Jungkook's POV

I still couldn't look at him in the eyes. I would glance at him time by time but I would always end up clearing my throat for some reason. In the end, I just decided to look at these letters written in this newspaper although I don't really understand anything since I was preoccupied with the thoughts of what was bothering him to make him show that kind of expression.

Instead of seeing his aura full of confidence and sass... I saw a gloomy sky reigning over his features instead. Something I wasn't used in seeing in his sparkly eyes.

I remembered having that dream from way before. It was even before I got the news that I would be needing to attend this business party here in Paris. I had that dream of him who was moaning beneath me, the side of his face full of sweat as his lips never quieted down as my name slips from it.

I fell asleep in my office that day and the moment I woke up, I was surprised to see him with Namjoon-hyung entering my office. I remembered finding it hard to compose myself although I still managed to do it after. [A/N: Referring to Chptr. 13]

After that day I decided to distance himself from him, thinking that it was his fault. That maybe my dream was an intuition that Jimin will try to seduce me or whatever. That was also why I was so mad that I get to share a room with him. And who knows if he really planned about everything so we could sleep together in that same bed!

And that night... that night of the party. I mean it when I told him that he doesn't belong there because I don't want him to be there at all. Someone like him, an innocent boy who looked like he's still oblivious about how cruel some people on this planet shouldn't be there surrounding himself with snakes like us.

He will surely get bitten. And because he was stupid not to listen it really did happen. He really got himself in trouble, he tasted one of their venoms.

But I didn't do anything otherwise. I let him taste the venom by himself.

I wanted to pull him away from that crowd but I knew that that wouldn't be a smart thing to do. Of course, I could easily do that at that time. I could easily spat my own venom that is obviously the most poisonous one of them all but that's not how simple the world works. 

In reality, you have to think about what would happen next after your actions. And that's what I chose to do that time... because that was something my logical brain would rather do than act on the spot. And no, I wasn't being prideful... or selfish... or ignorant because I saw that his eyes were asking me to save him that time.

But I knew exactly what would happen after I would pull Jimin away from that crowd with those venomous people around us. 

Those people would dig about his life, they would do anything to know more about him, especially those who are interested in my Enterprise. It would only take a day until a scandal about how the CEO of Jeon Enterprises hooking up with a poor person would spread out and Jimin's life would turn messier after that.

But it appeared to be that he misunderstood my intention. I could see it in his expressions, how low he began to feel about himself. 

"You're the one that stands out, Jimin..." 

But somehow after uttering those words just seconds ago to him, I finally saw the shimmer back in his eyes and I am more than glad to see that. 'Good job, Jeon Jungkook.' I uttered to myself.
