He locked the door on himself and the man, then he walked to him and gave him a hard lash on the stomach with the umbrella.

"Arggghh!!!!" The man cried agonizingly, blood bursting out of his mouth.

Jungkook have him another hit with the umbrella, but on the chest this time.

"Argghhhhh!!!!" He cried again, bleeding more blood.

The third hit was on his shoulder, and he rolled around in pains, crying even louder.

"AHHHH!!!!"

Jungkook dumped the umbrella and dragged him up by holding his collar.

"Who the hell are you? Who sent you?" He questioned.

Instead of answering, he craftily got a knife out of his pocket.

He tried to sink it into Jungkook's arm, but he was fast to dodge it, though not fast enough because it made contact and gave him a cut on that arm.

His blood stained his white shirt, and his anger got rebuilt.

The man tried stabbing him again, but he grabbed his hand and twisted it.

The knife fell from him to the ground, and Jungkook began dealing his face with punches without stopping.

His expensive wristwatch fell from his wrist to the ground and got destroyed, but he cared less.

He just wants to trash this bastard here till he passes out.

The man even lacks the energy to fight back because the punches are damn heavy, and as he receives them, blood coloured his face till he became unrecognizable.

After the tenth one, Jungkook grabbed his arm and flipped him.

He landed on the ground with a loud cry, but it wasn't over because Jungkook gave him a kick on the tummy which sent him to the standing lockers in the room.

He landed between the lockers, and the metals wounded him greatly.

"Argg!!!... F**k!" He groaned, spitting blood again.

Jungkook folded up his shirt sleeves till his mid-arms and grabbed the umbrella from the ground.

He walked to him and made to hit it on him...

"I was sent by Jennie's biological father. He wanted his daughter back but Wang wasn't giving him the chance, that's why...I was hired" he finally confessed, and Jungkook's hands went down slowly, hot breaths escaping his thin nostrils as sweat ran down his jaws.

At the same time, the door was opened forcefully, and cops came in together with everyone.

As expected, eyes popped when they saw the man's condition, especially Taehyung's and Jin's.

Jungmin kept staring at his father shockingly. He has never witnessed him do this before.

The cops took the man away in handcuffs, and the crowd began leaving.

"You're hurt" Jin told Jungkook, looking at his arm.

"I'm fine" he breathed out, walking to Jimin who's still holding Jennie tightly.

"He mentioned that his biological father sent him, and he mentioned a name too.. Wang" he said, and Jimin nodded.

"You should get your arm treated"

"I'm seriously fine, you should get your head treated instead. If you don't want me to take you, then Jin can do it" he replied.

"Taehyung will take me" he replied, and he nodded once as Jimin walked out of the room.

Taehyung and Nancy followed him.

"I hate it when you get hurt" Jungmin's voice came, and Jungkook squatted in front of him, stroking his hair shortly.

"I'm serious" Jungmin said, squeezing his face as he stared at the bleeding arm.

"I'm sorry I, won't get hurt again" he replied with a little smile.

"I'll call Soora to come help you get it treated at home" Jin said.

"Don't tell mum, I don't want her dramas this night" Jungkook stood and left the room with Jungmin.

"Jerk" Jin muttered before following him.

*

JIMIN'S PLACE, TWO HOURS LATER*

Taehyung's car pulled up, and Jimin came out with sleeping Jennie in his arms.

His forehead is currently plastered as it got treated at the hospital.

"You should take the painkillers before going to bed. It'd reduce the pains and make you sleep" Taehyung said.

"I will. Thanks for all you do, Taehyung" he replied.

"I hate hearing thanks from you, Mr. Min" he muttered, and Jimin smiled.

"Goodnight"

"Goodnight" he waved.

"Goodnight Mr. Hwang!" Nancy waved from the backseat.

"Bye Nancy!" He replied and entered the house.

Taehyung sighed and rested back on his seat.

"Are you sad that that man saved him instead of you?" Nancy asked.

"Why would I be sad? He got saved after all, I should thank him" he replied.

"I heard guys love playing hero for the person they love" she said again.

"Mr. Min is someone I respect a lot, and I owe him my life. Loving him would mean selfishness. He's married and there are boundaries I can never cross. He's more like a hyung, and I just want him to be happy" he replied, and she leaned forward.

"You owe him your life? Did you both meet in the past?"

"You ask too many questions, Nancy" he replied, and she went back to her seat as he drove away.

*

Jimin gently placed Jennie on the bed when he got inside, and Immediately he stood straight, Wang came into the room.

"And where are you coming from by this time?" He questioned.

"Cinema. Took Jennie out for a movie" he replied.

"Was that why you refused to pick my call? Are you crazy!" He shouted, coming closer.

"Why is it that you get uncomfortable with everything I do? I can't even breath well in this house!" He shouted, and Wang immediately grabbed his neck, choking him.

"Wa.. Wang!" Jimin struggled, and he even exerted more pressure on the choking.

His eyes began rolling.

"You can't breathe? Then die! Die b**ch! Die!!" He yelled as he choked.

"Wang easy. You can't kill him yet" Alan said, coming into the room in just his underwear.

He has been here even before Jimin arrived earlier.

Wang let go of Jimin, and he began coughing so hard, holding the red neck.

"I saved your life and you wanna start disobeying me now?" He said.

"I'm currently paying the price for what you did for me you beast!!" Jimin yelled, and tears escaped his eyes as he had a flashback.

EIGHT YEARS AGO*

Wang really payed off Jimin's debts as promised, and he took him away from the thugs.

They went to his place together, and he invited him in.

His face shows how disgusted he's feeling with the poor condition of the place.

Jimin offered him water, but he didn't even touch the cup.

"Thanks.. thanks for saving me. I'll work hard and pay you back" he said gratefully, kneeling in front of him.

"I didn't save you so you could pay me back with money" he replied, resting back on the chair.

"Then...what do you want?" He asked curiously.

"I'm Hwang Wang, the third son of the Hwang family" he replied, and his eyes widened.

He fell from his knees to his butt.

"What!"

"And dad is currently dying, but any of his sons who don't get married before his death won't be included in his will" he explained, and Jimin eyes widened more.

"Then...

"I hate getting committed to one stupid person. Why would I do that when there are a lotta holes to drill out there? You'd get married to me in a contract marriage for nine years. Don't worry I won't touch you, you're not my type at all. Just live with me as a wifey, and nothing more" he said.

"What?!"

"Yes" he smiled.

FLASHBACK ENDS*

"I've been married to you on paper since then and I always do every single thing you want!! You even brought home the child you had with one of b**ches and I didn't complain! I took her as my own daughter! You got disowned by your father and I've been the one feeding you since then! What else do you want!" Jimin shouted hurtfully.

"Come to think of it, you're the cause of my misfortunes because I got disowned immediately I got married to you and my dad didn't even die like I wanted! You're bad luck!" He yelled.

"Calm down, Wa..." Alan rubbed his chest.

"Then let go of me if I'm bad luck!" Jimin fired.

"You think I'm stupid? The contract is nine years and you're going nowhere before it completes, ugly thing...now I don't even blame your boyfriend for betraying you in college, no man deserves an unfortunate person like you" Wang said, and Alan pulled him out of the room.

Jimin sat on the ground and started crying slowly, covering his mouth with his palm so he wouldn't wake sleeping Jennie.

Whenever he bashes him with words like this, he always mentions his past pains, and his wounds reopen each time.

Namgil and Gyuvin's face appeared in his memory, and for the 100th time, he cursed them.

He cried for long before entering the bathroom for his shower, and when he came out he changed into a black long-sleeved shirt which reached his mid-thigh.

He's cutely short, so things like this look long on him.

He sat in front of his mirror and swallowed the painkillers with water, then he remembered Jungkook's wound from earlier.

"I hope he's ok" he muttered, touching his own plastered forehead.

He touched his red neck too, and he sighed.

"Curse you, Wang" he muttered.

*

JUNGKOOK'S MANSION*

Jungkook got his arm treated by himself when he arrived earlier, and he went for his shower afterwards.

He met Jungmin in his room already when he came out of the bathroom with a towel which he's drying his hair with.

"You're not asleep yet?" He said surprisingly.

"Do you like Mr. Smart?" Jungmin asked straight, and he blinked in confusion.

"Mr. Smart? Who's that?...

"Your P.A" he replied, and Jungkook sighed. He expected this.

"You should got to bed, Jungmin"

"You told me not to get violent but you got extra violent immediately you saw his wounded head earlier" Jungmin said.

"That's because he's..." Jungkook said and paused.

"He's what?"

"My P.A, and...

"Kim once got attacked by goons when he was still your P.A but you didn't...

"I don't like Jimin, I promise you" Jungkook cut him off, and he walked up to him.

He stood on the bed so he's taller a bit, and he hugged him from there.

"That's what I want to hear" he whispered, and Jungkook closed his eyes, hugging him back.

*

NEXT DAY, HAVEN HOSPITAL*

"Mum!!!" Nancy screamed when she entered Mrs. Kim's ward in the company of Taehyung.

"Nancy!" The woman widened her arms, and Nancy jumped on the bed to hug her tightly.

"I've missed you so much mum!"

"I missed you more than you did Nancy. It's been a week" Mrs. Kim replied.

"I didn't want to skip school because I hate missing anything, you hate it too" she said, and the woman held her face.

"Of course. I want our Nancy to do well and become a great surgeon in the future"

"I'll make you proud, and please get well soon" Nancy beamed, and Mrs. Kim hugged her tightly again.

"Before you talk about a lover again, I have a studio session so bye! I only came to drop Nancy" Taehyung said, and they broke the hug.

"Taehyung come back here!" Mrs. Kim shouted.

"I'll come back at night to pick Nancy!!" He shouted back, leaving completely.

"Isn't he so handsome? Why is it hard for your brother to get a lover?" Mrs. Kim said.

"Give him time" Nancy replied.

*

ERA STUDIOS*

Taehyung arrived in the company of his manager, and he went masked into the studio to avoid screams from fans.

He removed his mask when he got into the studio, and attention shifted to him the male and female models.

👥 Hey Tae!

👥 Hi Taehyung!

👥 Taehyung you look hotter!

👥 Taehyung!

It's always the case because despite the fact that he's new, he's one of the most handsome.

"This way" his manager directed, and he followed till they got to the right room where he'd be meeting his partner for the shoot.

He only saw the back view at first, but when he turned, he smiled.

It's Kim Seokjin.

"Hey!" He walked to him immediately.

"We met at the cinema last night, and at the café the other night. Told you I'm your fan" he said.

"Wait... you're my partner?" He blinked.

"Yeah. Kim Taehyung" he smiled.

"Oh, my gawd! You didn't tell me you're part of this industry too!"

"I'm new. Just three months ago" he replied, and they shook hands.

"It's almost time, please get dressed" the director announced.

"See ya around!" Jin winked and started leaving for his dressing room, but Lan, his manager kept staring at Taehyung, biting his lip repeatedly.

'He's so cute!' he kept screaming in his mind till Jin turned back.

"Lan!" He called out

"Coming!" He winked secretly at Taehyung before going after Jin.

*

SILVER RESTAURANT*

It's not so busy today, so Jimin only did serving a number of times.

Jennie is with him since it's Sunday. She's busy playing with Madam White's daughter who's same age as her.

"Jimin, you're needed here" Madam White said from the kitchen, and he rushed there to take the tray of turkey risotto.

It gave him a deja vu feeling as he took it to the right table where he saw the two business men at, the ones he got the Intel from, and they're currently arguing.

"I said you're the only one I told about it!"

"Then why did Baron get it before we could? You obviously leaked it maybe you're an ally with Jeon Jungkook!"

"What the hell are you saying! I haven't met Jeon Jungkook before! We're rivals in this field!"

"So how do we explain this to boss?"

"I dunno!"

They left the restaurant afterwards without even waiting to eat what they ordered.

Jimin dropped the tray and sighed softly.

"I'm sorry, you both" he muttered and smiled lightly, then his phone buzzed.

He checked, and his eyes widened when he saw it's a reminder.

The company seventh anniversary is next week, and he hasn't even planned anything as the P.A.

"Why so fast" he muttered, going to his contacts.

He scrolled till he got to Jungkook's number.

Kim gave him during handover since it's compulsory to have his boss's number.

It's saved as 'Heartless Jerk'

He contemplated on whether to dial it or not before finally dialling, and he was quick to pick.

"Jimin?" He said calmly.

"I called to ask about your arm, I'm not heartless like a certain person" he said.

"It's healing well, I called you in the morning to ask about your forehead, but you didn't pick" he replied.

"I was busy, and I didn't see the call too. Is next week really the anniversary or is there a mistake? Because I just...

"You can come to my place instead, and we can talk" he interrupted.

"About?"

"The anniversary, and you get to see Jungmin, or you can forget about i...

"I'm not...sure. Send the address though" He said before Jungkook could finish, and he hung up immediately, smiling wide.

"Daddy" Jennie came to him, and he crouched in front of him.

"We're going somewhere" he said.

"Where?" She blinked innocently.

*

AN HOUR LATER, JUNGKOOK'S MANSION*

The taxi driver was good with routes, so he got the address very fast.

Jimin came down after paying him, and he nodded as he stared at the magnificent mansion.

"As expected" he muttered, and a raindrop touched his arm.

"Oh, my gosh. Is it gonna rain? I didn't see the weather forecast" he muttered, and before he could say another word, the rain started falling for real.

He rushed to the gate and placed Jennie in a covered space so she wouldn't get drenched, then he gasped when he noticed his purse is gone.

"My purse" he muttered, going back into the rain to start searching the ground maybe it fell.

His last cash is in, and he might go crazy if it's really gone.

Despite the rain, he searched everywhere but couldn't find it.

"Oh no" he mumbled, and the taxi drove back to him, stopping on the initial spot.

The window went down, and the driver pointed out the purse.

"You forgot it"

"Thanks so much, mister" he said as took it, and the taxi drove away, then he ran to join Jennie.

"You're soaked, daddy" little Jennie said, and he smiled. He was starting to shake.

"I found my purse, that's what matters baby" he replied and dialled Jungkook's line.

"Hello?"

"I'm at the gate" he replied.

"What!"

He showed up a minute later with an umbrella, and immediately he saw his wet state, he gasped, rushing to open the gate.

He stepped out and covered him with the umbrella, so they're both under.

"You said you weren't sure" he said.

"I...I changed my mind" he replied shakily.

"You're silly, daddy" he smiled, giving him the umbrella.

He took off his loose multicolored jacket and covered him with it.

"What did you... just... call me?" He asked slowly, and he took the umbrella from him to hold, then he looked into his eyes before talking again.

"Daddy"
