10. The plot twist

"Yes, yes- I know. Got it."

"Good, because you need to try it again. Be shameless- if you need to."

Jungkook leans back and props his feet on the table. He sighs into the phone. "Why are you so obsessed with this, Minho? I told you already that I don't think he will go that far. And everyone acts different in a drunken state. He doesn't seem to-"

"Yah! That's for me to decide. I need to be totally sure that I can trust Taehyung."

"But he-"

"I need to make sure that he is not after my money. I don't trust him yet."

Jungkook sighs and rolls his eyes. "Taehyung is not after your money. I don't believe that. His friend said something about a problematic past and that he needs a stable-"

"Jungkook, stop!" Minho snaps on the other end of the phone. "You don't know Taehyung! And I haven't asked for your opinion on this! Just do your thing. You are good at pretending. Just continue like this."

Jungkook puffs his cheeks out and exhales. "Yeah- whatever."

"Good. Taehyung will come to our workplace at 12:15 to join me for lunch. Keep to the plan."

"Sure." Jungkook is about to hang up when he suddenly remembers something. "And Minho- I hate it if someone is violent or abusive towards his partner. I wasn't only pretending to be mad when you pushed Taehyung against the wall. So- if you will hurt him again, I am out-"

"Please." Minho groans. "I hardly touched him. He was drunk and lost his balance. I am not like that. Why would I hurt my boyfriend?"

"Why wouldn't you believe your boyfriend?"

"Shut up, Jeon. I told you my concerns. And I'm paying you for that. And I'm your team leader-"

"Yeah, yeah- I know. You can make my life a living hell." Jungkook scoffs. "Don't try to threaten me! I need to work now. See you in the canteen." Jungkook hangs up and throws his phone on the table. He closes his eyes. "Why am I doing this?"

It has been a stupid idea. A stupid, drunk idea. They had been out for a drink to discuss job-related matters a few weeks ago. Drunk Minho had told Jungkook about his new boyfriend- wondering why someone like Taehyung wanted someone like him. The rest is history. Drunk Jungkook had offered to test Minho's boyfriend's loyalty, to see if Taehyung would cheat on him. Minho had loved the idea and had even offered Jungkook money for that.

Jungkook groans and pulls his feet off the table, stares at his dark computer screen. He can't focus on work. He feels like an asshole. He knows that he is one for doing this. Jungkook doesn't even like Minho. His team leader is boring and prone to violence. Jungkook's mind wanders to Taehyung. He smiles absentmindedly. Taehyung is something else. Jungkook had no idea that Minho's boyfriend is that hot and sweet. He makes it so easy to get close to him, touch him, flirt with him.

Mingyu has been wrong. Taehyung is more than a 10. Jungkook curses. Taehyung is alluring. Jungkook doesn't even need to pretend to want him. He does want him for real. Jungkook couldn't stop himself in the car back then. He wanted to kiss Taehyung in the hallway. He wanted to fuck him senseless against the stairs.

When he saw Taehyung in the cocktail bar for the first time, Jungkook had been blown away by his beauty. Taehyung looks like a goddess with his beautiful, large brown eyes and blonde hair. Jungkook hadn't planned to get drunk that night. But he had needed to drink up courage.

"This is so fucked up." Jungkook groans. He knows he should stop with this bullshit. But Minho is an asshole. He will make his professional life a living hell for sure. A knock on the door startles Jungkook out of his thoughts.

"Mr. Jeon, your meeting starts in five minutes. Are you ready to go?"

"Yes." Jungkook stands up and takes his phone, shoves it into his pocket. "I am coming."

Mingyu is talking Jungkook's ear off about his girlfriend and her annoying quirks while they are on their way to the canteen. "She sounds like a lot of work, dude," Jungkook says and yawns. He is tired. He hasn't slept well the past nights. Too many thoughts are in his head.

"Yeah, but what can I say- I love her. She is still cute and soft."

"Good for you." They take a tray and head to the counter. Jungkook takes a look around and freezes when his eyes fall on Minho and then on Taehyung, who is sitting in front of him. Jungkook opens his mouth and stares at Taehyung without blinking. The latter is beautiful. His hair is permed and he's wearing a blue, fluffly cardigan, which makes him look soft and gentle.

"What are you looking at?" Mingyu follows Jungkook's eyes. "Man, I can't believe that Minho got himself someone like him. It's insane. If I weren't into girls, I would have already tried to snatch him away."

Jungkook shrugs- acts as if he doesn't care about Taehyung. He turns around and starts putting food on his plate.

"I'm so hungry," Mingyu says.

Jungkook sighs and glances at the couple again. He knows what Minho wants him to do. He has told him everything on the phone before.

"Where should we sit?"

"Let's join Minho."

"What?" Mingyu almost drops the tray. "What the- Don't you remember that he has kicked you out of his apartment three days ago?"

"No." Jungkook starts moving. "But we cleared things up. We are good."

"Good my ass." Mingyu scoffs. "You hate his guts."

"I do." Jungkook sighs. "But he is our team leader after all. I can't afford him hating me."

"Yeah, you are probably right. Minho is resentful."

"Be quiet now."

They walk over to the couple and Mingyu sits next to Minho- Jungkook next to Taehyung. "Hey. We can join you, right?"

"What-what are you doing?" Taehyung stutters and faces Jungkook with widened eyes, his cheeks blush prettily. He smells of vanilla and something flowery- his scent filling Jungkook's head.

"Right. Taehyung. I have forgotten to tell you." Minho clears his throat and smiles at his boyfriend. "Jungkook and I made up. We are adults after all and colleagues. It has been a misunderstanding and everything is good again. Right, buddy?"

"Yeah- sure." Jungkook hates Minho's face. He hates his voice. He hates Minho for making him do this. "We are cool."

"I see," Taehyung mumbles and lowers his eyes to his plate. "But I came here to have lunch with you. Just the two of us."

"I know. But you are my boyfriend and you should get to know my closest colleagues, too, right?"

"Huh?" Taehyung looks up, confusion is written on his face. "But you told me that I should stay away from-"

"Tae, please." Minho glares at him. "Not now."

Jungkook bites the inside of his cheek to keep from clenching his jaw. He wants to punch Minho in the face. He hates how he behaves towards Taehyung. Dismissive. Toxic. Jungkook knows he's not an angel either, but he would never act like that towards his boyfriend.
