Third person P.O.V

Taehyung drove to his office from Jimin's place, Thanks to his best friend he managed a proper outfit for him for the office. He entered his office with a small smile when his eyes fell on the box he received from JK.. well yeah, he can call him by that fancy name... so why not?

"Ahm". He turned back with the same smile to face Hanna. She also smiled in response when he saw a genuine smile on his face.

"Someone is happy today~". She sang slightly and Taehyung snickered at that.

"Well.. can say so." He said while removing his coat.

Hanna chuckled but her smile faded when she realized why she was there.

"Um.. He is angry. I mean too much anger." She subtly rolled her eyes and Taehyung's hand movements halted.

Of course, he would be because he again didn't inform him and definitely that must've pissed off his already pissed father.

"He is mostly angry.. can't help that." If we say that Hanna was surprised by those words, it was not a lie. She never saw him saying anything against his father... not in all those years she was with him.

"You are ri-" She couldn't even complete her words as the door was burst open by a flaring Hyungsik. He quickly gestured for Hanna to leave while Taehyung stands there with an unimpressed look.

Once she hurried out of the room, Hyungsik let out a loud sigh.

Taehyung grabbed the files he needed to work on and took the seat silently.. kind of avoiding the presence of his father.

"You did it again."

No response.

"Why are you becoming like this Taehyung, I swear, I won't bear such-"

"You never bear my presence if I am not wrong but still, you have to." Taehyung cut him while his eyes still focus on the file.

Hyungsik gritted his teeth, offended by the reaction.

"You are a disgrace to my family, a murderer who killed his own mother." He again spatted those hurtful words so casually, scratching Taehyung's heart with a sharpness to resurface his wounds.

Taehyung felt the same feeling in his chest and eyes upon hearing those words but he gulped down the feeling, shutting the file rather harshly and throwing that on the table. He faced Hyungsik directly and sneered.

"What do you expect from the son of a murderer?" Taehyung finally said it out loud. For a second he saw Hyungsik's so puzzled expressions but soon those turned into somewhat, unreadable ones.

"What are you blabbering?" After a minute of silence, he again spat in anger.

"Exactly what you heard. Well, I am always so confused, why don't you just let me go if you hate me this much?" Taehyung said, his voice devoid of any kind of emotions. God knows, how he controlled his emotions so well.

He remains rooted in his chair and slightly leaned back on the chair, producing a little sound.

Hyungsik's eyes were filled with rage... anger... hate... but the dominant emotion was fear.

"What? Oh, I can give an answer to that." Taehyung started again when he feel that older wasn't planning to say something. He leaned forward and placed his elbows on the table, supporting his chin.

"I own 50% of shares from all of your companies and unfortunately, you can't change that because... that's what my mother decided in her life." Taehyung seethed and Hyungsik just clenched his fists.

"Because... you need my presence to run these companies," Taehyung added, his voice stern with his face stoic.

"Don't fly too much son! Who is giving you this much courage? Hunh? Ah.. is that Park's son.. he is so annoying and now he is influencing you." Taehyung shook his head with a small smile, a mocking one.

"You can say that it was bound to happen. You can't always rule over me, Dad." Taehyung pointed out, forcing the last word.

"You are my son, I can do whatever I want." His voice was again loud and full of rage as he slammed his fists over the table.

"Son?" Taehyung chuckled humorlessly. He really found that funny.

"You never saw me as your son Mr. Kim. When I was a child, I was a burden to you.. when I turned young, I was like a robot to you.. and now at this age..." Taehyung finally got up from the chair and walked towards the other.

"I am a source of money for you. You want just money... using my signs... using my shares....... even using me." Taehyung muttered and he clenched his jaw to prevent himself from breaking down on the spot. For sake, he just arrived at the office with a smile and this man quickly ruined that.

Hyungsik just stared into those beautiful brown eyes that were shaking with anger, a very rare sight.

"I gave you everything you needed."

"Except for love... the most important thing. I craved this all these years and you never gave me an ounce. Now, I am kind of adapted to it. At least, I don't expect it anymore from you." Taehyung sadly smiled and turned back.

"As I have no need to find your affection anymore, I am not giving in this time. I won't let you use me again.. not for this big step of my life. You already ruined my childhood, my teenage... but no more. I will never let you use me." Hyungsik heard his every word silently. Something again stirred in his chest.

"Say no to Ms. Rose or I will do it on my own." Taehyung ended with that and left for the restroom. Hyungsik saw him locking the door of the bathroom, situated in his office.. he sighed and left the office.

It was all new but somehow, he was aware that it will happen someday.

Taehyung splashed water over his face while inhaling and exhaling loudly. He looked up at his reflection and slightly smiled.

"You are not like old Taehyung. Welcome, new Taehyung." He whispered to himself and shook his head at his own words. It felt oddly light after his kind of calm outburst. After a few minutes, when he came back, luckily the older was already gone.

He felt happy again and grabbed the file from the table, continuing his work.

''''''''

Hyungsik sat there in his office, all the words echoing in his mind. He couldn't even talk back when Taehyung mentioned the word murderer to him. Why? He wasn't aware of the answer.

He grabbed a glass of water and gulped it down. Right then his secretary rushed inside his office with a panicked expression.

"Sir! We have bad news." Hyungsik gave him a look but he continued.

"The information of fraud with Choi Enc. is revealed and I don't know... how the information got leaked to all of our partners. 3 of our ongoing projects are canceled and the other two aren't planning something different." He said with a shaky voice and Hyungsik sat there.. with blank eyes.

"What do you mean? H- how is this possible? You said that you removed every piece of evidence.. then HOW?" He deadpanned on his secretary who just flinched in response.

"I-i don't know sir.. but we need to do something. Or we will lose our biggest project." He added and Hyungsik's eyes widened in realization. Yes, he can't afford the cancellation of the project with JC Enc.

Well little did he knows, JC Enc was the one to start it all.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

The rest of the day, Taehyung felt the commotion in the company but he didn't act much. He was working on some new project that JC Enc. offered him separately. So, he was kind of unaware of the whole situation.

He was feeling good till the door was opened by the person, he doesn't want to see.

"Hi dear." Rose chirped in her oddly excited tone.

"Why are you here?" Taehyung said, rubbing his temple.

"Aw.. are you tired? Of course, you are, that's not the way you usually greet your guests." She said and walked towards Taehyung's chair.

Taehyung scrunched his nose due to a very strong sweet scent wafting from that girl.

"I am tired but I can't help my manners with uninvited guests." Rose rolled her eyes but managed to smile again as she placed her bag on the side just to take hold of Taehyung's forehead in her hands.

Taehyung quickly yanked away her hands while leaning away from her.

"What are you doing?"

"Trying to relax you."

"I would be much better if you leave please." Taehyung simply said and got up from the chair but Rose grabbed his forearm.

"I like you Taehyung.. please try to understand." She said in her soft voice and Taehyung sighed. He can't be rude to her. So he gently removed her hand.

"You try to understand Rose.. I don't feel like that. Even if I accept this proposal, I can't make you happy. Not after knowing the whole truth." He stated the fact but she wasn't planning to buy that.

"I can't leave you now. I- I feel empty without you Tae. Please-"

Taehyung sighed again and shook his head.

"I am sorry.. but I can't do that. I hope that you will be able to find someone who really loves you but that person is surely not me. Now, will you excuse me?" He exclaimed and grabbed his coat, phone, keys, and left the office. He told Hanna to lock the office once she left.

Trying to keep his mind away from the incidents in his office, he drove back to Jin's house this time and was happy that the other greeted him warmly. Though he could feel so many lingering questions in his eyes, he also felt relieved that the older didn't ask anything.

After dinner, Jin told him about the problem they got in all Kim companies. Taehyung was surprised but more guilty, knowing that those two incidents weren't enough deeds by his father.

Jin settled the bed for him in the guest room and went to bed early.

Taehyung changed after showering and plopped on the soft mattress, recalling the day with a frown.

"Life is messy." He said to no one and sighed.

Right then his phone buzzed and he smiled because somehow, he was expecting that.

Kookie:

'How is my softie doing? How's the day?'

'It's fine. I guess.'

In the next minute, his phone rang and he accepted the call.

"Are you sad sweetie?"

"H- how do you know?"

"I know every inch of you Tae-"

Taehyung blushed and shook his head.

"Um.. Kookie-"

"Say it again."

"Huunh?"

"Call me again Tae.. it feels so good to hear this.. please, say it again."

Taehyung smiled and bit his lip.

"Kookie~. Kookie~ Kookie~" He stopped when he heard the same chuckle from the other side. Taehyung again felt all giddy.

"Well... I want to meet you." Taehyung said after a while, unknown to him he kind of whined and Jungkook chuckled again.

"Soon. I am in Busan for some work. I will meet you once I'll be back. Hm?" Taehyung hummed in response as he played with bedsheets.

"Kookie, we are still best friends? Right?" Taehyung asked out of nowhere... slight fear evident in his voice.

Jungkook on the other hand froze on his words. Did Taehyung always just see him as a best friend? Nothing else??? The uncomfortable silence fell upon the two males, one feeling mixed emotions about the matter while the other feeling insecure about the upcoming answer.

And once the silence was broken by the older of the two, Taehyung felt his heart drop at the answer he got from his Kookie.

"No.. we aren't Tae.."
