The CEO's Contract Husband [Taekook]
accident~
Jungkook lived a life many people dreamed of.
He was a powerful CEO~ rich enough to buy anything he wanted. But if you looked closely~ you would see he wasn't happy.
His heart had been broken once~ and after that~ he built a tall~ cold wall around it.
He decided love was not for him.
His family was very caring~ but they were always pushing him to get married.
They didn't understand that he had zero interest in it.
And His older brother~ Namjoon~ was already happily married to his husband~ Seokjin~ and lived in the USA.
His cousin~ Yoongi~ was also settled. jungkook was the only one left~ and his family wouldn't stop reminding him.
The only person close to him was his secretary~ J-Hope.
J-Hope was more than a secretary;
He was a jungkook only friend. He was the cheerful one who balanced JUNGKOOK serious nature.
jk lived alone in a big~ luxurious house.
His life was a routine of work~ work~ and more work.
He was strict~ boring~ and often cold to people~ but he thought that was just how life was supposed to be.
Today wasn't different. jungkook had a very important meeting~ and he was running a little late.
He hated being late. For him~ being on time was everything.
He sat in the back of his expensive car~ feeling nervous.
He told his driver~ his voice sharp.
The driver~ who was secretly a little scared of his boss~ increased the speed.
He didn't want to lose his job.
As they turned a corner~ a young man~ probably in his twenties~ was crossing the road in hurry.
The car hit him before the driver could stop completely.
The boy cried out~ falling onto the road.
He wasn't badly hurt~ but he was clearly in pain.
The driver's face turned pale.
Driver
I'm so sorry~ sir! I'm so sorry!
He said~ getting ready to get out and help.
But jungkook 's reaction was cold.
Jungkook
❄️ We don't have time for this~
He said~ not a single trace of worry in his eyes.
Jungkook
❄️ Just give him some money and let's go.
The driver felt terrible~ but he did as he was told.
He got out and offered a handful of cash to the young man.
Driver
Please~ take this for your trouble. I am very sorry.
The boy on the ground looked up.
His eyes were wide~ not with greed~ but with surprise. He shook his head.
Unknown
No~ it's okay. I don't want your money~
He said softly. He stood up~ brushed the dust off his clothes~ and simply walked away~ limping slightly.
The driver felt even worse~ but his fear of jungkook was stronger.
He got back in the car and they drove off quickly.
They arrived at the meeting right on time.
Inside the large conference room~ jungkook was a different person—completely professional and ice-cold. He pushed all
Thoughts of the accident out of his mind. For him~ it was just a small disturbance.
He looked at the people around the table~ his expression was unreadable.
Jungkook
❄️ Let's begin the meeting~
He said~ his voice firm and emotionless. The business day has started.......(｡◕‿◕｡)➜
Author
How is it~?? (´⊙ω⊙`)
embarrassed~
The rest of jungkook's business meetings went smoothly.
He was in his element—sharp~ focused and in control.
He discussed numbers and strategies and everyone listened.
This was the world he understood.
The final meeting of the day was with a company called "𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬." Their representative was a woman named Miss Kayung.
From the moment she walked in~ jungkook felt uneasy.
The meeting began~ but Miss Kayung wasn't paying attention to the presentation.
Instead~ her eyes were fixed on jungkook.
Her gaze was soft and admiring~ but to him~ it felt like an annoying distraction.
She smiled at him in a way that had nothing to do with business.
Jungkook tried to ignore it at first. He continued talking about profit margins and market expansion.
But Miss Kayung kept staring~ her intentions becoming clearer and clearer.
She was not interested in the deal; she was interested in him.
A familiar irritation bubbled up inside jungkook.
He hated when people mixed personal feelings with professional work.
It was messy and unprofessional.
Suddenly~ in the middle of a sentence~ he stopped.
He turned his cold gaze directly at Miss Kayung.
His voice was firm and cut through the silence.
Jungkook
❄️ This is a business meeting. I would appreciate it if you would focus on the presentation and not on me.
The air in the room froze.
Miss Kayung's face turned a deep red.
She looked down at her papers~ completely embarrassed.
The other people in the room shifted uncomfortably in their chairs.
Without another word~ jungkook stood up.
Jungkook
❄️ We will continue this meeting another time~ when everyone is prepared to be professional.
He walked out of the room~ leaving a stunned silence behind him.
Another day~ another deal potentially ruined by someone who couldn't separate business from pleasure.
It only confirmed his belief that emotions had no place in his life.
Struggling~
Somewhere across the city~ far from the glass and steel of jungkook's world~ was a small flower shop.
It was a cozy place~ filled with the sweet smell of blossoms~
But its owner~ a young man named Kim Taehyung~ had no peace to enjoy it..
He was sitting on a small stool~ carefully counting the money from the day's sales.
His handsome beautiful face~ usually bright~ was clouded with worry.
He counted the notes once~ then twice~ hoping he was wrong.
But the total was always the same. It was not enough.
Not nearly enough for his mother's next hospital payment.
Taehyung
Just a little more time~
He whispered to himself~ his shoulders slumping.
The doctors said his mother could beat her blood cancer.
The treatment was working~ but the most critical part—the surgery—was still ahead.
It was a mountain of a bill and Taehyung was climbing it with bare hands.
The cheerful bell on the shop door jingled~ but the sound was no longer cheerful.
Taehyung's blood ran cold.
He quickly hid the small stack of money under a flowerpot and stood up~ his hands trembling.
The leader~ a loan shark with a cold smile~ looked around the shop as if he already owned it.
Unknown
Oh~ come on~ Taehyung~
He said~ his voice slick and dangerous.
Unknown
We told you to agree to our boss's condition. He'll pay you so well. All your debts... gone.
Taehyung shook his head~ his voice firm even though his body was shaking.
Taehyung
No. I would never... I told you~ I'll pay you back. I just need more time~ please.
The loan shark stepped closer and patted Taehyung's cheek~ a gesture that was anything but kind.
Unknown
Our boss will pay you double. It's just one night. Not a big deal. Sleep with him and get rid of all your debts. It's an easy choice...🤝🏻😉
Taehyung met his gaze~ a fire of defiance in his eyes.
He repeated~ his voice low and solid.
The man smirked~ seeing his resolve.
Unknown
Your choice. Don't say we didn't help you..乁 ˘ o ˘ ㄏ
With that~ he and his men left~ the doorbell ringing mockingly behind them.
The moment they were gone~ the strength left Taehyung's legs.
He fell to his knees among the colorful flowers~ a sob catching in his throat.
Taehyung
Why~ God~?? Why is it so hard to live~?? Why is money everything~??
He cried out to the empty shop.
Alone~ he finally tended to the bruise on his arm—the one he got that morning when a luxury car had hit him.
He had refused the driver's money out of pride. Now~ that pride felt like a heavy~ stupid burden.
He pulled out a single piece of dry bread for his dinner.
As he ate~ hot tears slipped down his cheeks~ mixing with the taste of the plain food.
He thought of his mother~ her kind smile~ and the life-saving surgery she needed.
He thought of the loan sharks and their horrible offer.
He was trapped~ with no way out in sight.
The beautiful flowers around him seemed to mock his despair.
