His Secret Husband

[17] 100 Million Dollars Insurance

After dinner Taehyung leads Jungkook to the living area of the manor. When they arrived, there were already a few American men sitting inside waiting for them.

Jungkook did not understand what Taehyung wanted to do, but Taehyung gently comforted him, "No need to be nervous."

Not long after, the American man in charge stepped forward and started chatting to Taehyung. It was at this time that Jungkook overheard their conversation and finally understood what was going on – Taehyung wanted to purchase insurance for his legs.

It wasn't unusual for famous people to insure parts of their body, but...they mostly did it to create attention, so Jungkook quickly grabbed onto Taehyung, "Taehyung...I don't..."

"Don't overthink it. Your legs need protection because they are the most beautiful legs I've ever seen on the modeling stage..."

"But..." Jungkook was still unsure.

"Listen to me," Taehyung nudged him towards the valuer. "You never let me do anything for you. Are you going to deny me the right to buy you insurance as well?"

Jungkook couldn't refuse. Even though his legs were beautiful, at the moment he wasn't very famous, so he assumed the cost wouldn't be too high. With this in mind, Jungkook gave up resisting and let the valuer do his job.

However...before the valuer could give a quote, Taehyung stepped in to say, "No matter what the final estimated value is, I want to increase the insured amount by ten times."

If that's the case......then that would be over 100 million dollars!

Standing quietly to one side, Seulgi and Jimin were in shock over what they were witnessing. Most importantly, Taehyung wasn't doing this to create attention, he was merely helping Jungkook secure a guarantee. The final benefactor of this insurance would be Jungkook; from now on, no matter what happened to his legs, he'd be covered by insurance.
Taehyung really spoilt Jungkook!

Jungkook was quiet the entire time, a million thoughts were running through his mind. However, Taehyung placed his arm around his shoulder and said, "This complex industry is chaotic and unsafe; I can't guarantee that 10 or 20 years from now, Kim Entertainment will still be as successful. So, I want to do all that I can to give you peace of mind. I want the path ahead of you to be protected."

"Then, why don't you also buy one for yourself?" A tear slowly snuck its way out of Jungkook's eye.

Taehyung leaned over and chuckled into Jungkook's ear, "Because I don't have beautiful legs like yours..."

At that moment, under the beautifully lit room, Jungkook only had Taehyung in his eyes – the Taehyung that did things for him without expecting anything in return. He had originally married him with a motive, but he never minded, instead he gave him faith that he loved him wholeheartedly.

"Because of what you've done, do you know how many promises I am making to myself?"
"Huh?"

"I've promised myself to never leave this man unless I die," Jungkook responded in seriousness.

Taehyung laughed with his usual poise and charm. As long as it was something he found worth it, he would be willing to give up anything without regrets – Jungkook was the first person that made him do things without asking anything in return...

Such was life: one person trampled over his heart, while another treated him like treasure. That's why, no one should ever be broken-hearted over a jerk; as long as one is persistent, there'll always be someone better out there who is willing to give them the warmth they wish for.

"Jungkook is now precious..." Jimin whispered quietly to Seulgi.

"He's insured for over 100 million dollars...that's enough to buy SM outright."

"You don't know how tempted I am to thank Kris, the jerk, for sparing our Jungkook from marrying him," Jimin winked at Seulgi. "I want to see him hug that shameless B-grade model and get out of our sight, as far as possible..."
"Never would Kris imagine, while he is using all his brainpower to think of ways to go against Jungkook, there is someone who's willing to invest 100 million dollars on insurance for him."

...

Indeed, as the Secret shoot was fast approaching, Kris was endlessly contacting the Korean media – trying to give Juni as much exposure as possible. He released statements about Juni being better than so-and-so and Juni completely, out-shining so-and-so, making his exposure inflate dramatically. In comparison, Jungkook who also released statements only got mentioned here and there, and whenever he was mentioned, it was always just a few lines amongst news about Juni.

Fans became anxious. Members of the Official Fan Club contacted Seulgi multiple times to ask her how Jungkook was doing, but Jungkook always gestured her to stay quiet.

Seulgi understood. Overseas, Secret Magazine was merely a third-class publication, there was no need to make such a fuss over it – this would only make Jungkook appear short-sighted and shallow.
So, Seulgi simply responded with 4 words: Have faith in Jungkook.

With these 4 words, Jungkook's fans felt a sense of relief. Judging by how Jungkook handled himself previously, they knew he held a low profile and kept to himself; no matter what happened, good or bad, he was clear about what he wanted and always had a plan.
