Third Person's POV

" Everyone has a desire of revenge after a bitter breakup. Some accepts it and some pretends to be a saint forgiver you know. I assume you're more like the first one and I like it " Jungkook said with a calm smile, something was so mysterious yet soothing about it that made Taemin feel ironically relaxed.

" I'm glad you do. And you should also know that it's not only my revenge, it's yours too. I think You're more than smart enough to know who's been trying to sabotage your work and image in the office. " Taemin said it all in one breath making Jungkook break into a chuckle as he sipped onto his soft drink.

" You really despise Lalisa ma'am, don't you ? " Jungkook asked and just the mention of her name made Taemin's face churn with hatred.

" Yes I do. I hate her just as much I loved her. " Taemin scoffed bitterly and looked away.

" Do you ? Really ? " Jungkook's question made Taemin snap his head back towards the younger.

" What do you mean ? " Taemin asked.

" Nothing. Just the fact that you really don't hate her. You're just not okay with the fact that she used you in the name of love and left you afterwards. You should be angry, I understand " Jungkook said, his voice low and Taemin couldn't really enjoy the fact that Jungkook said the truth.

" No . I hate her. I do. You know all these right but not that. You can't know my feelings for someone. " Taemin demanded and Jungkook nodded a little, the small smile still lingering in the corner of his lips.

" Ofcourse Sir, I can't but you know what I said was true. If your ' I love you ' was a promise... would you break it if you were honest ? " Jungkook asked , now his voice low and slightly stern , sending a chill down Taemin's spine. There was something behind Jungkook's voice that made Taemin feel inferior.

" Yes yes damn ! I was fucking honest ! But she wasn't ! She used me for the position she's in today ! She knows well how to remove people from the way she doesn't like . Just like she did to me ! " Taemin couldn't care about pretending to be okay ...he just trusted his new colleague .

" Calm down sir. " Jungkook said and his light yet somewhere demanding voice worked like a spell .

Taemin drank all the whiskey from the glass in one go before pouring it full again.

" I loved her ! You understand Jungkookssi, I loved her ! I introduced her to Boss ! I got her the job in the first place ! I wanted to marry her... have a beautiful family with her...and she... she just " Taemin couldn't complete his words.

" She just showed her true colours late. You realized she was in touch with your not so loving father. Broke up with you all suddenly as she got the higher post and pretended to not know you at all. Tried to sabotage your works and got you into fake scandals to taint your reputation . I know, I know it all. " Jungkook said with a chuckle and shook his head a little.

" You...you know everything... Oh god, is everything about me public or you're some secret agent ? " Taemin asked with a confused look.

" Both are untrue. I just like to have all the information around where I am. You know, information is the key. And ofcourse I would have all the information about the person who's been trying to get me out of the company from the very first day, common, I'm not a kid. " Jungkook said casually.

" You know why Lisa's been trying to cast you out of the picture ? Tell me you know that too ? " Taemin asked with a smile, impressed with the younger's genuine smartness.

" She can't tolerate anyone being better than her. It's... pretty concerning if you ask me. Even though we don't have any problems between us, she's trying to create one . " Jungkook said and now Taemin shook his head.

" No no no Jungkookssi ...here you're wrong, finally. I mean not totally but you don't understand the entire thing"
Taemin said.

" And why is that ? " Jungkook asked curiously and quite confused .

" You're working so close to The Park Jimin though ! Lisa couldn't win him in years, What if you do it ? I bet she sees you as the best potential to be her competitor " Taemin laughed.

" Competitor ? Win Boss ? What ? " Jungkook asked, remembering Taehyung's words from days ago. He wanted to say something about Lisa's feelings about Jimin but didn't complete his words back then.

" Uh thank god you're oblivious about it atleast. It gives me hopes about standing a chance to let you know something that you don't know. " Taemin chuckled but the conversation in reality, was taking a lot for him to not cry.

" Come on Mr. Lee, enlighten me already. Ofcourse I can't know everything... after all... I'm just a normal employee. " Jungkook said with a small smile and a voice that can trance anyone to reveal the darkest secrets of their life.

" That you are but not for long in my opinion. " Taemin smiled more.

" Sorry Mr. Lee but I may am too inferior to understand your words " Jungkook said leaning back on his seat and Taemin shook his head.

" Or I'm too bad at jokes though ! I meant you'll be reaching places no time soon. I can say it you know ? You're not just a assistant material" Taemin said delightfully and Jungkook held his small enticing smile.

" Lets see where my final destination is but I'm sure I'll be going nowhere if you don't tell me why Lalisa ma'am would see me as a competitor " Jungkook inquired again, not being able to hold his curiosity.

" Anyone who is close to Park Jimin or works close to Park Jimin is competitor in her eyes. And look at you ! Damn you're efficient and clean with your work. It's about time you become Boss's one and only Favorite." Taemin said and there's a sudden delight and twinkle of happiness shone on Jungkook's beautiful eyes.

" Boss is fond of hardwork and efficiency and you clearly match his expectations. If not, he would have not let you handle all these meetings this soon. He knows whom to trust and ofcourse Lisa doesn't like it. " Taemin said without knowing how much happy he was making Jungkook from inside.

So behind the cold facade and mocking, Park Jimin trusts Jungkook ? Park Jimin is starting to see his assistant's worth ?

" But Lisa is a fool to try to sabotage your work. I know she did some ridiculous things in her powers but I also heard you've successfully dodged it. And she'll do it again, till Boss despises you and you will be forced to resign " Taemin pointed out.

" And if you still don't understand, Lisa is infatuated towards Boss or more clearly, is obsessed with him. I won't call it love. Loving doesn't include sabotaging everyone's life around your beloved ." Taemin scoffed at the last part and in return of all this information Jungkook just raised an eyebrow.

" What makes her think I'll win Boss ? That she couldn't do in all these years ? " Jungkook asked narrowing his eyes as Taemin sipped on his whiskey again.

" Common, the entire company be falling for you here and there. Have you seen yourself ? You look perfect, work perfect and most importantly snatched away the position Lisa held for years . I know it's absurd but it's true " Taemin tried to make Jungkook understand.

" it's childish. She's not a teenager. Uh, a responsible educated teenager would also not do these things. Where's the work efficiency ? A company is a team work and it doesn't run by someone's own profit and loss and as an important place holder in the company, she should understand that. " Jungkook said. He sounded so done at that moment like he was disgusted with some kid's irrational behaviour.

" That's why she should not be in the company. She should not be holding the places she has. I don't want her to and only you can help me about this." Taemin said attracting Jungkook's attention.

" Ofcourse that's the reason I'm invited here tonight... right Mr. Lee ?"
Jungkook asked calmly.

" What would take you to react shocked for once Jungkookssi ? Nothing shocks you, do they ? " Taemin asked chuckling and Jungkook shook his head lightly with a smile which didn't really clear his answer if it was yes or no.

" But I'm sorry I'll be any help in that matter. I can't be doing the same thing she does and call myself saint afterwards " Jungkook declared making Taemin halt at the moment and stare at him without blinking.

" But you know she's breaking company's ethics and being unprofessional at it's finest. You wanna lose your own job ? " Taemin asked , a little baffled at Jungkook's straight forward decision.

" And you wanna do the same backstabbing she did to you and kick her out of the company to satiate your own revenge ? How efficient does that sound Mr. Lee ? " Jungkook asked back with the same calm demeanor, not scared , nor fazed by the powerful man's abilities infront of him.

" Jungkookssi...you are not understanding me correctly. " Taemin really tried to maintain his calmness cause he wasn't really fond of being rude for no reason. A gentleman always knows how to respect another one and he surely didn't find Jungkook as someone who should be yelled upon.

" I understand from where you're coming from Mr. Lee but Lalisa Manoban is an important asset of Park IT , doesn't matter if she's having a dispute with me and you. I hope I'm helping you understand sir... Don't do the same thing she did, you're not that low. " Jungkook said and Taemin looked down at his drink for a bit.

" I thought atleast you would understand Mr. Jeon. Seems like I'm really a fool to understand people...just like my damn father said" Taemin let out a sad chuckle before looking away towards the glass wall.

Jungkook sighed.

" I wish it was something else you wanted me to indulge in Mr. Lee... It's an honor to be working with you. You're an admirable man and also very naive at times. " Jungkook said with a softer voice and Taemin snapped his eyes towards Jungkook.

" Go on. I wouldn't say how dare you. Cause I know I am. " Taemin said and Jungkook's jaw clenched but the next moment he put his hand on Taemin's shoulder , patting it two times.

" I'm really sorry Mr. Lee ... I wish I could help you but I believe in my ability to defeat her in her game and if she affects the company's reputation or anything like that, she'll see what I can do. But till then, no personal dispute. I really don't know how to appreciate your trust in me to tell me all these at the first place but thank you. Your secrets will be safe with me. And if you want, I will take my leave now. " Jungkook offered his words so politely yet so majestically that it made Taemin stare at him for few brief moments till he broke into a smile.

" What are you man ? Why so damn perfectly royal ? Trust me when I say you seem like a book Character haha" Taemin laughed shaking his head.

" And secrets? They're...not to you. Never was. So I know it'll be safe . Please stay, I enjoy your company. You know... I hardly came across a loyal employee like you. " Taemin honestly said with a defeated yet light voice and Jungkook also felt relieved for some reason.

" I tend to love what I do. It brings success and happiness. " Jungkook said and Taemin nodded.

" Damn right. Not many people understands this. If your job is paying you well, is giving you privileges then you gotta love your work too. And speaking about Park IT, it doesn't need explanation. Park Jimin is a Godly man. " Taemin said with such honesty that brought out a happy glow on Jungkook's face.

" I've never seen him compromise with his employees' salary, health assurance, safety , comfort or anything. He proves that being successful doesn't require cruelty. " Taemin said and Jungkook could only listen with his heart rate increasing with some sudden feelings.

And the two talked more. May be what Taemin wanted didn't get it's success but Taemin successfully earned Jeon Jeongguk's favour that night, unknowingly.

" Tell me more about our Boss. Who's this Park Jimin actually ? You see, I haven't got enough information about him... after all I'm his assistant...gotta know a little atleast " Jungkook offered those words as lightly as the air and Taemin laughed , now slightly drunk while the younger was completely sober.

" You know about all these you've told me and you still don't know about The Park Jimin haha . I understand cause he's indeed a mystery. " Taemin said looking around and then focusing on his drink.

Taemin didn't know why he couldn't meet Jungkook in the eye. The later had something in his stare that doesn't let just anyone look at them. Was that even possible ? Taemin was probably tipsy.

" Oh common. A rich man like him cannot be a complete mystery . There must be a key. " Jungkook scoffed and Taemin chuckled.

" He indeed is one. May be because he's not rich . He's super duper rich " Taemin was really getting tipsy now as he drank the whiskey in one go.

Jungkook raised an eyebrow at Taemin before looking away at the city view . His now stone cold face looked emotionless as he leaned back on his seat.

" I know him from past 5 years. I've seen him achieve and go up to the stairs of success. Barely 22 when I saw him first. K-media used to get crazy about him you know like it still does. Have you seen him though ? He looked like an absolutely Doll back then and still does ! " Taemin said and now Jungkook looked at him, straight in the eyes.

" Don't get me wrong, I respect him but he's a man of everyone's dreams." Taemin said putting icecubes on his next drink and Jungkook just gave him a small smile. Taemin couldn't understand if it was fake or real.

" Yeah I get it. Very well. " Jungkook said taking his glass of orange juice finally.

" But you know he wasn't quite normal back then. You see him now, how cold he is and so closed off then think how he was back then. He looked like a robot most of the times. " Taemin said and Jungkook sipped on his juice.

" Just Silent ? Sick ? Or depressed ? " Jungkook asked and Taemin chuckled again.

" You know now I understand why Boss might get along with you though ! You talk just like him at Times. Blunt and so serious " Taemin said shaking his head and Jungkook remained silent.

" I don't know. No one does except Mr. Taehyung and DR. Kim. No one even knew who Jimin was " Taemin said and Jungkook listened carefully.

" You see... I'll tell you something I got to know . But I wouldn't also say it's a secret, many of the old employees of Park IT knows about it. " Taemin said and Jungkook narrowed his eyes before asking " what's it ? "

" The company actually didn't start in Park Jimin's name. For almost one year it was registered in Dr. Kim's name and he was the one who invested in the company and afterwards it's Boss's hardwork " Taemin said and Jungkook nodded.

" And why is that ? I mean about the funding it's understandable but what about the ownership ? " Jungkook asked.

" Yeah that's the point. The company couldn't be registered in Boss's name cause he didn't have the citizenship of South Korea till one year after the company was born. " Taemin said and Jungkook for reasonable cause, looked shocked.

" What ? Why ? He's Korean ? " Jungkook asked confused and Taemin nodded.

" He is ofcourse. It's his origin. But I don't think he's fully Korean or atleast wasn't born in Korea. " Taemin said and Jungkook looked so dissatisfied with the matter.

" Then... what about his family ? I haven't seen or heard anything about them till now ? " Jungkook asked and Taemin nodded.

" Cause he probably doesn't have one. Not atleast in Korea. That's what confused the media more. You can say The Kim family is his actual family. " Taemin said and Jungkook blinked.

" There's lots of rumours about him. Some says he's an orphan and somehow ended up in Kim family...or may be a son of Kim Joon-Woo , illegitimate if I put it that way. " Taemin said with a hushed voice . He was saying those with such excitement but when he looked at Jungkook's still narrowed eyes and impenetrable expression, Taemin felt a nervous.

" Kim Joon-woo . Jin Hyung and Taehyungssi 's father ? He was a famous heart surgeon . Wasn't he ? " Jungkook asked putting down the juice glass before leaning back on his seat.

" Yeah " Taemin nodded , " But you also might know how his life and career both ended abruptly one day ? He was known to be an honest and kind person . Charities, NGO's, school... that man did everything. Damn rich. But his hospital was charged for being fraud and having illegal access. He went bank rupt and stuff like that. It's story of long ago " Taemin said and Jungkook listened carefully and truly feeling bad at that moment.

" I don't know the depths actually. What happened after that ? And why do you think Boss is related to them?" Jungkook asked.

" I wouldn't say I think that. It's just a trustable rumour. So the Kim family went bankrupt and then his wife commited suicide if I'm not that wrong. You know nothing like these wouldn't have happened if his Godfather was alive . They died and then the people who used to be like their kids also Shattered, Just like Mr. Kim " Taemin said making it more complicated.

" His Godfather ? What do you mean by that ? " Jungkook asked.

" Not only his but almost the entire nations Godfather though ! The uncrowned Royalty of South Korea. An eminent and dangerous Diamond Merchant Family. The owner was always called The Lord. I've heard my own father talk about him a lot Back then. So The Lord and his queen I might add , were rumoured to be murdered. " Taemin said whatever he remembered .

" Murdered by a 13-14 years old boy . Probably was espoused by them. Some even says it was their own child. He killed the entire family in a mass shooting massacre. He killed the lord, his wife, their actual son or the heir ,also 7 other very important people in the family but there was also some rumours that it was their own son who shot the police officers and the commissioner back then to free the killer. It's all some sort of confusion then it was confirmed by the police that both of the killers were ran down by a truck and their bodies were found. You see, it was matter of too much influential people so it's always hazy. " Taemin scoffed and Jungkook didn't look like he was satisfied with all those information.

" Afterwards ...all the big ass richies nurtured by them fell down one by one and Kim Joon-woo was one of them. It's rumoured that he had an secret affair with someone from and that's how Jimin was born. He was secret till Kim Joon-woo was rumoured to be murdered too. Well, it was showed to be and also proved to be an accident but you understand what I'm implying to. " Taemin said and Jungkook nodded.

" So Jin hyung and Taehyungssi welcomed their step brother just like that? They were childhood friends though ! So they knew each other from a very young age. So, how ? Nothing is adding up. Try to enlighten me more. " Jungkook inquired and Taemin frowned.

" Well if anyone knew properly , it wouldn't be called a rumour. There was also some rumour that Park Jimin is actually half italian and Dr. Jin's patient and that's how they got to know each other. It was also Dr. Jin's influence that helped Jimin to get his citizenship and stuffs like that. But you see, Park Jimin over succeeded everyone so fast that it became far more harder to investigate behind his back. " Taemin tried to reason and Jungkook nodded, looking still unsatisfied.

" Half Italian ? Why ? " Jungkook inquired leaning on the table with his hands clasped, finally looking interested.

" Yeah I actually believe in this. I am not saying that one has to be Italian to be fluent in the language but in earlier days ... Jimin wouldn't talk much but sometimes when he did, he would say things in Italian. You know when we speak very normal things and more like when it's a very urgent word then the language we're much fluent in, comes out. But at the same time his American accent is very strong also as well as his Korean. And surprisingly he can speak French and Japanese too. So you can't say anything surely. " Taemin said nodding slightly to make his words look more interesting but all he got was a mysterious smirk from Jungkook.

" You know when Lisa got into the relationship with me, she was infatuated towards Boss at the same time. At times I feel like she just used me to see if she gets any reaction from Boss...you know, like those Kdramas ?" Taemin sadly chuckled.

" And? Did she get any ? " Jungkook asked, his voice curt and cold.

" Hushh No fucking way ! It's the Park Jimin we're talking about though- he doesn't have that love-romance thing in his system. He's absolutely void of these emotions to be honest. Side effects of being too attractive I guess. Like everyone is attracted to you but you're not interested in anyone... I'm kidding lol. " Taemin said with a chuckle and Jungkook could clearly understand that the other was drunk.

Jungkook couldn't understand how a rich, responsible and actually hardworking man can just hangout with someone whom he met few days ago and get drunk like this and talk like an old friend.

Lee Taemin is a good person.

And these types of good people always gets hurt.

" So he never was in any relationship...? But Taehyung told- " Jungkook abruptly stopped and Taemin immediately gasped.

" What ? Mr. Kim told you what ? " Taemin asked curiously.

" Uhmm nothing. I don't know clearly" Jungkook said.

" See, no one does. But in my knowledge and experience of knowing him in all these years, he never dated. Not even for business deals and popularity. Never ever showed interest in anyone but you know media doesn't shut up. But once again, it's the Park Jimin. No one has the guts to ask him about anything on his face. " Taemin said and Jungkook nodded a little bit of delight blooming on his oh so damn gorgeous face.

" Tell me about yourself Mr. Jeon. How about you ? Interested in anyone here ? Or already have someone ? Sorry, I don't have skills like you to know about everything beforehand " Taemin asked with a smile.

" Who'd like to date a person like me huh " Jungkook joked looking away.

" The same dialogue of all the gorgeous people damn ! I object though ! You know you're an incredibly gorgeous looking man huh ! People in my department be swooning over you and I'm sure every other people is too . You're literally perfection . Straight out of a movie scene kinda and oh, a book Character hahah" Taemin said truthfully and Jungkook sighed.

" Sometimes looking perfect doesn't mean we're perfect. Not everyone is Park Jimin. " Jungkook said looking away, his eyes seemingly more distant from the moment.


" Perfection never justifies happiness,
A perfect person to the world can hate themselves in the name of being worthless. "
