Chapter 48

Duho trailed a step behind Jungkook as they both made their way closer to Jimin, who was already looking at them with a knowing grin plastered across his face.

" Well, well, well...if it isn't the busy Mr Park" Jungkook drawled, his voice dripping with intrigue "Long time no see. What delightful wind brought you over on such a day? "

" I would not disturb my busy schedule for something unimportant, obviously. Could we have a moment to talk ?"Chuckling softly, P3 deliberately allowed his smile to fade, redirecting his piercing gaze to Duho in an attempt to lead his worrisome thoughts to where he needed them to be.

" Of course. Please follow me to my changing room." Jungkook feigned mild curiosity, his acting skills polished to perfection and then he led the way, leaving Jimin to halt his step briefly in order to deliver an intense and long stare to Mr Duho before following Jungkook.

His gaze pierced through Duho's soul, igniting a surge of anxiety within him. The clarity in those eyes sent shivers down his spine and ignited a worrisome thought over what he could possibly spill to Jungkook about him. Certainly, P3 didn't look like he was going to leave him out of their talk. That being something that was not to his benefit so he quickly rushed after them, only to halt a step away by the door of the changing room in which they had both just entered.

" Who the heck is it now? "Duho muttered, his breath heavy with frustration, as he scrambled to end the call that had interrupted him, only to realise that it was Boram, the one trying to reach him and she being who she was, made him unable to turn down her call.

As an exasperated exhale escaped his lips, inwardly complaining about her bad timing, he answered the call as politely as possible. " Ms Boram, how may I assist you?

Mr Duho uttered the usual line he took her calls with, for she always calls him to order him around for some kind of task. But instead of her usual cheerful voice, Boram uttered his name over the line with a trembling voice, laced with tears.

" Mr DuHo ... I need your help immediately." She whimpered, and he couldn't help but look around him, caught off guard.

" What's wrong, miss? "

" I tried to do something behind my parents' back ... but some misunderstanding happened, and the owner of the store thinks I was trying to steal something... He keeps saying he will call the police and the media... Dad will be so mad. Please come help me. " She cried desperately on the line while Duho's mind had grown alert over the world media for certainly the Ceo would go off on him if he wasn't to solve this before be coming to big of a deal. To not mention that now that Jungkook was dating her, he could get stigmatised by her scandals.

" Just stay there, Miss, text me the address and tell them to stay put. I'm coming right over." He reassured her, then hung up the call, only to pause and take in the urgency of the situation he was in.

Knowing that losing this job could cost him his cover, which he had built for such a long time, he knew he couldn't just ignore Boram's serious entanglement but simultaneously Jimin's presence and his request to speak with Jungkook also was a threat before his eyes which he could not leave uncontrolled.

Under the pressure of the moment and the urgency of the matter, Duho opened his phone and texted a number that he had saved as ' Copy '.

" You seriously are surprising me. I wasn't expecting you to pull such a performance. " You whispered at Boram's side as she was brought to the office of the general manager of a jewellery shop. A place you had carefully sneaked into just a bit later, once they had exited the room and you had become aware that she was alone in there.
