THE LITTLE BRAT'S SWEET AND SASSY
15
Night self-learning class was over, and with the students coming out from their classrooms, the corridors were buzzing with noise.
Taehyung standing there was already a scene in itself, and his blue blood presence with a hint of laid-back attitude made him stand out from the lively crowd.
It was as if he had walked out from a painting. The strokes of his contour were clean, yet every detail on him was rich and pronounced.
Many students saw him and could not take their eyes away.
Some boys and girls even stopped and got together, whispering to each other shyly.
Boy
“Who’s that? He’s so handsome. Is he a new teacher in our school?”
Girl
“He’s too young! And a new teacher at this hour? He’s probably here to pick someone up, but if he’s really a new teacher, then it would be awesome!”
girl
“I thought outsiders are not allowed in our school without valid reasons.”
Boy
“Who cares! You should be grateful that such a handsome young man has graced your eyes! Maybe God knows that we’re studying hard and decided to reward us for one! I’d be willing to do another hundred mock-up tests!”
Taehyung had always been handsome and when he lifted his head slightly, his lower jaw looked even shaper and prominent.
The streetlamp’s warm light shed a layer of warm light on his face, granting a hint of softness to his cold and sharp looks.
Jungkook stared at him as the uniquely deep and pleasant voice that carried a tinge of laziness entered his ears.
Then, a thought appeared in his head
Jungkook
💭 ‘He knows about what happened on the internet? And he’s here at this hour…
Jungkook
(thought of the surveillance footage that was released online, and her heart beat faster.)
“I’m coming down.”
Jungkook
(With that, he hung up the phone as she turned around to Sunghoon for the water bottle.)
“Thank you.”
Jungkook headed down and walked to Taehyung. he instantly felt an overwhelming amount of eyes on her.
He sighed as he looked at the young man some distance away.
Taehyung really stood out.
Jungkook had gotten used to it but it was a little too much for him to handle today.
Jungkook
“What brings you here?”
Jungkook stood in front of him. he was only as tall as his chest, so she had to lift his head slightly to talk to him.
Taehyung then noticed his phone and frowned.
Kim Taehyung
“Give me your phone.”
Jungkook was somewhat confused.
However, Taehyung was already reaching out for his phone.
He paused for a second but handed his phone to him eventually.
The phone was not locked, so Taehyung was able to access it directly.
He had more than 99 missed calls, all from unlisted numbers. Unread messages filled the mailbox, and all of them were extremely unpleasant.
He squinted his eyes to cover the harsh coldness from inside.
He thought he had dealt with the matter as quickly as possible, but the damage done could not be erased that easily.
His long and slender fingers tapped on the phone for a while before he took a new sim card out from his pocket and inserted it into the phone. Only then did he give it back to Jungkook.
Kim Taehyung
“Since your number’s been exposed, it’s better for you to change to a new one.”
Jungkook was planning to do so too, but he did not expect Taehyung to be a step ahead of him.
He took his phone back, and it seemed that his phone had caught Taehyung's unique cedar fragrance.
Jungkook
“The surveillance footage… is that you?”
(It was a question, but Jungkook sounded firm.)
Kim Taehyung
(He looked away.)
“Busan Second High is Jhope’s alma mater.”
He meant that Jhope was the one who solved the matter.
He did not answer Jungkook’s question directly and instead shifted all the credits to Jhope. However, Jungkook knew that he must be involved.
It had been many years since Jhope graduated; why would he pay attention to such a trivial matter?
On top of that, other than Taehyung, he could not think of anyone who would want to get the surveillance footage.
Jungkook gripped onto his phone tightly. Suddenly, he felt that the whole situation was a little troublesome.
He was already in Taehyung's debt, and now with this matter, he owed him even more
Min Yoongi
"Hey, Jungkook?”
Yoongi voice came from behind.
Jungkook turned around.
Taehyung also shifted his attention behind him.
The two of them seemed to have created a barrier around them with their unique aura. The other students stopped and watched, but none of them dared to get close to them.
Yoongi came out late, but he originally planned to send Jungkook out of the school with Sunghoon.
Even though things had taken a U-turn on the internet, no one could guarantee that Jungkook was safe. There might still be people out there who wanted to cause trouble.
As fellow classmates, they believed they should offer a helping hand.
However, he came out to see Jungkook talking to a young man alone.
Yoongi had been looking at Sunghoon handsome face for almost every day now, so his sense of beauty was boosted to a new high. He barely took anyone seriously.
However, when he saw Taehyung, he was shocked by the man’s looks.
He greeted Jungkook, but when his gaze landed on Taehyung, he hesitated.
If he remembered correctly, Jungkook had no friends in Gyeonggi-do. Moreover, the man emanated a unique aura. With the blue blood presence, they all pointed to the fact that he was not just anyone.
He thought Jungkook had just arrived in Busan a while ago, yet how did he come across someone like him?
Jungkook felt a little embarrassed.
After all, he technically had nothing to do with Taehyung.
There was nothing to hide about Taehyung’s identity.
Though if he was the one who explained it, it would sound strange.
Jungkook
“This is Taehyung…”
Kim Taehyung
“Taehyung.”
(He introduced himself before Jungkook could finish.)
Kim Taehyung
(He stepped up and walked past Jungkook.)
“You guys are Kookie classmates?”
Yoongi felt an invisible sense of imposing pressure from the man as he got closer.
It felt different from youngsters who tried to act mature or experienced. For him, it was not made up as it felt natural. It made one revere and admire his unique presence.
Even though the man looked young, at most in his early twenties, the aura on him was unlike anything else.
Compared to Yoongi, Sunghoon reacted fairly calmly. He nodded with a plain look on his face.
Cho sunghoon
“Yes, we are.”
Kim Taehyung
(He smiled.)
“I’m Kookie brother. he’s still new here, so please take care of him.”
Jungkook
(He looked at him and his eyes twitched.)
‘Brother?’
Slightly surprised, the two opposite him looked at Taehyung and then back at Jungkook.
Jungkook’s surname was Jang, and Taehyung’s surname was Kim, so how could they be siblings?
Besides, if he was Jungkook’s cousin, Jungkook would not have had to go through the mill before this.
However, Jungkook did not say anything as if he had acknowledged it tacitly. With that, Yoongi and Sunghoon did not press on the question.
Min Yoongi
(He cleared his throat and chuckled.)
“Oh, it’s Jungkook’s brother. Ah, it’s nothing; we didn’t really do anything. Jungkook was the one who helped us.”
Taehyung lowered his head to look at Jungkook, who was behind him, with a curious gaze.
It had only been two days since his transfer, and his classmates were already defending him?
It seemed like the boy was quite… well received.
Jungkook
(He felt Taehyung’s strange gaze on him. )
💭‘What’s with that look?’
Kim Taehyung
(He quickly moved his attention away
“It’s getting late. We should send Jungkook home.”
Yoongi nodded wisely and parted ways with Jungkook
Kim Taehyung
(He turned around and took Jungkook’s bag off his shoulders.)
“Let’s go, Kookie.”
Jhope waited outside the school in his car.
When Jungkook saw it, he understood everything.
He was two steps behind Taehyung.
Jungkook
“Second Master Kim, you really don’t have to…”
Kim Taehyung
“Call me brother.”
Taehyung corrected him with his lazy tone without even turning around.
Jungkook realized the rumors about him were real. He had the temper of a young master and was a difficult person to be with.
He paused for a bit, but he eventually went with it.
Jungkook
“Second Brother.”
The boy’s voice was soft, but when it was heard, it felt light and encouraging.
Taehyung stopped in his steps.
Not noticing that moment, Jungkook accidentally bumped into his
Soreness immediately shot up Jungkook's nose. Jungkook muffled a grunt as he covered his nose and took a step back. A layer of tears had welled up in his eyes.
Jungkook
💭‘What’s wrong with this guy? Why did he stop all of a sudden! He could have given me a heads up!’
Taehyung turned around and saw his seductive eyes.
His crystal clear eyes had a layer of gloss on them and coupled with a hint of pink at the edge, it gave him an alluring look.
He raised a brow at him.
Kim Taehyung
“You should keep an eye out even if you are walking behind me.”
The man’s ability to turn facts upside down was unrivaled.
Jungkook
“How would I know you’d stop all of a sudden? It’s not my fault!”
Taehyung looked at him. His skin was as fair as porcelain, his features were clearly pronounced and unrivaled, and at the moment, he had a rare angry look on his face.
Kim Taehyung
(He chuckled.)
“Okay, it’s my fault.”
His tone was as lazy and casual as ever but it had an extra connive to it.
A car honk sounded.
Jhope was speechless as he watched the two from his car.
After dealing with Jungkook’s matter, Jhope received a call from his secretary and he suddenly had to go back to his office to settle something.
Before he left, he told Taehyung to wait for him and he would come back after the night self-learning class was over to pick them up.
They were only a few steps away from the car, could they not have got into the car and continued the chat?
Taehyung walked to Jhope’s car.
Jungkook rubbed his nose and followed.
Taehyung opened the rear door and waited for Jungkook to get in before he got in himself.
Jhope
“Little Jungkook, I’ve called your driver and told him that I’ll be sending you home today.”
He heard someone was coming for him after school, so he decided to send him home himself for his safety sake.
Jungkook hugged his bag and nodded.
Jhope
(He was slightly stunned when he looked into the rear mirror.)
“Huh? Little Jungkook, why are you crying?”
As far as he knew, the boy had always been a strong and independent person.
Was it because of the incident on the internet?
Truth be told, it was not surprising for a 17-year-old to feel bad after what happened.
Jhope
“Little Jungkook… You don’t need to care about those comments. They are just using this chance to justify their actions. Those who truly care about you will know your kindness.”
Jungkook’s heart skipped a beat.
Jhope might look like an indecorous person but he actually had a great view of things.
He was right.
If he was carried away by the comments of others and tried to flatter the whole world, he would gradually lose himself and ultimately fall into the pit of suffering.
He did not understand that in his past life, where he hoped to make everyone happy. Even if he had to suffer and endure the torture, he still did not take it easy on himself.
This time, this life, he would never give others the chance to hurt him again.
Jungkook
“Thank you, Master Jung, but I’m not actually crying.”
(He cleared the air.)
Jhope
“Not crying? Then why are your…”
Kim Taehyung
“It’s my fault.”
Leaning on the seat, Taehyung said softly with a ridiculing gaze.
Jhope’s eyes turned fearful.
Since when did Taehyung, this master, add the words ‘my fault’ in his dictionary?
Jhope glanced over the rear mirror again and saw the two of them sitting apart from each other.
Jungkook’s eyes and nose were red on his porcelain-like face that exuded a hint of stubbornness.
Taehyung was as lazy as ever. He simply rubbed his brows, looking slightly helpless and connive.
Jhope’s face twitched.
‘Great.’
Not only did Taehyung admit his mistake, but he was even appeasing him.
He wanted to call Dr. Choi right away and ask him what kind of syndromes Taehyung was having.
Jungkook was not angry at all, not at something this trivial.
The incident happened in the afternoon and the surveillance footage was released in the evening. Everything that followed after was dealt with swiftly and cleanly.
It was not difficult for Jungkook to imagine how much Taehyung and Jhope did to settle everything this quickly.
Jungkook
“Sorry for troubling you guys for what happened today.”
Jhope
(He smiled and reminded him about the matter.)
“It’s nothing. But Little Jungkook, try to stay low. Otherwise, you might not even know what happened when you are stabbed in the back.”
Jungkook
(He reacted fairly calmly. )
“You’re referring to Lee So-hee?”
Taehyung looked at him.
It seemed like he had known since the beginning.
Jhope
(He skipped to the point as well since he already knew.)
“It’s good that you understand. If you need any evidence, I can get them.”
Jungkook actually had the evidence himself.
From the moment he moved into the Lee Family, he had been waiting for Lee So-hee to make a move.
Even though So-hee went through several people to hide from the incident, as long as she was involved, there would be traces of her.
Jungkook
(He shook his head.)
“Thank you, Master Jung, but I don’t think I need them for now.”
Jhope
(He felt surprised. Lee So-hee had almost ruined his reputation and he planned to let it go just like that?)
“Little Jungkook, let me tell you something. Sometimes, you shouldn’t be too soft with—”
Lee So-hee was a few months younger than Jungkook, yet she had the heart to resolve things with such despicable means. Who knew what she would do when she got older?
Jungkook suddenly smiled.
His rich and succulent lips curled into a grin and his eyes were glistening.
Jungkook
“Yeah, I understand.”
Taehyung crossed his legs and propped one of his hands on the seat and the other on his knee.
His slender and fair fingers tapped his knee as he smiled.
The boy was quite capable himself.
…
After sending Jungkook home, Taehyung and Jhope left without going in.
Taehyung answered a phone call on the way back.
Other side
“Second master, the painting that you asked for earlier, they are selling it but the price is raised to a million.”
Kim Taehyung
(He nodded with a grunt).
“Send it to Yunding Fenghua later.”
Jhope
(He looked at him after he hung up the phone and ridiculed
“This is the fourth one now. Second Master Kim, you’ve spent almo)st eight million on this person’s painting so far. If you really like it, why don’t you send someone to deliver a message and you can get it directly?”
Kim Taehyung
(He barely reacted to the question.)
“If the painter doesn’t want to show, there’s no point for me to force a meeting.”
Jhope shrugged. He had a feeling that the painter had some issues.
Half a year ago, Taehyung saw a painting in an exhibition and he asked for a meeting with the owner but was rejected.
After that, Taehyung simply let it slip but he did not stop searching for that person’s painting.
Although talented painters were everywhere, only a handful was truly known.
If it were someone else, they would rush to meet him the moment they got Taehyung’s approval.
Unfortunately, this particular person did not want to reveal any detail about himself. Not even the curator had seen the painter before because the painting was sent through the mail.
Kim Taehyung
(He said)
“Oh, and the accounts that spread the rumors, list them out and sue all of them.”
Jhope
(He was shocked. )
“All of them?”
Taehyung thought of the insults and criticism that he saw on Jungkook's phone and his eyes turned cold.
Kim Taehyung
“All of them.”
Jhope
“But I thought Little Jungkook decided to let it go…”
Kim Taehyung
(He shut his eyes.)
“But I didn’t say I would let them go.”
