nine.

Jeongguk tapped his foot against the shiny cleaned floor of his holding, arms crossed and occasionally uncrossing to check the time. It was 9:30 am, and the event would start at 10 am. Taehyung was still nowhere to be seen and it would take at least twenty minutes to get there, it was ideal to be there early to prepare everything.

Hoseok quietly yawned behind Jeongguk, he wasn't too phased since it just meant he had more time away from social events. He side eyed Jeongguk who tutted and pulled out his phone to eventually to call Taehyung.

He paused when he saw that Taehyung had texted him at least thirteen twenty minutes ago.

Jeongguk raised his eyebrows in both confusion and amusement. Taehyung was definitely an odd character and so terribly unprofessional, but it was entertaining at times. He put the phone away and looked up at the sound of loud cheering and panting.

"I'm here! I'm here!" Taehyung gasped for air and dragged his feet towards  Jeongguk. He was a complete mess; hair running in all directions, suit and tie all messed up, and face red.

"Thankfully," Jeongguk mumbled under his breath and walked over to the boy, he sighed and extended his arms to fix the boys collar.

"Oh!" Taehyung wrapped his arms around  Jeongguk's waist. Why's he hugging me? Is he that happy I'm here?

Jeongguk cleared his throat and gently pushed Taehyung away, "There will be a lot of reporters, so make sure you look good," Jeongguk briefly ran his fingers through Taehyung's hair and then straightened out the boys suit for him, "And act professional," he sternly spoke.

"Yes boss," Taehyung was still catching up on his breath and didn't waste time exiting the building towards the car. Jeongguk and Hoseok followed behind him, and as expected the driver ran to Jeongguk with an umbrella whilst the other two got into the car by themselves.

It's just the damn sun it's not like he's gonna die from standing in there for a few seconds. Taehyung rolled his eyes and accidentally slammed the door shut out of annoyance. Oops.

What's with his attitude? Jeongguk judgmentally side eyed him and silently adjusted himself. He nodded at the driver who started up the car and began to drive faster than needed to get there on time.

Once again it was a silent ride, this time though Taehyung was too tired to start a conversation. Staying up coming up with solutions to save Jeongguk's reputation took longer than he had expected, he ended up falling asleep on FaceTime at 3 am and was up at 6 am to get ready again.

His entire body jolted awake when they suddenly came to a halt causing everyone inside to rock. He felt his body fall forward, however an arm placed over his chest pushed him back.

"Did you get into an accident?" Jeongguk spoke keeping his hand firm against Taehyung's  pounding heart. He furrowed his eyebrows as he tried to get a better view of why they had stopped.

"No sir, apologies the person in front stopped suddenly. We are five minutes away," The driver spoke slightly irritated that he had to stop.

Taehyung glanced down at Jeongguk's veiny hands, feeling his heart get faster due to how attractive they looked against him. He shook away the thoughts and gently pushed the man's hand away, instead he took his phone out to distract himself.

Once the car started again, Jeongguk's eyes shifted onto Taehyung's screen and squinted as he tried to see what the strange image was on Taehyung's phone. Eventually he gave up and took his own phone out since he guessed the boy was posting something stupid again.
