39. My Potato
"I wish I could stop the time,
To deeply feel the moments with you."
----
[A/N POV]
"Hang on. What's his purpose of being around you ? More specifically helping you in this case?!" He asked trying to connect the dots.
"I'm still trying to get an answer to this question- Why? Just why is he helping us? More of which, I think he's just following orders because he's most of the time talking to someone on his phone and I guess he's getting orders from JK." She said remembering the times she observed his actions more closely.
"And how did he get into a tightly secured office of Hangang?" Yoora asked.
"That's what I'm wondering." She said puzzled.
"Y/N see, whatever he's trying to do, stay away from him!" Brother shouted pleading to her.
"Oppa, try to understand, if we catch him and take him for testimonials you know right how much of an important witness he can be? We can put JK behind the bars forever!" She said trying to convince her brother.
"Hyung, she's right. If he really is Poison, we've caught a huge fish on the hook." Jin Young sounded dead serious when he said this.
"You too Jin Young? Y/N what if something happens to you huh? Jungkook say something to this thick headed girl!" He said annoyed.
"Hyung, if she's working so hard on it, let it be like that. Y/N if you want to do it, go I won't be a barrier in your goals." He said sincerely though he himself was feeling concerned for her.
But he knew, he has seen the passion of the job and serving the society in her actions, that's why he didn't wanted to bind her anymore. More of which, he knew she won't listen even if he tried to stop her.
"Oppa, Y/N isn't a weak girl. If she's letting him be around her, she must be having a plan. Believe in her." Yoora said trying to convince Han Seok who was shivered by the shocking revelations he just heard.
With the saddest expressions which were truly heartwrenching to see, he finally agreed.
"Fine. But promise me one thing, you won't get hurt, please." He said tears almost spilling out of his eyes.
"Oppa, don't worry your Y/N strong right? And if anything happens, I have so many good people on my side to protect me right?" She said with a painful smile.
"Yeah, hyung don't get stressed. We'll be there with her. You can always twist her ears if she does something dangerous." Jungkook said playfully making brother smile a little, finally.
"So, Y/N don't you think he has all information about you and he too pretty much knows about your personal life?" Jin Young said stating facts.
"No. Even if he wants he won't be able to get access to her information at any rate." Jungkook said confidentlly, making all the heads turn.
"And how is that?" Yoora enquired.
"I made sure to make her as anonymous as possible so crazy fans won't stalk her if by any chance she gains attention because of me. Every little data and stats related to her background, family, education, even her income is bounded by extremely secure firewalls." He said sounding professional.
"You must be having knowledge of skilled people. Being a hacker by profession, it's rare to see this happening, feels like a drama. Pretty much impressive of you." Yoora clapped impressed by his actions.
Jin Young observed them keenly.
"I need you guys to help me in this case. I bet we'll get some lead to JK." Y/N said determined.
"We'll be in contact with each other and one more thing. Y/N we have got fresh information that JK has that sword." Jin Young said making her confused.
"What sword?" She asked perplexed.
"You don't know? The sword of Queen
Hwang In Ha !" Yoora asked.
"No? What is that?" Y/N and Jungkook glanced at each other puzzled.
[A/N: The history part is an imagination, it has nothing to do with reality.]
" The sword of the first and last Queen Of Joseon Dynasty- Hwang In Ha, which was stolen nine years ago?! It's value is priceless! He really has that?!" Han Seok asked astonished with curiousity in his voice.
Being the journalist he was, of course he knew about any important news and this was one of them.
They both made an O shape with their mouths listening to history. Afterall, if one thing was common in Jungkook and Y/N, it was their disinterest in history.
"It was stolen nine years ago! Don't you think, he would've sold it already?" She said trying to understand the scenario as it just didn't made sense till now and Jungkook nodded in agreement with her.
"No. He hasn't till now, that's the information we got. Think Y/N, why's he feared so much? Because not only he has extreme power and wealth but this sword, this sword is the valuable resource he's having. If he sells it, what's the thing to flex about?" Jin Young said stating his theory.
It was still blurred that he even have this sword till now or not. Nevertheless, their main aim was arresting him at all costs.
"Fine. I believe what you say. So, in conclusion, if we catch JK it would not only be the end of Black Bullet but also we'll put our hands on that sword, which is a national treasure. Right?" She said making things clear.
"Yeah. Y/N from now on we'll always be in contact and we'll help you in this case. This is not only a celebrity case, this is involving criminals and in all ways and every angle, we have the right to interfere." Jin Young said with confidence.
"I agree." Y/N said.
"I'll keep this case very confidential to not attract much attention. The less people the better." Jin Young said confidentlly.
"I'll help you in keeping it a secret Mission. I'm in the media and I'm certainly on a good position to stop any sort of news from spreading." Han Seok finally joined the gang and this was his way of showing thumbs up.
"We count on you in this oppa. Thankyou." Y/N said cheekily.
They all exchanged their contacts to immediately call if some situation happens.
After sometime and rounds of discussions Han Seok tried to put a halt on these scary topics.
"Guys, I think this is enough dose of revelations and your work stuff and all. Let's eat something." Han Seok said in an attempt to change the mysterious issue.
More of which, he wanted to distract himself as he still can't agree fully to let her be in this trap. Though he agreed to help but still he was scared to lose Y/N.
Finally they had a peaceful snack time in which the dorks sure knew how to make everyone laugh and Y/N noticed Jungkook was slowly blending into these people, which relieved her as she thought he'll not like them.
Turned out they'll make good friends with him too. The food didn't go unnoticed by them and it sure received compliments for it's delicious taste and her cooking skills which miraculously improved in such a short span of time.
After their small family time, being the gentleman Jungkook is, he made sure to help in washing the dishes with brother while Y/N saw Yoora and Jin Young out, as they had to go for work.
(OUTSIDE)
"Y/N I'm really impressed by him. He sure has huge influence and power to the point he can literally make your identity anonymous." Yoora said admiring Jungkook.
"Why? Is it that tough?" She asked curiously.
"Girl, I'm a professional hacker and even for us it is a real deal to make personal information this private.! I knew Jungkook is a powerful person, but damn! He's so fine!" She chirped.
"Yah! Enough of complimenting him. I'm your friend!" She said with jealously.
"Okay fine Mrs. Jeon." Jin Young said making her blush again.
"You see her face Yoora! Ahh! This feels so new! Isn't it rare to see her flustered? She looks like a small baby! Let me click a picture." He teased.
"You want to die? Go before I make you unable to become a dad." She said mocking him playfully.
"Y/N don't trust anyone in your work place. I'm afraid they're betraying you" Jin Young said warning her and she nodded.
⚠️ Warning: Smoking is injurious to health.
They went away and Y/N waved them a goodbye. She walked towards the small patio near the grass area and took out her ciggerate and lighten it up. It has become her habit to puff a ciggerate whenever she was stressed. She didn't knew when this became a deadly addiction which ofcourse could take her life.
(MEANWHILE)
"Jungkook can we talk?" Han Seok asked him.
"Yes Hyung. What is it?"
" This is for you. Hope you like it." He gifted him the camera which made him cheered up like a child receiving gifts from his dad on Christmas.
He smiled ear to ear seeing that camera but soon his smile dropped as he realised it isn't manners to recieve expensive gifts.
"Why? It's costly I can't-"
" It's an order. Keep it with you. I know you like it." He smiled looking at the cheerful, muscular kid in front of him.
" Hyung, I don't deserve this you know that. What I did was wrong and I certainly can't be forgiven, can I?" Bunny asked getting emotional.
"Honestly, I was angry for sometime but you know what? Everyone does mistakes and it's the responsibility of elders to forgive younger ones for their mistakes. I see how much guilt you're suffering from and I also know you'll make my potato happier." He said while patting his shoulder.
"Potato?! You too?!" Bunny asked sheepishly.
He nodded whilst smiling assuring him he's not angry with him anymore.
"Also, Y/N is not the type open up about herself in front of others even if it's you. She'll try to appear strong and powerful and she probably would never let you know what she's feeling inside.
You know, there was a time my sister was really innocent. I couldn't imagine her turning out to be like this at that time, but turns out situations and hardships made her what she is like today." Han Seok said being nostalgic with a bitter smile.
This world is such a cruel place. It won't let you live peacefully and it won't let you die peacefully too. If you go out , it objects you for roaming around and being a bad influence even and if you stay in, it says you're a coward.
Looks like, being someone with great power and wealth is the only way to survive this harsh reality.
Unfortunately, no matter how much we deny but the reality slaps in our faces saying:
Money is strength and strength is survival.
" I'm sorry I didn't knew." He apologized unable to think of words and for not being able to comprehend what she was going through.
Han Seok went inside the room and brought something. Jungkook keenly observed what he doing without asking anything.
" Take these. They might help you understand her a little. The newest that is the sixth one, would be with her. " He said giving him five thick diaries all of the same colour and pattern.
He crouched his brows in confusion wondering what was in those diaries.
"She started writing these in her post teens and after that this became her habit. She writes in her diary everyday.
I know it's wrong to invade in someone's personal space, but this is the only way you get to know about her. If you ask her, she won't tell you anything fearing you might get worried because of her and so take these with you." He said remembering the conversation with her before this, when she told him about their relationship.
"Amongst following her goals she got influenced, abused, rejected by so many people that she has started to believe that she always has to be alone. You know she unknowingly developed many habits. See for yourself." He pointed towards the small figure of Y/N smoking from the glass pane.
"Is she?" Jungkook asked trying to understand what he meant, widening his eyes.
"Yeah she is smoking. It has become an addiction for her. I tried to stop her so many times but she won't listen.
You know, I've never seen her getting flustered this much, have it not being with you . I was surprised today. Please, don't leave her. She needs you." He said pressing his shoulder a bit urging him to protect his sister.
"I won't. The potato is my responsibility now." Jungkook said sincerely.
"Looks like Y/N is not the only one in love." Han Seok whispered in a feeble voice, after he went away.
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
I love it so much when Y/N is called "potato". So cute~ 🥺
Happy pill dose
