Present

Y/N's P.O.V
He stared at me from behind, I could see the anger in his gaze in the mirror front of me. Was it for me? I wondered. I turned around to face him. Gathering every ounce of courage, I said, "Yes."
"We were in high school and it lasted only a few weeks. He then moved away and I moved on." I said.
His eyes softened and he rushed to hug me.
He was very confusing to read at times.
"This is complicated but this doesn't change anything between us, right Y/N? He asked as he pulled me in more tightly.
"No, it's fine. Like I said, I'm over him. I was just shocked to see him suddenly after all these years." I said, reassuring him. He pulled back and looked in my eyes.
"Y/N are you sure? Cause if you're not, just say the word and I'll ask him to leave." he said clenching his fists
"No Jungkook, it's fine. He's your best friend. I've forgiven him, you should too. No point holding grudges." I said as I unclenched his fist and held his hand, bringing it up to my mouth and kissing the back of his palm softly, to calm him down.
"I guess I'll talk to him in private someday and demand an explanation" he said and pecked my lips. "Let me do that please" he begged. I nodded.

We decided to go back downstairs and join our guests.
The guys looked up as we descended down the stairs.
"Are you alright, Y/N?" Jimin asked as he rushed to hug me.
"I'm fine" I said, smiling.
I looked at Tae. His eyes glistened as he looked back at me.
"Y/N.." he started but Jungkook interrupted him.
"Let's eat, shall we? I'm starving babe." He took my hand and led us to the dining table.
While eating, I felt I was being stared at.
I looked to my right, Jungkook was looking at me and then at Taehyung while Taehyung kept stealing glances at me.
I cleared my throat and they both focused on their food.
"Hey Kookie, how will things work now that you'll be the CEO? Namjoon spoke, breaking the silence.
C.E.O? What? Am I missing something here? I was confused.
" What is he taking about Jungkook?" I asked, slightly nervous.
"Ugh I wanted to surprise her hyung!" He whined and everyone laughed.
"Sorry I'm just too excited" Namjoon said with a smile, flashing his gorgeous dimples.
"My dad is handing me the reins of our company" he said and pecked my cheek.
"What? You didn't tell me this. What about the hotel that we both were going to build together?" Taehyung asked as his face went blank.
"No one was supposed to know until tomorrow. As for the hotel, we'll figure it out later." Jungkook said, bluntly.
After dinner they spoke about business and we then hung out in the living room.
"How is Jungkook treating you Y/N?" Jin asked, grinning from ear to ear.
"Well, he's very good to me. Very sweet." I said, trying not to give them too much information.
"Hoseok is coming tomorrow with his girlfriend" Jimin said as he read the text on his phone.
"You won't believe how head over heels he is for her" he continued "Just like our Kookie is for Y/N." He winked.
I blushed, slowly peeking at Jungkook, he winked at me too.
Gosh, these guys!
"There will be a small function tomorrow at the office to declare me as the new boss and then we'll have a party of our own here." Jungkook explained.
I could see Taehyung shift in his seat, clearly uncomfortable.
After chatting for a while, the boys left.
We got ready for bed. I lay next to him, my head on his chest. I could hear his heartbeat. My boyfriend, a C.E.O? Who would have thought?
"Jeon Industries and Group of Hotels" was one of the most successful companies and ranked in the top 5 list of hoteliers and restaurateurs.
Over the past few days, seeing him work hard, I knew he truly deserved this extravagant opportunity.
"What are you thinking about?" He asked.
"I'm just really happy and proud of you Jungkook. You deserve this and so much more!" I said as I looked up at him.
"Thanks babe" he pecked my forehead, "I love you".
"I love you more" I said and we drifted off to sleep.

Meanwhile,
Taehyung's P.O.V

I sat in the bar, already having downed 3 glasses of whiskey.
Two things kept running circles in my head, not ready to stop.
Y/N, God she looked so amazing! Man, I was so foolish back in school. Since she was a junior and was not that popular, my friends used to tease me so I started avoiding her. One night during a party, I ended up so drunk that I slept with someone. Not having the guts to tell her the truth, I ghosted her and then my family moved to Busan and I never looked back.
Did I love her? I guess I did before the teasing began.
I met Jungkook at my new school here. We became best friends. But as of now, I don't know. I'm sure Y/N told him about me. He seemed very cold towards me earlier. No wonder, I thought.
Jealousy spread through my body as I clenched my jaw, holding the glass tight, almost close to breaking it before a voice called out my name.
"Tae" said a man in a suit, his hair slicked back by gel, it shined under the light above us.
He sat next to me and ordered himself a drink.
"I don't remember inviting you" I said and scoffed.
"I see you've got the news" He said smirking.
"How did you know?" I asked, curiously.
"I have my ways, besides it's vital to know what my rival is upto." He said and sipped on his drink.
"Not only does Jungkook become bigger than you will ever be, he also gets that girl you dated. Jungkook 2, Taehyung 0. He said putting his drink down. "I do my homework" he said when I looked at him, confused, wondering how he knew about me and Y/N.
My blood started boiling to the point that I could kill him.
It hurt more because it was the truth. I've always felt jealous of Jungkook because he belonged to a wealthy family but also was a nice guy.
I ignored the man and was about to leave when he grabbed my arm.
"Wait, where are you off to?" He said, "I have a proposition for you." he said as he gestured the bartender to give me a drink.
I gulped it down, hoping that the burn in my throat will eventually kill me. Nope.
"That hotel which you were going to build with Jungkook, do it with me instead. Much bigger than you planned." He looked at me waiting for a reaction.
"I'll fund it but you'll be the frontrunner." He said trying to convince me to accept his offer.
The place that me and Jungkook bought was huge and had a lot of potential to attract local and international tourists.
He placed a card in my hand as he got up.
"Think about it and let me know in 48 hours. Remember, regardless of whether you accept this or not, this time tomorrow, Jeon Jungkook will become the youngest billionaire in the world."
"Choose wisely." He said and left.
I saw the card.

Owen Lee.

That son of a bitch, I thought, as I put the card in my pocket.

Decisions, decisions.
