Simon sat across a bartender and asked for something to drink. The girl looked amused considering what he always had, this was his usual place. " I thought you don't drink" she spoke as she poured some booze in his glass. "Ice cubes?"
"Nah am good" He couldn't stop thinking about Gwen, it has been days since he last spoke with her. Earlier she called jungkook's office landline and she was forced to make a deal with him. Simon remembered how he had smirked at the end of their call, he knew jungkook got what he wanted.
He sipped on his glass as he contemplated whether to call Gwen and ask what their conversation with jungkook was all about or not. It was now his problem since she was carrying his child, right? But what if she changed her mind? What if she decided to abort? Maybe jungkook had something on her so she decided to do as he said? Was that the reason why he was grinning after their phone call.
He was in so much thoughts he didn't hear sheng calling him. " Hello... Your okay?" She asked waving a hand at him. "Uhhmm.." he looked around as sheng followed his every step. "I think I drunk too much" Simon murmured. "What....you haven't even drunk half of your glass, but you ...." She said laughing at him. "Hey, it's not that..." Simon argued but when he raised his head and saw Sheng still laughing as he poured a drink for another girl, he laughed too.
Simon spared another glance at her, she was still smiling as she looked at him. 'she has a pretty smile...as always' he thought to himself before he realised what he was thinking and threw a hand behind his pocket trousers to get his wallet. Maybe he was drunk, how can he shameless start seeing other girl's beauty yet there was one who was being forced to abort his child? He threw some papers on the counter or whatever before turning to leave. Sheng looked at him with a wondering face until she asked. "You leaving? This early...C'mon you have just arrived" it was so soon. Her face looked sad as she opened her mouth to speak when another guy interrupted. "Give me a shot" by the time she poured the drink and turned to look at Simon, he was already far leaving the place.
"He's full of trouble." She murmured as she glanced at the direction he left at and continued, "is it me?"
" Pour me another, you can give me everything" a voice spoke. "You came with someone who will take you back, right?" Sheng chuckled as she poured another drink for the guy. "I always came with someone..." The guy snapped. "Not yesterday, I had to trouble my guys to call your people who didn't even want to get you. You will find your body at the police station this time" she fired back at him.
Her mood was had changed, she was still thinking about Simon. She remembered two years back when she was still a minor, classmates bullied her and forced her to do things. Simon used to leave at the same building as her. He reported the bullies but sheng ended up denying that she was Indeed bullied. From then Simon refused to help her even when he caught the bullies red handed. He didn't bother helping her. She didn't want his help, or maybe she thought he was middling in her business so he swore never to do so again. That day, the guys were filming her and forcing her to jack off Infront of the camera, Simon saw the scene behind closes doors, and decided to back off. When he heard her screams, he couldn't. So he badged in beating the hell out of all the kids. Ever since then, sheng decided to stay by his side until she left highschool.
Now that she thinks of it, if it was not for Simon, she would still be the loser she used to be.
....
"I can't let her abort." Simon spoke Infront of jungkook. It was already late when he left the bar, maybe he wasn't a good drinker course when he left sheng, he had puked alot. He felt sick and at last ended up calling up jungkook who told him to help him find a nice hotel where the world wouldn't find him even if they wanted to. When jungkook heard Simon's voice who sounded drunk, he told him to meet him at the office.
"I thought you were the principled man who does not do evil. But lately you have not been your usual self, impregnating women, now you drink and you still can't take measures" jungkook spoke coldly as he stood Infront of the chair Simon was sitting on. Simon just groaned at all that. He slowly raises his head and looked up at Jungkook who had a disgusted face. He grabbed his hand between both his own hands as he spoke, "please let the baby be born, please" he pleaded.
"You stupid punk, is that the reason why you got yourself like this? Because you want.....c'mon bro." Jungkook bursted at Simon and pulled his hand away. "I love her her Jeon, I want her baby. Try to understand." Simon pleaded again. The latter looked at him with wonder, he couldn't believe his guy was so...this. Jungkook got his office phone and spoke something before getting his coat to leave as he shrugged, "stay right there until they come"
....
(Jimin? Is that...where are you? And why do you sound like...never mind. You okay?) Jimin had managed to contact Taehyung. He needed to know how he's been doing. He had to find out himself if it was possible that he had a hand in everything happening at the Jeon Company.
(Uhmmm....are you...well?) Jimin spoke, he was so much trying to hide that he wasn't okay but Taehyung must have noticed although he didn't push it.
(What do you think? That I have got a broken neck? Am okay, Jimin. Are you?) Taehyung joked before asking. He knew Jimin inside out. He could hear his pain even when he was on a call. Seeing that Jimin did not react, he continued, (You sure you wanna...uhmmm...stay with him?)
(I was wondering....if uhmmm....Did you uhh....come across_some docu_ments?) Taehyung didn't speak immediately so Jimin continued but he shrugged his question trying not to push it since he wasn't even sure. (Forget it, it's nice if you are fine and can speak like that.)
(What did he tell you?) Taehyung asked, his voice didn't sound impressed. Jimin just signed at the other end. He tried to get taehyung off the topic but he just got him mad and he scold him angryly. (Stop covering for him Jimin, I don't know why you always like this. What kind of affection do you have for him that your even doubting the people close to you? Don't you see, he's trying to put you in a place where you stop trusting me. Are you that blind...)
(That's my kind of love.....am sorry for all hurting we caused you) Jimin spoke before Tae could finish and he ended the call.
"We..?" Tae quoted Jimin in amusement.
What was it that jungkook fed him? Can't he just close his eyes and leave the guy already? Taehyung wondered what jungkook had poisoned Jimin with this time. What documents was he even talking about? Tae knew something was up, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
****
Jimin sat on the bed not knowing what to do. From the way Tae spoke, he didn't know what he was talking about. Or he worked so hard to make him believe it and Jimin was sure if Taehyung was pretending, he succeeded. 'i know Taehyung...maybe he changed but not much. Not to that extent' Jimin thought. He believed Taehyung was not the type to go as low. Jimin glanced at the large painting of jungkook on the wall. He narrowed his eyes and sneered. "And I know you too well."
Jimin moved to the wardrobe and picked out some outfit. He threw them on the bed and moved to the bathroom as he murmured.
"You wanted me to believe your rubbish and do your dirty work, I will stop you, if I can't....I will atleast let Taehyung do it."
