Namjoon POV :

We are walking together downstairs. He held his hands in front of firmly and gazing at his every step. Is he really innocent as he looks? I've to be careful!

"So, you lost your job! Where do you wanna apply? " He looks at me and shakes his head, shrugging after.

"You don't know? " He nods his head.

We came downstairs and making way towards the kitchen. I saw maids cleaning the kitchen counter.

"May I have your attention!" They quickly look at me, bowing their head.

"This person, he wants to cook. " They all look up to see Jungkook and Jungkook bows to them a greeting.

"You provide all the things required and he asks from you all!" They nod their heads.

"We've alre-"

"I think everyone heard me clear!" I look at the girl, who was about to open her mouth. She quickly shuts it.

"Jungkook..." I turn to him as he looks at me and gave me a smile.

"If you have trouble here, come to me... I'll be in the living room. " He nods his head.

"Are you sure, you wanna cook for us. It's ok! You know..." He quickly nods his head.

"Fine then..." I turn my gaze and saw Jimin coming here with his secretary Riya. She wears a short skirt. But, Jimin will never pay attention to such things.

"Ji-Christian!" I have to remember this name now. Riya raised her eyebrows. She doesn't know about Jungkook.

Maids bowed towards Jimin. He nods his head. He looks back at his secretary.

Jungkook's POV:

Christian came with a lady behind him. She wore short clothes, I didn't like this. I saw Christian looking at me, my cheeks are burning.

"Jungkook... " I lick my lips and nod my head.

He turns his head to the lady and nods. She bows and comes towards me and gave me a box. It was covered with a wrapper. I'm confused about this gesture.

"Jungkook... Open the box! " Christian a said and I look at him then at the box. I kept on the kitchen counter and opened the wrapper with trembling fingers. I can feel the stare of people around me. They are as curious as me about this.

I wide my eyes to see a phone. It looks so expensive, I think it's equal to my yearly salary. I felt maids peeking behind me. I gulp and turn to see Christian smirking at me.

"Did you like it? " He asked making me halt my thoughts. Are you kidding me? I look at the boxed phone, not daring to rip the cover off.

Christian comes towards me and I was leaning against the counter as I saw him. I moved back a bit more, he stood in front of me and I felt like prey in his gaze. I gulp involuntarily and look at the right side, I saw maids looking at me with wide eyes. I turn to the front and my breath hitched seeing him so close.

I felt his hand sliding from my waist to the back, giving me goosebumps. I gulp and saw his eyes staring at my soul. His lips brushed from my lips as I stood frozen on my spot with wide eyes. He moves to stand next to me.

I was still processing the movement occurred. I turn to Christian, he was holding the phone box and tearing it with a knife having a smirk on his face. I look towards Namjoon Hyung silently laughing. I felt my cheek burning hot. I turn my gaze to the lady, who came with Christian. She was looking at me with raise eyebrows.

"Here!" Christian's voice brings me back to Earth with a shiver to my spine.

I took the phone and I press the power button on it. The screen was bright.

"You know to use it, right?" I nod my head still my eyes glued to the phone screen. Of course, I know to use it. I have used Taehyung's phone to talk with him. It really is so expensive. I have to handle it with a lot of care.

*ding*

I was going to drop the phone with this sudden noise. I saw a message popping in the notification. I opened the messaging app.

Christian

Hi! This is my number, I already saved it. If you have any trouble text me!

I look up and nod my head.

Me

I'm really thankful for this. But, it's too expensive for me to accept.

Christian

Why are you saying that? You have to accept this. Besides, you can't carry a book everywhere and expect people to understand your sign language?

Ouch, that was harsh. I didn't expect Christian to say this out of all the people. I bit my lips holding tears. I'm strong and heard this from almost everyone.

Me

Yeah... You're right! People can never understand me.

Off the phone, I turn to Christian and bow to him with gratitude. I held the phone towards him and shake my head for not accepting the phone and pity on me.

"Look... I didn't mean to hurt you. " I nod my head giving him a smile and I turn to the counter and saw everything was already cooked. What is there for me to do now?

Me

Everything is already done and there is no need for me to stay here so... I prefer going back!

I quickly text him back and saw his reaction. He wore a blank face. So, I should take my leave then.

I went forward and placed the phone on his palm and walked out of the kitchen. I took quick steps to find the way out of this huge mansion. To my luck, I found the main door and walked towards it. I gave a last look at behind me and saw nobody was bothered to look for me. I guess, they had just pity for me.

I walked out of the mansion with tears in my eyes. What was I thinking? When he touched me I felt an electric wave in me. I thought he felt it too. Our lips touching took me off guard. I didn't expect him to do it in front of everyone. It was just for a second. But, it was my first kiss. It was the first time somebody's lips touched mine. I wipe my tears harshly and didn't expect it to be night and I'm lost. I don't know about this place and the houses around look big and luxurious.

I huff and rub my palms together to warm up since the fever is coming back to me. I have to look for the way back. There is not a single soul present here, Only luxurious cars are passing by. Is this the end? Am I not going to see him again? I look up.

"Jungkook!" I heard his voice. Oh great! Now, I'm hearing things.

"Jungkook!" The car screeching halt in front of me.

Christian walks out of the car. Great, now what does he wants? I gave his phone back, I showed my gratitude for helping me out of pity. What else does he need now?

"Jungkook... Understand me! I'm like this, I don't think much about these type of things. I never thought about helping...if there is no profit for me. " I raise my eyebrows.

There is no 'please' in the sentence and he doesn't help people without getting a profit in return!

He ruffles from his pocket and gives me the phone. I don't want it!

"Jungkook..." He said in a low voice.

I took and peek at him then at the phone, quickly typing...

Me

There was no please in your sentence and you don't help people without profit. So, what do you want from me?

Although, I'm kinda scared of what he might ask me in return! If he asks money, from where should I get it then?

If he asks me to be his slave? I wide my eyes, I have read in books. If you owe someone then they might ask you to be their slave in return. Oh my God! I better punch him if he says me to be his slave and turn him to police. They'll take nice care of him.

"I love your coffee! Can you make coffee for me every day?" I blush at his words. He likes my coffee, I never thought he will like it.

"Please..." He added and I smiled at his voice. I nod my head.

Me

I'll make coffee every day and send it to you.

He smirks and pulls me closer. My breath hitched, although he can't hear me.

"Why sending? You are staying with me now!" He said and picks my in bridal style. I quickly wrap my arms around his neck having my phone in the right hand.

I look at his face, such a sharp jawline. He is really very handsome. I bet girls are crazy for him! Am I not heavy for him?

"You are light, not heavy!" I part my lips in awe, how did he know my thoughts. I didn't type it for sure.

He places me on the seat of the car. I gulp cause, all these expensive things are too much for me to digest in a day.

"I can see it in your eyes..." He said and places a quick peck on the forehead. My cheeks busted with bright red. Does he know... What does he do to me?
