Chapter Text

A groan was followed by the sound of a blaring alarm, tick, tick. He inhales deeply, lets it out slowly, and then slowly opens his eyes. The time was 5:00 a.m. He gets up and stretches his limbs while rubbing his eyes and yawning. His back muscles tensed, causing the enormous phoenix tattoo on his back to shrink and spread its wings once more as he relaxed. Only a pair of black boxer shorts were on him. He goes to the bathroom after putting on his comfortable loafers. He changes into his jogging gear after a quick shower and leaves the room. He puts on his favorite workout playlist on his AirPods, leaves his house, and begins his daily jog. As the dawn had just begun, it was still fairly dark outside, but Jungkook often loved this ambience for his regular jog. The 32-year-old alpha held the position of CEO of Elixir, a Korean multinational pharmaceutical company based in Seoul. He had inherited the company from his father, Jeon Jinho, when he was 27 years old and had been running it successfully for 6 years. His parents, Jeon Yoori and Jeon Jinho, were both alphas and are now retired and spending time together at home. He goes to his personal gym after his morning exercise to finish his fitness routines, completes his workout by 7:30, and collapses onto his couch. He still had time, though. He usually arrives at his office by 9 a.m. He checks his emails to see Secretary Kim's mail about his schedule today. He had a long day ahead. But Jungkook never minded; he liked his work genuinely and was a borderline workaholic. He felt a touch on his shoulders as he sipped his protein shake. Jungkook spits his drink out and yells while flinching, just to hear his mom laughing. He casts her a perplexed glance.

“I swear I almost had a heart attack, mom. When did you even show up? Did you want to kill your only son?”
Jeon Yoori chuckles as she shakes her head. She raises her hands in surrender and says,
"Well, you look like you could take on a bull head-on. Who thought you'd be afraid of a touch? I didn't even do anything."
"Very funny," responds Jungkook as he goes to get a cloth to clean up the mess he made. Yoori sits down on the black leather couch and crosses one leg over the other. "I have set up a blind date for you.”
“Sorry, mom, I'm fully booked today.”
"I will ask secretary Kim to clear it," she adds nonchalantly as she dismisses him with a wave of her hands. "Go and meet the girl this evening."
"You won't do that, mom; he's my secretary, and he only reports to me." Yoori gives him a sharp look.
"Would you like to challenge me, Jeon Jungkook?" Jungkook sighs in frustration.
"Oh for fuck's sake, mom, what do you even get from this? All the omegas and betas I've met so far either bore me to death with their talks or kill me with their enthusiasm; I have not found a single person bearable," he sneers. Yoori gets up from the couch; her alpha pheromones are sour.
"Then you find someone you like, Jungkook;I never opposed anything, and you can bring anyone as your partner for all I care, even if it’s a vampire I . Don’t . Care". She stresses each words. Jungkook then sighs and rakes his fingers through his hair. "Okay, calm down, mom; I will go okay. Just relax. I don't want you to increase your blood pressure." Yoori scoffs before sitting down once again.

Taehyung places the warm cup of coffee on the table. arranges all the scattered files and papers on the desk and cleans it with a towel. He places fresh flowers in the vase and arranges the name board on the desk properly.

Jeon Jungkook
CEO

The board read. Next to the name board was a framed photo of a couple holding a 5-year-old boy who was smiling with an adorable bunny-tooth smile. Taehyung looks at the photo and gives a fond smile. There were sudden, loud footsteps. As Taehyung turned around, Jungkook appeared in a neatly tailored black suit. Taehyung thinks he looks good. He smiles and shakes his head while turning his attention back to the picture frame. He had trouble believing they were the same person. Taehyung briefly considers how Jungkook might appear in a more relaxed setting and in a color other than black. He will likely resemble the attractive boy next door. As Jungkook walked into the office, Taehyung shook these ideas out of his head.
“Sir, Good Morning”. Taehyung extends his greetings in a formal manner. Jungkook sits down after setting his bag down on his desk and nodding.

“Please cancel all of my appointments after six, Secretary Kim.”
“Does a reservation for a restaurant need to be made?” Taehyung takes notes. As he types something into his laptop, Jungkook shakes his head in disapproval.
“Just free my schedule; Mother will probably handle everything.” Jungkook adds as he goes on with his work. "Then, sir, I'll take my leave; you need to take your morning vitamin tablets."
After bowing, Taehyung returns to his workstation. This was how their relationship stood. Taehyung didn't even need to inquire as to why Jungkook was cancelling his appointments in order to understand that the alpha was most likely attending one of the dates Mrs. Jeon put up for him and that it would most likely conclude in about 30 minutes because Jungkook seemed to hate these dates. Taehyung became Jungkook's secretary two years after he became CEO. So it had now been 4 years since they started working together. They appeared to be an excellent working team. Together, they were able to significantly increase the company's profit. Taehyung has always admired Jungkook for his leadership qualities, his business tactics, and his commitment. Jungkook's dedication in turn motivates Taehyung to work harder. Jungkook finishes typing his email and notices a cup of coffee and his morning vitamin tablets neatly stored in a tray. He then turns to face Taehyung, who was working on something, through the glass partition.
"What am I going to do without Secretary Kim?" Jungkook sighs and shakes his head. He'd be like a toddler whose mother had left him alone at home for the day. The thought sends shivers down his spine.

Three days later, the Elixir Pharmaceuticals employees saw a fuming Jeon Yoori being trailed by her terrified assistant, So Jisung. She storms down the corridors to Jungkook's office without knocking. Jungkook flinched at the unexpected entry, but as soon as he sees his mother, he ignores her and returns to his work. Yoori screams,
"JEON JUNGKOOK."
Jungkook was shivering internally despite his unamused expression.
"Mom, relax; there are omegas at work in here. Your overpowering scent will bother them."
"No, you brat, you listen to me! Why did you leave the date in 15 minutes? If you were going to be like that, you should not have gone."
Jungkook shrugs casually. "I told you I didn't want to, but you were insistent."

"Okay, enough is enough; tell me exactly what your plan is now, because I'm not going to leave you alone like this. You don't go on the dates I set up, and you don't date anyone. You are constantly working and working and working! Jungkook, you're 32 years old! People your age start having children, and you're stuck in front of this laptop, with the only other person you ever interact with being secretary Kim.”
Jungkook finally stops typing and faces his mom. "I don't know, Mom, okay? I did try, but they just don't interest me. "I know I'm good-looking and successful enough to have a line of people in front of me, but I just like the way things are now."
Yoori sighs and moves closer to him, saying softly, "Baby, you know we're worried about you, right? It's not even for a grandchild or heir; we just want to see you with someone who cares. We don't care if it's an alpha, beta, omega, male or female, or whatever their status is. We want you to have someone who will be loyal, supportive, and understanding. I'm forcing you because I know you'll be single for the rest of your life if I don't. Make an extra effort for my sake. I don't want my only son to die alone.”

A knock was suddenly heard, and Taehyung came in. Yoori turned in anger at the sudden interruption but paused to take in the sight of the guy in front. It was clearly an omega, as understood from the soft smell of coconut with a hint of cinnamon. The omega looked so beautiful that Yoori was stunned for a second before regaining her composure. She looks at the newcomer with curious eyes. Taehyung bows,
“Really sorry to interrupt your conversation, mam, but this needed to be done urgently.”
“Who are you, young man?" Yoori asks, her eyes still curious.
Taehyung is perplexed for a moment before realizing he is seeing Mrs. Jeon for the first time. The couple shortly went on a world tour after Jungkook took over and only settled back last year, so they didn't really have the chance to meet. But still, they talked over the phone very frequently regarding Jungkook's schedules and plans.
"Please allow me to introduce myself, ma'am; my name is Kim Taehyung, and I work as sir Jeon's personal secretary." Taehyung says this with a 90-degree bow.

Mrs. Jeon appeared dazed. So this was the secretary Kim, with whom she spoke at least three times a week? Why hadn't anyone mentioned his good looks? It's no surprise Jungkook seemed unaffected by all the hot potential life partners she brought with her because Secretary Kim's beauty commanded the entire world's attention. Jungkook's voice jolted her out of her reverie.
“What exactly is it, Kim? "
"Sir, the contract for the new Busan laboratory must be submitted today. I reminded you first thing in the morning."
“Oh my God! I completely forgot about it.” Jungkook became panicked.
"Don't worry, sir; I took care of everything else; all you have to do now is read it and sign it, and I'll send it to you."
Taehyung asserts himself as he passes the documents to Jungkook.
Jungkook sighs and mumbles, "You are my saviour, Kim," as he goes through the papers. It was all in order. Well, who was he kidding? Secretary Kim was the best at everything. Taehyung smiles, keeping his gaze down.
Mrs. Jeon watches the whole interaction keenly. Taehyung then turns to her.
“Would you like to have something, ma'am? I can bring matcha green tea if you want; Sir told me you're fond of those.”
Yoori gives a charming smile. " Yes, I'd like to have one, Secretary Kim, and it's nice to finally meet you in person. She extends her hands. Taehyung shook it. He then takes the paper from Jungkook and bows again, saying, "I will send the tea in 10 minutes, ma'am," and Taehyung was out the door.

Mrs. Jeon immediately turned around and slammed her hands on the table. Jungkook flinches again.
" Mom what is wrong with you these days? you always scare the hell out of me! "
“Why didn't you ever tell me that Secretary Kim was this handsome? Jungkook looks baffled at that. "I-- , why is that important?"
“Nevermind! I'll see you later, I have some things to do.” Yoori says with a sly grin.
"What about your tea?"
Oh, I'll get that on my way. With her hands, she dismisses. “I'll see you later, baby.”
Yoori emerges just in time to see someone delivering the tea. She accepts it graciously and takes a seat near the corner of the couch. She calls her assistant, who was on the phone a few feet away. So Jisung hung up the phone and approached her.
" Get me Secretary Kim's personal information."
" Why do we need to investigate his personal information, ma'am?" Secretary Kim is the best in the business." Jisung murmurs softly.
" I know he's the best, which is why I'm thinking about giving him a raise right now."
" Oh! That is wonderful, ma'am. Secretary Kim is deserving of it.” Jisung enthusiastically adds. "Which position do you have in mind for him?"
"Oh, I was considering making him my son-in-law." Jisung gasps for breath.
" What? Is there a relationship between them?” Jisung is taken aback.
" No." Yoori shrugs casually.
"So, why, ma'am? Do you believe they will agree?” Yoori appears to pause for a moment to reflect. "I can't speak for Taehyung, but I believe my son will not reject Secretary Kim. Call it maternal instincts if you want.” As she finishes her tea, Yoori says
"Now, enough with the questions; let's get to work” and she walks away with that.

The black Rolls-Royce Phantom comes to a halt in front of a two-story house. She walks elegantly and with poise, keeping her head held high. She rings the bell twice to signal her arrival. After a few seconds, a man, an alpha, probably her husband's age, opened the door. Even with his grey hair and wrinkles, the man was still attractive. He locks his gaze on her. "I'm Jeon Yoori, Elixir's CEO Jeon Jungkook's mother, and it's a pleasure to meet you, Kim Youngho ssi."

For a brief moment, Kim Youngho was speechless before he quickly bowed and welcomed her inside. "Who is it, Honey?" asked a stunning woman, an omega, as she came into the room wiping her hands on a towel. "I assume you are Kim Seohee, Taehyung's mother?" Still looking cautious, the woman nodded. Yoori now understands where Taehyung's beauty comes from. His parents both had attractive appearances.
"This is CEO Jeon's mother, Jeon Yoori," Youngho explains to his wife. The woman promptly bowed after widening her eyes. “Please take a seat Yoori-ssi.”
Yoori smiles as she sits on the small couch. Youngho swallows and clears his throat.
" Is everything all right in the company? "Did Taehyung make a mistake?" Youngho inquires cautiously.
Yoori laughs at that. "Everything is fine, Youngho-ssi; you two can relax. This is just a quick stop." Yoori finishes with a smile. Taehyung's parents both sigh with relief.
" I'm guessing you're a retired high school teacher?" Youngho gives a nod. Yoori then faces Seohee,
“and you're a baker with a small cake shop?”
Seohee gives a nod. "I am, indeed."
"Is Taehyung your only child?”
“No, we have an older son named Namjoon.” Youngho says.
"How lovely! Is he working?”
"Yes, he works as Mr. Kim Seokjin's secretary, the president of Golden Hotels and Resorts," Seohee confirms.

Yoori is taken aback by this. "Are you referring to that tall, handsome, dimpled alpha?"
"Yes, I believe that's him," Youngho says with a chuckle.
" No surprise, your genes are superior; both of your sons are quite attractive, I might add."

Both Youngho and Seohee smile. "That's nice of you to say Yoori-ssi," Seohee says.
"If you don't mind me asking, what brings you here?"
Yoori straightens up and leans forward, her elbows resting on her knees.

"I'm here to get your thoughts on marrying your son to my Jungkook."

Yoori gives them both a timid look. Youngho and Seohee were both stunned and speechless. Yoori quickly adds,
"I'm so sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable.
" Youngho regains his composure and states, "I don't know about that; I mean, I don't have any doubts about Mr. Jeon's capability, but Tae pretty much shares everything with us, and he never mentioned anything about a romantic relationship."

Yoori sighs. "Well, they are not actually in a relationship." You see, Jungkook is a real workaholic. All day he just works, and he doesn't have a life aside from that. I ignored it, thinking he would find someone for him eventually, but till now he has not shown interest in anybody. I have set him up for a lot of dates, but still, he doesn't like anybody. He's 32, and I'm scared that he will forever be this workaholic bachelor. But when I observed Taehyung's and his interactions, I suddenly had this thought about them. They have been working together for four years. I assume they know each other very well. I have seen Taehyung handle him perfectly, and I know that Jungkook will have a hard time adjusting if Taehyung ever quits his job. He is that dependent on Taehyung. So I thought, why not give this relationship a try? They seem to have the chemistry. All they need is just a push in the right direction.”
Yoori completes her speech. Youngho and Seohee look at each other.

"Well, I don't mind the proposal," Seohee says after giving it some thought. "Mr. Jeon is a decent and capable young man, according to what I've heard from Tae, and up to this point, he hasn't given Taehyung any reasons to be upset. In addition, I also want Taehyung to find a partner. He frequently rejects offers and courtships under the pretext of this work, so I don't think I'll object if he accepts this proposal. However, we shouldn't put any pressure on him.”

“I had the same thought as well.” Youngho adds.

"Okay then, I'll talk to the kids and let you know after."

Taehyung stops humming when he notices Sujeong sleeping. He carefully places her in her crib and kisses her on the cheek. He quietly closes the room door and returns to the kitchen. Jimin was doing the dishes. Sujeong, the omega's one-year-old pup, was born to him and his mate, alpha Yoongi.
"Is she sleeping?" Jimin asks. Taehyung hums.
"So, Tae, what did you decide?" Jimin keeps washing the dishes.
"I don't know Jimin." It came out of nowhere. I've never looked at him in that way before, so I'm at a loss for words. Jimin completes the dishes, washes his hands, wipes them with a cloth, and says,
"So you're going to reject her proposal after she gave you a week off to think?" Jimin chuckles. "
Taehyung pouts. Jimin then comes forward and cups his cheeks.
"Hey, Tae, look at me. I'm going to ask you a few questions, and you will answer them honestly, okay?" Taehyung nods.
"Do you have anyone you like? or any sort of crush?"
" No".
Jimin hums. "Do you think you will try to find someone?"
"No," Taehyung says again.
"Isn't Jungkook handsome and attractive?"
Taehyung pauses before he nods, " Yes"
"Does he ever make you uncomfortable?"
No, says Taehyung, shaking his head. Jimin still continues, " Do you feel safe with him?"
" Yes".
"There you go, the basic things look pretty much okay to me; now think again, okay?". Taehyung takes a deep breath. "I suppose I could give it a shot." Jimin beams. "Tae, that's it!" That's the spirit, and besides, I'm pretty sure the guy will be amazing in bed." Jimin wiggles his eyebrows suggestively. Taehyung looks shocked at him and flushes beet red. " Jimin stop! He's my boss!"
"But it will be your husband soon." Jimin grins.

"You will say yes to the proposal," Hoseok says as he throws the basketball into the loop. Yugyeom takes the ball again and bounces it. "I agree." He voices. Jungkook looks at the other alphas. "Why do you think that?" he asks, offended. Jungkook tackles Hoseok as he throws the ball to the loop. "Otherwise, you won't be discussing this with us." Hoseok says, shrugging and going to sit on one of the benches. "Till now, you have been on about 50 dates and have had a lot of courting offers, but you have not mentioned even one of them to us. That means you are actually considering this. Yugyeom points out.

"And I know he'll most likely be my brother-in-law, so please forgive me for saying this, but have you seen his face and those curves?" He's illegal, damn! . You must be blind to miss that."
Jungkook glares at him and says, "Shut up if you don't want me to punch you in the face." Yugyeom surrenders by raising his hands.
" Okay, fine, I agree that I am considering this proposal. I just don't know, I'm not sure. I've never been in a relationship, so I'm not sure how this works, but with secretary Kim, I suppose I can give it a shot, sighs Jungkook.
"Don't worry, Jungkook; everything will be fine," Hoseok says as he pats his back. "I'm sure, though I'm curious how your alpha will remain calm when such an alluring omega will be yours."

"Mine? Secretary Kim will be only mine?" Jungkook ponders. A small smile appears on his lips.

"I think I'm finally settling down, guys.".
He announces as he throws the ball into the loop.

Chapter Text

“ I, Jeon Jungkook, take you, Kim Taehyung, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part.”

“I, Kim Taehyung, take you, Jeon Jungkook, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part.”

The priest says, "You may now kiss the groom."

 "Oh god! Jungkook wondered why he was so nervous, but he still leaned in. Taehyung closes his eyes in anticipation.

"Fuck my heart will probably stop if it beats like this." Taehyung thinks. 

Jungkook gently presses his lips against Taehyung's. a chaste kiss. He kisses him briefly before leaning back, and Taehyung opens his eyes. According to Jungkook, Taehyung looked absolutely breath-taking at the time, so much so that Jungkook forgot about literally everything. His alpha howled happily inside him, feeling content for the first time in a long time. He smiles at Taehyung, who returns it with a shy smile. 

Jeon Yoori had planned a lavish celebration to welcome Taehyung into their family. Jungkook and Taehyung stood in the centre, greeting everyone. Taehyung just wanted to get out of this tight suit and collapse onto his bed after a long day.

"Are you all right, Secretary Kim?" Jungkook's voice jolted him out of his reverie.

 "Oh yes, I'm just tired." Jungkook nods in agreement.

"Don't worry, it'll be over soon and we'll be able to go home."

 "Eager to be home already? Can't wait to get your hands on each other?

Jimin appears with Yoongi, who is holding a sleeping Sujeong. Taehyung glares at him. Jungkook clears his throat.

" Jimin-ssi, we didn't meet properly earlier." This is your alpha, I assume?

Jungkook looks at Yoongi.

 " Yes, I am, Min Yoongi.

Yoongi stretches his hands . Jungkook takes it.

 And this is our angel, Sujeong Jimin adds caressing her face.

 " She's cute," Jungkook coos.

"Don't worry, you will also have cute babies now," Yoori says as she comes with Jinho.

"And we can't wait for that," Jinho says with a fond smile.

Jungkook and Taehyung look anywhere but at each other. Both turn red.

"Why is everyone talking about kids and..." Jungkook gulps as he thinks. 

"Kids? For that, won't we have to? "Taehyung couldn't even complete his thoughts.

After a few seconds, both give each other an awkward smile.

Both arrive home after what seemed like an eternity. Taehyung stood at the door, thinking. "I never imagined this would be my home one day." Jungkook had already begun climbing the stairs when he became aware of Taehyung's absence. He turned around to see Taehyung deep in thought by the door. "Secretary Kim? Is something wrong? What are you doing standing there?" 

' Oh! Nothing, sir; I'm coming." Taehyung follows Jungkook to his room. They both stand silently in the room.

"Hmm... so... I assume you'll be staying in this room with me?" says Jungkook, clearing his throat.

"Isn't that what we're supposed to do?" Taehyung inquires, unsure.

"Well, I guess, yes, I mean, the bed is so big that we can probably play around on it."

Jungkook attempts to lighten the mood, which only adds to the awkwardness. “I'll just go take a shower and come back. I believe Mom has organised everything in your closet. Familiarise yourself.”

With this, Jungkook literally dashes to the restroom. "That was embarrassing and awkward." Taehyung pondered. Taehyung goes to freshen up after Jungkook returns. He returns to find Jungkook wearing grey sweatpants and a black oversized t-shirt, working on his laptop. Taehyung had never seen Jungkook in such a casual outfit before.

"He does appear to be the attractive neighbor."

 Taehyung gives a light chuckle. That piques Jungkook's interest. "Secretary Kim, why are you smiling?" Perplexed, Jungkook inquires.

 "There is nothing, sir. What exactly are you doing?"

"I'm looking for some articles that can help us clarify our new paracetamol proposal."

"Can I assist you, sir? "I'm not really sleepy right now."

“ Of course, Secretary Kim, please come here. Taehyung then joins Jungkook on the couch next to their bed.

The next few minutes were spent with both of them reading articles, discussing the points they believed were important to their project, Taehyung taking notes on all of their conclusions, and Jungkook making them both a cup of hot chocolate. They were now sitting in silence. This is what they were accustomed to. They had always enjoyed working together, and after a long day of awkward conversations and embarrassing situations, these familiar interactions and moments relieved them. Both fell asleep on the couch later. They're probably the only couple in the world to have spent their first night together like that. But this was CEO Jungkook and Secretary Kim speaking to you.

As the sun shines on his face, Taehyung squints his eyes. He sighs and stretches his hands. He was covered with a blanket. "How did it get there?" he questioned. Jungkook abruptly emerged from the bathroom as Taehyung was about to stand up, and he was completely unprepared for what he saw. Only a towel was wrapped around Jungkook's waist. He still had wet hair. Small drips of water cascaded from the top of his head, trickling down his throat before landing on his broad, chiselled chest. Taehyung was aware of Jungkook's good physique, which was apparent from the tight clothes he wore. But it was like going into battle to see that sinful body exposed. Unaware of Taehyung's inner turmoil, Jungkook stood in front of the mirror with his back to Taehyung, blow-drying his hair. Taehyung gulps at the sight. Oh God, he was a weak soldier. When did Jungkook get that enormous tattoo of a phoenix on his back? Taehyung was aware of Jungkook's right arm tattoos. This one, though, it was as if the phoenix was moving with each flex of his muscles. Drooling? Taehyung was positive about it.

 "Oh, Secretary Kim, are you awake?"

Taehyung swiftly transitioned from his internal struggle to the more professional front to which he was accustomed, as if a switch had been flipped. "Yes, sir. Good day."

Thank goodness, the ride to work wasn't uncomfortable or awkward. People kept congratulating them as they went together through the building's halls. They both expressed their gratitude as they continued walking. Jungkook and Taehyung were shocked to find a huge cake on a platter in the middle of the office when they finally made it to their floor. The entire staff applauded and surrounded them.

"Here's to a happy married life for CEO Jeon and Secretary Kim." One man smashes a champagne bottle, and another shouts. The constant attention flustered Jungkook and Taehyung. They proceed together in the direction of the cake. "Come on, guys, this wasn't necessary," Taehyung says politely.

 "Why not? It's not everyday we get to celebrate the union of a beautiful omega and a handsome alpha." Min Ji coos. "Now cut the cake, please," she says excitedly.

 Taehyung looks at Jungkook, who nods, and they both hold the knife together as they cut the cake. The whole floor erupted into cheers. Jungkook fed Taehyung a piece of cake, and Taehyung reciprocated. Then they look around and smile at everyone, thankfully. Jungkook then noticed a bit of cake smeared near Taehyung's lips. He absentmindedly wipes it with his thumbs. The action causes Taehyung to halt and look at him. As they both lock their gazes, they get lost for a moment.

"Kiss, kiss, kiss."

 They were brought back by the loud chanting of the staff. Taehyung flushes deeply at that and looks down. Jungkook, who was still looking at him, smiles lightly. The staff continues to chant, and Jungkook slowly approaches Taehyung. He gently holds his chin and raises it. Taehyung's sparkling almond eyes look at him. Jungkook looks as if he's asking permission, and Taehyung nods softly. Jungkook leans slowly as he cups his cheeks and joins their lips. This time, Jungkook slowly moves his lips, and Taehyung, though frozen for a moment, kisses him back. His lips were warm and soft. They parted slightly, allowing Jungkook's tongue to slip inside. Taehyung's soft coconut scent with a trace of cinnamon did not help at all, and Jungkook felt like he had tasted heaven. Jungkook breaks the kiss reluctantly because he isn't really confident about controlling his alpha. As they broke the kiss, they looked anywhere but at each other.

" Okay I guess that's enough. Thank you for the cake, guys! Jungkook says as he gives Taehyung one last look before going to his cabin. Taehyung lets out a deep breath.

" So Secretary Kim! Or should I call you Secretary Jeon now? Minji giggles as she pinches his cheeks.

"Oh! "I never thought about that," Taehyung ponders before giving her a sheepish smile.

Later that day, while signing some documents, Jungkook hears a knock at his door. "Come on in." Without raising his head from the papers, he says.

"Oh my, JK! "You recently got married, and you're already working again?"

The chamber reverberates with Hoseok's dismayed voice. He is ignored by Jungkook, who carries on with his work.

 "Since when do you knock on the door before entering?" Jungkook cocks his brows as he considers Hoseok.

"Well, I figured if I just stormed in, I'd have to watch some steamy hot workplace romance," Hoseok shrugs. "You know, since you got married and you have such a handsome husband within your reach." The suggestion makes Jungkook's ears turn scarlet.

 "How was last night, then? Got any action?" He wiggles his eyebrows. Jungkook gives him a perplexed expression.

"Hyung, I'm not talking to you about that. Thank you very much."

 Jungkook is frustrated. Just as Hoseok was ready to respond, Taehyung entered through the door. He smiles broadly at Hoseok when he sees him.

"It's good to see you, Hobi hyung." Taehyung says as he moves forward and approaches the desk.

"I'm glad to meet you too, Taehyung. Honestly, I was hoping to meet you both. We made the decision to get together tonight for a brief celebration for you guys at Seokjin Hyung's house. Namjoon will be there too, and I have informed Jimin and Yoongi as well. Come to his house by 7 in the evening.”

“Secretary Kim do we have any other schedules tonight?

“No, sir, I think we can manage to go.” Jungkook nods. " I just came to give these," he says as he places the documents in front of Jungkook. " Okay then I will see you in the evening Hyung, Taehyung smiles and leaves.

"Do you have some sort of sir kink?" Hoseok asks pointedly.

" What the fuck? "Why would you ask that?" Jungkook looks disgusted.

" Would you care to tell me why your husband is calling you sir?" Hoseok demands.

" Well, I don't know, out of habit maybe?".

Hoseok sighs, " I'm leaving, I can't stand your stupid ass" Hoseok announces as he leaves. Jungkook was left confused. 

When they arrived at Seokjin's house, the guys were already arranging the plates. " Oh Tae and Jungkook! Come inside; we were just setting up the plates. Namjoon smiles as he carries the bowls to the table. Yoongi, Jimin, and Hoseok were already seated. Jungkook takes the seat next to Yoongi, while Taehyung sits next to Jungkook.

 " Oh my dear brother and brother-in-law. Welcome to my humble abode. " Seokjin bows dramatically.

"To whom, exactly, are you referring, my brother and brother-in-law?" snorts Yoongi.

"Well, since Tae is Joonie's brother, he's mine too. So that makes Jungkook my brother-in-law. Seokjin says simply.

Everybody looks at him, and Namjoon shocked. "Baby, we were supposed to do that together," Namjoon says softly.

Seokjin beams, " Sorry Joonie, I couldn't wait to share it."

 "Guys, we actually planned this dinner to make an announcement as well," Namjoon says looking at Seokjin. "Me and Jin have decided to get married.

 "We know it's unexpected, and we're both Alphas, so it's complicated. But we love each other, and I don't think I could live without him." Namjoon kisses Seokjin's hands holding them.

"You guys are so cute," Jimin exclaims. Jungkook smiles and nods in agreement. "Congratulations, Hyung; I'm happy for you both." Taehyung says this as he stands up to hug them both.

 Everyone congratulates them, and they all engage in conversation. Jungkook replaces the soup in front of Taehyung with Japchae. Taehyung looks at him, puzzled. "The soup is really spicy; you can't handle that well, and Japchae is your favourite," Jungkook shrugs.

 Taehyung looks at Jungkook as if he is seeing him for the first time. " You're aware of that?

"We've been together for four years," Jungkook says with a smile. "Secretary Kim, I know you better than you realise."

The ride back home was enveloped in a comfortable silence, with Jungkook humming some old songs while driving and Taehyung getting lost in Jungkook. Taehyung stares at Jungkook for a few moments before turning to watch the view outside. After they reach home, both freshen up and go to bed. Taehyung turned on his side, facing Jungkook. Jungkook was lying on his back with his arms under his head. The moonlight lit the room in all its glory, and it illuminated Jungkook's features. He looked so handsome, and Taehyung couldn't believe this handsome guy was his. " His alpha" Taehyung's cheeks turned a beautiful pink at that thought.

 “Goodnight....Jungkook," Taehyung murmurs softly in a calm voice.

 Jungkook stills for a moment, and he turns on his side to see Taehyung, looking so beautiful with pink cheeks. He gives a knowing smile.

"Goodnight, Taehyung," he says finally.

They both looked at each other without uttering a word. Taehyung's hand was between them, the palm flat on the bed. Jungkook thinks for a moment before reaching out and gently placing his hands on Taehyung's. Both look at each other for a few more minutes before drifting off to sleep.

It was one month after their wedding that Jeon Yoori decided to show up.

" I just wanted to give the newly married couples some privacy, you know? That's why I controlled myself from barging in here. So, if I had more control, what if I got some good news soon? Yoori asks excitedly.

Jungkook chokes on the water he was drinking. Taehyung chuckled at that.

“It seems like my hopes were all in vain.” Yoori is dissatisfied.

"Nevermind, Tae, tell me about all the dates he took you on."

 Taehyung looks back at Jungkook, who gulps. Yoori narrows her eyes as she looks between them.

"Don't tell me this idiot alpha has never taken you on a date."

Taehyung's silence provided Yoori with her response. Yoori stands up and yells,

 "JEON JUNGKOOK!"

 Jungkook bolts and ducks behind Taehyung, who chuckles at the interaction.

"Come here, you brainless idiot! I didn't put all that effort into your marriage for you to be such a jerk."

 " Mom, It's okay, I mean, we never have time to go," Tae says, blocking Yoori's path to Jungkook.

"Don't say anything, Taehyung, I'm disappointed with you also. I thought you would knock some sense into him, but who am I kidding? Now you both, listen to me. You two will go on a date tomorrow. Am I clear?

 Both nod sheepishly. “Good, and if I hear that you didn't, then you will know who Jeon Yoori is. Understood? Yoori glares.

" Let's go on a movie date, Kook; I have got 2 tickets," Taehyung says, waving 2 tickets. Jungkook looks at him and then shrugs, saying,

"Okay, let's go. It's not like I have a better plan."

Taehyung giggles at that. They make their way to the theatre and take their seats. The movie begins, and both start enjoying it. At one particular funny scene, Jungkook hears Taehyung's melodious giggles, and he turns around a little to see his face. Taehyung was deeply engrossed in the movie, so he didn't pay attention. Jungkook spent a good 20 minutes just staring at Taehyung's giggling face.

"You look beautiful when you smile, you know? Jungkook says this without hesitation. Taehyung turns his gaze and locks it with Jungkook.

"God, give me a warning before saying things like that. I am not used to it." Taehyung says with heated cheeks.

 "Well, then, warning given. From now on, expect the unexpected," Jungkook proclaims dramatically.

Taehyung shakes his head at this. He still can't believe it's the same Jeon Jungkook he's known for four years. Jungkook then leans back on the chair a bit more, before smoothly intertwining their hands. Taehyung doesn't oppose. He puts his head on Jungkook's shoulder as they continue to watch the movie.

After the movie they go around on the streets. Jungkook still didn't leave Taehyung's hands.

" There is this shop that sells the best fish cakes and corn dogs. Wanna try?"

 Jungkook smiles and nods and lets Taehyung drag him to the store he mentioned. They got their fish cakes and corn dogs and started walking to the Han River Park. They settled down on the bench, munching on their snacks. Jungkook looks at the corn dog for a moment. Taehyung notices this, and he asks,

" What are you thinking? Don't tell me you're one of those K-drama chaebol types who hasn't had fish cakes or corn dogs. Jungkook laughs at that.

 " What kind of dramas do you even watch to conclude that? He laughs. Taehyungs shrugs.

"I ate a lot of these during my college days," Jungkook says, reminiscing about his past. "I wasn't at all robotic, you know? I have no regrets because I made the most of my college years. I knew I wouldn't be able to do that once I got the job, so I took advantage of the opportunity I had. I was completely wild." Jungkook laughs.

" Have you dated anyone? girlfriend or boyfriend? Taehyung inquires, curious.

"No serious relationships. I've had a few hookups and flings, but nothing serious.”

“Tae, how about you? The nickname casually slipped from him.

 " I used to date this guy in college. We were pretty much serious, but then I found him having sex with my best friend back then, on my bed."

 Jungkook winces. "I'm so sorry you went through that, Tae."

Taehyung smiles while looking at Jungkook. " Well the breakup was nasty, and I cried a lot, but I guess it was for the better."

“Obviously, duh! What would I have done if he hadn't done that? Jungkook asks, his face solemn. Taehyung laughs at his antics. Taehyung's adorable boxy smile makes Jungkook smile as well.

"I'm glad you're know? Jungkook speaks softly. "For deciding to marry you," Jungkook keeps going. "I don't think I could have done it with anyone else."

"I'm glad as well," Taehyung says quietly.

Both look at each other intensely. The next moment, Jungkook leans in, as does Taehyung. Their lips meet halfway in a passionate kiss.

Three months had passed in the blink of an eye. Jungkook sighs as he opens the door to their home. He'd just finished a long meeting and was eager to get into their bed. As he walks towards their bedroom, he takes off his blazer and loosens his tie. He was about to call Taehyung when he abruptly paused to take in the scene in front of him. Taehyung sat on their bed in nothing but a white satin shirt that reached his mid-thighs. His smooth, honey-colored legs stretched out on the bed, bent at the knee. His gorgeous collarbones were visible through the first two unbuttoned buttons of the shirt. His white shirt stood out against the black satin bedsheet. He was applying lotion to his legs, hands, and neck. Jungkook's gaze followed the movement of Taehyung's hands. The beautiful, velvety skin tempted him to leave marks on them. The room explodes with the omega's scent combined with the rich smell of the lotion he was applying. Jungkook's inner alpha was fighting to come out and claim the beautiful being on his bed. Jungkook gulps, and he realises he's getting turned on. His earthy scent grows stronger by the second. He was trying hard to focus on his breathing when Taehyung noticed him and said,

 "Oh! When did you arrive?

 "Just now." Jungkook manages to reply, keeping his tone cool.

 " I will prepare the dinner, come on” and Taehyung was out of the room. Jungkook hurries to take a cold shower right away. He was rock hard.

The following morning, Jungkook was reading the newspaper while he sipped his morning coffee. Taehyung had gone shopping for some essential groceries. He was organising the items he had purchased. One apple accidentally rolled out of his hand as he was attempting to carry the other apples to the kitchen. It finishes close to Jungkook's feet. Jungkook was unaware as he was reading his newspaper. Taehyung approaches Jungkook and kneels down before bending over to pick up the apple. Jungkook gulped and put the newspaper away as he noticed Taehyung in front of him. Taehyung was on his knees, wearing tight jeans that accentuated his curves, his back arching gracefully as he reached for the apple. The thoughts that raced through his mind were unquestionably inappropriate.

 " Tae, What exactly are you doing? Jungkook asks with all the control that he has. Taehyung looks at him with those innocent eyes as he says,

" I'm trying to pick that apple, but it rolled under the couch and I can't reach it" Taehyung bends again as he tries to take it. Jungkook immediately grabs his elbow and makes him stand.

"Allow me to do it. I will try to take it," Jungkook stuttered as he squatted down, trying to take it. He got the apple, placed it in his hands, and bolted to his room. Taehyung was left confused in the hall.

 " Why is he behaving weirdly? Taehyung wonders.

It went on like that. Jungkook frequently found himself turned on by Taehyung's mere presence. Like the other day, as Taehyung was discussing some important documents, Jungkook had this desire to know how it would feel to bend the omega over the desk and take him there. Jungkook had balled his fists tightly and counted from 1 to 50 to not let arousal cloud his mind. But he then decides to do something about this, and so now he was sitting before Hoseok, who was trying hard not to laugh.

 "What happened to, “I'm not going to tell you about him, Hyung!” Hoseok imitates Jungkook. Jungkook sulks as he sinks deeper into his chair.

"Hyung, stop."

"Okay, fine! Now coming to your problem. Well, I don't know why that is even a problem. It's only natural that you would want physical needs from your husband, and I don't think Taehyung will mind either.

"Hyung, but I don't know how to approach him about it and I am scared I will make him uncomfortable." Jungkook says it with a pout.

" Listen Jungkook, from what I heard from you and what I see, you guys are pretty much comfortable with each other, and I really don't think Taehyung will object to your advances. Okay, do one thing! Try to give him subtle hints that you want to take a further step in your relationship. like subtle touches, lingering gazes and observe him. If he looks uncomfortable, then stop that and give him some space. You can always try again. Hoseok finishes.

"Hmm, I guess I can try that," Jungkook mumbles.

It was a Saturday afternoon, and the weather was cool. The sky was dark, and it appeared that it would rain at any moment. Taehyung was in the kitchen, preparing some snacks. Jungkook arrived to find Taehyung struggling to reach a jar placed in a higher cabinet. Jungkook was reminded of Hoseok's words. "Subtle touches." He nods to himself and walks slowly towards Taehyung. He approaches Taehyung from behind, and Taehyung comes to a halt. Taehyung's back was pressed against Jungkook's chest, and he could feel Jungkook breathing close to his neck. Jungkook slowly takes the jar and brings it down, and he keeps it on the counter. Taehyung slightly turns around to come face-to-face with Jungkook. Their breathing was heavy. The house was silent, and their breathing could be clearly heard. Jungkook contemplates before placing his hand gently on Taehyung's waist. Taehyung just stands still as he looks at Jungkook. Taehyung then completely turns around to face Jungkook as Jungkook traps him by the counter with his hands on either side of Taehyung. Jungkook places both his hands on Taehyung's slender waist, and he gently squeezes the flesh there. "Can we..uhmm.." Jungkook trails off as he swallows and looks at Taehyung. Taehyung nods as he understands what Jungkook is implying. Jungkook wasted no time in joining their lips.

Their bodies pressed together heatedly against the counter. Jungkook tightened his hold on Taehyung's waist as he tilted his head and deepened the kiss. Taehyung tangles his fingers in Jungkook's hair. Jungkook gently sucked on his lower lips, and Taehyung let out a soft moan and parted his lips. He lets Jungkook slip his tongue inside. Taehyung could taste their shared breath and feel the thud of their combined heartbeat as he struggled to take off Jungkook's t-shirt. Jungkook raised his arms up as Taehyung removed his t-shirt. Then they again kissed heatedly as Jungkook hoisted Taehyung up on the counter and Taehyung wrapped his legs around Jungkook's waist. Jungkook then begins to leave open-mouthed kisses along Taehyung's jaw, trailing them towards the neck. He sucks a hickey at the junction of Taehyung's shoulder and neck, and he starts to open Taehyung's buttons. Heat pooled in their stomachs as Jungkook kept marking his skin. There was a loud ringing of the bell, and Jungkook came to a halt with a groan.

"Who the fuck is that?" he growls as he looks in the direction of their closed door. Jungkook couldn't believe his luck. He finally had a taste of Taehyung, but it was interrupted in the middle.

 " Go and see who it is." Taehyung pushes him towards the door, and he buttons himself up. Jungkook cursed as he marched towards the door and opened it with an annoyed expression. It was Jeon Yoori who stood with an unamused expression. She stares at Jungkook, asking,

"Why are you looking at me like I came in the middle of your first night?"

 Yoori scoffs as she walks inside. Jisung was trailing behind her. Taehyung stood awkwardly in the living room.

"I was passing by, so I thought I would stop here and remind you guys as usual to spend more time alone and do something nice other than work. I'm pretty sure you must have been stuck in front of that damn laptop of yours.” Yoori says annoyed. "I don't think my son would ever grant me the wish for a grandchild."

Jungkook had enough as he scowled and folded his arms over his chest.

"Well, jokes on you, because I was almost ready to grant your wish when you showed up and ruined everything." Jungkook sulks petulantly.

Yoori freezes at that, taking in Jungkook's form, who was bare-chested, his hair disheveled, and his lips swollen. She then looks at Taehyung to notice his messy appearance. " Oh! I suddenly remembered I had a very urgent meeting.” Yoori exclaims as she quickly stands up and bolts outside, "I'll see you guys later, okay?"

Jungkook still stood sulking as Yoori left, and Taehyung chuckled at his expression. "

Way to ruin the mood," Jungkook mumbles, and he takes his discarded t-shirt and goes to their room.

A few days later they had a meeting in one of Jins's famous hotels. They had just finished the meeting, and they were starting to head back home when Taehyung suddenly stopped Jungkook.

 "We are not going home today," Taehyung said softly.

 "Then what will we do? Jungkook asks, confused.

"Mom booked us a suite here for 2 days as an apology." Jungkook looked even more confused.

" What?

 Taehyung sighs as he shakes his head. "Nothing. You finish the rest and meet me in the room in half an hour, okay?"

Taehyung caresses his cheeks as he walks away. Jungkook ponders for a moment before he shrugs.

" Whatever"

Jungkook returned back to the room after 40 min. He opens the, "Tae, I'm bac... he trails off as he watches the room. The rooms was decorated with rose petals and lit with aromatic candles. Cool breeze was coming from the opened balcony. He looks around and his breathe hitches when he looks at Taehyung. He was in the same satin white shirt he wore the other day. The upper 2 buttons undone and the shirt reaching mid-thigh. His hair appeared to be wet as water droplets cascaded down his face. Taehyung's eyes had a sultry look. He walked painfully slowly towards Jungkook, who was still frozen. He stepped forward on his toes, wrapped his arms around Jungkook's neck, and drew him closer. Jungkook tightly wraps his hands around Taehyung's waist. Taehyung sighs contentedly as he nuzzles over Jungkook's scent glands.

 " Why don't we finish what we started the other day, Alpha?"

Taehyung asks, his voice low and seductive, close to Jungkook's ear. And Jungkook let go of all restraints, slamming Taehyung against the wall and kissing him hungrily. Taehyung responded with the same desperation. His tongue entered Taehyung's mouth, and his rough, calloused hands slipped inside Taehyung's shirt, feeling the velvety skin. He ran his hands all over Taehyung's body as he kissed him greedily. They break the kiss for a moment to catch their breath, and Jungkook lunges straight for Taehyung's neck. He starts to leave wet, open-mouthed kisses on Taehyung's neck and begins to suck the skin there, leaving dark hickeys.

 " Alpha.." Jungkook sucked over Taehyung's collarbones, causing him to moan. Taehyung hastily takes off Jungkook's coat and fumbles with the buttons on Jungkook's shirt. The alpha then stood in all his muscular glory, bare-chested. Taehyung ran his hands across Jungkook's abs and felt the muscles under his palms. The Alpha grabbed Taehyung's hands and wrapped them around his neck before carrying him over to the bed, bridal style. Jungkook gently places him on the bed and hovers over him. In a split second, he rips Taehyung's shirt, leaving him naked on the bed. He pauses to admire the most beautiful human being he has ever seen on this planet. Jungkook leans in slowly.

"Do you realise how stunning you are?" Jungkook murmurs, softly kissing Taehyung's cheeks. Taehyung's eyes glow a little.

"Am I?" he asks, his fingers grazing Jungkook's defined jaws and caressing his cheeks.

"Yes, you are, and I am the luckiest Alpha in the world to have you," Jungkook says as he kisses Taehyung on the lips.

A few moments later, both men panted heavily, discarding all forms of clothing on the floor as he thrusts inside him. Skin clapping, wet noises, and loud moans echoed throughout the room as both came from their high. Jungkook places a kiss on Taehyung's forehead, their hands still intertwined. "I think I'm in love with you," he says, joining their foreheads. Taehyung's breath catches and he looks at him, his eyes filled with sincerity and adoration. "Scratch that," Jungkook says then. "I'm sure I love you," Jungkook finishes as he noses Taehyung's scent gland. Taehyung hugs Jungkook tightly.

"I love you too, Kook, mark me," he says softly. Jungkook raises his head from Taehyung's neck, looking at him anxiously. "Are you sure?

"I've never been more certain about anything," Taehyung confirms. Jungkook looks at him with a wide smile. That night, the moon witnessed them claiming and marking each other as their own.

One year later

Taehyung's birthday had arrived, and Jungkook had planned a small celebration with both of their parents and friends. They had finished the cake cutting and dinner and were all relaxing in the garden. Jungkook then places an envelope in front of Yoori, who raises her brows.

"Nothing special, just thought I'd give you this," Jungkook shrugs as he returns to his seat next to Taehyung.

"What?" scoffs Yoori.

"You've finally decided to step down?" Yoori casually says, "Good riddance."

 " I suppose, sort of.” Jungkook ponders.

 Yoori smiled as she opened the envelope. "Very well, then, I'll find someone better."

"It seems like you wouldn't have to try that hard."

Jungkook says as Yoori reads the letter, and her eyes widen. Yoori looks at him and everyone else with tearful eyes. Jungkook smiles as he hugs Taehyung from behind, keeping his chins on his shoulders.

 "Congratulations! You guys are becoming grandparents and uncles,"

Jungkook announces as all of them break out in cheers. Both Taehyung and Jungkook's parents had tears in their eyes as they hugged them.

"This calls for a celebration," Namjoon says as he pops the champagne bottle.

Jungkook and Taehyung smile as they look at their family and friends celebrating.

" Secretary Kim, we have a very important project coming up," he says, placing his hands gently over Taehyung's stomach. "Will we be able to succeed at it?"

Taehyung smiles at his silliness. "Of course, sir. If we're together, we will pretty much rock it." Taehyung adds as they both grin.

THE END
