The universe is immense, it has no limits.

The world we know is vast, but compared to the big universe that surrounds it, our world is nothing but a speck of dust, invisible and easily played around by the slightest bit of wind.

Dust, is somehow fragile, it is definitely weak, yet, just like the concept of adding a drop to another could create a river, dust if it keeps getting accumulated in a place, it covers it.

There is a power these fragile elements hold, this one is no other than quantity.

If the quantity is all needed to make out of fragile elements powerful ones, the world only needed destiny to shield power and destiny was always ready to serve its master.

The big world we know could turn into a small alley if destiny has a hidden agenda or if humans have one under their sleeves.

Taehyung had one of these, one driven by a strong motive and complicated feelings.

The world at the end isn't that small when we look at the situation relying on the hypothesis mentioned above, meeting a person in coincidental circumstances isn't a common occurrence, and even if that is ever to happen, it cannot always be beneficial to our goals and plans, only if coincidences are planned wisely to bring the desired profit out of them, which usually requires a mastermind.

"Nice to meet you miss Y/N, I already ordered some champagne, I would like to make a toast for our success that I'm sure about".

You looked everywhere for him, you imagined every possible scenario for an eventual encounter, yet, it has never crossed your mind that he'd be the one to find you first, nor did you imagine that Jungkook would be the bridge to connect you and your lost love. Come again, was it, love?

Words were at loss, it was safe to say that your vocabulary went blank, and suddenly you lost the ability to speak, you became like a child that has never learned to speak. Rehabilitation seems a good solution for your case.

" After this brief introduction, let's take our seats and learn about each other better".

Jungkook patched the scar left behind the embarrassment you started feeling from the scrutiny Taehyung was digging on you. This Jungkook guy is really living up to his name, your savior angel.

" This deal will be of a huge profit for you too. Here, check this file and let me know your thoughts".

" I don't have a single strand of doubt, your name alone is a guarantee Jungkook-ssi."

Taehyung's face was unreadable to you, it held no lingering emotions toward you as if he never knew you before, he deserved an Oscar for his outstanding acting skills.

The food was growing cold as you kept fidgeting it with your fork, your appetite was missing, and you had no will to summon it, you knew for sure that the entire ongoing situation would only lead you to throw up anything you may allow inside your stomach.

You flinched when you felt the sudden presence of warmth caused by Jungkook's large palm on your thighs, your reaction was dramatically obvious when the echo of the fork that you dropped on the plate unwillingly summoned Taehyung's gaze on you.

" Y/N has enough experience in the field, she never lost a deal and her marketing skills are on a different level. You see Taehyung-ssi, I'm providing you with a precious gem that I usually like to keep exclusive" Jungkook's voice was firm and laced with confidence, it held along with the said words many hidden innuendos, he straightened his back as he rested his upper body against the chair and took a sip of his wine before breaking the silence that has been building, "I'll consider my message delivered Taehyung-ssi."

" Jungkook-ssi, a position doesn't seek its owner, it's the owner that seeks the position and makes it his", Taehyung's rejoinder was calm and collected, his tone as confident as Jungkook's favorite one, while twirling the glass of wine in his hold, his gaze kept shifting between the cold nectar and Jungkook's form inspecting the man's reaction before proceeding further, " I sought my chair and made sure it bows to it rightful owner".

The tension that lodged while growing bolder around the table made your insides turn, your brain wasn't able to process any of the events you were going through, you pushed roughly your chair back and stood up ready to leave the table.

"I'll excuse myself to the restroom".

You were finally able to let out a sigh that you weren't aware you held until your hand rested on the washroom's basin giving the needed support to your body, your eyes shut as you found solace in the sound of the running water from the faucet, a short-lived moment of peace that has been cut short when the faucet closed and the peaceful sound of water running down the sink stopped suddenly.

You opened your eyes and looked at the mirror only for a shiver to run down your spine as your gaze caught the reflection of the person beside you in the mirror.

You turned around rapidly to face the person that was standing dangerously close to your body, seeking some distance for your body to stand without crushing against his sturdy one, your hands gripped the basin as you leaned against it.

" I guess I should congratulate you for many reasons y/n, which one should I start with?"

Taehyung didn't consider the efforts you were putting in maintaining some distance between you and him, he actually found purpose in downing you with discomfort, as his body leaned forward while his hand rested on the basin grazing yours, his free hand got busy tucking your hair behind your ear.

" What is a doctor doing in a business meeting?"

" Change of jobs, this one is more profitable and hmm.. let me think about a proper word to describe it....comfortable I guess."

Suddenly your courage resurfaced, you straightened your body while still being caged between his arms, your eyes buried in his blaming him instead of any unspoken words about his acts, about the distance and the disappearance.

" Indeed, you're missing many potentials a doctor must have, you're not qualified Taehyung"

Instead of a verbal rejoinder to your assertions, Taehyung opted for a physical one when his hand pulled you closer to his form by your waist in a grip that would surely leave a bruise behind, he had never been soft but this time he wasn't even putting some effort to mask his roughness, he aimed to hurt you..somehow.

"Y/n, don't loosen your guards", he murmured in your ear softly making you flinch, you were breathing from his cologne, a scent oh so familiar to you that has awakened feelings you were barely keeping asleep, "I'm not only a bad doctor, but I'm also a despicable man".

As his hands retreated, he let your body free roughly, your weight dropped on the basin behind you as you kept looking at the now empty spot in which he was standing, the sound of his footsteps was unbearably tightening on your chest.

"Jungkook, I told you I'm not taking this project and it's final", you spoke for the umpteenth time while throwing your purse on the bed and running toward the porch seeking some fresh air to fill your lungs.

" The deal is sealed my dear, be wise as you were always, I really don't wanna lash at you honey"

He stood beside you, a cigarette in his mouth waiting for the lighter to burn it and for his mouth to consume it, the more you kept looking at his exquisite figure, the greater the desire to punch him straight in the face grew inside you.

But you held it back, and that was for the best, you were not a match to him, and you knew better than to be ungrateful toward the only person that helped you.

" What's the reason you're so against it y/n? It's a win-win if you think about it in a better light."

" What's your gain from it Jungkook? Cause the man I know you are don't middle in any unprofitable business."

The smirk you hated seeing on him was again plastered over his lips, the bile in your insides threatening to come out from the strong scent of his cologne that you despised with all your heart, albeit you weren't a fan of his touches you allowed him to pull you closer to him by your waist nonetheless, maintaining eye-contact all the while.

" Of course, there's gonna be a gain, for you and me, but I'm gonna let you on a secret, yours is bigger than mine believe me".

You knew Jungkook as the palm of your hand, you knew for sure that he doesn't involve himself in charity work, where there was no gain there was no Jungkook to be found.

However, what bothered you more wasn't his sadist love for money and profit, it was normal for a businessman like him to seek his gain everywhere he could, but the fact that he was using you to maximize his profit was planting red flags in the field of your brain.

Had he not done what he did in the past, you would have never considered him a sly fox the way you're doing right now.

He lost your trust years ago when he handed you that file that contained details about a scheme to bring Seokjin down, albeit your knowledge about the competitive nature of their relation, and the abhor they mutually held the one for the other, you didn't expect he would stoop as low as planting eyes and ears in Seokjin's office, nor had you ever imagined that once you would refuse his proposal, he would threaten you using your own father as the bait.

The file detailed a plan that could turn all the shareholders of Seokjin's company against him, Jungkook had laid a perfect plan to accuse your ex-husband of embezzlement of the company funds, and not only, but he also made sure to integrate different situations that could only be interpreted as bribes in that scheme which he sewed in the form of a spider web. He was keen to cage Seokjin in that web until he becomes fine dust and dissipate.

It took him longer than he had expected to convince you, or better said, to force you using your father's flaws, you were still against the whole matter until his call came on that rainy day, which had obliged you to go meet with him in the coffee shop you used to frequent when friendship was still there.

It was that envelope that he handed you full of pictures and different contracts that held your father's seal on them that made you oblige to his request. Adultery was in itself a big crime, but when the obscene crime is done with underaged girls is even worst and if the police held a grip on those pictures, your father would have been as good as dead in a cell of some rotten prison, as if that wasn't enough of an ordeal, those loans he kept taking from the loan sharks to pay off his pile of debts caused by his addiction to gambling, were like the strings of a booby-trap bomb.

" Such a stinky smell coming from that envelope y/n am I wrong?"

As if being hit by a truck, you felt every bone in your body broken and you failed pathetically to regain control over your moves, your brain started malfunctioning when the reality of your father was exposed before your eyes, you started wandering if the truths you knew about your family were ever...truths to begin with.

The price you paid to cover your father was high, expensive to say the least, and definitely, your balance couldn't afford it which made you take extreme lengths.

The exchange took place in Jungkook's hotel room in south Gagnam, you handed him the files that contained your husband's dirty laundry and he handed you the original copy of the pictures along with the payment proof of your father's pile of debts.

" Smooth deal you see, you just need to comply my dear y/n, and believe me, nothing bad will come out of it"

It was the last sentence that came out of his mouth as he dropped you in front of the main gate of the house you shared with your late husband, you held back the saliva you were about to spit over his face as enraging him was the last thing you wished for when he revealed his real face from beneath the mask he always wore in front of you.

"It's the last time I'm doing anything that could hurt Seokjin, don't even think about playing me around your fingers Jungkook".

People rarely change their nature, especially people like Jungkook, you were sure about it, and the cunny grin plastered over his face was a strong confirmation of your thoughts.

" That Taehyung guy will pave a road I really need to walk my way down on, you will help me in maintaining him grounded and obedient as he should be", he kept marching forward forcing you to take multiple steps backward until your back hit the cold wall, Jungkook pinned you with his hands while his eyes kept traveling between your lips and eyes in a multi-destination route, not excluding once your bare cleavage, " your task is really easy, and from past experiences, you excel in it".
