Jungkook's PoV

Even a 100 dollar bill won't get me to look in her innocent eyes. Maybe put a couple more and I'll do a staring competition with her because I just realized that her eyes are not that innocent but it's not the point. She entrusted me with a big secret and all I gave her back was a betrayal.

A day ago...

"Jungkook I want to talk to you." Taehyung turned around to leave and I just followed him with my head held lower than my middle school grades.

We walked out through the back door to the poolside. "Were you both talking about Minhee?" His deep set of brows slightly furrowed as he confirmed the situation.

"Y-yes." I did think about lying but the bigger, better part of me with virtues didn't allow me to lie to him.

"Didn't you promise me to keep it to yourself? How long have you been knowing Y/N? Do you know if she's trustworthy or not?" He rubbed his temples with irritation while walking closer to the pool. He bent down to roll up his pant legs and further proceeded to dip the exposed skin in chlorinated water. "That wasn't all you talked about, right?"

"I don't think dipping legs in water during this season would be the best idea, Tae." I sighed at his childish act and moved forward to make him stand. He creepily glanced at me from over his shoulder and that was a cue for me to pause. "She was telling me about her ex-husband."

"Go on," He focused on his reflection on the water that momentarily disappeared when he flapped his legs like a fish's fin.

"She had a failed marriage with this guy, Kim Seokjin..." I uncertainly let out every bit of sorrow Y/N shared with me moments ago. My promise didn't even last for a day and I wasn't too proud.

"As much as I do want to believe it, her overwhelming personality doesn't match the situation. She doesn't look depressed." I really felt the urge to just leave him alone to rot when he scoffed. Like, I told you about a lady's miserable past and you laughed at it?

"And what about you? The way you giggled at it, you too don't look like someone who might have felt any pain and definitely not like someone who might have lost their wife. If you think that either one of us is stupid or have forgotten about Minhee, then I must tell you that you're mistaken." I cockily tilted my neck and moved closer enough to kick him off the ledge anytime sooner.

"Ten on ten for the speech but I give you all the time you want to: one, think over your words and my situation again." He fake clapped as he pulled his feet out of cold water. "and two, to realize that you betrayed me as well as her." He walked past me, his words guilting me thousand times more and everything came down to one question,

Will she forgive me ?

Y/N's PoV

That awkward silence enveloped around us like smoke and it made me uncomfortable when it looked as if Jungkook took an oath of silence. "Jungkook, did he suck your soul? Why aren't you saying anything?" I asked genuinely concerned about his well being.

"Y-Y/N, I told Taehyung about..." He tried to fake speech disorders but one intimidating look from me and he immediately completed his sentence. "...Jin."

My angelic side immediately told me to forgive him like written in the bible while the normal side was preparing his murder. I was in the middle of planning his funeral but a part of me said he could have hidden the fact that he has already spilt the beans, but he didn't. He informed me as a if-not-so-good-then-below-average friend so I should forgive him.

Plus, eventually, one day or the other I would have to open up my past to Taehyung, so it wasn't that bad, was it?

He did deserve some hard time for this and I flashed him my most shocked expression. His eyes almost welled up when I pretended to be hurt. "Jungkook, you... you are such a bitch." I playfully hit his chest and he stumbled back, surprised at my now changed reaction.

"That means you forgave me, noona?" That last word made me change my mind and now it didn't plan about how I will kill him, it was about how I will escape prison after his murder.

"Not until you stop making me feel like your grandma." I turned around to take a towel to wipe off the day's sweat. I slightly threatened him with my fingers curling in a fist.

"I like my head intact, so sure!" He agreed to it quickly and laughed a bit at his own joke.

"What was Taehyung's reaction after hearing this though?" I asked, thinking would it change the way he looked at me.

"H-he was sad... as sad as I was." He stuttered at the starting but then he smiled to make his words sound true. "Just say you forgave me."

"Shut your whining up or I'm going to ignore your existence for the rest of the week." I breathe out. "I'll go to take a bath again. It might become the death of me." What I really meant was dealing with both of these men and life in general but made it sound like I was talking about taking a second round of shower.

All I concluded from this incident was that Taehyung was correct. His quote replayed in my head.

'We can't even trust the walls.'

And I was so stupid to trust a soon to be 25 years old Homosapien of X and Y chromosomes.

On my way back to our room I heard whispering which made me interested over what was happening. "Mrs Minhee was with Mr Jungkook since the morning." One of them whispered.

"Yes, I saw them hugging too. I strongly believe something's wrong." The other one replied with a smirk creeping on her face.

They were talking about me with me standing literally two feet away. "I think something is wrong with your senses that you can't even see that I'm here. By the way, would you like to go out with me over the weekend?"

The look over their faces was of total shock and then disgust. "First you flirt with Jungkook, now me! Why would you take me out?" The one with a missing front tooth said. Yeah, you're perfectly eligible to be my date, ma'am.

"Take you out to the doctor for treating your narrow minded thoughts so you don't infect others here." With their mouths hanging open, I continued my paths towards my room.

My hand came in contact with the doorknob while I exerted a bit of pressure on the wooden door to open it. The view meeting my eyes made me cringe and disgusted at the same time. Taehyung was wrestling with a black material, which was undoubtedly his pants, halfway up his legs but still halfway down too. "Shit, no."

"Oh, shit!" I closed the door behind, covering my eyes with my hand. My heart stilled, skipping a few beats. I couldn't believe that on the second day of my work, I saw him like that.

He was half-naked.

It's just the second day, Y/N, an era to go.

Soon after the door closed, I heard a loud thud followed by him wincing in pain. I did see him diving in attempts to hide beside the bed. Maybe he hurt himself during the process..?

Those people who were questioning my character a few minutes ago came up showing their fake concern for me.

"Ma'am is something wrong? We heard some weird noises." That lady from before asked being interested in other's lives because of the lack of her own.

"I-I...w-we...h-he...." I struggled with choosing the right words to describe the messily disgusting situation to them. Y/N, not that he was completely naked. I told my overdriven self.

Luckily enough, the door opened. A hand snaked around my waist making me tensed but my head cleared out when I realized it was Taehyung.

"Nothing...we were just you know." He winked with a playboy smirk plastered along his features. The staff bowed and walked away. Taehyung closed the door shut.
