Update! 😭♥
Late because I'm injured .___.

Jimin's blood drained away from his face and he went pale. The man he had just hurt, now stood in front of him once again. It was as if fate was pushing them towards each other.

Jungkook pursed his lips seeing Jimin this way. He knew it would startle him but right now Jimin looked shattered and nervous. Jungkook would never want him to feel this way. Jimin bowed and managed to smile at him before he suddenly left.

Jungkook looked back at the CEO and smiled. And went to his own cabin. The place was huge, and he sat on a black plush chair behind a huge wooden table. He rested his head on the table as he breathed in and out trying to get a grip over himself.

Jimin rushed to a washroom and shut himself in as he sobbed against the door. This was going to be too much for him, and why would Jungkook put himself through this? Did he seriously just buy the company to be near him? And if so, then why?

Jimin wiped his tears and stormed out and towards his cabin and pushed the glass door open.
"What is wrong with you?" He said suddenly and Jungkook shot his head up.
"Jimin.." he got up but Jimin raised his hand up and signalled him to stop.
"Why? You can have any company! Then why here? Is it just to make my life miserable? You know I can't afford to be unemployed! I have a child!" Jimin said frustrated.
"Jimin it's not what you think.." Jungkook tried.
" And what do you think you'll do by buying this company? Did you think we'll just end up together if we met everyday? Wake up! We're not going to be together!" Jimin said suddenly, and Jungkook halted and clenched his jaw. Jimin saw his expression fall again, he couldn't look at him so he looked away and sighed.

Jungkook gulped as he fought back his urge to either yell at him or cry.
"Jimin. I did not buy the company. My father did, he did-- I have a liking for music, he thought I could expand the empire towards the music industry as well. It's simply that. " Jungkook said plainly as he stepped closer to Jimin who was still looking away.

Jimin laughed sarcastically and then spoke.
"Why this company?"
"My father wanted me to start with a smaller company before going into the big three. That's all. I'm not even your boss, you'd barely see me since you don't have to directly report to me. Ever.  " Jungkook explained, he was now so close to Jimin. His scent was hitting him, he was within his reach to just hold and kiss but he couldn't. Jimin gulped and looked up at him and their eyes locked.

He noticed the bruise on his jaw and his puffy swollen eyes. He looked tired and his eyes weren't twinkling at all. Jimin's heart shattered knowing he was the reason behind this.
"What happened to your jaw?" He asked suddenly and made Jungkook look away then back off.
"Jungkook? Did you get into a fight!?" Jimin asked concerned.

"Sorry, I'm late!" They both heard a voice and tall lanky boy walked in behind Jimin. His black hair was parted to the side, he wore a white shirt and navy blue trousers.

He suddenly hugged Jungkook. Jimin arched an eyebrow at his behavior, the hug was completely inappropriate, Jungkook was quick to push his arms off but the boy pecked his cheek anyway.

"Oh I'm sorry. I didn't notice you there. " He smiled at Jimin apologetically.
"Park Jimin. " Jimin managed to extend his hand.
"Kim Mingyu. " He shook his hand.

"I'm your new boss, I guess. Pleasure meeting you. " Mingyu smiled. Jimin gulped seeing him wrap his around Jungkook's waist but managed to nod and smile. Jungkook again removed Mingyu's arm and rolled his eyes, but Jimin was too flustered and he quickly exited.

Jimin rolled his eyes as he walked out. Jungkook was clearly not interested in Mingyu then why was he still being so touchy.
"Tall ass whore.." Jimin's conscience laughed, but Jimin was feeling really low now.

"Can you not?" Jungkook walked away from Mingyu.
"You've changed a lot.." Mingyu smirked at him.
"You should too. Grow up. " Jungkook said sarcastically.
"Maybe. Maybe not." Mingyu whispered in his ear and walked off to his own cabin. Jungkook almost cringed physically but then went back to his chair and got busy on the phone talking about contracts.

The day was very tiring for Jimin, he had gotten so drained emotionally that he could barely function throughout the day. The new girls thanked him and left around 6, Jimin sighed and walked out and went downstairs to the choreography section. He saw Taemin and Jih dancing to random songs and chuckled.

"Dad!" Jih beamed and ran up to him when he spotted him.
"Hi, baby!" Jimin hugged him tightly.
"Uncle Taemin is teaching me new moves. You want to see?" Jih jumped and all the employees around beamed.
"Sure!"
"Okay!" Jih began dancing the in the cutest way possible. His moonwalk was basically him walking backwards by actually lifting his feet as if he were marching. Jimin laughed and clapped for him as did Taemin.

"I hope he didn't trouble you!" Jimin said as the three of them began walking downstairs.
"He's a delightful little cutie!" Taemin pinched Jih's nose.

As they walked out of the huge reception area on the ground floor, laughing and talking about their days. Jimin's voice became timid, he didn't know how to tell Taemin about it.
"Did you meet the new... New owner?" Jimin asked softly.
"No I couldn't! I was so damn busy and then the guy got busy with meetings. Why? Is he a nightmare?" Taemin laughed and Jimin shrugged.

"Jih?" The three of them heard and turned around. Jih's eyes widened seeing the red hair on Jungkook and he instantly beamed.
"Ironman!" Jih smiled and Jungkook extended his arms out to him for a hug.

Jih was holding Jimin's hand, he instantly looked up at his father who looked sad. He remembered Jimin getting angry and he just halted in his place and his expression fell. Jungkook noticed how Jih took a step back closer to Jimin, his sad eyes still looking at Jungkook, he simply bowed looking at him and then looked back down still holding Jimin's hand.

Jungkook lowered his hands, as his heart shattered into a billion pieces. He subconsciously glared at Jimin as he fought back his tears, and huffed and walked out. Jimin held Jih's hand tighter as he felt a pang of guilt take over. He felt horrible for what he had done unknowingly, pulled Jih away from Jungkook and Jungkook away from Jih.

Jimin looked at Taemin who smiled at him sadly.
"Let's go for a walk. " Taemin stroked his back and Jimin nodded and wiped a silent tear.

The drive was silent, as Jimin looked out of the window. Not finding the courage to say a single word but his silence told Taemin everything.

Jimin, Taemin and Jih went to a park and sat on a bench as Jih played on the swings while he ate an ice cream. Taemin and Jimin looked at him and smiled, when Jimin felt Taemin hold his hand.

"So.. Jungkook?" Taemin looked at him and Jimin nodded.
"What happened?" Taemin sighed and asked as a calming wind blew.
"I.. "
"Love him?" Taemin asked and Jimin looked down and shook his head.
"Yeah you do. " Taemin pinched his nose.
" So did he walk out of the house after the sex or?" Taemin asked bluntly and Jimin rolled his eyes at him and Taemin shrugged. Jimin shook his head as he could not find the energy to talk, his throat hurting from choking back tears.

"He said he loved me and he said he wanted to take care of me and Jih.."  Jimin managed to say and Taemin's eyes widened.
"Then where's the problem?!" Taemin asked confused.
"Really? You know everything Taemin! How can I just... I can't risk this again! He's going to get bored eventually! And then--" Jimin said overwhelmed by everything but couldn't talk further as he looked away.
" I don't want Jih to suffer."

Taemin let out a huge sigh before talking.
"Jimin. If the guy is willing to make the effort, give him a chance at least. Not everyone has it in them to leave behind their pride and beg for a chance. He loves you and you love him, it'll be a waste of you throw this away. " Taemin tightened his grip on his hand.

"Look, I know you are scared after what happened. But trust me, I have never seen Jih happier than he is around Jungkook. And I could see you being happy around him too. "
"He's going to leave. "
"Jimin, that's a risk with every relationship, you just have to let people in before you can see if they stay or leave. And we both know he's not leaving. " Taemin smiled.

"Jimin, he wasn't saying it all to get into your pants. He didn't have to say anything, he already got into your pants. If sex is all he wanted, he wouldn't have stayed. He didn't have to. " Taemin explained and Jimin hit him lightly.
"Hey! You know I'm right." Taemin beamed at him and Jimin sighed and nodded.

"But I... I messed up. I.."
"Doesn't matter. Everyone messes up. He did too, it was bit sudden, you both need to sit down and talk. " Taemin said sweetly and Jimin looked at him as his tears fell and Taemin wiped them off with his thumb and hugged him. Jimin sat hugging him, and breathed out.
"I love you, Taeminie. " Jimin cried softly.
"I love you too, Jiminie. " Taemin kissed his head.
"Just talk, okay?" Taemin said and Jimin nodded.

"And then maybe fuck a little bit.." he whispered to Jimin, who gasped and hit him on the chest and laughed.

Jih ran up to them and hugged them both.
"WHY ARE YOU HUGGING WITHOUT ME?" he pouted and snuggled up to them.
"You aren't sad, are you, dad?" Jih sat up and looked at his face.
"No, Jih. " Jimin hugged him and Taemin kissed his head.

"Let's go home. " Jimin picked Jih up and Taemin beamed at them.
"Race to the car!" Taemin laughed and bolted and Jih and Jimin ran too.
___________________________________

Jungkook was so upset when he reached home that he simply wanted to punch a hole in a wall and call it a day. He pulled his shirt open, and sat on his bed, panting in anger and dismay.

After showering he went downstairs, his chest was hurting so bad. Jih bowing to him formally was so much more hurtful than anyone could imagine. It was about 4am, and he couldn't sleep. He needed to vent out his feelings but he couldn't, he just couldn't cry.

Jungkook entered his Grandma's room, she was fast asleep but kept the side lamp on.
"Kookie!" She mumbled and hugged him.
"I can't sleep. " Jungkook said exhausted, and she was reminded of the time he was a baby and couldn't sleep because his parents were fighting or when he had nightmares about her and his Grandfather leaving him.

She sat up and smiled and patted her lap. Jungkook put his head on her lap and she stroked his hair as she sang his favorite lullaby, Jungkook found himself getting weaker and weaker.
"I saw Jih.." he mumbled.
"And?"
"He was so formal with me... He treated me like a stranger.." Jungkook said closing his eyes.

"Does it remind you of someone?" She asked softly and  he got reminded of his parents instantly. Maybe that's how they felt when Jungkook acted like he didn't want to be around them.

He was finally in his parents' shoes.
