As the night progressed, everyone at the Kim residence learned more about one another. Everyone remained sitting at the long table, waiting for their dessert to be served.

Jungkook discovered that Taehyung is in his last semester of college, studying literature. Yeonjun even revealed that Taehyung is currently the top student in their grade level, and no one has ever beaten him since he started college. He also learned from Jimin that Taehyung was able to run the photography club for three years in a row, which amazes everyone who is unaware of it. Because generally only seniors may manage a school organization, Taehyung had the opportunity three years ago.

"So, Mr. Kim, since you're majoring in literature, I figured you're into romance?" Jungkook asked, looking directly into Taehyung's eyes.

"I have to," Taehyung said calmly.

"William Shakespeare, Robert Frost, Edgar Allan, Pablo Neruda"

"Rumi" Taehyung responded to Jungkook. Everyone at the table was silent, observing the two. Jungkook smirked, never looking away from the brown orbs in front of him.

"I want to see you. Know your voice. Recognize you when you first come 'round the corner. Sense your scent when I come into a room you've just left." Jungkook stated, still looking at Taehyung. Everyone was taken aback by what he was saying, except Taehyung, who joined in with anything Jungkook was saying.

"Know the lift of your heel, the glide of your foot. Become familiar with the way you purse your lips then let them part, just the slightest bit, when I lean in to your space and kiss you. I want to know the joy of how you whisper 'more.'" The two declared it in unison. They said the phrase slowly and rhythmically, as if they had learned how to toss each line perfectly. They're looking at each other as if they're the only ones in the room.

"I didn't know you were romantic, Mr. Jeon," Taehyung said.

"I don't do romance, Taehyung," Jungkook said, sliding his thumb over his lower lip and locking his gaze on the beautiful man in front of him. Then Taehyung smirked.

"Neither do I, Jungkook," Taehyung remarked.

"Perfect!" Jungkook thought to himself.

They continue to stare at each other. Taehyung did not appear to be entranced by the way Jungkook gazed at him, which makes the young CEO question why, since the way he stares at Taehyung always works to all his submissive.

If only Jungkook knew Taehyung had disciplined his head and emotions to never fall in love or even be attracted to anyone because he was worried about his life. He doesn't want to take a risk since he knows he won't be able to handle his emotions if he falls in love. Being in love does not guarantee that you will always be happy. Life is not all rainbows and butterflies; there comes a moment where you'll also feel hurt and pain, but it's all part of loving someone. Taehyung knew his heart couldn't withstand pain, let alone euphoria. Whether he is happy or sad, his heart will eventually fail him, and he may suffer from cardiac arrest.

Yeonjun sang, "Sorry, I'm an anti-romantic," causing Taehyung and Jungkook to break their stare.

"LALILILA" Soobin joined Yeonjun to sing.

"What was that?" Jungkook asked his brother.

Soobin answered his older brother, "The two of you stated that you don't do romance."

"Was that necessary?" Jungkook questioned in a serious tone.

Soobin dropped his head and whispered, "I just followed Yeonjun.".

Jungkook sighed as he saw his brother sulk in his seat. He does not want to see his little brother sad.

"It's okay, Soobin," Jungkook replied in a loving tone, causing Soobin to smile at his brother.

Before anyone could react, the maids began to serve their dessert, and everyone dug into the delectable cake in front of them. Everyone except Jungkook, who is still enjoying the full-course dinner in front of him.

Taehyung became furious when he spotted Jungkook's constant stare at him. He dislikes how the young CEO continues looking at him as if Jungkook is going to eat him alive. If only Taehyung knew what Jungkook was thinking.

"Eyes on the prize, huh?" Yoongi muttered to Jungkook.

"As if you aren't doing the same to Mr. Park," Jungkook stated, causing Yoongi smirk.

"Go get your baby rather than just starting," Yoongi responded. It was Jungkook's turn to smirk.

"Trust me, I will," Jungkook answered confidently.

They spent the night until nearly 12 a.m., when they decided to call it a day.

Taehyung, his younger brother, and his parents were standing in their huge parking lot as they bid goodbye to their guests.

Taehyung and Jungkook exchanged final glances. Taehyung lowered his head, and the young CEO did the same before getting into his car.

As everyone said their goodbyes, they promised that this would not be the last time they spent time together. In just one night, the young adults became closer and became friends.

Jungkook arrived at his penthouse after around half an hour. He remained seated inside his car in his own parking lot, the engine still running, as he pulled out his phone and dialed a number. He doesn't care what hour it is or whether the person he's contacting is already asleep; all he cares about is the new submissive he's eyeing.

After a few more rings, a man on the other end of the line answered.

"Jeon! What the fuck?"

"Yugyeom, I need you to look for this guy's information," Jungkook responded. "

"A new submissive?" Yugyeom asked

Yugyeom, a private detective, became Jungkook's friend. Unlike Yoongi, Yugyeom knows Jungkook's secret. He has been working for Jungkook for quite some time, and he is the one that provides information to the young CEO's prospective submissive. Jungkook also trusts a few individuals with his secret: his lawyer, his driver, the OB doctor who checks on his submissive's condition, and his driver's wife, who keeps his penthouse clean.

"Send me the name, and I'll give you the information tomorrow; for fuck's sake, let me sleep, Jeon," Yugyeom muttered, his voice gruff, most likely from being awakened in his sleep.

"I'm expecting it after lunch," Jungkook said before ending the call.

He texted Yugyeom and, before locking his phone, went to his phone gallery and glanced at a stolen photo of a certain brunette.

Yeap. Jungkook snapped a stolen photo of Taehyung earlier when the boy received a call and was so focused on the phone that he didn't notice Jungkook was taking a picture of him.

Jungkook traced Taehyung's face on his screen phone. A sneer appeared on his lips.

"I can't wait to mark that sinful neck of yours, Kim Taehyung."
