He Doesn’t Smile
The office buzzed softly. Keyboards clicked. Printers hummed. Light chatter-until it stopped.
Heavy footsteps echoed across the marble floor
Jungkook sat quietly at his new desk, right outside the CEO's glass office Everything around him was spotless. Intimidating Cold-like the man who owned the top floor. Files were stacked beside him. His hands trembled slightly as he finished typing a memo.
Jeon Jungkook(Beta)
*He's coming. Everyone changes when he walks by. I should too, right?*
Kim Taehyung(Alpha)
*Tailored suit. Silent expression. Unreadable eyes. Sharper stare*
He didn't acknowledge anyone-but his gaze lingered on Jungkook for a second too long.
Random Employee
(Whispering) : There goes the Ice King..."
Jeon Jungkook(Beta)
(Jungkook bit his lip) Why did his heart skip when those eyes met his?
Jungkook knocked softly on the glass door
Jeon Jungkook(Beta)
(softly): Sir, Your meeting schedule for the day at 11:00 with the JNH clients, and the investor's call at-
Kim Taehyung(Alpha)
(interrupting, coldly): Don't repeat what I already know. ❄
Jeon Jungkook(Beta)
(swallows, stays polite): Yes, sir.
Kim Taehyung(Alpha)
Your shirt's wrinkled. ❄
Jeon Jungkook(Beta)
(froze, Ears burning, Embarrassed.)
Jeon Jungkook(Beta)
I didn't… I didn't have time to iron it this morning, Sorry.
Taehyung looked up at him for the first time. His eyes dropped to the faint coffee stain on Jungkook's cuff.
Kim Taehyung(Alpha)
Buy a backup shirt. Keep it in your drawer. ❄
Jeon Jungkook(Beta)
(nodding): Yes, sir.
He stepped out. Behind the glass, Taehyung watched the space Jungkook had stood in
Kim Taehyung(Alpha)
*He didn't flinch. Most people do*
A voice rang out behind Jungkook.
Jimin (Omega)
There you are, baby!
Jeon Jungkook(Beta)
(Jumped)
Jimin black hair, tight jeans, chaotic omega energy wrapped his arms around him.
Jimin (Omega)
I was in the area. Thought I'd come bless this haunted place.
Jeon Jungkook(Beta)
(laughing): You're going to get me fired.
Jimin (Omega)
Please. You look hot in this office vibe. Where here's the CEO? Tall, rich, emotionally constipated?
Jungkook smiled, But the air shifted.
The glass door opened. Kim Taehyung walked past them-silent, but paused his eyes On Jimin. Then sharply on Jungkook
Kim Taehyung(Alpha)
*They know each other well. He relaxes around him*
Kim Taehyung(Alpha)
*But why do I feel that pull again?*
Kim Taehyung(Alpha)
*Something's wrong with this Beta.. *
Kim Taehyung(Alpha)
*It's not concern. It's instinct. I don't like instincts can't explain*
Jungkook escaped to the rooftop. Fresh air, A home made sandwich.
Jimin sat beside him, legs dangling over the edge. Talking non-stop without noticing Junkook.
Jeon Jungkook(Beta)
*I wasn't hired to please his eyes. Just do the job. That's all..*
Jeon Jungkook(Beta)
*But that stare... It didn't feel cold. It felt-sad.*
The office was winding down.
Jungkook gathered his things until-
Kim Taehyung(Alpha)
Inside Now. ❄
Jungkook entered. Taehyung handed him a file.
Kim Taehyung(Alpha)
I want you to handle this personally, No errors.
Jeon Jungkook(Beta)
Yes, sir.
Kim Taehyung(Alpha)
Was your friend comfortable in my company building? ❄
Jeon Jungkook(Beta)
(stiffens): He was just checking in.
Kim Taehyung(Alpha)
Make sure he doesn't do it again. ❄
Jeon Jungkook(Beta)
(A pause) Is that a rule, sir?
Kim Taehyung(Alpha)
(Gaze darkened) It's a warning. ❄
Jungkook said nothing. He left the room, silent-but his heart raced.
Taehyung's Office After Hours Lights off. Everyone gone, Taehyung stared at Jungkook's resume.
He runs his fingers over the paper, eyes stopping at the word
Kim Taehyung(Alpha)
Beta.. right?
Kim Taehyung(Alpha)
Then why does your scent change when you're nervous?
Kim Taehyung(Alpha)
Why does it make me... respond?
Jungkook sat at his desk. Laptop open. He typed a message-but didn't send it.
Jeon Jungkook(Beta)
To: Eomma
Day two. He's... different. Cold. But not cruel.
Jeon Jungkook(Beta)
I think he sees things he doesn't say. I think I do that too. Maybe that's dangerous.
Jeon Jungkook(Beta)
(Deleted the message)

Some people speak with words. Others with silence.
