"Whatever your saying doesn't explain the decrease in the curve, its not doing well, the product is clearly making a loss."

"As it should Mrs Kwon."

"Excuse me." The woman said, slightly raising her voice, anger presented in her face. The other twenty one members presented for the meeting sat in silence except for Namjoon who swiveled in his chair at the head of the table, constantly tapping on the table with his pen. He eyed the omega at the other end of the table, the light from the projector he was presenting on reflecting on his face, Namjoon thought he looked ethereal, glowing almost.

He watched keenly as the omega gripped tightly to the folder on his hand, he was clearly getting angry over Mrs Kwon's constant input, she rudely interrupted, stating another alternative on everything the omega was suggesting. She was one of the senior board members Namjoon hadn't replaced yet, she was clearly trying to exert dominance over the younger staff, which she had declared inexperienced, and Seokjin wasn't on his luck today as he reported on a project he had taken charge of when he started.

Namjoon was surprised the omega didn't cave in to the woman's demands or cower at her glaring, he fought back, facts rolling off his tongue like he had practiced them in his sleep. He was clearly invested in the project and determined to not let it go down the drain despite Kwon's efforts.

"The graph is only a mere estimation of what we all expected, its normal to miss the target, its basically the foundation of any product.
Now I am aware we missed by quite a large gap, but we're working on it, the product as you know is a bit complicated, the engineering is complex and that's the good thing about it, that when we finally reach the target audience its gonna blow, and we have the consumer feedback we sampled to back that up. They love it."

The omega addressed the members. He met the Alpha's gaze on the other side of the table, body leaned back on his swivel chair, gaze unreadable as usual.

"We've put a lot of effort, time, but mostly resources in this, if we take it off the market will be making more loss. What it needs is a little time." Seokjin said mostly to the alpha knowing he had the power to grant him what he wanted.

"We don't have time Mr. Kim." Namjoon noted, at the corner of his eyes he could see Mrs Kwon silently cheering, while the omega's eyes dim in disappointment. Namjoon didn't have the power to call the final shot despite being the CEO, but he did have the power to chose if they would give it time, or cast a vote to decide.

"However, I do think your right, a lot of effort has been put into this, we have some top investors backing this too, will give it time for now, make it your top priority." He finished standing from his chair to leave. He watched as the omega took in a deep breath in relief.

It was nice to see him catch a break. The omega was clearly on edge of late, Namjoon wasn't sure what the reason was, but things were clearly different between them, they hadn't spoken about them again, the omega seamed to have forgotten, or rather just dismissed it. They were back on first name basis. It was like they took three steps back, they might as well have been back to the starting line.

Namjoon wasn't any better, he wanted to know why, why Seokjin seemed angry at him, why he was avoiding him, did he really regret their little encounter that much. His wolf especially was the most affected, it tried to conceal an injured pride, that an omega had finally refused him with a tough front, and little bit of arrogance too.

Namjoon walked into his office, Wendy after him. "You have guests."

"Guests?" he wasn't expecting anyone out of business today, and he didn't accept unscheduled meet ups either.

"Who is it?"

"Your parents, they are in the lounge, they said they would wait till you were done with the meeting."

Namjoon pinched the bridge of his nose as he sat in his chair, he knew his parents would want to 'talk' over lunch, and by talk he meant his mother specifically, asking and teasing to see a mate. She wasn't exactly pushy or strict, namjoon just hated to see her disappointed every time he announced he hadn't gotten a mate yet.

He heard a knock on the door and ushered whoever was on the other side in, to his surprise Seokjin entered a small smile on his face, it was different from the scowl that had been present there since the party. Progress.

"Hey.....ummm I don't want to take a lot of your time, I came to thank you about earlier, I'll work harder on it. I promise it will be a different conversation next time."

Namjoon watched him as he played with his fingers, his distance from him a little far. He hated it, how the omega couldn't wait to leave, how his presence repulsed the other now.

So he motioned the omega to walk further into the office. He went around the desk when the omega was close enough, so that they were standing face to face.

"Do I make you uncomfortable Seokjin."

"O-of course not Sir."

"Sir? I remember you calling me Namjoon, you called me Joon too, what happened to that." He took a step closer, the omega taking one back.
Namjoon couldn't smell the him anymore, not since the club and when he knew it was mostly for the omega's safety, he wanted the feel that again, now that he'd gotten an idea of what it was like.

"Why are you running Seokjin, do I repulse you that much? What is it huh?" He inched closer again trapping the omega by the desk, desperate for some answers.

"Is it because I kissed you? Touched you, I already apologized for that.......and I know you liked it too, so what is it?" Namjoon watched how the omega stopped at that, not that there was anywhere he could go. His little fists clenched to his side as his eyes harden. He stared down the alpha, almost like a challenge, any alpha would feel disrespect if an omega stood up to them like that, but Namjoon felt intrigued, he wanted to know what the omega was so mad about, he'd figured one thing so far.
"Your not mad I kissed you, are you?"
Namjoon said the Omega's expression softening in confirmation.

"What is it then, why are you pushing me away." He sounded desperate now, similar to the alpha in him that was suggesting a totally different approach to the situation, one that involved pinning the other to that desk and making a repeat of the bathroom incident. He'd taken another step, now close up to the omega, who refused to take any more back steps or move away.

Seokjin only wanted to thank the alpha, it wasn't obligatory for him to do so, but it was important for him because it was the one thing that had gone right for him that morning.
He had been trying to avoid the CEO but now his work was going down the drain as Namjoon breathed close to his face. He wanted to yell out that the alpha started it, he rejected them, but he also wanted Namjoon to pin him to that desk and handle him like he had in that bathroom if not more.

"Your not gonna tell me?" Namjoon questioned as he licked his lips, he smirked as the omega followed the movement of his lips.

There wasn't a lot of space left between them and Namjoon leaned forward so that his hands were on either side of the omega trapping him, he was gonna get answers either way but another knock sounded at the door breaking the staring competition.

Namjoon waited a bit before moving from the omega. He moved around the desk catching a sight of the omega's ass in his dress pants before he moved. Seokjin made to leave when the alpha muttered a loud come in, two people sauntering into the room.

Seokjin looked between the alpha and the man and woman by the door.

"Hello Mr Kim." The woman uttered smiling widely.

"Eomma, don't start." Namjoon announced.

"Am only teasing son, come here." She said moving to her now stood son to embrace him.

Seokjin felt uncomfortable suddenly. Namjoon's parents?

"Eomma, that's enough." The alpha whined as her mother kissed all over his face.

"I missed you so much son, you didn't answer my call last week."

"That's enough honey." The man said in a low voice, clearly an alpha, he pried her wife off the CEO, moving in to hug his son himself.

"Hey dad."

"I hear people your age don't like affection from their parents, am sorry we came unannounced, you know how your mother gets." The man muttered moving his son's embrace.

"Don't act you didn't miss him, the surprise visit was your idea." She accused the alpha who smoothly avoided it, finally looking at seokjin.

"Who is this son."

"Oh this is Kim Seokjin, he is our new marketing officer, you haven't met him yet, Seokjin these are my parents."

"What a handsome young man you are, its nice to meet you. " The woman muttered to the omega who was bowing to them.

"The pleasure is mine ma'am, and thank you." He let out nervously.

"Sir." He extended a hand out to the man, who shook it.
"You must be good if my son chose you." The man inquired.

"I hope I am sir, it would be a shame if I wasn't what he was looking for."
Namjoon narrowed his eyes at that, it seemed out of context, like he wasn't referring to the company alone.

"Oh we were just leaving for lunch join us." The woman offered

"I would love too ma'am, but am sure you want to catch up with Mr. Kim here, I wouldn't want to intrude on that, maybe next time."

"You won't be intruding at all, if anything we would love to have you with us."

"Eomma am sure Seokjin has a lot of work to do, let's not interrupt that...I promise next time I'll bring him along." He said, knowing the omega might have been nervous.

"We'll be looking forward to that." She smiled softly a pair of dimples present, much like Namjoon's.

"Your too kind ma'am, and it would be my pleasure, I'll definitely look forward to that."

"Oh joon-ah you have an eye for people, Seokjin seems nice." She said.

"How about I meet you guys outside, I just have one last thing to discuss with Seokjin here before I leave."

"Ok son don't be long." The woman said moving to kiss his son one last time, she squeezed the Alpha's cheek lightly cooing at him."

"Eomma." The alpha whined.

"Let's go honey." Namjoon's Appa said, pulling along his mate.

Seokjin watched the two bickered as they went, they didn't look like the founders of Kim company, or some uptight rich couple, they looked more of two happy people. Marriage. A concept he hoped he would get to experience one day.

He looked to his side, only to catch Namjoon looking at him.
"You wanted to speak to me about something." He inquired

'yeah, you look cute with your cheeks squished.'

"Mr Kim-"

"Namjoon is just fine."

Seokjin was getting tired of this, he wasn't gonna play any more games.

"I don't owe you any explanation of any sort namjoon, you made it clear that-" He clenched his jaw, feeling familiar

"That what?" Namjoon asked walking towards the omega.

"I don't owe you anything." Seokjin said moving past the alpha, he left the office feeling worse than he had gone in. Namjoon had no right, he convinced himself despite knowing he was over reacting.

Namjoon on the other hand stood in the middle of the office eyes red in anger. What the fuck.
