JUNGKOOK'S POV

Taehyung is my personal assistant!? My mind was messed up and I had no clue what just happened. His mother just came up to me and sweetly asked me to take in Taehyung. I did not want to reject her because of that kick she gave me seven years back, so I had to accept it. Anyways, I will be going back to America soon and I will soon be away from him.

Right now we were seated in my car and were driving to my office. I looked at him and he was fidgeting with his fingers and biting his lower lip. Looks like he is nervous or probably annoyed that he has to work for me.

The car stopped in front of the company's building and we got out. Taehyung gaped at the huge building as we walked in. People greeted me on the way and I just nodded towards them. We got into the lift and I pressed on the number 12. Yep, we had a lot of floors. We reached the floor and walked down the hallway and took a left to another lift. This one was the only entrance to my office which was located on the 13th floor. 

"Why is there another lift here?" he suddenly asked me and I was pretty shocked to hear him talk. I thought he was going to give me the cold shoulder. 

"Uhmm...this one leads to my office. Only certain people are allowed to enter."

"Then, why am I coming with you?" he asked and I mentally slapped my forehead. You are my personal assistant! Don't tell me he doesn't know that?!

I simply ignored his question and walked out of the lift and took a right down the hallway which led to huge, black doors. Unlike the walls in the other floors where it was covered with pictures or paintings, this one was pretty bland. Neither me nor my dad were interested in decorating them. 

I pushed the doors open and it opened into a huge room and on the left was another small room which was my office. I opened the door and sat in front of my desk. I kept the door open since I liked it that way. I could see Taehyung looking around the entire place. Oh shit! I totally forgot about him. His eyes then left the room and was now looking outside the doors.

"What are you looking at?" I asked him and he looked back at me.

"Those doors...where do they lead to?" he asked me as he pointed outside the office to another pair of doors which was on the other end of the hallway.

"Those doors open into my father's office," I said and suddenly I saw him looking tensed, "That is basically the CEO's office."

"Then, what are you?" he asked me and I swear I wanted to slap him. Was he even paying any attention in the meeting when they were talking about me?

"I am the president of the company," I said and he nodded, "That is your desk there." I pointed to a small desk which was situated on the other end of the room. 

"Is that really mine?" he asked and I nodded.

'Who else do you think it belongs to?"

"It is not like that. It is just..." he touched it and frowned, "Why is it made of glass?"

"Only the top part is made of glass," I said and some part of me wanted to choke him to death. Such annoying questions. The day hasn't even ended and I seriously want the night to come so I can go and sleep.

"But why is it glass? What if I break it?" he asked me and I sighed. How the heck did I manage him for two and a half months?

"It won't break. And if you break it, you will have to pay for it."

"Can't I just get a wooden desk?" he asked and I clenched my hands into fist in front of my face. He saw it and nervously smiled, "I will get back to work. Sorry for disturbing you." I nodded and he sat at his desk. 

I  got up from my chair and looked out of the huge windows and saw the other buildings around us. People on the streets looked like ants and the vehicles look like splotches of bright colors. I suddenly heard something fall and I looked behind to see Taehyung cursing at himself for dropping his files. Clumsy.

I was busy looking out of the window and admiring the view when suddenly I heard a phone ring. I looked at mine which was place on my table and it was not ringing. It was Taehyung's. He took the phone outside the office and I went back to staring at the window.

"WHAT THE HECK DID YOU DO?!" I heard Taehyung yell from outside and I nearly jumped from fright. Why the heck did he scream like that? I walked out of my office and to the huge doors. I just laid my hands on the door handle when suddenly it banged open and it hit my face. I fell down and buried my broken face in my hands.

"JUNGKOOK! I NEED TO GO TO TAEHYUN'S PLACE BECA—OH SHIT!!" he saw me lying on the floor and clutching my face. He knelt down beside me and he removed my hands from my face and he gasped. What happened to my face now?

"So so so so so so sorry!" he started to apologize a gazillion times and that made my head ache. 

"Just shut up and tell me what happened to my face."

"Your nose is bleeding," he took out a plain handkerchief and was about to wipe the blood off, but I held his wrist and stopped him.

"Why are you using that thing?" I asked him and he sighed.

"It is a brand new one and I haven't used it. It doesn't have any mucus or any disgusting thing," he assured me and I nodded before he placed the handkerchief under my nose.

He was so immersed in wiping the blood off that he didn't notice me staring at him. I observed his every feature. His lips, his nose and his eyes. Those plump lips which I used to crave for when I was young and that nose which never broke. Those eyes which held those hidden stars I loved and they only shone when he was the happiest. But now those stars were long gone. I tried to search for them, but it looks like he hid them away in the darkest corners. 

"You have a very weak nose," he suddenly spoke and broke my thoughts.

"It is your fault. Remember to knock before entering, asshole! Thanks to you now I broke my nose" I snarled at him and he glared back at me.

"It was your fault for standing behind the door. If you had just shut your ears and sat in your place, then none of this would have happened," he said and my eyes widened with shock. Does he even know who he is actually taking to?

"But you should knock before entering."

"You shouldn't eavesdrop on people's conversations," he replied back.

"I wasn't eavesdropping on you."

"Then what were you doing? Cleaning the doors." This guy is seriously getting on my nerves!

"I wasn't eavesdropping on you. I was just heading out for a cup of coffee." 

"I thought you hated coffee." Hold on...how does he know that? Is he stalker?

"I was going to say—"

"Can I go to Taehyun's office?" he interrupted me and I raised my eyebrows at him.

"Why are you going there?" I asked him and he sighed.

"Some problem. So is it a yes or a no?" he asked me and I was pretty annoyed that he didn't give me a proper response. Is he and Taehyun secretly dating? They might be because their names are almost the same.

"No," I said.

"Okay. Then I will be going," he waved good-bye to me before rushing out off the office. Wait...what just happened?

"WHAT PART OF THE WORD 'NO' DIDN'T YOU UNDERSTAND?" I yelled after him but he was long gone. That asshole! I feel like taking a needle and plucking out all of his eyeballs. I picked up his handkerchief and dabbed at my nose. Luckily the bleeding had stopped and I sighed in relief.

My head was still aching so I went to my chair and sat down. I looked at the handkerchief in my hand and suddenly the memory of him getting worried over my finger jumped into my mind and I smiled. He is still the caring guy. I took the handkerchief and smelled it, but all I could smell was blood and detergent. Looks like he really doesn't use it. 

Why are you thinking about him? Remember this, he is the one who broke your heart and also your nose. I sighed and kept the handkerchief in my pocket. I will get it cleaned and give it back to him later. 

I started working so that I could forget about him and concentrate on my work. Not even an hour of silence passed by when suddenly the door banged open. I looked up to see which bastard dared to disturb me and my eyes grew wide with shock. What the...?

"Jungkookie!" Shit! Why is she here?


*******


TAEHYUNG'S POV

He said 'no', but do you think I would listen to him? Nah. I am a free man. Now why in the world did I say that? 

I had to hurry back to Taehyun's office before my Roachie died. Apparently, that kid went around messing around my desk and 'accidently' opened the box where my Roachie that is the cockroach was in. 

I took the taxi and luckily, I reached there in ten minutes. I jumped out and ran towards his place. When I opened the door, I saw two males hugging each other while standing on top of the desk. How is the desk able to manage them both?

"Taehyung! Get that thing away from us!" Taehyun yelled at me. Then, who was that guy next to him? His lover? Oh! Must be Beomgyu. He looks so cute. How come such an ugly bastard like Taehyun got a cutie pie like Beomgyu? Blackmailed.

I looked around the corners and under the desk and didn't find it at all. Just as I was about to shout at Taehyun, I saw a black thing lying near the curtains. I rushed towards it and saw the cockroach was lying motionless.

"What did you do to it?" I yelled at Taehyun who was still clinging onto the other guy. 

"Beomgyu threw his shoe at it and then...I don't know what happened." I want to kill that guy now. Who dares to throw a shoe at my best friend? I touched it with my pen and there was no sign of moment. Is it dead?

"YOU LAME ASSES KILLED IT!" I wailed out loud and received a shoe on my head. I turned around and chucked it back at them. It hit poor Beomgyu on the head and I smirked to myself. That's what you get for killing my Roachie.

"Oy! Why did you hit my babe?" Taehyun yelled at me and I rolled my eyes at him. I thought he was going to break up with him.

"Cause he killed my Roachie."

"Why are you crying over that? Glad to know we killed it and stopped diseases from running around," Taehyun said and I gave him a cold stare that probably sent a cold shiver down his spine. He nervously chuckled and said, "I mean, uhmm...it was by mistake hyung. None of us meant to do it...hehe." 

"I seriously want to chop of all our fingers," I smirked at them and they were legit trembling when they heard me say that.

Suddenly I felt something crawling on my hand and when I looked down, I realized it was Roachie!

"Roachie is alive!" I screamed with joy, scaring the other two males in the room, "I thought you died my beloved friend!"

"Roachie?" Beomgyu asked and I nodded, "You gave a name to the cockroach."

"It is not an ordinary cockroach," I said and they looked confused when I said that, "Me and Roachie can understand each other and we are like best friends."

"Maybe you were a cockroach in your past life. That's how you are able to understand it," Taehyun said and I glared at him. 

"Want me to stuff Roachie's shit in your nose?" I asked him and he shook his head. I got up and placed Roachie in the box before picking it up and facing them, "So, how did you like my gift?"

"Gift?!" Taehyun yelled and I chuckled. Before he could kill me, I ran out of the place and hailed a taxi. I came back to the office with Roachie in the box. I couldn't possibly leave him there nor could I take him back home because Jimin exists and he might accidently open the box and cause chaos. I hope Jungkook won't mind me having Roachie here for a day at least. 

I got in the lift and went to the private floor. I got out and walked up to the big doors which opened into his office. Should I knock? Nah. It is not like he is busy or something. I pushed them open and when I saw what was going on inside, my lungs tightened and my stomach clenched itself. 

There was a girl straddling Jungkook and she was unbuttoning his shirt, but unfortunately I interrupted them and she was half-way done with his shirt. Both their eyes were on me; one was shocked while the other was annoyed.

"Uhmm...sorry for interrupting," I quickly said before closing the door, but a certain someone called out my name.

"Taehyung, wait." I looked back at Jungkook who pushed away the girl and was buttoning up his shirt, "This is not what you think it is."

Huh? What the heck was he talking about? You guys were going to have sex, right? 

"Who is she?" I asked and both of them were equally shocked when I asked them that. Okay...why are they shocked?

"Th-That's Leishi," Jungkook said and my eyes grew wide with shock. LEISHI!? I looked behind him and saw her smirking at me. That lady is Leishi? Her blonde hair was the same with the pink streaks and she still had her curves. The reason I couldn't identify her was probably because of the heavy make up she was wearing. 

"Leishi?" I suddenly said and she nodded.

"Yep. I am Leishi. Jungkook's one and only wife," she said and suddenly that last word stabbed my chest and I could feel immense pain from inside. Wife? Th-they were married? But, I thought...

I looked at Jungkook who didn't seem to be surprised when she said that. So, it is true. I bit my lips and tried to control my emotions that wanted to burst out. 

"We are engaged to each other," Jungkook said and I looked at him. So they are engaged. I could finally breathe a little, but that doesn't mean I was fine, "We are going to get married in a few more months."

Wow! Thanks for the information, Jungkook. Now I will go and bury myself in a grave and die peacefully because I can't tolerate this anymore.

But, wasn't it my fault from the start? I was the one who left him and because of that he had no other option but to marry Leishi. I chuckled at myself for being stupid and dumb to believe he would still love me even after seven years. Seven years, Taehyung. How could someone possibly like you after seven years? Especially after you broke their heart and left them to die all alone.

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKK!" I suddenly came back to the present and saw Leishi screaming and pointing to the box I was holding, "WHAT THE F**K IS THAT?!"

I looked down at the box and saw Roachi poking his head out. I smirked at it and looked back at Leishi who looked horrified.

"That's my pet cockroach named Roa—"

"YOU HAVE A COCKROACH AS A PET!?" she interrupted me and I grinned.

"Yes." She screamed and ran out of the office. Omg! Why are people so scared of cockroaches? Thanks to her, now Roachie is scared to shit and went back inside. That lady!

Suddenly I heard someone laughing and when I looked behind me, I saw Jungkook clutching his stomach and laughing like a maniac. Why the heck is he laughing so much?

"OH...MY...GOD! A COCKROACH AS A PET?!" he wheezed in between his laughs and suddenly dropped down to the floor laughing. Someone get the ambulance cause this guy needs serious help.

"What is so wrong with having a cockroach as a pet?" I asked and he looked at me with his tear-filled eyes. He went back to laughing and I slapped my forehead. When is he going to stop?

"There...is...no...problem in having it as...your pet," he said in between his laughs and I nodded. Good! Then I will be going now, "Oh my god! It has been so long since I laughed like that."

I smiled when I saw his scrunched up nose and his bunny smile. Even when he laughs, he still looks pretty. It has been really long since I saw him laugh like that, right? My smile soon faded when I remembered the incident I just saw before entering. Leishi on his lap and...I sighed and held out my hand at him. He looked at it and back at me.

"I don't think a president should be seated on the floor like that," I said and it took him a minute to understand what I was saying. He grabbed my hand and hauled himself off of the floor.

"Thanks," he mumbled and I nodded. He looked at my hand which was holding his and I immediately let go before things got awkward between us.

"Uhmm...how long have you and Leishi...you know..." I asked him, but the words were sort of muddled up and I had trouble talking to him.

"Seven years."

"Seven years?" I asked and he nodded. That means...

"I got engaged to her in America. It was right after we left Seoul," he looked at his shoes and I understood what he meant. Two weeks after I rejected him and a week after he left school. That's pretty fast!

"Congrats," I said to him and he sort of nodded at me.

"Sorry," he suddenly said and I was startled when I heard that. Sorry? For what reason? "Sorry that I had to tell you about Leishi and I. I hope you are not pissed or—"

"Pissed?" I asked him and slightly chuckled, "Why the heck will I be pissed if you and Leishi are together? It is not like I am jealous or anything. Your love life or your lover is none of my concern and I don't really care."

"You-You don't care?" he asked me and I rolled my eyes at him. Why does he think I will be upset or angry if he is married to her? 

"No, I don't. Even if you marry her right now, I wouldn't mind at all. I will probably rush to a nearby gift store and buy a gift for you both."

"What?" he whispered and I sighed.

"I left you because we are not meant to be together. I hope you remember that," I said and looked at him, his eyes were ready to tear up and his bunny smile had disappeared. Taehyung, stop! This is going to far! "I am glad to know that you found someone who loves you now."

"But she is not—"

"Just leave it Jungkook," I interrupted him and looked away, "The past is the past and now I am only focusing on my future. I don't like you now and I don't think I will like you anymore."

"I thought you-you..."

"What? What did you think? That I still love you? Get out of your head and smell the new air, Jungkook. Seven years have passed and I have moved on. I already have an amazing life and an amazing boyfriend to go with it."

"B-Boy-Boyfriend?" he asked me and I mentally slapped myself. Look what you did now, Taehyung. Just go with the flow and finish it off.

"Yes. His name is Zetsu. Now would you please excuse me, I need to get back to my work." I walked past him and bit my lower lip. What have I done?

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

Zetsu...Taehyung's boyfriend!! So now what will Jungkook do??
