Sugar Daddy [Taekook] ✓

Chapter 20

The next day, Taehyung spent most of his time pacing back and forth in his apartment, rehearsing what he needs to say to Jungkook. Eye bags can be seen under his eyes, since he couldn't stop himself from imagining the negative consequences that will have after he reveals the truth to Jungkook.

He doesn't know whether Jungkook will refuse to listen to him, or getting really angry like how he did at the birthday party. But no matter how it ends up, Jungkook still deserves to know the truth.

After hours of contemplation, Taehyung finally took a deep breath and picked up his phone, dialing Jungkook's number.

A few seconds later, he heard the familiar soft voice answering, "Hello?"

"Hey, sweetheart," Taehyung called out, voice sounding hoarse and deep, "Did I disturb you?"

"Of course not." He heard Jungkook let out a set of giggles, "Why did you call me?"

Taehyung's heart pounds after hearing the question. "It's just... I have something important to tell you. Can we meet at the bar at 8 today?"

Jungkook paused, then replied, "Sure. I have something to discuss with you also. See you later then?"

"Sure." Taehyung answered before cutting the call off, taking a shaky breath before dropping himself to the couch. He felt his heart was getting weighted by a huge stone, and it will not be removed until he reveals his true identity to Jungkook.

He just hopes the male will not react so bad to the truth.

Jungkook reached to the bar at 8 pm as promised, entered the noisy places and began to search for Taehyung's presence. As he made his way through the crowd, he spotted Taehyung at a corner table. His eyes lit up and was about to call out the male, a harsh grip on his elbow stopped him.

"Well, hello there, cutie." It was a man, clearly drunk, scanning Jungkook from head to toes that makes the boy feel really uncomfortable. "What's a pretty boy like you doing here all alone?"

Jungkook's eyebrows creased to a frown, anger could be seen in his face. "None of your business. Let go of me." He replied coldly before pushing the man away in full force.

The man stumbled, chuckled out, "So feisty. Let me just-" "Just what?"

Jungkook blinked in surprise when a more bulky figure, which is none other than Taehyung, stood in front of him, covering his whole frame. He couldn't see Taehyung's expression from the back, but from the man's voice, Jungkook can sense that he's mad.

"And who are you? His little boyfriend?" The man asked Taehyung, hiccuped at the end of his sentence, "So, he's yours? We can share him-"

At the next moment, the man already landed on the floor after Taehyung giving a hard punch on his face. Gasps erupted from the people around them, and most of them backed away, not wanting to get involved in this mess.

"What's your problem-" Before the could finish his sentence, Taehyung pulled him up, fist again connected with the man's jaw. Then Jungkook heard Taehyung said,

"He's not mine nor yours. He belongs to himself." Taehyung punched the man again, making the man totally lost consciousness, "You made him feel uncomfortable."

Jungkook would be lying if he says his heart didn't flutter at Taehyung's words.

Taehyung let go of the man, like he's the dirtiest garbage in the world. People around them left when they realise the show has ended. He turned to Jungkook, chest heaving slightly, eyes were darkened for a second before turning into concern, "Are you okay? Did he hurt you?" He sighed loudly, "I shouldn't have ask you to meet me here..."

Jungkook could sense the sadness and guiltiness in Taehyung, so he quickly grabbed Taehyung's hand, caressing his knuckles, "I'm fine. Told you I'm not a fragile princess or what." He teased, "Plus, you protected me this time."

Taehyung took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. His eyes met Jungkook's, and his expression softened, forcing a smile out when he saw Jungkook's worry face. "I have booked a VIP room, let's get inside first."

Jungkook nodded, letting Taehyung hold his hand as they headed towards the same room that they went a few weeks ago.

Once they entered the room, the noises and music were completely blocked, and the atmosphere turned lighter. The room was dimly lit, still having the same interior design, just like the last time they were here. Taehyung closed the door behind them while Jungkook walked towards the bed, sitting down.

"So... You said you have something to tell me?" Jungkook asked, tilting his head. He doesn't know why Taehyung's shoulder tensed after he said that so he asked, "Taehyungie, are you alright?"

Taehyung looked up, meeting Jungkook's gaze. He swallowed hard, heart pounding. The previous rehearsal that he had in his apartment was forgotten because he was too nervous now.

"Jungkook, promise me you won't be mad. Whatever I say to you later, you can get angry at me, scold me, punch me or whatever, but please, don't push me away." Taehyung whispered, and his words make Jungkook feel more worried.

Jungkook hesitated for a moment before nodding his head, "I promise."

Taehyung let out a shaky sigh, running a hand through his hair. "You see, Jungkook... I'm not a stripper in this bar. I'm actually a-" Before he could finished his sentence, a set of rapid knocks can be heard.

Taehyung turned around, frowning as he approached to get the door. He opened the door and revealed his right hand man, Jaehyun. The man looks breathless, as if he had ran the whole way here.

"S-Sir Kim, Lim is here. He's here with his men." Jaehyun said.

Taehyung's eyes widened upon the statement. His eyes darkened, and the grip on the door handle tightened, his knuckles turning white. He turned slightly to glance at Jungkook, who was still sitting on the bed, eyes filled with confusion.

"Lim?" Jungkook asked, standing up and taking a few hesitant steps towards Taehyung.

Taehyung looked at Jaehyun, "Send more men to guard this room, and send the rest of them to deal with that old man. I will get there as soon as possible." He said, earning a nod from Jaehyun.

He closed the door before walking quickly over to Jungkook, grabbing both of his hands gently, "Jungkook, I don't have much time now so I need you to listen to me carefully. I'm actually the biggest mafia boss in the world, and Lim is one of my rival, who's now in this bar, ready to fight with me."
