LOVE HAS NO AGE ✔

Chapter 14

Taehyung, Jimin, and Jungkook were sitting at the dining table, eating their breakfast, when Jimin broke the silence, asking Jungkook, "Are you alright, Kookie? Do you remember anything about last night?"

Jungkook hesitated at first but then took a deep breath and said, "Yeah, Jimin, I am alright. What exactly happened last night? I only have a few memories of it."

Jimin explained how he had rescued Jungkook from kidnappers and everything that happened the previous night. As Jimin narrated the whole incident, Jungkook started getting flashbacks of the previous day's events.

Flashback ~

After dropping a cute message to the angry Taehyung, Jungkook received a call from a private number. He ignored the call for the first three rings, but when his phone rang a fourth time, he answered it.

"Hello! Am I talking to Jeon Jungkook?" the voice on the other end asked, sounding urgent.

"Yes! Who's this?" Jungkook replied, confusion and curiosity lacing his tone.

"My name is not necessary right now. I have called to inform you that someone is selling your company data to another company. If you want proof, come to XYZ place soon."

Before Jungkook could say anything, the call was cut. Frustrated, he slid his hand through his hair, grabbed his car keys, and headed towards the given address. He was confused whether the call was just a prank or real, but when he remembered the person's voice, he felt it was familiar. This familiarity added to his unease, a knot of anxiety forming in his stomach as he wondered who it could be.

When he reached there, he was confused to see a small club in an isolated place. He entered with unsure steps, immediately assaulted by the strong smells of alcohol and smoke, making his head dizzy. The place was crowded with people engaged in all sorts of illegal activities. Jungkook went towards the bar and sat on a stool, scanning the area to find any staff from his office. His thoughts were interrupted by a tall, well-built person who suddenly touched his waist, causing Jungkook to jolt forward and stand a few inches away from him.

"What a beauty!" the tall man said, scanning Jungkook from top to bottom, licking his lips and rubbing his neck. Jungkook felt disgusted, his stomach turning at the man's lecherous gaze. He turned his face away and saw someone who looked familiar. Narrowing his eyes for a clearer view, he stepped forward, but the tall man grabbed his wrist tightly.

"Where are you going, beauty? Let's have some fun," the man sneered, his grip firm and unwelcome.

Jungkook was about to burst out in anger, but he composed himself, taking in his surroundings. He realized he needed to be strategic. After a moment of thought, he took a deep breath and turned around with a sweet, tight, fake smile on his face.

"Hey, handsome! I would love to have fun with you, but tonight's someone else's turn," Jungkook said, his voice dripping with forced charm.

"Tell me how much you want to ditch that person and come with me," the man replied, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.

"I don't ditch my work, handsome. But if you want me, then make an appointment with my manager. Give me your phone," Jungkook suggested, keeping his tone playful yet firm.

The man handed his phone to Jungkook, who quickly typed in a number—his own, but one he rarely used. He needed to ensure the man didn't get suspicious. As expected, the man tried calling the number to verify, but the call went unanswered.

"You can make an appointment from 10 p.m. to 12 p.m. only," Jungkook added, maintaining his facade.

The tall man nodded and left, looking for another target. Jungkook sighed in relief, his heart pounding. He quickly took out his handkerchief and covered his face, hoping to avoid more unwanted attention.
