The Cursed Doll - JJK 🧸 [ Uncle With Benefit 2 ]

🧸

Currently, in the evening, Jungkook is still at his workplace at the Sunlight event. As a high-value project has been assigned to him, he must thoroughly explain to his team the complete arrangement of the decoration design. Although it may seem simple, it is twice as challenging, considering the team comprises nearly 80 individuals, including decorators, lighting technicians, and waitstaff.

At the Sunlight event, there are ten such teams, and two irregular teams that organize emergency parties. Outside the building, yellow bulbs are still burning, surrounded by a crowd of people. Jungkook is working very seriously, and he has not been seen smiling since the afternoon, a fact that his older brother, Kim Namjoon, is clearly noticing.

However, he is not getting a chance to speak because the younger one is deliberately avoiding eye contact with him, not even glancing his way by mistake. It may be due to the pressure of work, but apart from Namjoon, those close to Jungkook in the office also know him well enough to realize that he is not the type to keep his lips sealed, yet today, he seems unusually reserved. Otherwise, everyone, including his own assistants, would be laughing at his jokes.

Despite being the team leader, Jungkook has never shown such a demeanor; he harmonizes beautifully with everyone, and his outstanding performance and intense focus on work suggest that his promotion to another position will happen very soon, which is common knowledge to almost everyone.

It's ten o'clock at night, and Jungkook steps out of the Sunlight event building with his scooter, walking around, though he hasn't yet mounted it. He stops abruptly when he remembers his wallet. Reaching into his pocket, he begins to count the remaining money.

"Just 50,000 won," he mutters, sinking into despair. Resting his head in his hands, he sits down on a nearby bench, looking like he might burst into tears any moment, for he doesn't have enough money to buy the teddy bear his daughter desires, which costs around 116,000 won.

From a distance, Namjoon spots Jungkook in such a dejected and broken state that he immediately brakes his car and rushes over to sit beside him. His face clouds with worry when he hears Jungkook's muffled sobs.

"What's wrong, Jungkook? Is everything alright?" Namjoon asks with empathy. Finally, Jungkook lifts his head, revealing eyes swollen with tears, cheeks streaked with them, and a nose red from crying. It seems to break Namjoon's heart, for he has never seen him cry like this before.

"Jungkook..." Namjoon says, his voice choked. "Why are you crying like this!?"

"Hyung, I'm not a good father at all," Jungkook breaks down, burying his head in Namjoon's shoulder, who wraps an arm around him, placing a comforting hand on his back, offering solace with his warm embrace.
