Taehyung view

It was currently eleven pm. Taehyung was at home, sitting on his bed as he thought about the words jeongguk said to him hours ago. He thought about it all day. Thought about it while he was working on jeongguks portrait. Thought about it during lunch.

Speaking of lunch taehyung decided to meet hoseok tomorrow at the cafe. He missed his bestfriend and of course he wanted to keep him up to date with everything going on. He was Hoping jeongguk would be okay with him taking a longer break.

But anyway,, back to jeongguk.

I mean, special??  Me?? No way. Im not...special, i'm ordinary. He didnt even continue his sentence, just sent me off. What could his words mean?

Enough taehyung, get to bed already, you'll be tired tomorrow.

It was not unusual taehyung was taking to himself. He probably did it all the time. Actually, he did do it all the time, he gets quite embarrassed about it really.

Sleep. Thats what i need. Taehyung shut off the lights of his room, setting his alarm clock until he shuffled into bed, getting himself comfy as he eventually fell asleep.

Jeongguk view

Jeongguk was currently sitting at one of the tables of the canteen. His motive was to get some food for his empty stomach. But his thoughts seemed to stop him as he ditched the food and just sat himself down- thinking about a particular male.

I wasnt wrong. He is special. A special painter. To me. Yes.

Jeongguk sighed, ruffling his hair as he was feeling quite agitated. But why? What he said was the truth was it not?

Maybe hes not Just a special painter. Maybe something more. However, jeongguk couldn't deal with his thoughts so, he grudgingly dunked his spoon into his yogurt, aggressively shoving the spoonful into his mouth.

"fuck Kim taehyung for being a good painter"  jeongguk grumbled, yogurt still in his mouth as his words came out foreign.

The male didnt know of the person who was also in the dark canteen, sitting a few tables away. The person being 'yan ximen'. He was chinese, he came to korea almost a two years ago and he was currently getting a very high pay with him being the CFO (chief financial officer) . He was very proud of his place, making him think he was the best which triggered jeongguk to the fullest because of course, jeongguk was the best. In his eyes and everyone elses.

When ximen heard about the newbie in the office (taehyung)  he got mad, he couldnt just allow another person to enter the company out of the blue, also, it irritated ximen because he didnt know who the newbie was or what his title is at the company.

But now he knew thanks to jeongguk stupidly talking to himself.

"hm, Kim taehyung huh? Lets see whats so good about you." Ximen sneered, a scowl on his face as he walked away not so swiftly.

Jeongguk, having sharp eyes, managed to see a figure exiting the canteen, and he knew it was Ximen as he could tell by the shadow of his hair. He was a CEO, he wasnt stupid.

"what could he possible want at this time?" jeongguk muttered to himself confused, but nevertheless ate another spoonful of yogurt.

"this isnt bad actually. Hm." jeongguk raised his brow in approval, taking another mouthful as he smiled shortly to himself.

THE NEXT DAY - 12PM

taehyung view

Taehyung was on his way to meet hoseok. A bright smile adorning his face as skipped over to open the door of the cafe. Thankfully jeongguk had let him leave to meet hoseok.

"hobi hyuuuung?!" taehyung yelled (for the first time ever) as he searched for a certain brunette.

Hoseok smiled as he rushed over to give his bestfriend a hug, he'd missed him so much.
"tae! I missed you!  How is your new job hm?"

"it's uh great" taehyung breathed, he sat down, fingers nervously tapping the table.

"hobi?" taehyung muttered. Hoseok looked worriedly over to taehyung, also sitting down as he raised a brow signalling for the male to speak.

"he — well, i-im not really,  how do i say this" taehyung muttered the last part under his breath, causing hoseok to become even more worried as he knew something was wrong.
"jeongguk, my boss, is basically paying me for painting things i want to paint - it has nothing to do w-with the company - and  he called me special!"

"so?" hoseok muttered confused, not getting why taehyung was so stressed.

"what do you mean so? Isnt it weird hyung?  My job is not really... a job..." Taehyung whispered to mostly himself in slight shock. He felt so greedy. He was getting paid by jeongguk.  And for what?  Doing what he loves most while others work their ass off everyday. 

"i-its so wrong i- i cant but i want to t-too... He said to me i couldnt leave and i said i wouldnt but i dont know now? What do i do? Stay? Leave?  Oh god hobi t-this is so bad-"

"taehyung!" hoseok cut off the ranting male.  Chuckling at his behaviour. "it's all fine. You're fine. It is a job. Okay? Nothing is wrong, i can tell you're happy there ya know?  You came in smiling so widely ten minutes ago" hoseok laughed as he nudged taehyungs shoulder who pouted at the action.

"but i was happy to see you" taehyung whispered, still pouting as he looked down. He knew he was slightly lying. He really was happy because of jeongguk. Because of his job.

"yeah sure okay" hoseok rolled his eyes playfully. He grabbed taehyungs hands with his own. Smiling softly at the male.

"taehyung do you like what you are doing right now? At the company?"

"y-yeah. I do."  taehyung smiled softly. He really did enjoy it. And he enjoyed jeongguks presence too.

"then you should stay" hoseok declared with a final tone in his words. He stood up. Taehyung doing so after. "you're amazing yeah? Now go get your ass back there!" hoseok laughed, making taehyung giggle as he quickly hugged the brunette, running out of the cafe yelling a loud "thank you!"

Jeongguk view

Jeongguk was making his way to grab some lunch from the sandwhich shop across the building. He put on his his long coat and beanie ready to go until a familiar figure bumped against his. He heard a small squeal and he immedietly knew it was taehyung.

"taehyung? You're in a rush, how did meeting hoseok go?" jeongguk asked simply, walking towards the elevator, taehyung also following as he wanted to talk with jeongguk.

"uh it was good" he muttered, frowning as he looked jeongguk up and down, realising he was going out.

"did you have lunch?" jeongguk asked,  now pressing the elevator button wating for the doors to open.

"uhm no" taehyung spoke quietly, his lips pressed together as he looked at jeongguk. He was standing outside the elevator, jeongguk now inside who looked dead in the eye  at taehyung causing him to look down.

"well. Come with me" jeongguk suggested. Hands in his pockets as he stared at taehyung expectantly.

"i c-cant jeongguk-"

Taehyung squealed as he was cut off by jeongguk who grabbed his wrist and pulled him into the elevator, taehyungs hands on jeongguks chest as he gasped softly.

"you're coming with me" is all jeongguk said. Taehyung removed his hands from jeongguks chest, having them beside him only for jeongguk to hold his hand. He looked wide eyed at the male, blushing.

"j-jeongguk?" taehyung whispered. Jeongguk didnt reply, instead,leaned over to press the buttons to close the doors. The two now alone.

It was silent. Jeongguk acting calm and neutral, however, taehyung was a blushing mess. Why was jeongguk holding his hand?

His hand feels nice and soft.
What are you thinking jeon???

Something was telling jeongguk not to let go. So being the bold man he is, he held on tighter on to taehyungs hand. Earning him  a small gasp from the male.

"w-where are we going?"  taehyung asked quietly, biting on his lip as he looked up at jeongguk.

"you'll see" is all jeongguk replied with as he dragged taehyung out and lead him across the road to the sandwhich shop.

"is this where you have your lunch? What about all those high end restraunts?" taehyung questioned, smiling in delight as he saw the different sandwhiches the shop offered.

"well yeah i lied" jeongguk admitted, looking at taehyung briefly hiding a small  smile by seeing taehyung so happy.

They walked in.  Hand still in hand as they scanned the menu. Jeongguk ordered the same chicken sandwhich like always as taehyung ordered a grilled cheese.

They sat down, eating the tasty food as taehyung savoured in the flavour. Yes he had sandwhiches before but never as good as this. He thanked jeongguk mentally for taking him here.

"you're glad i took you right?" jeongguk spoke, wiping his mouth as he was finished eating.

"uh huh" taehyung nodded his head also wiping his mouth. "was really nice. Thanks" taehyung shyly admitted. Playing with his fingers once again.

"i know. I'll bring you here from now on" jeongguk requested, his tone coming out more demanding that nice to which he didnt care.

"oh. Wow uh okay" taehyung said, surprised at jeongguks offer. He really did like these sandwhiches though.

"great. You done? Lets go." jeongguk cleared his throat, standing up as he placed his beanie on his head. He got the rubbish and threw it in the bin.  He Looked at taehyung silently telling him to leave first. Just as they were about to cross the roads jeongguk grabbed taehyungs hand once again.

The younger looked up confused, jeongguk glanced down at him with a nonchalant look on his face.

"what? I just need you by my side so you dont get run over" jeongguk shrugged looking left and right to see if cars were coming.

"i wont get run over" taehyung muttered, pouting as he also looked left and right.

"yeah uh ive seen they way you cross roads taehyung" jeongguk scoffed dragging a pouting taehyung across the road.

Hm. Cute. 
StoOOP

Shaking his head, jeongguk sighed walking through the doors of his building only to be met with the one person he did not want to see.

Yan Ximen.
