"Once a Fuckboy always a Fuckboy"

☸

Jungkook was busy going through the files hurriedly as it was the day when an important presentation will be held which will be deciding the future of the Jeons. He was afraid for a reason, though he is the CEO of the company but Mr. Jeon would blame him for everything so things needs to be perfect.

He had no calm from the morning. He was standing from the time he entered his cabin, he made sure to check all the things which were needed for the meeting. He was stressed and restless with the fact that a new employee is responsible for presentation and not Eun Ae.

He stood with his back facing the cabin's entrance taking a quick glance at the figures and statistics.

He felt a light tap on his shoulder and he smiled thinking that it must be Eun Ae.

"Yah don't you have any work? Just go in your cabin" he scolded but playfully.

"Were you expecting me Jungkook?"

He flinched due to the voice which wasn't Eun Ae's, he turned to see Erin standing behind him.

"Erin.. what are you doing here?" he gulped and walked towards his seat.

"Nothing i was here to tell you that we are late for the meeting so hurry up. But from the way you flinched, i think you were expecting someone else" she pouted thinking how Jungkook has changed these days.

"Erin… i was expecting no one okay" he clarified.

"Liar… you were expecting someone…! is that Rosy? or that blonde girl or.." she thought for a second, "…is that Eun Ae?" she smirked as she saw how Jungkook's expressions changed hearing Eun Ae's name.

"Oh i am right then…its Eun Ae… ommo… is the fuckboy in love?" Erin exclaimed dramatically, Jungkook on the other hand wasn't pleased with the fact that he was excited just by hearing her name also he was hurt somewhere after hearing the word 'Fuckboy'. He was surprised himself because it wasn't the first time that someone is calling him 'a fuckboy' but today it felt typically rOOd.

"Yah… what are you saying?" he ignored her stare and dug his face in the files again to distract himself.

"Admit it Jungkook you love her"

He choked at the word 'Love'.

"What? Erin are you out of your mind?" he snarled at the girl but the girl did not even budge instead she pushed aside all the stuff from his table, making space for herself and she sat on it with her legs crossed. The dress she was wearing hiked upwards showing her thighs as it was a short one which would just stopped above her knees. Jungkook was frozen seeing the scenario.

"I am stating facts Jungkook… you love her" she pressed her words and he rolled his eyes.

"I don't love her…" he struggled for words, his eyes carelessly roamed around the cabin probably trying to make out a way from this situation, "..y..yes you can say, i..i like her… because she is a nice girl, she is indeed…!!" he let out a half smile as he convinced himself.

"Jungkook…whom are you trying to fool? You know you love her…" Erin spat before leaning towards him, her cleavage popping out of the deep V neckline dress. She purposely made the move to annoy him more. Erin noticed Jungkook gulping harder just by the way his adam's apple bobbed painfully slow. She smirked and placed her hand on his thighs almost dangerously close to his 'area'. Jungkook gasped and hurriedly pushed her hand away before getting up from his seat. He stood at a distance from her. Erin noticed the change in his behaviour, if he was the same old Jungkook then he would have ripped off her dress and would have fucked her senseless for teasing him but instead he was gasping and shivering against her touch.

"Jungkook… you are changing.. and this is the first sign of love" she said but then regretted what she just spat when Jungkook walked towards her and forcefully pressed his lips on hers. He sucked her lips making her squirm. Her words got muffled in the kiss. He caged her in his arms, her both hands pinned behind her back as he assaulted her lips strongly, biting and nibbling it.

Erin on the other hand wanted to feel him and touch him like always but she saw how aggressively Jungkook attacked her not giving her any space. She tried her best pulling herself away from him and mentally cursed herself for provoking the beast which was resting inside him peacefully.

He broke the kiss and released her, standing away from her, he wiped off the coral colour lipstick from his lips as he did not wanted any evidence.

"Look i am still the same…" he flipped his hairs in an evil way. Erin positioned herself properly, adjusting her own dress and makeup.

"So, was that for proving yourself?" she asked, she was angry on him but at the same time she was hurt because he was trying to hide the thing instead of accepting​ the fact.

"Yeah..i am still a fuckboy…! Once a fuckboy always a fuckboy…" he pulled his collar proudly and made his way towards his seat, he signaled her to get off from the table.

"Now please leave i need to work" he ordered her and she nodded. Erin walked towards the door but then he stopped her.

"Don't wear such distracting clothes in the office or else i might do you on the table or even outside the office" he nonchalantly spoke and dipped his head in the files.

Erin just hummed in response and walked away after taking a brief look at him. She gripped the knob of his cabin and stood there gazing the name plate on which Jungkook's name was embossed.

"Pabo… he don't even remember that the dress which i am wearing was given by him and he was the one who told me to wear it in the office because he gets horny after seeing me wearing this...! And fuckboy he says.." She muttered looking at the nameplate and walked away.

Jungkook placed his face on his palms and sighed.

"I like Eun Ae as a person.. okay…nothing more nothing less." he mumbled under breathe.

~~~

"Are you ready?? Have you taken all the files and the copy of presentation?" Jungkook asked the new employee as they made their way towards the elevator. The girl nodded nervously.

Jungkook pressed the button of the elevator and entered when the door opened. He tapped his feet nervously, he smiled when the incident of his first presentation along with Eun Ae flashed infront of his eyes. The way she was fiddling her fingers during presentation and was sweating came into picture. The elevator dinged and the door opened.

He walked outside but soon a wide smile was placed on his lips as he saw Eun Ae standing at the reception talking with a girl. She was looking elegant and graceful in that white satin shirt and black pencil skirt. She was taking more interest in her dressing style now a days and what made him more happy that she wasn't the type of woman who would flash their curves and assets to the people.

Jungkook was unaware of the fact that he was already checking her out and he landed into reality when Eun Ae suddenly turned and her eyes landed on him. He avoided the eye contact and looked everywhere apart from her.

"Jungkook" he managed to make his way towards the source.

No matter how much he avoids her still she crosses his mind. Their eyes interlocked and they couldn't help but blush in each others presences.

The girl from earlier walked aside after greeting Eun Ae, giving all the privacy to the so called 'couple' rather the most loved couple of the company.

"Hmph?" Jungkook asked, his eyes gazing all her features, he was happy that now there wasn't any glass barrier which would prevent him from looking at her eyes directly. Thanks to the inventor of contact lenses.

"Actually i will be meeting Hoseok oppa today"

"Oh..why so? Is your eomma alright?" his tone showed concern and she couldn't stopped herself from smiling, seeing how he showed concern for her mother.

"Ani..i am going to ask him about his relationship with unnie"

"But why? that is not needed"

"It is needed Jungkook. We need to know everything!" Jungkook gave up and nodded.

"Fine go ahead. When are you going then?"

"Today after office"

"Come home safely okay? Or should i pick you?"

"No its fine. Oppa will drop me" she said with a smile and he nodded in response.

Jungkook casually looked around and spotted Erin looking at him with an evil smile, judging him. Jungkook cleared his throat and averted his eyes at Eun Ae. It reminded him about his real self.

"That's good! i wasn't really interested to pick you up either" he let out a half smile. Eun Ae was taken aback due to his sudden change in attitude as she felt that the half smile was more of 'i-don't-give-a-fuck' type. Her face instantly sulked. She bit her inner cheeks and tried gulping the lump formed in her throat.

"Oh…" was the only thing she was able to say. Eun Ae saw him tapping his foot as a clear sign of 'not interested'.

"Fine so you have meeting right? All the best" her tone was low as if she said that just for a sake of formality, her eyes lacked the spark.

"That wasn't needed but thanks anyway…!!" Jungkook rolled his eyes at her and walked away without saying 'Good Bye'.

Eun Ae stood there frozen, her feelings entangled, mind lashing her for being so genuine and nice. It wasn't her fault either, he was just a fuckboy and she needs to go with that. Either way around they don't have any future together.

They are just like the two banks of a river which never meets…

~~~

"I want to talk to you oppa" she gazed at the man who was busy washing the dishes while he was avoiding her from the time she came.

"What?" he raised his head to look at her and then he continued his task. Eun Ae was bored because from the time she entered the house he was not giving her any work. He even told her to sit aside and not to bother him.

"Oppa i want to know something" his eyes sparkled seeing how serious she was.

"Okay let's just sit in the hall" he placed the last dish in the stand and walked outside and she followed him.

"Oppa actually you remember i called you last time?"

"Okay…ahh..i.. i was with my friend" Hoseok thought for a second and then said.

"Oppa is that friend a girl..?" she paused as her eyes mapped his expressions, "….most importantly was that a girl whose name was Rhea?" she pressed her name and saw Hoseok's face blanching. He smiled nervously and then looked at her.

"What are y..you saying…haha… Eun Ae are you drun...nk.?" Hoseok chuckled and avoided her stare as he was caught red handed.

"Oppa we are family can you please just admit the thing" she patted his shoulder and rested her head on it.

"Admit what?" He stuttered.

"That you like unnie" she raised her head and saw him looking away.

"Fine, so oppa no answer is 'yes' okay…!"

"Yah don't you think this is too much?" he scolded her and she laughed at his reaction, like always Hoseok can't even be mad at her nor scold her.

"Tell me tell me…" she cooed.

"Okay okay… me and Rhea are dating" he accepted and she clapped in response.

"Omg oppa…. You both are so cute together…i am so happy… wow… oppa Rhea unnie is so-" she was cut off by him who covered her mouth as she was overwhelmed with the feels.

"Wait don't tell anyone yet okay. We will be the one telling them" Hoseok warned the younger and she gulped seeing how the elder was glaring at her.

Hoseok slowly released her and she giggled in response.

"I am happy oppa.. can you tell me when did you guys actually…ahh..you know…i mean-"

She was cutoff, "You mean to say hooked up?" Hoseok's eyebrows were joined forming a bridge as he positioned his eyes on the girl.

"Yes exactly!"

"Well when we met Mr. Jeon for the first time at their residence at that time we had a formal chat but then she would call or text me regarding marriage and arrangements and we would meet at some cafe for lunch but then after your marriage we stopped meeting and texting each other. But then we both started feeling so lonely all of a sudden and that was the time when we realised that we actually have something for each other. Then i asked her out and she said yes." Hoseok blushed as soon as he completed.

"Ommo oppa...you are blushing..you are really in love…" she tried pinching his cheeks but then the older backed off on which she pouted.

"Don't tell anyone okay? We will be telling them soon"

"But when oppa?

Hoseok thought for a second and then smiled, "I guess Jin hyung's party is a great occasion right? I think we should tell them at that time"

Eun Ae agreed to his plan and they both shared a side hug. Eun Ae was happy for her brother. She saw him smiling till his heart content, she did not even remember when did he last smiled so brightly for himself? Probably when he got a job? No, he wasn't happy for himself that time, he was happy because he was now able to spend money on their mother's hospital bills.

"Oppa what about Mr. Jeon?" a new question haunted her mind and she quickly asked. She knew there is a huge standard difference between Rhea and Hoseok and she was worried what if Mr.Jeon isn't interested to accept Hoseok as his son in law? She married Jungkook but that was another thing, here it is about Rhea who is in spot light, the daughter of the most wealthiest businessman​ marrying off a common man, will society and more than that will Mr.Jeon accept it?

"You know what? I proposed her on new year's eve and she accepted it. We have talked with Mr.Jeon already and he has no problem with it"

"What? So your line is clear? He accepted?" she was shocked, she never thought that her brother can be that fast on the other hand she was happy because Mr.Jeon has accepted him. All make sense now she thought. Rhea and Hoseok coming together during the new year's eve and the new name 'Hobi' given by Rhea. She sighed, she never thought this will ever happen, she also cursed herself for not finding out about this earlier.

"Good…so oppa which day you had planned to tell me about this? A day before your marriage?" She retorted and Hoseok for a second felt guilty for not telling her sooner.

He patted her head and hugged her tightly, "I am sorry… okay… i am sorry..this all went too fast that i wasn't able to process the things. I was confused and worried myself. I am sorry" he kissed her head and she giggled in his chest.

"Its fine.. oppa don't hide anything from now onwards"

She heard him hummed in response, "You also Eun Ae"

She blinked in his chest as she heard that. For a moment she thought she misheard him, "What oppa? I never hide anything"

"You did hide something from me Eun Ae."

She broke the hug and looked straight at him. She was puzzled.

"What are you talking about oppa?" her eyebrows knitted and she concentrated on his lips for his further response.

"You never told me about Jungkook's past…" he looked away and then at her.

"Eun Ae… you never told me that he was a playboy…"
