(ENG)(BTS/JINCENTRIC) INNOCENCE
Chapter 8
-"Make yourself at home. This is your blanket. You can leave your stuff in this closet. I'm not used to sleeping with others, so you'll sleep in the living room. Is it ok? " - Kim Seokjin took Jungkook home and showed him his place.
-"No worries. I'm very grateful that you let me stay here. It's much warmer than in the park"- The boy smiled, showing off his sweet bunny teeth.
The more Kim Seokjin looked at him, the more adorable Jungkook became. Jin decided to cook a hearty meal today to welcome his new flatmate. The two then went to the supermarket to buy ingredients and some personal items for Jungkook. That night dinner, Jungkook felt like it was the best meal he'd had in 10 years since it reminded him of a taste of home he'd almost forgotten. The two ate and drank while chit-chatting happily. At night, the air got colder, but warm and gentle affection dispelled the cold of two lonely souls in the small flat.
The following day, as soon as Jin and Jungkook arrived at the hotel, Ms. Hwang-the supervisor, informed Jin that the GM wanted to see him at his office. Jin told Jungkook to follow Hwang and quickly went to the GM's office.
"Why does he want to see me?" - The vague thoughts occupied his mind all the way.
Knock...knock
-"Come on in"- This husky and magnetic voice of the GM was truly unforgettable once you heard it. Seokjin gently pushed open the door to greet the GM.
-"Hello Mr. Kim, I heard from Hwang supervisor that you found me"
-"Good morning Seokjin, sit down, I'll be right over"- Kim Taehyung smiled and signaled him to sit down before returning to the phone call.
Kim Seokjin sat silently on the sofa, looking down at his fingernails. Still, his ears were trying to focus on the content of the GM's ongoing conversation across the table.
-"It's our honor to cooperate with you, Mr. Oh."
-"You can rest assured, everything will be carefully prepared as required."
-"Of course, you're the most valuable customer of the L group. Haha, a best friend indeed"
-"Yes, yes, you're right."
-"I ensure our staff will not make any mistakes."
-"Yes, thank you. See you soon."
-"Shit, such an arrogant gaffer."
Kim Seokjin was surprised and wondered if he had misheard the soft swear words coming from the amiable and polite-looking general manager.
-"Sorry to keep you waiting for so long"- Kim Taehyung smiled warmly while walking towards the sofa.
"Must have heard wrong," Jin said to himself as he stood up and politely bowed his head as a greeting.
-"Take it easy, don't need to be that formal with me. Take your sit" - Taehyung went to Jin's side, put his arm around his staff's shoulders, and pressed him down on the chair. The close proximity made Jin stiff with discomfort. Jin wasn't sure if the person next to him noticed the stiffness or didn't care since the distance between the two was maintained unchanged when the conversation started.
-"How long have you been working here?"- Kim Taehyung sat on the sofa's arm comfortably while initiating the talk with a friendly smile.
-"It's been more than a year and a half," Jin replied nervously.
-"Oh, it's only been a year and a half, but your name really stands out in this hotel."
Kim Seokjin slightly frowned as he heard the dubious meaning behind that statement.
Kim Taehyung noticed Jin's silence and that slight frow. He laughed and patted him on the shoulder.
-"Don't get me wrong. I mean, your work achievements are very outstanding"
-"Thank you very much"- Jin smiled reluctantly.
-"I called you up here 'cause I need you to do me a favor"- Kim Taehyung finally left the position next to him to sit down on the opposite side.
-"I am looking for a personal secretary. After conducting an assessment, I found that you are suitable for this position."
Seokjin was taken aback by the sudden offer. Kim Taehyung wanted him to be his secretary? It was assured that Taehyung knew about the special relationship between him and Park Jimin. Moreover, he was probably on Mrs. Kim's side. Why...
-"How do you think?"
-"Mr. Kim...I don't think I'm suitable for this position."- Kim Seokjin respectfully rejected the offer.
-"Because of Park Jimin?"- Kim Taehyung raised the corner of his mouth. His sharp eyes followed Jin's entire reaction.
-"Sir...I don't know what you mean"- Jin stubbornly against his gaze, pretending to be stupid again.
-"Come on, Seokjin. I'm indeed new and don't know the environment here well. Still, I don't think it's that hard to find information about you and our dear director."
-"I supposed you are smart enough to not be misled by rumors."
Kim Taehyung was a bit surprised by his response; he smiled.
-"More than anyone, I hope those rumors are not true"- Pausing for a moment, he continued: "Let me tell you one thing. I can help you find the real culprit who killed Park Yerin. "
Seokjin's eyes widen in shock.
-"Sounds tempting, right? Don't be that surprised. Park Jimin might be able to help you avoid the conviction. But the fact that you are the first suspect hasn't changed. You don't want to do anything to clean this stain?" -Taehyung conceitedly crossed his legs and leaned back to the sofa.
-"Why do you want to help me?" Jin's face was filled with suspicion.
-"'Cause I want you to be my secretary. That's it"- Taehyung shrugged.
