THE CEO | JEON JUNGKOOK FF ✅

Chapter 2

Chaeyoung had a quick shower to sober herself up since she drank earlier a little too much.

She was still hesitant to do what Lina wanted. However, Lina had already begun helping her. That only meant she was serious with her plan.

Chaeyoung exhaled loudly.

She would have needed lots of time for everything, to find a proper job and earn money. She was not even sure if she could earn enough as a beginner. But with Lina's help, almost everything had been settled. Money indeed made the world go round, and that was the ugly reality.

At first, she tried to take a loan from a bank, but she had been rejected as she was jobless.

She struggled hard on the last weeks at school, just to graduate. She had tried to borrow from a loan shark, but those people looked at her with lust, implicating that they needed something ambiguous in return.

While brushing her teeth, she looked at her reflection in the mirror. She came from a good family. She had the beauty and the brains. She knew she was gorgeous and blessed with a great body. However, there were so many like her nowadays.

But James insisted that she was the perfect one for this task because she had a weak point right now. She couldn't turn their offer down.

She knew James for almost a year now. He was well known in the entertainment industry, as he managed all the big shots and he preferred having relationships with men to women.

They had first met during their campus beauty pageant, where she had been representing their department.

James was one of the judges and from then on he had been trying to convince her to try her luck in the entertainment industry under his management. She refused then as she wanted to prioritize her studies.

Since then, they became good friends. James enjoyed her company because Chaeyoung was an open person, the 'what you see is what you get' type he always said. He liked her straightforwardness.

But Chaeyoung really couldn't help to think otherwise. She thought she would not succeed with Jungkook. She had seen from the news how frightening Jeon Jungkook could be.

All those, who had tried to put him down both in business and personally, just crumbled in a snap. Even a well-known actress was humiliated in public, because of a question that Jungkook brutally slammed to a reporter.

"Jungkook, is it true that you and Jennie are already engaged?" the reporter asked and Jungkook just frowned and said, "Do I have to answer that nonsense?"

That went trending for a month, and several reports said that Jennie was the only one throwing herself at the business tycoon. In that instant, Jennie's career crashed.

It seemed hard to fool someone like him. Chaeyoung sighed deeply. She had one week to get his attention and get near him in this country.

Chaeyoung prepared herself to sleep when she received a call from James, telling that Jungkook was at the hotel bar right now. So, she hurriedly fixed herself up and went there.

She did not even bother to look around, but directly ordered a cocktail from the bartender. She needed more drinks.

James had told her to be herself and always stay at Jungkook's eyesight and they would handle the rest. Although confused, she just followed.

She wore a stylish, long sleeved, off shoulder outfit that stopped above her knees, showing off her beautiful, long legs and fit her sexy curves with perfection.

A man in his forties suddenly approached her, he was speaking in Japanese. She didn't understand him, so she answered in English. Yet, he touched her arm and was trying to yank her.

Chaeyoung panicked and pulled her arm,

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Can't you understand English at all? I said I don't know you. How dare you touch me?"

She shouted, looking at the bartender she said,

"Can you please call security? I'm being harassed in here!"

The man was drunk and still talking in his language. He seemed to be cursing and was shouting at her. He moved closer and was about to hit her when a lean body blocked her front. The hit landed on the man's back instead.

Chaeyoung tilted her head up, to see the dark cold face of Jungkook. She heard him speak,

"Are you a stump, waiting to just get hit? Don't you know a simple dodging?"

Chaeyoung was taken aback, and all she could say was the words 'thank you'.

By that time, security had already entered the bar. She just watched Jungkook talk with the security team. She could still smell his masculine scent around her.

'What the hell Chaeyoung! What scent are you talking about, he was three meters away from you!' she scolded herself for having nonsensical thought.

Then, she felt something was placed on her shoulders.

"They want to take your statement," Jungkook said, and Chaeyoung just nodded.

She was looking at Jungkook with astonishment. He had covered her bare shoulders with his coat and held her shoulders, as they walked towards the security.

'Maybe, he is not that terrible,' Chaeyoung thought as she was feeling delighted with Jungkook's gentlemanly gesture.
