Sacrifices (vkook)

83

Jungkook's phone is ringing nonstop and there are so many people in and out of his office dropping of paperwork that he loses count.

He tries his best to keep a positive attitude with the people working under him and he tries not to be short tempered but that's extremely hard when he's trying to do so many things at once.

    "Mr. Jeon, Mr. Kang got back to us about the deal in Japan, should I send his call through?" Secretary Cho asks from the doorway.

    "Uh...yeah. Go ahead." He says shooting her a smile even though he feels like his head is going to explode.

She disappears and his phone rings a few moments later.

    "Mr. Kang, it's good to hear from you again." Jungkook says in a fake cheery tone as he types up stuff onto his computer.

    "Mr. Jeon," Secretary Cho reappears. "Vice President Lee would like to speak with you."

Jungkook holds up a finger as Mr. Kang goes on about something on the other line.

    "Yes, our representatives could meet you in Japan next Saturday for sure." Jungkook says grabbing a pen and scribbling the date down. "Thanks again, Mr. Kang. Take care."

He ends the call and turns back to his computer.

    "Mr. Jeon? Vice President Lee?" Cho says still standing in the door way.

    "I'm busy, is it urgent?" He asks checking the time before refocusing on the never ending document he was overviewing.

    "I'll tell him to return later."

    "I'm leaving by seven." Jungkook says.

    "You have a meeting over the phone with the head director at eight." Cho reminds. "He can't reschedule."

Jungkook huffs pressing his fingers into the bridge of his nose. "Yeah, I know. Leave me alone for a bit so I can finish this please."

She bows and exits the room silently.

Jungkook's mother had hired Secretary Cho and her intentions were obvious.

She was a bright young woman with a beautiful smile and fair complexion, who wouldn't be attracted to her? She had her head screwed on right and had high expectations for herself and her future.

But none of that meant anything to Jungkook, you see, part of being gay means you aren't attracted to women.

No one should have to explain that, right? It's obvious, a given, literally the definition of gay. But try explaining that to Jungkook's mother who thought Jungkook would snap out of it if the right girl came along.

Jungkook was nearly 22 years old and his mother was still trying to control his life.

His phone vibrates on his desk with a message from Taehyung.

Taehyungie 💜: Hobi's taking me. I'll be back before you, don't work yourself to death and leave me lonely ❤️

Jungkook smiles at the message, some of the tension leaving his shoulders as he types his response.

Junggoo 💜: be careful i love you

Taehyungie 💜: love you more
