(ENG)(BTS/JINCENTRIC) INNOCENCE
Chapter 14
Kim Seokjin looked at the most luxurious villa in the city's heart; an uneasy feeling filled his blank mind. Seeing him freezing in front of the gate, Park Jimin smiled and led him inside.
-"Where is this?" - Thanks to the pull from Park Jimin's hand, he quickly regained consciousness and asked urgently when they were entering the villa.
-"My house,"- Park Jimin replied.
-"Why did you bring me here?" - Hearing the answer, Jin panicked and wanted to get his hand out of the tight grasp of the younger, who was walking in front of him.
-"The answer you want is here"- Feeling Jin struggle to withdraw his hand from his, Jimin increased his strength, said coldly, "Now, stay still and listen to me."
By the time they entered the lobby area, the space had already been filled with crowds. The room was built and decorated in the classical French style. At this time, it was even more majestic under the sparkling light from the classical crystal chandeliers. The melodious music mixed with the cliché laughter of the guests wearing expensive clothes and those fake human-skin masks made Park Jimin feel contempt and scornful. He turned to look at the person behind him.
Kim Seokjin was standing there silently with his eyes moving around as if they were assessing something. The man in a high-class white suit stood still but gave off a comfortably warm and gentle feeling compared to the surrounding flashy atmosphere.
Park Jimin had been attracted to him since the first day he met him at the university. Since then, he unconsciously gave birth to the desire to get close, touch, embrace, and love the senior. However, no matter how hard he tried, the warmth of his beloved, he couldn't get it but could only watch him give it to others. While Park Jimin was focused on him, Seokjin quickly scanned the entire lobby. His heart raced faster as he noticed a few somewhat familiar faces that he had been trying to cram in his mind from Kim Namjoon's document. These people were the partners in the crime of the Park family. Well, it was such an honor to contemplate the tigers' cave.
-"Isn't this my lovely secretary?" Suddenly, a low, magnetic voice pulled them out of their thoughts.
Park Jimin furrowed his brows in disgust as his eyes caught the man in the red suit approaching them with a face so handsome that he wanted to hit it harshly.
-"He's not your secretary."
-"C'mon, Director Park. You shouldn't say that. Even though he hasn't worked for me yet, he will officially start working as a secretary next week, right, Seokjin?" - Kim Taehyung shook his champagne glass towards Seokjin and smiled teasingly.
Kim Seokjin found the atmosphere between his bosses extremely tense, so he was a bit hesitant to respond. Noticing that he was silent and not dared to answer, Kim Taehyung burst out of laugh.
-"I didn't expect you to be so afraid of him. It's fine to not answer, but you have to keep your promise. Are you happy with the gift I gave you?"
Kim Seokjin tried to keep calm while facing the man in the red suit. He put on a graceful smile and replied
-"Very pleased, thank you."
Park Jimin observed two of them and spoke in annoyance.
-"Kim Taehyung, that's enough. Fuck off, I don't have time and patience to listen to your shit."
-"Our little Jimin. The older you get, the poorer your attitude is. Don't forget I'm your cousin."
-"Shut the fuck up. You're just the dog of that wicked biddy. Know yourself and don't irritate me"- Park Jimin mockingly grinned at his self-proclaimed cousin.
Kim Seokjin kept silent and pretended not to care as he heard Park Jimin's harsh words and witnessed his offensive attitude towards his other boss. However, he noticed that the GM's beautiful elongated hand holding the glass of champagne was gradually turning pale, although his face still maintained the same grin as before.
-"Dog? Well, interesting comparison." Kim Taehyung bowed his head in contemplation to hide his angry eyes. After a few seconds, he looked up at Seokjin, smiling warmly-"You look like someone who likes puppies, don't you, Seokjin? If I were a dog, I'd be the most handsome Dog on the planet, wouldn't I? "
Kim Seokjin almost burst out laughing at the GM's narcissistic question. Still feeling the frozen air emanating from the person next to him, Jin had to try hard to keep the corners of his lips from moving up. Even so, if the outsiders looked closely, they could still recognize the corners of his lips were trembling violently, his eyes were constantly blinking while his eyebrows furrowed in seriousness. Looking at his extremely humorous expression, Kim Taehyung secretly laughed. "So cute. It'll be interesting to have a pet like him besides."
The awkward atmosphere and their attractive appearances stood out in the crowd, causing people to turn around and whisper to their companions from time to time. Seokjin's nerves were being squeezed by the suffocating atmosphere when suddenly a cold, authoritative voice rang out from behind.
-"Are you waiting for me to carry myself out here to greet you guys?"
Park Jimin and Kim Taehyung quickly suppressed the war, returning to their usual polite gentlemen and respectfully greeting the man.
-"Good evening, Chairman Park. Wishing you a happy birthday"- Not only the two people saying this were surprised, but the rest were also amazed at the two's pre-rehearsed uniformity. Park Jimin frowned and threw a hateful look at Taehyung while the other just calmly grinned.
The attitudes of the youngest son and his cousin were captured without missing a single detail in the eyes of the emperor reigning the L dynasty. Kim Seokjin was so bewildered when he had the honor to meet the legendary emperor of the L empire in flesh and blood that he forgot to greet him. Park Taehwan hummed in response to the two and then looked at the man in a white suit standing behind his son. He frowned slightly.
-"Who is this?"
-"My fiancé"
-"My secretary"
-"..."- The atmosphere was as quiet as the windless days before a terrible storm was coming. Seokjin felt like many chemicals were exploding in his brain, and his limbs went cold once he met Park Jaehwan's sharp gaze.
-"Wow. Isn't my brother-in-law so attractive?" A voice with both a soft tone and a seductive charm sounded like a gentle breeze that eased the tense atmosphere.
