❝I didn't protect you well.❞ Taehyung's tone was full of distress and unwillingness. A pair of sharp eyes fell on the back of Jungkookie's white hand, but it was more like penetrating the back of her hand as if he wanted to slash the man who had shot Jungkookie with a thousand knives.
❝At that time, you went to answer the phone, and it was impossible for you to run to me immediately…❞ Jungkookie couldn't bear to see Taehyung blaming himself.
Taehyung raised his eyes and said slowly, ❝That call was made to cut me off.❞
In fact, when he asked for the second time and there was no response, he realized that he had been tricked, but it was too late.
❝Why? Could it be…❞
Jungkookie was shocked. Could it be that someone was targeting her?
❝But it seems that there are other people who were also shot, don't they?❞
Taehyung's face was a little grave and he shook his head, ❝Those should be covered up. Except for you, the other people who were shot dead, but there is no relationship between the two of you. It can be seen that this is used by the murderer to confuse the line of sight.❞
Jungkookie was puzzled. Taehyung said again, ❝The opponent's marksmanship is accurate. All the people who died were killed with one shot, and when I went back to find you, they also fired a few shots at me, but none of them hit me.❞
Hearing this, Jungkookie seemed to understand that the murderer should be someone who wanted her to die, but not Taehyung.
❝So…❞ Taehyung looked at her seriously, ❝Do you have any enemies?❞
❝Do you think… Could it be Jung Nori?❞ Jungkookie thought for a while and then carefully asked, ❝She the 2nd famous Jung's daughter. She doesn't seem to like me.❞
(First Jung's are Hoseok's family and Second Jung's are Nori's family. They are different from each other and have no blood connections.)
She didn't meet Nori very often, but every time she met Nori, the other party didn't have a good face. Although she didn't need to have a good relationship with Nori, she was treated impolitely every time for no reason. It was hard not to doubt Jung Nori. Besides, judging from Nori's invitation to Taehyung to dance last night, Nori may be interested in Taehyung.
❝I have also suspected her, but I can't rule out the possibility that it's my enemies taking revenge on my family.❞ Taehyung pondered for a few seconds and then said.
Jungkookie nodded.
Taehyung suddenly gripped her hand, stared at her pale face, and said something that seemed to have been prepared for a long time, ❝I made a mountain out of a molehill before. I'm sorry, I won't force you again in the future. Use whatever you want.❞
Jungkookie was stunned, not expecting that he would suddenly and sincerely bow his head.
❝I had already prepared flowers the night of the banquet, and I wanted to go home and tell you about this… Now the flowers have all withered.❞ Taehyung said, and suddenly smiled embarrassedly, ❝There are no flowers today, you… will you forgive me?❞
When seeing Jungkookie covered in blood on the ground, and then tormented for two hours outside the operating room, and after two days of waiting in front of her hospital bed looking at her pale face, and not knowing when she would wake up… After all these experiences, he deeply realized that it was more important to see Jungkookie wake up safely than to struggle with who she favored.
Jungkookie's heart warmed, and she wanted to get up and hug Taehyung, but she couldn't because of the injury in her abdomen, so she beckoned him to come over.
Taehyung leaned forward and Jungkookie placed a kiss on his cheek, which had been haggard because of the last two days, and smiled, ❝Actually, I was going to talk to you that night at the banquet, and I'm not angry anymore. Brother Hobi is my good friend, and I originally wanted to introduce you to each other in the future…❞
After listening to her explanation, Taehyung smiled with relief, and kissed her pale soft lips with his warm thin lips, pouring in his thoughts for many days in the kiss.
Jungkookie closed his eyes and accepted his tenderness.
The frustration from before was washed away.
This marriage was indeed right.
