Once the busy streets loaded with tonnes of vehicles were no where in the sight, the ravenette sighed anticipating the destination not too far...

After half an hour of silent drive, the car stopped abruptly in front of a worn out building in the middle of dark forest.

The door opened revealing a highly built figure,cladded in all black,face gracefully covered by black clothing,as he took out sunglasses from the pocket of his pitch black long jacket and covered the left part of his face_ in short,totally disguised!

Silence was replaced by chirping sound of dead brown leaves on the ground as the said male stepped on them & headed into the building.

The front door was open,covered with dust and green creepers_just like an rusted artwork.

After several turns as like a maze, the long haunting hallway ended right in front of a big iron bar,that resembled a door. Footsteps came to hault and the sound of leather shoes tapping the wooden floor was no more resonating in the air.

In mere two seconds,the door slides against the drooping wall and ravenett stepped inside.

A whole new world.

Large & luxurious hall, dark-themed yet attractive walls,strange artworks decorating the hall,table and an armchair setup in the far centre,

a set of five huge grey couch at a few step distance from the table,

totally blessed with modern gizmos_all in all a teaser representing modernization & technology!

A whole different world compared to the dark forest outside.

"Welcome young man! I appreciate your efforts to reach me out during your busy schedule."

A middle-aged man ,probably in his forties,entered the hall through one of the doors that opened into main hall, god knows where from!

The man took seat on the leather coated armchair while ravenette stood in front of the table,glaring at the globe that kept spinning at the glass table.

"Tell me what you want, I dont have time to waste on a pice of trash like you."

Ravenett spoke through the piece of clothing,voice screaming dark aura.

A disgusting chuckle left his mouth that only added a pile of anger to younger's mind,his fists curling up and knuckles turning white due to ceased blood flow.

"Calm down man! Your blood is boiling too fast,let me help you with a shot of wine,"

"Just fvcking get the point Darco!

Or I'm leaving this hell right-"

"Give me back what belongs to me,young man! Don't make me wait for too long."

And with this,he left the hall through the same door,leaving the younger male in a state of confusion and rage.

Taehyung and jin were sitting in the waiting lounge,at the hospital for tae's follow-up session.

After what seemed like years, taehyung's name was announced and they both headed to the cabin.

A modest yet welcoming personality,fair complexion, charms that are too good for a doctor_ name carved in golden calligraphy over a glass panel...

"Good morning taehyung,"a heart warming smile welcomed them into the cabin.

"Good morning doctor,"tae replied with a boxy smile.

"How is everything Dr.Kim? It's been a long time."

"Pretty good doctor, we've been busy with taehyung these days. This brat is hard to control,you know,"and he smacked him over the head,while doctor smiled whole heartedly at the cute bond between them.

"Come here taehyung.

let's check the fracture first,"and the whole session took about half an hour.

Results were quite satisfactory and healing was fast.

"It seems like you'll be able to walk in next ten days_if recovery goes on this same rate."

Taehyung squealed in happiness, finally he was getting rid of that tiring wheelchair!

"Thank you doctor, we'll visit you in next ten days,"jin said and they both stepped out of the cabin in satisfaction after biding goodbye to the doctor.

"Joon,tell your so-called Jeon CEO that taehyung will be joining his work within fifteen days, no need to find another intern,"jin stated at the dining table,mocking the young CEO.

"Wow...That's great tae! Congratulations, I'll inform jungkook at the earliest."

Joon replied and started to type something on his phone.

After few minutes, taehyung broke the comfortable silence at the table,

"Namjoon hyung,I really loved the bouquet you left for me at the hospital, specially that greeting card...It was so thoughtful of you!"

"Umm...I couldn't bring you such things taehyung,I was quite busy that time. I don't know what you are talking about!"

Taehyung whipped his head to jin who was already thinking about the same thing,

"Then who was it? I thought you were the one who brought it,"jin exclaimed while looking at namjoon.

"Ahh.It must be Bogumsii then, he couldn't visit me personally so maybe he sent it at hospital.

It was so thoughtful of him," taehyung concluded and once again they got busy with their meal.

The dinner went well and everyone headed to their room.

Hobi couldn't visit taehyung as he was busy with the pending appointments all day long.

Taehyung played with tannie before going to bed,with light and excited heart.

________________

Jungkook was sitting on his chair, as usual working overtime to complete his work perfectly on time.It was around eight in the evening when a notification popped up on his phone screen_a message notification.

He picked his phone up after putting pen on the table.

Hey,you remember that intern_Kim Taehyung?

He'll be joining the work within 15 days, that means within your deadline. So don't bother yourself to look for another one!

That's good then,

See you_bye.

He thought for a while staring at his screen and got back to his work in no time.

______________

The next morning came with a warm breeze drifting through the lawn and making it's way into taehyung's room.

A

warm welcome by the winter morning.....Seems like a perfect start of the day!

Taehyung woke up after taking good minutes to appreciate the weather through his glass window,and headed for his morning routine.

Jin was already setting up the breakfast table,not in dining room,but in the middle of the lawn.

Taehyung after getting ready,moved his chair through the hallway, unable to hear the morning routine warnings by jin hyung to make everyone rush towards the table.

S

ome voices captured his attention,as he turned to chase them_eventually ending up in front of the lawn.

His jaw just dropped to hit the floor.The view was beautiful, perfectly beautiful!

Why hadn't he seen the backyard before?

What he saw next was enough to knock out the air out of his lungs..He couldn't breath for few good moments at what his eyes witnessed...

The same young CEO_with a heartful smile!!!!

He must be dreaming ,right?

.

.

.

Nooooo,it was real~

That time taehyung realised that person in front of him has a heart too. The cold and distant image slightly faltering from his mind.

He finally managed to blink when a giggling voice reached his ears,probably from his best friend.

A bit far from the table,he saw another heart warming site,

A man_ well known as a business tycoon_ was having fun looking at his husband,teasing the pout that automatically appears when he's too focused on plating his dish!

Well,this is what we call a family.

A safe place to hide when you are unsure, a shoulder you can lean on in your difficult times, the sail that saves your life in stormy sea of ups and downs~

Forgetting the cruel and harsh world outside,everyone there was living in the very moment, part of life where you are being your true self, surrounded by your loved ones and enjoying to their heart's content!!

"Taehyungaaaah~"

He was brought out of trance by jin calling his name and the air went silent as everyone turned to his direction.

Jungkook was a bit tensed up as he saw his intern,realising that once again he was caught off guard_this time with his soft side that he kept hidden from the world,only for his close ones.

"Ah...h-hyung, I-"

"Let me tell you before you ask, jimin and yoongi are leaving tonight for their tour, probably for three months.They wanted to meet you once before the tour,so we invited them to have a day with us. Hobi was on the way & we decided not to leave jungkook as outcast...So, yeah_thats it!"

"Oh..That's g-good!"

"I think everyone is here,let's have breakfast then?!"joon said while scanning the lawn.

"Yeah,sure."

and jin headed to the table first, followed by everyone else.

They ate breakfast in peace,enjoying the comforting breeze of winter morning_a rare moment to witness!

They were currently chatting about craziest topics that literally make no sense.It was their way of making time fun and memorable.

Jungkook although was a little self-conscious around his intern yet he managed to use the time for himself, as jungkook, rather than CEO Jeon Jungkook.

Deep inside,he was not bothered by the presence of younger around him,it kind of___ feels natural,as he's been with him for a long time!

He barely noticed that taehyung is the first person who inveded his personal space yet it was not at all awkward.....It felt warm_maybe complete as well!

After few minutes,he left his chair and walked some steps away probably to take his call.

In mere seconds,he turned around and made his way to the black Mercedes after whispering something to joon, at which he just nodded.

Soon, namjoon too left the place, most expectedly for his work, despite of the fact that it was a weekend___running a business empire sure is incredibly difficult.

During the whole time, taehyung kept wandering about some questions that never left his mind. He was in search of a chance and ,as if on cue,he found yoongi sitting by a bench doing some work on his phone screen.

Jin and jimin were busy cleaning up the mess while hobi was playing with tannie.

He quickly grabbed the chance and took his chair next to yoongi.

"Hey, how are you feeling now?" Yoongi asked as he spotted the younger coming to him.

"Perfect! Guess what hyung? I'm gonna join my work in few days. I'm so happy!"he replied in excitement, with boxy smile full on display.

"Hmm..I heard that from jimin yesterday. It's good for you!"

"Hyung....."

"Hmm?"yoongi looked upto him, slightly confused at sudden change of his mood from exciting to a quite serious one.

"Can I ask you something?

Will you keep it a secret?"

"Okay,sure tae. Go aheah_"

"About jungkooksii.

why does he pretend to be cold and distant when actually he too has a warm side of him?

I mean_no one would believe that the Jeon Jungkook in the office and the one I saw today are same person."

There was a period of silence before yoongi left a deep sigh,averted his gaze to the green grass decorating the floor, when he finally spoke,

"Why do you believe that he just to be cold and distant?"

"Hyung,he is just two years older than me,yet he seems so much mature and powerful in terms of his thoughts and decisions.

He has his own side,his true self, which is getting lost day by day under the mask of a successful business tycoon.

I believe it must be hard for him to cope up with this businessworld, he may also want to enjoy each second of his life,with his family loved ones.

After all sacrificing our own happiness just to deal with the bunch of crazy people on this planet.....It's not called living,this is just counting your breaths till the last one knocks you down!

How can a person control his will to live his life so easily??

I think I somehow know what he's endearing through all this time."

Yoongi kept staring at him until taehyung tapped his shoulder to bring him out of his whorl of imagination.

"You've grown so much tae! I'm glad to know your thoughts. Your parents must be feeling proud on yourself."

Taehyung just smiled at the comment,still curious about jungkook's side.

"About jungkook, we have been friends since high school,

although I was in a grade higher than his.

He was an introvert since that time,being well aware of the huge responsibility which he will be taking in,right after graduation.

As much as he wanted to live life like a common high schooler,his training sessions and even just the thoughts of being at that position_ to put it simply_ thoughts of keeping your empire safe from foreign attacks and need to win each &every war that comes his way_ kept haunting him.

The place where he stands today,requires him to be brave enough to hide his feelings and act cold, otherwise the beasts out there will make no time to attack you and take down everything you have."

"It's not fair! It's like stealing your life from your own self.

How one is supposed to live though!"

"You see the living legend is jungkook himself!"yoongi replied with a faint smile and caressed his hair softly before moving towards love of his life, chimmy.

Taehyung went deep in thoughts, lost in his world,at the stupid rules of people on this earth.

He was growing fond of the elder, of his goods and bads,his true self and fake image,all in all_his life....

Why?

Well,he didn't bother to answer that question.

He was totally carried away by the swifting waves of deep thoughts,unable to notice the feelings that are piling up whenever he gets a step closer to a particular person!
