Jungkook parked his car in his personal parking lot and got out of the car. He was hella pissed. He was having a stoic face as he closed the door slowly. May however pissed he was, he will never let his anger out on someone who didn't cause it. He looked at the building and took long strides towards Jeon Consortium. The guards bowed to their boss but Jungkook just passed them without bowing or even passing a smile. That's when the guards knew that the people were just. . . Fucked up.

Jungkook's eyes held fire. A fire that can burn the whole world down. He was angry. All his hardwork which he did from the fragile age of 18 was a fucking joke to his employees. A Fucking Joke. All the sweaty nights, breathless hard work was a Joke. He walked in the corridor with his face showing how pissed their boss was. He walked straight towards the lift ignoring the bows which were passed by the employees. He was angry at himself for trusting the employees so much.

He didn't know that they would use his trust like that. He was ashamed of himself. The sole purpose of starting the Jeon Consortium was getting ruined. His intentions were at gunpoint. Will he be able to make sure that intentions were exceptionally pure? Will he be able to prove that his hard work was true? Will he be able to prove that the Jeon Consortium was a pure building? How? People say, "The money you earn by doing dishonesty with other people makes you drown so deep that even if you put your whole money earned in all these years, you won't be able to climb back out of the pit."

He was having mixed emotions at this point. It was such a thing where he didn't know how he should take actions regarding this. But he was determined to make them know who Jeon Jungkook was. He saw how good Jungkook looked. Now they will see how demon Jungkook looked. He didn't care about his reputation. He cared about this company. The company he made with his sweat and tears. He didn't want it to fall down. No, he won't let that happen anyhow. He reached his cabin and put his bag on the table. He opened the door and took out his parents' frame and looked at his dad and mom.

"I am sorry, Mom and Dad. But, I will make sure to show them how the Jeon Consortium Works. I apologize for my negligence. I will work harder, no matter what it takes", he said with determination and just then entered his secretary who's none other than Park Hyunshik. He came hesitantly inside and bowed to his boss. "Good Morning, Mr.Kim", he greeted with respect and looked at his boss who looked at him with nothing but anger in his eyes. "Is it really a good morning, Park? I don't think so. Sadly, I have to take over the CEO position. You were enjoying it. But, sadly I need to cut your fun off like that", Jungkook mocked with anger. But his voice held nothing just a soft tone but the words were enough of a slap on his beautiful face.

"I-I didn't mea-", "No more excuses, Park. I am not a dumb person to not understand what was going behind my back. I got that with the way you said. I don't want your useless and baseless explanations. Call the heads right away in the conference room. Those who don't come will face consequences," he cut his secretary off as he headed towards the conference room and sat there. Hyunshik knew that everyone fucked up real bad. He never saw Jungkook this angry but he was scary as hell. He obeyed right instant and called everyone going inside the conference room standing beside Jungkook.

15 minutes passed and no one came except Lee Jihyun. Their finance department head. Everyone was enjoying disobeying their boss. He smirked and looked at Jihyun, "Cut everyone's salary to 40725 KRW. Let's see how they don't come now and transfer their current salary to their bank accounts right now. Till they come, send a monthly salary to the workers. Do it", Jungkook said with authority and looked at his wedding ring silently. Hyunshik widened his eyes when he heard him. 40725 KRW only? Wtf. How will they survive in this situation? He seriously is getting many resignation letters from the industry today. He think now jungkook fucked up. Well, they don't know him at all.

In the next 5 minutes, everyone barged in the conference room with letters and their phone in their hands and stood in front of him while slamming their resignation letters on his table and looked at him, "We are resigning, Mr. Jeon. How can you give us only this much money? We worked our ass off the whole month and this is the pay we are receiving? This? You didn't even inform us before cutting our salaries and it's not acceptable according to the norm. Also, we are Experienced and our experience will not allow this much low salary. We are Resigning", they said and waited for Jungkook to plead to get them back in their company. But, Jungkook smirked and looked at them.

"You all are free from the Jeon Consortium. But, if i was in your place, I wouldn't have done this stupidity for real. How can you forget that for appointing a new employee, the company calls your last company where you worked to know your results and if they can trust you or not? Did you just forget this procedure or you are too overconfident that, me, Jungkook will lie to your company? If that is what you are thinking then you are utterly wrong. I will never lie. Let's assume that they didn't ask you but your resume will have your current salary only. What if they ask you about it? Of course, you guys will fake it but don't you think you are underestimating Jeon Consortium's level? This salary of yours will get viral in just a few minutes to every prestigious company out there.

And you think even after that the company won't ask you if what they are saying is true or not? And I am sure the HR department can read faces because that is what they are there for to detect if the man is lying or not. They are experienced. Still, to confirm, they will definitely call in here. Let's assume that they will not call and will give you the job. But you will get less paycheck for starting years since that company hired you recently and by looking at your ages, you are close to getting retired. Raise in your salaries is not going to happen either way. Am I right, Mr. Choi" He finished and looked at Mr. Choi, who was looking like a pale doll right now.

How did he even dare to underestimate their boss? He wasn't a university topper for nothing. A successful businessman for nothing. Business man always sees his profit first. How did he forget that? But still, in past years, Jungkook treated them as a family. That family whom he trusted always. Choi looked at others and then at Jungkook and suddenly a code of conduct rose up in his cunning brain. "You are absolutely right there, Mr. Jeon. But according to the code of conduct of Jeon Consortium, you cannot cut off the salaires without informing us and alerting us. If we made any mistake, you have to first alert us on that and then you can take the actions. This is unfair and against the rules ", he said cockily and smirked.

Jungkook hummed and then looked at him. "You got a point there, Mr. Choi. But you forgot one thing, that the bond you all signed when you joined Consortium. The fifth point of the bond says that if you commit anything that is not in favor of the company even after getting a warning from higher-ups. The owner then can give you any type of punishment and can even demand alimony from you after filing a case against you for bankrupting or almost bankrupting the company. I know, it still says warning. So, for your kind information Mr. Choi. Here, Park is my assistant, the second in charge after me. So, a warning from him behind me means a warning from higher-ups. Also, I was thinking of charging you all 50 Million KRW each after filing a case, shall I do that? Also, cutting your salaries like this is fair since you got warning from Park," He explained calmly and looked at the heads.

They were awestrucked by this move. Jeon Jungkook is really something. They all knelt on the floor and pleaded with him and asked for his forgiveness repeatedly. The stunt they pulled off was really unacceptable and a very dirty move. "Forgive us, Mr. Jeon. Please forgive us this one time. We promise we won't do anything like that again. We are really sorry to pull a dirty move like that. Do not cut off our salaries. We will do anything you want just please don't do this-", "Anything?", "Yes, Sir, anything". Jungkook smirked and looked at them, "I want the work that is pending from 4 days at my desk till 2 PM in the noon. If one minute late, your salary will be halved. And, Mr. Choi. I warned", he said and smirked.

Hyunshik looked at his boss and he was stunned and was. . . Speechless. He didn't have any words to praise his boss's intelligence but he had many questions. Many many questions but he was too frozen to even follow his boss. He snapped out when his boss called him and quickly went away after patting Mr. Choi, comforting him. He went inside the cabin and looked at his boss. "Park, Send Mr. Choi's son 13,000 $ since he is studying there and Mr. Choi won't be able to pay him his monthly expenses. Do it and then we need to decide your salary as well", he spoke and turned on his laptop and started working. Hyunshik went away from there quickly to do the work. He didn't want to get on Mr. Jeon's bad books.

On the other hand, Taehyung and Jimin were coming to Consortium. Jimin gasped after listening to everything Taehyung told him. He looked at the window and sighed. "Why always Jungkook? Shit. He pulled off really well though. Making sure that the seniors don't leave his company. On top of that, he made them kneel down and begged him to get them back together. Jungkookie wasn't a university topper in Business studies for nothing. My kid knows how to pull it off," he smiled and looked at Taehyung who was just driving silently. He sighed, he's never gonna get a compliment from Taehyung.
He still turned towards his soulmate, "Taehyungie, he did the exact thing you told me he would do. Okay, I get it that he lessened the salary of experienced people but what about the one who recently joined and did this shit? Like, what actions will he take against them?"

Taehyung parked the car and got out of the car and was walking inside Jeon Consortium with Jimin beside him. As everyone knew who he was, they stood up and bowed in his respect. But he didn't even glance at them and got inside the elevator to meet his husband. He looked at Jimin who was stk waiting for an answer. He thought as he pressed the button to reach the 16th floor. As they reached, he looked at Jimin and said, " We should give them a bir raise in salaries with a warning note below the message to which everyone takes seriously. Jeon Consortium does pay a lot to employees. After this, they know they won't get a job in the highest paying company which is mine, His husband. So, they will stick to their work more and will show good and squeaky clean results for getting appraisal from their boss", he said as the door opened and they heard rustling of two pairs of feets and a hushed sweet yet stern voice talking.

"Jihyun, give raise to the currently joined employees with a note. You know what to write. I gave you the paper, you have that right?" Jungkook asked as he looked at the male who nodded and he nodded but stopped when he saw two pairs of Black shoes in front of him. He looked up to find none other than his husband and Jimin looking at him. He looked at Jihyun and nodded his head sternly to which he nodded and took his leave. "Jihyun", Jungkook called to which he stopped on the tracks and looked at his boss. Jungkook turned towards him, only showing his side profile, "I need the details on my table at sharp 4 PM of the file I gave you. Am I clear?" He asked as he got a firm and determined yes sir. He nodded and looked in front of him at his husband and Jimin Hyung.

He was immediately engulfed in a hug by Jimin hyung. He hugged back tightly. He needed a hug so badly. He closed his eyes in need of that warmth even more. The warmth which soothed his nerves, gave him confidence and peace at the same time. A safe place. Jimin was like his Yoongi Hyung. Both of them were protective of the younger one. And he always felt safe in their embrace. The embrace gave a fatherly warmth to his heart. His arms tightened against Jimin's back as he hugged him tighter to feel that fatherly warmth which he needed the most as his eyes were tightly shut savoring this feeling for future as well and to treasure it in his heart.

He let go of him soon and smiled a bit at his hyung. The thing he didn't know was that a pair of brown eyes were reading him silently and softly. Without even blinking. Those pairs read it easily. Jungkook never had barriers. He behaved as he originally was. He never faked his emotions. It was his positive point. He never knew how to fake it. His eyes spoke a lot and all truth. He then darted his eyes towards his husband and looked at him through his soft eyes. Those eyes held nothing but just immense love and respect for his husband. Nothing more, nothing less. Love was the only thing that was reflecting in his eyes after looking at the elder's brown ones. They were dilating curiously to find any affection but the way they shone didn't lessen a bit.

He knew, it's just too early to find that emotion in his eyes and he respected Taehyung to his might. He never thought of anything before Taehyung's comfort. His own comfort was secondary to him. His love for Taehyung was deep, pure and just peace. Immense peace and eternal peace. The peace which calmed him down and always made sure he was happy. His soul and heart always smiled as he loved. That love which held no reasons, no expectations and no desires. Just pure love and love. It was just his peace. HIS. He never wanted to be protective or possessive over love.

But the warmth it gave was what he craved and wanted to keep it all by himself. It was his comfort zone. His safe place. By loving Taehyung, he lost himself and always found himself in Taehyung. As crazy as it sounds, Jungkook never expected and will never demand anything in love. Taehyung did respect him and gave him all the comfort he wanted. Everything. A part in his life and his heart. They both tore off their gaze when Jimin cleared his throat a bit and looked at them. "Jungkookie, let's go inside. We need to talk to you about something. Something which is just-"

"Oh my god, Jungkook. You grew up well and smart, huh", a venomous voice spoke as they all darted their gazes towards the man who was dressed up in formal black attire from head to toe. His eyes held nothing but jealousy and fire. Fire to burn Jeon Jungkook to ashes. His pink lips stretched in an exaggerating sweet smile which was nothing but mockery. Jungkook looked at him and smiled softly. He bowed towards the older male softly and looked him in the eyes, which held nothing but respect towards the male, "You raised me, Hyung. Of course, I came out smart", he smiled and replied softly.

Jimin balled his fist looking at the man in front of him. He wanted to beat him so badly but a soft hand on his hand stopped him from doing so. Taehyung looked at the male and read him as well. A cheater, victim roleplayer, jealous and a very very cunning man is what his guts told him. Jungkook then looked at his husband and held his gaze which was on him. Jungkook smiled and looked at the man, "He is my elder sibling. Jeon Junghyun. He is three years older than me and he wasn't able to come to our wedding due to health issues", Jungkook introduced his hyung to his husband. With a subtle smile he moved towards his hyung, "He's my husband, Hyung. Kim Taehyung, CEO of Kim Conglomerates", He introduced his husband softly as he smiled when Taehyung bowed his head a little since Junghyun was older than him.

Junghyun just nodded in acknowledgement, "Uff, poor little Jungkookie flew away from his cage? I will miss that little traumatized Jungkookie though. This bold one is giving weird vibes. That younger one just had a very submissive nature. Ugh, I'll miss torturing you to death Jungkookie", his hyung said as he pouted a bit at the sad fact. Jungkook smiled and looked at him, "My childhood was never enough for you to play with. I knew you encouraged Mr. Choi hyung. I never understand why you are still stuck in that same phase for years. I wish for your growth, hyung", he said softly as he flashed a soft smile. No, there wasn't any hate or any mockery in his smile. Just a simple and soft smile.

He then looked at his husband and smiled and nodded his head to which husband nodded and led him towards the door when he heard the voice again, "uff the tortured tone of yours, jungkook. It always makes sure to satisfy me. It gives me immense peace knowing that you are in torture. I just wish you to divorce your husband and stay with me so that i can torture you for the rest of my life, pretty jungkookie", he said and smirked as jungkook turned towards him and smiled again.
"Thank you for the compliments and wishes, hyung. Your little Jungkookie is grateful to get that. And I was right hyung-"

"Jungkook no, don't do it-", "My childhood unfortunately wasn't enough for you. I should've made myself more and more worthy of torture but what can I do? I lived with you, my hyung, how can i not get his magnificent qualities ", he responded ignoring Jimin's words as he went towards his cabin softly without looking back. Jimin was going to follow him but a hand groped his wrist. Taehyung stopped him from going and nodded reassuringly As he went inside the cabin following Jungkook. He looked at his husband who was sitting on his chair with a frame in his hands and a soft subtle smile on his face. His eyes flickered towards Taehyung and he again smiled softly. He held his husband's wrist in a soft hold and made him sit on his seat as he stood beside him.

Taehyung tried to get off the seat but a soft hand on his shoulder pressured him down to sit on that chair. He looked up to see doe eyes staring at him softly. He held his waist softly and caressed it softly with his fingers, rubbing it softly to which Jungkook smiled. He got up from the chair and took Jungkook towards the couch and brought breakfast for his husband who just stared at him with so much love. Taehyung sat beside him and gave him the plate to which he smiled and ate his breakfast. He could never in his dreams deny Taehyung or not fulfill his wishes. He hummed softly at the taste and looked at his hyung who looked at him with his sharp tiger eyes. He showed a thumbs up and before taking another bite, he passed a glass of juice and the same amount of breakfast to Taehyung since he knew that his hyung didn't eat anything.

Taehyung took it and started eating with Jungkook. Though he was eating, his eyes were always on Jungkook. Studying every emotion his eyes showed at the moment. They both finished soon and cleaned up the messy table and threw the paper dishes and polybags in the dustbin. Taehyung stood up and offered his hand to Jungkook which he gratefully held and got up from his position. He looked at his husband who held his waist and hugged him softly as his hand caressed his back softly giving warmth and comfort which jungkook needed this instant. Jungkook melted in Hyung's arms as he tightened his grip on his waist and just hugged him back tighter. Savoting that masculine scent of Taehyung.

It was refreshing and peaceful. He felt like there was nothing which was bothering him. His problems just vanished magically. He smiled to himself as he felt the hand on his back encouraging him and comforting him as well. He couldn't be more happy feeling this. His anger was still on top for their employees and heads. They didn't do a good job and it was unacceptable for him to forget everything that happened. Taehyung's embrace was where he finally felt all happiness and love. No stress, anger, sadness or any negative emotion was lingering around them. He just wanted this hug to never hand. The comforting hand to never stop on his back. He wanted to feel it. Feel it, forever.

Taehyung broke the hug and then looked at Jungkook carefully, "Jungkook, just trust yourself ", he said in his alluring voice to which his husband nodded softly and then he felt those pure soft lips on his forehead sealing a secret promise to be always there for him. That pure kiss. He closed his eyes in the act of savoring this beautiful interaction in his heart solely to reminisce when he needed this badly. He opened his eyes when he felt the lips getting away from him and then looked at the owner and again hugged him tightly, hiding in his embrace seeking the warmth and comfort for his overwhelming heart. He smiled softly when he felt arms around his waist. He nuzzled softly in elder's neck smiling at himself getting this much love by his hyungie. He was feeling ecstatic.

But he didn't notice how a pair of eyes were glaring at his whole being.
