Chapter 96: Slipped through my grasps
Minho stood there holding the envelope in which, he believed had his name written over the top since he couldn't really read it. The pup gazed at the hand of the ominous man and tilted his head to the side while pacing back. “Minho can't leave daddy…”
“Ah, don't you want to go meet that special someone? Don't be a rude pup, Minho. He was nice enough to give you money and in return, he'd like to talk to you… How about this? Talk to him through here.” The man held up his walkie-talkie and continued to try and lure the pup in as Minho shook his head and backed up with the envelope in his hands until he dropped the envelope. The atmosphere around him turned dark and the pup was getting afraid. He knew nothing of this man and who he claimed to be. It was a feeling that came over Minho. Urging him to run back to his bodyguard.
“Minho feels scared…” The pup whispered and paced back until he stopped and the man picked the envelope up and offered it back to the pup.
“You shouldn't be scared! Here's your gift… Hide it. But you'll need to see him soon. He misses you so much. Your father-”
“Father?” Minho asked and his eyes lit up. Believing the man spoke of Jungkook while in reality, he spoke of Sahiro Kyunsji.
“Well… Yes! Your father is here! He wants to see you and he also was the one who sent you that money. He wants to surprise you! I heard… He's going to take you out to buy your outfit for the premiere. Let's go now. He doesn't want your daddy to know too. It's a surprise for him as well!” The man resumed and held out his hand with the envelope as Minho accepted the letter filled with wons inside. The pup took one more glance up at the man and just then, Joo-Ho suddenly ran in and shoved the man back onto the floor. Making Minho swiftly stuff the envelope into his shirt under the jean jacket and under his red sweater.
“WHO ARE YOU?” Shouted Joo-Ho as he gripped his fists shut and glared at the man that tried to lure the pup in. This made a few families nearby scatter away at the ruckus. Unexpectedly, the man pulled a smirk while he was laying on the ground and glancing up at the man. Just then, he turned over and spring up, running off as Joo-Ho followed after. Chasing the sketchy man through the kid cafe until he began to tip things over to slow the bodyguard down. Blood ran through the bodyguard’s body as his gaze pierced at the unknown man up ahead.
Eventually, Joo-Ho tripped over a few wires for an inflatable fort to his right, but that didn't stop him. He was delayed by a few feet and soon that distance grew between him and the monster with a scar over his pale face. “STOP!” Shouted Joo-Ho and just then, the unscented man that blocked his scent to keep his identity sealed, ran out of the building through an emergency exit. Once Joo-Ho pursued, the man was already gone. “Fuck…” Hissed the bodyguard out of breath and had no idea where the man hid so suddenly to make it appear as if he escaped. By there, Jimin began to call the bodyguard through his phone and the man caught his breath before answering. “Y-Ye…Yes?” Joo-Ho answered as Jimin then let out a relieved sigh to hear that the man was okay now.
“Joo-Ho!”
“I-I know.. I was irresponsible! But I stopped him from taking Minho! Is Minho there with you now?”
“Yes he is… please get back quickly. We're leaving now.” Jimin told the alpha through the phone with a hint of worry echoing within the omega's voice. The alpha took one more glance around the alley and walked back inside the building with a few people staring at him from the ruckus that was caused by the man he chased. Sadly, there was no luck in capturing the unidentified man and Joo-ho returned unsuccessful. As soon as the bodyguard returned, Jimin stepped up to the bodyguard while holding Minho tightly in his arms due to how worried he was. “Are you okay? Are you hurt?” Jimin worried as Yoongi folded his arms and scoffed.
“Well he's not dead, but I'll tell you who is, Ju-won! While everyone was panicking, my little boy got a cut and I didn't realize it! Ah, he suck up his pain like me… But I felt it! My young boy… Swag.” Yoongi added and hugged his pup tightly while giving off a worried stare to his young beta son.
“Daddy!” Ju-won giggled as Taehyung began to laugh at how overprotective Yoongi became.
“I'm fine… But he ran off! Minho, what did he tell you?” Joo-Ho asked the pup as Minho failed to keep the envelope a secret. The pup then rolled his red sweater up and took out the letter with his so called ‘name' on it.
“What is this, Minho?” Jimin asked as the pup pointed to the letters he was unfamiliar with. “To my loving son…Sahiro Minho…” Jimin read and almost instantly, he was close to throwing up with the sudden fear racing through him. “Why couldn't you tell me this sooner?!” Jimin questioned the pup as Minho covered his eyes and cupped his face silently. Not wanting his father to get mad at him.
“Scary man said to keep it secret…” Minho whispered in guilt and Jimin only kept the envelope closed and waited to tell Jungkook all about it. “Man said father gave it to Minho and father is waiting for Minho...”
“That shit of an alpha...” Jimin hissed under his breath while Minho had to remain silent through it all to accept the fact that he was wrong for all of this. “Minho, sweetie… Look at me.” Jimin whispered as the pup shook his head and kept his hands over his eyes to sob. Feeling embarrassed he never listened to his father. “How many times did I warn you about strangers? You could have been taken away from me and your father… Do you know how scary it is to think that?” Jimin asked and had his eyes gleaming with tears while he pried the pup's hands from his face. “It's okay… Just… Don't you ever accept what a stranger gives you. If something like that happens again, you have to scream so the other people around you can help! I know your father taught you a good defense and that was to bite whoever steps in front of you to do such a sick thing like that!” Jimin told his pup and still held onto the letter while he hugged his pup in his arms and turned to Joo-Ho.
Of course, the alpha thought he was going to get yelled at, but he received the exact opposite. “Thank you. You did your best… Let's just go back home. It was my mistake coming here.” Jimin said as Minho pouted. Not wanting to leave so soon. But of course, Jimin did this to keep his pup safe. The three soon left the building as Taehyung, Yoongi and Ju-won left to their own house. Leaving Minho to feel more isolated now since he couldn't even go out and enjoy the kid cafe without having someone after his family. It was about this time, Minho knew he shouldn't expect greater things out of a lifestyle of hiding.
Later on the night, Joo-Ho stayed over once again to keep the family safe as Jimin sat in the living room, glaring at the envelope Kyunsji sent an abundant amount of wons for Minho like he was his actual son. “In what world is that idiot living in?!” Jimin hissed to himself in the living room all on his own; waiting for his alpha's arrival to tell him everything. But the more he thought of Jungkook's arrival, made him nervous Jungkook would throw a fit! Meanwhile, Minho sat in his racecar bed with Joo-Ho as the bodyguard turned the page and was reading the story to the pup, but Minho was still upset about him disappointing Jimin just earlier. To Minho, he felt like a disappointment; unaware that Jimin alone was just worried for his pup and was glad Joo-Ho was there to prevent anything else from occurring. Jimin just didn't know what he'd do if Minho was kidnapped by the crazy alpha's helper.
“Hey… Minho, it's okay.. You did the right thing by showing your father the envelope. You just need to be more careful next time.” The alpha said as Minho nodded his head so innocently and held his sippy cup filled with warm milk and sweet honey mixed in it. “You're not in trouble… If it's the wons you wished to keep, I'll give you wons! Just don't accept those… Understand?” Joo-Ho offered. The pup then nodded to lean in closer and snuggled his head against his best friend’s in silence. Feeling a bit more better than before.
“Minho understands… Minho feels sad stranger lied…” The pup whispered as Joo-Ho parted the pup's messy hair from his forehead and smiled right at him to make him feel better. “How can Minho tell if stranger was evil?!” The pup wondered again and then remained calm as soon as Joo-Ho patted him on his head softly.
“You just have to trust your instincts on that one. If you feel uneasy around a suspicious person, you shout and tell an adult. Alright? Let's forget about this. Let's just focus on now and now is this book! If we are held up on the past, how will we ever live for tomorrow?” Joo-Ho told the pup and made a smile before reading along the small story from the book he carried in his hands to put Minho to sleep after. Calming the pup down once more and this alone taught Minho that he shouldn't be held up on the past mistakes, or else, he wouldn't live to see tomorrow. However, it was a nerve-racking wait for Jeon Jimin at the moment since he feared his alpha's arrival.
Jimin sat on the couch downstairs and kept gazing at the envelope, not wanting to pry his eyes off of it. Jimin didn't want to see how much wons it carried, all he wanted was to get rid of it because he could only imagine his own alpha; seconds away from blowing his own fuse. “Oh Jungkookie is going to kill me…” Jimin thought to himself. He tried and tried to think of his alpha keeping calm after this, but all he could imagine was the alpha blowing a fuse and taking away their privilege to leave the house as they please. Pushing them back to feel as if they alone was under house arrest since Jungkook believed this was the only way to protect the ones he loved.
The omega sat there panicking and almost losing his mind until… He heard the sound of the door's locks becoming undone and the house pin being pushed in. Just then, Jungkook stepped in and yawned as soon as he stepped in and met eyes with Jimin. Although, all the omega did was keep his hands folded in silence as he then looked at the envelope filled with wons. Wanting his alpha to see it too. Just then, Jungkook smiled at his omega once he closed the door and just then, he noticed a tear rushing down his husband's eyes, his smile faded once he locked his glare at the envelope sitting on the table; in which, Jimin eyed in fear of telling his alpha about it himself. Feeling as if it'll be better to show Jungkook instead of telling him as soon as he sees him arrive home.
