Chapter 12
SAVE ME
Prosecutor :"Mr Jung, as we all are aware of your mental health. According to you, there is still no progress. You don't remember anything happened that day before the incident am I right?"
After confirming the question from the respected Jung who stood in the witness box, he proceeded with his statement making sure the Judge and everyone present in the courtroom were focused.
"We found out that Mr. Steven George was with you that whole day and it was confirmed once we checked the CCTV Footage of your office three years back"He picked up a USB from his table and walked forward handing it over to the assistant who played it on the LED present in the courtroom.
"but the thing to be noted my lord is that, Mr Jung here have no memory of that day as confirmed by him right now. However, According to the statement here I have from his daughter, miss Jung YN. It says, Mr Jung accepted it himself that Mr Steven was with him that whole day. Quite suspectful."
That was the time it hit him when YN told him she saw Steven cheating on him only to get the information out of him. As the case proceeded one by one all of the suspects revealed. Even those which they never thought would be involved in this and were given proper punishments acoording to the law.
Dr. Gale - who changed the postmortem report under threat, pressure and slight greed which resulted the whole case to be flipped upside down, giving it a shape of self defense.
Steven - A mere obssesed psycho who saw YN and found this attraction towards her who made him forget all the rights and wrongs. Never like these people were doing any good in this world either. It was planned to have Jungkook killed that day however call it luck or misfortune the drinks were exchanged resulting in the death of the older brother.
Jung - for whom the greed became bigger than his own daughter. A person who doesn't deserve a title of a father. Several billions and a private island gifted by Steven. Some "several promises" as pretty excuses like a cherry on top to provide his daughter a lovely and luxurious life.
Dr. Saim - Jung's personal doctor. Who, after mere greed faked Jung's illness. He was not suffering from any memory loss. It was under the doctor's whole constant and a few dollars in his pocket.
As soon as the handcuffed criminals were brought out of the court room, a rage filled guy pounced upon one of them ignoring rest of the three. But whom he was kidding - he was standing in a court surrounding by armed police officers and people who provide "justice"
Before he could land a third punch he was torn away from Steven George who was on the floor by this point only after two punches. Blame his cuffed wrists.
Officer :" We warn you Mr. Jeon. Please step back or else we will be forced to take action against you." His rage filled eyes moved from Steven to the officer and a quick disgusting tour of his vision over all the men present there.
JK :" Yeah, that's all you know how to do after all." He spat and turned around his sole marching out of the court room.
Greed- Intense and selfish desire for something. A human eats another human, if not in the name of cannibalism then let it go by the name "greed" Several lives were ruined. Four lives of criminals. A young guy in his twenties who had a whole bright future ahead of him was murdered. A girl who was trapped in all of this without a reason, lost a family and started believing she was the cause of all the lives ruined. Parents of the victim who lost a son and were near losing another and Jungkook....
His mental health ruined.
The case solved, his brother received justice but it only worsened his mental health. The mere fact, that day he was supposed to die. If only he didn't drag Jinwoo with him the older would be alive. He blamed himself more and more till he was forced to visit psychotherapist. Whenever, he would meet the psychiatrist he would say only one sentence.
"I should've died. A life would be saved. Mine's went to waste anyways."

AN YEAR LATER
"we asked the Label's CEO - Jung YN to break down the development process, marketing strategies and business expansion. Over the past few years, there rise fueled the success and eventual worldwide expansion of their label --" The news broadcasted in the background over a TV screen which seemingly went ignored by the person present in the room. She seemed to be in a hurry not planning to listen to the press conference in case they added wrong information as cherry on top because yeah, that's what news channels do.
Standing in front of a mirror she worn her pearl earrings which went along her beautiful black dress. A small eye smile reflected through her reflection in the mirror as she hurried on grabbing her purse and rushed out of her home.
Once she reached the destination, her heartbeat rose up as if sky rocketing to the cloud 9. It was normal to her at this point. Like a daily thing which she successfully learnt to ignore.
Stepping down the car she was met by a strong blew of wind, it was fall. The ground was filled with orange and brown autumn leaves. Her hair flew and the rush of wind made her squint her eyes looking for one particular presence.
He was there, like a daily thing. Sitting beside his brother's grave, eyes fixed on the name stone as if having a really deep conversation with his brother through those eyes. Sometimes, he would start smiling and the next moments tears would start falling down those eyes like crystal dews.
She would visit them daily, sit on the bench at a distance and watch him quietly. Never once he would turn around to notice her presence until one of those days when she would step forward and start a conversation with him.
Their relationship started getting better too, after the trial that day. The two never touched each other wrongly. Never once shared a word filled with hatred towards the other. Both of them were dragged into this pit of darkness without a fault. Jungkook was healing. Taking therapy sessions for a whole year and visiting his brother daily surely helped him.
An adoring smile appeared on her lips as she stayed on the bench away from him while staring at him. Her pupils would dilate, any passerby could tell she was a fool in love.
That's it
Taking a few deep breaths she stood up walking up to him. Jungkook didn't try looking up knowing who it was. At this point he was pretty sure of the eyes watching him through the distance daily. YN giggled a bit taking a seat beside him without a care.
"You're getting back to being handsome huh. Ain't looking like a zoombie anymore." He had to look up, the symphony of that giggle that he wanted to play again and again and again like a gramaohonical record till his reminscing senses worked. At that point, he felt his lips stretching in to a smile too.
Jk: "You were always beautiful."She smiled when Jungkook's feature seemed a little softened, felt like at least a minuscule of a step closer to what she had yearned to achieve today.
The yearn to lean forward and be a little, just a little more closer to him overtook her inner fight of staying in her lane. So she did, resting her head on his shoulder which he didn't seem to mind a bit, her heart jumped at the victory and felt as if it was going to swell by the warmth that a slight touch provided her.
"His name really brought you a fortune." She started proudly while her soft eyes grazed over the name stone that mentioned "Jeon Jinwoo".
"Orelse, I would have sworn to die before believing your Bakery achieved that much success. I mean, c'mon you were such a worse Baker." She earned a soft laugh out of him and it was more than what she had planed to earn today.
Dear heart, calm down.
Apparently, Jungkook had given up on business. Stepping down from the CEO position. It was an uproar in the business market along with the perfect headline for the news channels. Giving the CEO spot to an outsider. His father, however, stayed to the 'chairman' position and never once forced his son or questioned him. Jungkook wanted to live his brother's dream and made it his own career. He learnt baking and most of the time, would take care of the huge orders himself for example wedding cakes. It was the biggest step on bringing him back to life.
JK :" You still ate my hand made pan cakes even those burnt ones." He looked at her with his big doe eyes staring into those hazel orbs which almost hung at the verge of tearing up. He slid the pad of his thumb against the corner of her eye wiping the diamond drop that almost fell.
Resting his hand on her cheek, he softly caressed it staring deep down into those beautiful orbs he grew so attracted to. He noticed, as days passed by. The shine returned to it's owner turning those emotionless eyes back into a milky way he would rather drown in happily.
Her eye lids slowly lowered letting her beautiful eye lashes hover over the softly tanned honey colored skin which glowed under the sunlight. His eyes slowly traveled down to those plum lips which worn a lip oil having a natural pink color to them. He let himself fall in to haze as he leaned forward placing his lips over hers.
Jungkook felt as if he fell in to heaven and YN wondered if she's hallucinating. She raised her hand and curled her fingers around Jungkook's slender ones. Their lips seem to have a mind of their own when they finally found their other half after years like falling into a religious.
It was YN who pulled away first and tenderly rests her head on the other's shoulder nuzzling comfortably in to the warm embrace.
"Gguk, please say something."
Jungkook straightened up and ran his hand through the soft flocculent shiny black hair and placed a small feathery peck on her cheek.
JK: "Let's go home."
