BET MY HEART || taejin

16. Scared of thunderstorms

"My chest throbbing maddeningly
and the rain hitting my shoulders gently
and my tears overflowing though I hold them back,
They tell me now that this is my first love."

seokjin let out an exasperated sigh and marched out of taehyung's office "that rude bossy bastard seriously" he mumbled to himself as he headed to the his team's office and everyone left whatever they were doing to shower all their attention to seokjin

"he thinks im a weak chicken" he muttered to himself, annoyed at taehyung treating him like he was made of glass. it made his heart flutter but at the same time it felt wrong to receive special treatment after messing up at work

jimin and the others were startled when seokjin told them that he's going home. hobi was the head of the food department so he called him out to tell him about what had happened earlier in taehyung's office. hobi without even hearing him out understood what would've happened so he suggested jin to go back to the dorm and rest while he would tell their other teammates that seokjin is unwell and will resume work from tomorrow which sounded off to all their fellow colleagues because President V, The V, as they had known him, a freaking rude, prideful rantipole who would show no mercy to incompetent employees and fire slack newbies who used health as an excuse to back off from work. this same V has now forced an employee to go back home because he was sick?

what was so special about this guy?

they could already evidently witness how jin got exemptions from work and was given a golden employee treatment which sounded unimaginable even in dreams for the employees at V co. they already figured that V was interested in the new guy who joined the company, anybody could tell it by just having a small glimpse of the way in which taehyung looks at seokjin like he was going to eat him up with his eyes alone

it was so obvious now that seokjin had messed up and failed to complete an important task with taehyung not heeding to the fact that he did not complete his work, everything just made sense to the workers there but who were they going to complain to? V? the owner of the firm that they worked at? no. definitely not. so they rather shut their mouth unless they want to get fired

seokjin lazily swung his satchel over his shoulder and left ignoring all the eyes that were again piercing holes at his back, their whispers were almost inaudible because he chose to not pay them attention but one of the comment particularly caught his attention or rather a nost woman in her late 40s whispering loudly on purpose

'im telling you, this slut sleeps with V and hence this royal treatment. money and sex he gets both, man should've rather enrolled in a brothel instead of V co'

he turned around and faced the crone that valiantly spoke such awful words about him, it really did hurt and he still couldn't muster up just enough strength to question the woman who kept spitting sour things about him

"correct me if im lying, aren't you V's little skank who spends nights with him to get money and work related privileges hm?" she spoke as if she was so sure about what was going on with them and when every employee chose to go mute and not meddle with V's personal life, this woman seemed too brave and audacious

seokjin got frustrated because there was nothing going on between him and taehyung

"i know people like you too well, yal are V's slaves and move your ass at his snaps"

all the employees looked at him with a questioning gaze, they were so curious to know his dynamics with taehyung but most of the people there were already convinced that seokjin was fucking with taehyung for the wealth that he possessed. the rumours were so apparent and vivid that everyone almost believed that he had something going on with V
