7. Oh, hey..
A/N: Ignore time stamps.
3 weeks later
Taehyung's break from classes has been, boring to say the least. Not boring in the way that he hasn't done anything. In fact, he's done a lot. A lot of his time has been spent with Jimin and Hoseok in their dance studio--almost always followed by a night out. He'll never admit it but he's actually backed down, just a little bit, from the hookups. Now most of this is because Mingyu literally ruined the entire experience for him but none-the-less, he still has probably two hook ups a week...he is a guy after-all.
KTH, POV
He let out a very drawn out sigh at the text messages blowing up his phone at 8 a.m. on a Monday. Namjoon has been making it a point to remind Taehyung that eventually he has to take on a roll in the company if he wants to continue living so comfortably. Taehyung isn't spoiled, don't get him wrong, he knows that he needs to make his own living. It's just he hasn't found anything fulfilling. Not even in his studies at University. There's this vast feeling of longing but he doesn't quite know what for. He has a passion for many things and genuinely loves his life--however this aching feeling whenever he thinks about the future won't go away. Despite his many attempts to fill this unknown void.
Groaning loudly, Taehyung finally got up and started getting ready.

Jungkook's life hasn't changed much over the last three weeks. Aside from the fact that Chaeyoung spend more time at home than she used to and he spends many nights a week chauffeuring her around wherever she needs to go. His daily routine is still the same. Though he will never admit it, he finds himself often scrolling through the couple months of text messages and voicemails he shared with a certain brunette. It's the strangest feeling, longing for someone you've never met, and even though he brushes it off as infatuation with the excitement that came along with it. There's some part of him that knows the infatuation had nothing to do with the excitement and everything to do with Taehyung.
Jungkook is very excited to be a dad. He never imagined being a father before the age of 30. However, this was going to be his life and he couldn't wait to have a smaller version of himself. He just wishes, guiltily, that things were different. When he pictured starting a family he pictured himself being completely and utterly enamored with his partner, and a year ago? He was. Every fiber of his being loved Chaeyoung. It's the fact that he knows where his mind was just a few weeks back...whenever he was seriously considering calling off his engagement, that makes him sad for the future of his family. Especially, because he doesn't want to be his father.
KTH, POV
After a couple hours of indecisiveness, Taehyung finally decided on an outfit. It was probably a little too casual for the luncheon, but hey at least he was going. Namjoon will be happy enough and besides, if what Yoongi said is true and these guys aren't old men in suits than there's a really good chance Tae could potentially find some new eyecandy and that was something to be excited about. So feeling satisfied with himself, he headed out and decided to walk towards the studio. Figuring a good nature walk is just what he needs and besides, the queen is always fashionably late, right?
JJK, POV
"Jungkook-ah! You look nice. Really brought out the stops huh?" Seokjin smirked at the younger male.
"Yah! Just wanted to look nice, it's our first meeting in our new company building. We're sure to bump into people we will see on a regular basis, I wanna make a good impression."
"You're right, Namjoon-ssi informed me that his younger brother will be joining us for the luncheon. Apparently he's stayed away from the company affairs but Namjoon really wants to bring him into the reins."
"Great, someone who has no idea what's going on will be entering whenever we're making a drastic change.." Jungkook rolled his eyes
"Hey, his opinions may be biased, but Namjoon is very intelligent. If he says his brother will be a valuable asset than we need to welcome him with open arms. He's your hyung, by a year, so be respectful upon meeting him. Regardless of title." Seokjin warned, knowing Jungkook can on occasion be a cocky bastard with people his age.
"I'll behave, hyung. I'm not a child."
small time skip: Jungkook, Seokjin, Namjoon and Yoongi are all in the conference room already.
11:17 a.m.
"I swear, Yoongi, you spoke with him didn't you?!" Namjoon scoffed pacing around the room.
"Yes, you know Taetae, he loves riling you up. He will be here."
Jungkook ignored the way his ears perked up hearing the nickname taetae, not even fathoming the possibility of Taehyung being involved in a situation. The goofy, number neighboring, guy that he spent many nights talking to about abstract theories and the sexualities of his favorite artists..wouldn't possibly be involved in a business such as this one.
Just when he brushed off the thought and looked down at his phone. He heard the door open and that velvety voice that there was no way he would ever forget.
"Well look who decided to bless us with his presence. Mr. Kim and Mr. Jeon have things to do, Taehyung. You should've been here on time." Namjoon spat at his brother who was smirking as he made his way into the conference room before bowing at the two men he's never met.
"Please forgive me for my tardiness. I chose to walk here and didn't give myself enough time." Taehyung spoke before rising from his bow and locking eyes with the last person in the world he ever thought he'd see.
"Nonsense, Namjoon-ssi, it's really fine." Seokjin smiles. "My name is Kim Seokjin, and this is my Co-CEO Jeon Jungkook. It's our pleasure to meet you, Taehyung-ssi."
And Jungkook could've swore he's never understood what people meant by time stopping until this moment because he had no idea just how truly gorgeous Taehyung is in person and he surely never planned to see him again. He knew, however, they couldn't possibly explain the way that they know each other so he brushed it off. Returning the bow and extending a hand for Taehyung.
"It is truly a pleasure to meet you, Taehyung" Jungkook stated firmly as he shook the softest hand he's ever felt.
"The pleasure is mine." Taehyung stated briefly before turning to his brother.
"Let's get this started shall we, hyung?" he smiled softly before turning to embrace his brother and Yoongi into a hug.
KTH, POV
Taehyung was doing his absolute best to steady his pounding heart. He really thought that God was cruel for putting him in this situation. It would've been a lot easier for him to ignore whatever was brewing a few weeks back had he never actually met Jungkook in person and the fact that he knew nothing of the younger male other than his first name, was definitely something he was grateful for.
That all was ruined though. Just now. Because not only has he met that male that drove him absolutely crazy with only words. They were going to work together. Everyday. And to top it all off, Jungkook acted as if he didn't even know him.
Surprisingly, the meeting went by just fine and Taehyung managed to successfully play off the fact that he was going crazy in his mind. It made him a little sad though, whenever he'd catch the younger male stealing glances at him because he was still unsure if he recognized him. I mean I did dye my hair after all.. fuck why do I even care. He pouted to himself, forgetting for a second he was in a meeting and earned a sweet chuckle from Jungkook.
"Taehyungieeeee" Yoongi spoke "We know this is all new to you, but pretend to be interested. Don't make us regret bragging about you to Seokjin-hyung"
Tae's face flushed red as he apologized.
The meeting ended and the five men shook hands before parting ways. It wasn't until Jungkook kept their gaze a little bit too long that Taehyung realized he did recognize him. It was in the way he allowed his lips to curl up into a slight smirk, showing just a little bit of his cute bunny teeth that made Tae's heart flutter and confuse his mind.
JJK, POV
Jungkook spent the entire drive home contemplating whether or not to text Taehyung. I mean, it's been weeks. He probably already deleted my contact. Finally deciding he couldn't resist he pulled out his phone and texted that number one more time.
Even though it was a lie, he suddenly didn't feel comfortable complaining about Chaeyoung to Tae anymore. He felt guilty and didn't know who those feelings were towards.
KTH, POV
He and Jimin were waiting for Hobi and Chae to arrive at Club Mikrokosmos. Taehyung was already several shots in and Jimin really couldn't believe his bestfriend was drinking so hard on a Monday night.
"Damn, Tae, Mr. Sexy really fucked you up huh?" He giggled as Tae ordered another shot and another vodka tonic.
"Listen, this has only a LITTLE bit to do with him. Okay." Tae scoffed, even though he knew damn well this had everything to do with JEON Jungkook and it fucking infuriated him. He was never the type to do feelings and he didn't even really know the guy. Sure they spent the majority of their days talking for a few months but what does that even mean. It's not like they really knew who the other was. They didn't even share their surnames. It was ridiculous to feel this way for someone that was basically a complete stranger yet Taehyung couldn't knock the feeling no matter how much alcohol he drank or how many people he slept with.
Jimin was just about to speak again whenever Hobi and Chae walked up to them and Tae's face lit up. "HOBI HYUNG!!!!"
"Woah, Taebear, hi! You look, wrecked" he laughed
"Eh, had a rough day. First day with the company" Tae smiled as he turned to the girl that had her arm snaked around Hoseok's. She was very beautiful but Taehyung couldn't help but notice the way her shirt protruded out in an unusal way considering her otherwise slim figure
"Oh and this is Chaeyoung! She's a rather new IDOL and kind of my mentor" Hoseok blushed as he introduced the girl.
Tae smiled at her and embraced her for a hug whenever he heard Hobi gasp "Tae be careful!! She's pregnant!"
"OH MY GOD, I'M SO SORRY IS YOUR BABY OKAY!?" Tae shouted and didn't realize he was getting way to personal until he started gently rubbing her belly and apologizing to the little bump.
Luckily Chaeyoung found the whole thing endearing and she'd be lying if she said she didn't enjoy the attention she was getting from the gorgeous man in front of her. "It's okay, Taehyung-ssi. It's a pleasure to meet you. Hobi and Jiminah have spoke tons about you"
The four hungout and danced for quite awhile. Taehyung kept glancing at the girl with Hoseok curiously. Wondering why a pregnant woman would come out to a bar and why she was clinging to Hoseok so tightly. There was noway Hobi was the father, so who was?
Tae's thoughts were interrupted whenever a very good looking male approached him and softly placed a hand on his lower back. "Hey there, gorgeous"
"and who exactly are you, to put your hands on me, SIR" Tae smirked turning his body to were his side was brushing up against the tall man's front.
"Yugyeom. and you?"
Tae smiled "Taehyung, are you trying to dance with me or are you just gonna stand here with your hand on my back all night?"
Yugyeom led Taehyung to the dancefloor and Tae would've been lying if he said the male wasn't undeniably sexy. Only an hour maybe passed before Tae found himself being pushed up against the wall in a bathroom stall. He was never a huge fan of public sex but after the day he's had and the number of drinks he's had. This was needed.
Once he finally came down from his high, he was dizzy and could barely stand. Deciding it was time to call it a night he pulled out his phone to call Namjoon for a ride. Not trusting himself not to throw up in the back of an uber.
"hello"
"JOOOONIEEE, HALP."
"Tae? Are you drunk?"
"BRO IT'S 4 a.m and I"m callng for a ride, DUH"
"Where are you?"
"MIkroskossmas"
"I'll be there soon."
"Thankz you hyungieiie" Tae slurred, before saying goodbye to his friends and waiting outside.
It wasn't until he saw those dark brown orbs that he stared at this morning that he realized he called the wrong phone number.
"JUNGKOOKIEEEEeeeee" he shouted
"Taehyung... you're so wasted" Jungkook sighed before looking around to make sure noone was witnessing Tae's embarrassing stumble.
"What are yous doing here?! Grandpa's shouldn't go clubbbing on a weeknight JUngkookieiee"
"You called me, Tae. I'm sure you meant to call Namjoon-ssi but you dialed me instead. Let's go."
"Woah, mr. Take me to DINNER FIRST!" Tae pouted and crossed his arms but he lost his balance and fell into Jungkook.
JJK, POV
He didn't know why he even picked up the phone call. Nor why he didn't just call Namjoon for Tae. There was a part of him that was happy the male called him by mistake, maybe part of him hoped it wasn't a mistake and that Tae was thinking about him the same way he was.
But now that he was standing in front of a club at 4 a.m with a very dizzy Taehyung in his arms, he realized that was definitely not the case.
"Tae, I need your address to take you home."
"FUCKKSKSS, ummmmmmm" Tae stuttered and that was when Jungkook realized Tae couldn't remember his address at this moment in time.
He groaned to himself before deciding to take Taehyung to his own house. It's not like Chaeyoung knows who he is. So he sent a text to his fiance letting him know he rescued a drunk colleague from a bar and that they would be in the guest room.
"Well, looks like you're coming with me for the night. Can you walk to my car, Tae?"
The older male just stood there still leaning onto Jungkook with a pout on his lips and God knows how bad Jungkook wanted to kiss that pout away but he knew he couldn't. So he leaned down scooping the drunk male into his arms and carried him to the car.
