Trust is a Big Word (TaeKook) - EDITED

The Bait

Taehyung and Jungkook were on their way to Big Hit. Today is Jungkook's flight to Daegu and he will be gone for two days.

"Gguk, I'll really miss you," Taehyung says as he rests his head on Jungkook's shoulder.

Jungkook wants to hug his fiancé but he was driving. So he touches Taehyung's face with his right hand and kisses his head.

"I'll miss you too, Taebear," he says.

"Promise me you'd text or call me when you're free, okay?", Taehyung looks at Jungkook with a pout.

"Stop pouting. You know what it does to me," Jungkook chuckles.

"If I keep on pouting, will you stay?", Taehyung winks at his baby.

Jungkook laughs and pinches Tae's cheeks, "How can you be so adorable?"

"Only for you," Tae touches Jungkook's nose.

"I love you too," says Jungkook while touching Tae's nose as well.

They arrived at Big Hit and goes straight to their office at the 20th floor. They share an office together with two puzzle piece tables connected, their chairs on both ends of the table. Head of Art and Head of Copy at the Advertising department.

Jungkook lays his suitcase beside his table and calls his boss' assistant to bring his plane tickets over.

Taehyung, on the other end of the table, was opening his laptop to check on his emails.

A few minutes later, a knock on the door is heard.

"Come in," Jungkook said.

A tall gray-haired woman in her 50s appears with plane tickets on her hand.

"Here you go, Mr. Jeon," she says with a smile and turns to Taehyung, "Good morning, Mr. Kim."

"Good morning, Ms. So.," Taehyung gives her his signature boxy smile.

"You look so happy today, Mr. Kim. Did you have a good weekend?", Ms. So winks at Taehyung.

Taehyung giggles as his cheeks turn red. "Ms. So, you really love teasing me, don't you?"

Ms. So laughs, "Oh, shush. You just remind me too much of my son that's why I love teasing you so much. So, when's the big day?"

Taehyung looks at Jungkook and they both smile at the question. "We're meeting the wedding planner on Sunday to discuss the best date to set it," Taehyung answers.

"Lovely! I can't wait to call you Mrs. Jeon!"

"Neither can I," Jungkook proudly says making Taehyung all giddy inside.

"Well, I'll leave you two love birds. Just call me if you need company, Taehyung since Mr. Jeon here will be away for two days," Ms. So waves at the two and leaves the room.

"On that note, I have to go, Taebear." Jungkook grabs his plane tickets and suitcase and approaches Taehyung.

"I'll see you in two days, Gguk," Taehyung stands up and gives his fiancé a goodbye kiss. It lasted for more than ten seconds as Taehyung pulls away and said, "Don't work too much and don't do anything I won't do," Taehyung gave his boyfriend a serious look.

"Come here," Jungkook says and pulls Taehyung for another kiss, touches Tae's nose and says "I love you."

"And, I love you more."

Jungkook gives Taehyung one last hug and left their office. He calls the company driver and tells him to be at the lobby in three minutes.

*************************************************

Jungkook arrives at the airport and checks in his bag. He still had an hour to wait for his flight so he proceeded to the VIP lounge to unwind first.

As he enters the lounge, he looks for an empty table and found one. As he walks to the table, he hears someone call his name. He turns around and sees Hobi, Jin and Ji-Eun? Why is she here? He mentally asks.

"Hey, guys! Are you going to Daegu as well?" Jungkook asks.

"Of course! We need to work on a few loose ends with the venue organizers," Hobi answers.

"Come, just sit here with us," Jin says.

Jungkook sits beside Hobi to his left and Ji-Eun to his right.

"Hi," Ji-Eun shyly says.

"Hey," says Jungkook back.

"Have you eaten lunch?" asks Ji-Eun.

"Yes, Taehyung and I had lunch before I came here."

"I see," Ji-Eun's smile dropped all of a sudden. Jungkook noticed.

"I'm game for coffee and dessert though," Jungkook immediately says as he didn't want to spoil Ji-Eun's mood.

Her eyes lit up again and says, "Let's get some?"

"Sure," Jungkook stands up and they left Jin and Hobi behind.

Once the two were out of earshot, Jin turns to Hobi,

"Hobi, you've got to talk to her to leave Jungkook alone."

"Jin, do you think I didn't try? I've already warned her so many times about this."

"I hope nothing happens between the two of them," Jin sounded worried, "You think we should tell Taehyung?"

"Hey, that's none of our business. The most we can do is talk to these two idiots," Hobi sighs.

***
Jungkook and Ji-Eun were getting coffee and desserts. While they were on the beverage counter, Ji-Eun sees banana milk and grabs a bottle.

"Here," hands it over to Jungkook.

Jungkook looks at her confused, "How did you know I like banana milk?"

"You told me it's your "favorite drink ever" " she giggles as she tries to mimic Jungkook's tone.

"Oh yeah," Jungkook laughs and touches his nape. "Thanks" as he gets the bottle from Ji-Eun, accidentally brushing his hand over hers.

Ji-Eun flinched at the touch.

"Sorry," Jungkook says wide-eyed.

"It's okay, don't worry about it," she giggled.

They went to the dessert table and grabs some Chocolate Chip cookies, mochi and macaroons. When they were done, they were on their way back to their table, but Ji-Eun stops. Jungkook noticed and asked why.

"Can we just stay somewhere here?" she asks.

"You don't want to sit with Hobi and Jin?", Jungkook asks.

"It's not that, but I just don't want to talk about work at the moment," she says looking at Jungkook, hoping he'd understand.

Jungkook smiles and nods at her.

Ji-Eun felt relieved and thanked Jungkook for understanding.

So, they found an empty table and started to talk about life in general and what they would have been if they weren't in their current profession.

"Photographer!," they blurted out at the same time. They looked at each other and burst out laughing.

"Hey, since we would have the whole afternoon of Tuesday free, do you want to go with me to my friend's photo exhibit? He's a famous photographer and you might know him, Park Bogum," Ji-Eun asked.

"What?! Park Bogum is a friend of yours?! I love his work! Of course I'd go!" Jungkook sounded excited.

"It's a date then," she said as she blushed.

Jungkook smiled at her and before stopping himself, "Can't wait." Just a friendly date. Jungkook convinces himself.

Unbeknownst to them, someone was watching their every move.
