Jungkook's Pov

"I trust you Jeon Jungkook", her voice echoed through my ears and I smiled at that. Her petite figure is now in my embrace and I can't help but adore the girl who has stolen my heart. My phone rang disturbing the beautiful moment.

"What is the important matter that made you disturb my pleasant morning hyung?", I asked him, clearly disinterested to talk to him at the moment.

"I just wanted to tell you that we cleared everything. Nothing will be leaked outside since Appa got involved and also the one who got humiliated is Mr. Yamaguchi. What happened in the banquet hall will stay in the banquet hall. okay?", he assured and I smiled.

"It's okay even if it is revealed. I don't at all pity that old fag. I just don't want Hana to be the center of attention for that filthy being's wrongdoings", I stated while looking at her. She is still asleep on my chest and I made sure to position myself that would disturb her sleep.

"I know. I know. I am also in the business field", he told and I let out a chuckle.

"Now, go and concentrate on the drama, leave the business to me. I know you are trying to balance but I told you, you don't need to. If you really want to step in, do it while you are not into any shooting. Don't stress yourself okay?", I spoke expressing my concern.

"Oh My God! Why do you sound like the eldest now? It sounds funny from your mouth though", he joked and I sighed. I should not have told those words to him.

"Even Yoongi is showing his concern these days, I don't know why. Is something wrong with you both? Are you guys talking without me? Seriously? I am going to disown both of you, now", he started blabbering and I regretted those words now.

"Yoongi hyung, first of all, sleeps like a rock. And every time we have a conference, he yells at us for disturbing his sleep and you are asking me if we are talking without me? Wow. Hyung, don't overreact and go to your shoot now", I told him.

"Before that, Ara is calling me. Bye", he hung the call without even listening to me and I smiled. She has him wrapped around her fingers and I am happy for that. Ara noona deserves all the happiness in the world. 

Jin hyung has been busy with a new drama and on the other side, he is involving in some important business works. The businesses are expanding at a rapid rate and Yoongi hyung gave up telling that he isn't born for stocks and stuff. Appa had to employ another professional entrepreneur to replace him. To make it less burdened to me, he was checking some business projects though I told him it was okay. He will never change.

"Jungkook", I looked at her waking up.

"Good Morning", I greeted her and she smiled.

"I wish we could wake up like this every day", I told her and kissed her forehead. Her expression changed and I mentally smacked myself for those words. We decided to not bring up those topics. She then smiled and walked to the wardrobe.

"Shall I bath first?", she asked and I nodded. She went in with her clothes and I scrolled my phone to check for any news and gladly the stocks are at a good rise. I need to prepare for the conference tomorrow and that's when an idea struck my mind

End of Jungkook's Pov

#####

"Jungkook, what are you doing?", Hana whispered as he back hugged her in the lift. She is scared if someone would see them when the doors open at their floor. As the doors opened, Jungkook let her and Hana rushed to her cabin while blushing.

"Mrs. Oh, get me the list of all the attendees and the businessmen attending the conference. Will Mr. Yamaguchi be present?", he asked and she nodded checking her tablet.

"Sir, I have already forwarded the list and the whole schedule to Miss Hana. And Mr. Yamaguchi will also be there", she showed him the list and he nodded quickly, glancing at the list. 

"Mr. Kim mailed to us to take care of the tourism branch in the conference and also mentioned that Mr. Kim Seokjin will not be attending", she told him and he nodded. He knew his Jin hyung will not be arriving. And he also understood why his father asked him to talk about the new tourism branch we are starting.

"I will manage Mrs. Oh. ", he told her and she smiled, walking away from him. He walked into his office and called Hana.

"How may I help you sir?", she came and he noticed her teasing tone.

"Well! Since you called me sir, you very well know how you can help me darling", he played along but changed his voice a bit and her cheeks turned red. He smirked at that and walked to her.

"That's not the reason I called you though. I have a favor to ask from you", he spoke and she looked at him in confusion.

"My throat is not in a good condition and it's kind of paining", he told her changing his tone.

"Do you want me to get the medicine and warm water?", she asked and he shook his head in negation. He scratched his nape and looked at her nervously.

"You need to speak for me tomorrow", he blurted out and she widened her eyes.

"What the hell Jungkook? Are you out of mind? What do you mean by me?", she asked looking at him in disbelief. Talking in front of many top businessmen on a topic she doesn't know is definitely absurd.

"See Hana, I will guide you. I will tell you what you must speak and how you must deal with the questions", he spoke in the broken voice.

"Questions?", her eyes popped out of the sockets and he held her shoulder.

"Jungkook, I will get you the medicine as well as some warm water. If you drink hot soups, it will go away. Your voice will be fine Jungkook, don't worry", she spoke nervously and he shook his head in negation.

"Jungkook, your voice was well before.  It will get well soon. You can do it", she smiled at him, trying to convince him but he shook his head in negation. 

"Hana, I know you are nervous. But I will be by your side there. I will be with you in the whole meeting", he held her hand and rubbed his thumb smoothly over her wrist. She frowned and shook her head in negation.

"Jungkook, I swear I can't do that. Ask Mrs. Oh or someone else. I am sure I will screw it, without a doubt", Hana stated, completely fret at his decision.

"I asked Mrs. Oh, Hana. She is having some personal work tomorrow and I didn't want to trouble her", he spoke still in his cracked tone and she frowned. She desperately wanted to escape this situation. She knows she sucks at talking on something she doesn't know.

"Hana, let's start your training", he held her hand and started walking towards the couch in the office.

"But, Jungkook..", she tried to protest again but he shushed her by placing his index finger on her lips. 

"Don't you trust me?", he asked her and she stayed silent. She can't trust herself in this case.

"It's not the case Jungkook", he interrupted her again.

"I trust you, Hana. I chose you because I know you can do it and won't let my hopes down", he spoke with sincerity in his tone and she nodded. She doesn't want to let his hopes down, though deep down, she is hell nervous.

He started telling her how the conference starts and what happens every year. Some businessmen state about their profits and also their stability in the trade market. Some talk about their startups and some talk about their upcoming projects. It doesn't have a specification for a certain person to speak about a certain topic. It's a normal gathering of the country's businessman.

He told her the new tourism plan from their company and that it is not yet imposed. He talked to her about the pros of the project and also mentioned the cons, and how they would be countering them. 

She concentrated on what he is speaking and made sure to mentally note down everything. She knew it's hard and most importantly, meaningless for her to take up the part representing his company, but Jungkook is the only reason she accepted.

"Have lunch and just check on the document again okay?", he told her and she nodded still unsure if she can do it or not. There's not even a day left for her to prepare. She walked out of the room as he mailed the document to her PC and took a sigh.

"Ugh this is so hard", she exclaimed holding her head.

"Ugh! This is so hard", Jungkook cleared his throat. It's really hard to pretend on having a sore throat, he thought and let out a sigh

#####

"Perfect", he exclaimed seeing her in his favorite color.

"Jungkook, I am scared", she fidgeted with her fingers, shaking in nervousness. He chuckled seeing her all shaky and held her hands.

"I am not scared at all", he told her and planted a soft kiss on her right wrist. She smiled at that, nevertheless, her gut is not ready for the presentation. She made sure to wear the most modest and classy dress available. She didn't even let the man sleep the whole night bombarding him with all the questions swirling in his mind.

"Just look into my eyes and speak okay? Everything will be alright", he spoke softly and she nodded. She was the one who boosted the confidence of Jungkook, once upon a time and now it's the reverse. 

She smiled and walked inside the huge conference hall. There were press and many important businessmen who smiled at them and they greeted back. Her father was not present because his business was not lit, yet in the country. He was more popular in Sydney than Seoul.

"Great to see you here, young lad", Mr. Ahn greeted them and they smiled.

"Mr. Ahn, great to see you too", Jungkook hugged him and Hana bowed.

"What's wrong with your voice? Eating too many desserts huh?", he asked and Jungkook scratched his nape, letting out a cheeky smile.

"You've got your date here too?", he asked in surprise and Jungkook chuckled.

"No, she is not my date today.", he stated and the man stared him in surprise.

"She will be representing Kim Corp today", he told him making his eyes widen.

"Oh My God! Does she work for your company? That's nice. Good luck then, Miss", he wished her in his usual cheerful tone and she smiled mumbling a small thanks. They got seated into their seats and Hana caught the attention of Mr. Yamaguchi who got seated just opposite to them.

"I know he is here. Don't worry. If anyone tries to question anything, speak confidently. If not, leave the answer to me", she smiled at his words and maintained her calm. 

The event started with the host congratulating everyone on their respective business and then the businessmen started giving their briefing. And then it was Kim Corp's turn. Everyone looked at the prince of Kim Corp and he looked at his princess. 

Gathering all the courage she had, she stood up and walked to the podium. Mr. Yamaguchi had a sly smirk on his face and Jungkook displayed a victorious one. She walked showing a bright smile on her face, covering all the nervousness behind the gorgeous demeanor she held.

"Kim Corporation firstly wishes you warm greetings and a very pleasant evening. We are glad to be present in this honorable event and thank you for inviting us. I, Do Hana would be addressing the briefing of Kim Corporation this year", she spoke with confidence and looked into Jungkook's eyes. He showcased an assuring smile and she continued. The lights were off and she spoke about their upcoming project and everyone listened to her with great concentration. 

As she completed the presentation, everyone clapped and she displayed a warm smile. A hand raised and everyone looked at the man. Jungkook knitted his brows looking at the old man and waited for him to speak.

"Wouldn't the financial management crumble when you provide the best facilities at a reasonable rate?", he asked in a cocky tone. Hana looked at Jungkook and he didn't do anything. Instead, he let out a smirk and she nervously held the microphone, composing herself.

"The plan was proposed to allow having a happy vacation at a reasonable rate. If the service is satisfying and promising, the number of customers will be more, reducing the risk of improper financial management. Moreover, the funds are also available in case of any unexpected financial predicament", she spoke in an affirming tone and the old man stood speechless. He didn't expect her to answer it so confidently. He got to know she works as his assistant and thought that she was just speaking what she mugged up. Jungkook stood up and showed a vanquishing smirk at the old man. He then bowed to all of them, as a sign of respect.

Hana came and sat back in her place. Had they been not in a place surrounded by people, Jungkook would have kissed her without wasting a second. He was proud of her, his girl who caught him off guard with a bold answer. He held her hands and she smiled. Now, she is relieved that she didn't mess up anything.

"My darling", he hugged her as they walked out of the hall and she reciprocated. 

"Great work Miss. You put him in place", Mr. Ahn congratulated her and she beamed. She was so happy that she did well. It was her first time and God knows how her legs were shaking behind the podium while she was doing the briefing.

"Mr. Yamaguchi", Jungkook called the elderly man and Hana widened her eyes. He held her hand and walked to him.

"What the hell Jungkook", she muttered under her breath but he didn't care. The man scowled upon seeing them.

"She is the same girl whom you disrespected them and who made you speechless now", he spoke sternly and the man was surprised at the guts of the young lad. 

"Learn to respect elders, young man", he spoke trying to maintain his calm

"I don't have any intention to disrespect you, Mr. Yamaguchi. I just want to show what women can do. They can rise to a height which we would have never expected, without us. But they stay, they stay for us, and yet, we consider them low. We cut their wings and taunt their inability to fly. Set them free and you can never scale their rise. I hope you give a thought about this", Jungkook mouthed and bowed to him, so did Hana.

"What do you want to eat? My treat", he asked and she thought for a moment.

"Don't tell me you want an egg sandwich. I am not going to buy that", he spoke and she tittered.

"Shall we have ice cream?", she asked and he shook his head in negation.

"It's cold Hana", he stated and she frowned.

"I want to eat ice cream. If you don't want to buy that, let's just head to home", she stuck onto her words and he sighed in defeat. He drove her to the ice cream parlor and her face lit in delight. 

"One raspberry and one cookie dough", she ordered and it reminded him of the old times. He smiled thinking of the beautiful past they shared, a wonderful story they created.

"I wish I could go back to the time when we were in the university", he stated as he licked his ice cream and she smiled remembering their memories.

"Me too", she blurted and he nodded. They decided to take a walk while enjoying the ice cream.

"Wait a minute! Why are you eating ice cream? And how come your voice be normal again?", she asked in surprise and Jungkook gulped down his throat.

"Jungkook?", she gave a suspicious stare and he looked down.

"Were you fine all this time?", she asked utterly dumbfounded and he nodded.

"Hana, let me explain", he tried to hold her hand she shoved him away.

"What the hell Jungkook! Do you know how my heart was thumping to speak in front of so many businessmen? Do you know how nervous I was being your company's representative? I almost lost my mind and couldn't sleep all night. I thought I would reel down on the stage.", she blabbered and he pecked her, making her stop in her tracks. She touched her lips which had the cookie dough ice cream and stood there in shock.

"Listen now pabo, I want to show him what you can do. Do you think I didn't know what he asked you that day? He disrespected you, Hana and he needs to know. I want to show him what you are and what you can do. I don't have any other reasons to defend myself", he stated and she realized why he did that. Even though she saw stars for the whole day, he isn't wrong. 

"I am sorry", she blurted and he smiled.

"I don't want that", he spoke gazing her lips.

"What do you want then?", she asked not getting the hint and he held her hand pulling her close. She gasped at his sudden action and the ice cream slipped out her hand.

"My ice cream", she frowned looking at the ice cream on the ground.

"Have mine"

And he smashed his plumps on hers.
