26. (Do you like him)

Yuri's pov:

"No, I was kidding," he laughed. "Nothing like that happened. I was recruited. My parents died of old age. My sister is alive and well, but she lives outside the country"

I was stunned for a moment.

"SUCH SHIT", I yelled and threw chips at him. "Is this a story that there is a joke on! »

"Well, Seokjin did it for me. He said it made him look badass. Also that every mafia member should have a dark 'past'. It makes them more authentic"

"You're all a bunch of idiots," I scoffed, nibbling angrily at other Doritos.

"We are. And now you're one of us too. We probably didn't start well yuri, but I feel like we could be friends," he said.

I looked at him, not expecting to hear what he was saying and he just shrugged.

"We are members of the mafia. To most people, we are the biggest bastards of all time. And that's true too. But at the end of the day, we too have emotions. We make ourselves friends, we love people, we find love. It's not that different for us."

I nodded, not sure what to say to him. Maybe because I could identify myself. Sometimes I wondered what it would be like to have someone I loved, someone to have a family with.

He laughed. "I can't believe anyone other than the Bangtan boys took a hit for Taehyung. Especially a woman"

" What do you mean ? »

"Taehyung is a badass. He doesn't trust a lot of people. He also doesn't let anyone get too close to him. Things have happened to him in the past that made him like that. Apart from Bangtan, I don't even think he likes anybody"

"Jennie," I added. "He loves Jennie," I spoke bitterly, remembering every moment I saw her enter his room.

"No, he doesn't like Jennie. He's just indifferent to her. I bet he doesn't even know her full name. They have this mutual thing where they fuck and call it a day. the beginning. He don't want emotional shit. But," turned to look at me. "I've seen a change in his behavior recently. And I like to think maybe it's because of you"

"Me?" I asked in bewilderment.

"Do you remember that day with Bosco? Have you overdosed? It was the first time I had seen him worry about someone. He panicked as if his life depended on it. Also a week ago. When you passed out from the injury. The way he came running to the mansion, yelling at everyone for the Dr to surprise me. He was way too upset and he looked scared. This change is new to all of us."

I was stunned and speechless. Did he imply that Taehyung probably liked me? I didn't think that could be possible.

"Do you love him too?" he asked.

"NO", I immediately said.

"What about that nude tone?" he asked, a mischievous smile on his face.

"Love shit...and I don't like shit...but yeah, I won't lie, he's kinda like V's daddy"

"Well, you can lie, but your body won't," he laughed and pulled my cheeks.

I was horrified. What was the personality of this man? Has he always been this happy? But then, as a member of the mafia, he looked so deadly.

"Why are you so bubbly?" I asked, taking her hand away.

"Well, that's just me. When I'm not working, I'm quite fun to be around," he replied, reaching for something before picking up my M&Ms.

"Soo, isn't that something you force yourself to do?" I asked

" what ?! Of course not, I'm actually very happy by nature," he said.

"And you? Why are you always faking everything?" He asked and my heart sank and I couldn't make eye contact with him anymore.

"I should have killed you when I had the chance," with that, I threw the candy at her. "I hope you choke"

"Oh, I have no problem choking," he said, winking at me.

I laughed as I slapped his back. "Good to know that someone likes to make sex jokes in this house"

Hoseok also laughed as we shamelessly continued to eat Jungkook's snacks. For the first time, I felt like I made a friend in this house. In the distance, a faint "which one of you took my snacks" was heard.
