Part 79 : Virtual eyeroll

Taehyung's POV

"Hold on! Wait a fuckin minute, Tae! Chany and Ivory's brother Baekhyun?! Whaaat!?" Jimin squeals over the phone.

"Chim, you should have seen it. Chany was a sloppy mumbling mess." I snicker.

"Wait, didn't he say he wasn't interested in dating?"

"Uh, yeah. He repeated it again last night too. He's doing very well in his drug recovery. He said he doesn't need man trouble, but then Baek showed up." I laugh, slapping my knee.

"But isn't Baek newly divorced?

"Yeah, but he was in a bad marriage with my former client Jackson."

"Oh, God, this is juicy!" Jimin chuckles. "That was a pretty bad marriage if his husband was fucking you."

"Jimin, his cheating ass is trying to get Baek back. Once a cheater always a cheater is what I say."

"What the hell! I hope he isn't falling for his shit!"

"Unfortunately, he's lonely and probably horny," I say shaking my head.

"Oh, hell no! Please tell me he's not doing the friends with benefits bullshit. That shit never works. Tae it's just an excuse for Jackson to keep getting some booty."

"That's right. Some Baek Booty. Late night booty calls, that's all."

"So true, Tae. So true."

"We've got to help him out, Tae!" I smile knowing that my best friend and I are speaking the same language.

"Jimin! Stop that gossiping! I can hear you down the hall from my office. You and Tae need to stay out of Chany's business!" I halt hearing Yoongi.

"How do you know I'm talking to Tae?" I put my hand over my mouth to quiet the laugh that rumbles in my throat.

"Because that's your, little gossiping buddy. I'm trying to get some work done!" My goodness he's upset.

"Sorry sweetie," Jimin says in a sweet voice that's as smooth as butter.

"Hold on, Tae." My phone goes quiet and then I hear the door shut.

"Chim, what's going on with Yoongi?" I ask, although I heard every word.

"Nothing important," Jimin scoffs. "So, do you think Jackson's a threat?"

"As long as he keeps his ass out of South Korea, Baek's booty should be safe."

"Well damn, Tae, wasn't Chany the family scoundrel, the black sheep, a drunk, gambler, and hoe? It might be a bit hard trying to convince Baek to go out with him."

"The key word there, my friend, is 'was.' Chany is a different person. He and Kookie are working hard on repairing their relationship."

"What relationship? Those two never had a relationship. But that's great. Chany has come a long way. So, tell me about Jackson, Tae."

"Uh, he's a successful businessman, wealthy, charming, smart, handsome, and has a good body. Kookie likes him as a friend. And Jackson was very concerned about Kookie finding out about our business relations, so to speak." I share.

"So, a good friend but a shitty husband."

"Correct, Chim."

"Tae, didn't you tell me Chany blew through his trust fund?"

"Unfortunately, he did."

"Sorry Tae, but his ass is in trouble. Luckily for him, I do like a challenge, and this is going to be a tough one. No confidence, no money, and a whole lot of fucked up past. No problem, we'll handle it."
