THE MAFIA KING'S FIRST LOVE
Chapter³
____________________________
Jungkook's frightened gaze met Taehyung's impassive one as he looked down at him. The Mafia King lowered his head and saw him holding his hands—once again.
He looked back at Jungkook with an unreadable expression.
Jungkook could see stars in front of his eyes.
Jeon Jungkook
( Ah... goodbye my job. It was nice knowing you, even if it was for a short time. )
Jackson Wang
Boss!
{ Jackson's widened his eyes as he quickly walked up to them. He almost fainted }
His coat was creased into thin lines, and that wasn’t even the most horrifying part. The boy had boldly held onto his hands.
That was a death warrant!
Jackson Wang
{ He grimaced }
( He is dead! He is so dead! What a pity. We already lost our intern, this time even before the work began. What number would be this man's death again? )
Jeon Jungkook
{ Jungkook's heart loudly pounded in his chest }
( Calm down, calm down. Don't look as if you made any mistake. You just took his support, that's all. )
Jeon Jungkook
{ He brightly looked at him }
Godly handsome prince, thank you so much! You saved me once again. You are such a good man!
Jackson Wang
{ Jackson choked on his own saliva }
( A good man? )
Jackson Wang
{ He recalled all the things they do in the underworld }
( A good man…such a naive guy. )
Jackson Wang
{ He glared at him }
Mr. Jeon! What Godly handsome prince? Boss has a name. Address him like that.
Jeon Jungkook
{ Jungkook blinked his eyes and looked at him }
What is your name?
Jackson Wang
{ Jackson turned cold }
You don't know the name of the man under whom you are going to work?
Jeon Jungkook
{ Jungkook wondered }
( Did he introduce himself? Why don't I remember? )
Though the professor had addressed him as Mr. Kim once, Jungkook was too caught up in the panic to hear it.
Jeon Jungkook
{ He sheepishly smiled }
Hehe..hehehe...can you say it once again, please? This time, I will definitely register it in my heart!
Jackson Wang
{ He sneered }
Register it in your brain, not your heart!
Jackson Wang
( Otherwise, you meet the same fate as all those other people )- he added in his mind }
Boss is-
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
{ the Mafia King spoke }
Jackson Wang
"..."
{ He stared at him in utter shock }
It’s usually him that does all the talking and introductions, but after such a long time, his boss personally introduced himself.
Kim Taehyung
My name is Kim Taehyung.
Jackson Wang
( And he even formed a full sentence! )
Jeon Jungkook
( Kim Taehyung… )
{ Jungkook dreamily gazed at him }
Jeon Jungkook
( Even the name has such a Godly feel. And his voice is so deep and charming. )
Jeon Jungkook
( I am sorry, God. I misunderstood you. You are not unfair at all! )
{ He shook his hands again }
Kim Taehyung
{ Taehyung looked down at their intertwined hands. He saw the wide grin on his lips, and he tilted his head as if thinking about something hard }
Jackson Wang
{ Jackson straightened up }
Boss. Should I bring the axe?
Jeon Jungkook
{ Jungkook innocently asked }
Axe? Why do you need to dig here? Isn't this a concrete road?
Jackson Wang
( It's to cut off your hands, you fool! Do we look like some construction workers to you? )
Kim Taehyung
{ Taehyung stared at his beautiful dark eyes and parted his lips }
No.
Jackson Wang
Then is it a saw, Boss? Or the long dagger we have?
Jackson misunderstood his answer as a different weapon of choice instead of an axe.
Kim Taehyung
{ Taehyung looked at him }
No cutting off.
Jackson Wang
{ He nodded }
I see. So are we going to drown them in acid instead? Or burn them with fire?
Taehyung pursed his lips.
Jeon Jungkook
{ Jungkook merrily chirped }
Is Kim Industries in the construction business too? Never heard of it.
Jackson Wang
( What an idiot guy! We are talking about severing your hands here! )
Jackson Wang
{ Jackson shot a deadly glare }
Why are you nonchalantly touching the boss? And what the hell did you do with his coat?
Jeon Jungkook
{ Jungkook looked down and widened his eyes at the creases }
Oh, I am so sorry!
Jackson Wang
You ruined his perfectly ironed clothes!
Jeon Jungkook
{ He bit his lip }
I am sorry. I just wanted some support to get up.
Taehyung glanced at Li Sana's group. This whole time Li Sana was staring dumbfounded at Jungkook, who was carelessly talking to the boss, aka CEO of the Kim Industries. It felt as if his status didn't matter to him at all. And Taehyung didn’t seem to be furious at his behavior.
Kim Taehyung
{ His glance shifted to Jungkook's elbow and knees where he had scraped. His eyes ever so slightly narrowed }
You are hurt.
Jeon Jungkook
{ He glanced down }
Oh, this?
Jeon Jungkook
{ He waved his hand }
It will be fine. I have fallen a lot of times like this hehe. I am used to it now.
Jeon Jungkook
( Ahhhhh….he checked on my injuries!! He is so caring. Taehyung not only has a Godly handsome face but a Godly kind heart too.
En, en! I am loving you more and more now! )
Kim Taehyung
{ Taehyung glanced at Li Sana again. Something suddenly felt oppressive to her in the atmosphere }
Lot of times?
Li Sana
{ She stiffened and gulped }
( How can she say that she tricks him into her traps to embarrass him? )
Jeon Jungkook
Hm? Oh yeah. But it's no biggie.
{ Jungkook shrugged it off }
Kim Taehyung
{ He calmly retracted his gaze. Then he looked at Jungkook again }
Jackson will take you to the hospital.
Jackson Wang
{ He was shocked }
( Huh? Me? Weren't we talking about cutting off his hands? )
Jeon Jungkook
{ Jungkook was taken aback }
No, no they are just scratches. I have ointment in my home.
Kim Taehyung
He will.
{ Taehyung spoke with finality. Matter over. Jungkook couldn't protest }
But at the gate, there was only one car, and Taehyung had to return to the company.
Jackson Wang
{ Jackson respectfully said }
Boss, I will call for another car.
Kim Taehyung
{ Taehyung plainly said }
Hospital first.
Jeon Jungkook
{ Jungkook didn’t get the gist so he happily exclaimed }
Thank you Godly—I mean Boss!
Jackson Wang
{ He gave an icy glare }
( You should have rejected it! How dare you trouble the ultimate boss into taking you to the hospital? )
At the hospital, after Jungkook's wounds were treated, he came to the reception. His eyes popped out of his sockets reading a small piece of paper—the bill.
Jeon Jungkook
{ He tremblingly raised his head and sheepishly grinned at Jackson }
Assistant Boss. I-I don't have to pay this bill right?
Jackson Wang
{ He sneered }
You already want the company to cover your medical expenses? You're not officially enrolled into the company, so you’re on your own.
Jeon Jungkook
{ Jungkook sobbed }
D-Don't say that! Assistant Boss! Why is putting a simple bandage on my wound so-so expensive?
Jeon Jungkook
The nurse just cleaned it and taped it. Why this daylight robbery!?
Jackson Wang
{ Jackson looked at him in disdain }
Robbery? Do you even know this hospital?
Jeon Jungkook
{Jungkook looked at the sign }
It says XX Hospital.
Jackson Wang
Idiot. I’m not asking for the name. Reputation! Everything here is top-notch. Quality matters in the end, not a few bucks here and there.
Jeon Jungkook
{ He looked aghast }
Few bucks? This amount will steal my three months of expenses! This is not a few...
Jackson Wang
Three months? Just how cheap do you live?
Jeon Jungkook
"..."
( Have some mercy, please! )
Suddenly, he saw the familiar silhouette.
Jeon Jungkook
My Godly handsome-
Jackson shut him up with a deadly glare.
Jeon Jungkook
Boss... Boss!
{Jungkook cried and frantically waved his hand }
( My messiah! He will save me! )
Jackson Wang
{ Jackson quickly said }
Boss, why did you come here yourself?
Kim Taehyung
Long time.
{ he commented }
Jackson Wang
{ He scowled at Jungkook }
Boss. It's all because of him. This new intern is wasting time paying such a simple bill.
Jeon Jungkook
{Jungkook chimed in }
It's a complicated bill for me.
Jeon Jungkook
{ Jungkook cried }
Boss. C-can you not give me a little discount? Only sixty percent! I would gratefully accept eighty percent too!
Jackson wanted to clap at his shamelessness.
Kim Taehyung
{ Taehyung tilted his head and stared at him }
You are poor?
Jeon Jungkook
"..."
{ Jungkook had no idea how to retort to that. He was speechless }
Jeon Jungkook
( So I get the tag of being poor just because I cannot pay this ridiculous bill? )
Jeon Jungkook
Boss, I am not poor. It's the service here that is too expensive! Who will pay five thousand Won for getting a freaking bandaid!?
Kim Taehyung
{ He blinked his eyes }
Me. Is five thousand Won too expensive?
Jeon Jungkook
"..."
( For a small band-aid, hell yes! Clearly, we don't live in the same world. )
Jeon Jungkook
{ Jungkook was afraid to ask the next question }
Boss... exactly what amount is expensive for you? Um, like, when will you feel that something is too pricey?
Jackson Wang
{ Jackson gnashed his jaw }
Jeon Jungkook... such disrespect! You are asking that question to the CEO of Kim Industries!
Jeon Jungkook
I-I am just curious...
{ he mumbled }
Don’t have to be so mad about it...
Taehyung seemed to be in deep thought. But he couldn't respond even after a long time.
Jeon Jungkook
{ His mouth twitched }
( Is it that difficult to answer? )
Jeon Jungkook
Then how about the lowest amount you have spent?
Taehyung seemed relieved. He had an answer to that.
Kim Taehyung
The lowest was five hundred billion dollars for an island.
At that moment, Jungkook had enlightenment. He discovered the true essence of the saying—
Ignorance is truly bliss.
Jeon Jungkook
( Five-five-five h-h-h-hundred b-b-b-billion? And not Won, freaking dollars! )
Jeon Jungkook
( If my Godly handsome prince thinks five hundred billion dollars is his lowest amount, then I must refrain from asking his upper limit. )
Jeon Jungkook
( Maybe he doesn't have any upper limit, which is why he couldn’t answer earlier. )
Jeon Jungkook
( And here I am fighting for five thousand Won. Of course, he would think of me as a poor pleb. No, I am an insect in front of him. )
Jeon Jungkook
{ Jungkook sobbed }
Boss, I will come on the streets if I pay five thousand Won! A little discount please...
Kim Taehyung
{ Taehyung nodded }
Jeon Jungkook
{ Jungkook brightened }
Boss! Thank you! I knew it. You are kind-hearted!
{ He wiped his non-existent tears }
Kim Taehyung
{ Taehyung looked at Jackson }
Pay the entire bill. He is really poor.
Jeon Jungkook
"..."
{ Now the non-existent tears became existent }
( T-that last sentence was unnecessary... )
Jeon Jungkook
{ He quickly said }
N-No boss, don't pay the entire bill. I will pay too.
Jackson Wang
{ Jackson sneered }
With the way you shamelessly asked for an eighty percent discount, you are not that far from asking for a hundred percent either. Might as well we pay for all of it.
Jeon Jungkook
( Is today World Humiliation Day? )
This was the first time Jungkook was getting so many back-to-back jabs.
After the ordeal was finally over, Jungkook said-
Jeon Jungkook
Thank you so much for everything, Boss. I need to head back now.
Kim Taehyung
{ He didn't respond }
Kim Taehyung
{ He lowered his gaze }
Hm...
Jeon Jungkook
Cool. Guess I will see you next in the office now! I can't wait to join, hehe~
As he hopped and left, Taehyung kept staring at his back.
Jackson observed this and was genuinely shocked. Usually, Taehyung never spared a single glance at others, but he bothered to stay in Jungkook's presence for so long and even talk to him without killing him.
Basically, this was the first decent conversation Taehyung had had with anyone.
Kim Taehyung
Do something for me
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Jungkook whistled a happy tune as he reached his apartment complex. Once again, he met Mrs. Park.
Mrs. Park
Ah, Jungkook. You are back. How was your day today?
Jeon Jungkook
Aunt Park!
{ Jungkook held her hand and twirled with her }
Mrs. Park
Ah, ah, stop! You are making me dizzy.
Jeon Jungkook
Hahaha! Well, it's because I am really happy! My presentation went awesome and I got the job too! And not just anywhere—Kim Industries!
Jeon Jungkook
Do you know the CEO is so Godly handsome? He is so kind too. Ah, I am in love, Aunt Park...
Mrs. Park
{ Mrs. Park chuckled }
Is my ditzy Jungkook talking about love?
Jeon Jungkook
What can I say? Love feels so magical...
Mrs. Park
{ She flicked his head }
Idiot. And you just left with an orange juice, young man! Now, you’ve got to have a proper dinner at my house. No ifs and buts.
Jeon Jungkook
{ He sheepishly grinned }
Aye, aye Aunt!
Suddenly, they heard a few men coming upstairs and keeping some boxes on the floor in front of a house.
Jeon Jungkook
What is going on, Aunt?
Jeon Jungkook
{ He dreamily said }
How I wish it should be my Godly handsome prince…Ah, being his neighbor sounds so romantic...
Then he heard the sound of calm, poised footsteps as that man climbed up the stairs. Their gazes met as he stood in front of him.
Jungkook stared at him unblinkingly, and his brain refused to function. His eyes widened and his mouth opened in a big O, etched with disbelief.
Jeon Jungkook
{ He raised his trembling finger toward him }
Y-You... What are you doing here, G-G-G-Godly hand- I mean Boss?
