Day|5

The Jeon CEO was busy searching some papers when a knock was heard and before he could reply,the male entered his office.

There were only two persons around jungkook who won't bother to take his permission,

his rival hyung_namjoon, and a no-matter-what friend as well as advisor_yoongi.

"Hyung? What do I owe the pleasure of seeing you early in the morning!" jungkook asked smiling like a bunny as he saw the male entering his office.

"Had something to ask you,I was on the way to studio,but couldn't wait more,"yoongi said taking seat at the couch.

Jungkook followed him behind and looked upto the said male,

"What's it?"

"Exactly when are you going to confess, huh?"

"W-what? I mean,why are you asking this so suddenly?"

"Look,I know tae won't dare to ask you out even if he likes you,but what about you? That day you looked so confident and all.... now what?"

Jungkook took a deep breath leaning on the leathery couch,trying to pick up the words for his answer,

"Hyung...I don't wanna be a burden to him.

We've the conference in just four days, and it'll be a huge event for taehyung. What if he gets disturbed because of my sudden confession? It won't be good for him,"

"Nothing will happen jungkookah! Trust me,just go for it. Who knows if he likes you too?"

"But I've no idea about his feelings hyung. I don't wanna take this risk when he's about to face such an important event of his life,"he said with a heavy voice that clearly depicted how much he was holding it in,for the sake of younger.

"And what if your confession boosts up his energy to hundered times? Have you ever thought of that?

Listen to me, I saw something at his house yesterday that I didn't expect at all. I won't tell you what it is, but believe me_don't waste your time. Just go for it,hmm?"

"What about today then?"jungkook asked in an instant_as his reflexes got quick by hearing these words from yoongi.

He knew it....if yoongi hyung is saying it'll be okay, then he shouldn't think about it anymore.

"Sounds perfect"the other male said grinning with satisfaction.

"I'll get going then.

And one more thing, don't do any lame thing, okay? No cheesy lines at all!"

Jungkook couldn't believe what a great advise he just got.

"What do you take me for?"he retorted and they both chuckled at themselves.

Soon, yoongi left the office and now jungkook was thinking of a way for this special occasion.

Thinking for a while, he dialed a number_Kim taehyung.

Good morning, sir.

"Good morning. What were you upto?"

Um, About to leave for office_

"Wait, You've a day off today. Instead lend me some of your time.

Can you?"

Day off? I've my schedule for today sir.

You prepared it for me.

"Important tasks are all done and if you want I'll teach you that in one day,don't worry about it."

Sure then. But,why do you....Need my time?

"Be ready in an hour, I'll pick you up."

O-okay.

"Wait!"

Yes sir,

"You may dress up casually. It's nothing work related."

Huh?

And the call was hung up. Jungkook grabbed his keys and left the office, Lisa watching the scene in confusion as it wasn't long since he came to work this morning.

Taehyung was confused at what was this all about? Why was he given a day off? And a meeting that's not work related?

Nevertheless,keeping his questions apart,tae was now rummaging through his closet,trying to find a perfect outfit.

"What should I wear tannie? Anyways I'm not gonna dress up formally,so let's go with this. What says?"he asked yeontan smiling happily,who was carefully observing his father.

It didn't take long for him,and taehyung was ready. There was some time left for an hour so he decided to spend it with tannie. He was trying to get rid of sudden nervousness and hundreds of questions arising in his mind at the moment.

He is so oblivious of how this day will reveal a beautiful and breathtaking season of his life.

Jungkook changed into a casual outfit and was sitting on his bed_deep in thoughts. He felt the phone vibrating beside him and took it to check the message he has been waiting for.

𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝚙𝚛𝚎𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚜 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚍𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚊𝚜 𝚙𝚎𝚛 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚛𝚍𝚎𝚛,𝚜𝚒𝚛.

10:43𝚊𝚖

Not wasting a single second,he got up and left the mansion. Driving on the familiar streets of Seoul,he could feel his heart beating so hard, that he was able to hear the sound himself.

He was nervous,but more than that, he was happy. He won't be holding his feelings anymore,and the thought alone made him at ease for the whole ride.

Soon,the black luxurious car pulled across an apartment. He massaged someone and the male he was waiting for,stepped outside_locking the door behind.

End.

That's it.

Only thing jungkook could think of at the moment he saw taehyung walking towards the car,

A smile that always makes your day,

Existence that inspires zest in your gray,

The only one who has the permission to meddle with Jeon Jungkook's personal life.... without getting scolded or yelled at for his actions...

He was the first and will be the last to get such privilege.

Jeon was so immersed in praising the said male,and forgot to unlock the doors. Taehyung knocked the glass window,bringing him out of the trance.

"Oh,sorry!"

"Gud morning jungkooksii,"younger greeted while getting in the car,

and the moment he finally looked upto the male in front,he went blank.... Those perfectly sculpted features that always leave you in a gawk,his hairs_naturally black in colour but powdered to brown shades_gracefully covering the forehead.

The overcoat on his broad shoulders contrasting the bright milky skin tone and how can we forget_the spark in his dark orbs which never fails to drive kim taehyung crazy_

True definition of perfection.

"Gud morning,"jungkook replied,smiling out of the blue as he started the engine.

"Where are we going?"

"Just somewhere."

"What's the matter anyways?"

"Just something."

"Why aren't you answering me properly?"

"Just because."

"Why do you exist?"

"Just-- what?"

And taehyung started laughing at his cute prank.

"I was kidding, don't get offended please."

"You're getting bold everyday,huh?"

"And you don't mind it though!

Or else I would've been kicked out of your office till now."

Taehyung stated the fact and jungkook can't help but smile at his intern,that taehyung always found amusing.

The smile that is rare for others,and the sight that others hardly get to witness in their life_ taehyung was able to experience it all. He would always feel a strange contentment by just looking at the said male... and he can do this forever,not getting tired or bored at all.

"Well, it's awkward,"jungkook said after few seconds_noticing younger's stare upon himself for good time. This caught him off guard.

"Um.. It's-I mean that- I was--

Aaaahh! Never mind!

Sorry."taehyung apologized with loads of embarrassment, averting his gaze to the window of his side,face-palming himself for behaving so stupidly.

Jungkook.... was thrown into fits of laughter at the cutest scene he witnessed. Seeing the straight highway ahead,he set the control on autodrive mode and looked upto the male beside him.

"That was cute! Why are you so embarrassed?

Anyways it's not your fault that I'm this handsome,right?"

Taehyung was surprised at the self-compliment he just heard,

"How can you compliment yourself like that! Woah"

"You may say... It's jin hyung's effect?

After all this time, I learnt only one thing from him_to praise and love myself to the fullest!"

"Ohh... I got it. I learnt some pretty good cooking skills though."

And the drive was full of comfortable talk and discussion over some random topics.

It took few more minutes to reach them to the destination.

"C'mon. We're here,"said elder while getting out of the car.

It seemed like a lifeless land_just plain ground was in the view with no human presence, except the two males,who just got here.

Jungkook lead the way,younger following behind. Soon,the real venue for the day was in front of taehyung and he was more than surprised at the beautiful sight_

It was a beach,that he never visited before.

Doesn't he know about this place after living for so long in Seoul?

Yes,he knew. But never visited 'cause he hated the chaos that would disturb the beautiful view amd peace one is supposed to get at such places. He wasn't a fan of public places that much.

"This is sooooo beautiful, I never thought it can be this amazing,"he exclaimed taking note of different shades of blue in just one frame.

There is no challenge to the beauty of nature,it always amazes us to the core.

"But wait,why is no one here? The owner declared it as a public place long ago,right?"

"Umm..... I kind of rented it for the day,"he replied,heading towards somewhere. Taehyung never imagined such thing in his life, I mean-someone will rent a whole damn beach to spend time with him?

Yes boy, cz the Jeon CEO is madly whipped for his intern.

Nevertheless,he followed jungkook behind and there saw another surprise for himself,

He was confused,happy,emotional, amazed, surprised, nervous_all at the same time. No words left in his vocabulary. He simply followed the elder like a lost puppy and took seat in front of him.

"What happened?"jungkook asked a little concerned,as taehyung went silent suddenly.

"I don't know! I can't believe I'm experiencing all these beautiful things...

Why are we here? Can you please tell me?"

"Just to enjoy the view. Don't think so much,and have this" he said passing the snacks and desert to him.

They savoured the sweetness of a variety of desserts while enjoying the soothing breeze and peaceful sight in front.

Jungkook can't help but stare at the mesmerising beauty in front of him,who was busy appreciating nature and sight at the beach.

"You looked so cool when I first saw you,back then_at your graduation day"jungkook broke the peaceful silence as he stared now at the vast blue sky,delicately holding up the white clouds in his embrace.

Taehyung was listening with all his attention, extremely happy to see the elder opening up in front of him.

"What you said in your speech, I still remember each and every word. That was the time I felt power of words,that I never knew existed. I'm not good with my words,but the moment I heard you sharing the speech with so honesty and confidence_I strangely felt vulnerable. I hated being honest in front of the world,because once you open up and share your life experiences with the world,they will attack you right on your weakness.

Despite knowing this fact, I spoke with all my honesty that day,

I regretted it later,but that was the first time someone other than my dad,affected me this much. Its not easy to sway me and make me change my decisions and beliefs,but you successfully did it in one go. Just in those five minutes on stage."

His gaze made its way on taehyung,who was listening to him without any clue.

"I'm honored that my words influenced you,but what you think about the world is also true.

Once your weakness is revealed,there is no way back. It has always been hard for you to reach this height,and I can feel it jungkooksi"younger said once again leaving the said male in disbelief at his sincere words.

"From that day onward till this moment we're in.... You've always influenced & amazed me in different ways. I keep smiling a lot,as I realized that world is not as cruel as I think of it... there are still angels like you who makes this world a beautiful place to live.

I started living my life,rather than just passing the days with heavy responsibilities coming my way...

And I finally realised,that you're not only a cherished intern of mine_but a lot more than that.

A person who has helped me find the lost me in myself."

Taehyung couldn't feel the breeze caressing his honey skin anymore,nor could he care about the wonderful sight of waves hitting the shore countless times....He was lost in jungkook's words,afraid that he'll wake up from the dream and this incredible moment will end in an instant.

His heart was pounding wildly in his chest,air stuck in the lungs and eyes stinging with the tears about to fall anytime.

"I want simple life with you, Kim taehyung.......

A morning routine,silly arguments,

peaceful meals,evening walks, late night movies,your cute prattle all day long.... adorable fights in living room, non stop bickering in the kitchen, hide and seek in the hallways and warm cuddles in bedroom. A hug on my stressful day, and this beautiful smile to start the day.

I want to enjoy rain with you,spend winters and welcome springs with you tae......I want a long happy life with you_That's it.

Can you grant me this?"

How was this poor boy supposed to take so much in one day!

At this point,he had no control left and tears were streaming like there's no tomorrow. He stayed froze in his spot,still unable to process what just happened.

His life took a whole damn beautiful turn in few seconds_he never saw this coming.

Jungkook was looking at the male with so much fondness and love in his eyes,that sent chills down younger's spine.

There was still a huge ocean left in his eyes,despite of what he said few moments ago.

Wiping the tears, taehyung was staring down_ composing himself to speak up,

"Before anything, you need to know that I'm damaged...jungkooksii" taehyung finally replied,after trying his real best to gather up the courage.

"I'm not exactly what people see me like everyday. I get triggered and scared easily_but I'm good in hiding this weakness of mine. I've struggled with simple things after mom and dad left me alone.

There are nights when I just close the door,curl up in my bed and cry my heart out for hours. There are days when I feel worthless and I shut everyone out,to wander aimlessly on my own,questioning my existence.

I smile all time, whereas somewhere deep inside, I regret this life, without mom and dad. I regret going to my granny's place that day. I regret running away from my mom that morning.

I'm a shattered soul,trying my best to accept this life. I'm not the always smiling person that you see me as."

He was unable to look in jungkook's eyes anymore as he averted his gaze upon the long fidgeting fingers in his lap.

"I'm showing my worst side to the most beautiful thing that happened in my life_but I've no choice!

I want you to know that I'm still a broken soul,after so many years of struggling to get fixed. I've fears and insecurities and I can't help it."

The pain jungkook felt listening to the person in front,was ripping his heart.

He was aware of the fact that taehyung's life hasnot been easy,but to hear it from taehyung himself_ that miseries of tae's life filled him with rage towards the world, once again.

And there was no way he's letting go of such angelic soul, that means everything to him now.... He was going to make sure that this precious blessing he got_ will always be happy and smiling the day onwards,and he can do anything for it,

"I want you as the broken soul that you are. I'll try with all my might to fix it taehyung. Cause for me, you're the only one that I want to be with through each time_may whatever be your fears, insecurities, flaws or vulnerabilities.

Give me the chance to make your life much more wonderful & splendid than you made mine, tae.

If I say I'll help you till my last breath....Will you believe my with your heart?"

There was no way taehyung could deny the words of this amazing person in front of him. He felt blessed, immensely blessed to meet this person and experience this moment in his life.

He was a mess right now. No words escaping his lips,no matter how much he tried. The hiccups were evident of how difficult it is for him to handle this overwhelming feeling.
