"That child... Dad was the one that handled it. He never told me. I don't know anything..."
The sobbing Irene's speech was unclear. As the others were a distance away from her, they couldn't hear her clearly.
Taehyung frowned slightly, frightening Irene so badly that she spoke again.
"I really don't know! I swear! If I'm lying, then let my face become pockmarked! Sob..."
Irene had always been vain since she was a child. The fact that she had sworn such a vicious oath showed that she really didn't know.
Taehyung couldn't hide his disappointment.
He couldn't be bothered to waste any more time, and he stood up and walked out slowly.
When he passed by Jungkook, Taehyung thought of how he had ultimately been violent just now and ended up embarrassing Jungkook.
He wanted to explain, so he looked at Jungkook.
The man was also looking at him, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
Taehyung thought for a while.
After he thought of what to say, his lips parted. However, the moment he opened his mouth, he couldn't help but yawn.
Jungkook was rendered speechless.
Next to him, Yeonjun was furious.
Never mind that he had hit someone, but he's even yawning so arrogantly at Mr. Jeon now?
Was he showing off?
As soon as the thought appeared in his mind, the expressionless man spoke.
"I definitely wasn't trying to provoke you, Mr. Jeon."
The corners of Yeonjun's lips spasmed a little.
Only a fool would believe that!
He was just about to give him a sarcastic reply when he heard his boss' icy cold reply:
"... Uh-huh."
Yeonjun was confused.
After explaining, Taehyung walked past him slowly.
Jungkook stared at him from the back and narrowed his eyes. The man's actions just now had been decisive and straightforward and hadn't been sloppy in the least.
They were wild and fervent. But it seemed like he hadn't gotten what he wanted, and he looked a little sad.
His listless appearance unexpectedly made him want to help him. As soon as the thought appeared,
he heard Yeonjun, who was standing behind him, complain,
"It's a good thing that you forbade them from fighting. Otherwise, judging from Miss Kim's skill, that group of rich kids would have been beaten up by him."
"..."
Yeonjun said to himself again, "But surely he didn't misunderstand and think that you were saving him, right? he's already currying favor with Jungwoo to get close to you.
If he misunderstands, it'll become even harder to shake him off!"
Jungkook gave him a frosty look. "You're too noisy."
Meanwhile, at the café .
Cherry wore a small T-shirt, overalls, cowboy hat, and sunglasses, and she looked as if she was dressed in an endearing hip-hop style.
She bounced into the café and picked up her cell phone to find that Felix had sent her several text messages.
"Are you here yet? You're already ten minutes late!"
"Surely you didn't run away because you're really a super cute girl?"
Cherry was about to reply when she received a call from Felix.
She pickedup and said, "I'm here, Felix! Table 25... 26... 28!"
An awfully bored Felix was already seated there with three empty glasses in front of him.
"Yep, yep, Table 28, that's right. You're here? Where are you?"
"Look down."
He looked down and saw a cowboy hat.
His gaze continued down past the hat to see his nephew,
Jungwoo's, incredibly familiar face.
Felix was perplexed. He rubbed his eyes and opened them again-the person in front of him was still there.
He became even more confused, and he subconsciously said into the phone,
"Leader?"
"I'm here, Felix."
Beside him was his young nephew's childish voice. Coming from his cell phone was the familiar young girl-sounding voice.
The two voices overlapped, causing Felix to collapse into the chair as if he had just seen a ghost. He looked at Cherry incredulously and stammered,
"L-l-leader?
Cherry blinked her big, round eyes. "Uh-huh, that's me."
She didn't expect Felix to be her uncle, either.
The two of them had even had pizza with her father!
Cherry hung up, climbed onto the chair opposite, and sat down.
Then, she said to the waitress, "A glass of milk, please. I'm still growing up, so I can't drink coffee. Thank you."
Her adorable self melted the waitress' heart into a puddle of goo. "Sure,kiddo. Just a moment."
Then, she quickly ran off to get the milk.
Felix felt as if the sky was falling.Was this really his nephew that had always been clumsy with words?
He really was just pretending when he went against Jungkook all this time! Also! It was more than enough to have just one member who was derelict in his duties and playing games all day long among the Jeons.
Jungwoo was the one and only grandson!
He was Jungkook's only son!
If Jungkook were to know that he had been playing games with Jungwoo...
Felix swallowed hard. He felt as if he could already see himself in his grave. Felix shuddered.
Suddenly, he thought of something and jumped to his feet anxiously:
"Sh*t! It's already half-past eight! Jungkook will be back soon! Hurry and go back up to do your homework,
Jungwoo! Otherwise, Jungkook's gonna kill us both!"
He threw $30 onto the table, picked up Cherry, and ran out as if he was competing in a 100-meter dash race.
But as soon as he ran to the entrance, he immediately saw Jungkook exiting the bar with a group of bodyguards and waiting for the elevator.
Felix was shocked.
He put down Cherry and promptly said, "Go up the stairs to the secondfloor while I stop Jungkook.
After that, hurry to the top floor! Don't let anyone find you!"
Without waiting for Cherry to reply, Felix rushed toward Jungkook as if he was all prepared for his death.
"I need to have a talk with you, Jungkook."
Jungkook asked, "... What kind of talk?"
Felix braced himself against his icy gaze, bit the bullet, and said, "A... h heart... heart-to-heart talk."
"I'm not free,"
Jungkook said coldly and entered the elevator.
Felix followed him in. In order to buy more time, he pressed the elevator buttons for every floor in a panic.
"I-it'll only take a little of your time, Jungkook..."
Jungkook narrowed his eyes and said with mild displeasure,
"You'd best really have some kind of trouble that you want to talk to me about."
"Jungkook, I think I..."
Felix racked his brains, but he couldn't think of any troubles that he had.
Finally, he forcibly said,
"I don't like women?"
As soon as he said that, even he himself was dumb founded. What the f*ck? What did he just say? When he saw the contemplative look in Jungkook's eyes, he panicked.
"No,that's not what I meant, Jungkook. I..."
A rambling Felix said a whole lot of things before he finally made it past the hurdle. When they reached the top floor and opened the door, upon seeing Jungwoo sitting obediently at the desk and studying, he breathed a sigh of relief.
When he saw that Jungkook had entered the study, he sneaked over to Jungwoo and winked.
"For your sake, I've been totally misunderstood..."
A question mark slowly appeared in Jungwoo's mind when he heard his inexplicable words: ?Had Uncle gone mad?
Downstairs...
A puzzled Cherry, who watched her father and uncle enter the elevator, ran after them with her short little legs.
Unfortunately, she still missed the elevator. Did her uncle tell her to go to the top floor just now? Wasn't there only two presidential suites on the top floor?
As it turned out, Daddy was the dummy next door that Mommy had mentioned?! She was going to the top floor to look for her father and ask him why he had driven Mommy and herself downstairs!
Didn't Daddy like her anymore? With that in mind, she entered the elevator, tiptoed, and pressed the button to the top floor.
