Ch. 13: Epilogue

Jungkook POV

My eyes fluttered open as a irritable beeping noise rang in my ears. I looked around seeing that I'm in a hospital with my brother asleep in the chair. I groaned as I tried to sit up only to be stopped by a small hand on my chest. 

"You shouldn't be trying to move.", Soo Jin said and I slowly laid back.

"I can't stay here, I have to go and get him.", I strained and she scoffed.

"You, have to rest. By the time you get there, he'll already be in handcuffs and escorted to prison.", she told me and I frowned. 

"What but how?"

"I gave the jump drive to Seokjin who passed it on to the police.", Soo Jin stated as I remembered the usb. 

"Even in death Taehyung trying to protect you. His best friend. He made sure to exclude you from all of this. None of the files on the usb tell of the things you've done. If you go down there making a scene you'll be throwing away your own cell key.", she told me and I stared down at the floor.

"I can't just let him get away with this! I won't!", I shouted and my mother grabbed my hand.

"Honey, let the police deal with this. Your job is over.", She mumbled and I sighed.

"How?"

"They have a very convincing lead.", She told me. "Everything they will need, enough evidence to lock him up for the rest of his life, is right there at the station."

I shook my head in defeat as I gave a small nod. A small hand rested on my shoulder.

"This isn't your fight anymore.", Just as she said that my brother turned on the news and there appeared Min Yoongi's face.

"This is BSK news reporting live with the latest news broadcast. It has been reported that the leader of a massive underground crime ring, Min Yoongi, has been apprehended and faces a list of charges including murder, theft, public endangerment, kidnapping, and drug charges. It is still a mystery how the police got such a strong lead to bring this man in but all we know is that they did. The streets are a lot safer now that he has been arrested. 

"He's going down.", my brother commented.

I sighed because I knew they were right. Everything I've done, I've done to protect them. But I wasn't strong enough to protect my father.

As if reading my thoughts my mother smiled as she gave a light squeeze to my hand.

"Your father would be so proud of you right now. He is proud of you. And he wanted you to have this.", she said handing me a small envelop. I ran my finger across the seal to open the letter.

Jungkook,

Words cannot express how proud I am of you and your brother. When you left he and I did our best to protect tour mother and remain hidden so things wouldn't turn out badly. But if you're reading this, my time has run out and you came out on top. I know how bad you want to kill that man, for everything he's done. All the pain and suffering you endured. The pain he's caused to others. I know. But you don't need to anymore. Taehyung came by  some time ago and explained everything. How you followed those vile orders to protect us. How you have a baby on the way. How you still have some good in you. He believed in you, I believed in you. And you proved that your good side is still fighting strong. Now son, I only have 1 wish. Give up this occupation and take care of your daughter. She needs her father and so does Soo Jin. She's a lovely girl, maybe you can settle down and finally live your life.  Both of you please protect your mother. I'll be watcher over all of you from now on. Remember, you don't have to walk alone anymore.

Sincerely Dad

Tears stung my eyes as I held the letter in a shaky hand. I turned to Soo Jin who held out a ultrasound. Grabbing the photo, I gave a small smile as I stared down at her. My unborn daughter. I held out my hand and Soo Jin gently placed her hand in mine.

"My father's wish is too take care of you and the baby. I know this could take some time but I'm asking if we can start over. I regret so much including bringing harm to your father. I didn't think I'd get this far in my life. To start a family. I want to be there for you and her. Watch her grow, send her to school, tell her bedtime stories. 

"Seokjin came to me with autopsy reports. My father had lung cancer. The doctors said that he could die at any moment. It'll take time to forgive you but you put out of his misery. He didn't have to suffer alone anymore. So yes, we can start over."

"Thank you."

"We're all here for you, with dad and Taehyung as well. No matter what you've done, you're still my brother and I look up to you bro.", my brother shrugged before rubbing my head.

"Not so rough, he's already injured.", Mother scolded and Soo Jin giggled.

I never thought I would live this long. Long enough to start my own family. Surrounded by people who care about me. But to see my mother happy, my father proud, and my brother still looking up to me is enough to make me feel like I'm walking on clouds. I turned to place a single soft kiss to Soo Jin's hand and she smiled. It's time for a fresh start and this is where I begin.
