Chapter 26- Life isn't fair

"That guy with the scar? Yeah,he's kind of a psychopath.Last time we met he tried to touch my-" Jin started talking but the other guy cut off him pretending to be in a great hurry.

" Hyung!Can you please start driving!" He glanced at Jin. Touch his what now? Seokjin just shrugged off and finally decided to drive.

"Ok ok, fine,I'm just saying" he pulled the gear and started driving.

I couldn't erase the incident from my mind that easily. It was making me confused and anxious. Did he hear it or not? I wanted to know it so badly. But he'll surely expose if he knows right? It kept bothering me. I woke up from my thoughts by Hoseok's voice.

"Are you not well? You keep picking your food" he turned at me. As I assumed in the very first, Hoseok wasn't a bad guy, he was kind and generous towards everyone. He was the one who other members went to find comfort. I forced a smile at the man who looked brighter than the sun,

"Ah..No, it's just these things are not familiar to me" I started eating my food since it was already getting cold. I tried to focus on eating.

"You'll get used to it" he reflected his bright smile. I let out a soft sigh and nodded. Namjoon called me as he entered the room with a file in his hand. He flumped in to a chair next to Jimin.

"Yeong Seok-ah, you need to get ready by tomorrow afternoon. Do your best to act like a woman" Yeah sure, it's not like I'm not a girl for real. Sometimes I really want to go back in time and punch myself on face.

"I'll try" I scoffed and continued eating. All the time, I did my best to avoid interacting with Jungkook. But I secretly peered at him from the corner of my eyes. He looked normal, nothing different, like nothing unusual happened today. I hastened and finished my dinner so I could go to my room.

Tomorrow is going to be a long day with so much drama. I can already feel it.

I stretched my body on my bed. It was a rough day. Since morning I kept facing things that I couldn't believe that it's happening. And from all the drama, I couldn't believe that I slapped him like that. But he again saved me, he was mysterious, acting weird.

Did you hear what that man said?

That question was driving me crazy. The whole night I ended up  having all these crazy dreams that made no sense to me.

One dream was about Jungkook.

He was wearing some kind of knight suit  like thing and He cooked me in a huge pot fill with carrots and crabs. And I kept singing a lullaby while getting cooked .

Even in dreams he makes my heart beat fast.

After having a long night with those stupid nightmares, without knowing it was morning. I was rolling on my bed because of the restless night. I couldn't sleep. I finally gave up and woke up to get ready.

Damn, I have to go with him today.

"Here's the script," Namjoon handed me a paper as I joined them in the living room. He looked like a film director today, running here and there to check everything to make sure that it's all going according to the plan. Everyone seemed to be stimulated today.

" What is this a drama?"Snatching the paper from his hand, I took a glance at it. My eyes winded as I read the handwritten note.

"We are a young couple who just got married and we came to this city to keep up our work. I and my husband are part of a community that helps kids with special needs. We hope you'll show your support to us. Kim Namjoon!You  seriously got to be kidding me!" I flickered at him. But Namjoon looked calm, not I like me who was flushing with embarrassment.

"These are the points you have to keep in mind, twist it in your own way" I snorted at his response and glanced at the scribbled words again. Others seemed to be interested in it too. Jimin came and took a look at it over my shoulder. He started laughing loudly after reading it.

"I really wish I could be there to see his face when you say those things" he pointed at Jungkook who was gone all red. I could clearly see the blush he couldn't conceal. His cheeks were gushing red.

"Yah Jimin hyung!How about you go there  instead of me Huh?" He hissed trying to hide his embarrassment. A smirk curved on the other man's plump lips seeing him getting uncomfortable.

"No thanks, Kookie,You are the perfect one for it" he chuckled. Not letting us see the end of it, the blue haired guy joined the conversation.

"I bet You two are going to make an adorable couple" He started to tease as well. This time it was me who turned red. Thinking of going out with that man as a couple made my stomach feel butterflies.

"Tae hyung, not you too" Jungkook frowned his face at him. Both Taehyung and Jimin started laughing at him. Thankfully, Jin came to rescue. He decided to shut them.

"Yah! Stop teasing them or you aren't going to get your dinner today" His threatening words seems to work for them. Not wanting to lose their valuable food, both of them stopped teasing. Instead, they started to whisper to each other and shot glances without getting noticed by Jin. I scratching the table with my nail trying to hide my blush.

"Hoseok will be here with these two. Rest of us will leave early" Namjoon finalized everything, he called everyone after Yoongi  came from outside after checking on the mansion as a spy.  Everyone worked so smoothly and vigilantly.

"Are you sure it's enough? Only them?" Jimin queried about the safety. But Yoongi pointed out the risk of it.

"He'll be suspicious if there will be more of us," He said considering the facts. We had to be cautious about everything.

"It's ok Jimin,Yoongi is right, we don't want him to catch the wind of us" Hoseok gave a light squeeze on Jimin's shoulder making him feel comfortable. The blonde was eager to make everyone get going.

"It's almost time for you to get ready. Taehyung, Yoongi  hyung, you come with me. Jimin and Jin hyung together. Chop Chop...let's move" With his words , everyone dismissed. As they left, Jungkook went to get dressed in his room. I heaved a soft sigh.

"Come on now, let's get dressed up"  Hoseok clapped his hands, gaining my attention towards him.

"What are you going to be? our driver?" I glanced at him before stepping towards my room.

" It's not bad you know" I smiled at myself as I heard his loud reply. He was usually loud when he normally talks but extremely silent when he's up to something serious. He's stealthy and smooth.

After I got back from the shower, I wrapped the towel around my body. The moisture was still remaining fresh on my skin. I scooted towards the closet to take out my dress. Yesterday the guys were instructing me how to wrap bandages around my chest to show it. But believe me, I didn't have to do any of that cause  I already have the - thing. After putting on the dress, I walked infront of the mirror.

Wow, Y/n, you look beautiful,

It was the perfect size for me. Looked exquisite on me. The red colour matched my skin colour as well. Getting bit overwhelmed by my looks, I did a little spin , making the forms of the skit whirl a bit.

"Nice" I smiled to myself. It'll look better if I have long hair. I heard a knock on the bedroom door.

"Yeong Seok-ah! Open up" As I opened the door his decent figure showed up. He was wearing a neat black suit vest upon the long sleeve white T-shirt. His hair was combed to back with gel. The small red bow on his neck collar completed his looks. He stared at me with parted mouth.

"Oh wow, you look like a girl. Really! you look so beautiful in that dress" The man shouted in excitement.

"Shut up Hoseok," Even I said that I felt happy with his complement. But I tried not to smile.

" Why are you here?" I asked him, not wanting him to stare at me like that. He blinked and tried to remember why he came in the first place. I noticed the bag hanging in his hand. As I took a glance at it, he snapped his fingers and remembered what he came for.

" Oh yeah, I thought you'll need these "Hoseok handed me the bag. I opened up and found a make-up box and a black colour wig.

"Where are these from?" I took them out from the bag with a surprise. He awkwardly massaged the back of his neck.

"Before you judge me, first listen to me, I used to work as a detective. I used those to disguise my self" He explained to me. He was a detective? I raised my eyebrows with his explanation.

"You were a detective?" The man hummed whil entering my room. He looked out from the window. Hoseok looked like he had a flashback. He was immersed in his thoughts.

"But how did you end up here?" I was astonished by what he said. Letting out a heavy sigh he turned towards me.

" It's a long story" His words were quiet. He shrugged off and  grabbed the ornaments in my hand. He pulled two chairs, making them in a position of facing each other.

"Come here, let me help you with those, " He motioned me to take a seat. As I sat facing him, He started telling me his story.

"I worked alone, didn't work under an agency. I didn't get many cases to solve since I was going solo. I was just a small guy, but I wanted to be independent. Those days, the mafia was a huge threat to the city, and still it is. People just disappear and the next day we find them dead, it became a normal thing in the city " he kept talking while I silently listened to it. He started applying a light foundation on my face. His handsome face was covered with somewhat pain, his heart was daggered by recalling the past.

" The government or any other agencies couldn't find who was behind everything" he gently brushed the powder brush against my skin. "All I want was to be outstanding in my field. So I decided that it was my chance to become one by catching the mob boss, and believe it or not, I got on the right track" I curiously looked into his face. He was smart enough to track them, but how come he ended up here?

"I was this close to getting them, but it was all ruined, all ruined because of a woman."His jaws clenched together. I stared at him with astound.

"A woman?" he moved my face to the other side to apply the makeup as the same way he did in the left side. He heaved a sigh.

"Because I loved her, I loved her more than my life" I couldn't believe what he was saying.

" Because you loved her?" I repeated his sentence with disbelief.

"It was a trap. They used her to shut me down, but what could  I possibly do? I couldn't let them kill her" Hoseok's face was gloomy. He was hiding lot pain inside that sunshine smile. I felt terrible.

"So what happened?"

"They kept her as a hostage. I tried to save her. I dropped my research and everything. But after everything only I knew she was all part of their plan" He had been cheated. Cheated on love, I gazed at him.

"I'm so sorry Hoseok, " He again let out a soft sigh and looked away.

"I didn't have anywhere to go. I was bankrupt. That's when I decided to join the mafia, I joined the place that ruined my life, I joined the hell to keep living" He glanced at me, "I learned one thing from my experience" His face was filling with the enmity and loathe as he held the grudge of the past that hurt him.

"I learned that life isn't fair at all"

He has a point. Yes, life isn't fair at all.

That's it for today guys

Love you ❣️

Stay gold ✨
