☆ 5. Wait A Second!☆
Jungkook's alarm rang on time the next morning and Jungkook turned to his other side hugging the pillow close which exactly smelled like Jimin.
He abruptly sit up, throwing the sheets away but it was just a pillow, making Jungkook to heaved a sigh of relief while caressing his forehead, he actually thought he would woke up beside Jimin in the morning. The thought made him snicker while shaking his head.
He did his morning routine with a positive energy and opened one of his drawer to get his file and discerned that beautiful red stoned slave bracelet in the corner. Jungkook just took out his file and closed the drawer but didn't move to leave. After a moment of silence, he opened the drawer again and took the bracelet out and shoved it in his pants' pocket with his wallet.
He jogged down the staircase, wearing a white suit over black dress shirt.
"Baby Jae!" Jungkook cooed while ruffling her hair when she was eating on the dining table.
"Daddy, you ruined my hairstyle" She pouted holding her hair and Jungkook chuckled, taking a seat across her.
"Oh! Mr. Jeon, are you doing breakfast at home today?" One of Jungkook's maid questioned.
"Why, Am I not allowed?" Jungkook asked with a snicker.
"N-No... I was just asking" The maid replied with a smile and a bow, slightly dumbfounded. Jungkook's mood was never seen to be this merry in last several years. He never talks with his servants like that with smiles but today something was really different about him.

"I think... I'm a bit late" Jungkook cleared his throat as his driver drove out of his mansion's grilled gate. He actually wasn't.
"Take it from the Next Street" Jungkook ordered after a while when his driver didn't suggested it on his own to go from there.

"I don't keep anyone's debt but I couldn't find him"
"Oh, so you finally believe in him and us now?" Suga asked with a raised eyebrow walking with Jungkook in his company's corridor.
"I don't know. I still think it's not true but however..."
"However, Jeon Jungkook is twenty minutes late for his meeting because he had been lying to his driver and circling around the Next Street to find a hooker"
"Come on... I just wanted to give him money"
"Like that, Mr. Jeon" Suga asked with a smirk.
"Whatever" Jungkook rolled his eyes while entering a glass door, the meeting hall of his company with a huge round conference table in the middle and found his father sitting on the chairman seat in the huge meeting hall with all of his family's elders.
"May I ask you why you are being so lazy nowadays?" His father questioned as everyone was waiting for his arrival to start the meeting.
"I was stuck in traffic. It's Seoul" Jungkook bowed to everyone and went to sit beside his father. "Don't act as if you used to get in this cell on time when you were CEO, Jeon Jong-soo" Jungkook whispered to his father.
"Just once in my life, Jeon Jungkook" His father noted with a shrug.
"Count it as my 'once'." Jungkook shrugged back.
"Don't act like a brat to your father" His father whisperedly ordered and Jungkook snickered. "You are looking good"
"I always do" Jungkook smirked, checking his hair in the glass table infront of him.
"But not more than me" His father added and Jungkook just shook his head at him.
"Grandpa Woo was here a minute ago but you never showed up so, he left" Ji-Hyun mentioned while fixing his black suit over his navy blue dress shirt with a hairstyle like Jungkook, sitting right beside him.
"He is in his office, don't try to teach me how to keep up with my office" Jungkook scoffed.
"Yeah, I'm already well aware" Jihyun snickered sarcastically.
"Oh, let's talk about you, have you learned how to wipe your nose yet?" Jungkook questioned, faking concern.
"Atleast, I'm here working on the same release of Luna, Jungkook" Jihyun rolled his eyes.
"It's Hyung to you" Jungkook noted.
"Can you see my feet under the table?" Jihyun asked while pointing the table and Jungkook just keened his eyes at him.
"Let's see how far you will go with this release but wait, I can't even push you enough or else you will go, crying to hide behind your mother"
"I was thirteen back then. Atleast, I broke your nose" Jihyun stated with a proud raised eyebrow and Jungkook's father cleared his throat as they all stood up at Grandpa Woo's arrival into the room.
Jungkook just glared at Jihyun
while standing up and bowing for his grandfather.
"Grandpa would want the design, Jungkook. Where is it?" Jungkook's another cousin asked in a whispered, sitting dowm across Jungkook when they all sat down.
"It's Hyung to you too, Jiwoon. It's in my office" Jungkook rolled his eyes.
"Why you didn't bring it, Jungkook hyung?" He sarcastically mentioned.
"Are you a jerk or something? I don't want to answer to you, go by yourself and bring it. You should have collected it by yesterday" Jungkook sharply ordered and he just glared at Jungkook before running off the meeting hall.
"Idiot" Jungkook muttered.
"Be nice to your cousins, Jungkook" Jungkook's father told him. "You are the eldest son of the family among nine boys and the Hyung to all of them, stop treating them like that"
"They are so irresponsible"
"Whatever it is" His father mentioned and Jungkook just sighed.
"We've decided to go forth with the release by the end of this month" Grandpa Woo announced. "Jong-soo will handle the production as always, I'm forced to add Jihyun into design and development with Jungkook" He added and Jungkook's eyes widened.
"I think validation needed someone important" Jungkook tried.
"That's why he isn't going to be there" Grandpa Woo looked at Jihyun who looked away to roll his eyes. "I will assign someone illegible for PPC and I will love to see the design in Jungkook's office with a coffee"

Jae-Hwa just made a circle head with a blue crayon and mentioned 'Daddy' over a man's silhouette drawing with two other silhouettes and wrote 'Family' over the top of a A3 sized sheet and looked at it with a wide smile.
She ran out of her bedroom and down the staircase to reach Mi-Sun who was sitting on a round table with two of her friends, laughing and drinking.
"Mom, Look!" Jae-Hwa demanded while poking Mi-Sun's arm. Mi-Sun just tsked while pulling her hand away without even looking at Jae-Hwa, being busy in her chattering.
"Mom, Look, I made our drawing!" Jae-Hwa stated while raising her drawing towards the table while tiptoeing because of her short height.
"Oh! Gosh, how irritating children are" One of Mi-Sun's friend commented.
"Jae-Hwa, I told you not to bother me and my friends!" Mi-Sun scolded Jae-Hwa while throwing her drawing away. "I'm not interested in your stupid drawing! Go to your room!" She ordered and Jae-Hwa just backed away startled.
"I'm really grateful I don't have children" Mi-Sun's friend noted and Jae-Hwa just picked up her drawing with teary eyes and ran upstairs.
"I had to have her or else I wouldn't get anything from Jeon Woo's will when he will die" Mi-Sun rolled his eyes.
"And what about Lee?"
"He doesn't care if I spent my nights with Jungkook. He knows I'm all his, I'm showering that much money on him. It's just all because of Jungkook, if he wouldn't be that scary I would be living the life I love" Mi-Sun scoffed while crossing her arms over her chest.
"You are living the life you love" Her other friend mentioned while looking around the expensive interior of Jungkook's mansion. "And Jeon Jungkook seemed to take good care of your needs and he is really good looking"
"So what? I can't even go out without telling the maid where I am going and when I will come. I never wanted to get married to him but the wealth he holds was too much to deny the proposal" Mi-Sun rolled her eyes. "And of course, he is good looking but life gets boring with one man all the time" She shrugged further.

"Grandpa Woo, I don't mean to talk back or judge your orders but I actually think Jihyun and I can't stay under one roof" Jungkook stated in a soft voice with his head low when his grandfather was busy looking at Taehyung's sketches with a coffee cup in his one hand.
"I know he had been doing shameless things but upon his mother's request, I want to give him a chance. I want him to stay with you and learn" His grandfather mentioned as he stood up and patted Jungkook's shoulder, who was bowing infront of him.
"I liked the exterior but show more of the interiors" Grandpa Woo ordered Taehyung who nodded abruptly and bowed, watching him leave.
And Jungkook slapped his own forehead as soon as his grandfather left with his two assistants.
"He never comes to office but when he does, it's always a huge disaster and some new shit to deal with" Jungkook threw some papers away on the desk.
"We will get through it" Taehyung assured with mechanical pencils clutched onto his fingers as he looked at his sketches with different angles and Jungkook just looked at him with an unamused face.
"Umm... Taehyung?" Jungkook mentioned as if he suddenly remembered something.
"Which one among the... clubs we went... that night? On the next street?" Jungkook hesitantly questioned.
"I don't remember it's name though, it has blue lights and... wait why are you asking it anyways, Grandpa Woo's grumpy grandson?" Taehyung raised his eyebrow at him and Jungkook just gulped.
"Nothing... I was just curious. Complete your sketch" Jungkook diverted Taehyung's attention back to his work.
The rest of the day was normal for Jungkook, actually all of his days and nights were. Three weeks passed by and Jungkook forgot about the blonde hooker so easily and his money.
He attended meetings, dealt with tons of work load, cope with his family lunches, grappled with Mi-Sun and that hooker's beautiful bracelet was left under his drawer, forgotten.
Until...
Jungkook happened to stay at the company for later, working on the new release of his brand's sports car which was a lot near now. He just looked out of his office's glass walls to see how hard it was raining.
He dismissed all the workers late but soon when he was done for today's schedule. He climbed down his company's main staircase with his driver hovering an umbrella over him until he got into the back seat of his car.
"I just hope my uncles approve the latest design" Jungkook sighed to himself while sinking into his seat and his driver started the car.
"Mr. Jeon, Should I take it from the Next Street?" Jungkook's driver questioned, looking at Jungkook from the rearview mirror.
"Why?"
"It's really late. We will get to our homes a bit faster" The driver suggested.
"We are just heading home anyhow. Take it straight" Jungkook ordered while rolling his eyes. Denying the suggestion.
"I have nothing to do with that ugly alleyway. I'm not that cheap" Jungkook mumbled to himself while looking out at the rain drops hitting his car's window.
And suddenly Jungkook's car passed by the empty bus stop and Jungkook took in the glimpse of someone... really familiar. Glossy faux leather, bright red, ash blonde hair...
He looked back twice but his driver was driving too fast as there was no traffic and his windows were covered with rain drops. He wasn't sure if it was him or not but...
"Wait a second!" Jungkook told his driver who rushingly pulled up the brakes.
"Is everything okay, Mr. Jeon?"
"Umm... I just suddenly remember... I forgot something important in my office"
