74 - The Perfect Partner #TaeKook

Jeon Jungkook sat back in his chair, "What do you think of the new tagline, Mr Kim?"

Kim Taehyung, CEO of KTH Industries came around his desk and sat in the chair beside him, leaning close to read over his shoulder as he pointed out those things that had caught his attention.

Both their companies are collaborating, a first for both private companies.

His new collaborative partner, Jungkook, asked an abrupt question that made him pause.

Tagline? For the new sports car hybrids? Kim Taehyung focuses on what he's saying, not his face!

It had to be.

The focus of the marketing right now is chasing down the elusive demographic of drivers wanting fast cars that wouldn't leave a big carbon footprint.

Well, not an easy task.

Jungkook, a marketing genius sent in a proposal for them to work together.

KTH Industries has a lot of subsidiaries and its newest baby, KT Automotive, will be launched soon. Hence, they're working with the newly appointed President of JK Marketing Group.

"You mean - KT Automotive, redefining smart and sexy?" the brunette asked, "I happen to think it's quite good."

And it's the adorable bunny boy's idea.

"Because it's a good tagline? Or because it's yours?" Taehyung asked, steepling his long fingers in front of him.

Jungkook let out a giggle, knowing this was an opportunity to remind the others that his skill set extended beyond the domestic domain.

"I take credit for it. Proudly, sir. It's exactly the tone we want to set for your new line. Isn't it? Perhaps I am biased...," Jungkook looks Taehyung in the eyes and winks, "But the test group seemed to respond favourably as well."

"I know, I've seen the numbers," he agreed, smiling, one of those boxy smiles that are rarely seen.

If he kept smiling like this, he was going to burst and those unfathomable eyes riveted upon the sexy man sitting beside him, Jungkook licks his dry lips.

He tried not to get distracted by the tantalizing scent or the way his shirt hugged the well-muscled contours of his upper arm, "Thank you, sir."

"Please, Jungkook, lay off with the sir."

"Okay, noted. That's it for me, I'll let you get back to work."

Taehyung nodded, his gaze fixed not on his computer screen, but on Jungkook's exiting figure as the door pulled shut.

Jungkook frowned as he worked his way through the first three nanny candidates' resumes when he finally gave up.

It's already 8 AM, no one's gonna be able to come by his home to take care of Haneul for him. He had no choice but to call Taehyung to reschedule today's meeting - his adopted son arrived earlier than expected.

His surrogate gave birth 2 weeks earlier than planned due to a simple complication and now he's swamped with life and work, as the newly appointed president of JKMG there was too much riding on this collaboration, this project is to shut his opponent's mouths if it succeeds.

He could not afford to let things get to him, "I'm sorry, Taehyung. I can't make it to today's meeting. I have something time-sensitive to deal wit-" he stops as Haneul's high-pitched cry sounds through the baby monitor.

Taehyung smiled, then checked his watch, he could see the other stand up and say, "If you're willing, we can continue but would you mind giving me fifteen minutes? I'll get him situated and return?" Jungkook offered.
