23. What did I ever do to you?

Chaerin looked off and Jungkook could sense it. He stared at his girlfriend trying to figure but he couldn't. Usually she was like an open book but sometimes when she wanted, she had a blank face that was so good it could make her the queen of poker. And at that times, Jungkook couldn't exactly pin point.

"Chae, what are you thinking?"

"Nothing", the woman replied. "I just dazed out staring at the wall", she answered.

"Are you sure?", he asked raising a brow. "As far as I know you don't day dream because that takes away from your productivity"

"Hey! I am also allowed to be unproductive", she shot back. "I am not a machine. Sometimes I have bad days okay"

"Okay okay", Jungkook raised his hands in defence.

"But if you ask", she looked down playing with the hem of her shirt. "Taehyung's fiancée Arin....she...she..."

"What about her?", the man asked.

"She seems sketchy to me"

"Sketchy?", Jungkook raised a brow. "How so? I thought she was pretty sweet. And you know Hyung's a bullshit detector. He will never put up with fake ass people"

"I don't know Kookie. She came up to me at the party and said I should stay away from Taehyung because if I talk to him, he would get hung up on me again. And she did not want anything affecting her relationship. All I did was say hello to him and make some small talk. And that too because he came up to me. She had no reason to consider me a threat but...."

"Hey! Hey!", Jungkook said holding her cheeks. "Its all right. You don't have to explain yourself. I know you did not have any bad intentions. If Arin is insecure than that's on her. It means she has no confidence in her equation or any trust in Taehyung. Its not anyone's fault and certainly not yours. Let her be and don't pay her words any attention. Okay?"

"Okay", she softly replied.

Jungkook chuckled as he felt like a parent explaining something to their kid. "So cute", he teased pulling her cheeks before pecking her nose and lips. Chaerin laughed as she let Jungkook treat her as if she was a little human.

He wanted to say something more until his phone rang. He looked at it to see it was his father calling. "One minute babe", he said picking it up.

"Jungkook, come home right now"

"Now?", he asked. "Its 11:00 pm dad. I am not coming. We can talk tomorrow"

"When you come, get to my office", with that the call was cut. Jungkook looked on aghast at his phone. "Can this man not take a no", he murmured.

"What is it?", Chaerin asked concerned. "Is everything all right?"

"Yeah, he sounded the usual. Must be something related to the presentation I gave him yesterday. He will not chill until we get this right. Go to sleep, I'll be back late", he said, swiftly kissing her lips as he removed a blanked at covered her with it.

"Stay back Kookie, cuddle time?", the woman pouted looking at him with puppy eyes.

"Chae you know how weak that makes me. Don't pull off that", he threw his head back.

The woman laughed nodding. "Go on, I was just teasing you"

With that he grabbed his car keys and rushed out of the door. Half an hour later, he found himself walking towards his father's office in the heart of their mansion.

The Jeon's house was a state of the art property. Situated in the most expensive and influential area of Seoul, it was more often than not listed as one of the best properties in the country. It was 'Designed' by Jungkook's  mother, if the definition of designing was selecting a few wall colors and the fabric for the tapestry. But nevertheless, the architectural magazine she posed for listed her as the main designer.
