Jungkook glanced sheepishly at Jackson, who was visibly annoyed by the misunderstanding with the CEO. "What are you doing here, Jeon? Go to your room," Jackson said, his tone tinged with frustration. With a quick nod, Jungkook gathered his things and hurried off, only to slip on the way.
Concerned, Jackson called out, "What are you doing, Jeon?" as Jungkook scrambled to regain his footing. "So... so sorry," Jungkook stammered, shooting apologetic glances before dashing off to his cabin.
"Sorry, sir," Jackson apologized to Taehyung, shaking his head at Jungkook's clumsiness. Taehyung just smiled softly, "Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone," recalling Jungkook's rendition with fondness.
**********
Jungkook muttered a curse and lightly smacked his forehead. "Stupid," he chided himself. "I misunderstood Mr. Jackson as the CEO." Anxiety surged through him as he contemplated the ramifications. "So this is Kim Taehyung... What if he fires me? No... Don't do that, Mr. Kim... I will commit Suiside."
Restlessly, Jungkook paced back and forth in his cabin, his mind racing with worry. The weight of uncertainty hung heavy in the air as he considered his next move. Recalling Leena's advice, he remembered her words echoing in his mind: "You have to stay here when the CEO is in his cabin." Glancing at the clock, it read 4:45, signaling the approaching end of his workday. Normally, his day would wind down by 5 pm, but today was anything but normal.
His gaze flickered towards the door leading to the CEO's cabin, his heart pounding with apprehension. Should he stay or leave? The consequences of his mistake loomed ominously as he stood at a crossroads, unsure of what lay ahead.
Taehyung remained in his room until 6 pm, immersed in his work. As both Jackson and Taehyung emerged from their respective cabins, Jungkook, eager not to be left behind, swiftly grabbed his bag and dashed out, fearing being late.
"I forgot my wallet," Taehyung muttered to himself, patting his pocket. "Do one thing, bring my car from the parking," he instructed Jackson, handing over the key before continuing on his way. However, as he walked, someone collided with him, causing Taehyung to lose his balance and tumble to the ground, with Jungkook falling on top of him.
Gulping nervously, Jungkook quickly straightened himself and addressed Taehyung, "Sir..." Taehyung, regaining his composure, stood up as well, his expression calm as he assessed the situation. "Are you okay?" he asked calmly, his concern evident in his tone.
Me? I... Sorry it's...
"ARE YOU OKAY WITH YOUR EYESIGHT?" Taehyung's voice boomed, causing Jungkook to jump as if struck by an electric shock. "Why are you always hitting me?" Taehyung's face flushed with anger, his frustration evident in his tone.
Tears welled up in Jungkook's eyes, and his lips quivered with fear. "I'm warning you, Mr.," Taehyung continued, pointing a finger at the trembling boy. "If you do something like this next time, then... get lost!" Another roar filled the air as Taehyung's patience wore thin.
Feeling overwhelmed, Jungkook turned on his heels and ran as fast as he could, the sting of Taehyung's words echoing in his mind. The weight of his mistake and the confrontation left him shaken as he hurriedly made his escape.

"Okay, Appa... Bye..." Jungkook choked out before abruptly ending the call, his emotions overwhelming him as tears streamed down his face.
"Oh God, Kooki..." Mingyu sighed, his heart aching at the sight of Jungkook's distress. "Just leave it... He's not going to fire you, by the way."
Jungkook's shoulders shook with silent sobs as he struggled to speak. "But me..." His words caught in his throat, the weight of Taehyung's reprimand still heavy on his mind.
."Jungkook, listen," Mingyu began, catching Jungkook's attention. "Kim Taehyung is the CEO of Kim's group, but he's settled in the UK. He'll come here for some urgent project or something, but he'll go back as soon as it's done."
Jungkook nodded, absorbing the information. "Yes," Mingyu continued, "I've been working with their firm for six years. Mr. Jackson is the one who takes care of all the business in Korea. So you don't have to worry; he's not going to fire you."
Mingyu reassured Jungkook, "The whole Kim family is settled in London, Jungkook. Taehyung might go back today. He doesn't stay here for long."
**************
"Do you believe in love at first sight?" Taehyung inquired, catching his house manager off guard.
"What?" The manager stared at Taehyung, surprised by the unexpected question.
"So, do you believe in love at first sight?" Taehyung repeated, his curiosity evident.
The manager hesitated, unsure of how to respond. "Me? I... I don't know..." he stammered, his thoughts jumbled as he contemplated the notion.
"Stupid," Taehyung muttered to himself as he made his way upstairs. "Inform Dad I'm staying here for a month and tell Mr. Samuel to come here and join me."
The manager watched Taehyung's departure with a mixture of confusion and concern. "A month," he mumbled to himself, shaking his head in disbelief. "The man who doesn't like staying here for a day is now staying for a whole month. But why? Who made him like this?"
Seated on the couch, the manager's mind buzzed with unanswered questions and heavy thoughts, pondering the sudden change in Taehyung's plans and what might have prompted his decision.
Mr. Kang...
coming boss ..he runs upstairs.
