Beneath the Facade An acquired taste

Jackson Wang

Jackson in hiding: "!!!"

Jackson Wang

Peo... Peony Flower!!! Damn! This boy is so different today, is he under a spell? How can she compare our boss to a peony?!

Boss is handsome, even speaking as an alpha guy himself. But even though he's really good looking, anyone who knows him well enough, knows how violent he is.

Jackson discreetly sneaked glances at his boss, but unfortunately couldn't make out his emotions from those dark eyes.

Jackson Wang

Is boss... angry or not?

At this moment, Jong Suk looked at the boy who stood in front of him. A boy who was filled with hatred and spoke so viciously.

He warned Taehyung with the last bit of his patience,

Lee Jong Suk

"Fine... fine! Since you won't come to your senses, next time you have regrets, don't blame me for not coming to you today! Kim Taehyung, I've done my best to help you!"

Taehyung relaxed a little when Jong Suk finally stormed off.

In his past life, he would've faced Jeon Jungkook's wrath. But this time, he altered his fate.

Hmm, he wasn't sure when Jungkook's presence had disappeared.

Kim Taehyung

Did I pass the test?

Jungkook's temperament was treacherous and unpredictable, so Taehyung didn't dare let his guard down. After easing his mood, he walked back into the house.

Once he stepped into the living room, that familiar voice penetrated into every pore of his body.

Jeon Jungkook

"Come here."

On the sofa, the man's open gaze was like a net, spread wide for him.

Taehyung stood rooted to the ground.

Even though he'd been reborn, his fear for this man was still buried deep in his bones and would never go away.

But, if he wanted to change his fate, he had to overcome this fear.

Taehyung dug his nails into his palms to maintain his composure and slowly walked towards him...

As Taehyung came closer, he was swept onto the man's lap in a swift second, followed by a sudden pain on his lips...

Taehyung didn't move. He forced himself not to resist in order to prevent infuriating him.

He couldn't help but think that the lipstick that he'd put on today was wilder than before; he looked as if he'd been poisoned. Didn't the colour hurt Jungkook's eyes? How could he kiss him so passionately?

He met Jeon Jungkook when he was 18. For two whole years, he disguised himself with many different personas, thinking that there must be one that would be revolting to him.

He wouldn't have tortured himself to look like this if he'd known better.

After that thought, Taehyung suddenly came out of his daze.

He was actually daydreaming in the arms of Jeon Jungkook?

Once he snapped out of it, he was surprised to feel Jungkook's arm draped over his neck.

Once he was out of his, he was surprised to feel a weight on his neck.

Kim Taehyung

He fell asleep...?

Kim Taehyung

How could that be!?

Taehyung didn't dare make a sound until half an hour later when Jungkook was still without movement.

Kim Taehyung

He whispered, "Jungkook...?"

He didn't react.

He was really asleep!

Not far off, the worried Jackson stood by the gate. He witnessed what had happened and was surprised too. His eyes were wide open like he'd seen something unbelievable.

Taehyung was astonished as well.

He clearly remembered that Jungkook had a serious case of insomnia. His body was also more resistant to drugs than ordinary people, so meds weren't effective on him. Each time he wanted to go to bed, he needed a professional psychologist to perform hypnotism.

Worst of all, aside from being abnormal, he had a strong psychological barrier too. So, it was extremely hard for him to be hypnotized. When he was in a bad mood, hypnotism was totally useless.

The Jeon family hired an innumerable number of well-known doctors for him, but there was no cure...
