"hello, hello. good morning, brothers!"
both jaewon and hoseok's eyebrows furrowed, obviously confused as to why seokjin looks so happy early in the morning.
they know how much their brother hates having to wake up early just to share breakfast with them.
"what makes you all giggly?" jaewon asked.
seokjin took a seat infront of his brothers and just hummed in response, shrugging his shoulders.
"so, jaewon and i talked about it already," hoseok stared at his brother, "we're approving of your long vacation to paris." he said.
seokjin let out a tight-lipped smile slightly shaking his head as he starts to munched the french toast.
why would he go to paris? he just made a major progress last night with jungkook and there is no way he's going to put all of that into waste.
jungkook just left a hickey on his neck and kissed his forehead even his cheeks for a lot of times. that must be something, right?
"im not going, im fine here." he happily said.
hoseok scrunched up his nose, he's definitely not used to this seokjin.
is he damn posessed by?
jaewon gave the younger a weird look as he took a sip of his freshly brewed coffee.
"i like someone." he blurted out.
his older brothers starts to cough nonstop, jaewon even clutching onto his chest as if the food blocked his throat.
that is totally unexpected! is that even true? how can their brother, jung seokjin, like someone other than himself?
he must be so handsome and very sucessful. is it one of the young investors that they have?
"who is it? taehyung? jaehyun? sungyeon?" jaewon asked, totally curious.
"no," seokjin smiled, "he's better than those men mentioned." he said.
"who is it, then?"
"jeon jungkook..."
hoseok slightly tilts his head as if trying to remember where did he heard that name, it sounds very familiar.
"oh! i know him," jaewon snapped his fingers, "he's the last one you fired, right?" he raised his brows waiting for confirmation.
"yes, that one." seokjin proudly said.
jaewon let out a small smile, "does he like you?" he curiously asked.
seokjin stopped, he protruded his lips, even he doesnt know the answer to that.
jaewon suddenly bursted out laughing, "he probably dont!" he exclaimed.
seokjin's eyes widened in surprised, "yah, hyung!" he screamed, too irritated.
hoseok bit his lower lips trying so hard not to laugh at how seokjin suddenly looks offended by jaewon's words, that's a first.
"i mean yes, baby," jaewon wiped the tears in his eyes from laughing, "you're pretty, rich and what's next?" he teasingly asked.
seokjin shut his eyes closed letting out a deep breathe before focusing his gaze to their eldest, "hyungie! stop him." he screamed pointing at jaewon.
hoseok nudged jaewon's elbow to stop him from laughing because of how seokjin just keeps on glaring at his direction.
"hey, stop." hoseok whispered.
seokjin rolled his eyes at his brothers before finally leaving the dining table.
he hissed as a housemaid suddenly bumped into him, she backed away and respectfully bowed at seokjin.
"i am so sorry, mr. seokjin. please forgive me." she apologetically said.
seokjin met her eyes, he's staring at coldly before he slowly raised his brows.
"you're fired," he said, "all you have to do is walk and you bumped into me?" he said in disbelief.
the housemaid gasped and was about to hold seokjin's hands to ask for a second chance but he immediately glared at her making the housemaid stopped.
seokjin made his way upstairs going straight to his room to change his clothes, he'll probably go visit jungkook today.
he's just inside his walk-in closet trying so hard to pick an appropriate clothes to wear.
upon observing, he noticed that jungkook doesnt really like revealing clothes and is not fond of tops that is too fancy and shouting its brand.
it's getting so hard to pick clothes to wear these days, should he just hire his own stylist?
he definitely needs a stylist, he's always invited in fashion week and a lot of brand openings along with its parties but he never once thought of getting one.
though, he has an assistant who is organizing his schedule making sure that he doesnt need to do that much in every event.
so far, he keeps on rejecting invites as he is too busy visiting jungkook and trying so hard to impress the man.
when he's already done, he made his way downstairs, got inside his car and telling mr. han to drive him to their botique where jungkook works at.
minutes later, he already arrived so he opened the door making all the employees bowed at him including jungkook.
"should i close the botique for you, sir?" the manager asked.
seokjin glanced at his love interest and saw him already looking at his direction.
"no, it's fine." he said, dismissing the woman already.
jungkook bowed at the girl who just entered the botique.
seokjin immediately walked towards jungkook, just standing beside him.
"seokjin, im working." jungkook said in almost a whisper.
the younger just shrugged his shoulders, "so? we owned this." he said.
jungkook rolled his eyes before moving away from the younger who just followed him.
"can i have a smaller size of this, please?" the girl politely asked jungkook.
the man immediately took it from the girl but his eyes widened as seokjin snatched it away from his hold.
he handed the shirt to the girl once again, "go ask another staff, not him." he said, rolling his eyes.
the girl looks offended but didnt say anything and just turned her back against him, murmuring something under her breathe.
jungkook rolled his eyes, he looked around and when he saw that everyone's busy, he dragged seokjin out of the botique.
"you should stop doing that!" jungkook said, his voice higher than usual.
"what did i do again?"
"seokjin! you just keeps on bitching at them, they're customers!" he said trying to get it on seokjin's head.
seokjin looks unbothered and just crossed his arms.
"i dont care!" he exclaimed.
jungkook licked his lower lips, "well! i care. it's my job to assist them!" he said.
seokjin glared at jungkook, his lips tugged downwards but immediately regained his stoic expression.
"you like her." he said, in a very accusing tone.
"what? no, seokjin, no," jungkook looked up, too frustrated, "it's just not right to do that." he explained.
"you should also stop talking to me while im working. we can talk once im done, no need to come here so early..."
seokjin couldnt believe what he's hearing from jungkook.
really, this? after what just happened last night.
jungkook saw how dissapointed the younger looks so he walked towards him putting his hands on seokjin's both shoulders.
"it's because you have a connection in where i work," jungkook tried to meet the younger's gaze, "i dont want people to think that i am using you or you are getting used by me." he sighed.
seokjin just stared at jungkook. in the end, he just let out a deep sigh and slowly nods his head.
jungkook slowly let out his bunny smile before ruffling the younger's hair.
"now, go home, okay? i'll text you when im done." jungkook said in a reassuring voice.
"promise?"
"promise..."
