The Forbidding Hadalpelagic Zone | TaeJin

15. Ken... Baby...

Taehyung pressed the intercom and waited impatiently for Namjoon to reach his office.

"Hyung, did you get what I asked for?", he asked eagerly, as soon as Namjoon entered his room.

"Tae, you called me over just to ask me this?", Namjoon huffed in annoyance, "The order is on the way, and I will personally bring it here, happy?"

Taehyung nodded fast and began pacing to and fro inside his office. He was done with his work for the day and he couldn't wait to go home. Taehyung had never really been so eager to go home in the past. He had always indulged himself with work and never let his mind to wander away from work for even a second. Also, there was no one waiting for him at home back then. But now, he had someone at home. He wasn't sure if Jin would be waiting for him, but Taehyung was glad at least Jin was home.

Taehyung's smile widened more as he remembered Jimin next. That kid was the literal definition of a cute smol bean. His pure innocent eyes and genuine smile made it easy for Taehyung to get comfortable around him. And in just a week's time, Jimin had become precious to him as well. Taehyung wondered if Jimin felt the same about him. He was sure that Jimin had acknowledged him in a way but he doubted if Jimin could place him at the same level as he kept Jin in his heart. Of course, he knew that he hadn't done anything specific to establish such a close relationship with Jimin yet, but he was ready to work hard to earn his position in that child's heart.

Taehyung looked towards the door eagerly when Namjoon peeked into his office a few minutes later.

"Is it here?", Taehyung asked like an enthusiastic child.

"No...", Namjoon sighed, "Mr. Jeon Junghoon is in the building"

The happy smile vanished from Taehyung's face at once, "What is he doing here?"

Namjoon shook his head with a shrug.

"Where is he now?", Taehyung asked thoughtfully.

"Outside this door, as we speak", Namjoon replied, pointing behind himself.

"Send him in", Taehyung instructed, walking back to his seat.

Namjoon nodded and walked out of the room. A few seconds later, Taehyung heard a soft knock on his door and Junghoon entered his office.

"Good evening, Mr. Jeon", Taehyung greeted as politely as he could.

"Good evening, Taehyung", Junghoon greeted back cheerfully and took his seat across the desk.

Taehyung's mind drifted back to the information that Jin had discovered about Junghoon, and he felt sick to his stomach to even share the same air as the sick monster. He remembered the conversations he heard between Junghoon and Jin at the gym. The sweet tone that Junghoon used with his Jin echoed in his ears, and he felt a strong raise in contempt against the said man.
