thirty six.

Jeongguk stood beside Hoseok with his hands behind his back and chest puffed out. A smile lifted on his face as he about the confession the previous day, it grew wider when he imagined how Taehyung would arrive.

He could picture Taehyung screaming as walked in and then throwing himself onto him, as much as he'd hate how much attention that would draw it still made him blush.

The more he thought about it the harder he smiled until he began to laugh lightly.

Hoseok gave him a judgmental side eye, "Everything okay up there?"

Jeongguk cleared his throat and adjusted his posture, "Yes."

"Are you and Tae going somewhere?" Hosoek asked the man who frowned.

Tae? Why is he calling him a nickname?

"No," Jeongguk gave him a short reply. He wondered how much longer until Taehyung would come running through the doors.

"Then why are you down here? You're never down here unless you two are leaving together," Hoseok suspiciously asked the CEO. He did notice the smile that would form on the man's face and how he'd poorly cover it up.

"Just checking how security is doing, I don't want Mr. Kim getting head butted again," Jeongguk lied and impatiently began to sway on his feet. Taehyung was still not there.

That was until like an angel, Taehyung stepped through the automatic doors with an adorable smile. Jeongguk was beyond ready for whatever stupid thing Taehyung was gonna do.

"Morning," Taehyung greeted the two who did the same back except Jeongguk looked miserable. What's up with him?

"Glad you made it on time, Mr. Kim," Jeongguk sarcastically replied and lead the boy towards the elevators. He was upset, he was looking forward to Taehyung's unpredictable behaviour.

"I wasn't that late, I was like five minutes late," Taehyung defended himself and watched how employees moved out of the way for Jeongguk and even left the elevator so that it was just them two, "You need to be nicer, everyone's so scared of you here."

"Maybe I like it that way?" Jeongguk bitterly replied and stared coldly at the blurry reflections of them on the elevator doors.

"Okay big man, what opps are you tryna scare?" Taehyung joked expecting Jeongguk to tell him to speak professionally but the man kept silent, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"No there is, you're more mysterious than usual and you're mad at me when I didn't even do anything," Taehyung frowned at the man who just scoffed and stepped out of the elevator doors.

"I'm not mad at you," Jeongguk answered as he walked past colleagues and into their office. Once Taehyung was in, he shut the door behind them and closed the blinds since Taehyung would act even weirder when alone.

"What's wrong?! Tell me!" Taehyung whined and blocked Jeongguk's way who moved side to side in order to get passed.

"I just thought you'd make some massive gesture that would show everyone we're dating now, like come in screaming or something- I was excited," Jeongguk admitted shamefully and felt embarrassment grow when Taehyung squealed and pinched his cheeks.

"You're so cute! I didn't say anything because I thought you didn't want to reveal that we're dating!" Taehyung couldn't stop laughing at his boyfriend who just huffed and avoided his eyes, "I'll do something tomorrow, okay?"

"Alright, now go to your desk. We have work today," Jeongguk attempted to move away, but Taehyung had latched himself onto Jeongguk now and was cooing extremely loud.
