Yours

chapter nineteen: your past

"He's been doing that all day.", Hyunjin whispered to them.

"It's okay. We know how to stop it. Thank you, Hyunjin.", Jimin said before Hyunjin excused himself to continue his work.

Then, Yoongi and Jimin walked to Jungkook and patted his shoulders to get his attention.

"Hyung!", Jungkook turned around, looking with hopeful eyes at Yoongi.

The elder man raised his hand to ask him to be patient.

"How is it? Did you find anything?", Jungkook asked eagerly.

Yoongi's expressionless face slowly gave a small smile, "I did not, but my friend who's working in China found him."

"Really?", Jungkook almost smiled.

"Yeah, why would I lie to you?", Yoongi replied.

Jimin smiled happily as he saw Jungkook quietly cheered by the news.

"Hyung, your friend is a secret agent, right? That's why it's so hard for you to tell us who he is.", Jimin had been trying to get Yoongi to say who his friend in China was, but he was too good to keep it to himself. "Jungkook, ask him to tell you who he is. You surely want to thank him, right?", and now he tried to get Jungkook into it with him.

"I want to know everything he found about Chaeyoung's ex first.", Jungkook said.

Yoongi smirked at Jimin, "Very well, should we talk here or go somewhere private for this conversation?"

Jungkook looked around before putting his arm over Yoongi's shoulder and dragged him back inside GoldenGrove.

"Yah, you guys will just leave me here?!", Jimin looked at them in disbelief.

"Come along, hyung!", Jungkook just shouted as he disappeared through the door.

Jimin sighed, "I shouldn't have given hyung a ride."

Chaeyoung had been inactive on social media since her hidden past was revealed a week ago. She had been keeping herself quiet as she stayed with Lisa. She only talked when needed and only with Lisa while she kept herself in the guest room, wallowing herself in the sadness of missing her daughter rather than her revealed past.

She did not dare to go into her social media account due to fear of not being able to face the negative responses and just looked back at the photos of her daughter through the media articles online despite how negative they were written about her.

She missed Haneul.

"Where are you, my deary?", she said as she zoomed into Haneul's photo on her phone screen.

As her eyes began to cry once more, the screen changed to a display of incoming call from an unknown number that is located in China. She had received calls from the same number twice but she did not answer them. She believed it belonged to Chanyeol but she did not dare to pick up the call.

"What else does he want from me?"

Chaeyoung was angry with him but she knew she was not strong enough to face him or even talk to him through the phone. She bit her nails as she was nervously thinking of what more Chanyeol wants from her. She knew he just wanted to ruin her life and there was no way for her to be able to meet her daughter anymore. She was hopeless at this point.

"I can't talk to him. I can't...", Chaeyoung shook her head before realizing something. "I could try texting him.", she remembered Chanyeol interacted with her through her social media.

With a deep breath and a bit of courage, Chaeyoung opened her social media account. She was going to text Chanyeol but her notifications were flooded with thousands of comments and reactions from her followers. She could see a lot of negative responses but one name that she always saw changed her perspective on the screen.
