REWIND

CHAPTER TWO

JUNGKOOK'S POV

            Walking out of DaeNam Hospital's exit, I called my driver Sean to bring the car upfront. "Sir, should we drive back to the office?" He walks around the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS to open the back door for me. "No Sean, drive me home. It has been a long day." I take a seat and lay my head on the headrest. "Is Daniel pretending not to know me?" I try massaging my forehead as I think about what happened a few minutes ago. 

            My phone rings after pulling out of the hospital. "Jeon" I answer the call listing to my assistant ramble about our recent project. "Unless M&C provide their documents, don't accept their ideas, Poy. We are not carrying dead weight. I don't want any complications. Is he waiting for me? I wasn't planning on going back today." I hate it when companies don't follow the rules. "You know what? Poy, scratch that. I am heading back to the office now. We can talk about it more when I get there. Tell Jiho to wait for me." I hang up. "Sean, change of plan. Drive me back to the office." "Okay, sir."

----------------------

           Its 3:55 pm, I just finished taking care of M&C issues with Jiho and Poy. I'm in the car with Sean driving to UN Village in Hannam-dong, where I own a penthouse. Sean just took the Han River highway when I noticed an old red car parked on the side of the road with the hood up. A young guy that looks just like Daniel is standing in front of the car in distress looking through its engine. "Sean, stop the car. Move forward a little and park in front of the red car." It's him, the same guy I met this morning. If he isn't Daniel, who is he? "Okay, sir."

           Just as I exit my car, he turns around. He looks just like him; about the same age if I am not mistaken. He looks stress. "Hey there, what seems to be the problem? Can I be of help?" He is a beautiful young man, just like Daniel. What am I thinking? They practically look the same, like they are the same person. "It's you. I'm so sorry again about this morning. Yes, I will need all the help I can get. My car broke down. I have no idea what I should do. I'm not keen on this kind of stuff, although I'm good with my hands." Wow, he talks a lot. His voice is so deep and sweet. "I can give you a ride; just let me know where you need to go."

           "I will appreciate the help, but you don't have to. I can just call a tow truck company." He is considerate as well. "It's no problem at all. I can have my driver take care of your car while I drive you to your destination. How is that?" I think he his thinking about the option. Maybe he will agree to the idea. "I will say yes if it's no bother to you or your driver." "It's no bother at all. Give me a minute."

              "Sean, I need you to call my mechanic. Have them tow this car to their workshop. Make sure they have it fixed by tomorrow. I'm sure this young man will need it by then." Sean hands over my car keys to me. "Of course, can I have the car keys?" The young man gave Sean his car keys. "Call me and let me know how everything goes." He went to his car to gather his belongings. I lead him to my car and open the front door for him.

              "You don't need to do that; I could get the door myself." He looks apologetic to me."You can just say thank you. It's no bother to me." I hop into the driver seat as I pull out on the highway. "So, where can I drop you off ...?"

               "Taehyung, my name is Taehyung. I live in Hannam-Dong." His name is as beautiful as him. "I'm Jungkook. We live in the same neighborhood, Taehyung." "That's good; I will hate to put you out of your way." He is such a gentleman. "As I said, it's not a problem. Can I have your number? I can contact you when my mechanics finish their work in your car." I unlock my phone and hand it over to him. After a few minutes, he hands it back to me. "I saved it as Kim Taehyung. You can give me an estimate of the repair. I will wire it to you."

             "Don't worry about the payment; I will take care of it. By the way, that car isn't safe to drive anymore. It could be dangerous."

            "I know Georgie is an old car. My parents gave it to me as a graduation gift. I'm still kind of attached to it. I can't even afford to buy another one just yet, maybe later in the future. For now, he is all have got." He speaks so brightly, but there is a bit of sadness in his tone of voice. "You name your car Georgie?"

              "He looks like a George, don't you think?"

              "Yes, he does look like a George. I hope I'm not nosy. Do you work at DaeNam hospital?" I just need to know. I need to know a lot of things. What is going on? Why does he look just like Daniel? "You are just curious, Jungkook. For now, I'm not an employee. I was just there for a job interview. Hopefully, they will accept me as an intern."

            "What internship program? Which of the departments did apply too?" Namjoon Hyung is a surgeon; he didn't say anything about interviewing anyone today. Maybe someone else did the interview. It could be another department too. "In the Dietician department, I decided to intern first before apply for their Registered Dietician (RD) position. You know, to get my foot in first." Wow, he will be working with Jin Hyung. Then I can see him more often.

            "I don't know you well, but I think you will be a great dietician."

            "You think so?" "I believe so. I can feel it."

             AFTER ABOUT FOUR TURNS INTO HIS NEIGHBORHOOD,  we finally made it to the front of his apartment complex. I stop the car to face him. "Well, Taehyung, it is nice meeting you today." He bit his lips gently as he gathers his belongings. "The pleasure is all mines Jungkook. I truly appreciate your help today. You saved me big time." I watch him discreetly observing is actions. He looks just like Daniel, but their personalities are different. "I wouldn't be a gentleman if I didn't help a beautiful guy like you, would I?" He smiles up at me, biting his lips again. "I should get going, thanks again."

           "You are welcome. Expect my call tomorrow." I unlock the car door for him as he carefully climbs down and enters his complex. I drove off a few moments after he went into the house.
