18: Not Normal
Ignore mistakes, please
Third person P.O.V
Jungkook entered his mansion with a scowl as his father was already there. Taking off his coat, he made his way to his room but was halted by a stern voice.
"Come here." Mr. Jeon said and Jungkook rolled his eyes but complied, grumbling under his breath.
"Explain this." Mr. Jeon threw his cell phone in front of Jungkook who just ignored his own face on the screen.
"I was drunk."
"Behave Jungkook.. you are the CEO of a famous company. Don't you dare to ruin my reputation like that! Who was the boy? Why did you do that? And what about the girl behind you?" Mr. Jeon spat in anger, throwing question after question at the younger.
"Dad... I told you it was a mistake. I was just drunk. And.. I- I don't know h- him." He replied a bit unsure of his words, avoiding eye contact with his father.
"You don't know him?? Still, you slapped him in front of all the high-class people? Jungkook, stop with your nonsense." The older of the two slammed his hands on the table and Jungkook flinched because it was rare for Mr. Jeon to get this much angry. He was always treated like a spoiled child but right now .. scene was different.
"I am sorry Dad. I promise it won't happen again." Blinking a bit, he apologized in a soft voice and Mr. Jeon nodded his head, rubbing his temple.
"Fine. You almost ruined the best deal with Han's Enterprise." Jungkook raised his brows in confusion.
"Well. The good thing is.. they didn't get the pictures and videos. Thanks to your manager who worked hard to overcome your problem." Jungkook just hung his head low in shame, silently listening to his father.
"This weekend, we are going to arrange a party and I am going to announce your engagement with Mr. Han's daughter." Mr. Jeon said in a calm tone but Jungkook didn't get that.
"Engagement?? But dad I didn't even know her. Why so hurry?" That was really unexpected, and he tried to protest as much as he could.
"Don't start Jungkook. I've already decided that. She is an elegant and beautiful girl, it would be a good way to promote our business as well." Mr. Jeon announced with finality, sounding nonchalant, and got up, sighing afterward, looking tired.
"I don't want any other trouble, son." With that, he left the mansion leaving a confused but surprised Jungkook.
"What the hell." Once the older male was out, Jungkook clenched his fists and threw the cushion from the couch on the floor in frustration.

"Hey... I am here." Jimin chirped in front of Taehyung who was standing on the side of the counter as it wasn't rushy at that hour.
Hearing the extremely cheery voice, Taehyung just rolled his eyes in annoyance, that blond male was getting on his nerves.
"What do you need, SIR?" He forced the word, sir, trying to feign a smile too and Jimin dramatically clenched his coat, closing his eyes.
"Even poison will work.." He said with a dramatic sigh.
"Oh Hello Jimin. How are you?" Before Taehyung could retort to him, Jin entered the hall and greeted the bubbly blond.
"Hi Hyung, I am good I think. How about you?" Jimin bit his lips lightly, controlling his smile at the expression Taehyung was bearing while moving towards him.. giving a quick hug to the elder.
Taehyung was surprised to see the closeness but didn't say anything and preferred to move from there but just when he turned back.. he again heard him.
"Where are you going, Mr. Taehyung? Isn't it rude to leave your customer like that?" The blond, extremely cheery male said with a serious tone to which Taehyung turned back with a frown but after taking a loud sigh, he controlled himself from snapping. Jin was silently watching him with curiosity.. how will he react, and definitely, disappointing him was the least he could afford now.
"What is your order? Please have a seat." Wearing a small smile, Taehyung said with a professional attitude and Jimin pouted.
"Fine, I need a cup of coffee with the manager of the restaurant." He stated casually, taking a seat on a comfortable chair... not before winking at Jin who quickly got the hint.
Taehyung frowned deeper and opened his mouth but closed it quickly.
"I am not free Sir. Just wait a minute, your coffee will be served. If you need anything else please let us know." Taehyung politely gave a small bow and turned back again.
"Oh, God. Why he is always so angry?" Jimin huffed, putting his elbow on the table to support his chin watching the brunet walking away. Jin laughed while shaking his head.
"I don't know.. he is special like that with you," Finding the situation amused, Jin said with a smile which only widened at the extraordinary response from the other.
"What? Why me? Am I that bad to him? Damn.. I saved him in the club. I carried him twice with these handsome and muscular arms.. why he hates me?" Jimin blabbered again while pouting and Jin couldn't control his laughter so he took his leave.
Glancing back at the miserable blond who was sighing after every second, Jin chuckled and walked to Taehyung.
"Tae." He called for the brunet who was spacing out at the counter.
"Um.. yes Hyung?"
"You are free for now. There aren't any more customers.. why don't you just have a coffee with Jimin?" He said softly with a smile.
"But Hyung-"
"Please. He is a nice guy, Tae. He even helped me with you. Please at least thank him."
After thinking for a while, Taehyung agreed and nodded his head. Jin patted his shoulder with a smile, happy that he agreed just for his sake, and left.
A waiter served coffee on the table where Jimin was sitting, he put two cups to which the blond reacted with a pout.
"I just ordered one." With a polite smile, he said to the waiter who just smiled in turn and pointed towards Taehyung who was coming to the table.
Jimin just watched him in awe as his head was hanging low, setting the cuffs of the coat. His black and brown locks fell on his eyes, and his pale yet sun-tanned skin was flawless.. his lips were turned into a cute pout as he was so much immersed in whatever he was doing.
Drunk in the view, Jimin gulped when his gaze fell on the slim feminine waist of the other.
Oh God.. help me. I am in trouble...
He felt the heat in his body just by looking at the brown-haired with a little attention and ended up scolding himself for sounding so dirty.
"Stop staring like a pervert." He heard the same deep, melodic voice and quickly pursed his lips tightly, averting his eyes to the cup of hot coffee, cursing under his breath because he could feel the heat on his cheeks as well.
Damn, don't tell me I am blushing.. oh no...
He again thought and peeked through his bangs to the other who was now sitting in front of him, looking everywhere but not at him.
He is so pretty... beautiful.. and fragile..
He thought while smiling like a fool, but his smile dropped when Taehyung gave him a sudden glare, and it took a millisecond as he got confused and took the cup of coffee, quickly taking a big sip of the hot liquid.
"Shit.. ahh.." The burn over his tongue made him curse, placing the cup back on the table, all credit to the coffee, or maybe the person sitting in front of him. Biting his tongue in between his teeth, he was fanning his burnt flesh.
"Here.. drink some water." He heard the concerned voice of the person, none other than Taehyung who was offering him water. He took the glass and gulped the cold water to soothe the burning sensation.
There was an awkward silence for a moment.
Why am I feeling so shy? Damn.. wait he accepted my offer? Wah.. my first date with him..
A sinister smile spread on his thoughts, his eyes disappeared due to the big grin that was on his face from ear to ear.
"Are you sure you are a normal person?" Taehyung asked nonchalantly, creeping out of the way Jimin was spacing out with a weird smile.
"Huh? Oh, wait. Yeah, I am normal. Well, not normal. I have a high level." Jimin snickered, moving his hand a little high to show the height.
Taehyung ignored him and took another sip from his cup. He wasn't in the mood to talk with anyone.. especially with some rich brat? No way. He got enough lessons from his previous foolishness. But he had to thank the other, taking the courage to say those words, he finally give his attention to the blond who was already staring at him with soft eyes.
"Thank you." Taehyung whispered, ignoring the looks Jimin was giving him.
"For what?"
"For helping me.. yesterday night and.. that n- night." Taehyung fidgetted with his fingers, trying hard not to remember the whole night.
Jimin looked up at Taehyung fighting with his emotions, giving a slight pinch in his heart. "I just wanted to do so." He said... careful with his words.
"You pitied me?" Taehyung's gaze changed within seconds when he looked up at the blond with a blank face.
"No no. I didn't. Don't take me wrong, Taehyung." The friendly behavior of the blond was irritating him.. he was feeling suffocated by the words.
"Why you are chasing me?" His voice become sterner and Jimin frowned, it was all fine a few moments ago but they were getting back to zero now.
"I didn't chase you. I just want to know you."
"But I don't want to, so stay away from me. I am not interested in any kind of relationship with anyone." Taehyung retorted and got up from the chair, his face turning blank again.
"Don't act like that Tae. You can't live alone... you need someone in your life-"
"You don't know anything.. so just don't stick your nose." Taehyung snapped at him and turned back to leave.
"I want to know... I want to know everything about you.. and I will. I will make sure that this time you know the importance of people who really are sincere with you." Jimin said loud enough so that Taehyung could hear that and he did.. but he didn't stop.
"I will make sure Tae... to give you all the happiness you deserve," Jimin mumbled, taking his phone from the table, paying for coffee, and leaving the restaurant.
From the counter, Taehyung saw him leaving the restaurant with a sad look.. he saw him entering an expensive black car when a driver opened the door for him.
"You all are the same," The broken male mumbled and wiped the tears that were threatening to fall from his doe eyes, not wanting any sort of pity from anyone.
"I hate you Jeon Jungkook.. I wish you suffer for playing with someone's feelings.." Sucking a deep breath, he mumbled again and took his steps towards the restroom to wash his face.

"Why this restaurant, dad?" Jungkook asked bewildered when he found that the event was arranged in Jin's restaurant.
"Why not? Mr. Kim is also invited here and we have very good terms with him. On top of that, SeokJin is best with such events. Now go and greet those guests." Mr. Jeon stated with a smile and left to greet others.
Taehyung was dressed in a red and black suit, a dress code for the events in the restaurant. He was wearing black dress pants and a black coat with red linings, looking ethereal as ever.. formally talking with waiters and checking up the settings.
He wasn't aware of the fact that Mr. Jeon is actually Jungkook's father even when he was the one who talked with him about the settings personally. Jin also didn't tell him anything about that.. as he could feel that Taehyung was avoiding Jungkook.
Taehyung was looking for Mr. Jeon but he couldn't find him so one of the workers told him to meet Mr. Jeon's son. So he decided to look for him.
With the help of his waiters, he found the raven-haired standing, talking casually with someone. Their attire was screaming expensive and Taehyung was feeling so much uncomfortable but had to cope with the situation due to his job.
"Excuse me, Mr. Jeon." Taking a deep breath, he called the other and when the raven-haired turned back, his heart thumped loudly in his chest... not due to some kind of good feeling... but due to anger and frustration.
Jungkook turned back when he heard the deep voice, having an idea of who was there. But he had no idea why he felt nervous to face him after that night. Somehow he turned back to face the other only to feel his breath hitched .. why? Because Taehyung was looking ethereal... his beautiful eyes widened in surprise, face paler than before but lips soft and pink as ever, but Jungkook could feel the anger rising in his body.
"Yes?" He used all of his courage to sound normal.
Taehyung didn't reply as all the moments from that night came into his eyes, crushing his already broken heart... how that male insulted him.. how he slapped him as if he was nothing.
Jungkook saw Taehyung's jaw clenched and the same with his fists, his knuckles turned white and his eyes got red, kind of alarming.
"Oh.. Taehyung. I am here.." Before anyone of them could utter another word, a blond came in between them.
Park Jimin was also invited to the party being the CEO of Park's companies, a vast business in Korea. When the said boy entered the main hall, he just searched for the brunet and when he found him in front of Jungkook he couldn't think properly and decided to jump in.
Taehyung looked back at him with the same expression but Jungkook frowned when Jimin came forward and sneaked his hand on Taehyung's waist.
"Oh, Hi Mr. Jeon.. how are you? Um-sorry, I have to leave." Jimin flashed a fake smile to the raven-haired and Jungkook just watched him with surprise.
"Tae.. come here, I want you to meet my cousin," Jimin averted his attention to the boy in his arm and guided Taehyung with him... his hand still resting on Taehyung's waist.
Taehyung was still angry with Jungkook but somehow he didn't say anything to Jimin who just took him to a corner.. and when they got there where no one can notice them, Taehyung yanked his hand from his waist and stomped back to Jin's office, not before giving him a death glare.
Jimin just sighed, looking dejected seeing Taehyung angrier.
On contrary, Jungkook was standing in a daze. He shouldn't be affected by the scene, the way that Park sneaked his hand through that slim waist... he shouldn't feel like that when Taehyung was dragged away from him.. he shouldn't feel like that...
But he felt it, something not so normal... he felt the jealousy... and he was sure of it.
