Ignore mistakes, please

Third person P.O.V

"Beautiful"

That single word kept on echoing in Taehyung's mind. It wasn't like he never heard that word before but hearing that from Jungkook's lips was a different feeling.

Biding his goodbye to the other, he silently made his way to his house and to his room. His daze was still lingering but he managed to complete his daily routine and finally plopped on his bed.

"Why my heart fluttered when I heard it from him... No way.." He silently scolded himself for his weird feeling, trying hard to ignore the loud thumps all over again.

"Is there any hope?" Dr. Jung asked his friend who was taking a look at Mrs. Kim's reports.

"If I say.. there is only a 10 percent chance after surgery.. will you still do it?" Mr. Byun asked with disappointment in his voice. Hoseok felt for her but more for the boy who was still holding on with high hope for his mother. 

"I think yes. We should try even if there is only a 1 percent chance. Is her nervous system that much broken?" Hoseok asked bewildered, rubbing his hands over his jeans. 

"Yeah.. it's a really rare case though. By the way what about the boy? Why you are so much concerned about him?"

"I don't know, I just want to help him, just want to see him happy. You can't believe that last time he even cried in front of me.. he looked so broken.. so fragile.. that I want to protect him."

"Woah, man you are sounding so whipped~" Hoseok smacked his friend's arm harshly, rolling his eyes. 

"Try to be serious." He gave Byun a death glare, dismissing the topic instantly. 

"Ok ok"

"Taehyung?? Taehyung?????" Mrs. Choi tried to grab his attention when he was spacing out for the nth time.

"Oh yes.. I am here." The said male said, blinking rapidly.

"It didn't look like that." She raised one brow.

"Um.. well you need something?" Taehyung asked to change the topic.

"Yes. Today a special VIP customer is coming. He already booked the whole VIP section. So I just wanted to inform you to check it before 8 pm." She informed him while taking a look at some papers.

He just hummed in response and went to the section to check the decorations and further settings. The whole day passed quickly for him and at night when it was about 8 pm, the rich man entered the hotel and to Taehyung's surprise the face was so much familiar to him.

"Hello, Mr. Kang. Welcome to my restaurant." Taehyung snapped out of his thoughts when he heard Jin's voice.

Mr. Kang? Isn't he the same person... that CEO who was trying to...shit. What is he doing here?

"TAEHYUNG??" Mrs. Choi whisper-yelled, nudging his arm to get his attention. Shaking his head, he gulped thickly and turned to look at her.

"Go behind him," She pointed out, pushing him inside the VIP section.

"What?" Taehyung muttered but somehow he entered the section and met with those lust-filled eyes of Kang.

"Oh, SeokJin, isn't it your restaurant tradition that your manager will serve VIPs?" He asked while boring his eyes on Taehyung who just rolled his eyes in response, keeping a good distance. 

"Yes yes. Mr. Kang.. or should I call you uncle?" Jin chirped.

Uncle?? What the hell is happening??

"Taehyung, come here. Meet our VIP guest, Mr. Kang. Mr. Kang, he is our manager.. Kim-"

"Kim Taehyung," Kang said in a rather deep voice, the glint in his eyes not so hidden from the said male.

"Yeah. Um, you can order him whenever you want." With that Jin left a little surprised by Kang's behavior and especially by the way he was staring at Taehyung but shrugged it off.

Taehyung was just standing there but then finally decided to do his work.

"Do you need anything, sir?" He surely was annoyed just by the look other was giving him but anyhow he had to do that.

"Sure. Come here and take my order." Taehyung tried his best not to retort to him.

"Yes?" He asked when he was standing right in front of Kang.

Kang quickly grabbed his hand and pulled him forward, causing him to fall on his body with the harsh and sudden impact.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" Taehyung yelled at him, pushing him harshly, standing up to get away from the burning touch.

"Shhh.. You can't talk like that to your VIP customer.. isn't it like that?" Finding the situation amusing, Kang smirked.

"You are so disgusting." With that Taehyung stomped out of the section, feeling his blood boiling.

"I am not serving him.." Gritting his teeth, Taehyung spat in a harsh tone to Mrs. Choi who was totally surprised by his outburst.

"But.. what happened??"

"I. Am. Not. Going. To. serve!" Taehyung was literally fuming with anger but his anger fell when he heard a soft voice.

"It's ok, Tae. If you are not comfortable then I will send someone else." Jin patted his shoulder with a small smile and gestured for Mrs. Choi to come along.

Taehyung was taking deep breaths to calm down before taking some steps toward Jin's office only to halt near the door on hearing the hushed voice.

"He is saying that he won't pay us if Taehyung won't go there," Jin sighed, scratching his temple, trying his best to talk in a lower voice. 

"Then what should we do now Sir?"

"I don't know why he is acting so strange. I had seen him in my Father's office many times but today he is like a totally different person."

"How much he paid sir?"

"He paid double.. but the problem is that he is threatening me that he won't sign the new deal with my father," Jin sounded very disappointed, and Taehyung heard that all.

Oh no.. if I won't go, that brat will cause a loss to the restaurant.. as well as to his father's company.. what a nuisance!

Taehyung finally opened the door while hanging his head low.

"I am sorry Hyung. I will serve him... after all, it's my job, and I am getting paid for that." Taehyung had to put back his own issues behind for the sake of his hyung who was oblivious to the problem. So, he decided to say that with a smile.. that was fake of course.

"It's ok Tae-"

"No Hyung.. it's not. I will be fine... after all, you are here.. with me." This time his smile was genuine and Jin also smiled.

After gathering some mental calmness, Taehyung finally entered the section again. Kang was just busy with a call, so he silently made his way to his table.

"So you are here. Aww you are standing like a cute puppy.. aren't you just so cute?" He laughed, making Taehyung just tighten his fists, digging his nails into his palms.

"Ah! You know it was a little bit hard to find you.. but see I finally did it. Kim Taehyung.. you will regret that rejection. But if you still agree.. offer is still available.. only for you." Kang's smirk was so irritating when he breathed out it all while standing and moving closer to Taehyung.

"I am sorry Sir. But that job isn't of my standards" This time Taehyung smirked when he saw a frown on Kang's face.

"Now.. will you order anything or should I go back to see other customers?" Taehyung made a bored expression crossing his arms on his chest.

Kang huffed but somehow he ordered some food and when the waiters left the food. Taehyung started serving quickly as he just wanted to end this night as soon as possible. To his surprise, Kang didn't interrupt him.. well not physically as he was still boring his eyes on Taehyung's body.

"Taehyung??" Both males turned back to see a figure entering the section with a small stretch of lips. Taehyung smiled unconsciously while Kang's smirk dropped.

"Mr. Kang? Long time no see." Jungkook cocked his brow, acknowledging the older male.

"So you are the customer who is trapping him for so long. I was planning for a good dinner but see... you ruined this all." He added while trudging towards Taehyung, who was feeling safer than before.

"Mr. Jeon?" Kang's voice was small contrary to his previous rebuts. Taehyung was surprised at his reaction but he kept quiet.

"Well... I think I need him for some time and I really hope you won't mind as he already served you, so you enjoy the dinner.. quietly" Jungkook stated with a smirk... forcing on the last word. He took Taehyung's hand in his own and dragged him out of the section or should be said, out of the restaurant, leaving a dumbfounded Kang.

Once they were out of the restaurant, both burst into laughter.

"Oh my God.. did you see his face?" Jungkook said in between his laughter, shaking his head.

"But honestly I am surprised. How?" Taehyung took a deep breath after controlling his laughter and mumbled. 

"Well, his company was at loss for some reason and he is in debt to my company, this is somehow masked from his other partners to maintain the proud of his company.. so it's simple." Jungkook shrugged with a smirk.

"Ok it explains a lot.. but how did you come inside?" He again questioned as he was confused but happy at the same time.

"Oh.. as I said before, I was planning for a dinner with you, and when Mrs. Choi informed me about that... I just barged in." Jungkook smiled when Taehyung nodded lightly, focusing on the words 'dinner and you'.

"Thanks"

"Hmm?"

"I said thanks"

"For what?" Jungkook leaned on the bench that was placed in front of the restaurant, a small smile on his lips.

"I was afraid of him.." Taehyung's voice was small that caught Jungkook's attention.

"Afraid and you??" Jungkook tried to joke but Taehyung seemed serious.

"Yeah... I met him at my interview at his company.. and my first expression wasn't even near good. And today he said that he kind of chased me after that."

"Chase? Is he a stalker? What the hell.. is he even a CEO?" Jungkook continued his rambling but stopped when he felt Taehyung scooting a little closer to him when a wave of cool breeze hit his petite frame.

"You are warm," Taehyung mumbled, closing his eyes, and leaning his head on the bench. His face was glowing in the yellow lights of the restaurant.. his long lashes, and his smooth and shiny black locks were so attractive to the spectator. 

"You know Jungkook.. I was alone... since ever," Taehyung started with his closed eyes while Jungkook was just watching him so profoundly.

"Being alone was the only thing I was best at. I never had a friend in my whole life..." He opened his eyes and turned his head to look at Jungkook who was already looking at him.

"But then I met someone. I thought that he was like everyone... like those who just had lust but I was wrong.. that person was different. He told me to let him be close to me and unconsciously, I broke the walls around my heart. I opened the door for that person and now I am just hoping for good, anticipating how it will go." Taehyung said with a smile and Jungkook quickly grabbed his hand that was placed on his thigh, and slowly crossed his fingers in Taehyung's hand.

"Your hopes will come true.. you will find happiness.. the happiness you deserve." The raven-haired said in a smooth voice and felt his heart swell when Taehyung intertwined his fingers, locking their fingers together like the perfect puzzle pieces.

Taehyung was feeling something new in his heart, he was feeling safe and happy with Jungkook, and was enjoying the moment in pure happiness, something he really never felt before. 

"Taehyung.. you can go home!" Their moment got interrupted by Mrs. Choi's voice who looked more excited than him.

"Let's go, I will drop you." Taehyung nodded and he didn't even bother to change his uniform. Drive to his house was quiet as Taehyung was leaning on his seat with closed eyes.

"Do you live alone?" Jungkook asked when he stopped the car. Taehyung just hummed in response before leaving the car, gently shutting the door close behind him.

"Good night, Taetae." Jungkook chirped like a child when he closed the car door causing Taehyung to turn back to witness his bunny smile.

That thump was back again, making his heart flutter at the sweet smile directed at him.

"Good night, bunny." With that, he entered his dark house leaving Jungkook who was smiling like a teenager.

Taehyung again got a gift from his guard. It was a beautiful diamond bracelet with engravings of love.

"For the person who deserves lots of love in his life" 

The note spreads a smile on his face but he thought that it must be quite expensive. So he decided to return that. After informing Mrs. Choi he left for Jeon's company.

He mentioned that he is a friend of Jungkook and the receptionist informed him about Jungkook's office. Just when he was about to knock on the door, he heard some voices...

"You are so beautiful baby girl... so so beautiful.." The voice was of Jungkook and Taehyung was just standing there, trying hard not to believe, he also heard a girl's voice saying some inappropriate words. Soon the door opened and a girl came out with little messy hair and some marks on her neck.

She just smirked and stomped out to the elevator. Taehyung's heartbeat quickened in his thoughts but got out of the daze.

"Taehyung?" He heard Jungkook's voice, slowly turning back he saw him setting his suit. Taehyung's expression turned blank, he stepped forward, handed the box to Jungkook, and run away without any word, completely ignoring his name called by Jungkook.

°○°○°○°○°○°○°○°○°○°

For the whole day, Taehyung was silent, his smile was long gone and Mrs. Choi felt a drastic change in his attitude. It was like Taehyung from a few days ago was back.

"Long time no see dude," Sehun's loud voice echoed, catching Taehyung's attention as well. He turned back to see a whole group of friends laughing and chatting while Jungkook was just staring at him. He didn't check his phone as Jungkook called him many times but he didn't bother to even decline the calls.

He silently entered the section to take orders and to his luck, the section was empty except for that friend circle. After taking orders from all as Jungkook didn't speak and just kept observing Taehyung, when he turned to leave, Jungkook grabbed his hand.

"What's wrong with you, Mr. Jeon?" Taehyung snapped at him, sounding cold.

"That's what I want to ask.. why are you ignoring me? What happened?"

"What happened?? Seriously?? You are asking as if nothing happened in the morning. Then yeah, I didn't hear anything... I didn't see that girl leaving your office... I didn't see your messy condition.. nothing happened. Will you excuse me?" His voice was filled with anger that caught everyone's attention.

Wait.. why he is acting like that? He mentioned the girl.. is he.. jealous?

Chanyeol was thinking while observing Taehyung who was heavily breathing after his outburst.

"Why you are acting so strange?" Jungkook asked in a low voice trying to take Taehyung's hand but Taehyung yanked his hand.

"I don't know. I really don't know what's wrong with me." Everyone's eyes narrowed the way a very unbothered male was literally shaking out of whatever he was feeling at the moment. 

"No, actually it's you, you made me like this. You said that I deserve to be close to someone. I deserve love and a person who can love me and see I am here again.. no one can love me like that." Taehyung's voice broke as his tears were already falling on his face. His words were making everyone confused.

"Hey.. look here.. you deserve love and that's what I was trying to give you," Jungkook softly whispered cupping his cheeks, and this time Taehyung let him do that. He was feeling so weak under Jungkook's touch... he let it out.

"It hurts.. this feeling hurts Jungkook." Taehyung was silently crying and his condition made everyone feel sad... specially Chanyeol who was first surprised by the deep words but now, it was getting clear. 

"I never get this feeling.. never ever.. but I think you made me weak, you made me like this.. your care made me like this.." Jungkook wiped his tears and hugged him gently, leaving a few subtle pecks on the brown hair.

"Tell me about it.. let's feel it together Tae. I am here for you." Squeezing the petite frame in his hold gently, Jungkook said caressing his hair, ignoring his friends who were just watching him with hawk eyes but their eyes widened in surprise when they heard Taehyung's next words.

"I think...

I like you, Jungkook."
