Chapter 28

He took out his phone, the situation was worrying him.

"Brother, things are getting out of hand."

The message came in a matter of seconds.

"I know, we have to keep looking forward. Just stick to the plan."

"You know that I am trying but..."

"But what brother? You have to look east, the sun always rises."

"I know, but I am getting to close."

"I know that you are but you have to start shielding yourself to these emotions."

"How? You make it sound so easy."

"It is not easy, I just let the mission harden my emotions."

"I will try, I just wish you were at my side."

"Me too, I haven't seen you in years. But remember I am in your heart always."

"Thank you, brother, and good night."

"Good night."

He put his phone away and let out a breath, "Mother we will bring them all to justice."

Hoseok got into the seat that Namjoon hot out off. "Are you ready to go home, sir?"

Jin nodded, "Yes. I am over this day." He started the car again. "Unmei did an outstanding job."

"She did, sir." He looked at Jin, "Are you okay?"

Jin didn't respond and kept on driving until they stopped at the mansion. "I saw my mother."

He didn't say anything further and Hoseok knew he shouldn't press him on the situation, it was a sensitive subject.

The Kim family stood in an arch to greet their chairman. "Welcome home Mr Kim." He greeted them and pushed open the door, he blinked. "Who the hell are you?"

Jungkook bowed, "I am Yamato Kyu."

Hoseok stood next to Jim and folded his arms, "That doesn't explain what you are doing here."

Jungkook was still bowing. "Forgive me, sir, I am your new bodyguard."

New bodyguard? Why did he need a new bodyguard? Jin looked him up and down, "Stand up."

Jungkook straightened, "You may leave." Jungkook blinked, "Sorry sir?"

Jin walked past him, "You will have to earn my trust first before I will let you into my personal circle."

They left Jungkook standing in the foyer, "Hoseok get some tea." Jin opened his office door and took out his phone. After eighteen years, he had seen her for the first time after she had left them.

His father had told him the truth on the day he had taken Yumei, that she had left them to join the Kazuma family.

He found his mother's number the day he buried his father on his phone, so there were more secrets that he had not told him. He had saved the number on his phone but had never contacted her until now.

He was hurting, he had to come with terms that maybe she didn't love him and that is why she had left only to find out that she had left them to be with a man she had loved more.

And Yoongi, he walked out of their lives and into the Kazuma family, he was united with their mother but here he was, he had to suffer all these years with a delusional father.

He walked to his desk and sat behind it, they had to move forward in their plan but Namjoon was still a problem.

Not a big problem, it didn't look like if he knew the girl he helped early today was Yumei and he wanted to keep it that way.

He typed.

"Mommy, why didn't you greet me?"

When he had seen her at the hospital, he was happy and yet, she looked right through him. He typed a second message.

"Do you not love me anymore?"

His phone vibrated.

"Mommy loves you sweet boy, everything I have done I have done for you. I will do anything for you."

What did she do? She separated her life from his, so what did she do to save him?

He bit his lip and replied.

"Anything?"

If she was willing to do anything then that meant he could have a spy in the Kazuma family and then he would be one step ahead.

His phone vibrated.

"Yes, my sweet boy anything."

He grinned, so she was still on his side even after all these years. He leaned back in his office chair, "The days are approaching, Mr Kazuma and I, Jim Kim will take everything from you.

Tae tapped on Namjoon's shoulder. " Ready to go?"

Namjoon turned around to face him, "I am and then we should really get rid of Jeoni."

Tae bit back laughter, "Did she ambush you again?"

"You have no idea! She is trying to make up these fake crimes to get me to spend time with her."

Tae doubled over in laughter, "She is highly smitten with you."

Namjoon crossed his arms, "That is not funny! Can you believe she called Yumei imaginary?"

Tae wiped at the tears that formed from his laughter, "Did she now? She is just jealous, don't let it get to you."

Namjoon snorted, "Well, she is an airhead." He started walking, "Enough of silly girls let's get going."

Tae didn't move, "You want to walk to the hospital?"

Namjoon paused, "How else are we going to get there?"

Tas held out keys, "I borrowed my brother's car for today."

Namjoom stared, he didn't know Tae had a brother. At least they don't have to walk to the hospital. "That is lucky for us."

He and Tae walked to the car, "Can we stop at a store? I would like to buy her a gift."

"Sure, what are you going to get her?"

Namjoon placed his fingers on his chin, good question and he just found his answer. "I am going to buy her a purple stuffed unicorn."

Tae rolled his eyes, "You know you are talking about an adult girl?"

Namjoon didn't respond to Tae's question he was smiling at himself, that would be a perfect gift for the girl who had opened his eyes to the world anew.

Jimin sat in the chair that was in the corner of Yumei's hospital room. His mind was all over the place, he hoped Yumei's operation was a success and that Yoongi wouldn't be into much trouble.

He will make him tell him the truth on what had happened, he didn't even tell him how she got here because he wasn't with her at that time. Yumei hadn't talked about it yet, except she only said she tripped.

He didn't believe her and that was the first lie she had ever told him. They weren't as close as they used to be and he wished that they were but to get her out of this life he had to distance himself from her.

He had asked Yoongi to find this Kim Namjoon that was at the university with them so that they can have an exit plan for her. And the way that she talked about him made him think that she was already in love.

Her hospital room opened and the nurses rolled her in, he stood up from the chair when they finished positioning the bed. "How did it go?"

The first nurse turned to him and smiled, "It went well, she was very lucky that her leg didn't shatter."

He sighed in relief, they left the room and he approached the bed. Yumei was still asleep, he saw that the cast was on and he chuckled softly; it was purple. "You are one strange girl."

He leaned over and kissed her temple, "Maybe in another life, I would have married you happily."

He returned to the chair in the corner and looked out the window,  night has finally come and he might as well get some sleep before she wakes.

Tae stopped at the convenience store, "Good luck on finding your stuffed unicorn."

Namjoom stuck out his tongue. "I'll be right back." He climbed out of the car and entered the store, he walked to the toy section and ducked behind one of the shelves. "What is Jeoni doing here?"

Jeoni was talking over the phone, "I am telling you Himeko, Joonie was brushing me off."

He peeked around the shelf, she had store clothes on, so she is working here? 'Mental note, avoid this store from now on."

"How can you say that?"

"Are you sure he is just playing hard to get?"

Namjoon turned around and quietly walked the other way to approach the toy section but her voice was carrying.

"You think he made up this Yumei girl to make me jealous?"

Namjoonn rolled his eyes, this girl was just full of herself and he turned the corner. Success on avoiding Jeoni now he can quickly find what he was looking for.

He looked at the stuffed animals and saw one purple unicorn that stood out. It had rainbow coloured hair, the horn was a beautiful white and the eyes were pink.

This was the one, he picked it up when he turned he bumped into none other than Jeoni. "Joonie?"

"Jeoni, what a pleasant surprise!" He noticed that she was flattening her hair.

"What are you doing here? Have you come to surprise me?"

He took several steps back, "No. I didn't even know you were working here."

She suddenly looked down at the unicorn. "Are you buying a present?"

Namjoon hid the unicorn behind his back, "Yes- yes I am."

She grinned, "Is it for me? I don't like stuffed animals but if it is from you-"

Namjoon retreated a few more steps, "It is not for you." He saw annoyance flash over her face, "Then who is it for?"

"That is none of your business, Jeoni. If you'll excuse me." He turned around and ran he didn't even hear Jeoni's words, 'It is my damn business! We are a coup-"

He got to the cashier and stuffed the money in her hand, "Thank you." He exited the store and climbed into Tae's car. "Drive!"

Tae blinked, "What happened? It looks like you have run the marathon."

Namjoon looked towards the store and saw Jeoni standing there, "Tae drive now."

Tae looked in the direction that he was, "Oh!" He started the car and off they went, "That is why you look like you have run miles."

Namjoon leaned back in the seat, "I am telling you that is on bat crazy woman."

Tae laughed, "Well, you got your unicorn."

"I almost didn't have it, Jeoni asked if it was hers."

Tae kept his eyes on the road, "She doesn't look like the type that likes stuffed animals."

"She said that and said but if it was from me she would accept it."

Tae stopped the car, night had fallen when they've reached the hospital. "You are right, one shallow woman."

They both climbed out, "Do you know what room she is in?"

Namjoon shook his head, "No but I will find it."

They walked to the entrance, "Good luck."

Yumei opened her eyes and let out a painful groan. She tried to sit up but her right leg was heavy, she remembered where she was; in the hospital.

The room was dark and she tried to sit up again, she succeeded and saw a silhouette in the chair.
