chapter - 2
Jungkook was focused on the files spread before him, his sharp eyes scanning every detail with practiced precision.
Yet, even as he concentrated on the weighty matters of his empire, the gentle movement of Taehyung in his lap did not go unnoticed.
Taehyung, still nestled against Jungkook, began to stir in his sleep, his delicate features scrunching slightly as he shifted.
Instinctively, he nuzzled closer, rubbing his face against Jungkook's shoulder in a soft, sleepy gesture. Slowly, Taehyung's eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the light of the room.
As his vision cleared, the first thing he saw was Jungkook already gazing down at him, his once icy eyes now filled with a warmth reserved only for the one he cherished most.
Jungkook voice laced with tenderness, a stark contrast to the cold authority he wielded moments before.
Taehyung nodded, a sleepy smile spreading across his lips.
kim Taehyung
"Good morning, marito,"
He murmured, his voice soft and affectionate as he leaned up to press a gentle kiss on Jungkook's lips.
Jungkook’s heart swelled at the simple yet profound gesture, his own lips curving into a smile as he returned the kiss with equal love.
Jimin, who had been standing quietly beside the table, couldn’t help but roll his eyes at the display of affection between his best friend and the mafia boss.
Seeing Taehyung’s sleepy morning wishes, he couldn’t resist commenting.
jimin
“Tae, it’s 1 in the afternoon. Morning is long gone.”
At the sound of Jimin’s voice, Taehyung’s eyes snapped open wider in surprise. He quickly turned to face his best friend, his expression lighting up with excitement.
He suddenly energized as he scrambled off Jungkook’s lap and threw his arms around Jimin in a tight hug.
kim Taehyung
“Were you here when I came in?”
Taehyung asked, his voice full of curiosity as he looked up at Jimin. Jimin chuckled, returning the hug with a fond smile.
jimin
“Of course I was here, but your eyes were only on your husband.”
Taehyung pouted, his cheeks flushing slightly.
He whined, a hint of playful embarrassment in his voice.
Jimin laughed warmly, patting Taehyung’s back.
jimin
“I’m just telling you the truth, Tae,”
Jimin is Taehyung’s best friend and his husband's personal assistant and his hyung. Who would be more perfect for this job than his best friend.
kim Taehyung
“So, the plan to meet at Jin hyung’s place for dinner is still on, right?”
Taehyung eyes sparkling with anticipation. Jimin nodded, grinning.
jimin
“Of course, it’s on. But make sure you come on time, or you know how Jin hyung gets.”
kim Taehyung
“Yeah, I know. He’ll never let me hear the end of it.”
Both of them burst into laughter, sharing a moment of lightheartedness that seemed to brighten the entire room.
Meanwhile, Jungkook was absorbed in the files spread across his desk, focusing on the matters at hand. These were the same documents Jimin had brought in earlier, and Jungkook’s sharp eyes were scanning each page with the intensity that defined his leadership.
As the conversation between Taehyung and Jimin continued, Taehyung subtly gestured towards Jimin, as if silently asking a question. Jimin, ever perceptive, simply nodded in response, understanding without the need for words.
With that silent exchange complete, Taehyung’s attention returned to their earlier topic. He and Jimin resumed talking excitedly about the upcoming dinner.
After finishing his conversation with Jimin, Taehyung walked over to Jungkook, who was still immersed in his work. Without a word, Taehyung gently settled himself on Jungkook’s lap, instantly drawing his husband’s attention. Jungkook looked up, his intense eyes softening as they met Taehyung’s.
Jeon Jungkook
“So, what’s the plan?”
kim Taehyung
“Nothing much. I’m going home. I have a painting to complete, and with the exhibition just around the corner, I want to finish all my work before that.”
Jungkook wrapped his arms around Taehyung, pulling him into a tight hug.
Jeon Jungkook
“Do you really have to go?”
Taehyung nodded, a gentle smile playing on his lips.
kim Taehyung
“Yes, kook. And don’t forget, we have to go to Jin hyung’s for dinner tonight. I want to finish the painting before that.”
Jungkook sighed, then leaned in to kiss Taehyung, a lingering expression of his affection.
Taehyung returned the kiss, then pulled back slightly to remind him.
kim Taehyung
“So, Caro, don’t forget the plan.”
Jungkook kissed him again as if sealing a promise between them. With a soft chuckle, Taehyung stood up from Jungkook’s lap and turned to Jimin.
kim Taehyung
“Jimin hyung, I’m leaving. Let’s meet tonight.”
jimin
“Okay, but who’s going to drop you at home?”
Before Taehyung could respond, Jungkook answered.
Jeon Jungkook
“Noah is going to drop you.”
Taehyung sighed softly, knowing there was no point in arguing.
Once Jungkook decided something, there was little chance of changing his mind.
He understood that something must have happened for Jungkook to insist on someone accompanying him. He made a mental note to ask Jimin about it later, but now wasn’t the time.
Taehyung agreed, resigning himself to Jungkook’s protectiveness.
kim Taehyung
“I’m leaving, guys.”
He waved at both of them, a soft smile on his face, before heading out the door.
As Taehyung left, Jungkook and Jimin exchanged a glance, each understanding the unspoken concern in the other’s eyes.
Jungkook watched the door for a moment longer, his expression thoughtful, before returning to his work, already counting down the hours until he could be with Taehyung again.
As Taehyung left, Jungkook turned his attention back to the files, but his thoughts were still on his beloved husband. With a slight smirk, he glanced at Jimin, who was busy organizing the remaining documents.
Jeon Jungkook
“You know, Jimin,”
Jungkook began, his tone carrying a subtle edge.
Jeon Jungkook
“I know every little thing and every step mia vita takes. So, I also know what happened yesterday.”
Jimin, unfazed by Jungkook’s words, offered a sweet smile. He had expected this.
After all, Jungkook was not just the leader of Europe’s most powerful mafia but a man who missed nothing when it came to the safety and well-being of Taehyung.
jimin
“Oh, what happened yesterday?”
Jimin replied innocently, trying to play along, though he knew it was futile.
Jungkook’s eyes narrowed slightly, but there was a hint of amusement in his gaze.
Jeon Jungkook
“Don’t play coy, Jimin. I know you and Taehyung tried to keep it under wraps, but nothing escapes me.”
Jimin let out a small chuckle, knowing there was no point in denying anything further.
jimin
“Well, you are the leader of the organization for a reason.”
Jungkook gave a satisfied nod, then glanced at the files.
jimin
“Are the files done?”
Jimin smoothly changing the subject.
Jeon Jungkook
“Yes, they’re done,”
Jungkook confirmed, his attention momentarily shifting back to business.
Jimin collected the files from the desk.
jimin
“I’ll be meeting Yoongi in about an hour, so Luca will be here to assist you while I’m gone. Consider me off-duty until tonight.”
Jungkook nodded, his mind already turning back to the matters at hand.
