THE JOURNALIST.

The man kept staring at jungkook for few good minutes and finally diverted his eyes. He checked the half-dead man's clothes. He rummaged through his pockets and found a paper, more or less like a note.

The old man didn't read the note instead he put it in his pocket and walked away without even glancing at jungkook.

You saw grandmother coming towards you with a gentle smile.

"How do you feel now?" , Grandmother asked while caressing your hair.

"I feel better." You bluntly lied.

"Good. Taehyung asked me to take care of you. He left for some work so told me to tell you that he might come late today."

Your eyebrows furrowed, "where did he go?"

"He went to see a journalist. Seems like they're digging past issues." Grandma sighed heavily.

Without speaking a word you stood up from your bed. Grandma stopped you from going out. "Where are you suddenly going?" She questioned you, worriedly.

"Maybe it's time to know about my dad and mom's death." , You ignored the shouting of grandma at you.

You straightly walked outside and kept walking. After few minutes you were really tired. Your legs were sore.

You saw a jeep alongside you and taehyung driving it slowly while looking at you. His head bandage covering his forehead. You slowly halted your steps.

"Grandma told you?" You asked without turning to him.

He nodded and chuckled. "You're really brilliant,aren't you?"

You didn't reply him but you know what he meant and smiled inside.

"You don't know, who the journalist is and where his house. So you just walked randomly knowing that grandma will call me and I'll come in search for you so that you could join me. Isn't it?" Taehyung asked you in a sarcastic tone.

You tried to defend yourself, " no I'm actually going to meet the journalist and i know where he lives." You said sternly and started to walk without glancing at him.

Taehyung slowly pressed the accelerator and matched her walking speed.

"Darling , actually the house is in opposite way." You stopped on your tracks and went straight to the jeep and sat silently.

"You won't listen to me,will you?" He asked calmly.

"No" you replied with a shrug.

"Aishh this grandma. Ok I'll take you there but you are not allowed inside." He said knowing that you won't back down when you are determined about something. You nodded and sat inside the jeep.

You were always like this. If you determined something there's no backing down. You are sensitive when someone close says something to you.

You love the people around you so much that you'll ended up getting hurt by them . No matter what , everytime it's same. Like now you felt betrayed by Sara.

But you are mature enough to understand people. This morning you had a lot of thoughts about this.

The reason you forgave taehyung is that day when you are tied up in a chair you saw something in his eyes. Feeling of being lost ...

That's when you decided to wait and forgive. Because if someone close to us hurts sometimes they have a undeniable reason for that.

Eventhough it maybe wrong thing that they have done but their intention may be good towards you.
So you decided to forgive Sara hoping she isn't bad.

The jeep stopped stoping your thoughts.

"I'll be back soon." Taehyung went towards a big house . His arched his brows towards Kai , he didn't expect Kai and Kang cheol outside the house.

When grandma called him. He dropped Kai and Kang cheol outside the journalist's house and went to search for you.

He parked the jeep and hopped down.

"He won't allow us. He is not willing to tell about the past to us." Kang cheol said worriedly.

"I'll try" Kim taehyung knocked the old man's door.

75 year old man opened the door and saw three men standing outside his house looking worried.

"I'm not going to tell you . Unless you're someone affected by it. I won't repeat it . Get out."

The old man glared at them before slamming the door at their face. But he opened it immediately after hearing something.

"My dad died in that incident". All three looked at you. Taehyung sighed and he knows only you can make the old man speak.

"How do I trust you?" The old man eyed you suspiciously.

"Lee sung yoon, Lee ha joon are my parents" you looked at the Old man with hope filled eyes.

Hearing the names the old man immediately invited them inside. His face had unpredictable expressions.

Everyone sat on the couch and the old man started the conversation, " I don't know the real story but i know what people from inside said."

" It's ok tell us whatever you know" Kai desperately asked.

After thinking few minutes the old man took a deep breath and started ,"That year was the worst year. Your mother, Lee ha joon, is my junior. She was a really good journalist. There was a secret mission happened and  Lee ha joon was involved but people says that Lee sung yoon and his brother were involved with terrorists so Lee ha joon betrayed the country by helping them."

Silence filled the room, " Lee sung yoon's friend (jungkook's father) was also involved in this. We don't know what happened exactly but this is all i know"

"Who knows the truth?" Kai asked barely a whisper.

"There is one man. Lee sung yoon's brother . He is currently in prison. I secretly watched him and now he is in our country's prison. "

"Why do you don't want anyone to know about this?" Kang cheol asked .

"Because i know Lee ha joon. She would never do something like that for anything. So i don't want random people to know about it and spreading hatred towards her." The old man sighed.

The newly born hope to truth made them feel alive. They thanked the old man and travelled back silently. They got the information they want.

"Lee sung yoon's brother." Kai said.

"What?" You all looked at him quetioningly.

"He is sara's father. So if he is associated with terrorist maybe Sara also...." He couldn't finish the sentence. He head hung low.

"Both of my parents are said to be associated with terrorist also that doesn't makes me a terrorist." You defended her which made everyone look at you.

"Does she always lived with you?" Kai asked.

"No,after I had an accident she came and started to live with me. Before that i don't know."

Maybe you should've asked her back then itself.

To be continued...
