Sleep Paralysis- Jungkook

Chapter 28

Soeun's POV

Months past since the deal with Taehyungs and Jungkooks company was made official to the public. This agreement was not received well since 'All Season's Cosmetics' was meant to merge with his fiance's company which Taehyung informed me all about.

Them merging was to save both the dropping stock prices that have been seen before Jungkook took over the company. Due to Taehyungs and Jungkooks companies being tied together and currently Taehyung being the only company retailing Jungkooks products, Taehyungs company has grown immensely and so has Jungkooks due to my ever so nack at marketing and strategy. 

After the deal was made Taehyung and I spent a lot of time at Jungkooks company mainly to consult with Jin and Namjoon as they are two of the most important people within the company. We would occasionally visit Jungkook every now and then when we had time but his fiance was always in the room. 

Every time I saw his face in his own company and especially near his fiance he would look so pained and saddened. Almost like he was depressed. It reminded me of Taehyung when he visited Australia for the first time, it was actually him temporarily running away. I housed Taehyung, fed him and explored with him allowing himself to find him again. 

That was what Jungkook felt like, he looked like he was lost and doesn't know his place in the world anymore. But things would make a three hundred and sixty-degree change when he came over to Taehyungs company. He would look relaxed, comfortable and ultimately happy. There were also times where I ate dinner with him and Taehyung, but the fondest memories of your dinners were when we were preparing for one of Jungkooks cosmetic lines and we prepared a whole event for it. And late at night when we were all working together in Taehyungs office we ordered delivery and ate together like true friends. 

We laughed, we joked and we worked. Hard. 

All of this didn't happen until Jungkook apologised to me which was a very emotional day for both of us. 

One day Jungkook came to Tae's company building unannounced and he kneeled in front of me asking for forgiveness. I couldn't bear to watch Jungkook look so broken and that was the turning point where we both started healing. Our shattered hearts were slowly mending at an incredibly slow pace but none the less it was healing. 

Momentarily Hypnos stopped attacking me completely and I have been feeling amazing, but there is still a part of me that believes it is lurking around.

...

"Hey, Tae do you think we should surprise visit Jungkook while we are here?", I asked Tae as we left the conference room. 

"Sure, kinda wondering why he didn't show up to the conference, usually he never misses one of these." 

When we got out of the elevator Taehyung and I were met with a very panicked Mr Lee Jungkooks secretary. 

"Hey, are you alright?", I asked him before I heard the screaming coming from Jungkook's room. 

 "I TOLD YOU I DON'T WANT TO MARRY HER, THIS COMPANY IS DOING FINE! IM DOING FINE! THERE IS NO NEED TO SAVE THAT HORRIBLE COMPANY.", I heard Jungkooks cry for help in his screaming.

"WHAT HAS GOTTEN INTO YOU JUNGKOOK SHES YOUR FIANCE AND THATS HER COMPANY THAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. HOW DARE YOU SHAME OUR FAMILY LIKE THAT! DO YOU NOT HAVE A BRAIN? WAS ALL THAT STUDY FOR NOTHING?", I heard an aged woman's voice that I recognised all too well. 

"This is what's wrong with us, I can never be happy...", Jungkook broke down. 

Taehyung and I were eavesdropping.

"Cut all ties with Kim's retail and get back to the planned merging. You had enough rebellion, there is a limit to how much I can look past your childish acts.",Jungkooks mother ordered. 

"I am not going to cut ties with Kim's Retails. The company is doing so well right now and more than that I am happy, I have friends and co-workers that support me and make me smile", I could her the desperateness in Jungkooks voice.

"GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR FUCKING ASSHOLE, HAPPINESS? THAT DOESN'T EXIST IN A WORLD AS TAINTED AS THIS ONE. MONEY IS ALL YOU NEED. I THOUGHT YOU STARTED GETTING BETTER AFTER I GOT RIDE OF THAT FILTH FIVE YEARS AGO.", Jungkooks mother shouted at Jungkook, I had to close my eyes to contain my anger. I wasn't even angry she called me filth. I was angry at the way she treated her son. 

This explains a lot about how Jungkook acts. It's all his mother controlling his every move. 

"GET OUT! NOW!", I heard Jungkook roar. 

With that Taehyung and I backed away from the double doors to avoid getting it by it when it opens. When it did finally open I was met with Jungkooks mother staring me down with a glare. 

"YOU!", She screamed finally losing it after seeing my face. I saw Jungkook alerted and he bolted to us.

"I'm sorry who are you?", I mocked her.

"How did filth like you get into this company building!", She degraded me even further. 

"I was here for a conference and am here to deliver the report to Mr Jeon", I sternly hold my ground. I gave Jungkook the 'Im fine' look as he looked distressed behind his mother.

"I said why is a disease like you here! in front of my eyes."

"Insult me one more time and I swear to god I will throw you out of the window", I glared at her.

"YOU'RE THE REASON WHY MY JUNGKOOK DOESN'T WANT TO MARRY HIS FIANCE, WHY DID YOU HAVE TO COME BACK AFTER I GAVE YOU ALL THOSE FUCKING WARNING!", She screamed at me and started pulling my hair.

I was not going to let her just attack me out of nowhere so I grabbed her hair as well and started pulling at it ripping many strands from her weak hair. 

"I HAVE DONE NOTHING TO MR JEON. HELL, I DONT EVEN WORK UNDER HIM". I shout during the hair tug of war. 

Both Jungkook and Taehyung were trying to pray her off me which they did but I held on to her hair attacking her. I had enough of her treating me like I was garbage and she needed to taste some good old beat downs. 

After a while of Jungkooks mother screaming in pain, I let go and I patted my blouse and looked at her in the eyes. 

"She's my personal assistant and advisor, this is not acceptable to treat my employee like this", Taehyung warned Jungkooks mother still gripping her wrists.

Everything stopped and Jungkooks mother retreated to the elevator. 

"You're still just a worker and you will never be in a higher position", She spat. 

"At least I am happy", I shouted to her not letting her have the last word like the last time we met. 

"Are you okay", Jungkook asked worriedly patting my hair down and dusting my shoulder and checking if I got hurt anywhere. He noticed what he was doing and detached his hands and slowly backed off. 

"Should you worry about your mother? I grabbed her hair really hard", I said. 

"I don't care about her...", Jungkook confessed. 

Everything just went silent and I handed Jungkook the report. 

"This is about a new event we are planning on launching for cosmetics day"

"Thank you..."
