Ch.8: Choosing A Path
Jungkook POV
I reached for the sheets that were dangling from the laundry line while the wind blew them slowly.
"Don't forget to put the basket in the hallway!", A voice called out. I turned to see Kim Namjoon. The man who let me hide away at his place. He lives here with his fiance, Eunbyeol. She's sweet and caring. Sometimes I even grow jealous of what they have. My phone ringing brought me out of my thoughts and I frowned when I looked at the number. I hesitated for a few seconds before answering the call with a deep breath. "Hello?"
"Where the fuck have you been? I've tried to get in touch with you for two months shit head! Two months Jungkook!", the person yelled as Eunbyeol came outside.
"Lower your voice Yoongi.", I warned and he got silent before emitting a dark chuckle.
"You better watch who you're talking to boy. I'm not one of your fucking friends. You do what I say when I say it if I'm the one paying you.", He sneered and I scoffed.
"I heard Soo Jin is in the hospital. Why is she still alive?", He began and I opened my mouth to reply. "You're starting to make me regret giving you the job. Maybe I'll have to double the price to get you to think straight. $150,000 is your total." My eyes were wide as saucers when he said that.
"Either you get this done or you're the one who's going to be taken out." With that he hung up and I through my phone in the water as a curse slipped past my lips.
"Jungkook?", Eunbyeol questioned softly and I avoided her gaze as I walked inside. She followed behind me into the living room with a frown sitting on her face.
"Yes?", I asked as I slipped on my shoes. "Who was that?" I refused to answer and she had tears on the brink of falling.
"Who was that!", she screamed and I was taken aback by her sudden outburst. Namjoon came running inside at the sound of her voice before staring at me.
"My boss. He offered me double to finish the job.", I whispered and Namjoon shot me a glare. "And you're gonna take it?"
"I don't have a choice.", I mumbled and he grabbed hold of my shirt.
"You always have a choice. You're a hit man, your boss can't do that much damage.", he told me and I clenched my jaw. "You don't know Yoongi" His face fell before he let me go and backing away. If looks could kill, I'd probably drop dead right here.
"Did he send you here? To spy on us!", he screamed holding me at gunpoint. I held my stance but shook my head quickly.
"NO! He's paying me to kill someone. He doesn't even know that I'm with you two.", I stated and he tilted his head in suspicion. "You think any of us would be here if I knew about you?"
"You're a hit man though right? You could take us out in anytime right?", he questioned and I frowned. "But I wouldn't. I swear."
"I take it you trapped to huh?", he questioned and I narrowed my eyes in his direction. "What is that supposed to mean?"
"I work for him myself. When Eunbyeol was in the hospital I would steal from people. He paid well so I stayed. I tried to leave but when I did, he hurt Eunbyeol so I had no choice. Until she convinced me otherwise. The beach is the perfect place to hide out for a while. Here we are.", he explained as he sat down in a nearby chair.
"Who are you trying to kill?", he asked suddenly and I leaned against the wall. "Lee Soo Jin. The new CEO of Lee Intercorps."
"What did she do?", Eunbyeol asked me and I frowned. I thought back to when Taehyung asked me the same question causing me to bit my lip.
"As far as I know she took the job?", I mumbled avoiding their disappointed gaze.
"And you're really going to take her life because of that? She's just a young girl with her entire life ahead of her!", Eunbyeol shouted with anger.
"That's bullshit Jungkook. That's BULLSHIT! No way you're going to get away with that! I won't allow it.", Namjoon added with a scowl to match my own.
"And just what exactly are you going to do? First Taehyung and now you, why the fuck is everyone protecting her! You don't even know her!", I shouted and Namjoon grabbed my shoulder forcing my back into the wall.
"I know that she doesn't deserve this."
"I didn't deserve this! I had to leave my entire life behind to protect my family but has anyone ever bothered to care about how I felt? No, because I'm just a hit man! So why should I care now!?"
"Because you're nothing but a lap dog. Trying to take the life of someone that's done nothing wrong. Yes you've had it rough but you're putty in Yoongi's hands and that makes things even worse.", he shouted in my face and by this point I was fuming. I pushed him away from me before walking out of the house with a frown. I made my way towards the beach and stared out into the ocean before falling to my knees. Once the first tear got away, the rest followed, creating small streaks down my face. My lungs rummaged for oxygen as I broke down into a sob, letting out everything I've had bottled up for so long. I leaned closer to the ground before letting out a scream with my hands balling up in the sand finally hunching over in defeat.
"What do I do?", I mumbled softly.
