They Were Meant To Be Together | Book 4

785.Missing

Jihoon's place

"But why? This is a really nice chance to make things right with Min, why do you wanna let this golden opportunity go?" Jaehyuk frowned. They had received an invitation from Jeonsan and Zixin to attend the wedding which was being held on some island but Jihoon wanted to turn it down because he didnt want to spoil Min's day by making an appearance.

"She doesn't want to be with me and I have no intention of forcing myself in her life. I just want her to be happy." After talking to her, he ended losing the little hope we had. It made him feel useless and helpless but there was nothing he could do, he could just blame himself for being a jerk.

"You saw her?" When Jihoon did not say anything, Jaehyuk sighed, "Why would you torture yourself like that? And why did you see her so soon? She is very vulnerable right now and her mind is still not stable, you have to give her sometime."

Placing his hand on Jihoon's shoulder, he explained, "You can't expect her to be okay with all that has happened between the two of you. If this is difficult for you then it isn't easy for her as well, you can't just barge in and ask her to get over it."

"But she told me that she doesn't trust me, I lost her trust man and—"

Cutting him off, Jaehyuk snapped, "Then earn it back, prove it to her that you are no more the person who wants to hurt her family. Make her realize that you are the man who only loves her and you don't have any other motive. Don't use words Jihoon, use actions to prove yourself."

Slumping on the couch, Jihoon sighed, "I think that she will never forgive me."

"Why on earth are you being such an ass? How can you give up without trying? Do you not want her anymore?"

"Of course I do, I just—" stopping midway, Jihoon took a deep breath to calm himself down.

"We should never give up on people we love because if you, that was never real love," Jaehyuk added.

....

Jeon Mansion.

In the garden

"What is it Wonwoo? You called me over and now you aren't saying anything," Jeonsan complained, he was helping Jiyun with the packing when Wonwoo barged in saying that he had something important to talk about but now, he was standing right in front of him dumbfounded.

After taking a deep breath, he answered, "I don't know if I am making sense here but something happened back in Sana's apartment and I cannot help but think about it since yesterday."

"What happened?"

Scrunching his brows, he explained, "The man was brutally murdered yesterday and he used to live right across the hall. I know that there is no connection between anything here but I am having this feeling that something isn't right."

"I brought Sana over last night, she will stay with us until the wedding is over," Wonwoo informed.

Patting his shoulder, Jeonsan smiled, "You did the right thing, now stop stressing about it and go start your packing. We have an early flight tomorrow."

After Wonwoo left, he took out his cell phone from his pocket and called someone. "I want you to find out something for me."

.....

Hospital.

Placing her hand on his, Sooji inquired, "What happened? You look so stressed."

Kissing the back of her hand, he sighed, "It's nothing, just thinking about random things."

"What random things? Are you still thinking about the accident?" Cupping his face, she added, "the baby is fine and so am I, you don't have to worry about anything and don't blame yourself for it please."

Tightening his grip around her hand, he sighed and nodded his head. Though he was stressed about the accident as well but right now all he could think about was Jeongin and his future actions. When the police told him that Jeongin was nowhere to be found, he panicked and asked his men to look for him. It had been almost four hours since the search operation had started but there was still no sign of him.

If Nathan would have been alone, all by himself then dealing with a psychopath like Jeongin would have been easy but he wasn't alone, there was Sooji and their unborn child as well. He had to be very careful while making a move because he didn't want his family to get hurt.

....

Hwan's car.

"Come on honey, don't be angry anymore," Hwan chuckled.

With her arms crossed in the front and her cheeks puffed in anger, Somi was staring out of the window completely ignoring him.

"We are flying out tomorrow, so how could we stay? That wouldn't be very convenient right?" he tried to coax her. After collecting Jungkook's parcel, Somi suggested that they should stay there for another night but Hwan politely turned her down which is why she decided to ignore him.

"I don't know, we could have used an excuse but well, you didn't want to stay with me so no point discussing that," she snapped.

Stopping the car midway, he turned towards her and explained, "Even I wanted to stay but we have a flight to catch tomorrow and a wedding to attend, how can you be late for your sister's wedding?"

Grabbing her hand, he added, "Listen, let's go home now and I'll bring you here again after the wedding is over."

Pouting her lips, she asked, "Promise?"

"I promise, we can come back whenever you want to."

"Fine but I am still angry so you'll have to treat me with an ice cream," she demanded.

Hwan chuckled and nodded his head, "Okay, I'll treat you with anything that you want."
