Chapter 76: Letting Go

You stood silently, staring at Sehun's corpse. You couldn't shake his words from your head.

"My... cousin.... his father... my father.... take him... Seoul private hospital.... he wants to see him..."

"Jungkook?" You wondered aloud. "What does he have to do with...." You trailed off, the dots slowly connecting. 

You began to realise the dreadful reality of the situation. Jungkook was... Sehun's cousin?

Is that what he meant? 

But how is that possible? Jungkook's father - his blood-father - was a Jeon, so he couldn't-

Wait. 

A Jeon. 

Jungkook's father was a Jeon.

If Jungkook's father was a Jeon, and he was Sehun's cousin... it could only mean...

Jungkook's father was Jeon Hyungmin. 

The Jeon Hyungmin. The same Jeon Hyungmin that ruined your life, killed your parents, destroyed Taehyung, and raised the killer of your beloved nanny.

Your eyes widened, tears threatening to fall.

Does that mean Jungkook knew about this all along?

You gripped your hair, shaking your head wildly, in denial.

No, no, no. He couldn't have. Jungkook doesn't even have contact with his blood-father anymore. He hasn't for a long time. 

Jungkook's mother wouldn't have let him know about that, surely. She-

What was her name again?

You didn't even know. But you knew she divorced his father when Jungkook was little.

Yeah, that makes sense, right? Maybe she left him because he was a mafia...

But then she married a drunkard, an abuser. She threw the broken Jeon family back into another mess, equally as bad as before. 

Jungkook's dad... he's related to Sehun... does that mean Sehun is actually Jeon Hyungmin's nephew?

That, also, would make sense. Sehun's surname was Oh, not Jeon. And Jungkook...

Jungkook was Jeon Hyungmin's son, not Sehun.

You took a few deep breaths, deep in thought. You couldn't believe this was actually happening.

Your mind drifted to Jungkook's words, and the things he had told you that day under the willow tree.

 "Eomma regretted leaving appa after the divorce, but then appa was killed suddenly and she had to stay with my step-dad."

Jungkook's father had been 'killed suddenly'. That meant Jungkook didn't know he was alive. Maybe his mother didn't know her ex-husband was still alive, either, or perhaps she did know and just didn't tell him. 

"I m-miss a-appa so much, noona... he was a good man..." 

You closed your eyes, roughly dropping into a sitting position, feeling both defeated and torn. You only had two choices for what you would do next.

You knew what you had to do, though you really didn't want to do it. 

You couldn't be selfish... no, you wouldn't be selfish this time. You wouldn't, not ever again.

You'd had your revenge.

And Jungkook? 

You knew he lived in torment everyday for what he believed he'd done to his family.
