The Truth Untold

Chapter 23 - Danger! High Voltage

...

It was quite a long day for Jin. A lot of work at KIM Enterprises, meetings and lunches with important people, and then there's Dong-Ho and the ''Organization''. Dong-Ho got information about V. Some of the men V attacked as he was saving the detective, had recognized him, and now Dong-Ho wanted his head. Jin wasn't able to calm his mind after that. He was tired, so very tired.

Today he was running everywhere, and he was exhausted. He was in the middle of checking some documents when Solar came in.

-'' Sajangnim.'' – He calls. – '' Why are you still here? You should be at home by now.'' – She gently scolds.

-'' Ah, I can't just yet, have these papers to finish.'' – Jin begins but was cut by a woman's hand on his forearm.

-'' No, it's enough. I will finish that for you, and leave it in your desk drawer for tomorrow. Your eyes are bloodshot red.''

Jin leans back in his seat, rubbing his eyes with the fingertips of one hand, groaning at the sudden relief he felt. – '' Yeah, you're right. I should go home, but there is just so much to be done.''

Solar shakes her head. – '' You won't finish any if you fall ill into your bed.'' – She points out, still touching his arm. Jin looks at her gently. She was brilliant. Gorgeous, gracious, strong and gentle, smart and capable. They went to the same college. Jin wanted to chuckle at how their friendship began.

They were rivals at first. Both top students in their class, were popular, and everyone expect them to date, but they didn't like each other at all. Much later, they met again, both on the top of their careers, they decided to join their forces together, and Jin never regretted doing that. His work became much easier with her around, making sure everything works perfectly without any problems. Her sharp mind and spot-on organizational skills were exactly what he needed – someone to lean on.

Taehyung used to tease him like he did Namjoon for Wheein, but neither of them ever made anything in that direction. For Jin, at least, Solar was always the most valuable employee and maybe something of a friend, but nothing more. He just couldn't afford a relationship right now, not with Dong-Ho and ''Organization'' around. As long as they are there, Jin will never be free, and everyone he loves and cares about would be in danger.

Even if Dong-Ho dies, the ''Organization'' will still make claims on them, and bringing down an organization of that magnitude is impossible. They are everywhere, but literally everywhere. They have their members all over the world, you can't escape them.

Still, Jin looks at Solar's beautiful face and her eyes look at him with concern. He placed his hand over hers and gave it a comforting squeeze.

-'' Don't worry, I'm fine, promise.'' – He says, smiling softly at her.

She narrows her eyes as if she was trying to see if he is lying to her or not. – '' Hmm... alright, I'll choose to believe you, but if you lie, Sajangnim, I will be angry.''

Jin huffs a laugh at this. First, her insistence to call him Sajangnim, which means CEO or boss, even when they were alone was funny as well as a bit annoying, but he respected the professional line between them, even though they would step on it here and there. And second, her angry side was always so endearing to Jin, that he almost wished she was annoyed with him. Her pouts and cute face made Jin smile most softly at her.

No, Jin wasn't in love, but he did have a deep affection for her. She would be a great life partner to him, a very good wife, since they had a good connection, could talk for the longest of hours, make funny remarks, and even argue. No wonder, Taehyung was teasing him about her all the time. He liked her, Namjoon did too, and she likes them as well. To say that she would fit right in his private life would be so easy if Jin's life was normal. If his parents were still alive and none of this had happened, Jin would be happy to marry her. His mother would love her, and even his father would approve as well. But, alas, that wasn't the case.
