ⅩⅠⅩ

As the day drifted into evening, Jungkook found himself engrossed in his writing, the gentle tapping of keys filling the quiet room. The soft glow of the lamp illuminated his determined expression as he focused intently on his laptop screen.

Suddenly, the ringing of his phone shattered the tranquil atmosphere, and Jungkook glanced at the caller ID, noticing it was Taehyung. Before he could reach for it, Beomgyu, who was lounging nearby, intercepted the call with a mischievous smirk.

"Hello, my dear brother," Beomgyu greeted, his tone dripping with playful sarcasm. "I see you were missing your husband."

Jungkook couldn't help but chuckle softly at Beomgyu's antics, a faint blush tinting his cheeks as he wondered what Taehyung's response would be.

Taehyung's scoff echoed through the phone, his voice carrying a hint of amusement. "Give the phone to Jungkook," he replied, his tone indicating a desire to speak directly with his husband.

Beomgyu handed the phone over to Jungkook with a grin, and Jungkook's heart fluttered with a mix of excitement and nervousness as he brought the device to his ear, eager to hear what Taehyung had to say.

Taehyung asked Jungkook in a soft voice, "Are you busy?"

Jungkook replied with a soft "no." Taehyung's face lit up with delight as he made a request, "Can you come to the office?"

Jungkook felt a surge of surprise at the unexpected invitation but quickly composed himself. "Sure," he agreed, his curiosity piqued. After a couple more minutes of conversation, they hung up. Beomgyu, who had been observing the exchange with an amused grin, sauntered over to Jungkook with a mischievous glint in his eye.

"Are you a wizard or something?" he teased, his tone playful. "You've managed to turn our cold and unromantic brother into putty in your hands in just a few days. What's your secret?"

Jungkook chuckled nervously at Beomgyu's remark, feeling a mix of excitement and apprehension about visiting Taehyung's office. The sudden turn of events left him intrigued, wondering what Taehyung had in store for him and what lay ahead in their budding relationship.

Jungkook was about to head out when Beomgyu stopped him, eyeing his attire critically. "You're going like this?"

Jungkook frowned, glancing down at his outfit—a simple maroon sweatshirt and black sweatpants. "What's wrong with this?"

Beomgyu shook his head, a disapproving look on his face. "He's not just calling you to the office for some random reason. Taehyung's probably inviting you to spend time together. Maybe even a date. you look beautiful in this casual outfit, but don't you want to take Taehyung's breath away?? don't you want him to stop breathing as soon as he sees you?"

Jungkook's breath hitched at the thought of Taehyung being mesmerized by his appearance. His cheeks flushed with a mix of excitement and nervousness as he imagined the possibility. With a shy nod, he agreed with Beomgyu's words and hurried to his room, heart pounding with anticipation.

Inside his room, Jungkook rummaged through his wardrobe, searching for the perfect outfit. He wanted to strike the right balance between casual and stylish, something that would catch Taehyung's eye without seeming like he was trying too hard. After much deliberation, he settled on a classic ensemble—a crisp black shirt with twinkling stars on it paired with black jeans.

As he caught his reflection in the mirror, Jungkook made some final adjustments to his appearance. He tousled his hair just enough to give it a relaxed yet stylish look, and added a single earring for a touch of edginess. Satisfied with his appearance, he took a deep breath to calm his nerves before heading out of the house.
