Bounded by Destiny

CHAPTER 30

Taken aback by the unexpected warning, Jungkook nodded in understanding, his mind swirling with questions as he rode the elevator to the third floor. Each ding of the passing floors only served to intensify his apprehension, leaving his heart pounding in his chest as he prepared to face whatever awaited him.

Stepping out onto the third floor, Jungkook approached Taehyung's office door with hesitant determination. Just as he raised his hand to knock, the sound of Taehyung's raised voice echoed from within, sending a shiver down Jungkook's spine.

"CAN'T YOU DO A SINGLE THING PROPERLY? HOW THE HELL DID YOU MESS THIS UP AFTER THREE MONTHS OF WORK?" Taehyung's voice boomed, filled with frustration and anger.

Summoning all his courage, Jungkook knocked softly on the door, his heart racing as he waited for a response. Taehyung's command to enter came with a forcefulness that made Jungkook's nerves spike even further.

Opening the door, Jungkook was met with the sight of Taehyung, his expression initially contorted with anger. However, as his gaze landed on Jungkook, his features softened, a flicker of surprise crossing his face.

"Bub, you're here?" Taehyung's voice was gentler now, the anger dissipating in the presence of his husband.

Nodding in response, Jungkook felt a rush of relief wash over him, though his apprehension still lingered. Before he could fully process the situation, Taehyung's attention shifted to the assistant in the room, his tone sharp and commanding.

"Get out," Taehyung ordered, his voice leaving no room for argument. The assistant, a new addition to the office in Yoongi's absence.

As the assistant departed, Jungkook couldn't help but notice the simmering anger in her eyes, directed towards him. Taehyung's next words broke through the tension, drawing Jungkook's attention back to his husband.

"Come, love," Taehyung beckoned, his voice softer now as he gestured for Jungkook to approach.

As Jungkook obediently made his way toward Taehyung, his gaze inadvertently swept to the side, catching sight of the assistant. Observing her attire, Jungkook couldn't help but notice the revealing dress she wore, accentuating her curves and exposing her skin. A sudden pang stirred within Jungkook, an inexplicable feeling that unsettled him and ignited a flicker of irritation, though he couldn't quite decipher its origin.

Before Jungkook could take another step, chaos ensued as the assistant deliberately tripped on her heels, colliding with Taehyung and causing him to lose his balance. Reacting on instinct, Jungkook swiftly moved forward, pulling the assistant away from Taehyung and guiding her to the ground to prevent further harm.

As the girl groaned from the impact, Jungkook's anger flared at the sight of her provocative attire. With a determined motion, he positioned himself between Taehyung and the assistant, silently declaring his loyalty and protection for his husband.

Observing Jungkook's jealousy, Taehyung couldn't suppress a smile of joy at witnessing this new side of his husband. He got the urge to see more, He extended his hand to help the assistant up, but Jungkook intercepted, pushing Taehyung's hand away and wrapping himself around Taehyung in a protective embrace.

With a steely glare directed at the assistant, Jungkook's voice rang out with authority, "Can't you understand? Get out of here."

Though unable to contain her own frustration, the assistant begrudgingly complied, storming out of the room in a fit of anger.

Observing Jungkook's protective stance, Taehyung couldn't help but feel a surge of pride and admiration for his husband's unwavering devotion. Before he could express his gratitude, Jungkook cut him off with a stern reprimand.
