A Part of Me [Completed] ✅

Chapter 34

Seokjin

"Yes please. Put a marker on Krimsby-Sachs. Yes 2 points up Alex. Thank you."

I ended my call and looked up to find Jungkook's father looking at me rather curiously.

"Anything wrong Mr Jeon?"

"Uh, well, I wasn't eavesdropping or anything but I happened to overhear you speak about Krimsby-Sachs. Are you by any chance investing in them?"

I could see he was trying to hide his interest but was failing badly. I hid my smirk and walked to the drawing room, pulling off my coat and driving gloves. He followed me like a puppy dog.

"Yes. I've invested in them. I play the markets once in a while Mr Jeon. I like to make my money with a little exhilaration," I smiled sardonically. His interest was peaked even further.

"I play the markets too but I think I'm too cautious sometimes," he admitted rather shamefaced.

"Well, if you want, I can always give you some tips. I have a business degree too you know."

"You do? That I did not know." He seemed to be lost in thought as he poured himself a whiskey. He offered me a glass and I politely declined. "Forgive me, I forgot, you're expecting." I waved it off. "So you're interested in business as well as cooking?"

"I wouldn't call it cooking Mr Jeon, I am a chef, actually, a two star Michelin chef. I have worked very hard to build a reputation for fine dining in a very short space of time. And yes, I do have a vested interest in business as well. Besides studying business, I had to learn a great deal more about it in my culinary arts degree as well. Chefs do require it as semestral work since some of us do go on to owning our own businesses sometimes."

He looked at me with more interest. "I won't hide my surprise. I didn't take you for being this adept at business or having such an acute mind."

I scoffed at his words. "So you admit that you had your assumptions about me then?"

He became slightly flustered at my blatant question. "Well, yes, I do admit to being biased, considering your eh....colorful past?" He raised an eyebrow.

"I suppose I cannot begrudge you that Mr Jeon. My past precedes me here. I have yet to establish a raport with you and your family. I am curious however, if I may ask, what brought on your decision to allow me to live here?"

He looked away some what embarrassed. "Seokjin, please do not get me wrong, but like you have so eloquently put it, your past did in fact precede you here and we have been biased with that. Also, you and Jungkook haven't exactly been forthright with your relationship."

"I agree. But there were extenuating circumstances that forbade us from ever doing that. I am sure you have heard some of it."

"I have. But I would also like to hear them from you. With regards to my decision; we have noticed a marked change in Seojoon in the past few days. He seems happier, more carefree and his smiles are genuine when he speaks of you. I think we might have been doing him a disservice in not allowing you to be near him. But I'm also curious, why didn't you insist that he stay with you? As a parent, you could claim this in court. In fact, we were well prepared for you to do just that and were already in talks with our lawyers to have you declared as unfit."

"Mr Jeon, I love my son. I did not accept him as mine many years ago because of a contract that existed between myself and Jimin hyung but I had many other reasons for denying myself the right to my child. Even now, I do not wish to rip him from his loving home, a place of safety, something that I never had the luxury of ever knowing."

"I am profoundly moved by your sentiment. I admit, I never expected it. Again, my prejudice speaks for me. I think I owe you an apology for that. And I hope you will accept it."

"Please Mr Jeon, the circumstances that were created for us to meet, were never favourable and I don't hold you to them. However, I do respect your apology and accept it if it brings you comfort. I would also like to thank you for allowing me in your home."

He rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Seokjin, please accept my humble gratitude in giving Jungkook and Jimin a real chance at a family when you did. I must say, I have put most of my misgivings about you aside after speaking with you. And I thank you for carrying my new grandchild. I will honour this child as well."

I wanted to jump with joy but I composed myself. "Please Mr Jeon, call me Jin. And thank you. I will endeavour to uphold the respect of this family."

"Call me Taewon, Jin," he smiled.

We chatted more about the markets and I gave him the name of my consultant. He was very impressed with my knowledge of current trends and the way the markets moved. My intuition spoke volumes on certain companies and their profit margins and he became eager to try them out. We crunched some numbers and were so engrossed that we didn't notice when his wife entered the room. She cleared her throat knowingly and looked at us sceptically. I excused myself and noticed Jungkook's father look at me forlornly when I made my way out of the room. I smiled inwardly.

"Well, it seems you have made a friend already?" My fiancè smiled and caressed my waist when I entered our suite. Seojoon was already asleep when I went in to check on him. I had spent much time with Jungkook's father.

I smiled naughtily but refrained from commenting. He smirked and captured my lips with his own before bending down and caressing my tummy.

"Don't worry abeoji's pretty princess, I still have time for you even if appa is ignoring us all now that he has a new friend."

I whacked him over the head and rolled my eyes as he kissed my tummy.

"Ouch!" He rubbed his head and I pulled him up to kiss him deeply.

"You needy little thing hyungie. Don't be jealous of your father," I smiled at him.

"I'm jealous of any man around my man babe. You're mine."

He grabbed my ass and I yelped as he bit my chin and pulled me to bed.

"Hyungie................."
