MY Last Days!! (Taekook) 18

Continue...............

CASSIS (jeon's butler)

It’s not like that my lord.... it's.......*hesitate*

He hesitated to speak for a second but eventually raised his head to deliver the news.

CASSIS (jeon's butler)

The tracker we hired said it is no longer possible to track him.

There was a pause.

COUNT JEON

What do you mean by that?

CASSIS (jeon's butler)

It seems lord Jungkook has left the southern territory.

Count jeon's face crumpled. The butler bowed and handed over the written report to the count, who ripped it away from the butler's hands. He skimmed through the letter.

IN LETTER ~ The target has gotten on a carriage heading on the capital and has left the southern territory. We have stopped tracking him (jk) because our contract only entails tracking him (jk) within the southern borders. If you wish us to continue to track him (jk) further, please note that it will take triple the initial price .

COUNT JEON

It was rather short for how much it had cost.

COUNT JEON

Jeon Jung-kook! *shout angrily*

At count jeon's roar, the butler held his breath. The count creed out as he crumpled the letter.

COUNT JEON

How could someone act so childish and thoughtlessly?

He thought that he (jk) must have left the southern territory because he (jk) was unaware of the danger outside of it. The southern territory were under his jurisdiction, so it was easy to track him (jk) but it was very difficult to do the same once he (jk) had moved on.

With this thoughts tormenting him (count), the count jeon exclaim,

COUNT JEON

How could he behave like this, even if he is upset? Has he lost his mind or what?

Hearing the ruckus the countess carefully stepped inside her husband’s office.

COUNTESS JEON

Darling, what's wrong?

Count jeon replied morosely,

COUNT JEON

Jungkook has left the southern territory.

COUNTESS JEON

Good god, so......what happened to Jungkook?

COUNT JEON

We can't track him anymore. The tracker said he has taken a carriage heading to the capital.

The count rubbed his furrowed brows. Over the previous week, he had deeply thought about why kook would be upset. He had concluded that he (jk) was angry, so he was planning to teach him (jk) a lesson but also throw him (jk) a birthday party when he (jk) returned.

COUNT JEON

Not even children behave so immature. And he is not a commoner, either. How dare he step outside of the southern lands! Does he not know what trouble he could run into?

COUNT JEON

What an insolent child?! 😒😒

His anger at his (jk) action grew as he understood that he (jk) wanted him to suffer the consequences. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.

COUNT JEON

How could he treat his own parents like this?

COUNTESS JEON

Please calm down. We must find him first, whether you teach him a lesson or not, let's think about it after we bring him home. *try to countered*

COUNT JEON

What do you mean by bringing him home? Whatever! If he doesn't like his home that much, then he can stay awayn.He has left of his ow accord, so he shall not be allowed to set his foot inside this house untill he bows down and apologised properly. *said sternly*

Hearing the count's word, the countess cried in alarm.

COUNTESS JEON

Darling! 😥

She was deeply upset.

COUNT JEON

How will we fix his horrendous behaviour if we don't act now?

Count jeon crossed his arms dismissively.

COUNT JEON

Cassis! Pay the trackers to continue tracking him further. We can pay double the amount that asked for if thay give us a consistent update.

CASSIS (jeon's butler)

Understood, my lord.

The butler, cassis replied. Bowing briefly before leaving the office in a hurry.

Count jeon dropped to his leather chair and shook his head.

COUNTESS JEON

Jung-kook did act rashly this time, but he must have done so because he felt like he had been wronged. *offered*

COUNT JEON

He should have said so if he that's how he felt. Does it make sense to run away from home because of that? You should stop defending him. He is in the wrong. How could he run away........

Feeling lost for his words, count jeon didn't even finish his sentence. when he turned to his wife, he looked calmer.

COUNT JEON

You know how embarrassing this would be if the word get out?

COUNTESS JEON

He is a smart boy, so he will think of our family's reputation and come back home before the matter gets out of hand.

The count's reply was cold.

COUNT JEON

How long could he keep it up, anyway?

The countess could see the anxiety in his eyes despite the coldness of the words.

COUNT JEON

How is lia doing? She loves her brother so dearly. She was always at Jungkook's side. Doesn't she feel lonely?

COUNTESS JEON

I think she spends time in Jungkook's room from time to time. But I think she keeps to herself because she knows things are not going well.

The countess answered calmly. She was trying to assuage the count's worries.

COUNT JEON

She is more mature than her older brother.

COUNTESS JEON

Abelia may act like a child but she is thoughtful and considerate. And Jung-kook must have acted out like this because he would had a hard time too .

Frowning, the count barked back.

COUNT JEON

What hard time?

To his question, the countess did not have an answer, she herself did not really understand how kook could have felt wronged. She had no idea why her son would have had a hard time.

Count jeon sighed seeing his wife's struggle to come up with an answer.

COUNT JEON

I understand you are are trying to defend hi. as a mother, but it is a parents duty to say "no" when things are not right.

The countess answer was nothing better than a whisper.

COUNTESS JEON

I agree but.........I wonder why he would act out like this when he has never done anything like it?

Kook had never caused any problems. The countess could not fathom the reason why her second eldest son would cause such chaos.

COUNT JEON

What does Jung-kook lack? Was his allowance too low? Have we not bought him the things he wanted?
