"I'm glad you're finally awake, sir."

Taehyung smiled sincerely, looking at the man in a hospital gown, sitting on top of the bed.

His lips still pale and chapped, body seem to be thinner, but all in all he looks fine and recovering which made the brunet's heart swell with joy.

It's Wednesday morning when Taehyung decided to go to the hospital to check on Mr. Jeon who thankfully was able to return to his consciousness after a long while.

He had told Jungkook about his father, the latter seem to be relieved and happy but he didn't try to show it and be obvious.

He just nodded his head and said "That's good." in the lowest voice that Taehyung almost missed it.

However, no matter how hard he tried to convince Jungkook to visit his father, he just shrugged his shoulders and pretended the conversation didn't happen.

This left Taehyung no choice but to visit Mr. Jeon on his own, not wanting to press on the matter too much to Jungkook.

The ravenette isn't ready yet to open his heart to his father, moreso to forgive him.

The pain he had caused him is too much, but Taehyung knows there will come a time that Jungkook will learn to forgive and make amends.

"Thank you, Tae." Mr. Jeon uttered in a raspy voice that he hasn't used for a while. He looked at the brunet fondly, grateful for his presence.

Taehyung smiled in return. He helped out Mr. So in taking care of the older Jeon before going to work in the afternoon.

"How's my son?" Mr. Jeon asked, a hint of longing and sadness flashed in his eyes.

Taehyung smiled meekly. "He's doing good, sir. He's taking care of the things in the company, and he's doing a great job." He uttered with pride.

The older Jeon nodded his head, a soft smile adorning his lips. "That's great news."

In a short moment, Taehyung saw Mr. Jeon stare at nothingness, his thoughts far away. He gazed at the older man for a long while, feeling sad to see the longing in his eyes.

It was already 10 in the morning when Taehyung decided to finally leave. He was fixing his things when the door opened, revealing his least favorite person.

"Thank goodness you're awake!"

Lisa ran towards Mr. Jeon, hugging him so tight Taehyung thought she'll knock his breath off.

"Lisa." Mr. Jeon smiled, tapping the woman by the shoulder.

"I came as soon as I heard the news." She beamed, eagerly taking the empty seat on the left side of the bed.

"How are you feeling?" She asked, concern laced in her voice.

Taehyung watched the two talk with so much familiarity. He could see the fondness in Mr. Jeon's eyes as he laughed at whatever Lisa is saying.

Lisa looked so comfortable in front of the older Jeon. She's talking to him like how a daughter talks to her father.

Taehyung could feel that based on how Mr. Jeon's face lit up from seeing her, he's treating her like she's part of the family.

This shouldn't be a surprise, knowing fully well that Lisa is a childhood friend of Jungkook. Her attachment to his family is way deeper than he could imagine.

"Oh! Secretary Kim is here."

Taehyung was snapped out of his thoughts, hearing that same irritating voice that just creeps under his skin.

"Well, yeah. I'm about to head out though." Taehyung uttered, lifting his things before going to Mr. Jeon's side.

"I'll be going now, sir." He muttered, smiling at the older man.

Mr. Jeon smiled fondly at him. He reached out his hand to clasp Taehyung's own firmly which the latter didn't expect.

"Thank you for looking after my son and helping him." Mr. Jeon sincerely said, eyes staring deeply in his brown orbs.

The brunet shyly smiled, pressing Mr. Jeon's hand and holding him tightly.

"It's nothing, sir." He softly said and was taken aback when Mr. Jeon hugged him tight.

Taehyung felt warm, feeling the older's affection. He suddenly became nostalgic, remembering the warmth of his own father's hugs from Mr. Jeon's tight embrace. He hugged him back as he sincerely whispered.

"Please recover fast."

It didn't appear to Taehyung that Lisa was observing them with her brows knotted on her forehead. She silently watched them with great curiosity.

She knows the older Jeon to be a man who rarely shows affection just to anyone. He didn't even open up to Lisa that easily even after years of being friends with Jungkook.

She had to work for his affection, but now, a mere secretary is getting the same treatment as hers?

As Taehyung finally left, he didn't notice the eyes of Lisa as she stared at him.

Eyes full of doubt and malice.

Taehyung arrived to his work 10 minutes before 11 in the morning. He found Jungkook with his face seriously analyzing the papers on top of his desk.

He only raised his head when he heard the footsteps of the brunet going to his direction.

"Hey." Taehyung smiled, pushing Jungkook's seat a little farther on the desk to make room for him as he sat on his lap.

"Hey." Jungkook greeted back, immediately letting the papers down on the table, arms quickly wrapping around Taehyung's waist.

The brunet stared at his face for a moment before planting a soft kiss in the corner of his lips.

"It's already lunch time. Have you eaten?" Taehyung whispered, eyes scanning Jungkook's face.

The ravenette shakes his head. "I didn't even have my break earlier." He answered, right hand slowly gliding up his back, reaching his brunet locks.

He felt Jungkook's strong hand caress his hair, massaging his scalp as he stared at him.

Without another word, their lips met in a passionate kiss as Jungkook kept on playing with his hair.

It was slow and full of sincerity that made Taehyung's insides flutter in the tenderness of Jungkook's touch.

Everything felt perfect and right as the lovers held each other close, lips connected in a love filled kiss that melted their worries away.

The silence of the room was interrupted by the ringing of the phone in Taehyung's desk, making him break away from the kiss.

"I should answer that." Taehyung whispered as he stood, only to be pulled back on the ravenette's lap where he belongs.

"That could wait."

Jungkook claimed his lips once more, this time with great hunger and wanting. He gripped the brunet on his waist, sensually leaning their bodies together, looking for that friction that could spark a fire.

They were so engrossed with the kiss, long enough for the ringing to stop. They were so lost in each other's arms just like the first time.

However, the phone began ringing again, making Taehyung finally move away from Jungkook.

"I should really get that now." He whispered under his breath.

Jungkook groaned, letting him go to get that call.

"That better be important or else.." Jungkook trailed off, seeing the smug look on his face.

"Or else what?" Taehyung indulged, grinning at his lover.

"Or else I'm going to drag your ass right back on my lap and eat you out." Jungkook said, a naughty smirk forming on his lips.

"In here?" Taehyung challenged.

Jungkook tapped his desk. "In here."

Taehyung bit his lips seductively. "Ooohh, that's tempting." He walked to his desk, hand gripping the phone's handle.

He stared at the ravenette in a flirty manner, biting his lower lip in anticipation.

Jungkook rolled his eyes at the tease. "Why do I feel like you're wishing it to be a nonsense call?" He teased back, making Taehyung smirk.

He lifted the phone, eyes not leaving the ravenette as he listened to the other line.

Taehyung talked to the person on the phone in the softest voice, not letting Jungkook listen to the conversation.

He could see the curiosity in his eyes, almost making him laugh.

"Okay. Thank you." Taehyung finally ended the call.

"So?" Jungkook asked.

"I guess you won't be eating me out for now." Taehyung said in a disappointed voice.

"What's the call about?" Jungkook asked.

"It's from one of the staff of Ms. Cameron. She said the suits will be delivered tomorrow and that they were sorry for the delay." Taehyung answered, finally taking his seat.

The ravenette groaned, remembering the graduation he had to attend to.

"Fuck. I totally forgot about those damned suits." He murmured under his breath.

Jungkook took his phone to check for the calendar, realizing that the event will take place two days from now.

Just a filler.

Love you 💜
