Jungkook's P.O.V
I sat on the couch in my office, studying the stock market. I picked up the water bottle from the table and sipped on the chilled water, my eyes not once leaving my laptop screen.
Kwan walked in and quickly proceeded to turn on the television.
"Sir, the news." He alarmed me.
Breaking News: Notorious Businessman Owen Lee, owner of Lee Industries, fresh out of jail, in a recent interview made various claims against Jeon Industries and Group of Hotels. He accused Jeon Jungkook of conspiring against him and getting him wrongfully convicted. He also accused the company for tax evasion and violation of hospitality laws. These claims against the youngest billionaire, current owner and C.E.O of Jeon Industries and Group of Hotels are not yet proven to be true.
"I guess we'll be soon hearing from our lawyer." I said, calmly.
My phone rang but it wasn't my lawyer. It was Yoongi, calling from Daegu.
"I'm guessing you heard. " I said as I sat up from the couch and walked towards the window.
"We knew he was going to take his revenge Kook, the claims are false so we will sue him for defamation, don't worry."
"It's not the claims I am worried about, I've followed the rules and regulations and everything is proper in my business. I'm afraid he will not stop at this." I sighed.
"Is Y/N back from Sydney?" He asked.
"She'll be here tonight. And I'm guessing you're coming here too." I said.
"Of course I am, I'm leaving in an hour. In fact, I've called everyone. We've got your back Kook." He reassured me.
"Sir, your lawyer is here." Kwan said, waiting for me to react.
After a long pause, I nodded and he let him in.
Mr.Yang had been our lawyer for more than 20 years now so I knew I could trust him to handle Owen.
I bowed to him and he bowed back.
"Shall we get to work, sir?" He asked.
"Sure, please be seated." I said and proceeded to sit down in front of him.
"He is making false claims, we both know that. We can sue him for defamation and slander after we're cleared of these claims. The police will be checking our books and whether our taxes are paid properly and if there really are any violations so we will have to cooperate with them. We have nothing to hide. I assure you we will get out of this victoriously." Mr.Yang went on about the legalities of the case.
I kept working for the rest of the day.
Just because we've been sued, doesn't mean the work stops. Handling a large empire takes so much effort, I wonder how my dad handled all this for so long. He is coming to visit tomorrow after finding out about the lawsuit.
"Sir, the car is here." Kwan said, I looked at the time, it was 9:30 pm.
I had to pick Y/N from the airport and take her home. I couldn't wait to see her. I almost fell asleep in the car, that's how tired I was.
Due to the time difference, we were not able to talk much over the last week.
I craved her soft touch, the comfort of her arms around me.
She ran to me as soon as she saw me. I lifted her and spun her around. She giggled. Damn, I missed her.
We shared a deep kiss until Lisa cleared her throat.
Embarrassed, Y/N looked down, her cheeks turning crimson.
"Let's go, Kwan, first we'll drop Lisa home." He ordered.
Y/N's P.O.V
Upon reaching home, I realized I felt kinda disconnected from Jungkook as we didn't talk much this past week so I thought maybe some sexy time will make up for last week.
I walked in the closet and put on a sultry nightgown in hopes to seduce Jungkook.
As soon as I walked out, I saw him sitting on the bed, typing something on the phone.
In an attempt to distract him, I walked towards him slowly and sat on his lap.
I started to kiss his neck but he didn't react.
Worried, I looked at him, he had a blank expression on his face and kept staring at his phone.
We are together after a week of being apart, he should be happy, I thought to myself.
"Is everything okay? Lately, you seem so distant some days" I asked with a crack in my voice.
He furrowed his eyebrows, his eyes filled with anger.
"What are you even talking about? I own a large business that requires a lot of my time." He snapped.
I couldn't bring myself to say anything.
After a short pause, he kept his phone aside and spoke...
"Owen is openly making false claims about my company and trying to damage the company's reputation." He said.
I stood up immediately. "What for?" I asked.
"I'm tired, I need to sleep. I'll tell you tomorrow." He said.
I felt worried, concerned, hurt, rejected, and horny at the same time. That's a first.
Jungkook's P.O.V
I woke up, hoping that the previous day was just a nightmare. I felt so much pressure, I didn't want to disappoint my dad, my employees, my customers, and my investors.
I knew Owen would take his revenge but I had this nagging fear in the back of my head that he is not going to stop at this.
Y/N was nowhere to be seen.
I walked out in the living room and I saw all my hyungs having breakfast.
"Here he comes" Taehyung said with his mouth full of bread.
"Good morning babe!" Y/N walked over to me and kissed me on the cheek.
I felt a sense of calm, watching the people who care about me being there for me when I needed them.
"Look Jungkook, you've done everything right and we know you can handle this on your own. But we also have bought shares in your company and we've been in the business longer than you have so we're just here to help." Namjoon said and took a bite of his sandwich.
I nodded with a smile.
"Don't these sandwiches taste great? I helped Y/N make them." Jin proudly told everyone.
"Thank you Jin, I'm sure your wife will be very lucky." Y/N said and he blushed.
"Aaah my innocent eyes! Now I can't unsee it." Jimin dramatically screamed from inside the kitchen.
"What?" I asked him, confused.
He walked in the living room with a huge grin on his face.
"You keep condoms in your kitchen drawer?" He winked and laughed.
I blushed and scratched my nape, trying to figure out how I was going to explain the few times I and Y/N had sex on the kitchen countertop and figured it's best to keep a box nearby, just in case.
"The kid is blushing, for God's sake, don't tease him Jimin!" Hoseok came to my rescue.
"Attention everyone, after this whole Owen mess is over, which we will make sure happens quickly, we are all going to Jeju island for a few days!" Jimin declared.
Everyone cheered after his announcement, but my mind kept going back to the possibility of a lawsuit.
Suddenly, it hit me.
Since Owen clearly has no evidence, he will never be able to sue me.
But I knew that the false claims were enough to cause damage temporarily.
My phone rang, it was Kwan.
"Sir, the stocks have been affected. We took a hit this morning" He said.
My blood boiled.
It's time to put Owen in his place.
