"Don't touch them taehyung!

I thought you were quite well-mannered,"said the other male in the house,while walking towards him.

He watched taehyung as younger was attracted to the particular painting amongst all the artworks. He felt at the moment that there's something unusual,something unrevealed about the person in front of him.

Trusting his father's words for the time being, jungkook decided to just wait for the day when the things will disclose and the meaning of their tattoo marks would be revealed.

"We'll leave in around ten minutes,till then_don't touch anything here. This is my personal space,be mindful."

And he headed to the balcony,scrolling down his phone aimlessly to pass the time.

Few seconds later, taehyung followed him behind and stood at some distance, definitely having a hard time to bring up a conversation.

"Can I ask you something jungkooksii?"

The said male just nodded,without taking his eyes off the screen.

There was something.....

Always something different in his sincere words that would scare jungkook,as he himself was not sure about the power that those sincere words hold in them.

Power to reveal one's weaknesses to them.

After taking a deep breath,taehyung finally asked,

"I'm very much grateful for whatever you've done today,but I truly wanna know_why did you help me? We don't know each other that much, and besides,it could have been a prank for you.

Yet, you came to me without verifying anything further,why?"

"I guess I should have left you on your own then."

"N-no,that's not what I mean,just-"

"_do you even remember how gruff and trembling your voice was? And,here you are asking me the reason,huh?"

Taehyung felt embarrassed for a moment and mumbled to himself,' it's not like I was the only one frightened at that time,you too sounded concerned!'

Still, jungkook managed to catch those floating words,

"What did you say? concerned?

Look, I was simply helping you out if humanity,if you remember,"he said showing off the typical CEO aura in front of his intern.

But,he is still unaware of what really Kim Taehyung is.

"What do you mean? You even called my name,if you remember it correctly. You were totally concerened for me."

"I never did!"

"Yes,you did! You called me taehyung,that too four tim-"

Oh no taehyung,what are you doing?

He face-palmed himself ,trying to swallow up the words that just escaped but it was all in vain.

Jungkook was already staring at him with wide eyes, processing what he just heard.

"Wait-"

"No no,it's not like-"

"_You literally counted it? Even in that kind of situation? Are you serious?"

"Listen,first of all, I'm a good listener so I remember what I heard very precisely.

And secondly, You called my name and now you're not accepting it! Just focus,don't change the topic,"he almost yelled trying to hide the embarrassment.

"Oh,so? What if I called you taehyung? Isn't it your name? Anyways.. you're younger than me, I find no wrong doing so."

Suddenly taehyung was feeling hot,his throat fell dry and the heartbeats went wild,

he was taking steps back_not because he was feeling sick or something but because jungkook was approaching him with his each word, now standing just an inch away from him,

That evil mind always knows how to use such powers at right times.

"You sure have got some guts,taehyung !Arguing with your CEO while standing in house, no one has done this to me before,"jungkook whispered, leaning forward to his eye level_ just an inch away from the most ethereal face he has ever seen.

Maybe taehyung will lose this time.

But you know 'luck' , it's an amazing part of their story.

How?

As if on cue,a ring interrupted the damn hot tension in the balcony and taehyung quickly used the chance to take in enough oxygen that he lacked for past good seconds.

"It was you who told me that you're jungkooksii,not sir,outside the work place! It means here_ you're not my CEO,so why should I not argue if I've my point?"

"Good point,by the way,"jungkook raised his brow at younger before taking the call.

"We should leave now. I'll follow you to your apartment. Anyways_ I was going to office for remaining work,"said jungkook while grabbing his keys and coat.

Soon,they left the place and jungkook went to office after leaving taehyung by his place.

_____________

"I'm sorry tae, I was exhausted and fell asleep right after the work. Why did you call so late,by the way?"

"Nothing much hyung,just I felt like,so....It's okay, I'll drop by your place after my leave today."

"Great! Let's do that. I'll be back by 6' or 7' maybe. Hobi isn't there and it's being hard for me to handle all the appointments,"

"It's okay hyung, I'll wait."

"Hmm,bye then."

"Bye,see you in the evening."

Taehyung threw the phone on his bed and started to select an outfit for the day.

'I'm gonna attend a meeting today,it should be look professional ,'he suggested himself and finally found a suitable one.

After checking for all the important papers once again,he left home and headed to the workplace.

As expected,he was greeted by numerous questioning gazes and awful stares_but no one dared to question CEO's decision.

Well, that's Jeon Jungkook's kingdom after all.

"May I come in sir?"

"Come in,"

"How about you host today's presentation? Not whole,but any one part that you find comfortable with.It would be a helpful experience for sure."

"Sir... I'm not that well-prepared yet. How can I suddenly-"

"_ hmm. Thinking of it,you weren't either prepared for a fight yesterday, still your energy was amazing.

Then this presentation is a doddle for you,right?"

"It has nothing to do with my work! Why are you linking them so strangely?

And you are the one saying that personal and professional boundaries must be maint-"

"That's enough! You're doing it.

Last section to sum up all the important criterias and to present the schematic budget_that would be for you."

And he left the office hiding the smile that was about to escape his lips,leaving taehyung totally clueless and bewildered.

"What am I supposed to do now? Woah,Look at this crazy CEO I'm working with,"taehyung stated out of frustration while blankly processing the next move.

"By the way, Mr.Kim, the presentation is delayed by an hour due to some personal reasons of that crazy CEO you're talking about. So_good luck!"

There was no need to turn around for taehyung_ as he already was full aware about the owner of such an authoritative voice.

"And one more thing, you can't just curse at me while standing in my office. Do it somewhere else,got it?"

"Yes si-- what??No-- I wasn't cursing at all, I swear.

Sir---!"he jogged upto the elevator but couldn't catch jungkook.

"Why does he keeps on listening to my crap talks!His auditory senses must be amazing."

"What are you talking about?"

A sudden voice startled him as soon as his nerves were starting to calm down,and he jumped a step back before regaining the balance.

"Ah.... bogumsii.

I was definitely going to call him a ghost if it was that person again.

He's terrible!"taehyung blabbered out to himself, completely ignoring a human presence in front of him.

"Hey, what's up with you?

Are you alright?"bogum asked him with concern.

"Huh? Y-yeah. I'm fine,but I think I need your help," taehyung answered seeming quite disturbed.

"Of course, what's it?"

He narrated the events from jungkook's office to him,and asked to help him with his first presentation_which was not so difficult for bogum to handle.

Within half an hour,they were done discussing the younger's part and bogum left to take over his own work.

Taehyung got busy in revising the whole thing again,feeling nervous for his first attempt.

It always seems impossible until its done,right?

That's the thrill of first experience.

______________

~"You were right,we knocked down many bastards on the way to office."

"I knew it namjoon,they won't leave taehyung alone. We need to be more careful."

The door to study was opened as Mr.Jeon entered the room.

The two young men already waiting_bowed to him, before taking their respective seats.

"Darco isnot here,he's overseas for some sort of deals.

We need to wait in order to solve this matter,"namjoon relayed the information that he got a few hours ago.

"There isn't any other way than to talk him face-to-face. Let's not make any harsh moves, understood?" Mr.Jeon declared with finality.

"Anyways, what about taehyung?"he directed a sudden question upon jungkook.

"What about him?"he replied,more like inquired as to where the question was directed.

"I mean, how is everything going on in the office?

Namjoon says he's quite impressed by him & his work."

"Well,good enough!

But why are you asking about that?"

"After letting him work with you in the same office, I thought you might be the only one knowing most about him and his work.

Am I wrong,dear son?"

"No, you're right. He seems to improve very fast,only thing required is the right guidance_that I'm trying my best to give."

"Hmm...I trust you with him.

Then_dont be late for the meeting. You both should leave now,"and the young men left for the meeting right after the brief conversation.

_____________

"~These norms&criteria will be the pre-requisite for our next project. Though it may take a bit more of your energy and time, still there would be no change or compromise in any of these.

Am I clear to all?"

The booming voice of none other than Jeon Jungkook_as always_spelled the command in a huge hall with presence of all the department heads in Jeons' business.

"Yes sir."

"Now,the remaining session will proceed with Mr.Kim Taehyung.

In case of any queries regarding the new project_contact Mr.Kim so that they will be conveyed to me."

After addressing his last words, jungkook gestured the intern to take the lead onwards.

But the chaotic and confusing expressions all around the hall made taehyung ten times more nervous than he already was. The courage that he somehow gathered up in last two hours, now started to falter.

He left the seat and moved towards a large projector screen_adorning perfectly at the centre of hall_a place of his first ever spotlight in a business meeting.

Just a tiny bit of nervousness that accidentally escaped out in the form of sweatband on his forehead was enough for jungkook to get an idea of younger's state.

He never doubted the capabilities and strengths that taehyung holds in himself,but start to new journeys always scare you the most_this fact was very well experienced by the youngest successful CEO.

It is bound to happen at some point....

New beginning that bring future of accomplishments along with the sense of challenges and fears,

it will be for you to endure as you forge ahead on that path.

At such times,you don't need inspiration stories or achievement tails of the people out there....

All you need is just an affirmation_that you'll be fine at the end,

a touch of console & comfort_ to make you believe in yourself,

Do you think taehyung will be able to get this feeling at the commencement of a whole new chapter in his life?

Just two steps away from the spot_ where he would be standing for the first time ever, taehyung felt a strong yet gentle hand pressed against his back, for merely a second.

He was taken aback at first, but looked around to figure out what just happened to him.

Yes.

He was right!

That was the Jeon Jungkook who made sure to encourage his intern by patting his back_ in the most obscure way that taehyung himself could barely notice.

Just a comforting touch with a reassuring feel, that _in an instant_radiated through taehyung and all the worries flew away.

How?

Thats the power of invisible strings of feelings binding two souls together_just like they are meant to be.

What happened in next hour of meeting?

.

.

.

Kim Taehyung nailed it.

The hall was resonating the deep and confident voice of an intern which was enough to slap the criticism and objections laid over him for getting CEO's personal attention.

The meeting came to end with success. Jungkook headed to the office, namjoon following behind.

Taehyung was busy, collecting the queries of employees.

"I know taehyung did fabulous job today despite being an intern, still_it was too much for him to handle. You should take the process slow,don't you agree?"joon said while crouching down over sofa.

"I'm aware of it, namjoon.

By now, everyone present in the meeting should feel ashamed for their shitty talks about him. If they dare one more time,it will really be the end for them.

This was merely a trailer about what taehyung actually is. And surely the last chance for them to get their senses back."
