Chapter 9: A day of Work

Author pov:

“Money comes first for the people who cares for wealth , 

But they forgot , wealth is a mindset not a bank balance."

------------

The number of zeroes can't decide your wealth and richness because a person can only be rich by his good doings , nature and thinking. But lately the world has been setting a different stranded. A person is rich only if he had uncountable zeroes in his bank balance no matter if he is making all of those money by deceiving someone or betraying someone.

However there are only few people who are wealthy by money as well as by their thinking but the count of people falling in the former category is much more than the latter one because the mind of people are being corrupted by the new way of their thinking. The new rules set by people in this world is making them follow otherwise rather than the decent one.

Alas! Jungkook was surrounded by just those type of people who thinks money is everything for them. For example his father , who would do anything for money even if it means he has to sell all of his ethics and morals.

And that's why it's one of the reason why Jungkook has limited numbers of people around him which he can count on his fingers. Though he can't skip the interactions he has to face with them , can he? And most importantly he can't ignore his father for all just like today..

"This Sunday , Han's are throwing a business party for our collaboration. I hope to see you there." Mr Jeon spoke as he cut the piece of meat before tossing it in his mouth while Jungkook's hand stopped midway.

"PALTY." Ha-ri yelled listening the word party while on the other Jungkook can't help but glare at his father who was sitting their unbothered after blasting a bomb on his head.

"I'm sorry , I've work." Jungkook apologise even though he knows it wasn't the need. It's not like he has ever joined his father in his useless business party before , but this time he knows it's different and his father would do anything to make him agree.

"For the last time listen to me kook , I promise I won't force you again." Jungkook nodded his head slowly as he put down his fork and wiped his lips with a tissue before tossing it on his now empty plate.

"I suppose that's what you're doing right now. You requested and gave me an option to deny and I did , I hope it isn't that hard to understand , father. And it's not kook for you and I think it's nothing for you." Saying this he pushed his chair and stood up to leave , after picking Ha-ri in his arms. The little girl kept her lips glued shut after sensing the change of mood in his father even though she wanted the party so bad.

"Jungkook. Listen to me—."

"There's nothing to say or listen Mr Jeon. I'm done talking." Jungkook didn't turn back as he said those words and left. Ha-ri who was in her father's arm turned around to look as her granda who was looking somewhat mad at something. Though he smiled at her when he caught her staring at him until the smile was gone right when she was out of his vision.

"Pops , palty plws." Jungkook sighed when he heard Ha-ri's request as he can't help but curse his father in his mind for even mentioning something like this in front of his daughter.

"Princess , it's your birthday after three weeks. How about pops give you a big party on your birthday , hmm?" Jungkook coaxed Ha-ri who beamed at the mention of her birthday causing jungkook to smile. Putting the girl down on her feets Jungkook kneeled down before her as he threw his hair back which was disturbing his eyes.
