JEONGGUK LEAVES KIM GROUP WITH MORE THAN JUST A LAWSUIT!

It was only yesterday when we reported that Jeon Jeongguk had suddenly pulled out all investments from Kim Group and officially cut all ties with the company. Mind you, this is the company partially run by his fiance, Kim Soa.

The pair are rumoured to be having relationship issues as they've been spotted going for counselling more than once. But what surprised all of South Korea, was Soa's bare ring finger this morning! Are things really over?

This morning Jeongguk showed up to Kim Group with red rimmed eyes and bloody fists. The sight had us astonished. How did the most well-behaved heir turn into a bad boy overnight? To add to this our insider informed that Jeongguk has also been removed from the Jeon Mansion and is no longer a resident of the property. Life sure is being tough on the heir. Hopefully things turn around soon.

I throw the newspaper to the side. The look of hurt on Jeongguk's face still engraved in my mind. It happened over an hour ago, but I can't move on from the way he looked at me. It was almost as if I'd broken his heart. He wanted to cry. I could tell by the way he kept blinking. Shiny eyes finding mine ever so often.

I rub the diamond ring against my finger. Another sigh leaving my lips at the thought of his beautiful proposal. The beauty of that night compared to the mess we're in now. I knew we'd have a problem separating business from our relationship.

"Knock knock," Taehyung peeks into my office. His smile falls at the sight of me, "You okay, Soa?" My brother asks with big eyes, closing my office door before I even have the chance to reply.

"Did you speak to Jeongguk?" He tries again.

I shake my head, "He left before I could."

Taehyung nods, leaning against my desk. His feline eyes scan over my face. I can tell he has a lot to say.

"Just say it, Tae." I sigh, throwing my head back.

He chuckles, knowing I'm not exactly a fan of him being a big brother from time to time, but I know whatever he says will be worth listening to. It always is.

"When Jeongguk first told me he had a crush on you, I wanted to punch him in the face-"

"You did punch him in the face." I interrupt, knowing how sorry I felt when he came to me with a bloody noise. Big, innocent eyes filled with shock. All I could do was hand him a tissue and hope he'd be fine.

"And then he asked you out and I punched him again," Taehyung smiles, causing me to roll my eyes at his pride. Jeongguk could have easily hurt him. He just chose not to.

"But when he proposed to you, I gave him a hug because I now know that he wouldn't hurt you. He hasn't hurt you or done anything to dim your light." My brother smiles, pointing at a photograph of myself and Jeongguk, "You've got something that neither of our brothers have. Yes, they love their wives, but not the way Jeongguk loves you."

He points at me, "If you let that old man, this business or anything else get in-between that, then you're a fool. I know he scared you, but try and talk to him with no snappy replies, hear his side of the story and apologise for slapping him. That's not how you were raised." Taehyung concludes, finding his feet again.

"I hate when you go all Namjoon on me." I reply, watching as he prances out my office, "But you're right. Thanks, Tae."

-

"I'm sorry, Guk." I blurt out at the sight of him. He's dressed in shorts with a vest. His hair has been cut to expose his forehead. Despite the circumstances, he looks good. It's much different from the way he did this morning. It makes me feel like I've missed out on a lot, even though it's only been a few hours. "I've been a bad girlfriend-"

"Fiance." He cuts in, walking toward the kitchen. Of course I follow after. It's Jimin apartment. There's no need to act coy.

"Fiance."

"Are we even still together, Soa? The way you kicked me out last night makes me think we're not." He scoffs, "Then you don't wear your ring this morning and on top of that you file a lawsuit against me?" He sounds calm, but the way he's holding onto the counter shows me he's still angry. It's understandable taking into consideration all that's been happening.

"Jeongguk it's company policy to file lawsuits against businesses that suddenly end contracts. It's not just you, but even then I'm sorry." I reply, watching his eyes take me in. "I can't lose you over this, Guk."

He turns to drop the glass in the sink, head falling into his hands. The movement of his shoulders tells me he's crying. Letting out everything that's been building up.

I walk toward him, resting my body against his. In all the years of knowing Jeongguk, seeing him cry is always what makes me weak. He's not one to cry for nothing.

"Hey," I whisper, leaning against his back, with my arms around his waist. "It's okay."
He continues to sob, while I just hold him.
In the moment I feel like a real jerk for being part of the reason that he's in tears.

I don't know how long we stay like that, but it's comforting. Normally it's the other way around. Him holding me, while I let the fountain of tears flow, but now he's letting his emotions show. It's a step in the right direction.

He straightens up, sniffing as he wipes any stray tears. I stay put, "You need a minute?" I ask, aware that me seeing him post breakdown is probably not what Jeongguk wants.

"No," He turns around, "I'm sorry too. I did and said some messed up things. To be honest, I don't know how to deal with any of this. It's stressing me out. Are we still together, Soa?" He asks, tone begging more than questioning.

"Yes, Jeongguk. I love you and that's never going to change."

Jeongguk sighs, pulling me into a hug. One that has my head resting on his chest. It feels tight, like he's almost afraid to let go.
"You're the best thing that's ever happened to me Kim Soa. I've lost a lot today, but I'm grateful that I still have you. I love you."

-

"Kim Soa, it's been a while." Jimin smiles, pulling me into a hug. One that has me pinching his sides in retaliation. He doesn't react just keeps his arm around me, mouth at my ear, "Want me to take care of that lawsuit for you?"

I pull away, eyes warily scanning the area for a sign of Jeongguk. He doesn't seem to be around, but I know that he could be listening. Just the idea of doing something else behind his back again makes me nervous. We just made up.

"Thanks, Jimin, but I'm going to leave this to Jeon. Wouldn't want another fight."

He nods, moving away from me and into his massive lounge area. I watch as he throws himself onto the sofa. Relaxation taking over his features and I'm jealous. If either of us had the courage Jimin has, we too wouldn't have to answer to the beck and call of our parents.

I turn, eyes taking in the view of Seoul. Bright lights pulling all eyes to the heart of the city. We used to go there too. When we were able to freely walk about and visit places. Now we're adults with jobs, responsibilities and status. It's tiring at times.

"When we get married, would you like to stay in Seoul or move to Busan?" I jolt at the sudden sound of Jeongguk's voice. So close and warm. With his arms around my figure in a way that makes me lean into him.

"I love Busan, but my heart is in Seoul."

He hums, placing his chin on my shoulder.
"My heart is with you."

"Don't be cheesy, Jeon. It doesn't suit your haircut." I reply.

He chuckles, placing light kisses on my neck.
"Do you like it?"

"You look hot." His face nuzzles into my neck, a little giggle escaping him. I roll my eyes at the sound. Trust Jeongguk to turn cute when he's supposed to be hot and broody. It's a sound I could get used to for life. I'd rather hear a million giggles than ever have to see a single tear roll down his face.

"But I'm serious. My heart is wherever you are." He continues, placing a kiss on the side of my face. It's light and feathery. A feeling that matches the moment. No heavy emotions taking over and no fighting. It's been a while since there's been peace like this. It feels unnatural.

It's good to be in a place that's healthy again. This relationship can only function properly if we both put in the effort. It's true that business is never going to make things easier. If anything, ending contracts with Jeon Corp is most likely the best decision his grandfather could have made for this relationship. Now we just get to focus on us.

When we enter the lounge area, Park Jimin is nowhere to be found. Only a little slip of paper reading 'Heading over to a friend. Enjoy your evening together. Love you both, but don't make babies in my place. Thanks. PJ. x'

I make a mental note to thank him via text. Trust Jimin to read a room and leave his own home to give us space. He's always been a massive supporter and a great friend.

"Shall we head to bed?" I ask Jeongguk, finding him opposite me with all sorts of snacks in his hands, "Or you can stay and finish those. I'll see you in the morning?"

He nods, moving closer with his diabetes, "Goodnight, baby. I love you." Soft lips get placed on my own. Little cushions of warmth that don't last long, but make me smile.

"I love you too, Jeon. Don't stay up too late."
