Chapter -44
Namjoon's past
"This is your dad,Kim Nam Beak and this is your mom,Kim Yu Na," Namjoon's grandfather said showing Namjoon a picture of a wedding.
Namjoon looked at the picture carefully. The man looked in his early thirties. The man had same eyes and hair as Namjoon. The man was wearing a white suit with white tie and had a big smile.
The woman beside the man looked as happy as the man. She looked a bit taner than the man and her smile looked same as Namjoon's. Namjoon saw the dimple on her right cheek.
Namjoon smiled sadly tracing the picture with his hands.
"Mom, dad," Namjoon called slowly.
"Namjoon -ah, it's okay," Namjoon's grandfather consoled the sad Namjoon.
"Grandpa, what happened to my parents?" Namjoon asked.
"Your mom had a heart problem from her birth. Your dad and mom went to many doctors to find the cure but she couldn't survive the open heart surgery. She wanted to have a kid before doing the surgery. She wanted to leave behind someone for your dad," Namjoon's grandfather said sighing," she was a great girl. She was a detective."
"Detective?" But my dad was the leader of mafia," Namjoon asked.
Namjoon's grandfather laughed at Namjoon's cute confused reaction.
"Your mom was obsessed with your dad. She tried her best to trap your dad and take him to the court. But after spending time with your dad,she fall in love with him. Your mom chased your dad for two years then finally your coward dad said yes," Namjoon's grandfather explained,
"They got married right after because of your mom's poor health."
"Then?" Namjoon asked.
"After giving birth to you,your mom's heart became more unstable so we did the the surgery but your mom passed away only after two months. You were only six months old then," Namjoon's grandfather said.
"What happened to my dad?" Namjoon asked.
"When you became two,your dad also passed away," Namjoon's grandfather said.
"What that has to do with my uncle?" Namjoon asked. It felt odd to call Taehyung's father his uncle.
"Namjoon -ah,Nam Jung will always be your father. They have raised you so never disrespect them,ok," Namjoon's grandfather said.
Namjoon nodded.
"Taehyung's mother was pregnant with Taehyung that time. Taehyung's mother went outside to meet some of her friends,she was attached,your dad went their to save her. He was shot to save Taehyung's mother," Namjoon's grandfather said.
The old man could still remember the day when his son was brought in a coffin.
"Taehyung's mother felt guilty about it so she wanted to adopt you. You're only two years old then. I wanted to take care of you but they begged me and I thought it'd be good for you to grow up with a complete family," Namjoon's grandfather said.
He thought it was a good idea. But after Taehyung's birth,they never took good care of Namjoon.
"Namjoon -ah, grandpa is sorry," the old man said.
"No, grandpa. It's alright. I wish I could meet them but I think they're in a better place now," Namjoon said smiling.
Namjoon's grandfather watched Namjoon. He was becoming more and more like his father. Sensible and mature.
