TIME SKIP TO 10 AM...

Y/n woke up and did her morning routine before walking downstairs to see if the men came back or not. The whole night she was wondering if they were doing good, even though they were mafias and experienced a lot of problems and danger, she still couldn't stop herself from worrying about their well being.

In this short period of time, she created a little bounding with them which was only growing bigger and bigger. Soon she arrived downstairs, massaging her puffy eyes and walked to the dinning area to eat her breakfast. As usual, her plate was already prepared and settled onto the table. She sat down on her seat and started to eat her toast with omelette.

Few bites later, she drank the fresh grape juice before finishing with her last bites and getting up, leaving for the living room. By now she was convinced that the men didn't come back and that there was no hope seen from afar that they would show up as sooner as she expected.

Suddenly, as she arrived into the living room, Yeonjun popped out of nowhere and called for her "Ms. Lee!" She turned around and saw him walking to her before he could bow "Oh, Mr. Yeonjun. What brings you here?" She bowed back and he replied.

"Mr. Jeon gave me the order to take your phone and burn the sim card as well destroy the phone." Y/n widened her eyes and approached a step closer to him "What? But why?" He shook his head "I don't know Ms. Lee, but they ordered me to do so right away before it's too late. And about your personal needs, like calling someone or anything, you can use my phone without any problem."

She sighed out of disbelief and Yeonjun ignored the eye contact, he knew very well why she couldn't have her phone on herself but Jungkook ordered him strictly to not to let her use her device because it was the first thing that their enemy was trying to hack. "But...." She sighed as she found no words and decided to take out her phone and hand it over to him.

He smiled at her actions and grabbed the phone before bowing again. With that, he opened the phone, pulled out the sim card, pulled out a lighter and burned the sim card right away. Then he didn't think twice before taking a little hammer which he bought with himself and hit the screen hardly until the phone shattered into pieces, leaving Y/n's jaw dropped to the floor.

It took her 5 months to buy this but this man destroyed it in less than 5 seconds. With that he smiled at her and spoke "Thank you, Ms. Lee. And yeah, If you want to ask anything, feel free to tell me." She nodded, still trying to proceed what happened and almost whispered "When can I go to meet my father?"

He hummed, thinking deeply "You can surely do so when Mr. Jeon comes back, otherwise it's impossible." She nodded and he bowed before leaving from there and she fell onto the couch, out of shock. She couldn't digest the fact that her phone was turned into sand in no time.

MEANWHILE...

Jungkook was sitting on his office's chair, scanning the pen which was playing between his fingers with a cold gaze. At this moment, he was in a certain state of mind when nobody wanted fo disturb him otherwise they might not find one of their arms on their body.

And Taehyung sat there, on the couch while roaming his deep brown eyes on his laptop's screen, trying to find where their enemy called Kang Dae was. Time passed by and Taehyung punched the laptop, splitting it into two.

Jungkook eyed him by the corner of the eyes and sighed "È stato il quinto laptop che hai acquistato questo mese. (It was the 5th laptop that you bought this month)." Taehyung looked at him and regained his conciousness before gasping and taking back the broken device.

"Merda, non avrei dovuto farlo (Shit, I wasn't supposed to do this)." He huffed and put it back down before Jungkook could ask "What happened?" The older got up and walked to his side before leaning his hips on the desk "Their location isn't fixed, they keep moving in each country every 2-3 days."

Jungkook smirked and sat straight before putting down his pen "How immature and childish. Trying to mess with me but also running away." He then looked up at Taehyung and smiled reassuringly "Until how long will he run. You know what Vincenzo said?"

The blue haired guy frowned "Che cosa? (What?)." "When the cat's stomach is full, he plays with the mouse all day long. And once he's hungry, then the mouse is doomed." Taehyung suddenly chuckled "Not bad, not bad." He pat his shoulders and Jungkook started to read a file. "Now listen to me."

TIME SKIP TO 10 PM...

Y/n was laying on the couch of the living room like a starfish, admiring the ceiling, just like Jungkook used to do. She sighed desperately "Where are they?" It has been an hour that she didn't move from her place, wanting to see the men. Soon a maid came and asked "Ms. Lee, do you want me to settle your dinner onto the dinning table?"

She shook her head, not talking as no words came out and she continued to look up. The maid confirmed "Are you sure, Ms. Lee?" Y/n nodded and shook her hand dismissively and the woman went away after bowing. Y/n again sighed and whispered while eyeing the art "How much time did this art take to be fully done?"

She asked to herself as it was looking a big painting of the world war, with all the corpses, warriors with their swords, horses and the kings...but suddenly a face came in between her sight and the ceiling. "It took nearly 2 months." She frowned and soon gasped when she saw that it was Jungkook who was leaning beside her, onto the couch and looking at her upside down.

She quickly got up and faced him as he looked back at her and stood straight "Have you eaten?" She licked her lips nervously, trying to hide her smile which clearly wanted to show how happy she was to see him again after all day long. "No, I was waiting for you." He then approached her and stuffed his hands in his pocket "You shouldn't do this."

A frown played on her forehead as she asked for more information and he added as if he read her mind just like an open book "You shouldn't eat your meals that late." Y/n looked down and nodded before asking "Can I ask you a favor?" He nodded while taking off his coat and opening his tie, following with his 3 first buttons. She was in utter shock at how his professional and sophisticated side became a hot and sexy one, in no time.

She gulped down and looked away while concentrating on finding her lost words and stuttered "F-Father....can I go t-to meet him?" Jungkook nodded "Sure, eat your meal then let's go." Y/n looked up at him and smiled genuinely as a thank you to which he just gave a nod as a welcome.

If he wanted, he could be kinder to her, if he wanted, he could smile at her genuinely, if he wanted, he could hug her, but there was a rule that he promised to himself that it will never be broken. Never give your heart openly to anyone if you never want to be hurt. And Jungkook didn't want this to happen.

If this happens, he'll be never be the same like before. Love is dangerous when you're a mafia, not only for the mafia itself, but also the one they love. And hurting Y/n was the last thing he wanted on this earth. With that they walked to the dinning area and ate their dinner before leaving the house after getting ready.

Y/n and Jungkook made themselves comfortable onto their seats and he spoke "To ******* hospital." The driver nodded at this order and started to drive to their destination. The black haired guy leaned back into his seat and groaned lightly in tiredness, making Y/n look at him with concern.

After contemplating, she cleared her thraot, gaining the man's attention, to which he looked at her with sleepy eyes, making him look even hotter. "Was it a long day at work?" He hummed as a reply and she added "About Taehyung, I haven't seen him yet..." "He went out of country for a mission."

Y/n made an 'o' shape with her mouth and nodded in understanding "Is he the only one who goes out of Korea for all the missions?" Jungkook smiled internally at how she was being interested in their worklife "Most of the time yes, he's the one who goes when I have a lot of things to take care of here."

She nodded again and decided to keep quiet and to not to bother him as he looked quite tired and Jungkook closed once again his eyes, trying to take a little rest. A few moments later, they arrived at the hospital and got off from the car, walking inside of the building.

They arrived to her father's room and she slowly entered in, seeing him already asleep. A smile drew on her lips and she approached him before walking to his side and sitting down on the chair. Her soft hands got intertwined with her father's and she caressed them. Meanwhile Jungkook looked at them while leaning on the door frame, eyeing a beautiful scenery that he himself witnessed a few years ago with his own father.

"Thank God, I don't regret any act until today." He thought internally when he remembered how his father was proud of him before leaving this world. "Appa, I'm sorry for not coming as usual as before." She whispered and kissed his wrinkled hand as a tear left her eyes. "I wish I could handle all the problems in our life, but i forgot, in this low world only money is worth in everybody's eyes."

Jungkook listened silently while sighing internally, and she continued "Anyways, i know I always become an emotional fool. Don't mind me, alright? And about your surgery, trust me. I'm working hard at school and I'll try to earn as much money as I can just to see you longer in front of my eyes."

Suddenly, a doctor arrived and pat Jungkook's shoulder who turned around to look at him before leading him out of the room "Mr. Jeon, it's been a long time." Jungkook bowed lightly and nodded, after making sure that the room's door was closed behind his back "Yes, we were quite busy during these last days."

The doctor nodded while smiling and added "Well, as you already paid for the surgery, we wanted to ask you and Ms. Lee about the date to operate Mr. Lee for his tumor." Jungkook rubbed his chin and thought deeply "Y/n must know about her father's surgery, we can't do that without her consent." He was about to agree to this idea but then he thought "But I'll have to also admit that I paid for all the hospital fees and the surgery."

He threw back his hair and suddenly Y/n spoke from behind Jungkook, making him jolt up in fear. Y/n frowned when he saw the mafia flinching for the first time ever. "Jungkook, what am I hearing? You paid for everything? But why? I didn't ask for it, did I?" Jungkook breathed in deeply to regain himself and kept his natural attitude.

"I told you, you're my responsibility. Anyways, as you heard everything, when would you like them to operate your father?" She looked at him, at the verge of tearing up but she regained herself, at this point she was overwhelmed at the thought of him helping her financially but she also felt like a burden to him.

"I-I..." She found no words and looked down, making Jungkook reply instead "I guess you can do so tomorrow, the sooner, the better." Y/n didn't react so Jungkook took is as a yes from her and the doctor nodded before writing down the information. "Okay, so I hope that tomorrow evening you'll see a finally cured Mr. Lee."

Jungkook bowed, followed with Y/n and he asked "Doctor, is there any danger related to this operation?" The older shook his head "No, there's no danger so you shouldn't worry about anything." With that he bowed and left as Jungkook turned to Y/n who wiped her tears of happiness but guilt as well.

"Let's go, we shouldn't stay here longer." With that he started to walk away but Y/n stopped him by calling his name out "Jungkook?" He turned around and saw her slowly walking to him and standing a few inches away "Why are you doing this? Why are you making me feel guilty about being a burden to you? I can't afford to pay you back Jungkook...I-I..." She sniffed but he just stood there with his hands in his pockets.

After a few moments, he replied calmly "Y/n, let's be clear. I don't see this situation the way you're seeing it. You're seeing you being burdened by all the things I'm doing for you but I'm seeing myself as a human helping another human being. That's it." She kept quiet so he continued "Change your mentality because those things doesn't matter to me. My wealth being used on someone doesn't matter to me, me spending my time to help someone else weither than working for myself doesn't matter to me, me being in a problem doesn't matter to me. But you crying does matter to me, you being in pain does matter to me and you-"

He suddenly made a full stop and looked away as he felt like he said something that he shouldn've. With that he eyed her for one last time and left from there and she looked at his walking figure fading away. She wiped her last tears and smiled.

TBC♥️♥️.

Hope you're enjoying it, please wish me all the best for my exams, they are coming this week✨.
