Nobody knows my heart like you

Ch 23

Let's not spell Namjoon's sister's name 'Ailiseu' but 'Ailise'. The pronunciation remains same tho!

*********

''Jungkook?'' Taehyung knocked on the door softly. ''Jungkook, I'm coming in.'' He opened the door to see him sleeping along with many children.

Jungkook had his head leaned against the wall, while his back was supported by a soft cushion. Roselyn was cuddled up in his arms, sleeping soundly. The other children were also cuddled up with each other.

The soft scene made his heart melt. Among all the innocent faces, Jungkook's did not stand out much because his face was as innocent as a lamb's. But, Taehyung knew better than to trust that face because Jungkook could change his expression from soft to hot within seconds. He was hot and he knew it. That was a double threat to his cro- ahem- heart.

'Looks like I'll have to go alone.'

He bit his lip and sighed.

'Oh well, let's drag Namjoon along.'

His eyes lit up as he softly closed the door and made his way to Namjoon's desk.

'Joonie~
You're coming with meeee.'

He laughed like a villain in his mind.

''Hobi, are you listening?'' Namjoon said into the speaker as he finally found a spot on the rooftop with network.

''Yeah! Yeah! I'm here.'' Hoseok's voice chimed in.

''So.... I met her today.'' Namjoon sighed.

''Oh, baby, it's okay.'' Hoseok's voice turned energetic to comforting in an instant.

''It's just that- I- I have lived so miserably for all these years and she was there standing right in front of me, looking like the mistress of some emperor. I loved her so much- I-'' Namjoon choked up sounding helpless and lost.

''Honey, that's exactly why you're in the right. You loved her, you didn't do anything wrong. She was the one who dumped you. But on the bright side, you got a little gift from god, right?''

Roselyn's face flashed into his mind, making him smile instantly.
''Yeah.''

''So, cheer up, nyamnam! Let that b*tch go to help and focus on your hot bosses!''

Wow, Hoseok could really switch tones in an instant.

''Hobi!'' Namjoon laughed along with Hoseok who was already laughing on the other side.

When they finally stopped Hoseok said, ''Be proud of all your scars, Namjoon. They make you who you are.''

''Yeah, I am proud.'' Namjoon smiled.

''Thanks, Hobi hyung.''

''Pfft- since when do you call me that?''

''Since right n-'' Namjoon was shocked stop.

''Get back to your jobs!'' Loud yelling came from Hoseok's side.

''Gotta get back to min- I mean working!''

They laughed together for the last time before finally hanging up.

''Namjoon?''

''Y-Yeah?'' Startled Namjoon looked behind him to see it was just Taehyung.

''I need you to come to a meeting with me since Jungkook is sleeping.'' Taehyung came directly to the point.

''Okay, sure. That's no problem.'' Namjoon agreed without hesitation.

''Oh- don't worry. Roselyn is with Jungkook.'' Taehyung added in case he got worried.

''Alright! Let's do this!''

***
'Let's not do this.'
Namjoon said in his mind when he saw too many important figures in the room.

What was a mere employee supposed to do among all these business tycoons?

He looked around the room to find his boss but could only find his assistant instead.

''Mr. Seo, do you have something to drink?''

''Yeah, here.'' Jaehyun handed him a cold beverage.

''Don't mind me asking, Mr. Kim. But are you anxious?'' Jaehyun asked.

''Y-Yeah, a b-bit, actually.''
Namjoon admitted honestly.

''I'll get something for you, from Cheonyoung. Wait right here.''

Jaehyun being a little shorter than him was having trouble looking through the crowd.

'If I'm not a dumbass, Cheonyoung is Jungkook's assistant. But, I thought Jungkook was sleeping?'

''Hey, baby brother!'' It was Ailise. ''What is an uncultured swine like you doing here?'' She smiled.

''Be grateful we're in public right now.'' Namjoon glared daggers and swords at her.

''Why? Don't have the guts to insult me here?'' She smirked.

''How do you have the guts to insult me here?'' Namjoon was honestly confused at her fearlessness.

''I work as the assistant of the CEO of a prestigious company.'' She announced proudly.

''Right... your job isn't just to drink wine and cry about fictional characters.'' Now, Namjoon was back in his form.

''Good. See? It works. He's not anxious anymore.'' Ailiseu looked back at- ....Jaehyun?

''Yeah, you really are a genius!'' Cheonyoung's voice chines in.

''You three know each other?''

''Yeah, our bosses are assholes who only bother to come to important meetings.'' Jaehyun said making air quotes while saying, important.

''And we have to attend the rest.'' Ailise rolled her eyes.

''We met here and there a few times.'' Cheonyoung added.

''You brought the ear plugs, right?'' Ailiseu asked the two men who were shorter than her because she was as tall as her brother.

''Ear plugs? For what?'' Namjoon was confused.

''Oh-ho-ho! You haven't told them! How evil!'' Ailise laughed like an evil stepmother.

''Oh, we know.''

The two joined her soon.

In Namjoon's head, they were looking like Cinderella's step mother and sisters.

''Uh..... what's up with them?'' Taehyung suddenly popped up behind Namjoon.

''Honestly, no idea.''

****
What's up, gang?

I am honestly considering to declare myself an irregular author too!

Not that, it is left to be done.. but yeah!

Have you ever had a dream where you were not you, but someone else?

Yeah, I remember it very clearly. I was a little girl with long hair wearing a pink fluffy dress. She couldn't speak.
