As the morning sun shone through the windows, Taehyung rushed about his home completing his morning routine with haste. His grandmother sat in a nearby chair, shaking her head in affectionate frustration at her grandson's chaotic start to the day. She had already prepared breakfast and was used to Taehyung's tardy wake-up calls, as they had been a regular occurrence during his college days. But now that he had a job, punctuality was becoming increasingly important.

After facing various struggles to get ready, Taehyung stood in front of the familiar towering building where he would now work every day. It was 7:56 AM, leaving him just four minutes to quickly collect his icy bosses schedule from his cabin before making his way straight to his cold boss's office.

Taehyung speed walked towards the elevator and entered. Once the doors opened with a 'ding', he rushed towards his cubicle and quickly picked up his boss's schedule. With a few seconds to spare, he stood in front of his boss's cabin, mentally preparing himself for the task ahead.

Taehyung took a deep breath and knocked on the door, steeling himself for the interaction to come. After a moment, he heard the familiar cold, deep voice respond with a firm 'come in.' With a surge of reluctant confidence, Taehyung stepped into the room.

He found himself facing a figure that exuded power and authority, his back turned towards him, gazing out the floor-to-ceiling glass windows that offered a breathtaking view of the city and surrounding buildings.

Taehyung broke the silence with an attempt to explain the schedule to Jungkook, only to be swiftly interrupted by the man himself.

Jungkook spoke in a deadpan tone, his back still facing Taehyung. "You're late," he stated coldly.

Taehyung glanced at his watch, confirming that he was only two minutes late. He couldn't help but express his surprise at Jungkook's strictness, replying firmly, "But sir, it's just two minutes."

Jungkook remained motionless, still facing the window and not sparing Taehyung a glance. His response was equally firm, "Every minute counts."

Taehyung stared at Jungkook in disbelief, explaining his reasoning, "That's true, but sir, it's just two minutes. I think it might be because of traffic, and also, two or three minutes usually pass quickly—"

Before he could finish his sentence, Taehyung abruptly fell silent when he noticed Jungkook walking towards him. The cold yet attractive expression on his face added an extra layer of intimidation as he continued approaching. Feeling trapped, Taehyung instinctively stepped back until his back made contact with the wall.

Jungkook leaned in close, his towering figure towering over Taehyung's smaller frame. His gaze bore into Taehyung, forcing the latter to avoid eye contact due to the intense and burning intensity of his gaze.

With a dangerously low voice, Jungkook spoke, his tone gravelly and authoritative, "Don't you dare talk back to me again. I have already warned you once, and this is the last time I'm saying it. If you make one more mistake and dare to talk back to me, I will not hesitate to throw you out of my company. I really mean it. Understand?"

Taehyung was too stunned to respond verbally, feeling the weight of Jungkook's cold gaze. Without making eye contact, he nodded his head in a silent gesture of understanding, absorbing the firm warning issued by his boss.

Jungkook slammed his hand hard against the wall, sending a loud and sharp sound echoing throughout the room. The sudden gesture startled Taehyung, who let out a shrill yelp in response.

With shaky voice, Taehyung stammered, "Y..yes, sir."

Satisfied, Jungkook nodded and leisurely moved towards his desk, crossing his legs as he took a seat. His gaze continued to bore into Taehyung's soul, the intensity in his eyes unwavering.
Jungkook dismissed Taehyung, giving him instructions to prepare and check everything in the meeting room for the meeting that would take place in 45 minutes.
