Cold Ceo (Taekook)

Chapter 9

As they finish their meal, Tae glances at his watch, a hint of reluctance in his voice.

Tae: "Koo, I should probably get going now."

Kook's eyebrow raises slightly at the nickname.

Kook: "Koo?"

Tae: "Yes, you didn't like it?" he asked, his lower lip juts out in an adorable pout.

Kook's heart melts at the sight. How could he possibly refuse?

Kook: "I Love it", said softly.

Tae's face lights up with his signature boxy smile causing kook's breath to catch.

As Tae stands to leave, kook finds himself calling out.

Kook: "Wait"!.

Tae: "Yes"?.

Kook: "How will you go"?.

Tae: "Taxi".

Kook: "How did you come here?".

Tae: "Taxi", repeated innocently.

Kook: "From now on, you'll use my car." said sternly.

Tae opened his mouth to protest, but kook cut him off.

Kook: "I won't listen to anything."

Tae pouted cutely and kook softly chuckled.

Kook: "My driver will be waiting outside. He'll take you home safely.".

Tae: "Ok koo", said softly.

Suddenly, Tae steps forward, enveloping kook in a warm hug. After a moment of surprise, kook returns the embrace, his heart racing and cheeks flushing

Tae: "Take care of yourself, okay? Don't work too hard", murmured.

As Tae leaves, kook finds himself already missing his presence.

Later, as Tae arrives home, he turns to the driver with a warm smile.

Tae: "Thankyou uncle", said softly.

Driver: "No problem sir. It's my job", bows.

Tae: "Please, call me Taehyung. You're much older than me", said oftly.

Driver: "But sir.....

Tae: "It's my order", says cutely.

Driver: "As you wish... Taehyung.", chuckled.

As Tae heads inside, the driver smiles to himself.

Driver: "Mr. Jeon really has found himself a gem."

Tae was about to go to his room when kook's mom stops him, her eyes narrowed suspiciously.

Mrs. Jeon: "Why were you in my son's car?"

Tae: "Jungkook asked his driver to bring me home after I visited him at work.", replied calmly.

Mrs. Jeon was taken aback, knowing kook never let anyone use his car.

Mrs Jeon: "Next time don't sit in Jungkook's car", she ordered rudely.

Tae: "Why"?

Mrs Jeon: "Because I said so. You don't deserve to sit in that expensive car," she said harshly.

Tae: "If Jungkook has no problem then why do you have a problem mother in law", replied politely.

He walks away, leaving Mrs. Jeon fuming silently.

That evening, kook arrives home earlier than usual, his eyes scanning for his Tae.

Mrs. Jeon: "Jungkook, dear! You're home early. Shall we have dinner together?"

Kook ignores her and goes straight to  his room where he finds Tae lounging on the bed, scrolling through his phone. He keeps staring at him.

Tae: "Koo", said softly.

Without a word, kook crosses the room and pulls Tae into a tight embrace. He closes his eyes, inhaling Tae's comforting scent

Kook: 'My baby'.

As they pull apart, their eyes lock. Tae leans in and pressed a soft kiss on kook's forehead. Kook's eyes flutter closed at the tender gesture.

Tae: "Tough day?", asked softly.

Kook: "Better now.", pecked tae's chest.

They share a quiet smile, a world of unspoken feelings passing between them.

Later, after sharing a private dinner in their room, they settle into bed and both fell asleep in each other's arms.
