Chapter 6: Chapter 5

With his mouth half-open,

Taehyung looked at Jungkook in astonishment.

The man was very tall, and was a little over 6’2″.

Dressed in a black bespoke suit, his legs were long and straight.

The lavish hotel lights spilled onto his expressionless face, making his facial features appear three-dimensional and refined with a firm outline, and he gave off a sense of loftiness.

However, the mole at the corner of his lips forcibly merged allure and coldness, adding a sense of abstinence to him.

The little boy he was holding was also wearing a suit.

He was leaning on the man’s shoulder and had buried his head into it to hide his appearance, so as to prevent the media from secretly taking photos of him and exposing information about him.

Unfortunately, he was in no mood to appreciate his good looks.

Had Jeon Jungkook … caught wind of his identity as V?

He was just thinking about it when he noticed Jungkook frowning.

In an imposing manner, he said, “Stay away from my son. Also, you’re not my type.”

His voice was deep and melodious like a baritone hitting one’s eardrums.

It made people want to hear him speak a little more, yet they were dissuaded by that chilly aura of his that reached bone-deep.

Taehyung ’s eyes, which had been drooping because of drowsiness, widened big and round in this instant.

A question mark slowly appeared in his mind: ?

While he was stunned, the man turned away and strode off.

The people around looked at him all at once, and they took a step back as

if he was some kind of virus while they engaged in private discussion:

“In recent years, countless people have tried to approach Mr. Jeon by pleasing the Jeons’ sole grandson, but Mr. Jeon hates that the most!”

“It seemed like the last woman who had dared to have ideas about the Jeons’ sole grandson had married a 60-year-old man in the end.

That man is too bold!”

It was only when he overheard the comments that Taehyung finally understood what he meant.

…Is that man out of his mind?

Soon, Jungkook left the lobby. The bodyguards also withdrew, and the hotel lobby went back to normal.

Inside the extra-long black Bentley.

Jungwoo had a sullen look on his face, and he made a silent protest.

Jungkook frowned.

His son’s abnormal behavior tonight had caused him to check the surveillance camera footage in the corridor.

There, he saw that the man had kissed and hugged his son.

The problem was that for the very first time, Jungwoo, who had always been averse to others and disliked physical contact, hadn’t resisted.

Was it because that man was so fair and beautiful that he was overly eye-catching?

He thought of his sheer beauty that even his simple dressing couldn’t hide, and the kind of careless wildness in his actions when he was yawning.

And, in particular, the rejection and indifference in his  tiger-like eyes when he was facing him.

He was unlike other men. he certainly had a few tricks up his sleeve!

At the Kims.

The birthday party was already over when Gong ki arrived.

Irene’s face was swollen, and a clear handprint could be seen. She applied a towel wrapped around ice as a cold compress to her cheek.

In tears, she complained, “Why are you here so late, Gong ki?”

Gong ki looked uncomfortable for a moment.

On the way to the Kims, he had taken a detour and asked a private investigator to help inquire about the beauty he saw at the airport today.

He coughed and put on an anxious and concerned look. “What happened?

Did that fatty hit you?

Is he refusing to annul the engagement?

Where is he? I will pay him a visit myself!”

Pay him a visit himself… That means they’ll meet.

For some reason, Irene thought of that aggressively beautiful face, and a sense of anxiety formed in her heart.

If Gong Ki were to meet Taehyung, he definitely wouldn’t take a fancy to her… Right?

Irene  tightened her hold on the towel.

Then, she immediately said, “Gong ki , you don’t need to go in person.

He just can’t bear to let go of the company. Don’t worry, I’ll make him agree.”

Gong ki  didn’t insist. After all, his mind was no longer here.

He nodded and said with emphasis, “Without the company, Grandpa will never agree to our engagement!

I’ll leave this matter to you. I don’t want to see his pig-like face, either.

By the way, did he become even fatter?”

Irene became wary. She didn’t answer but said,

“Don’t meet him if you don’t want to.

I’ll definitely come up with a solution about the wedding gift.”

“Okay.”

After leaving the Kims,

Gong ki  drove absentmindedly. However, his mind was completely on the man whom he had met at the airport.

He didn’t know who he was, but the air around him, and his beauty were something that he had rarely come across in his whole life.

It’d be great if I can take him as my wife.

As soon as the thought formed, he couldn’t curb his strong desire to see him again.

Suddenly, he received a call from the private investigator.

“Mr. Park, I couldn’t find the identity of that beauty, but I found the hotel where he’s temporarily staying at.”

Anthony’s eyes lit up. “Send it to me!”

— When Taehyung reached the hotel, Cherry was already asleep.

he went straight to the study.

he sat on the sofa and made a call.

“Solo, give me all the information about Idealian Pharmaceuticals.”

The lively voice sounded a little powerless at the moment. “Say, V, don’t go too far.

Do you think I’m your subordinate just because I owe you my life?

Don’t I, the world’s number one hacker, deserve some respect?

You’re asking me to do even something as trivial as this?

How about you name your price, and we call it even?”

The corners of Taehyung ’s lips curled upward slightly. “Sure. How much is your life worth?”

“…” After a moment of silence, Solo said, “Fine, you win. Give me five minutes.”

Five minutes later,

Solo emailed him all the information about Idealian Pharmaceuticals.

Idealian Pharmaceuticals was the company that his mother had left behind when he died.

He was still young at that time, so the company was handed over to a dedicated manager to handle in him stead.

He had never taken over the reins all this time, either.

However, for the Kims to want it so much, and even wanted him to give it to Irene as a wedding gift,

there must be something fishy going on.

He carefully looked through the information until he heard faint footsteps in the soundproof corridor.

Disturbed by the sound, Taehyung frowned.

Mrs. Lee explained, “There are people staying in the presidential suite next door. I heard it’s Mr. Jeon.”

His cell phone beeped at this point—it was a message from Solo:

“The number one family is impressive indeed.

Mr. Jeon offered me a few million dollars just to know whether you’re a man or a woman. V , you’re done for!

Jeon Jungkook again.

Taehyung cast his tiger-like eyes downward slightly.

His long, slender fingers tapped a few times on the keyboard, and he replied:

“Pass him a message for me.”

In the presidential suite next door.

The tall and slender Jungkook sat on the sofa and leaned back.

His assistant Yeonjun stood there respectfully.

“Mr. Jeon, Solo has brought a message from Dr. V.”

Jungkook looked up coldly. “What is it?”

Yeonjun coughed and touched his glasses.

Then, he read out the message methodically.

“Dr. V asks,

‘Mr. Jeon, are you looking for me in such a hurry because you require brain surgery?’”

“…” With this, the temperature in the room dropped to a freezing point.

After a long while, Jungkook finally suppressed his anger and squeezed out two words:

“The! Photo!”

Yeonjun instantly understood what he meant, and he immediately brought out a photo of Dr. V that he had bought at a high price and handed it to him.

Jungkook took it.

He would see just who exactly the person making fun of him was!
