CHAPTER 55&56

                             ★★★★★

"Why? You won't do that?" Kris smirked. He raised his hand and trailed his fingertips on her cheek.

"Then, do you want me to do it the normal way?" He asked.

"Since my wife is depriving me of my food, why don't I do it in the usual way?" His hand trailed to her chest.

"No, Kris, next time please" Cecilia begged.

Kris smiled and moved away from her.

"Good. It wouldn't be nice for a husband to be raping his wife all the time, right?"

"So, don't ever think of going back if you don't want me to rape you to death" he said as his face turned to a deadly one.

"Come down for lunch" he said and went out of the room.

Cecilia fell to the floor as a tear rolled down her cheek. Here, she was stuck with a monster, a monster that makes life miserable for her every minute.

It was all her fault, if only she had spoken out to her husband, if only she hadn't let her fear control her, this wouldn't have happened.

She would be with her husband and children now, her Kookie and Lissy.

SEOUL HIGH SCHOOL***

Jimoon stood still as Hyeonji continued crying against his chest. The words she was mumbling in her sleep got him wondering if something was wrong with her Dad.

"Hyeonji..." He tried to push her away so he could see her face but she refused and held him tighter.

"Don't push me away please" she cries.

He sighed and wrapped his arms around her as he allowed her to cry her heart out.

Lisa was about to enter the class but stopped when she saw the scene in front of her. She bit her lips and turned her back to them, she glanced at them again before leaving there.

Maybe it's best to give up on him, since she can't have him as a lover, then a friend will be okay. She wouldn't wanna lose him on both sides.

***

Jimoon made Hyeonji sit on a chair and he sat on the desk, facing her. Her face was still wet with tears.

"Can you tell me what's wrong?" He asked softly.

Hyeonji shook her head and looked away.

Jimoon stretched his hand and held her cheek so she could meet his gaze.

"You're in pain, Hyeonji. Please share it with me" he muttered.

"Did something happen to your Dad?" He asked.

"He's gone," she mumbled.

Jimoon was over shocked to hear that.

"He left me when I needed him the most. I was only fourteen then, I was sick and he left to buy me drugs,,, he never returned after that night" her tears came falling like a river.

"My mom blames me for his death every single day, no day goes without her showing her hatred towards me. After the day I got discharged from the hospital, her attitude towards me changed drastically. She doesn't treat me like her daughter again, she hates me more than anything in the world" she sniffs.

"She became a drunkard who drinks anytime in the day, she beats me up at any slight chance she has. She...." Her tears couldn't allow her to finish her words.

Jimoon got down from the desk and pulled her head to his chest, his hand soothing her hair slowly.

"Was she the one who made you have those bruises?" He asked, trying to hide the pain laced in his voice

Hyeonji nodded her head against his chest and a tear dropped down his cheek. He quickly used his hand to wipe it away.

"I killed my Dad, if only I wasn't sick that day, if only he hadn't gone out to buy me the drugs, he would still be alive by now" she cried.

"No, don't say that. It wasn't your fault, no father would watch his child dying in front of him without doing a thing. It's not your fault, Hyeonji" he muttered.

Hyeonji wrapped her hands around his waist as she closed her eyes tightly. She had never told this to anyone, not even Wang. She had never shown her weakness to anyone, but he saw it all.

Strangely, she could feel a burden being lifted off her chest now that she shared it with someone else.

"Your mom is probably depressed that's why she thinks that way, it ain't your fault, Hyeonji" Jimoon said.

JEON INVESTMENT***

There was a knock on Jungkook' door and V entered. He bowed his head.

"The car is ready sir" he said.

Jungkook nodded.

"And the driver?" He asked.

"I already told him what you said. He'll be returning to work tomorrow" V answered.

"Good. And I have a job for you" Jungkook said. He signaled V to come closer which he did.

"I want you to guard Jimin in secret, I feel like Jeon won't just sit still" he said, referring to his Dad.

"Report his every movement to me, make sure he's in no danger. If you see any strange person around him, don't hesitate to inform me. Lastly, don't allow him to be aware of your presence"

"You mean I should protect hy in secret?" V asked.

"Yes. I trust you the most out of my men that's why I'm assigning this job to you"

"Don't worry Boss, I'll never disappoint you. I'll make sure your boyfriend will be in no danger" V said.

Jungkook raised his brow.

"I know everything, you've never treated a any guy the way you do to him. It's very obvious that you both are in love with each other" V smiled.

Jungkook placed his elbow on the table as he joined his palms together.

"I've been lenient on you, right? I've been too easy on you till the extent that you now have the time to pry into my private life, isn't it?" He asked.

V's eyes widened.

"No, Boss. Not at all, pardon me if I'm being too nosy" he quickly bowed his head.

"Leave" Jungkook said.

V bowed his head again and quickly left the office.

Charles grinned. He wasn't wrong after all, he has never treated any guy the way he does to Jimin.

"Cara Mia" he mumbled to himself.

He stood up and picked up his phone, after making sure he forgot nothing, he left the office.

He saw Jimin sitting on his chair, rolling a pen in between his hands. In as much as that act of his looks so innocent and cute, to him, it was the most beautiful scene he has ever seen.

"Is the work too much for you?" He asked as he approached him.

Jimin snapped his head towards his direction and smiled when he got to him.

"No," he said.

"Huhuh, I don't believe you"

"Then don't" he mumbled.

Jungkook poked his forehead with his finger.

"You don't talk to your baby that way" he reprimanded.

"Tch!" Jimin grinned.

"Are you ready? It's time for us to leave" he said.

"Well yeah, let me just round this up" he muttered.

He quickly did a few things on his computer before shutting it down.

"All done," he smiled.

"Why are you looking so beautiful right now? Making me wanna do some naughty things to you" Jungkook suddenly said.

Jimin gasped.

"Don't you think you're being a pervert now?" He asked, clearing his throat.

"I wouldn't mind if it's just for you" he winked.

Jimin shook his head while laughing. He picked his handbag and they both went to take the lift.

They both came out of the elevator and Jimin walked ahead of Jungkook till they got outside.

"Did you really have to act that way?" Jungkook scoffed when they got to the car.

V opened the car door for them and they both entered the car.

Just as they settled in the car, Jungkook' phone rang. Jungkook brought out his phone and on seeing his Dad's name on his screen, he dropped the phone.

"Why aren't you picking his call?" Jimin asked.

"Nothing" the call ended and almost immediately, it started ringing again.

"Pick the call, it might be important," Jimin said.

"I don't want any disturbance whenever I'm with you" Jungkook smiled. He asked knew why his Dad was calling and he's never gonna pick the call.

"But...."

"No buts, Cara Mia" he said.

"You're so stubborn," he mumbled.

Jungkook pretended like he didn't hear him.

"Come here" he pulled Jimin to his laps.

"Where do you want us to go?" He asked as he played with Jimin's hair, placing his arms around his waist.

"Where do you think?" He asked.

"How about lunch first?"

"That's not a bad idea," he smiled.

****

JEON'S FAMILY HOUSE***

Mr. Jeon stared at his phone angrily, he could sense that Jungkook was ignoring his call and that made him infuriated the more.

"How could he date his secretary of all people? A guy from Guryeo? That poor neighborhood?"

He loved Jimin but after discovering his poor background, he suddenly developed hatred for him.

The pain his ex-wife left was still fresh in his mind. How he kept begging her not to abandon him and the children. Jungkook was just 11 years old while Lisa was a year old.

She left their little daughter when she was so young, till now, Lisa doesn't even have an idea of what her mother looks like.

He was once a poor man who got married to the love of his life, Cecilia. It wasn't easy for them to fend for themselves and after she left, things suddenly went worse for him.

How could he cater for his two children when he was nothing but a poor man?

Mr. Jeon closed his eyes tightly as the memories filled his head.

This was why he's never supporting the relationship between Jungkook and Jimin.

His ex-wife abandoned him and their children, while Jungkook' first love aborted his baby, leaving a very fresh wound in Jungkook' heart.

And Jimin? What if he does something worse than that? He would never allow that.

He faced the guy in front of him.

"Get me his number. It's time for me to act before it becomes too late" he said.

****

TAEBOK KC***

The car stopped in front of a restaurant and both Jimin and Jungkook alighted from the car.

"Where's this place?" Jimin asked, staring at the restaurant.

"This is Taebok KC, haven't heard of it before?" Jungkook asked.

"No" Jimin shook his head.

"Don't worry Cara, I'm going to explore the whole world with you" he smiled.

He turned to V.

"Stay out here and watch out for any suspicious moves" he mouthed to him.

V nodded and bowed his head.

Jungkook placed his hand on Jimin's waist and they both walked into the restaurant.

"Welcome, Mr. Jeon" a female attendant said to them when they entered. They were led to a table.

Jimin looked around the restaurant and wondered why everywhere was so silent. He once worked at a restaurant before, and during the noon, a lot of people do come out for lunch. But, this was odd to him.

"Jungkook, why's everywhere so silent? No single soul is here, are you sure this place is safe?" He whispered.

Jungkook chuckled.

"Of course Cara, this is the best restaurant in Seoul, trust me you're going to love their food" he winked.

Jimin frowned.

"You talk like you've been here to this place before, how many guys have you brought here?" He asked in deep jealousy.

"Guys? You're the first guy, Minnie" Jungkook said.

"Then, how do you know their food is the best?" Jimin asked, still not believing him.

"That's because I do order my lunch and sometimes dinner from here, can't believe you're jealous right now" he muttered.

"You can't blame me," he mumbled.

The attendant appeared with three men behind her. She stepped aside and they placed the various dishes on the table which led Jimin in astonishment.

"We haven't ordered anything yet," he said. He couldn't remember them bringing the menu.

"Sir Jeon has everything in order," the attendant said.

Jimin stared at Jungkook.

"He booked the whole restaurant" the attendant said and Jungkook frowned. Didn't he warn her to expose the truth?

"What?" Jimin gasped.

The men placed the foods on the table and disappeared, leaving the two alone.

"Isn't this too much? This is too much money" Jimin muttered, staring at Jungkook in awe.

"You just love wasting money, don't you?"

"I already told you I'm ready to spend my whole money on you Minnie, besides this is nothing to what I'm still gonna do in the future"Jungkook said.

"Let's eat minnie, we still have some places to go," he said.

Jimin stared at the food, he's never had things like this in his life.

He picked the cutlery and ate a bite from the sandwich. His eyes widened.

"Wow!" He exclaimed.

"I told you" Jungkook grinned.

Jimin smiled as he quickly dug in the food.

Jungkook watched him with a smile on his face. He has come to love this man in front of him and he will never allow anything to come between them.

SEOUL HIGH SCHOOL***

"Is Jimoon being fair? He's always around Hyeonji and that hurts. He's suddenly tossing us aside" Suga complained to Lisa on their way home.

"I can't blame him, he needs to be around the person he loves. This is a chance for him" Lisa said.

"Why are you suddenly talking like you're in love?... Wait, are you in love? With who?" Suga asked.

"No one" Lisa cleared her throat.

A bike came speeding towards them, Suga pulled Lisa to him and the bike drove past them.

"Are you alright?" Suga asked Lisa whose hand was on his chest.

"Yea..." She cleared her throat and quickly moved away from him.

"I'm fine," she muttered.

Suga stared at the bike which was already out of sight.

"Who allowed a lunatic to drive during the day?" He asked aloud.

"Let's go" he said and they continued their journey.

****

"Are you ready?" Jimoon asked Hyeonji who was packing her books. He just finished teaching her some math problems.

"Yes, I am" she smiled as she carried her back.

He stretched his hand towards her.

"Let's go," he said.

She smiled and placed her hand on his own, they turned and was about to take a move when they saw Wang staring at them angrily.

"How dare you try to touch her?" He yelled.

"How has that got to do with you?" Jimoon asked.

"Stay away from her" Wang gritted

"And why should I do that?"

"You already lost her the day you toyed with her feelings" Jimoon said and walked away.

Wang held Hyeonji's hand such that she was caught between the both of them.

"Don't go with him please, I'm sorry" he begged, glaring at Jimoon angrily.

Hyeonji removed her hand from his and held unto Jimoon tightly.

"Let's go," she smiled at him.

Jimoon stared at Wang for a while before leaving the class with Hyeonji.

"I lost her," Wang mumbled sadly.

****

JAY PARK MANSION, AT NIGHT***

Jay was already asleep when Hwasa entered the room. She walked towards the bed and stared at his sleeping figure.

After making sure he was deep asleep, she moved away from the bed and walked to his drawers. She saw him putting some bundles of money in there. This is the right opportunity for her.

Steadily, she opened the drawer and checked it to find it empty. She started checking all the drawers and just when she got to the last one....

"What are you doing?" She heard his voice.

She turned and was surprised to find him behind her, looking awake already.

"Aaaaaaahhh!!" She screamed and fell on her b*tt, staring at him in shock.

Wasn't he asleep before?

****

The car stopped when they arrived at the house, Jimin alighted from the car and Jungkook did too.

"Thanks for today, I really enjoyed myself," Jimin smiled.

After they left the restaurant, they went to watch a comedy show, of course Jungkook booked the whole place.

Afterwards, they went to a Spa where they had a really good time massaging their body. They were also given some body treatments. They went to some places he couldn't remember and in short, he really enjoyed himself.

"It's nothing, Cara Mia. As long as it's you, then I'm willing to do more" Jungkook said.

Jimin hugged him, resting his head on his chest.

"I love you, Jungkook," he whispered.

"I love you more and more, Bella Mia. Promise never to leave me please" he muttered.

"I will never leave you Jungkook, I promise" he said.

Jungkook smiled happily and hugged him tighter.

They broke the hug and shared a deep kiss before pulling away.

"Go in, I'll be watching you," he said.

Jimin shook his head.

"No, you go first. I'll enter afterwards"

"You first"

"No, you first"

After a lot of persuasion, Jungkook entered the car and the car drove off.

Jimin turned to enter the house and at that time, his phone rang.

He brought out his phone to find an unknown number calling him. He picked it.

"Hello, who's this?" He asked slowly.

"It's me, Jeon.... Jungkook' father"

Jimin gasped.

TBC...
