Chapter 1
Taehyung is 27 years old now, he grew up very well after getting adopted by a very kind couple who took care of him. They literally treated him as their child and even spoiled him. He never thought that there will be someone like them in the world. He got so lucky to have them.
But, a catastrophe came into their lives when the company they owned got bankrupt and was demolished afterward. Taehyung was 18 at the time when it happened. Their luxurious life ended as well. They aren't rich anymore like they used to be but still, they pursue him to finish college, which he successfully did.
And now, Taehyung was the one who was going to help them build their company back. But the problem is, the money Taehyung was earning from his job as an employee of the company was not enough. So, when Taehyung saw the sign “Maid for 900,000 won every day.” he didn't hesitate to grab the opportunity for himself.
“Your name is Kim Taehyung?” The old woman inquired when Taehyung was inside the mansion where he saw the sign.
“Yes, that's me, Ma'am.” Taehyung responded.
“But, you're a guy.” She said, looking at him up and down.
“I still can do chores very well, Ma'am, well, maybe except for the kitchen, I'm pretty bad at it.”
Taehyung wanted to slap himself, he shouldn't have mentioned that.
“You are already employed, do you think you can handle two jobs?” She asked.
“Yes, I can do that, Ma'am. I actually need this job to fulfill my dream for my parents.” Taehyung replied, eyes shining when he mentioned his parents.
“Alright, then, I will contact you if you are hired. Thank you for coming.” The old woman simply told him.
“Thank you too, Ma'am.” Taehyung bowed his head.
Taehyung stood up from the couch, they were just in the living room while doing an interview. Suddenly, he saw the staff gathered on both sides of the door, looking like waiting for someone to arrive.
“Good afternoon, Mr. Jeon.”
The staff bowed their heads when a handsome young man came inside. He looks exhausted but still, Taehyung will admit that Mr. Jeon is drop-dead gorgeous.
“Good Afternoon, Mr. Jeon.” The old woman who interviewed Taehyung spoke beside him and bowed her head.
At that moment, Taehyung met Mr. Jeon's eyes. His heart suddenly beat, feeling familiar with those eyes. He was sure he saw those eyes before, but it was unclear to him when.
And the bulb lights up on Taehyung's head.
Jungkook
His childhood friend who he met 18 years ago. Taehyung can't believe how tall Jungkook was right now compared to before. He used to be taller than Jungkook and also their body comparison is insane.
Their height suddenly became almost the same with an inch difference and Jungkook got a buffer body than him, it was obvious because of the buttons on his shirt that looked like will pop off at any moment.
“Kookie? Is that you?” Taehyung asked while looking at Jungkook.
However, Jungkook didn't respond and went upstairs, not bothering to say at least a word.
“Do you know Mr. Jeon?” The old woman spoke, asking him.
“No, he just looks like someone I know.” Taehyung uttered.
Maybe Jungkook already forgot about him and seemed to be creeped out because of him. It kind of hurts him that he's the only one who remembered their past.
“I'll go now.” Taehyung said and left the mansion.
He let out a frustrated sigh, he thought once they found each other again, they will be able to reconnect. They even promised to meet each other, but it seemed Jungkook forgot him.
“It's been a while, Kookie, I'm glad that you are doing fine.” Taehyung uttered while looking at the mansion.
Taehyung just disregards his negative thoughts, he was happy that Jungkook grew up successfully, and that's all matter to him.
Jungkook doesn't know why he didn't go and hug Taehyung. He felt mixed emotions after seeing him for a long time. His heart was beating so fast, but Taehyung was still good-looking as usual.
He would rather not meet Taehyung in this kind of his state. He was tired because of his work, he didn't want to look dumb in front of him. He looked in a mirror seeing eye bags under his eyes and how pale he was because of lack of sleep. Not only that, but he felt so ugly right now.
He ran to the bathroom to wash his face to at least look decent for Taehyung.
“Mr. Jeon, your food is ready.” Mrs. Singh, the old woman who interviewed Taehyung.
He came out of the bathroom and opened the door for his nanny.
“Halmeoni, is the guy with you still here? Can you please tell him to wait for me for a moment? I will go down later.” Jungkook asked.
“Sir? But he already left.” Mrs. Singh responded.
“What? Why?” Jungkook thought Taehyung was still down there.
He was disappointed to hear that, he thought he was finally reunited with him this time. The day he was waiting for so long almost happened today, but it seemed Taehyung misunderstood his reaction earlier. He blamed himself for that, of course.
“He went here to apply to be a maid, Sir. And---”
“Hire him, Halmeoni.” Jungkook didn't let her finish the sentence.
“Are you sure, Sir? He's a guy that doesn't know how to cook. Will you be fine with that?” Mrs. Singh inquired.
She was confused by his behavior. She had never seen him being like this before.
“Yes, please, and can you also give me his contact? I will email him instead.” Jungkook uttered.
“Uh, okay, Sir, if that's what you want.” Mrs. Singh replied.
“Thank you.” Jungkook smiled a bit and closed the door.
He couldn't hide his excitement to see his baby Hyung once again. Should he continue to act like he forgot him? That surely sounds fun. He should tease him a little bit more.
