Jungkook couldn't stay away. That boy. The one with the milky skin and scared eyes. He felt it deep. First time ever. So he came back to the club. Just to see him. Sat in the same VIP spot. Heart thumping a bit. Weird for him.

Taehyung was working hard. Tray shaking in his hands. Blonde hair messy from the rush. He saw Jungkook. Froze. Legs wobbled bad. Manager pushed him. "Go serve the big boss! Now!"

Taehyung nodded fast. Heart racing. Walked over slow. Eyes down. So nervous. Trip. Glass slips. Whiskey spills all over Jungkook's shirt. Soaks his chest.

Taehyung gasps. Hands fly to mouth. "Oh no..."

Manager explodes. Rushes over yelling. "ARE YOU MAD!! YOU'RE FIRED!!!"

Taehyung flinches hard. Body shakes. Tears well up. He thinks... Jungkook will kill him. For sure. Hiccup starts. "S-sorry... s-sorry sir!!"

He bows deep to Jungkook. Pouty lips wobbling. Big doe eyes wet. "P-please... f-forgive... m-me..."

Jungkook's eyes darken. Not at Taehyung. At the manager. He stands. Towering. Grabs manager by collar. Yanks him close. "How dare you yell at him!!"

Guards move fast. Grab manager. Drag him away screaming.

Taehyung watches. Trembling. Thinks it's his turn. More scared. Hiccup louder. Pouty lips quiver. "P-please... i-i am s-so... s-sorry... p-please!! Don't... h-hurt..."

Jungkook turns slow. Looks at him. Soft now. Eyes trace that baby face. Wet cheeks. Blonde strands stuck to skin. Those curves under the uniform. Heart pulls. "It's fine."

Taehyung blinks. Sniffles. Doesn't get it.

"No need to work here." Jungkook steps closer. Voice low, gentle. "Come with me."

Taehyung stares. Scared gaze. But... something warm in those dark eyes. He nods tiny. Follows. Legs still shaky.

Outside. Black car waits. Jungkook opens door. Taehyung slides in. Hiccuping quiet. Sits small. Eyes down. Cries soft. No job. No home. Broken.

Jungkook sits next. Door shuts. Driver starts. Heads to the mansion.

Whole ride... Jungkook stares. Can't stop. Taehyung's face. Side profile. Pouty lips shiny from tears. Doe eyes red. Blonde hair soft. Milky skin glowing in street lights. So fragile. So pretty. Butterflies hit Jungkook hard. First time.

Taehyung feels the stare. Looks down more. Hiccup. Sniffle. Scared. But... safe? Weird.

Car pulls up. Big mansion gates open.
