JUNGKOOK'S POV

Three weeks had passed since I left America and came to Seoul. The main plan was to finish the work fast and hurry back to America, but I purposefully went slow. I wanted to spend some quality time with my friends who I hadn't contacted for a long time. I dearly missed them a lot and had a lot of catching up to do.

Even with Taehyung.

I can't believe that I actually agreed to be his friend. I was only supposed to come to Seoul and ignore him and go back, but no. I met him, we tried to ignore but we couldn't, he is now my assistant, and now my friend. Pretty weird, right?

I looked at myself in the mirror one last time before heading out of my room and going to my office. While I was heading downstairs, I heard whispers and cackles coming from the balcony which overlooked the garden. 

I slowly tip-toed over to the place and I saw Leishi and my mother talking and laughing in whispers. Must be drooling over another handsome guy again or discussing ways to win me over. I turned to head back until a word caught my attention.

"Your father-in-law just contacted me yesterday night and do you know what he said?" my mother said and I tried to listen to what she was going to say next. 

"Oh! What is it? Is he going to tell Jungkook to come back to America? I so badly want to go back there. I miss that place so much and I had to come here to make sure Jungkook doesn't fall in love with someone else. So are we going back?" Leishi asked and I bit my lip. I can't go back to America so soon. I thought Leishi came here because she wanted to or maybe something was discussed between my father and her.

"Nope. That's not what he said," my mother replied and I sighed. Good. Then what did he talk about? "Instead he will be coming here on Friday. Make sure to greet him properly, darling."

"Why is he coming here?"

"He has a meeting to attend to and plus, he wants to surprise Jungkook. Cute, right?" she said and I mentally puked. I bet he wanted to see what I had done for the past three weeks. 

Friday? That was two days from now. Crap! I ran out of there and to my car and drove to my office. When I opened the doors, I saw Taehyung sitting on his desk and eating ice-cream. Seriously?! 

"Yo boss!" he waved at me and I awkwardly waved back. I went to my desk and sat down to complete my incomplete work. I could see Taehyung still eating his ice-cream and I ignored him. Work before staring. 

"Want some?" I suddenly saw Taehyung holding the ice-cream cup in front of my face.

"No."

"You look like you will erupt like a volcano any second," he chuckled and I rolled my eyes at him, "If you eat the ice-cream, it will cool down your temperature and you can work peacefully again. So do you want some?"

"If I eat it, would you leave me alone?" I asked and he scowled at me.

"Sure, ass!" I smiled and took a huge scoop out of the cup. I licked my lips and I saw his eye widen at the almost empty cup.

"Thanks," I said and he glared at me.

"You ate the entire thing, you meat head!"

"A small bite can't calm down a volcano," I smiled and continued, "So I took a big bite."

"I hate you," he grumbled.

"I hate you too," I made a kissy face at him and he looked at me with disgust before heading back to his desk. The ice-cream did calm me down and I was thankful for that. Now, back to finishing my work.

TAEHYUNG'S POV

"I am not kidding. That guy has his nose stuck in his papers since morning and it is almost evening now," I said to Jimin who was on the other side of the phone. I had taken a break and went out of the office and sat in front of the private lift. No one was there on the 13th floor except for him and me, so I just sat on the cold floor, freezing my ass off.

"Wow! What a busy guy! And what about you? Drooling over Zeref?" he asked and I let out a slight chuckle.

"You bet!"

"Ugh! This freaky obsession with anime guys got to end, Tae."

"Even you were obsessed with them."

"Yeah, I was. But, now I am dating Yoongi and I prefer him over anime guys."

"Betrayer! But who cares!? I have all the anime guys to myself and we don't need to fight for them anymore."

"Yeah. That's right. Okay I have to go now. Got job to do."

"You mean 'blowjob'?" I smirked and I could hear him gasp. Jackpot!

"Asshole! I didn't mean that."

"I can hear Yoongi whine behind you."

"Ugh! Forget it. I am going. Die, you ass!"

"Bye. Don't get your a—" Suddenly he cut the call and I scowled at the phone. I was just telling the truth. I shrugged and looked at the time.

6:00 p.m.

How much more longer should I stay? I sighed and got up to see what Jungkook was doing. I went back and saw him in the same position like I saw him in the morning. His eyes concentrated on the bright screen of the computer, his lips in a tight line and his fingers constantly tapping on his keyboard and writing down stuff on a piece of paper. 

So busy. 

I went to my seat and sat down to check over my work. Just as I did that, he called me. I groaned and got up to walk all the way to his desk.

"Take this," he handed me a blue folder and when I held it, it was shit heavy!

"What the heck did you stuff in there? Rocks?" he raised an eyebrow at me and sighed.

"That file contains all information about the financial situation here. Get that thing out of here and chuck it in my father's office."

"Wait, your father's office?" I asked and he nodded. Why would he ask me to do that? "You go keep it there."

"I have a meeting now, right?" he asked me and hurried to my computer to check.

"Yeah. Its in half an hour." 

"So, you go take that to my father's office and I will be going to the meeting," he got up and wore his coat over his shoulder. 

"Why can't you keep it in his office tomorrow?" I whined and he gave me the annoyed look. 

"My father will be coming here on Friday," What!? "So that's why just keep it there now. I don't want to go there or else I will mess up the place. Here is the key."

He chucked the key at me and I caught it. I watched as he left the place and went down the lift. Jungkook's father is coming? But, why?

I bit my lower lip as I walked towards the CEO's office. My soul was trembling, but not from fear.

I put the key in the lock and turned it. The doors unlocked with a click and I pushed them open. My eyes grew wide when I saw the huge, dark office. I switched on the lights and gaped at the entire place. It was way bigger than Jungkook's and it was almost the size of my apartment.

I twirled around and inspected everything. The walls, the glassy desk and the huge windows that overlooked the entire city. Well, almost. I looked up at the ceiling and saw a huge chandelier. Why are they so obsessed with these?

Every step I took in, I was reminded that I was standing in the place where the most powerful person in the business sector stood. Mr. Jeon. And soon, his son will take over the company and become yet another great one.

Was this the reason why we can't be together? He belonged to a family who almost dominated the entire world whereas I was just a normal being living in a small apartment. The difference between our standard was too high.

But this wasn't the reason why I left him. It was fear. Fear that the truth that will be revealed. Fear that when Jungkook gets to know about it, he will turn his back to me and leave me in the dark.

I bit my lower lip and kept the folder on the desk. I wanted to leave this dreadful place before more memories come back and haunt me. As I was about to leave, I heard a crash behind me. I jumped in fright and looked behind to see a cardboard box had fallen from the top of a cupboard. How the heck did it fall? I didn't even touch it.

I couldn't leave it like that, so I turned back and knelt down to pick up the fallen files and folders. I turned the box upright and in the result emptied the entire thing. I better hurry up before Jungkook comes and kills me.

Along with different colored files, there were small letters too. It wasn't my business to peak around, so I cleanly placed them back in a neat order. As I did, there was a letter which caught my eye.

To Jeon Sung-ho

Jeon Sung-ho? Hold on...isn't that Jungkook's father? I badly wanted to look away and finish the job, but I was a curious person and couldn't resist at all. I picked it up and read the contents written on the later.

Suddenly my eyes grew wide with shock as I reread what was written. It can't be. I picked up another one which had fallen down and another and another and read them with shock.

All these letter were from the previous year and all were about Jungkook. I clasped my mouth with my hand as I read one later which was dated ten years back. There was another one which was eighteen years ago and it was probably the first one from the unknown person.

As I read it, the horrible truth unveiled itself. I gasped at the horrifying betrayal and I bit my lower lip when I realized something. 

I just got to know a secret which even Jungkook doesn't know. If he knew about this from the starting, he would have probably told me or hinted about it. But if this was shown to the entire world, then Jungkook's father's reputation and money will be buried down along with him. 

What I was holding in my hand could bring down Jeon Sung-ho. As the dreadful consequences came into light, a smirk slowly started to reveal itself on my face.

Oh damn! An evil idea came upon my head and I dashed to the printer. There was almost a hundred letters, but I didn't care. Jungkook's meeting lasted for an hour and when he comes back it might take another hour. That was enough time for me to scan these letters and copy them. 

It took an hour to get them all down and I crumpled it and folded it exactly how I found some of the letters. Jeon Sung-ho probably won't have a look, but I got to do it in case he does. I kept the box back on top of the cupboard and stuffed all the real letters in my bag. 

I saw the time and it was time for me to go back home. As I left the building, a cunning smile appeared on my face. Jungkook's father was smart, but then I was much more smarter than him. If I show those letters to Jungkook, he would probably leave his father for good and would probably leave the company too.

I can't wait for you to come back, Jeon Sung-ho. We have business to talk about. A very important one.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a secret for a secret.

._._._._._._._._._._._.

So, What secret did Taehyung find out? Who do you think wrote those letters?
