"Sir! Sir!" Seojun entered the lavish office inside the mansion panting and out of breath. It was nearly midnight but before he could start for home he had received a gut wrenching news. At first he did not trust his ears but when he saw the body himself he was hit with the reality really hard.
"Master Ki-joon he......he is no more." He looked at the man sitting at the table but the reaction he got was not something he expected. The loud laughter of the old man churned his stomach. He felt as if he was standing infront of a psychopath. "I knew he was planning to die. Such a stupid bastard." Han-Gyoel said while still laughing.
"Sir?" Seojun was so shocked and confused. Doesn't he love Ki-joon? He was his favourite son. Wasn't he? His conflicted mind was a mess of unorganized thoughts. "Sir! Your son died." There was a desperation in his voice.
"It's okay Seojun. He thought that he would plan to take Taehyung behind my back and I wouldn't know it. He was planning to take the company to himself. It's only nice that he was removed from my path. Atleast now I have a person less to kill." His words were sadistic and Seojun stepped back in shock.
Han-Gyoel snickered at that. "Seojun! Seojun! You still don't know me. Nothing is important to me as much as my money and power. It's sad that Ki-joon died and I did like him. He was somewhat like me but that's it. I was not attached to him. As it is he was about to turn into a threat for me. I would have killed him myself later but my work is already done and now I can concentrate on that useless Taehyung."

Seojun on the other hand just kept looking at him. His eyes were blank. It took him some time to gain his composure. "I'll take my leave now sir." He said and quickly turned around to walk away from that cursed place. Whatever happened today was something he had never expected. Or was it something he just never wanted to expect? The man he worked for was nothing but an emotionless monster. He didn't even value a single person in his life. The only thing that mattered to him were those stupid pieces of paper.
Seojun wasn't even sure now. Would keeping his mouth shut be enough to protect his family from such a person? Or was it just ruining things for him and many people around?
They forgot everything when they had each other. Each pain and betrayal seemed to be nothing but a bad dream. They were each other's comfort and heaven.
Everytime I see you I fall in love all over again.
Jungkook thought as his eyes fell on the naked frame of his husband standing under the shower with him. They don't know how they even agreed to this. But they just did. He gently lathered the other's body who had his puppy eyes casted on him.
When his eyes locked with Taehyung's his breath hitched. Love. There was so much love in the boy's eyes at the moment. His stupid heart started beating loudly. It seemed like it wanted to come out of his body. He gulped when Taehyung stepped forward.
The petite male snaked his arms around the ravenette's neck and then pulled him a little towards himself. The next moment their lips met. Jungkook pulled Taehyung even closer as he deepened the kiss. Exploring each other's mouth they drowned in their feelings.
They pulled away out of breath and held their gaze. Then they were kissing again. Jungkook trapped Taehyung against the cold wall as the other held onto him tightly. Their moans and panting filled up the entire room as their session turned into a heated one.

The ravenette kept marking the beautiful skin of his ethereal husband. It all felt so right. Being in each other's arms just felt so right. Satisfied Jungkook gently picked Taehyung up and took him out of the shower. After drying themselves they plopped down on the bed and held onto each other with the intention of never letting go.
"Thank you for saving my mother today." Jungkook said breaking the long silence. "You don't have to thank me for that. She is my family." Taehyung said as he snuggled closer to the buff male. "I want to thank you instead Kook. You don't know how free I feel after knowing that Ki-joon can't harm me anymore. I was so scared for melon today but you kept your promise and saved us."
Jungkook didn't say anything instead he just tightened his hold on Taehyung. Both of them sighed in relief and closed their eyes. "I love you." Taehyung's voice was a mere whisper but Jungkook heard it very clearly. He didn't say it back though. He was dying to say those words to the boy in arms but he held himself back.
He didn't want to get defeated by those feelings again. He couldn't afford to.

The morning felt like a new life to Taehyung. He stretched as he got up and then caressed his stomach. "Good morning melon." His voice sounded so cheerful even to his own self.
With a dreamy look on his face he went to the bathroom and came out after freshening up. He took his vitamins smiling ear to ear and then went towards the parlour. "Mr Jeon your breakfast is ready." His caretaker said as soon as she saw him.
"Miss Han where are the others?" He asked as he made himself comfortable on the chair. "Everyone has already left for work. Even Mr. Jeon's parents. You are the only one here for now. They said that they'll be back by eight." She informed.
Taehyung nodded and smiled once before digging into the mouth watering meal. Man he was hungry! Once he had eaten to his heart's content he got up and thanked Miss Han for the meal before starting for his room.
"Mr. Jeon." He haulted at the sudden call and turned around. "There was a letter delivered for you in the morning. Here." The lady said as she handed over the envelope to the boy. He quickly took it and smiled before bidding her a goodbye. Then he skipped towards his room totally unaware of.......
The storm that letter was going to bring in his life.
