SECRETARY ||VKOOK||

CHAPTER 44

Mini surprise ahead ;)

"Kook, baby, I need to talk to you," Taehyung began nervously

"What is it, love?" Jungkook raised his eyebrows in curiosity

Taehyung took a deep breath before he began speaking. He only hoped Jungkook's reaction wouldn't be unprecedented.

He took a deep breath, not knowing how to begin. He internally cursed himself for not having thought it through, like, he could've practiced earlier or something! However, before he could attempt to speak again, he felt Jungkook's soft hands cupping his face, looking concerned as his soft doe eyes glistened with worry.

"Is everything okay, Taetae? You're worrying me," Jungkook spoke softly

Taehyung looked into his doe eyes. Fuck it, he couldn't hold it from him. The next few words freely flowed out of his mouth before he knew it.

"Our dads knew each other and mine promised to take care of you before your parents died,"

Jungkook froze, but his soft hands on Taehyung's cheeks remained intact.

"W-What? How do you-"

"I'll explain, love, just...just promise me you'll be able to bear it? I know its triggering to hear about someone who's no longer alive,"

Jungkook shook his head meekly, he wasn't sure if he could bear it, but he wanted to listen.

"I found out when I went to over to my dad's place today. He's hell bent upon you being the CEO since...he thinks that'll keep you set for life."

"So...I got this job...because of the promise he had made to my dad? In fact...I'm alive because HE paid for my medical bills and education?" Jungkook whispered

Taehyung nodded his head slowly. The younger looked like he was calm, but deep down, a storm was kicking inside him and the older knew that. He was scared of the prospect of Jungkook bursting.

There was an odd, unsettling silence for a while, before Jungkook spoke again.

"He thinks I wasn't capable enough of doing anything myself, huh?" Jungkook spoke, his voice almost inaudible

Taehyung's eyes widened. As much as he despised his father, he didn't want Jungkook to think he was merely pitied on. And he was pretty sure his father had no human like qualities to sympathise with someone, for that matter.

"Baby, my dad is the same person who had killed my mom. He's a bastard, and doesn't care for anyone, except maybe your father, whom he must've really considered a friend."

Jungkook shook his head.

"If he didn't have anything to do with my parents' death, he wouldn't have given a fuck about me. He killed your mom, what would've stopped him from killing my parents?" Jungkook's voice grew louder

"Jungkook- can you hear yourself? I agree nothing is impossible for him, but what's the connection between my mom and your parents? Hypothetically, if he wanted them dead, he could've killed you too. Not fucking take care of you all these years," Taehyung felt distasteful at the fact that he was essentially defending a monster, but Jungkook wasn't making any sense

The younger remained quite for a few moments, before his eyes widened, as if having an epiphany of sorts.

"Our marriage was also...planned." Jungkook spoke, staring right at Taehyung

Taehyung felt his breath hitch and neck almost snap.

"You don't think I was involved, do you? I wasn't, I swear! I despised you but... love...gradually happened. Nothing planned there," the urgency in Taehyung's voice caught him off guard and ge felt himself moving closer to the older and softly pecking his lips
