Poem of Tears

12

Jungkook slowly opened his eyes, realizing that it was already 8 pm. He rushed outside, concerned about the time and whether everyone had left the office on this Sunday. As he hastily collected his belongings, he pondered how long he had slept.

Suddenly, a voice interrupted his thoughts, "Did you wake up?"

Jungkook was startled and turned to find Taehyung standing there.

"Sorry, I slept for so long," Jungkook admitted.

Taehyung replied, "It's okay, and I'm sorry for my behavior earlier."

Jungkook walked outside, with Taehyung following him. Taehyung offered, "If you're okay, I can drop you."

Jungkook declined, saying, "No," and entered the elevator. Taehyung joined him, but his presence made Jungkook uncomfortable. Jungkook stood in a corner, clutching his bag tightly.

"I'm not going to do anything to you, don't worry," Taehyung reassured him.

Jungkook remained silent, looking down.

Taehyung then asked, "Why are you behaving like this, Jungkook? I suffered too, just like you. Why do you still hate me? Didn't I protect you? Didn't I take care of you? I spent four years in jail for you. Isn't that enough? What more should I do for you? Should I tell the world about rape?"

"Please, just leave me alone," Jungkook pleaded.

"I can't. I love you. I want a family, I want to live peacefully," Taehyung confessed.

Jungkook began to cry, repeating, "Please, leave me alone."

"Jungkook, please listen," Taehyung tried to explain.

"I hate you!" Jungkook shouted. He was panting heavily. When the elevator doors opened, he fled.

Outside, an old security guard asked with concern, "Jungkook, son, what happened?" Jungkook didn't reply and instead started his bike and quickly left the place.

Hoseok looks at the young CEO, "You look like a baby chick."

The CEO replied with a smirk, "You look like a henpeck."

Hoseok chuckled, and Yoongi, who had been suppressing his laugh, interjected, "Mr. Chan, let's talk business now."

"Yes, Mr. Jeon," Chan smiled at Yoongi, and the conversation transitioned smoothly to their business deal.

As they walked out of the building, Yoongi turned to Hobi, saying, "Flirting is not going to work everywhere, Mr. CEO."

Hobi, confident as ever, replied, "Who says no to me, baby? Just wait and watch." He will handed over his phone number. "That boy is very professional; that's why he behaves like that."

"How beautiful," Yoongi commented. "You're so confident."

"Of course, I am. Let's bet. If he doesn't call, I'll do whatever you say, and vice versa."

"Okay," Yoongi agreed.

Chan called after them, "Excuse me," and hurried over to hand them a paper. "Be ready, Jeon," Hoseok smirked at Yoongi. "You forgot to take this paper. Goodnight." Chan walked away.

Yoongi burst into laughter. "He's not into boys, sir. Let's go."

"But how dare he? How can he avoid me like that?" Hoseok questioned

Yoongi took the paper. What's on it?"

Hoseok checked the paper and exclaimed, "Wow, I told you, no one can reject me. It's his phone number.

He gave it to me, not you." Yoongi snatched the paper from him.

Hoseok teased, "Are you trying to flirt with a rich man?"

"What?" Yoongi looked at him, confused.

"You know something," Hoseok said with a hint of resentment, "You're the most selfish man I've ever known."

Yoongi was taken aback. "What are you talking about?"

"You want everything for yourself, and you'll do anything for it," Hoseok said through gritted teeth.

Tears welled up in Yoongi's eyes. "What the hell are you saying, Mr.? Don't make me angry."

"You are the only reason for your brother's misery, Yoongi," Hoseok said as he walked to the car.

"Did you just blame me?" Yoongi asked, his anger rising.

"I know everything. You selfish bastard," Hoseok looked at him, accusingly.

Yoongi lost his temper and grabbed Hoseok's collar. "I'll kill you."

Hoseok forcibly pinned Yoongi to the car. "Leave that man alone. Why are you clinging to Jungkook's life like a parasite? Let him live peacefully." He pushed Yoongi to the ground, took the files, and drove away, leaving Yoongi in a state of shock.
