Fight for You | JJK

"So..." Namjoon starts, as he walks you to the hotel lounge where you're having your third meeting for the day. "I guess all it took was getting stuck in your vacation home with Jungkook, huh? Who would've thought," he chuckles.

You try to act nonchalant. "I'm not sure I know what you're talking about, Namjoon."

"___, I saw him leave your house this morning with a bag," he deadpans. "And don't think I didn't notice the subtle glances you were giving each other during this morning's briefing; I felt like I was intruding with how affectionate they were."

You heave out a sigh, mentally smacking yourself for being so transparent and apparently, not so discreet.

"You're back barely a day and you already know," you frown. "I mean, Mrs. Hwang and Mr. Sim figured it out barely 30 minutes after we arrived home."

"Well, that's on you if you did something right when you got home."

Namjoon could only laugh at your embarrassed face.

"Just be professional, alright? He's still your family's employee," he reminds you.

You answer with a pout. "Can I return you to my father?"

"You're a brat, you know that?" He shakes his head and chuckles. "Sadly, you sold Jungkook too well and your father doesn't seem to want to let him go. So you're gonna have to figure things out."

"I know," you huff. "He takes this job very seriously, as you can tell."

"Of course, ___. For the longest time, this job was the only thing that mattered."

As you should've known, dating your father's bodyguard isn't as easy as you had hoped.

Your office floors are different and while you're getting included in more meetings with the higher-ups, that's still twice a week too little.

Jungkook's required to stay in your family's residence for 3-4 nights a week, and on the nights when he doesn't, he takes the chance to do his workout at his friend's gym and is thus too tired to speak to you when he gets home.

With your father being busy as the last quarter of the year nears - constantly leaving the city and being in countless meetings - and with you being preoccupied with helping the orphanage and your family's Foundation among other things, there hasn't been much time to be with Jungkook.

Aside from Sundays - his day off, where you both visit the orphanage in the morning and do whatever you feel like for the rest of the day, the only other moments you share are the affectionate smiles and glances when you see each at work or at dinner with your parents, and the occasional highly risky meet-ups in the staff lounge.

It's been a month of making it work and you'll take it. You're appeased during the very few times he drops by your house after his shift or he lets you stay over to immediately sleep when he's home. And every time you're together is time well spent - watching the Fast and the Furious movies, eating food and learning how to cook, sharing stories, and fucking in every corner of his apartment or your room.

Some days though, you want nothing more than to lay in his chest while he tells you that you did well after a little win. You miss him most during times like this. Much as you tease him about his terrible misconceptions about you in the beginning, you know that he believes in you, sometimes more than you believe in yourself.

You check your phone to see it's almost 1:30PM and Jungkook's just about to take his break. You'd passed on lunch with some friends to meet him, having sent him a text earlier to meet you in your car in the basement parking lot.
