May The Best Man Win - A Taekook Love Story

25 - I Think I Saw Jungkook.

It was a normal day at office. Weather was good, and so was the atmosphere in the office. Everyone was minding their own business with a friendly vibe.

Jungkook and Taehyung were immersed in their work too. Suddenly the door to the department opened and Jisoo came in.

"Taehyung." She called out loudly, getting not only Taehyung's but everyone else's attention. "Your father is here to see you."

Just as the girl announced it, a rather handsome elderly man peaked his head over her shoulder. "Tae.."

Few things happened at once. Jungkook dived under the table so fast that he banged his forehead sharply on the edge.

"Shit!!" Jungkook swore as he gently touched his aching forehead to see whether it was bleeding cause it sure hurt like hell.

Taehyung shot up from his seat with a shocked face. "D-dad? W-what are you doing here?"

He walked around the table from Jungkook's side, stopping discreetly to brush his hand lightly against Jungkook's nape, offering a touch of concern.

Yoongi got up and quickly walked to Jungkook's seat as he had heard the sound of the younger's head hitting the table and also Jungkook's swearing. He bent down slightly to see whether his friend was ok.

Taehyung's father furrowed his eyebrows in confusion as he looked at where Jungkook was sitting few seconds ago. For a moment, he thought he saw his son-in-law there. He looked at his son who was rushing towards him with a panicked gaze.

"Tae, is that Jun-"

"Ohh.. Mr Kim!!" Jimin suddenly got up from his chair and ran towards the elderly man. "I've heard so much about you. I'm Jimin, Taehyung's best friend. Nice to meet you."

Mr Kim blinked few times and shook the hand that was extended towards him. "Uhh.. yes.. nice to meet you too, Jimin."

"Dad, let's go outside. There's a nice cafe across the road. You'll love that." Taehyung said in an urgent tone as he ushered the slightly confused man out of the department.

He looked back at Jungkook's workstation to lock eyes with Yoongi. He gave a sort of a pleading look to Yoongi and the latter gave a confirming nod. Jungkook had still not emerged from under the table. Taehyung shot a thankful look to Jimin too before walking out the door with his father.

"You ok there man?" Yoongi asked in a   concerned voice and Jungkook looked up to see him.

Yoongi gave out a slight gasp and so did Jimin, who had walked around from the other side.

"Get up!" Yoongi said as he pulled Jungkook up from his forearm and dragged him toward the tea room. He pulled out the tray of ice and was looking for a cloth to put few in when Jimin offered him his handkerchief.

"Here, take this." Yoongi only hummed as he took it and used it to wrap few ice cubes.

Jungkook flinched a bit and let out a small whine when the cold pouch touched his forehead and Yoongi rolled his eyes at that.

"Don't be a baby!" Yoongi muttered as he pressed the handmade ice pack to the slight bump on Jungkook's forehead.

"But hyung, it's too cold." Jungkook whined yet again and tried to step back, which Yoongi, of course didn't allow.

"Stay still!!" Yoongi said in a little stern voice this time and Jungkook stopped moving with a pout adorning his face.

"That's one nasty bump." Jimin said before he turned to walk out of the room. "Make sure you cool it down properly, grandpa."

Again Yoongi just hummed in agreement and didn't say anything as Jimin left the room. Jungkook looked at his hyung in surprise.

"You let him call you grandpa!!??" Jungkook asked in a shocked voice and Yoongi gave a nonchalant shrug.

"Well, i can't help it. It's not like he will stop it just because I say." Yoongi tired to make his voice indifferent but Jungkook was not that easy to fool.

"You like him, don't you?" Jungkook exclaimed with a grin but groaned in the next second as Yoongi had pressed the ice pack little harsher on his forehead.

"No!! What the fuck are you talking about?!" Yoongi took a step back and gave a glare to the younger.

Jungkook of course didn't mind it one bit and he looked at the other with twinkling eyes. Yoongi stood there under that soft gaze for few seconds before pushing the ice pack in to Jungkook's hand.

"Cool it down for few more minutes. I have work."

Yoongi didn't look back as he stormed out of the tea room. Jungkook gave a chuckle at his hyung's cuteness before pressing the ice pack back on to his forehead.

Taehyung sat down on the chair opposite his father and gave him the tea. He had also bought a piece of cake that he knows his father likes and waited till his father took few spoonfuls from that.

"What are you doing here dad? Why didn't you tell me you were coming to Seoul? I would have come to pick you."

"It's ok, I didn't want to bother you. I came to see a friend. He had fallen ill and is in he hospital."

"Oh.. is he ok?"

"Yeah, nothing serious. He'll be fine in few days."

They sipped their teas in silence for few minutes.

"I'm sorry if I bothered you at office, Tae bear." Mr Kim said in a apologetic tone and Taehyung gave a reassuring smile at that.

"That's ok dad. You can come anytime. I was just suprised." Taehyung answered in a soft tone.

"I was suprised more. I swear I saw someone who looked just like Jungkook there."

Taehyung gave a little chuckle at that.

"Dad.. it was Jungkook. We are working in the same office."

Mr Kim almost choked on his tea. "W-what?!"

"Yeah. But most of the people in the office doesn't know. That's why he couldn't come and talk to you." Taehyung explained the situation to his father.

And right on the cue, the cafe door opened and a slightly breathless Jungkook came in.

"Dad!!" Jungkook called in a happy voice once he spotted the duo and sat on the seat next to Taehyung. "I'm so sorry for what happened back there."

Mr Kim waived a hand dismissively. "Don't worry about it, Kookie. Tae explained to me your situation. I'm sorry for almost making trouble for you two."

"Nuh.. it all good." Jungkook reassured the elder with a smile.

"Baby you've got a bump on your forehead. Did you hit your head that hard?" Taehyung asked in a worried voice as he gently ran his long fingers over Jungkook's forehead.

"It's ok, Yoongi hyung put some ice on it. It'll go away in a while." Jungkook gave a soft smile to his husband.

Three of them talked for about 15 minutes before Jungkook excused himself. They didn't want make anyone suspicious so he was going to the office first.

Taehyung came back after about 10 minutes and he brought two pieces of delicious cake and gave them to Yoongi and Jimin who took it without saying anything.

He didn't care if anyone else in the office thought it was weird or suspicious. They looked after his baby when he couldn't and Taehyung was grateful for that.
