Chapter 09
Y/n pov.
"Are you jealous, princess?" Hyunjin smirked, making my cheeks become crimson red.
"Of course not!" I replied a little too quickly, suddenly becoming very interested in my fingers.
"Sureeee." Hyunjin shrugged, the smirk still present on his face.
"Your turn to ask a question." I said, trying to break the awkward moment.
"Don't mind me asking, but how did your parents and sister get killed? I mean, I know that they were killed by a mafia organization, but how? I thought they have the crazy security and all that?" Hyunjin asked. I gulped— that was the last question I wanted to answer.
Hyunjin pov.
"When I was ten years old, my Eomma got killed in a car crash. Then my Appa was killed by the driver of a car using a gun. The funny thing is, the driver that crashed into my mother was the same one who used the gun to kill my father. I knew it was not an accident but Chaeyoung kept insisting that it is one. I was not sure of how Chaeyoung was killed as I was locked in my room for safety reasons. All I knew was someone launched an attack on us." Y/n explained slowly.
"Have you checked the security cameras? And all the files about the attack?"
"No, Jennie and Jisoo would never tell me the password to access the cameras and the files are locked away. They said I have to figure it out by myself from the clues my parents and Chaeyoung left for me. However, I still can't figure out anything at all. All the clues always lead me to a dead end." She sighed.
“I’m sorry, Y/n.” I whispered as I hesitantly pulled her into a comforting hug. She stiffened when I touched her but soon relaxed and rested her head on my shoulder. “What’s your father’s name?” I asked.
”Why?”
“Just curious. There might be some resources related to him here.” I said.
“His name is Park Jinhoon.” She mumbled. Park Jihoon? Why does that name sound so familiar?
Y/n pov.
”Do you know him or something?” I asked Hyunjin who furrowed his eyebrows upon hearing my father’s name.
“I don’t think so, but that name sounds so familiar.” He replied as he placed his chin on my head. ”Maybe we can search around the Jyp building.” He suggested as I hummed in reply.
“Hey the two of you, time to go for the party-“ Yeji froze on the spot with eyes that are almost bulging out of her sockets. She stared at me and Hyunjin, with her mouth hung agape. I *ed myself out from Hyunjin’s arms with a flushed face as I let out a nervous chuckle. I noticed Hyunjin biting his bottom lip, trying not to laugh at his sister’s reaction.
“What did you say just now, Yeji?” I asked the cat-like girl with a half-smile.
Yeji blinked a few times before answering, “Oh, I was just here to remind you guys that the party is starting soon and we should probably head to the club now. Looks like I came in at the wrong timing, sorry…”
Hyunjin cleared his throat before saying, “Why not let’s head over to the club now?”
“Yup, sure. Chan Oppa ask me to tell you to go there in ten minutes. They need help with the customers. Jyp invited loads of people today.” Yeji continued. Hyunjin nodded his head before jogging away. “C’mon Y/n, the other four of my members are waiting for us downstairs.” Yeji smiled. “And you have some explaining to do.” Yeji whispered cheekily, making me roll my eyes.
Hyunjin pov.
“Your idea is absurd, Felix!” I yelled to Felix over the loud music.
“Then what are you going to do then?” For the past ten minutes, Felix kept bringing up the fact that Wonyoung would be coming later and in order to “escape” from her, I should make her jealous using Y/n so that she would leave me alone. But…
“Lix-ah, this is too cruel to Wonyoung, she is literally like my best friend-“ I started, only to get cut off again by Felix.
“So what? You either do this, or you would have a high chance of ending up with her and making her think that you might like her. You know Wonyoung has that really child-like behavior that is that kind of ‘Mine is mine, yours is mine, everything is mine’ kind of thing. I doubt she would easily give up on you, you know? So, the best way to do that is to break her heart. Plus, using Y/n is the best choice here.” Felix replied, making me groan in frustration. Why are maknae’s so ridiculous yet logical at the same time? Speaking of makenaes…
”Where is Innie and Seungmin? I don’t see them anywhere.” I asked Felix.
“Well…” Felix dragged the word out slowly as he threw me a sheepish smile, pointing towards the bar. My eyes widened slightly. Oh *. Chan is gonna kill me, he specifically told me not to let the younger ones drink anything alcoholic.
“They are drinking?!? Yah LeE FeLiX why didn’t you tell me! You love watching me get into trouble, don’t you!”
Yeji pov.
“Wowww, so she is faking her personality?” Y/n quirked an eyebrow. The five of us nodded. We decided not to tell her about our mini discovery until it was confirmed, except for the fact that Wonyoung is trying to get Hyunjin’s attention using aegyo.
“Hilarious, right? We even recorded everything so we can use it as a proof in the future!” Yuna pumped her fist in the air excitedly, making several people turn their heads towards us. I glared at her lightly and she threw me an apologetic smile.
“Are you gonna tell your brother, Yeji?” Y/n asked me. Well, I could tell she was jealous when she saw Wonyoung kissing Hyunjin during the meeting just now. Looks like she can’t wait to get rid of Wonyoung hahaha. I made a mental note about this to tease her in the future.
“Not yet! She has done so many shady things, and we are thinking of exposing her in front of everyone once we get ALL the evidences.” Ryujin answered for me.
“Do you want to help us?” I asked Y/n. Y/n just hummed in reply as she took a sip of her drink, wincing at the taste.
“Seems like you have never drank anything alcoholic before, right?” Lia laughed as she passed Y/n a cup of water to wash away the taste.
“Well, I thought that was fruit punch! Who knew it would be wine? The colour looks so similar.” Y/n whined. I chuckled lightly at her cuteness.
“Y/n, do you want to help Hyunjin with something later?” Chaeryeong leaned closer to her.
“What thing?”
“Escape from Wonyoung.” Chaeryeong clicked her tongue.
”You’ve got to be kidding me.”
”Gurl, I’m not joking.”
“Wait seriously?” Y/n burst into giggles.
“Yup, we’ll tell you what’s gonna happen, come here.” I said gesturing the five of them to form a small circle.
