Flash Marriage || BOOK 2

241.Don't you dare to hug me

He understood what was his brother trying to say. Lee Corporations has been his responsibility, to begin with, the responsibility that he tried so hard to evade. His mother wanted him to take over as the CEO of the company but he tried his best to dodge it.

Although his mother grumbled about it, but she never forced him to do anything that he did not want. Later, he gave the interview and joined Ash Corporations, disguising his identity as Second Young Master of Jeon Family. Due to his excellence, he was promoted to the position of Vice President.

The experience that he wanted to gain has long been achieved, he could have gone back to Lee Corporations to take over the position of the CEO. But he kept avoiding it with excuses like he was not ready and all.

Jin somehow felt he was a coward. He feared that he could not manage that position well. The thought of handling a multinational company indeed scared him.

He would have to be responsible for every decision he took.

He has to be responsible for the employees working under him.

The thought of it left him exhausted. What if he could not manage it?

He was not as courageous as his siblings who could make their way through every problem as if nothing could stop them.

He has been used to put a tough front but he was not that strong. One failure was enough to hold him back forever.

Jin bit his lower lips. Has he gone too far in pushing away his responsibilities?

If he had known about the situation in the company, if he had bothered to check the progress of the projects, then maybe.. just maybe his mother wouldn't be here?

The thought of it made him stagger a few steps back.

Lisa could not bear to see him like that, self blame was written all over his face. She wrapped her arms around his enveloping him in a warm hug, "It's fine puffy, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault..." She murmured in his ears again and again trying to calm him down.

And it seemed to have worked on the man as he inhaled a deep breath, "I'm fine," he softly muttered as he hugged her back tightly.

Secretary Lim who was touched by the sentimental scene, suddenly shivered. Eh...This hallway is too cold, who switched on the air conditioner this season?

He glanced around but what greeted his sight was not some air conditioner but it was a certain iceberg whose face was as dark as the bottom of the pit.

Secretary Lim gulped. Since President had not ordered him to leave, he stayed back just in case he was needed for something. But why did it feel like he would get pneumonia soon?

Will someone tell him why was his boss so cold?

Jungkook walked towards the two people who seemed to not notice his presence. He snaked an arm around Lisa before pulling her towards himself, breaking their hug.

Lisa glanced at him with squinted eyes. This petty man...

As if he noticed his wife chastising himself in her heart, Jungkook calmly looked at her, "You are so thin, you cannot handle his weight. I can lend him my shoulders to lean on," The man said ever so graciously, he even patted his shoulder slightly indicating that Jin could hug him.

Lisa was speechless whereas Jin was horrified. He did not need a shoulder to lean o at all. He was fine, very fine.

"Just admit it that you are jealous of your own brother," Lisa scoffed before walking forward and taking a seat.

"Jealous? What are you talking about?" Jungkook innocently asked before looking back at Jin seriously, "I just want to comfort my brother. I can't bear to see him sad. Here, you can hug me."

The seriousness in his tone convinced Lisa. She was wrong in the first place for misunderstanding his intentions. Her Jungkook was the kindest person ever, how could he see his brother sad?

Jin on the other hand was touched at this point. He felt as if he should not have been afraid of him. Usually, he would not express his love for them but now he was even lending his shoulders for him to cry on yet he was being ungrateful here. He felt guilty for it.

Just as he was about to raise his hand to hug his elder brother, he heard the man speak, "Come on, you can hug me."

Jin raised his head to look at him and what he saw a complete contrast to his sweet words. The man had a cold expression on his face, despite the soft tone he used to talk to him. It was as if he was saying 'Don't you dare to hug me'.

Jin shivered. No wonder this man was called a devil.

His brother truly a devil, a black-bellied one at that.

"No..No need, brother. Your shoulder is too precious. I.. I mean, I need to go to the washroom...Yes...I should go to the washroom," He fled away without looking back.

Jungkook had his back facing towards Lisa so she did not feel anything amiss. On the contrary, she was praising her sweet husband in her heart.

"_" Secretary Lim who witnessed the whole situation nearly knelt in front of his President. Great people do have great ways to deal with matters.

...

Tang Yichen sternly glanced at the woman standing in front of him, "Your manager has been sending me countless complaint applications regarding you. Do you know what that means? Even though I have avoided it a few times, but if I won't take action, it will be partiality. Why are you not taking up your work seriously?" he asked coldly.

"Err..." Jisoo awkwardly scratched the back of her neck, unable to say anything.

"Say something," The man coldly said.

Jisoo glanced at the man who was looking like a stern parent disciplining his wayward child. She suddenly felt a bit guilty.
