twenty.

all the update comments and dms had me laughing sm 😭 ❤️

Jeongguk had his fingers wrapped around his cheek and eyebrows furrowed, jaw clenched as he scrolled through Taehyung's email account. At first he didn't want to check as he expected Taehyung to show up again.

But it was night and there was a clear sign of Taehyung being genuine about leaving. So, he ended up logging into the account and scrolling through the amount of emails he had been receiving from his employees.

from: IT team
Hi this is Tyler, stop with the emails because we already told you that we can't do anything about the video and if you have a problem with us go to Mr. Jeon. Who we reported to you once already, by the way.

Jeongguk had then saw that after that, Taehyung had emailed a different team outside of their company for help. He let out a guilty sigh and rubbed his face in frustration.

He then returned to the emails of the heads of department. They hurt to read, not because he took them personally but because he knew that Taehyung had taken that to heart and then endured his insults too.

"Fuck," Jeongguk breathed out and leaned against his chair with a guilty look on his face.

Fuck I gotta apologise to him first and ask him to come back. Jeongguk picked up his phone and instantly text the boy, but not an apology. He always thought that an apology should be in person.

jk
Mr. Kim, I'd like to talk. Where are you?
Seen
I want to apologise and meet up, are you free?
Seen
Why are you leaving me on seen?
Seen

Taehyung squinted his eyes, staring at the text whilst he breathed heavily. He rubbed his chest in pain and shuddered at the cold breeze that brushed his hair away from his eyes.

"What the fuck is this?" Taehyung spoke aloud, words barely managing to come out due to how hard it was getting to breathe. It was harder to read though, his head hurt from all the problems going on and he was drunk.

"I think that's enough alcohol today," A quiet voice whispered.

"Shh," Taehyung raised his hand in the air, "He's calling me," he picked up the call and leaned against the railing of a bridge drunkenly.

"Hello? Mr. Kim?" Jeongguk's voice instantly spoke on the other end which made him loudly groan into the phone, "Where are you?"

"I'm..." Taehyung looked around dazed and rubbed his face, "Somewhere outside my house- I'm on a self care walk right now with my vodka and friend," he stumbled about and screamed when he fell back into the ground.

"Are you okay? Are you drunk? Aren't you allergic?!" Jeongguk stood up worriedly, packing up his things as he spoke only to abandon them anyway, "Who are you with? Are you safe?"

"Man shut the fuck up with your questions, I'm mad at you I'm not gonna talk to you- bye!" Taehyung yelled into the phone, pressing random buttons a few times before he finally managed to end the call.

He let out a whine and pulled himself up from the green railing, leaning over it dangerously. A petrified screech left him and he quickly pushed his body weight back to distance himself from the place.

Jeongguk worriedly drove down the street, Taehyung lived an hour away from the workplace. He didn't know why he was so worried, but the sound of cars in the distant and Taehyung's words sounding suffocated was what was controlling him.
