Days were passing smoothly,and taehyung started preparing for his comeback at Jeons' place.

He went through all the recent events of their company and worked on almost every detail he was missing during the rest period.

He was currently sitting in the lawn,with a laptop placed at his lap and left hand holding strawberry milkshake,while right hand was busy typing and searching for the topics of his interest.

He was so immersed in his work that he couldn't notice the footsteps heading towards him.

......A tap on his shoulder and he flinched_well, practically jumped_ on that chair.

He turned around with an angry glare,which typically looks cute on his face, ready to yell at jin/hobi hyung. But the anger faltered in a second as he saw the culprit behind him....

"Jisoo? H-hi......"

"Uh_hi taehyungsii. Sorry, I didn't want to scare you. You were a bit more focused on your work..."

"Nah,it's OK! Have a seat,"he gestured towards the armchair nearby and she took seat.

"How are you doing? I heard you're rejoining soon!"

"Yeah, I'm doing pretty good,just some time and I'll be perfectly fine,"he smiled in excitement at the thought of comeback to his dream work place.

"That's nice! Actually.... I came to ask for your help,if you have time...."she stated,unsure about the reply from taehyung.

"Sure,go ahead please."

"I've heard a lot about your work at our company and everyone appreciates your way of working. I actually wanna learn some of your style,"she took a file out of her bag and handed it to him.

"This is my assignment for weekend,which is quite related to your field of work. I would love it, if you can guide me a little."

He smiled while going through the file,probably reminiscing his memories from high school.

"I would love to help you with all of it, if you don't mind. Anyways I'm getting bored by myself all day long..."he replied,causing jisoo to squeal in happiness.

Before they could start with the work, taehyung paused for a second and asked jisoo the question_that was troubling him now,

"Umm...Can I ask you something jisoo?"

"Please feel comfortable,"she replied sincerely.

"You could've learned way much better from your brother. He sure is a genius mind! Why did you prefer me then?"he asked innocently,careful enough to not sound rude.

She was taken aback at the sudden least expected question at the moment but nevertheless answered honestly,

"To be honest, he is busy with his own work all time. It feels really bad to disturb him whenever he gets time for himself,that is quite rare.

He often works late night at his office. You may have an idea about his schedule now,"she chuckles humourlessly, feeling bad for his precious brother.

"But I can't blame him though,his lifestyle truly sucks! I donno how he copes with all that,"she exclaims bitterly,the feeling of missing those good moments with her brother laced all over the face.

Taehyung is surprised at the honest answer by her but at the same time feels unknown tug at his heart by recalling a sentence again & again,

'His lifestyle truly sucks!'

.

.

Soon,they start with the assignment and get fully immersed in it. Taehyung feels proud of his teaching skills for the first time as jisoo was able to get almost everything that he would explain.

Deep into their discussion,they couldn't notice jin walking towards them,unless he clears his throat to draw their attention,

"Hey,it's time for dinner guys. Come on jisoo join us today, it'll be fun!"he asked with a wide grin on his handsome face.

It felt impossible for her to deny such exciting offer and she nodded eagerly.

They quickly wrapped up their work and headed for dinner.

They were in the middle of it,when jisoo noticed her phone vibrating with caller ID popping up on the screen.

.

.

.

"I'm at jin oppa's place right now.

Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

.

.

.

"Okay, I'll wait for you then."and the call was hung up.

"Jungkook is too much protective for his lil sister, I guess."

said jin while passing the side dishes to her.

"Hmm...He never let's me drive after five,as the street here get flooded after that time, everyone in a rush to get home!"she says non-chalantly, but secretly admiring her brother for his care.

They continued with the meal and decided to have some more discussion over the assignment ,while waiting for jungkook.

Jin got busy with his chores in the kitchen and left for his room.

Time passed so fast and they were in no mood to stop their question-answer session any soon.

A figure entered through the main hall making his way up to living room,where the never ending discussion was going on.

The said male was bit surprised at the sight but decided to observe the situation_well, a particular being_ for a little more time.

He leaned across the door,arms crossed comfortably at his chest,head resting over the wooden frame of door, with no intention of blinking at least for once.

The only thing that his gaze found interesting was,

'Kim Taehyung'

"Oppa?!"jisoo noticed him standing at the door and he was snapped out of the world of imagination.

Jungkook,as expected, was quick enough to overcome the situation and stepped towards the couch where both were sitting,

"I guess you learned quite a lot today, jisoo."he asked looking at her, trying to ignore the urge to stare at younger for more time.

"Yeah, I'm more than satisfied with my work today. I definitely want to learn more from him."she said while looking at her brother with an adorable smile.

"Sure, I can drop you next time. Just make sure to inform me, I was quite worried today that you weren't home by usual time."

"Okay,"she said while looking for her bag.

"Just a minute, I'll bring my bag and then we can leave,"and she sprinted out of the living room,totally unaware of state that she left taehyung in.

The air around both was getting thicker with passing seconds,and taehyung decided to break the uncomfortable silence,

"G-good evening jungkooksii..."finally he mustered all of his courage,being aware of a constant gaze upon himself.

"Good evening taehyung"

This simple greeting definitely made taehyung's heart to skip a beat. He was left with no power to utter a single word....

'For God's sake,he is your CEO Kim Taehyung! When did your thoughts became so wild that you are sweating in a chill weather....Are you serious??'

He started scolding himself,unable to get hold of the situation.

Jungkook?

He was literally enjoying the view.

He sure was full aware of the effect on younger's mind by this time. It was not anything new ,yet there was something totally different.

Despite of being the only two in that room, taehyung couldn't even dare to look at him directly, unlike other employees who would be in the midst of flirting by this second!

I mean,who will miss the chance to get over a young,wealthy and crazily hot CEO!

This definitely caught jungkook's attention.

To be honest,it hurts his pride!

He thought of an evil idea to make the current situation more interesting,and he did it..

.

.

.

"You sure know tha tact to pull off in every outfit and look amazingly perfect each time, taehyung,"a deep yet smooth voice perfectly matching his exterior_filled the thick air around them.

Honestly this was not a good comment at such time.

Taehyung was more than just surprised at the comment that left jungkook's mouth, as his eyes grew wider & wider,at the verge of tearing up.

Big deo eyes, glasses hanging at the later nose,cheeks shifting from pale to pink & eyebrows fully arched while processing the mess going on in his mind.....

What else to expect when Jeon Jungkook took off his jacket just seconds before the compliment,that gave younger the better view of his well built abs_may it be covered under thin piece of cloth.

It's freaking illegal!

"T-thanks for the c-compliment," he finally uttered with his broken words, panic clearly decorated on his innocent and blushing face.

A small,yet a smile made its way to elder's face.

This time,it was on full display, as it remarked the victory for him after witnessing the effect spelled over taehyung from a simple compliment.

His pride didn't falter after all, that's what matters him the most.

Soon jisoo left with jungkook,and taehyung was practically on cloud nine!

It maybe one of the tricks of his CEO to maintain a hot guy image,yet it meant so much for taehyung......

It's not like jungkook holds any special role in taehyung's life,is it??

Still......It made taehyung's stomach to churn up in excitement.

' it's so obvious kim taehyung,if a deadly handsome guy will comment your style,what else do you expect from your pervert mind?!

It's nothing else,don't dream the fantasies by yourself!' taehyung thought to himself.

________________

Jungkook was busy with a huge pile of documents messed all around his desk,hands hastily typing over the keyboard,dense silky hairs perfectly combed back with the forehead on display_the traces of his long fingers still evident in the hairs and ' I'm so done with this shit' look plastered over his face......All due to non-stop work since last four hours.

He searched for the coffee mug desperately,only to find it empty between the heap of papers... that definitely was his limit of patience!

Few seconds later,as expected, it was a blast of frustration as he couldn't find a project file at his desk.

He banged the desk aggressively and dialed a number on his phone,

.

.

.

.

and the phone was hunged up.

Jungkook leaned across his chair, trying to calm down his nerves,when he heard a faint knock on the door.

"Come in,"a low groan filled the surrounding.

~Wrong timing dear!

"Hi jungkook! What a mess you're working on!"she greeted him ,more like a comment that was no help to calm his nerves.

"If you have anything to say,just do that and leave! I'm in no mood for any talks right now,"he said while getting up from the seat and heading towards the coffee machine placed at a corner table in his office.

"Umm...It seems like we can't hang out today,it's okay!

Let me help you with this,"she said while grabbing the handle of coffee machine,fingers brushing against jungkook's hand during the process, and he retracted the hand rather harshly.

"I can do it myself,just leave."

"Jungkook, we're supposed to get married soon, what's-"

"_Get out of here before I start to drag you out by myself, I'm telling you !"

She couldn't spell a single word as another knock was heard,

'come in,'and bogum entered with a file in his hands, slightly panting due to a jog made up to CEO's office.

Ji eun took her bag and left the office in another second,closing the door behind with a loud thud.

'Just three more days and taehyung will be back, I have to manage a little more' jungkook mumbled under his breath and went back to work.

______________

Taehyung was having dinner with namjin couple,talking___wait, fighting about what suits more with pancakes- strawberry shake or honey!

"Is everything ok joon? You don't seem fine,"jin asked his husband,eyes full of concern.

"Mmm...Nothing special,"he said gulping down the last bite and continued after a pause,

"Jungkook is too much busy now-a-days,he is stuck between three new projects simultaneously besides two that were already on his shoulders.

It's gonna be much difficult, I wish he could take care of himself,even a little."a deep sigh left his parted lips,worry laced his sharp features.

Once the dinner was over,they headed to their rooms, exhausted after a long and rough day.

Taehyung, after battling world war 3 between his kindness and pride ,picked up the phone and dialed the number.

I did it.

Oh no! I did it....

His heart started racing,palms sweating and eyes glued to the screen in anticipation.

You can do it taehyung!

He mumbled to himself.

On the other hand, jungkook was reading the documents while sipping through fifth cup of his espresso when his phone buzzed.

He kept the mug on the table and took his phone only to get surprised at the caller ID.

Yes,he has younger's number saved a long ago,probably...After the traffic accident?

Now don't ask me why, I'm sure he himself is not sure about it.

Anyways,after few rings, he picks the call up,

"Yes?"

He loved to mask his emotions as it became a habit in this world of business.

"Good evening sir, I'm Kim Taehyung,"

Now Don't underestimate the cute,fluffy tae bear!

He sure knows how to play sassy and confident_only thing required is some time, to adjust with the environment.Then you'll see different shades of his personality!

Jungkook obviously was in a mild shock at his confidence,but he is the master of such games,

It's gonna be a fun battle!

"Hmm...Go ahead,"he replied proving himself an epitome of calmness.

"Sir, I just heard about the new projects you'll be dealing in next three months.It will be lot of work,

I would like to help you with anything that you find suitable for me,"he said with confidence,his innocent mind totally unaware of other meaning that his words can hold.

Jungkook was successful in holding back a mischievous chuckle at youngers words.

He was pretty sure that taehyung has no idea what his devil mind was thinking about.

"Are you sure? You're on an official leave, I guess."

"I can still help with some paperwork,if you allow me to,"he replied_more like a counter attack.

"Sure then, I'll send you some files, prepare a report for them by tomorrow. I don't think you can do anything else from home."

"Okay sir,thank you."

"Hmm,good luck,"and the line ended.

Taehyung felt proud of himself, as he dealt with the situation confidently,

& Jungkook......he was grinning from ear to ear at the innocence of his intern, but deep inside_ impressed by his honesty.

' I should remember that I've to find his weakness,not his strengths,"he stated to himself, making sure to avoid any distractions......If that was possible!
