Chapter 41
Shito was shocked, the Kim family had their eyes already set on Namjoon but what caught his attention was the fact that they have told him, he should stop looking into his daughter.
This disturbed him, how could they still be after Yumei? Goro was dead, Riyu told him herself. He let go of Neu's arm, "They wouldn't go after a kid."
Neu took a step back, "Then you know nothing about my family."
Shito stood up, "Look, your son is not with my daughter yet. She is in hospital."
Neu shook his head, "Shito how did you come to know that my son-"
Shito cleared his throat, "She is at university and she met him there."
Neu narrowed his eyes, "So you are basing your plan on a chance meeting?"
Shito blinked, "Tell me, why was your son looking into her?"
Neu gulped. "I am not sure... They only said he should stop looking."
Shito's nose twitched, "Are you thinking what I am thinking?"
Neu's hands were trembling, he didn't have time to play a guessing game with him, "Just tell me, Shito."
Shito inhaled and turned his back on Neu, "It means they should have met before this all happened."
He didn't give Neu a chance to answer him, he left the cafe and returned to the limo. He didn't know if he should be excited or scared about this.
If Neu's boy met her before all of this, wasn't he a spy for the Kim family? And here he had thought that this Namjoon might be her salvation.
Majima was leaning against the limo, "That was quick, sir."
Shito nodded, "I have found out something."
But if he was a spy, Neu was playing it well. That could just mean that he didn't know his son was in the Yakuza. This was getting out of hand, he had to make this go faster, 'Yumei... I am sorry that you wouldn't be able to complete your dream.'
Majima's eyes lit up, "Was it good news?"
Shito glared at him, "It might or not be."
Majima opened the car door, Shito slid inside. He closed the door and got in the driver's seat. "What does your heart tell you, sir?"
Shito leaned back in his seat, "I know Neu. He wouldn't have raised his boy the way of the Yakuza."
Majima started the car, "And?"
Shito raised an eyebrow at Majima, "Why are you so interested?"
Majima sighed inwardly, he would have to be careful or Mr Kazuma would make him hurt. "Because she is as much my daughter as yours."
Shito blinked, this was the first time that Majima spoke to him in this manner and what did he- "Majima-"
"I am sorry to have been blunt, but I have as much right as you for her well being. I raised her too."
Shito didn't know how to reply to Majima's words in his heart he knew he was right. He had never been there for Yumei like a father should have been and he had watched Riyu with her.
They were a dysfunctional family, "Majima, how-"
Majima started the car, "I was there when she took her first steps. I was there when she spoke her first words. I was there when she fell and cried for her parents who were at a business dinner. I was there when she wanted to play a fairy tea party. I was there when-"
"Please, stop." Shito's voice came out as a whisper, he missed his whole daughter's life in addition to get her a better one.
He had never been happy to know she was loved by the other members of his family.
Majima held his tongue, he hadn't meant to make him feel worse. It was just that she is his family and he wanted her to be happy.
He was also the one she came to when she had problems. Fighting with Jimin or Yoongi being mean, he was the one who told her how she should look beneath all the anger, the words and understand why they are acting that way.
He was the one who told her to never stop dreaming, never stop reading and never stop looking at the world with childlike eyes. "I am sorry, sir. I was out of place."
Shito shook his head, "You are right. My heart tells me that Namjoon would be the perfect husband."
Majima placed the car in drive, "Are you telling me or giving me an order?"
Shito looked Majima in the eye that reflected in the rearview mirror, "Both."
Majima nodded and drove them back to the estate, Yumei should be home by now and he was going to stop and by her a new book.
Yoongi was still with Unmei when Jimin's message came through. The nurse had cleaned her wound and placed a small gauze on it.
Unmei saw the worry flash over his eyes, "Something wrong?"
Yoongi smiled as he looked at her, "I have to go pick up, Yuki. Her father couldn't make it."
Unmei bit her lip, what father doesn't have the time to go pick up his daughter? "I will be fine, go Kiryu."
He blinked, she did say that she would protect his identity and he guessed now she knew why it was so important. "Thank you, Unmei. I will see you tomorrow."
She waved at him, "See you tomorrow."
Yoongi left the infirmary, he should probably find this Namjoon. He walked in the halls and stopped someone, "I am looking for a Namjoon Kim."
The girl let out a shrill laugh, "I will take you to Joonie!"
Yoongi wished he could close his ears, her voice was like a shredder. "Thank-"
She grabbed his arm and dragged him past a few corners till they stopped at a door which said, "Mystery club."
He knew this place, Yumei was here when he fought with her, his heart took a painful beat. 'Yumei...'
She let go of his arm and knocked on the door. The door opened and Yoongi looked past her at Kim Namjoon.
Namjoon blinked, "Jeoni?" He looked past her and saw that the bloodhound was looking at him with a look that made him quiver.
"This man was looking for you, so I have brought him to you."
Her voice, 'I want to plug up my ears.' He gulped, "Thank you, Jeoni."
She laughed, "I will be back later with more minty sweets for you!" She turned around and walked away, leaving Yoongi and Namjoon starting at each other.
Yoongi spoke first, "Can we like tape her mouth shut?"
Namjoon blinked and then they both burst into laughter. "I am so glad that I am not the only one who feels like that."
Yoongi recovered from the laughter and made his face solemn again. "You have asked me to bring news about Yuki."
Namjoon nodded, "Yes! Would you like to come in?"
Yoongi didn't want to stay long as Jimin and Yumei are waiting but he might as well do a little spying. "Sure..."
He walked past Namjoon and found another man in the small office, he nodded at him. "Good Afternoon."
Yoongi just nodded his head at him, Namjoon closed the door and went back to his seat. "You said you bring news?"
Yoongi was looking around, it had a desk with a board behind it and a few newspapers clippings. 'Interesting, Yumei would like this.'
Yoongi saw that they both were looking at him in anticipation. Was this his friend? Could he be trusted? "Yes, Yuki is fine. She was sleeping soundlessly when I got there."
He heard Namjoon's breath of relief.
"Is she leaving the hospital?"
Yoongi bit his lip and suddenly had an amazing idea. 'Yumei was going to be so happy.' Still didn't mean he trusted him.
He cleared his throat, "Yes, I am on my way to pick her up."
"I am glad that she will be leaving."
Yoongi didn't miss the slight disappointment in his voice, yes he was happy that she was fine and coming out of the hospital but that meant he wouldn't be able to sneak in.
Yoongi smirked at that thought, "Are you busy now?"
Namjoon blinked, "What-"
The other man continued his sentence for him, "No. He is not busy at all."
Namjoon turned his attention to Tae, Tae smirked at him. He turned his attention back to Yoongi, "I am free."
Yoongi nodded, "Good."
Namjoon didn't understand what was good about it? Yoongi closed the gap between them, "You are coming with me."
He was what now? The bloodhound was going to let him see her? After all, he had said this morning? "I am what-"
Yoongi wanted to apologize to Yumei and if this was the way to go, he will keep grovelling to see her smile. He kept his glare on Namjoon, "Yes. Let us go."
He didn't give Namjoon a chance to argue not did he look back if he was following him. He opened the door and left.
Namjoon sat there for a few seconds, that man was scary... The way he towered over him now...
"You should follow him now, Joonie."
His thoughts snapped back and he glanced at Tae, "I don't know if I should-"
Tae rolled his eyes, "You are going to lose him."
Namjoon stood up abruptly, his mind was spinning but he followed her bloodhound. He hoped that it was as he said that he would see her and not...
He saw him turn a corner and ran after him, "Wait!"
But he didn't and Namjoon ran after him, he stopped only when they got to the parking lot and he waited at the car. "Are you afraid of me, Namjoon?"
'Yes!' Namjoon was out of breath, "Is there a reason that I should be afraid of you?"
He opened the car door, "There are multiple reasons that you should be afraid."
Namjoon opened the door on his side and got in, "What are the reasons?"
Yoongi grinned, this was fun to see him sweat a little. "If you break Yuki's heart... I will break your knee caps."
Namjoon gulped and fastened his seatbelt as he turned on the car to drive them. "I would never hurt her."
Yoongi nodded, "If I ever get wind that you are the reasons for her tears even if it is not now but in the future-"
Namjoon finished his sentence, "You will break my knee caps."
