Twisted Desires - Taekook - Masking

Masking

The presentation started, slides changed, voices spoke, notes were taken.

Taehyung contributed where needed, rebutted when necessary, led with his usual surgical control.

But beneath his pristine exterior, a storm brewed.

That man. That… assistant.

Every time he glanced up, he could feel eyes on him. Or maybe it was his own projecting.

When their eyes finally met briefly, silently, something in Taehyung’s chest stuttered.

The man’s lips curved ever so slightly at the corners. Not a smile. Just a flicker of awareness.

Taehyung immediately looked back at his notes. Gritted his teeth.

He hated how easily this could happen. One glance, and his mind betrayed him.

While the team from Horizon reviewed strategic projections, Taehyung fought to remain grounded.

He scribbled notes that made no sense. His pen moved just to keep his hands busy.

Every nerve in his body itched with temptation.

He wanted to look again. To stare.

To drink in the curve of that man’s jaw, the tattoos faintly peeking from beneath his shirt sleeve,

The rings on his fingers that screamed not safe, not boring, not Hana.

But he didn’t. He couldn’t.

Because Taehyung had trained himself not to want.

He'd mastered it over the years this constant war between who he was and who he pretended to be.

Each time desire sparked, he smothered it with duty.

When his eyes wandered, he punished himself later by imagining the fallout, the disgrace, the scandal.

And now, here he was. Sitting in a million-dollar boardroom with power humming beneath his fingertips

And unable to stop himself from wondering what that man’s mouth would taste like.

someone

Mr. Kim?

Taehyung snapped back.

The Horizon rep was watching him expectantly.

Kim Taehyung

Apologies. Please continue.

He nodded along as the conversation picked up, but his pulse hadn’t settled.

Not until the meeting ended.

Not until that man stood, gathered his things, and walked out without looking back.

Taehyung’s heart thudded.

His assistant leaned in.

Minhee - Tae's Assistant

Final contract terms were well received. Horizon should sign by end of week.

He nodded again, but barely registered her words.

He wasn’t thinking about the deal.

He was thinking about how easy it had been, how easy it always was to almost fall.

To want what he could never have.

To stare across a table and imagine a different life, a different self.

And how exhausting it was to fight that every single day.
