Seokjin and the Heirs of the Korean Miracle - BOOK 1 ✔

Chapter 27 : Jinnie and Joonie

"This time I'm really going to kill you, you psycho!" Namjoon exclaimed. "I warned you though! I should have known that I couldn't leave Jin alone with you for a year!"

"Stop lying," Taehyung replied with a wry smile, "you knew perfectly well what was going to happen after your departure and you have done nothing to stop me from doing what I wanted with him. You may take me for an idiot, but I know that you still have influence in this school and that you could have stopped me. But you didn't, so stop and take a look in a mirror before you judge me for that."

Namjoon and Taehyung were in the hallway of the hospital, in the grip of yet another argument. The eldest had arrived at the hospital during the night as soon as he learned what had happened, not hesitating to flee his high school dorm. Even though visits were forbidden at night and he was a minor on top of that, he had no trouble convincing the staff of the private clinic where Seokjin had been taken to let him join the room where the two youngers were already sleeping.

It was only to preserve Seokjin's rest that he hadn't immediately snatched him from Taehyung's embrace to settle accounts with his little brother and since the single room had only one bed, he had slept on the big plush armchair next to it.

Early the next morning, after the passage of a very discreet nurse who had checked Seokjin's constants, the doctor in charge of ensuring that Seokjin was ready to leave the hospital had come to see him and his presence had not failed to wake up the trio. Taehyung and Seokjin were surprised by Namjoon's presence much more than the doctor's and after jumping up to hug Seokjin and make sure he was okay, Namjoon had dragged his brother down the hall while Seokjin was being auscultated.

He had grown a lot since he started high school and even though Taehyung was not far from catching up with him, Namjoon was now much taller and stronger than him. He had no difficulty pressing his brother against the wall of the deserted hallway.

"You weren't supposed to go this far in your stupid middleschooler revenge!" Namjoon said coldly.

"What are you talking about? I did nothing, Jin had an asthma attack during his football match," Taehyung said.

"Why can't I believe you're a stranger to this?" Namjoon shot back.

"Yet it is! This time, it's not me. He was facing Jungkook, he is responsible if you are looking for someone to hit."

"Jungkook?" Namjoon wondered, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, that bastard has become a little football star as he decided on a whim a short time ago that he wanted to learn how to play. It was his team that faced Jin in the final."

"I bet you knew perfectly that he was Jin's opponent and you jumped at the chance," Namjoon said. "You know very well that he hates losing and that he would do anything to win, even if it means crushing Jin in the process!"

"And it's me you call psychopath?" Taehyung sneered, "Your brain blows you Machiavellian scenarios in half a second, you're scary!"

"And you, you remained the same baby who is afraid to be alone. You must have been so afraid that Jin would leave you to enter Whimoon High School that you tried to sabotage his chances!"

"So you were aware that he had to go to a sports high school and not to Eunma with us?!" Taehyung asked Namjoon aggressively.

"Obviously! Even father knew about it, you were the only one who didn't know about it," his brother replied. "And I understand why Jin didn't want to tell you, I would have done the same in his place. He knew you would try to stop him."

Taehyung looked dagger at him and Namjoon replied with a grin before saying :

"By the way, if you tell me that, it's because he had a favorable response to his application for admission there, right ? He didn't get a chance to tell me. He must be happy."
