The rest of the party was uneventful for most parts. Jungkook and Taehyung naturally gravitated to each other's vicinity without making it obvious. Both their teams were introduced to eachother at some point of the night but some of the encounters didn't go smoothly as either of them would like.
Taehyung could clearly see Jackson and Mark giving a stink eye to Kai from Jungkook's team which Kai, of course, returned in full force. Jenny looked down at others with a flip of her hair and Jungkook groaned internally.
The girl have clear manipulation skills which comes very handy in her work but sometimes Jungkook can't stand her superiority complex. She is very beautiful but guess it's only on the outside. But as long as she does her work professionally, Jungkook didn't had a reason to address that.
Liza and Jisoo sort of hit it off well and so did the other guys - Chenyeol, Sehun, Yugyeom and Bambam. Jimin was like a overly excited child, greeting and offering drinks to everyone and Yoongi... well, Yoongi was being Yoongi and completely ignored everyone after muttering a 'hi'.
The only time Yoongi showed any sign of social interaction was when Taehyung came and sat on the chair next to Jungkook. It seemed like Yoongi had also heard about Taehyung's attempt to buy Jungkook's drink so he was evidently keeping a close eye on the guy.
Yoongi is few years elder than Jungkook and had a soft spot for him, despite being Jungkook's subordinate. He was with the company when Jungkook joined in and they had been friends ever since.
Yoongi thinks Jungkook as his younger brother so he is determined to keep an eye out for the guy. Taehyung already knew about it but still felt a little threatened by that.
Good thing he was already married to Jungkook, otherwise he would have felt really insecure about this. It definitely would have been a nightmare if he had to court Jungkook in the office, with both Yoongi and Jin behaving like overprotective brothers.
Another interesting thing that happened was Kai's obvious attempt to flirt with Taehyung. He kept following him, despite Taehyung continuously turning him down.
At first, he didn't want to be rude on the first day as all of them would be working together from now on but couldn't help it when Kai became more and more aggressive. Even when Taehyung told him that he's married, Kai only smiled seductively. He seemed to be little drunk too.
"He doesn't have to know." Kai said while shrugging his shoulders and Taehyung took a step back in shock. "What happens in the office, stays in the office, love."
Taehyung couldn't hold back urge to put the man in his place as this was totally unprofessional and down right vulgar.
"Well, Jeon sure forget to mention that he had a man whore in his team." Taehyung said as he gave the guy a cold stare but Kai only laughed out loud.
"Jungkook doesn't care what I do in my personal time as long as I do a professional job in office.
What he doesn't know, can't hurt him."While it's the same mindset Taehyung have with regards to his own staff but Kai seemed like an asshole that could be an exception for that rule.
"And this is what you call being professional? We literally work together." Taehyung said with gritted teeth. It's getting really difficult to control his anger.
"We don't start working together till tomorrow." Kai said with an indifferent tone. "I could show you a good time tonight. Think of it as a welcome gift."
"Listen you fucking asshole-"
"What's going on here?!"
Jungkook's voice snapped Taehyung out from the angry spiral that he was so close to fall and he released Kai's shirt collar, which he hadn't realized that he had grabbed in the first place.
