Hate You Too, Love You 1

The room was charged with tension as Taehyung, a man known for his sharp business acumen and unyielding resolve, sat at the head of the table. His presence commanded attention, every executive in the room awaiting his final decision. Today was the culmination of months of work, and Taehyung was moments away from closing one of the most significant deals of his career.

As he picked up the pen, ready to sign the contract, the heavy oak doors of the boardroom suddenly burst open. The interruption caused a murmur to ripple through the room.

Jeon Jungkook

*With a smirk, as he strides in confidently* You didn’t think I’d let you have this one, did you, Taehyung?

Taehyung’s expression remained cold, his irritation hidden beneath a calm exterior. But inside, he seethed. Jungkook had a knack for showing up at the worst possible moments, always with that infuriating smirk plastered on his face.

Jungkook’s entrance, dressed in a sleek black suit, made it clear that he wasn’t here for a friendly visit. His eyes gleamed with mischief, enjoying the discomfort he caused. He thrived in these moments, where he could throw Taehyung off balance.

Kim Taehyung

*Coldly, with a steady gaze* You’re too late. This deal is mine.

Jeon Jungkook

*Mockingly* I wouldn’t be so sure about that. I’ve already made a better offer.

The executives exchanged uneasy glances as Taehyung glanced at the document. His jaw tightened imperceptibly, but he refused to let Jungkook see any sign of weakness.

This wasn’t the first time Jungkook had swooped in at the last minute, undercutting Taehyung with his ruthless tactics. But Taehyung wasn’t about to back down. Not now, not ever.

Kim Taehyung

*With quiet determination* We’ll see who comes out on top, Jungkook.

Jungkook chuckled, the sound low and dangerous. He leaned closer to Taehyung, his voice dropping to a whisper.

Jeon Jungkook

*Tauntingly* Oh, I’m counting on it.

With that, he turned on his heel and left the room, leaving behind a room full of tension and a fuming Taehyung. The battle lines had been drawn once again.

That evening, as the city lights twinkled outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of Taehyung’s office, he replayed the day’s events in his mind. Jungkook had a way of getting under his skin like no one else. Taehyung had faced countless rivals over the years, but none had ever irritated him quite like Jungkook.

His thoughts were interrupted by the buzz of his phone. A message from Jungkook lit up the screen.

Jeon Jungkook

✉️Hope you’re not too upset. Business is just business, after all.

Taehyung’s irritation flared anew. He typed back a curt reply, his fingers tapping sharply against the screen.

Kim Taehyung

✉️You’ve crossed the line, Jungkook. Don’t think I’ll forget this.

Jungkook typed a quick reply, his smirk never fading.

Jeon Jungkook

✉️Good. It wouldn’t be as fun if you did.
