7. Self Doubt

Jeon Jungkook

Although I make choices that ends up giving me some kind of benefit. But in the choice for protecting him, for the first time in my life I felt selfless. Making a choice that doesn't involve my benefit. I myself don't know the reason of doing so. When I saw those marks on his body, I felt an unknown rage inside me rage of doing the worst to the one who did this to him.

"So what's news?" I asked Hyunjin, because I know what he was here to tell me.

"It's true.... He is from outskirts of Daegu, studied college in Seoul a business major. He was working at a cafe recently. His parents still live in Daegu and they sold him instead of paying their loan to this Lee Insuk guy. We also found him. I hired a detective to have a close eye on him but we still have no information for whom he works. Also, that Lee Insuk was working as a diliverer he isn't involve in any kind of assault inflicted to him. Do you want me to abduct him for opening his mouth to learn truth? "

"No... There is no need to create fuss just keep on tailing him. Sooner or later he will lead us to the central system."

"Besides that he has a clear background, nothing criminal. Also he is a business major."

"That means whatever he told was true.... I wonder how can someone throw their own blood like this." I massaged my temples.

"Money Jungkook..... Money make you do things you can never imagine."

"This is pathetic.... Anyways, keep this matter confidential." I don't want Namjoon or my father to know about this. Not yet.

"You don't need to tell me that... You know I am loyal to you." Hyunjin winked.

"By any chance do you think all of this leads to Min? There are rumors he is involved in this kind of businesses."

"I don't think so, Min is untouchable like us. Even if he is involved why he would be interested in that boy to marry? Why would this insignificant amount of money will matter to him?"

"Yes, you are right..... Tell me as soon as you know anything about it." I said standing up from my seat.

"Let's go we are late for meeting with Wilson Corp." Hyunjin said.

As the car was leaving the villa, I saw him in the garden with the staff probably witnessing the plants getting watered. I don't know what was more attractive a garden full of flowers or his smile chasing after a butterfly.

I came home later in the evening, I had to send some important mails so I couldn't join the dinning table. While working I often loose the track of time, and my appetite also suppresses. I was lost in the screen of my laptop when a knock resonated interrupting my thoughts.

It might be Sungmo or some staff with food or stuff like that. I didn't look up, "Place it there..." I kept on pressing the keys of my device.

"Please eat it first hyung." My fingers stopped as soon as I heard his deep but low voice. Why was he here?

"Why are you here? Did Sungmo go short on staff?" I looked in his direction.

"Are...are you angry that I... Umm... I brought the food." His voice lacked the same confidence it had like twenty seconds ago. He gets scared easily.

I sighed and stood up walking towards his side. "No, Taehyung I am not angry at you. I just didn't want you to do all of this when we have staff."

"But I wanted to do it for you." He tried to look at my eyes but instantly looked away.
