Third person P.O.V

"I really want-"

"Want me? For what? For your satisfaction of seeing me broken after your victory?" Taehyung snapped again at the other who looked up wide-eyed, shaking his head in denial.

"That's not what I mean Taehyung-"

"Stop calling me like we are close Mr. Jeon because we can be anything, but close to each other. We were nothing, although we had a little relation as boss and employee, besides rivals." Taehyung mumbled lastly and turned again.

"You're not listening to me, but believe me... I was never behind her. I don't know, how to put it in words... but." He trialed at the end to which Taehyung scoffed loudly, again wiping his eyes.

"Aren't you tired of your drama? I can't believe your words, Mr. Jeon. I may be rude and anything, but honestly... I'm not thinking straight for now. You did this all and now saying that you were never behind her, then why did you do that?" Jungkook sighed when his reaction was thrown over his face, he got up slowly and smiled sadly.

"Yeah. You're right. I wasn't expecting to have a normal conversation after what happened." He stopped for a second, looking at the back of the other whose hands were shaking due to the cold wind or maybe because of the anger.

Jungkook removed his own jacket and gently draped that over Taehyung's shoulder, taking him by surprise as he felt the weight. He turned to find the other's face closer to his, eyes glossy but lips forming a sad smile.

"It wasn't me, Tae. I hope, one day you believe in me when I give you proof." Biting his already chapped lips, Jungkook softly mumbled and lightly squeezed Taehyung's shoulders, reminding him that his hands were still there.

Taehyung felt his tongue freeze when he saw those deep eyes. For the first time, he felt them really... like really deep and with true emotions, even when those weren't readable to him, they were there.

"Maybe one day, I'll explain the meaning of me wanting you, because now you won't believe me and also, I'm not in a situation to tell you everything." Taehyung silently listened to him, each and every word held a deep meaning that he really wanted to understand.

"For what you lost, I'll try my best to give it back to you. I promise." The hold over his shoulders slipped and he suddenly felt the loss of warmth, even when the thick jacket was still there.

"Take care.." Jungkook's voice sounded so soft and sad that Taehyung felt like the other was crying.

His gaze silently followed as Jungkook stepped back but his eyes were still fixed on him. If anyone else saw them like that, it might seem like the raven-haired was going away with a heavy heart, without his will. Like his eyes were screaming, that he really wanted to be with the other but he couldn't have him... like he wasn't his.

"What are you doing here, Taehyung?" Namjoon's voice asked him from the door that was now open. When did it happen?

Taehyung blinked and turned to see the elder who had a confused look plastered on his face.

"I- Nothing." With that, he quickly stepped inside the house, but Namjoon did see the raven-haired who was standing near a car but his eyes were kind of fixed on where Taehyung disappeared.

Jungkook blinked his eyes, few drops fell over his cheeks.. rain? No, his own tears. His whole demeanor was breaking to the point he didn't know, how he controlled himself from crying when Taehyung was wailing in front of him, crying like a totally broken and lonely boy.

Opening the door of his car, he entered it to again dart his eyes back to the door, to the window of the house. False hope to see the other there, but of course.. no one was there. Even the door was closed now.

"You deserve this Jungkook." He muttered to himself and wiped his tears with a humorless chuckle. Starting the engine, he finally left the place with heaviness in his heart.

"Mr. Min?" Jimin asked finding the table number and a silver-haired sitting there, looking bored.

Later one whipped his head back to see him and nodded his head.

Grumpy

"I'm Park Jimin, Mr. Jeon's assistant."

"Oh yes. Sit please." Jimin took the chair opposite to the other and nervously smiled as the other was now staring at him.

"So, what do you want to order?" Yoongi called the waiter.

"Oh, anything is fine with me. You can order." Yoongi nodded, not pressing it, and ordered two cold coffees.

"I felt, you're sort of nervous on the call. If there is any kind of thing related to the project, please tell me. As far as I know, your CEO was happy with the contract." Yoongi started professionally and Jimin gulped hearing his very serious tone.

And I thought it was a good idea.

"It is a better idea, Mr. Park. You can tell me beforehand instead of causing some serious problems at the final moment." Jimin felt embarrassed at the realization that he just blurted out his thoughts loudly.

"Can I trust you enough?" He asked after a moment and Yoongi nodded instantly.

"Actually, there isn't anything wrong with the deal. Our company is very much ready for it, but.."

"But?"

Jimin sighed and leaned forward on the table and whispered lightly.

"CFO is sort of out of his mind these days or we can say, he is just depressed about something personal. He isn't coming to the company regularly. The whole matter is still hidden from the CEO but, in this situation, we can't fix a date for the meeting, definitely not when he isn't around." Jimin explained and Yoongi frowned lightly.

"Are you both close?"

"Um, sort of. We are friends, not that much closer, but yeah." Jimin leaned back when their order was served.

"So, the problem is with the CFO. Why don't you talk with him?"

"He isn't responding well. That's the problem." Jimin sighed and rubbed his temple. He was very worried about the matter and also tired of handling all the work in the absence of Jungkook.

Yoongi felt bad for the other.

"Don't worry about that anymore. I'll handle the situation." He assured that after a whole minute of thinking.

"Really? But how?" Jimin was wide-eyed and surprised at the words. How it is possible for now?

Yoongi chuckled at his comical expression and grabbed his cup to have a sip.

"Hey! Answer me first," Jimin complained and Yoongi ignored that for about another minute before placing the cup back on the table calmly.

"Believe me, Mr. Park." He said with a small smile and Jimin felt his ears burning. He quickly averted his eyes back on the cup in front of him.

"O- ok." Both sat silently, sipping on the coffee before partying away. Well, Yoongi paid for the coffee saying, he invited the other.

"He isn't that grumpy," Jimin muttered to himself when he saw the other entering his own car with a serious look.

Taehyung entered the club, but he wasn't wearing his mask or cap. For the first time, he went to the counter with his face revealed.

"Omg! Look at you hyung!" Kai squealed and almost hugged the other but stopped when he noticed the wide eyes of the brunet. Clearing his throat, he stepped back and smiled sheepishly.

"What a great change." He commented but stopped when a customer tapped over the counter and he left Taehyung with a smile.

Taehyung kept on working silently but deep down, he was still scared of the stares. He could feel the burning gazes again but this time, he felt a bit of assurance that his hyungs were on his side.

He also noticed one thing more, a board was placed beside the counter with a line written in bold and big words.

'HARASSING THE STAFF IS PROHIBITED'

A smile formed on his lips, quickly getting why that was placed there. Another assurance that he wasn't alone anymore.

The club wasn't much rushy as it was very early to be crowded. So, he took a seat on the nearby stool. The words of Jungkook rang in his head, making him again ponder over them.

What does he mean by that? Is he trying to play with my feelings again?

He jerked his head on that when another action of the male was recalled. Those tears, those emotions in his eyes, he was sure that he had never seen them before but today, those were so clear.. so raw.

"What are you, Jeon? What actually you want me for?" Unable to find a suitable answer, he mumbled to himself but suddenly a smiling face of Seoyun came into his sight and he smiled sadly.

Losing the person you loved wholeheartedly hurts, it definitely hurts. But if they don't believe in you, that hurts more. If your part away from them on the basis of a misunderstanding, that hurts more. And after mourning his mother's words, he felt drowning in sadness for losing his first love.

He felt someone continuously glaring at him but he ignored that and decided to wash his face to distract his thoughts. Silently, he entered the washroom, not noticing the figure that also slipped inside and locked the door.

He washed his face and when he looked up in the mirror, his eyes widened. Because there was standing none other than Chayun.

"Oh, dearie. Finally, found you." Chayun wore a smile but Taehyung was sure that it was nothing, but a devilish one.

Turning his face to the other, he frowned and quickly stepped towards the door but of course, the other didn't let him do so.

"Nu huh! Not so early boy. It took so much effort to locate you in this big city. Thanks to your boss for that, I just followed him." Taehyung's eyes widened when Chayun stepped closer to him, this time he was fully sober but his acts were still the same.

"Stay away!" Taehyung warned the other but Chayun just laughed at that and grabbed Taehyung's both hands tightly when the latter was about to push him. Taking over the startled male, he pushed Taehyung back harshly till his back hit the wall, making him hiss in pain.

Taehyung felt suffocated as the other was invading his personal space.

"Step back or I'll shout!" Taehyung again tried, despite his loudly beating heart. He was scared of the other but he had to be strong.

When he saw the other not stopping and advancing more towards him, he somehow freed his right hand and punched the other right on his jaw.

"The f***" Chayun cursed in pain and quickly let go of the other hand as well.

Taehyung's eyes widened when he noticed the other glaring at him and in the next second, he hissed after being punched his stomach more harshly. He doubled over in pain and his sight became black for a few seconds till he felt a hand making him stand against the wall.

"You can't do that to me, baby. Your punch is nothing but I'm sure, you won't be able to take my beating." Chayun hissed in rage near Taehyung's ear, voice threatening yet lusty. 

Chayun leaned back, a hand holding the brunet who was gasping in pain, and smiled.

"Look at you, so perfect and weak in front of me." Taehyung gritted his teeth and besides the pain in his abdomen, he again punched the other, this time on his nose, causing the other to bleed.

Chayun raised his fist in anger to hit Taehyung again when the door was knocked on.

"Open the door! Jeez- I'm on the verge dude!" Someone yelled from the other side.

Taehyung's eyes sparkled with hope and he opened his mouth to yell for help when Chayun covered it quickly with a furious look.

"Don't you dare sweetheart, If you won't give in, I'm sure that your sister is as pretty as you. And you don't want me to replace you with her, right? Oh.. she is younger than you." Taehyung felt his heart drop at that. The disgusting male in front of him smirked and gestured for him to stay quiet. When he thought that things were getting better and he wasn't alone anymore, that old man had to ruin his hopes.

Chayun smirked while walking to the door before saying.

"If you tried to be smart, I'll get your sister."
