[Yoongi's pov :]

In the quiet stillness of the night, memories of the chilling encounter with that brat flood my mind once again. How had my life spiraled into this maelstorm of chaos? The set of events that had followed since I met this kid has woven nothing but threads of despair and uncertainty. Was it truly my long lost love, Hoseok, who had perhaps reappeared from the shadows of my past, or is it merely a haunted resemblance.

Does my past has a link with Jungkook in any shape or form or is he just here to further make his things difficult for me?

For weeks on end these thoughts have danced a relentless tango, questioning the intricacies of fate about my past. A whole month has slipped away since my last encounter with Jungkook, his presence fading like a wisp of smoke in the wind. Perhaps he got bored, tired of toying with me, satisfied with the chaos he has sown.  I must be delighted with that thought but instead a sense of unease surrounds me, a lingering curiosity about his identity, a mystery that remains. I never dared to check the fragments of him I knew from my dreams, his name standing as a sole exception.

Well, It seemed as if the young lad was merely a bored scion, a reckless lad seeking amusement, with me unwittingly caught as his target. Yet the audacity of stealing a weapon, punching someone to unconsciousness and abducting them is beyond mere amusement. Despite all these transgressions, I found myself inexplicably extending a thread of trust towards him. For in this risky dance of danger the fear of morality loomed large, a truth I cared less to dismiss.

I wonder why I'm trusting him to not be a bad guy despite all his obvious criminal like actions.

Gosh who am I kidding, I'm not trusting him to not be a bad guy, rather I'm artificially fostering such sentiments to shield myself from confronting deeper thoughts and emotions. This is who I am, I always use situations and people as an excuse and pretend to be naive and oblivious about things just so I can avoid certain thoughts and emotions, and that's exactly what I'm doing now, using Jungkook as an excuse to sidestep the weight of personal troubles and burdensome past.

Surprisingly, I discovered a peculiar ease in shifting my  attention from the complexities of the Hoseok affair to getting caught up with Jungkook. Is he really satisfied with playing games with me briefly? Or might he be waiting to unleash chaos upon my fragile world. In the delicate balance between reality and illusion, I found solace in whatever he offered, yet I tremble at the thought of his sudden departure. If he were to disappear into thin air, leaving me with no distractions I wonder what chaos it would brew in my mind.

Acknowledging it makes me sound even more pathetic.

In actuality, I do not hold the true mantle of CEO within this organization; I serve merely as a stand in. Kihyun, a sole acquaintance from my college days, whose father hold ownership of this enterprise, implored me to assume his exclusive role. He explained that this vocation did not align with his aspirations and was a burden thrust upon him by this father, a burden he subsequently shifted onto me.

Kihyun's appearances in the company are rare, reserved only for truly exceptional circumstances when summoned by his father, and today marks as one of those rare occasions.

"Long time Yoongi, missed me?" His loud and cheerful self barged himself into my office.

"I genuinely don't have time for this today Kihyun, just what did your old man mess up this time?"
