"Urghh...!"
Taehyung stretched his hand lazily from his comfy duvet to turn off the annoying sound of his alarm clock.
He slowly opened his eyes just to find himself in an unfamiliar room and that's when he realized he just moved in to his new house last night after his wedding ceremony.
He scratched his messy hair, eyes half closed as he got down from his bed dragging his feet towards his attached washroom.
After getting freshened up, he walked downstairs just to find an empty couch where he thought Jungkook might be sleeping. He looked around the whole house to search for Jungkook but he's nowhere to be found.
"Where's he? Did he run away?"
Taehyung murmured himself as he looked around but found only a small sheet of paper sticking at the kitchen door.
Taehyung walked towards it and read the words written on it.
"Baby, I'm sorry, something came up in my work place so I had to go for work early today. I didn't wake you up since you were sleeping---"
Taehyung scoffed after reading it half.
"Woah... Is he serious? Does he think that I would care whether he went wherever he wants or not?"
"I made breakfast. I was in a hurry so I had to eat it alone by myself. I'm sorry I didn't wait for you to wake up and go like this...."
Taehyung smugged while reading it.
"Woah... Is he trying to be a good husband huh? Making breakfast for me and leaving a note for me like this?"
"There wasn't much food in the kitchen and it was enough only for me. I already ate mine so buy some from the store and make yours by yourself and eat. Don't skip your breakfast, it's not good for your health. Bye bye. Don't miss me too much. ;)"
Taehyung dropped his jaw after he finished reading it. He barged into the kitchen and looked around for food but all he could find was an empty refrigerator, empty dining table... well... to be more clear, an empty kitchen. He crumpled the paper in his hand as he clenched his fingers into a fist.
"I hate you Jeon Jungkook."
Taehyung clenched his teeth as he threw the paper on the ground.
What's more devastating is that, he heard his stomach grumbled out of hunger.
"You were really in a hurry huh? How hurry you were that you had time to make your own breakfast but not mine? Fine. But at least you could've kept something for me too? Urrghhh...!!"
Taehyung ruffled his own hair making it more messy.
"What work? You stupid idiot annoying little rabbit..! You said you just started working there three months ago. What kind of work a new worker like you have actually to be acting this busy huh?"
Meanwhile in JJ Creation building,
Jungkook hurriedly got down from his car and entered the company building checking his watch again and again. He was 10 minutes late for the conference meeting so he rushed into his office room.
"Jungkook, how come you're late today?"
Jungkook turned his head when he heard a familiar voice from behind.
"Uh Hoseok hyung? Everyone is ready right?"
"Of course. They're already in conference room waiting for you."
Hoseok said as he took the file from Jungkook's table and followed the other who already started walking ahead of him.
"Good morning sir."
Every employee got up from their seat and bowed at him as he walked in the conference hall.
Jungkook just nodded as he took his seat by the head of the table followed by the other employees after him.
"Shall we start?"
One of the employee got up and started his presentation after he got the permission from Jungkook.
Jungkook put all his concentration as one of the employee started his presentation about the new update of the game that until Hoseok approached towards him. He gave him an annoying look since he was distracted.
"Sir, You have a call."
Hoseok whispered as he gave him the phone.
"Who is it?"
Jungkook asked but Hoseok didn't say anything.
"I'm in the middle of a conference. If it's not that important, don't distract me like this."
"I don't know who is it but I couldn't say anything. He's not listening to me but he kept shouting on his own instead."
Hoseok whispered.
Jungkook snapped his head towards Hoseok as he snatched the phone from his hand.
"Hello---"
"YOU..!! COME HOME RIGHT NOW..!!"
Jungkook took his phone away from his ear when Taehyung shouted over the phone, it almost broke his eardrums.
Then he dashed out of the conference hall after he noticed the looks from the employees leaving Hoseok to give some excuses for him to the other employees there who were confusedly looking at each other as their CEO left the conference room all of a sudden, which is not at all usual.
"Why? Miss me already?"
Jungkook said after he came out of the hall.
"Of course. How dare you eat all the food and go away like that? I'm starving here because of you."
"Don't you see the note I kept for you?"
Jungkook tried to hold his laugh.
"Do you think I can eat that paper? There's no food here."
"Buy and cook for yourself."
"I can't cook."
"Just order something from outside then."
"I don't eat outside foods."
Jungkook scratched his forehead.
"What do you want me to do then?"
"Come back home right now and cook for me."
"What?"
Jungkook suddenly bursted out into a loud laugh.
"Why are you laughing? I'm not joking. Come and cook for me. I'm hungry. How can you be so selfish? You only cooked for yourself and left nothing for me? I'm gonna make you cook for me everyday from now on."
"Wait... you..."
Jungkook turned his face while laughing just to find Hoseok standing behind him with his jaw almost dropped to the floor.
Jungkook cleared his throat when he noticed Hoseok and turned again.
"I'm in the middle of a meeting. I'll come back after it's done. Is that ok?"
"No."
"No?"
Jungkook just smiled at how stubborn Taehyung was being.
"Listen, I can't come back right now. Just eat your breakfast with that shorty smart friend of yours. I'll cook the lunch instead. Is that ok?"
"Shorty friend? You..!! How dare you call my friend like-- uhh... Fine. I'll go and eat with him. But come back fast and finish cooking before I come back. My mom said our belongings will be sent here today so we have to arrange the house. Don't ever try to make excuses to get away. And don't forget to buy whatever you need for cooking while you come back. I don't want to go out and buy them."
"Just pray that I will finish my work before lunch time to cook for you. Or else I won't--"
Jungkook couldn't even finish his words as the other already hung up the call.
"Sir, all are waiting for you."
Hoseok said after Jungkook gave him the phone.
Jungkook cleared his throat as he walked inside the conference hall with Hoseok following him.
‐‐‐
"Are you alright?"
Jungkook stopped his fingers from scrolling through his phone in his office room when Hoseok asked him while arranging some papers after the conference ended.
"Why?"
"Nothing. Just asking. Because you don't seem like yourself today."
Hoseok said with his hands still busy arranging the papers.
"What do you mean?"
Hoseok sighed and sat on the couch beside Jungkook.
"Just... you know... I've known you since you were still in highschool and I've been working as your personal secretary for almost one and a half year already since you started this company on your own but I've never seen you laugh like that before. You seem to be in good mood lately after you come back from your 10 days leave. Did I miss something?"
"You're thinking too much Hyung. There's nothing special going on."
Jungkook said as he continued scrolling through his phone again.
"I don't believe you. Well... then tell me who was the one that called you during the meeting? I'm still wondering who is he to even dare to shout at you like that."
"Him? Uh... he's no one. We just got married yesterday."
Jungkook said still busy with his phone.
"What? You... Him... wait... what... You...? married? That too yesterday? I mean how? And you still say he's no one? No... wait... Did I just ruined the first day of your married life?"
Hoseok shouted as if he just lost all his trust of his own existence.
"Hyung. Will you please keep your voice down? Why are you freaking out as if you just saw a ghost?"
Jungkook gave him an annoying look.
"What ghost? Your words are even more scarier than ghost."
"Well then I'll let you meet some ghost later on. Let's see which is more scarier."
"Ok joke aside. How did that happen? Ok... What's past is past... so leave that. Why didn't you invite me? Don't you think me as your brother? Friend? At least your secretary?"
"Hyung. I didn't invite anyone not only you because this marriage is only a deal between me and him and I don't want anyone to involve in this. And hyung please don't tell anyone about this because he don't want anyone to know it as well. We just met not more than 10 days ago and how did the things happen this way is a long story so I'll tell you later."
"Wait... Only a deal?"
Hoseok sighed.
"What if he approached you because you're rich and CEO of this company? What if he's just after your money?"
"Hyung. He's not. Because he doesn't know anything about me. He thinks I'm just a new employee here."
"How is this possible... like... i mean... ok... I don't understand what's actually going on but will you... at least... let me meet him? I wonder what type of person he is that successfully tempted our strict boss to agree to this whatever deal thing that easily."
"No. We agreed not to interfere with each other's personal life."
"Woah... I can't believe you. You laughed and smiled like an idiot just now while you were talking to him."
"He's just too stupid and stubborn, that's it."
Jungkook put his phone inside his pocket as he got up.
"What's my schedule? Is there any other work?"
Hoseok checked the schedule.
"Umm... You still have a meeting in 30 minutes."
Jungkook checked his watch and it was almost lunch time.
"Cancel it."
"What? Why? What's wrong? Where are you going?"
Hoseok kept shouting as he was left alone inside Jungkook's office room since Jungkook already went out of the room, completely ignoring his questions.
"What's going on? What's gotten into our workaholic CEO who used to take meetings and works more important than his life to act like this? He's even asking me to cancel the meeting? I wonder how is that person actually to make him change this much in only a few days."
Taehyung stretched his hand lazily from his comfy duvet to turn off the annoying sound of his alarm clock.
He slowly opened his eyes just to find himself in an unfamiliar room and that's when he realized he just moved in to his new house last night after his wedding ceremony.
