Ch - 8 Contract... ✏️📜
Taehyung's pov
THE NEXT MORNING, was as usual. Mr. Jeon bring in my coffee and bagel go through my schedule, confirming two meeting I had outside.
"I won't be back this afternoon. Personal business and u can take the rest of the afternoon off."
"pardon me??"
I sighed "Mr. Jeon can u not understand English? Take the afternoon off."
"But..."
I pinned him with a glare. "take the afternoon off." I lowered my voice "and my place at 7 okay?"
He nodded "I understand"
"if u need anything -business related -mail me. Otherwise, it needs to wait."
He breathed out "okay."
It was a common knowledge that company's human resource DEPT. monitored the emails. Can't take any chance, well I have my cellphone for which only some have access but there's no point asking Mr. Jeon, as money seems limited.
"you can go." I dismissed him.
He hesitated before drawing an envelope from the notepad and placed it on my table, and left without a word. I took a bite of my bagel and reached for the envelope.
It was a list about him. Things I should know - pertinent dates, favorite colors, food, music, general likes and dislikes.
It was a good idea. It would save some monotonous conversation tonight. I would too prepare a list for him later.
Mr. Jeon was punctual, arriving at sharp seven. I opened the door letting him in took his coat-the whole time silent. There was a stiffness between us that has to change, but I don't know how to do it.
"I ordered Chinese." expecting to start a conversation.
"you didn't have to."
"believe me. You don't want me cooking. You won't survive... Or we can say kitchen won't survive."
"I like to cook" he offered a small smile curving on his lips. That was a good start.
"I had a contract drawn up this afternoon. You should read it."
"okay."
"I make a list just like yours. You can go through it and we need to talk about what's on it. Make sure we're both comfortable with the facts."
He nodded and took the proffered envelope.
With a small smile I pushed another one. "your first payment." He glanced at me... Not touching the envelope. "Take it. It's all documented." Still, he didn't touch it.
"Mr. Jeon unless you take it, we can't go forward."
He frowned.
"It's a job jungkook. This is ur compensation. Simple. Take it. "
Finally, he picked it without looking at it.
"I want you to resign tomorrow. Effective immediately."
"why?"
"I want u out of there before shit hits the fan. We can play like I have proposed u for my fiancée today and I want u to leave the job and we are moving in together."
He stays silent.
"what??" I snapped, impatient.
"what if it doesn't work out? Will you... Will you give me a letter of reference? I have to look for another job."
"I've got that covered, if it doesn't work out I'll leave Seoul. I know two companies, I know will offer you a job. You don't have to worry about job hunting. And if you don't like it than you can say no and I'll give you a glowing letter of recommendation. "
A knock on the door bring us out from this stressed convo. I rose to my feet -" dinner is here. Read the contract - it's very simple. We can discuss it after we eat. "
When he opened his mouth to protest, I slammed my hand on the counter." stop arguing with me Jungkook, we're having our dinner and then we'll talk."
I spun on my heel and headed to the door. Why was he so against accepting a simple meal? I slipped my hand in my pocket, encountering the small box I have hidden away. If he was unsure of dinner, then he is going to hate what I had in store for him after.
Dinner was quiet. He read the contract and asked some questions which I answered. Then I handed him the pen signed the contract, watching as I did the same.
"I'll have two copies, one for each of us. You can destroy it after the end of our agreement."
"all right."
I handed him a box"this is a new cellphone. I programmed my personal number in it so you can text me freely. "
He bit his lip, accepting the box." thank you. "
" How much stuff do u have to move in? "
" not much. "
" should I hire a moving company?"
He shook his head, eyes down casted,"it's only a few boxes."
I frowned, "no furniture?"
"no. Some books, a few personal pieces and my clothes."
"you can donate ur clothes back to Goodwill as I presume most of them. Come from there only" I spoke without thinking.
His cheeks flushed, eyes flashed dark and angry but he didn't said anything.
"um.. I'll help u in moving ur boxes here."
I handed him another envelope. "this is your new bank account and debit card. I'll make sure there are appropriate funds in it all the time."
He accepted the envelope with shaky hands.
"well we need to spend more time with each other, at Saturday I need you here early as much as possible as I have make arrangements for ur makeup and hair. In fact u could stay here at Friday night to save u the trip."
"Stay over? "
"let me just show u the place."
He didn't say a word whole time and was deadly silent when we get to the stairs for bedroom. I showed him, guest rooms, den, private gym, pool the whole condo.
I indicated the guest room, "this one has a private en suite. I assume you'd like it."
"you don't ah. . .?"
"I don't what?"
"you don't expect me to sleep in your room." he sounded relieved.
I smirked at his uncertainty "Mr. Jeon, this is a business arrangement. Outside these wall. We'll appear as a couple but in here we are real I won't bother u and expect nothing from u." I couldn't help the dry chuckle that escaped. "you didn't really think I would sleep with you"
His head snapped and he glare at me, "no more than I'd want to sleep with you Mr. Kim."
he marched down the hallways and I following still with a smirk on my face.
At reaching living room, he whirled around"you asked me to do this Mr. Kim. Not the other way around. "
" you agreed.."
" I'm doing this because I don't have any option. Ur decisions are affecting my life and I'm still keeping it. if u r not going to be polite or behave like a decent person this is not going to work out"
" I apologize. Now what else do you Want me to do Mr. Jeon.? He hesitated. "spit it out!"
"you can't um... You can't mess around. . . While we're together."
"mess around?"
He looked everywhere but at me "you can't sleep with other women or men. I won't be humiliated like that."
"so you're saying I can't fuck anyone?"
His cheeks got so red like ripe tomato. Still he nervously look at me "yes".
This was too fun.
"yes. I can fuck around?"
"No! "
"no fucking" pressuring the last word."you want me to stay celibate the whole time?"
" I will be so I want you to do the same."
"well, I doubt that it's something new for u Mr. Jeon." I snorted.
He threw up his hand. "that's it. You wanna fuck someone??
"Go fuck yourself Kim."
To be continued......
This is just a starting...
What else is going to happen?
