HOUSE OF CARDS || VKOOK

Chapter 13: You're asking for me to show you my bad side

"As much as I enjoy you watching being all cute and shit, you need to move your ass before your husband finds out you're here," Jungkook said, surprisingly in a slightly awkward tone as he sprayed some perfume over his body.

Taehyung blushed again at the statement and slowly raised his body. He looks at Jungkook through the full mirror that he's standing in front of and the other lad also looks back at him through the mirror.

"Thank you for taking care of me," Taehyung thanked the younger man, genuinely feeling grateful for what the younger has done for him yesterday.

Jungkook puts the perfume down over the dresser table and turns around. He looks at Taehyung with a blank stare, "At the rate you're living your life, if no one takes care of you, you're expiring from the earth soon." He said in a sarcastic way while still maintaining his straight face.

Taehyung let out an airy chuckle, his upper cheeks puffing out like apples as his lips form into a box shape. Jungkook felt a weird tingling sensation inside his stomach and his heart abnormally beating in his chest, almost suffocating him as he watched the older chuckle ever so attractively.

He looks even more breath-taking when he smiles.

Jungkook bites down on his lower lip hard because he can feel his lips wanting to tilt upward against his will. Scared he'll accidentally break into a smile in front of the older, he looks away immediately and lets out an annoying sound. "Move, you asshole. I need to leave for work too." He let out in annoyance and threw a towel towards Taehyung without looking at him who dodged it, now chuckling rather loudly.

"Hey, Jack. How you doing?" Jungkook gritted his assistant who was waiting for him in the hallway with some files in his hands.

"What doing? It wasn't really convenient for you to leave me yesterday here in such a complicated situation like this, Mr. Jeon. Do you know how hard it was for me to handle everything for you and to delay the date of the case?" Jack, also known as Jackson Wang and Jungkook's assistant, whined out his grievances as a heavy frown masked his feature.

"Wow, so I still have the case?" Jungkook let out in shock. But the shock was more like sarcasm than relief. Like he didn't care if he actually loses the case from his hand. "You did a good job, Jackie. I should raise your salary." Jungkook said with a charming smile as he takes the files from Jackson while still walking.

Jackson widened his eyes after hearing what the attorney said, "Really?! Uhm, thanks, Mr. Jeon." He thanked the blonde head while slightly bowing though Jungkook can't see him because he is following the blonde head from behind.

"Of course, You deserve it. Now tell me, after my disappearance, did Mr. Kim Jimin try to look for me?" Jungkook asked while reading something from the file. Thick brows furrowed and focused on the white sheet.

"Uh, I really didn't stumble into him after you were gone. But I heard from his assistant that right after his meeting, he rushed out to look for his husband and didn't come back since." Jackson informed the attorney who raised an eyebrow at hearing the information.

Jungkook halted on his spot and raised his head from the file. "My my, since when did he start to show care for his husband?" Jungkook mumbled to himself, eyes thickly knitted together as he think of some possibility. He turns his head to his right and looks at Jackson who was staring back at him weirdly.

"You're like a real gossip queen. Good for me. Keep collecting gossip like this and update me." Jungkook said to his assistant who cleared his throat and rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment.

"I-it's not like that. I was just—"

"When's the next date of the case that I left?" Jungkook asked, cutting his assistant off through his mid-sentence.
