The meeting

I just came online and noticed this crossed 1k reads !? I mean seriously who are you all ? Why is this getting noticed 😭i am not a writer so thank you i guess .

Jeongguk entered the blonde's office, he had asked the others not to follow them .
When he entered he saw the other with his eyes puffed and his nose red he was biting on his lips to stop himself from crying he surely wasn't expecting him there that much his expression gave away .
"Please not now Mr Jeon." the blonde spoke with so much helplessness , the time he had been with the blonde he had always been so closed off or always some sharp thing to say back , seeing him so vulnerable was a new sight that he wasn't used to , he wasn't sure why he hated Kang Leemin not that his history was spot less but exactly what had he done to Park Jimin , it remained a mystery.

Jeongguk's voice cut through the air, disregarding Jimin's desperate plea for solitude. "Your father sought my agency specifically for your protection from Kang Leemin." he revealed, a declaration laden with unspoken weight. Jimin, meeting the penetrating gaze of the approaching brunette, released a heavy sigh, a testament to the undisclosed burdens carried within.

"I refrained from delving into the details."Jeongguk continued, advancing slowly toward Jimin. The blonde found himself locked in the intense gaze of sapphire eyes, a sharpness that mirrored unspoken determination. "There's one thing you should understand."Jeongguk whispered, his words weaving an intricate tapestry of shared sentiments against Kang.

"We both bear the weight of a common disdain for Kang, a sentiment that binds us." Jimin's trembling lips attempted to hold back tears as he gazed up at the other, his glossy eyes betraying the struggle within. A lone tear, defiant in its escape, traversed the contours of his emotion-laden face.

"I promise." Jeongguk murmured, his words a whispered oath, "he won't ever lay his hands on you." With a tender touch, he wiped away the escaped tear, stepping back. Jimin's gaze lingered on the hand that the other used to wipe away the tear . The other stood back now maintaining a good distance, his hands in the pockets of his pants with a solemn expression "Why are you even here , trying to play a hero" sighed exasperated "You don't even like me!" Jimin uttered looking in the other's cold eyes.

There was a pause the taller maintaining the eye contact , there was this thing about him he never shyed away from eye contact, another of his trait showing his confidence.
"That's debatable Princess" the taller said staring deep into the other's eyes , with a hint of mischief , that wasn't too noticeable but it was there.

"Moreover, I won't claim to not like you explicitly.It's inconsequential to me, and it shouldn't concern you either. I've been tasked with protecting you.If there's one thing you should know about me, it's that I am a man of my word. You are my responsibility, and I am simply doing my job." he continued, the words flowing effortlessly from his lips. There was no haste, and his speech remained composed, as if he were reciting from a perfectly crafted manuscript – collected and unwaveringly confident.

"You and I both know it's not exactly your responsibility. I'm aware you have more pressing matters than playing the role of my bodyguard."the blonde responded, curiosity evident now that the revelation of his heir status had unfolded.

With a deliberate pause, the taller figure spoke, "I was merely bored, Princess. So don't flatter yourself." Hands casually tucked into his pant pockets, he exuded a commanding presence with sharp sapphire eyes.

"And yes, I do have more important matters to attend to, so try to behave while i am gone."Jeongguk chuckled, a low and resonant sound, prompting an eye roll from the blonde.

Jimin and Jeongguk were now back down , the others waiting for the incomplete meeting to come to the main topic they were there for.
