The Office - English Translation

Chapter 4

Taehyung was starting to feel a blind rage growing inside him. He was fed up! All of this wasn't right. He had done nothing wrong and Jungkook continued to rage.

He had reprimanded him for a mistake that was not his and he hadn't deserved it. He had wanted to punish him the night before for what he had believed to be a lie, by treating him like a whore, and he hadn't deserved it. Tonight he wanted to fire him and he didn't deserve it. And now he was yelling at him for just asking to leave with dignity, and he didn't deserve that either, damn it!

He grit his teeth and angrily stared into the raven's gaze "Okay then, do as you want, Mr. Jeon. And I'll do the same, I really think I'll accept Jimin hyung's proposal to work directly for him."

He tried to turn around and leave but Jungkook grabbed him firmly by the shoulders and pulled him to his chest "Don't even try Taehyung! I won't let you."

The brown-haired snorted irritably pointing his hands against his firm pecs and trying to push him away with little results "However you can't stop me."

"We'll see!"

"Don't touch me Jeon, as of tonight I no longer work for you, so don't ever dream of approaching me again. You may be the co-founder and owner of this company but you are not omnipotent and Jimin hyung already said he will keep me away from you and that deranged friend of yours. Now leave me and go fuck yourself!" Taehyung jerked free from his grip and tried to get out again, but Jungkook wouldn't let him, standing in front of him.

"Get the fuck out, Jeon!" thundered Taehyung now at the limit of endurance, realizing only at that moment how he started to address him and stopped using the honorific. Not to mention the insults... But damn, it didn't interest him anymore. The only thing that really mattered to him right now was that if Jungkook tried to humiliate him again he wouldn't last very long and he knew it, so he had to be detached. He would not show him his fragility again.

"I'm not touching you Taehyung, but now you answer me."

"No."

"No?" he looked at him dazed, taken aback.

"What?! Have you gone deaf? I said I don't want to talk to you. Move over."

Jungkook narrowed his gaze before getting dangerously close to the major "Listen to me well, Taehyung. First of all stop calling Jimin by name. And then... if you don't want to use the honorific at least call me by my name." he concluded blushing, slightly embarrassed by the nonsense he had just uttered. Jimin by name no, but for him it was fine... he looked bipolar, what the fuck!

Taehyung had no more desire or reason to submit to his boss's whims and mood swings "As for the first point, I'll continue to call Jimin hyung by name because he asked me to. As for the second... I don't want to. I don't owe you anything anymore, Jeon."

He saw the anger in Jungkook's eyes and for a moment he was afraid that he had gone too far to talk to him like that.

"Jimin is happily engaged to Yoongi, don't get any weird ideas Taehyung! And as for me, until proven otherwise, I'm still your boss and you owe me respect so, if you really don't want to call-"

"Respect! Respect?? - the brown-haired man almost yelled, interrupting him- I don't owe you anything anymore! Have you treated me with respect up to now? Answer me, asshole!"

He felt his eyes fill with tears, but now what was the point of trying to hide again? He was tired of pretending to be stronger than he was, he didn't care anymore. Just as he didn't care that Jungkook was evidently turned pale "You never recognized my abilities, you just belittled me these past few months! And as soon as you thought I'd made a mistake you attacked me, not believing for a moment that I hadn't lied to you and maybe it really was your friend who did something wrong and abused her position -he ignored the tears streaming down his face- And after fucking me you treated me like I was a whore! You told me to clean up and walk away l-like I d-disgusted you." he felt his voice crack and begin to stammer. He didn't even care about that anymore. It was him, he was just like that, and if this is a problem for someone, well, that wasn't his business. By now he was going to let it all out. "Have you ever respected me, Jungkook? Even now you want to fire me without even giving me a chance to leave with dignity, resigning! You just yell at me. Well then, you know what? I'm not leaving at all! I'm going to work for Jimin and-"
