Taehyung descended the staircase to head to the living room on the first floor. He found that jungkook had already changed into a black suit. He was wiping his wet hair with a white towel.
A maid held a tray and stood on the side. When jungkook saw taehyung, he placed the towel on the tray.
Taehyung thought regretfully as to why he changed his attire so quickly? He had yet to get a good look of his healthy, outstanding figure.
However, even in his suit, he made for an impressive sight. His complexion was cold and graceful. Truly, he was utterly perfect from every angle!
“You’re awake? Come and have breakfast.” jungkook gestured for him to come forward.
Taehyung approached him and saw that the luxurious dining table was lined with Wintermelon Glutinous Rice Soup, Steamed Egg Custard, Crystal Dumplings... along with ten other dishes.
He thought that there was so much food. Jungkook sure could eat!
“I know you’re trying to lose weight. I instructed the kitchen to prepare a lighter breakfast.”
“There’s so much food here. Why did you still ask Butler Kim to ask me about what I would like to have?”
Jungkook's gaze turned doting. “I was worried that these wouldn’t suit your tastes. If you don’t like any of it, I’ll ask the kitchen to prepare something else.”
“I like these, I like all of them!” he scooped himself a bowl of Shark Fin Ginseng Congee and began eating mouthfuls of it. “Why aren’t you eating?”
“I already ate.” His expression was cold but his tone was warm.
He stiffened. “Dare I ask if this was all prepared for me?”
He nodded.
“...”
He finished a bowl of congee and stood up. When he saw he was about to speak, he quickly interjected. “Don’t persuade me to eat more. I’m in the midst of losing weight. I’ll be upset at whoever tries to persuade me otherwise.”
He furrowed his brows and instructed helplessly with some heartache. “Pay attention to your nutrition intake. Don’t harm your body.”
“I got it.”
Taehyung turned to run upstairs. Jungkook watched his charming back view as he left.
Butler Kim then approached him and respectfully said, “Young Master, Mr. Kim said he wishes to have human meat.”
On a rare occasion, jungkook's distant, cold gaze appeared slightly confused. “his taste is that unique?”
“Yes.” namjoon furrowed his brows. “What’s outrageous is that he wishes to eat you.”
jungkook suddenly gave a small, meaningful smile. It appeared as though he was suddenly in a good mood.
Namjoon was confused. He said in a severe voice, “he wishes to eat you. You...”
“taehyung is my fiancée. If he doesn’t eat me, who will he eat?” jungkook stood up and patted him on the shoulder. “Butler kim's thoughts are still old-fashioned. I won’t blame you for being confused.”
Namjoon stood stiffly with a stony expression. This was the first time his young master spoke so sincerely to him.
Could it be that, as a butler, his awareness was still not good enough?
But there were countless people in this world who hoped to drink his young master’s blood and to gnaw on his meat.
First, there were his enemies in the business and political world. Second, it would be jaewon. This was because if anything happened to Young Master, the Jeon family would instantly fall into the hands of jaewon, an outsider.
...
taehyung carried a bag with him as he passed by jungkook's room. He heard him making a call.
“On the first day, assign hoseok to go swimming. On the second day, toss him to go sleep in a cave. On the third day, get him to go harvest honey. This is hoseok's punishment. I wrote it clearly on the list. Do I need to repeat myself?” jungkook furrowed his brows.
His cold tone conveyed his impatience.
taehyung's expression was extremely poor.
Fuck, hoseok's punishment was so light? He was angered to death!
As expected, hoseok was a brother who had been through life and death with him and he was only a piece of clothing?
Originally, he had decided not to go to school today and to stay in the Jeon Villa with him.
But now... hmph.
He didn’t wish to see him.
All the warm emotions which had emerged from his brown sugar ginger tea last night, dissipated.
He could angrily interrogate him about this, but he recalled himself asking for mercy on hoseok's behalf. Without him, he would have died.
If he continued pursuing this matter, he would appear especially petty.
Thus, when jungkook ended the call and stepped out of the study room, he saw that he was smiling sweetly.
His smile was too bright. Ever since he lost weight, the sparkle in his eyes became even more luminous. This caused him to neglect the concealed, stiffness behind his smile.
He took a large step forward and was about to bring him into his arms.
He quickly took a step back. “I have a class at 10 this morning. I’ll leave for school now.”
jungkook wasn’t someone who would neglect work for personal matters. In fact, he was a workaholic and was usually very efficient when it came to work matters.
Thus, as long as his heart was set on him, he would not stop him from going to school.
Even if...
He really wished that he would stay, even if it was for half a day.
Taehyung did not wait for him to respond. He walked around him and rushed down the stairs.
The Jeon Villa was truly too big. The luxurious layout was comparable to that of an ancient palace. The only difference was that it was furnished with an European approach.
taehyung walked for quite some time before he arrived at the Jeon Villa’s entrance.
He was currently 58 kilograms.
With his height, he was definitely not considered to be fat. However, if he wanted to obtain a 50 kilograms figure, he needed to continue training his body.
He was preparing to walk to school when a SUV suddenly came to a stop next to him.
The windows slowly moved down. The driver was hangyeol.
jungkook sat in the backseat. His posture was upright and his aura was cold. “I’ll send you to school.”
His cold, icy voice did not contain much warmth.
Taehyung was about to be moved by his thoughtful action when he recalled hoseok's punishment...
“It’s all right. I can walk to school.”
“Get in!” His cold voice was firm and clearly would not accept any refusal.
He did not wish to be dragged into the car and could only open the door to climb in.
He actually climbed into the front seat!
Jungkook sat in the backseat and frowned unhappily. His sharp gaze instantly turned chilly.
Did he hate him to the point where he had to sit so far away from him?
The car slowly drove towards SNU, which was located in the outskirts of the city centre.
It wasn’t clear if it was because the air-conditioner was set to too low a temperature, or because jungkook's aura was far too chilly, but it was frighteningly cold inside the car.
The driver, hangyeol, and taehyung were both clearly cold to the point where they were nearly trembling.
Furthermore, there was also a suffocating, heavy air surrounding them.
Taehyung adjusted his breathing and turned to look at hangyeol.
Previously, after his second sister, jennie climbed into his bed, he did not honestly report his actions to jungkook.
He wondered if his second sister had bribed him further?
Jungkook's sharp eyes tracked taehyung's gaze.
This damn man. He would rather look at a chauffeur than look at him?
Earlier in the morning, hadn’t he been watching him with a sparkling gaze?
Hangyeol sensed his boss’s unhappy gaze. He was frightened to the point where his teeth were almost chattering. “Mr. Kim, please don’t look at this subordinate.”
Can’t you tell that Boss’s eyes are nearly shooting ice out of them?
“Who is looking at you?” taehyung responded coldly. “I’m looking at the scenery outside. It’s coincidental that you’re on that side.”
Although hangyeol did not believe his words, he did not refute it.
A hint of confusion appeared in jungkook's eyes. He watched as he turned away before the anger in his eyes finally dissipated a little.
He had originally hoped to use this opportunity to properly hold him.
His period was here and he could not share a room with him. Taking this opportunity to embrace him would have been a good way to relieve his thirst.
But since he was intentionally putting distance between them, he could only suppress his anger and put on an act to appear as though he was unmoved.
The car was installed with an ‘all-natural’ air-conditioner. Taehyung felt that he was not seated in a car but in an ice cave. Even worse, this car was moving at an extremely slow speed. He peered at the speedometer and saw that the current speed was 30km/hr!
It was moving slower than even a bicycle.
He said unhappily, “hangyeol , could I trouble you to drive faster? With the speed you’re moving, exactly when will I arrive at school?”
“My apologies, Mr. Kim. The car is broken. We can only move at this speed.”
Taehyung wanted to ask him if the car was broken, how was it still moving?
Fuck, he sure could lie without faltering.
He took in hangyeol's flustered expression and guessed that he wanted the car to move faster even more than he did.
He suddenly understood that this was on jungkook's orders. He was only allowed to drive at this speed.
It was a silent torture.
Thankfully, the school was not too far away. Although they were moving five times slower than normal, they arrived at SNU's entrance at 9:00a.m..
Taehyung turned back and shot jungkook a sweet smile. “jungkook, thank you for sending me to school!”
His smile caused jungkook's frozen heart to shake slightly.
Still, he faintly felt that something was amiss.
He tugged on the door handle but discovered that it was locked. He couldn’t open the car door. “Um, I’m going to school now.”
jungkook leaned back lazily against his seat. His expression was frigid cold and his aura made it difficult for one to approach him.
“Could you ask the chauffeur to unlock the door?” he asked politely.
This was his car. He would not carelessly touch it.
“Payment, ” he coldly responded with one word.
Taehyung was dazed for a moment. Even a small act like unlocking the car door needed payment. “Can I give you five dollars?”
Jungkook's expression instantly darkened. His gaze also turned cold. “What do you think?”
“Then, fifty dollars?”
His expression was dark to the point where it seemed like smoke would appear above his head anytime. His frigid gaze held sufficient rage to kill someone.
He did not dare to provoke him any further. He shifted his sparkling eyes and leaned back from his seat to reach him. With a soft, smacking noise, he left a kiss on his face.
He quickly shifted back and asked carefully. “Will this do?”
Jungkook did not expect him to suddenly kiss him. His frozen heart instantly melted.
The early rage also completely dissipated. He nodded slightly.
Taehyung was smart and naturally understood that he was angry at him for not sitting by his side.
He had intentionally done so because he enjoyed seeing the way he became angry at him.
He had only given him a small, light kiss. Was that all it took?
Jungkook was all-powerful and ruthless in the business world. It turned out, he was actually this easy to coax!
He understood in his heart that it was because he cared too much for him.
Taehyung suddenly felt a little upset.
He shouldn’t have gotten into a conflict with him over a small matter concerning that obnoxious person, hoseok.
What did hoseok count for? How was he worth causing problems between the two of them?
As he thought about this, his mood suddenly lifted. He smiled sincerely. “jungkook, you’re so good!”
Jungkook took in his sudden, joyful appearance. His radiant expression was definitely sincere.
Earlier, wasn’t he upset? Why did he change so quickly?
Could it be that, on their periods were prone to rapid mood swings?
Regardless, as long as he was happy, all was well.
His frozen heart softened along with his mood.
Since Boss was satisfied with taehyung's actions, hangyeol took the initiative to unlock the car door.
After alighting from the car, he did not immediately head in. He pulled open the backseat door and threw himself into jungkook's firm arms. He said gloomily, “My dear, I can’t bear to leave you!”
Jungkook's back stiffened slightly. His eyes seemed to reveal hints of his deep emotions and he responded coldly. “I’m the same.”
“In that case, I won’t go to my class...”
“Go,” he responded heavily. He desperately wanted him to stay, but he once mentioned that he wanted to properly focus on his studies.
In that case, he should not delay his school work for him.
He closed his eyes and intentionally lied. “I have something on at 10:00 in the morning. I can’t accompany you.” In fact, he had planned to spend the entire afternoon with him.
“All right then.” he got off the car and waved to him.
The SUV immediately drove away in a gust of wind. The speed at which it left definitely was not 30km/hr. It was at least three times that.
Indeed, the car was not broken. Jungkook had simply wanted to spend more time with him.
His heart began to fill a little sour again.
A large group of students were gathered at the school entrance. One female entrance spoke up in excitement. “Wasn’t that jungkook earlier? He’s really too handsome!”
“jungkook sent taehyung to school. If he will let me be in the same car as him one day, even if he sends me to hell, I’ll be willing,” a beautiful girl responded.
“Quit dreaming, all of you. He already has a fiancée.” The person who interjected was a male student.
Taehyung had guessed that jungkook's appearance would draw a lot of attention in the school.
“Wow! Taehyung, how the fuck did you lose so much weight?” mirae, from Year 4, Class 1, shouted.
“Not only that, your tanned skin actually became fair again!”
“Fuck, taehyung, your figure is amazing! Your height seems to be around 1.67 to 1.68 metres. Your weight should be around 50 kilograms. It’s as though a big fattie has transformed into a model!”
Bye bye! Take care!
