| CHAPTER 59 |
"Y/N, step away from that file already. You're overthinking it," Jackson, seated across from you, observed your visibly anxious state.
Over six hours had elapsed, and your attention remained steadily fixed on the file in front of you.
Your eyes were strained, yet you persisted in reading the document meticulously, jotting down notes as you went. Even your once spacious diary was now running out of pages, but your hand continued to move, inscribing information onto its surface.
Your initial hours were devoted to meticulously verifying the authenticity of the documents, conscious of the potential for any unpleasant surprises. The last thing you needed was a malicious prank throwing you off track at this critical point.
The file recounted a series of incidents, each of which you cross-referenced diligently with the records on the RTI Police website. After successfully matching two or three incidents with the website's data, your confidence in the authenticity of the file grew stronger.
"Enough complaining, let's get typing," you whispered to yourself, your gaze unwaveringly fixed on the screen before you.
Jackson's role was to compile the final papers, preparing them for submission in court. As you roughly drafted notes and verified their accuracy against the online records, Jackson meticulously cited them, readying them for formal presentation during the legal proceedings.
"8:02 Pm" Jackson muttered quietly, you knew he was trying to remind you of the time, since it was almost dinner time.
Listening to him, you dropped your pen, you wanted to work but you couldn't keep Jackson whining like this, besides he was weak too, he needed rest.
Jackson smiled widely when he saw you shutting off that file and closing your diary. He also switched off his laptop.
"Let's go!" Jackson stood up with an enthusiastic Jump.
"Take the car and go home"
"And what about you?"
"Oppa will pick me up" You smirked suggestively and wiggled your eyebrows
Jackson's whole face morphed in a 'o' shape; he understood you wanted to try apologizing to your brother after an unsuccessful attempt this morning.
"Good luck with his icy ass!" Jackson ran out of your office with his laptop bag carelessly hanging in his arms.
You chuckled to yourself and started maintaining the messed-up desk so that you could call it a day too.
When done with the subtle cleaning, you took out your phone and stared at it in daze.
Motivating yourself with tones of unscary motivation, you finally called your brother.
The first 6 rings went empty, but after about 15 minutes .... he picked up
[Brother! >
You greeted him with your wavering excitement
You felt a pinch in the heart when no response came from the other side.
[Can ...you pick me up? ...Jax went early today...>
Out of a sudden, you felt this was a bad idea, you should've approached him in another way.
You were waiting for him to end the call rudely, and that's what he did. without any reply to your request, he ended the call making your heart drop in your stomach
'Is he......that angry with me?'
You lip wavered downside, like a small child who was about to cry
you Never realized how words could hurt a person like this, your brother; who was so sweet from all these months ...his sudden coldness was making you disheartened.
Even if you tried only two times, you were losing hope of making your brother talk to you ever again. At this point Jackson's motivation of 'he'll come around ' seemed useless
'He'll never come around ...... he'll never talk to me-'
*HONK*
You jolted with surprise, almost dropping your phone with sudden car honk.
'He...he came?'
Your eyes glinted with excitement and anticipation again, you knew that car honk very well. Collecting your bag, hoping up on your feet, you literally ran out of your office.
You ran outside your office but halted suddenly when you realized how weird it may seem to see your sister hoping like a bunny in her office.
So, after a little deep breath session, you opened the door .... again, but this time with calmness
"Hyung you're so intelligent that sometime I think I should start worshipping you!"
Jimin had his permanent one-dimpled smile on his face, he was practically blooming with happiness.
Now that his biggest problem had got sorted, he couldn't contain his jumping heart, he wanted to just stand up and smooch over his Hyung's face.
but Hoseok will smack the shit out of him...
"Shut the fuck up" Hoseok mumbled with a visible disgust on his face, like he knew what Jimin was thinking just right now.
"I have sorted this shit, that doesn't mean we are free from our work Park Jimin" Hoseok sat across him with his hand clasped together.
"You have complicated the things more......there is a huge disaster to come...."
The earlier blooming happiness within Jimin subsided a little, he bit his lower lip in guilt.
"It will be good if you don't celebrate this early...." Hoseok Scoffed and slammed the door of that room harshly, leaving an unbothered Jimin behind.
Jimin stood up to follow Hoseok, but Hoseok was pacing around the hall muttering some incoherent sentences.
"What disaster you are talking about Hyung? .... you called Kim Namjoon so that he could protect Y/N ...right?" Jimin tilted his head in confusion as he saw his Hyung cursing under his breath.
"Do you think Kim Namjoon is a fucking superhuman?" Hoseok glared at him, Jimin was...unbothered by his glare ...again
"Taehyung is a mafia King, Jimin ....do you think Namjoon would be able to fight him?"
"Well at least, Namjoon is bigger than Tae-Hyung" Jimin countered, making Hoseok sneer again.
"It's not about strength, it's about power.... Namjoon is a just a workaholic cunning advocate whereas Taehyung .... he is vicious" Hoseok clarified
"Then why did you even call him?" Jimin snapped, crossing his arms around him.
"So that they could ...suffer together..."
The car ride was not what you expected ....
Your previous thoughts of dropping your plan were coming back.
Your brother did come to pick you up but he wasn't talking to you. His hands were on the staring wheel and eyes were concentrated on the road, like he had never seen a busy road earlier.
Your hands were fiddling with themselves, your teeth were messing up with your lower lip.
You never thought one hour drive from your office to your home would be this.... short.
Slowly blinking your eyes, you found the car parked in the compound of your house, with Yoongi silently preparing to leave.
Feeling overwhelmed or .... somewhat frustrated with his ignorance, you followed him when he swiftly got out of the car.
With tears blurring your vision, without thinking of any consequences you hugged him from back, halting him on his steps.
Yoongi's eyes widened in surprise, the keys in his hand dropped on the concrete flooring.
He could clearly hear you sniffing softly, your arms tightened around his waist.
"I Know I have said very wrong that day.... but Oppa, please don't abandon me like that...." You cried holding his waist, your words were choking up your throat.
Hearing your broken voice, Yoongi's heart hammered with pain, he took a deep breath controlling his emotions.... He never thought that his playful ignorance would affect you severely.
"Nobody asks me how my day was other than you or Jackson ...... hell, nobody even called me to ask about my whereabouts ...not even my own mother.... "
"Forget about our father, he's too busy with his business, You and Jackson are the only person who are ready hear me out, and that's what I adore...."
"I-I can't bear this ignorance from the person I adore, Oppa......I'm sorry, so sorry for what I said that day......but please talk to me......"
You broke down in painful cries, breaking your brother's heart ...completely
He lifted his hands to hold your arms around his waist... Before he could turn around you yanked away from him, running away inside the house heretically, wiping your tears.
'He was defiantly freeing himself from my grip......He won't forgive me .... ever...'
In a matter of mere moments, misunderstandings can arise, and their repercussions can be quite significant.
Such was the case when Yoongi's playful intentions took an unintended turn, resulting in him inadvertently causing you more hurt than even a brother ever would.
And that's how life works, you will never know what your words are causing destruction to someone's heart...what your little ignorance, or an angry ramble could do to a fragile heart.
