Cannon Fodder's Time Has Come 13

Jeon Jungkook

(pausing with his finger hovering over the end call button, raising an eyebrow) What is it, Hyung?

Kim Taehyung

(sincerely, voice low but firm) I’m not monitoring you, and I’m not doubting you. I’m trying to protect you. Do you have any idea how much trouble I’ve blocked for you already?

Jeon Jungkook

(leans back, smirking slightly, but his eyes narrow) Protect me, huh? Like what?

Kim Taehyung

Two days ago, your bodyguard stopped a mugger who was planning to rob you. He had a gun? Already loaded. Do you understand what that means, Jungkook?

Jeon Jungkook

(sneering, voice sharp) Someone wants my life. Who?

Kim Taehyung

(lighting a cigarette, the rising smoke masking the coldness in his eyes) Don’t you already know?

Jungkook’s company was growing bigger and bigger, he’d inevitably offend some people, but the one that wanted his life for personal reasons was only Hyunwoo. He pondered for a moment, his eyes squinted.

Kim Taehyung

(exhales a cloud of smoke, his voice soft but insistent) Go back home. Return to C country. Zhou Wenang won’t dare act so openly there. Your grandparents, your uncle—they’ll keep you safe. It’s better than staying alone abroad, where you’re a target.

Kim Taehyung

(voice steady) After a few years, no one will stand a chance against you. When you take over your family’s business, you’ll have no opponent worth the fight.

Jeon Jungkook

(leaning back slightly, his expression unreadable) So even Minho isn’t qualified?

Kim Taehyung

(nodding firmly, his voice steady) No, Minho isn’t qualified.

Taehyung’s tone carries a rare certainty, his gaze lingering on Jungkook through the screen. It feels heavier than just a statement about business. There’s a deeper weight behind his words—something personal, something protective.

Taehyung was feeling emotional, perhaps out of sympathy, although the original Kim Taehyung did not care what happened Jeon Group, he had changed his mind. He could help Minho open his own business, but Jeon Group had to go to Jungkook.

Jeon Jungkook

(raising an eyebrow, a flicker of surprise in his usually composed demeanor) And what about him? What’s Minho’s place in all this?

Kim Taehyung

(shrugs slightly) He can carve his own path.

Kim Taehyung

I’d even help him build his own business if he wants. But the Jeon Group? That belongs to you.

Jungkook studies him for a long moment, trying to decipher the mix of emotions behind Taehyung’s words. The sincerity is there, but so is something deeper—something protective, almost possessive.

Jeon Jungkook

(his voice calm, but laced with curiosity) Why does it even matter to you? You never cared about the Jeon Group before.

Kim Taehyung

(pauses, exhaling a slow breath) It’s not just about the group. It’s about you.

Moreover, Taehyung felt the relationship between the two Jeon brothers was very strange. Jeon was just an ordinary business group, not a Mafia family, competing for family property did not have to end in bloodshed. If Hyunwoo won, he could just kick the brothers out of the house, why go through all that bloodthirsty trouble? It made sense that he’d hate Minho, but he unreasonably started a toxic war with his own brother, Jungkook.

Taehyung investigated the two brothers, from small to large Jungkook was always caring and considerate to Hyunwoo, there were no traces of evil. He would like to know why Hyunwoo hated Jungkook to such an extent.

Kim Taehyung

(leaning forward slightly, his voice low, probing) Why, Jungkook? Why does Hyunwoo hate you so much?

Why? Because Hyunwoo’s name was a deception, and if someday Jungkook found out the truth he would lose everything he had. Even if Jungkook could not bear to attack him, Yang Hyejin’s parents would make him die a miserable death. Although Yang Group was smaller in scale than Jeon, their background was extremely complex and their industry stretched into the gray area of morality.

Yang Hyejin’s parents, brothers and sisters were ruthless and justifying. They now doted on Hyunwoo, but if the truth was revealed they’d immediately hate him to death. Jungkook was a knife hanging above Hyunwoo, a thorn tied to his heart, only when he removed Jungkook could he really breathe a sigh of relief. And Jeon father probably felt the same, or he would not instigate his eldest son to alienate Yang family.

Jungkook thought a lot, but he did not intend to tell Taehyung.

Jeon Jungkook

(While undressing, laughed merrily and said) You’ve already done too much, I’ll solve my own problems. I don’t care what happens to Jeon Group, if they want it they can have it. One day my Noah will crush them under its boots.

Carelessly tossing away his top, flipping his hair, he went straight into the bathroom for a bath, even forgetting to turn off the camera.

The young boy had grown into a handsome young man. Because he traps himself in his room and hardly sees the sun, his skin was almost transparent white, but his abdomen had compact muscle and beautiful lines, showing that he had regular exercise. He stood up to remove his belt, revealing a flexible and powerful waist, his hips were round, so the trousers did not fall down, but hung loosely on his waist.

That lazy and casual look was very sexy.

Kim Taehyung

*Staring at Jungkook, when Jungkook man moved out of the camera frame he even stuck out his neck, trying to follow his figure.*

Jungkook quickly took a bath, and came out with a towel hanging on his waist, his straight and slender legs once again attracted Taehyung’s attention.

Jungkook did not seem to notice the strange expression of the man sitting stiffly, just said good night and turned off the video.

The beautiful picture disappeared.

Kim Taehyung

(slowly let out a breath that he did not know he was holding, and leaned his forehead on his hand. He seemed to be being tempted, but the tragedy was that the other side probably wasn’t conscious of it.)

Other side.

Jungkook wasn’t conscious of it?

Jeon Jungkook

(After turning off the camera, his lips lifted in a short laugh. )

Jungkook was a gay man with very high standards. Taehyung was a looker, tall and powerful, the best high quality goods. Jungkook had not point to complain about.

Jeon Jungkook

(As for how to deal with the aftermath, he had not considered it yet. He had enough of being the system’s puppet, he now just wanted to live according to his own will.)
