A new morning came, as rays of sunshine fell upon Taehyung making him awake from his slumber. The harsh rays of the sun made him squint his eyes as he dragged his feet towards the bathroom. His extreme headache was making things even harder as if the hangover was not enough to pester him in the morning. He gulped down some painkillers for the headache so that he could actually function. The headache subsided a bit as he went to check Jeongguk, whom he totally did not care about. He "casually" went to check his employee with "no care" or so he thought.

After reaching there, he was met with a groaning Jeongguk who was having a hard time standing up. Seeing that, Taehyung just sighed and shook his head. He went to him and said, "Hey, don't put pressure on your leg. Wait, let me help you," he offered.

But the other denied almost immediately, "No need I can handle myself."

"But it doesn't seem so. See you are not even able to stand properly and you are saying you can handle it." Taehyung mocked.

"I would rather cripple around than take your help." Jeongguk snapped at the other, who scoffed.

"Oh really! But last time I checked you reached here only with the help of mine." Taehyung retorted, emphasizing the word 'mine'.

"As much as I remember, I didn't ask for your help!" Jeongguk fired back nonsensical things, knowing very well that the older male was right.

"Oh is it so, then why did you call me more than 20 times at that moment? For what to play, sing, or dance, huh? Accept it that you did want my help," Taehyung said while rolling his eyes.

"So? What else could I have done, let them do whatever they wanted? And also that was for your mistake 'cause you were the one who sent me for that stupid fieldwork. Wait... now I feel like you deliberately sent me there so that you can get rid of me. Oh my God, now everything seems clear to me, you did it intention- -"

Before Jeongguk could finish his rambling, his legs lost their control and he slipped. He tried to grab Taehyung's shirt for support but instead, both of them fell on the bed. Taehyung over Jeongguk. Their eyes locked on each other and an unusual feeling was felt in their stomachs. Both got lost in each other's eyes and started to admire the facial features of the other. Even though only a couple of seconds had passed, the young males felt that they were clinging to each other for an eternity. Taehyung again seemed to find the familiar smiling face in the other's eyes.

But soon their eye contact broke by Yoongi's voice, "Good morning, the breakfast is rea--", he stopped seeing the two on the bed, one on the other. After seeing Yoongi, Jeongguk immediately pushed Taehyung harshly off his body who stumbled a bit and cursed himself for being carried away by the other's features.

Yoongi just watched them with wide eyes and thought, 'Didn't he last night say that Jeongguk was just his employee and nothing else. Then why the fuck they were in this position?'

"Hyung, wait, I can explain. It's not what you think. It's something that you can't think about," Taehyung blabbered when he saw Yoongi frozen in his place and Jeongguk's cheeks were red with embarrassment. Both Jeongguk and Yoongi were confused. No, both of them were confused about different things.

"Whatever it is, I don't care. After all, it's your life. Who am I to say or judge anything?" Yoongi had a poker face on. Taehyung understood that Yoongi was upset due to his rude behavior last night. Therefore, he mentally made a note to apologize to his hyung.

"Wait... can anyone explain to me why the managing director is here? And why is the CEO calling him hyung?" Jeongguk was extremely confused.

It was then time for the other two to become stiff and/or anxious. Both of them looked at each other before opening their mouths. "He is my... cousin?" Taehyung was unsure.
