"Taehyung,wait a second!"voice of a young male caused taehyung to stop in his tracks and turn around. It was bogum,

"Sorry, I couldn't make it tomorrow.

Let's go for lunch together,"said bogum while taking the hand of younger and lead the way upto cafeteria in the office campus.

The blunt and care free behavior of bogum would now a days make tae uncomfortable around him. It was already a couple of times that he offered taehyung to have a meal together_and taehyung being the pure and kind soul he is, didn't want to deny it so many times.... Furthermore,it was just a meal together, he thought to himself.

And both the males entered a huge hall that was no where less than a five-star restaurant.

Believe me when I say Jeons'business is an empire in itself!

"Apparently,that man was totally disguised,and we couldn't find a single clue about him yet,"jungkook informed his father,who was sitting on the couch with namjoon beside him.

"He made sure not to leave any trace behind,seems like a pro in this field"joon added as both the sons watched jihwan getting up and heading towards the bookshelf.

He eyed the orderly placed compilation of books and his gaze fixed upon the second column,to the left. He picked out an old diary and turned around while flipping through the pages.

"Here,"he handed the diary to jungkook and went to sit on his chair behind the desk.

The snappish temper of younger was on the turn now,as he flipped through the pages,

"It's uncle Dohyun's........"he whispered to himself but the other two males were able to catch it.

"Yes, you're right."

Jihwan looked up at the sky,filled with warmest vibes at this hour of the day as a smile made its way on his face_hiding the stinging sense in his eyes.

"Kim Taehyung,

He's the only son of Dohyun,"

"D-dad?"both the males shot up from their seats as if they saw a ghost.

It was difficult to say whether jungkook was happy to get the information or confused anticipating the yet-to-reveal facts.

Nonetheless,a dense fog that covered the truth from ten years back... now was starting to clear up,

giving a better view of the frosting night on 20th January 2011.

_______________

"Tae, I've something to tell you,"bogum said in a rather serious tone that caught younger's attention.

The casual discussion about the high school and university days at the table,seemed to take a turn now.

"I'm not the one to beat around the bush,so let me ask you straight_

Would you like to go on a date this weekend?"

Taehyung choked on his food as the words the words passed his lips.

"W-what?"

Bogum poured a glass and offered him,

"Here!

You don't need to answer me right away,take your time."

It took a minute or two for taehyung to compose himself. He took a deep breath and looked upto the male in front.

Those dark brown orbs, didn't show a glimpse of hesitation or awkwardness but the confidence reflecting through them was enough to make bogum nervous in his seat.

"I don't think I need time as there's nothing to think about,"he continued.

"I'm not ready for such relationship yet, bogumsii. I just want to focus on my career for now, I've a long way to go. Sorry,but I can't accept this."

Bogum definitely didn't expect the rejection right away. He was speechless as nothing younger said was wrong or unacceptable.

Sensing the embarrassing atmosphere at the table, taehyung wiped his mouth with the tissue and got up,

"I'll get going,see you later."

"Uh? Y-yeah."

.....................

"Where were you?"a deep voice startled taehyung as he mindlessly entered the office after an incomplete lunch_thanks to someone!

"U_uh... I was in cafeteria,"he replied looking at the unexpected presence in front of him..... his CEO_ Jeon Jungkook.

"Sorry, sir. You weren't here when I left, so I just entered without knocking."

"Hmm.. good that you're aware of it."

"Huh?"

"Nothing. Show me how much you've progressed with the presentation."

Taehyung complied with the orders and placed his laptop in front of his CEO.

"Explain it."

"Sure sir," and he went to stand beside jungkook,explaining his work and the other male listening with all his attention and interest.

He finished and looked up at jungkook, standing at some distance from his chair.

"How am I doing,sir? Is there something wrong or left?"

Jungkook kept staring at the screen for few more seconds before turning to his intern.

"Let me show you where you can improve further, there's nothing wrong though. Ready?"

"Yes,"taehyung was squealing internally_as finally this was the kick-start towards a long journey.

A journey to his dream,that won't be easy but full of surprises.

It sure was the first time for jungkook to teach someone personally, and he gave the best of him for it.

"I'll make sure to remember these points."

"You should. You're lucky... no, no...Luckiest to learn about my hacks personally from me, you know?"

"I'll do my best,sir."and he took the laptop,turning towards his desk.

"I'm not done yet,"stated the CEO that caused taehyung to return to his position.

"Complete this by tomorrow,and memorize everything till lunch time, got it?"

"M-memorize? I mean... It's a presentation regarding our collaboration, all I need to do is explain, right?"taehyung asked totally clueless about elder's intention behind the command.

"Just do as I say,we never know what'll happen at the moment"jungkook continued.

"You'll follow all of my orders about this project, without any questions, got it?

I'll make sure you learn the best you can in this time. Now get back to work."

Generosity you see.

~I know we ain't perfect,but with you...

It's so good, it's so good,

And I know it's all worth it,'cz with you...

It's so good ,it's so good,

I know we ain't perfect,but with you~~~

Taehyung woke up to cheerful melody of his alarm,that filled the start of his day with passion and warmth.

It's gonna be a new start for Kim Taehyung_new beginning, new ideas, new hopes..... Realizing that he could be the person he's always seen on the distant horizon_his future self,

One step at a time starting today.

He headed towards the bathroom,brushed his teeth,stripped out of clothes and let the warm water soothe his nerves that were too excited, God knows what for!

Maybe his innocent self was eager to shut the foul mouths of some employees,who always doubted and critisized younger for no matter what and how he did.

And maybe this was the reason that he started to rummage through his closet to pick out a perfect outfit for the day. And he did_a simple & fresh outfit that best complimented his ethereal beauty.

Looks like another day of double attack on someone_with beauty and brain.

He got dressed up and left the apartment while grabbing the necessities.

A sweet smile of excitement never left his features as he drove off towards the office. The morning breeze tickling his face and heart pounding a little while anticipating the day ahead.

For anyone else,it won't be this much special as it was for taehyung. This was the only way for him to make his parents rest in peace_without worrying about the precious son they left behind; his only dream that kept him alive and going on without giving up on the shitty harsh world.

Soon he parked near the huge luxurious building of Jeons' and took a deep breath before getting out. A wave of confidence rushed through his veins as he saw everyone staring at him in gawk,

He was successful in shutting the hell up around himself......

Walking through the corridors,he stepped towards the elevator. His fragile slender fingers ruffled the bangs covering the flawless forehead as he looked up_only to find his breath catched at the view.

Jungkook was getting off the elevator with Lisa but stuck in his steps as he saw taehyung heading in his direction.

He couldn't get his eyes off of the male in front without giving a thought to human presence around them,and why shouldn't he? That was too much for him to handle at once,and he didn't deny the fact today.

'Get a hold of yourself Jeon Jungkook' he mentally warned himself before taking steps towards the intern,with a subtle smirk plastered over that face.

"Good morning, sir"taehyung greeted the CEO, being full aware of never leaving gaze that didn't made him uncomfortable at all. He was flustered to see jungkook at a loss of words,yet it didn't make him feel like run away.... it felt as if he was getting complimented without words.

"Gud morning! What about presentation?"jungkook asked looking straight into the dark brown orbs and his usual cold expression seemed to soften as he approached taehyung.

The next moment office was a mess,as no one could believe that they just saw their CEO personally interacting with a person, other than his assistant_on top of that,to mere an intern!

Employees were beyond surprised and started gossiping as they passed the duo standing few steps away from the elevator. Both the males noticed the tension around them due to hundreds of questioning gazes were boring holes into them. Before jungkook could tell younger to not mind anyone and keep going_taehyung replied,

"It's done sir,all I need is to memorize the points. I'll complete the task before lunch,"he said looking at jungkook_ that unexpectedly made him feel stronger and more confident.

Jungkook....well he felt so proud of his intern,as a genuine smile replaced the smirk and taehyung's fragile heart for sure skipped a beat.

"I'll be back in an hour, go and prepare for your first test."

"Yes sir,"and the conversation was dismissed,both the males heading in their directions.

Lisa,on the other hand,was fuming with jealousy and disgust. She couldn't believe that jungkook,in real talked to an intern in the middle of corridor with a subtle but genuine smile that no one else has ever seen before. It was difficult to accept that he's the same Jeon Jungkook who hates interacting with employees casually and to be specific_personally.

"Woah! You're getting too ahead of yourself,huh?"she mumbled to herself while looking towards the retreating figure of taehyung.

____________________

Jungkook was nervous for some reason, currently sitting in the waiting lounge at the airport. The flight he was waiting for has arrived and he is looking for someone's arrival desperately.

A certain black-haired male entered the area and jungkook shot up from his seat,

"Hyung!"he called for the male who was now looking at him.

The Navy blue shirt perfectly contrasting his bright skin tone, mask and a cap that were successfully hiding the face of said male. Earrings and a locket adding a serene and satisfying charm to his personality.

The male headed straight toward the jungkook and both of them to the back exit so as to avoid a crowd of fans waiting at the main exit door.

"How was your flight, hyung?"jungkook asked him when they drove off towards the city streets.

"I was sleeping the whole time,so feeling a bit hungry now,"yoongi replied while looking out of the window_his hometown that he missed during this time.

"I know a good restaurant nearby. Lets go there."

"Hmm.. sounds great"he agreed and in a mere span of five minutes, car was parked outside a cozy and pacific restaurant. A comfortable silence embracing the atmosphere around,was something that yoongi liked the most.

"How's it?"jungkook asked while looking at his hyung who was busy admiring the surroundings.

"It suits my test, perfectly my style,"

Jungkook guided him through the backyard towards a secluded table setting in the backyard. The restaurant was eco-friendly with the lush green trees and beautiful flowers adding a sense of calmness and soothing effect to the visitors.

"Seems like you come here often,"yoongi said making himself comfortable at the seat.

"Hmm... It's the best place to take a break from busy life.

I've special attachment with the owner though,"younger stated looking around the place searching for someone.

"Omo! My kook is here after a long time, huh?"a voice of middle aged woman snapped both the males towards the other side of backyard.

"Granny,"jungkook greeted the lady, followed by yoongi and they had a short conversation before she left with the orders.

"How do you know her?"yoongi asked being curious about the matter.

"She's my friend's granny from high school. A car accident caused the death of my friend with both his parents and since then she lives alone. I visit here once in a while to check upon her,"younger explained and yoongi nodded in reply.

"Hyung, I've something to discuss with you,"jungkook said, looking nervous and this definitely caught elder's attention.

"What's the matter? Seeing The Jeon Jungkook nervous is a rare sight,"yoongi said and both the males chuckled.

"I wanna know about taehyung,

Can you tell me about him as much you can?"

"Kim Taehyung.

I know him since I started dating jimin. And I swear I haven't seen a pure and kind soul like him ever in my life. He lost his parents around ten years ago,no one knows how they died though. Then he was missing for about two year after that incident,and apparently a lady named Nancy took care of him in the mean time.

Jin hyung and hobi found out about them when they were volunteering at the country side during a campaign. Nancy wasn't in a financially good state to take the responsibility but she was trying her best. When they got to know about tae's passion and hard work in his studies, Jin hyung were the first to offer him living with his family,in other words_they adapted tae. It's been around eight years since then and here they are."

Few moments of silence passed by when jungkook spoke up,

"Hmm... It's the sufficient info I wanted about him, thanks hyung."

"No need to thank jungkookah, just take care of our taebear and never hurt him in your lifetime, understood?"yoongi ordered and the other male was taken aback by his words.

"H-hyung...How d-did...?"

"C'mon jungkook, it's too obvious to notice! Anyone can tell you're so whipped by the way you look at tae, "he replied in a duh tone and the younger listening dumbfounded.

The order arrived just at the moment and both of them started enjoying the breakfast.

"But let me ask you one thing,"yoongi looked upto the male in front and continued,

"How did you figured out your feelings for him? I'm sure it wasn't easy especially for you to sort out the mess in your mind."
