| CHAPTER 74 |

His old eyes watched the most heart shattering thing for a father to experience, to see your child in immense pain. He clenched his fist tightly and bit his lips to conceal his inner storm which was threatening to spill out. 

Kim Soo-Hyuk never bowed in front of the bad times, always faced everything with his pleasant smile. He calls it destiny

destiny, when his wife died 

destiny, when his youngest son did the biggest blunder to be considered  

destiny, when his family was attacked by his own brother

But this part of destiny was not accepted to him, being the youngest Namjoon was always his first priority as sad it sounds. Namjoon didn't even start remembering his mother's face when she died. 

A tear silently yet containing the depth of emotions slipped from his eye, he sniffed and opened his mouth to take a deep breath when a soothing hand patted his shoulder. 

He turned and saw his second strongest pillar after his wife, his first son. Seokjin stood them with guilt in his eyes. He immediately dived for a hug from his father which was absolutely essential at that time. 

"Jin...he is in so much pain" his father cried on his elder son's chest, he was unaware of the whole fiasco until he got the call from Seokjin that Namjoon and Y/N were admitted in the hospital. 

For a person in a fragile age like Kim Soo-Hyuk, he went numb for minutes but woke up when Seokjin called for him urgently. Don't label him as an irresponsible father who slept through the night peacefully when his son was kidnapped, he was kept unaware  by Seokjin for a reason. 

but when the situation got out of limits like a child who cried on his mother's lap Seokjin finally called for his father informing him about Namjoon's condition being serious.

Same happened on the other side, Mr. Min also received a call from Yoongi informing him that his daughter was found but now was in a serious condition. at least he knew his daughter was kidnapped but still his feet worked faster than his mind he immediately ran out of the villa with Jackson following him closely. 

It was like their world suddenly lost its color, the two fathers sat with their heaviest hearts, their children were in pain and it was gauging their hearts outs. 

few hours later, their agony subsided when they heard the doctor's words  

"They are fine just sleeping with medication...."  The doctor patted Yoongi's shoulder and smiled encouragingly

A huge sigh of relief left from his mouth, he covered his face with his palms and sniffed lightly, "Thank you...." he whispered silently to the doctor, the doctor just smiled but gasped loudly when he was tackled in a hug.

"Thank you!!" Jungkook cried on his chest and hugged the doctor with his life, "Thank you so much!"

Seokjin on the other side sat on the metal chair with a thud, he clutched his mouth to conceal his sob which was a difficult time for a minute. The brave calm facade of Kim Seokjin finally crumbled down, he cried to let it go.

Yoongi sat beside him and rubbed his back soothing him but, Seokjin cried even more covering his face.

Exhaustion and fatigue from not having enough sleep was visible on their faces, light purple sleep bags were straining their skin but they could care less about their condition at this point.

It was the time of sunrise, sunrise of Tuesday morning, the weirdest night of their life was finally coming to an end and fortunately it was coming with a good end. 

They still can't believe how they did it, how they ended up saving themselves and their siblings out of a monster's den. It was happened in a blur, literally 

"When can we take them back?"

collective voices echoed in the sanitized floors of the hospitals, Yoongi looked up and found the poor doctor being cornered with their fathers. they were ready to pound over him. 

"O-One two weeks?" The doctor shouted clearly intimidated. Mr. Kim nodded while Mr. Min cleared his throat before speaking "Is there any serious that we should be worried about." a hint of concern underlying his tone. The doctor shook his head rapidly. 

The doctor quickly went away when they gave him the way. 

"Dad" Yoongi called his father, He looked at his son and smiled sadly, " what are thinking" Yoongi calmly stated 

The moment his father entered the hospital and saw his daughter's condition, he knew what he had to do, the thing he should've done way earlier. 

"WHERE IS THE FILE, TAEHYUNG?!"

His father's voice echoed through the room; his jaw clenched tight as he looked up at the disheveled figure of Taehyung. Taehyung laid there, beaten and broken, a neck support holding his head steady, with IV drips running into his hand. but his condition went blind in the eyes of a father who was very much concerned for that damn file. 

Taehyung sighed tired and closed his eyes, in an attempt to hide his sorrow of loss, the loss of a father. which was never ever present in his life. 

"You told me to fucking sit back and relax, you assured me you will get that file!"

"When I thought my son would never fail me but look what I came across to- THE GREAT MAFIA LAYING IN HIS BED WITH A BROKEN NECK!"

"NOW TELL WHAT ARE WE GOING TO-" his father continued his rambling completely pissing off the certain someone

"Shut up" 

"What-"

"Get out." Taehyung's arm covered his eyes, his jaw clenched in frustration. He rudely dismissed his father; he couldn't bear to be in his presence any longer. He didn't need a human alarm system to remind him of his failure.

'When will I be your first priority dad....' 

It was painful to watch his ruthless boss dying in sorrow like this, his assistant Han almost felt pity for him. but a devil is always a devil. 

"HAN!!"

"Find out how did they escape"

"Dad, this is completely unethical!" Yoongi's voice crackled with fury as he glared at his father, who remained unperturbed, engrossed in signing some documents.

"You can't make decisions for her! She's a grown-up, for God's sake..." Yoongi's words came out through gritted teeth, but they fell on deaf ears.

"She's an adult, but she's still my daughter," his father retorted, his gaze piercing through Yoongi's skull, leaving him momentarily speechless.

"I've already compromised her safety by sending her here alone."

"So, I'm useless then? Can't even take care of my own sister!" Yoongi's voice echoed in the empty hallway of hospital, filled with frustration and resentment. 

"I never said that," his father retorted, his frustration matching Yoongi's as he clenched his fists in his pockets. Yoongi met his gaze head-on, his eyes burning with intensity.

"Min Yoongi, no matter how tough it is to present yourself to the world, remember, I am still your father. I know how to protect my children," his father's voice was firm, carrying the weight of authority.

"So, you better keep that young mouth of yours shut and start packing your bags because I no longer trust Seoul," he declared, his tone leaving no room for argument.

As strange as it sounded, a faint smile threatened to break across Yoongi's lips. After months of bearing overwhelming responsibilities, he felt a wave of relief knowing that there was still someone who saw him as a child, someone who believed he was too young to shoulder the burden of being an older brother and all the accompanying responsibilities.

He became the older brother when he was just four, an age when a child learns how to color. But that doesn't mean he won't take the stand for his sister. 

"Y/N spent 11 months on this case, don't you think this way of protecting her is flooding her hard work? " His question made his father halt on his steps. 

"A Little break from this case won't hurt right?" 

"And how are you so sure that you can make her leave her case in the middle?" Yoongi countered, his curiousness or say interrogation only increased the frustration of his father.

"That's where you underestimate me son, I have links too...." his father walked away without looking back, preparing for his kid's departure from Seoul. 

"They're taking her away," Jungkook murmured softly, seated beside Seokjin who was keeping watch over his unconscious brother, connected to IV drips.

Seokjin remained silent, his fingers lightly tracing over Namjoon's knuckles before tenderly kissing them. He let out a weary sigh and glanced to his side, noticing Jungkook's sorrowful gaze fixed on Namjoon, mirroring the anguish of any concerned family member.

Seokjin couldn't fathom how this young student had become entangled in such a mess. What had Namjoon and Y/N done to evoke such loyalty from this boy, who was now willing to sacrifice everything for them?

Not once had Jungkook behaved like an outsider. It was as if he belonged to their family more than anyone else. He had been ready to storm into that building alone to rescue them, the first to offer his unwavering support.

As curious as Seokjin was, he knew it wasn't his place to question Jungkook's motives. Jungkook was crucial because Namjoon held him in high regard, and Seokjin was certain the feeling was mutual.

"Are we just going to sit here like this?" Jungkook began, concerned lacing his tone. "What about the case? If Y/N Nonna is taken away, what will happen to the consequences?"

"Everyone needs a break, kid," Seokjin interjected gently. "After what they've been through, I doubt their mental state will allow them to even stand in a courtroom."

"But law doesn't work like that Sir, if an advocate wants a leave in a middle of a case it needs some procedures" Jungkook stated

"Didn't you recognize who is Min's father?" Seokjin casually questioned him, Jungkook frowned but nothing came to his memory about Min Y/N's father.

Jungkook slowly shook his head making Seokjin sigh again, he lifted himself a little and took out his phone. handling him his phone Seokjin muttered "Search up Min Sung-Mo" 

"Come on sir don't play with me right now, who doesn't know Min Sung-Mo the governor of Daegu?" Jungkook exclaimed, Seokjin smiled lightly his excitement only increasing. 

"Now search up Min Sung-Mo's older brother" 

"Why?" 

"Just do it..." Seokjin had his eyes closed while his ears were ready for the loud scream. A few minutes passed down in the room. Only Namjoon's peaceful breathing and machinery beeping was heard. 

Jungkook let out a shocked gasp

"U-Uncle Min?" his hands trembled as he saw the photo which was currently opened up in the browser. 

"Do you still think the Neice of governor of Daegu will require procedures?" Seokjin smirked looking at the pale figure of Jungkook. 

Jungkook never anticipated Min Y/N had such an influential family, upon researching further he came across Your father was never really interested in politics that's why opted for business to run down. 

This was around twenty-five years ago, when the elder son of Min's dropped down his title of the heir of political empire, he never stepped into politics and always remained undercover for obvious reasons. 

nearly three decades is a huge time span for a country to forget what the eldest son of Min looked like. Not even Min Yoongi knew who is father actually was. 

Due to the once in a blue moon family gathering, Min Yoong and Min Y/N were not in great touch with their father's side family, but their relationship was not strained. They knew their uncles adored them. 

"Interesting..." Jungkook mumbled his fingers worked a mile on Seokjin's phone, Seokjin glanced at Jungkook before snatching his phone away. 

"You know what's more interesting .... How did you find Namjoon and Y/N all alone...? " Seokjin suddenly dropped his casual tone changing it too cold. 

He had his suspicions, and it was valid at some point. 

They had all entered the building together, equally disoriented. As expected, the bodyguards and security system had reacted swiftly to the perceived threat. Were they attempting to negotiate? It was then that Min Yoongi had struck one of the security personnel with a fire extinguisher, sparking chaos.

They were surviving , the chaos multiplied more when the whole building suddenly blacked out. The lighting system of the headquarters suddenly blasted making the whole building a portal of darkness. 

In the midst of the chaos, they hadn't noticed when Jungkook slipped away from them. When the chaos subsided, Seokjin and the others witnessed Jeon Jungkook emerging alone, supporting Namjoon and Y/N in his arms.

A miracle?

Seokjin doesn't believe in them. Since that moment, he had harbored suspicions about Jungkook. How could a newcomer navigate through a darkened building and locate the area where prisoners were held with such precision?

He watched Jungkook biting his lips in deep thought 

"Sir Kim..." Jungkook hesitated before taking a deep breath, "It may sound ridiculous but I was dragged to that basement..."

"Dragged?" Seokjin's face twisted with confusion 

"When the lights went out, like everyone else I panicked too...."  

My pupils dilated to look closely in the dark, suddenly I was pushed away from you guys with force. My knees trembled and I fell down on the floor, busting my knee. 

I gasped lightly, my heart was palpitating 

"Get up" 

Then I heard that voice, the voice of the man who dragged me to the basement. 

"Get up, Jeon Jungkook you don't have time left" strangely he knew my name too, goosebumps sprawled over my skin, I was unable to utter anything.

"W-Wha-" I scooted away from him; he was huge compared to my fallen figure. 

I heard a frustrated groan when a hand urgently clasped around my forearm and I was made stand. that man didn't wait for me to take a breath just started dragging me to .... somewhere...

I struggled but stopped when he said "I am here to help, don't panic Jeon" 

"Then?" Seokjin looked dead in his eyes, making Jungkook sigh 

"Then what? I was dragged" Jungkook sighed tiredly, making Seokjin frown more

"Did he say anything else?" He questioned 

"Don't forget to make a mind-blowing dialogue before saving them" 

"Then he left..." Jungkook smiled and clasped his hands together

 'I knew this kid was weird' Seokjin thought and stood up massaging his forehead 

"Sounds like a movie" He muttered and observed Jungkook more closely for any traces of lie, but Jungkook just smiled innocently.

"Do you at least remember how did he look?" he questioned again, Jungkook thought for a moment before shaking his head negative, "It was very dark, I only saw his side profile and that too in a little to no light." Jungkook stood up too, he pressed his pants and bowed in front of Namjoon respectfully wishing him speedy recovery. 

 "But yeah, one thing I can say....." he continued 

"What?" Seokjin spoke when Jungkook was making an attempt to create suspense.

"He had a sharp jawline"
