Stuck With You [Taekook ff]

2 | His Unborn Child

∗⋅◈⋅∗

He had finally made it to the martial arts dojang. Taehyung had started fighting as a preschooler and the art of the Asian technique was a friend to him. Besides teaching him to fight, it taught him how to be methodical, to remain calm and to practice breathing techniques. The classes also helped him stay fit. He loathed other forms of exercise but loved this practice of martial arts.

The class only lasted 45 minutes. Taehyung was in the early a.m. group. He usually came about three times per week. During the week, the time was 6am and on weekends, 10am.

The class began and students rehearsed their breathing. After practicing hand blocks and other offensives, they moved to kicks. At the end of the class he went to the showers and got cleaned up and dressed for work.

Kim Taehyung's life consisted of going to work, practicing Tang Soo Do, hanging out with his friend group, and playing games on his XBox, phone or iPad. He was just an ordinary guy that lived a routined life that was all organized using about 2-3 planners per week. His friends thought he needed more spice in his life but he was comfortable with how he spent his time as he enjoyed the simple things. His pastimes seemed boring to others but truth be told, Taehyung was never bored.

He had to admit that he was a rigid planner. Every event in his life was scheduled. Each Sunday, he'd look at his main agenda on his desk in his apartment, and plan for work, exercise, time with friends, and visits with his parents. He even penciled in what he planned to have for dinner each day. He'd schedule in work first, which was mostly always 8am-4:30pm. The only thing he didn't like to plan was sex. But his former girlfriend Tailor ONLY planned intercourse. That's a whole other story. The heifer.

Taehyung was employed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He and his fellow employees' offices were housed in the J. Edgar Hoover Building, located on Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, D.C. He worked in the Criminal Investigative Division with the Economic Crimes Unit (ECU) along with his five best friends, Jimin, Namjoon, Yoongi, Seokjin, and Hoseok.

He didn't work in the field, as in on the streets. He was an in-house Management & Program Analyst. Basically, he ran reports and searched for discrepancies of financial records and other files belonging to people that were suspects. This was not his dream job but it paid well. He hoped to one day move up the ranks and actually put his criminal justice and law degree to more meaningful work. But until, then, this would do.

The Pennsylvania Avenue location was the FBI headquarters. The building was a prominent Brutalist structure located in Washington, D.C. Completed in 1975, the building featured a stark, fortress-like design with heavy, concrete elements and minimal ornamentation, reflective of its government function. It occupied a full city block along Pennsylvania Avenue, with a series of tiered balconies and recessed windows. When Taehyung started working for the bureau, he felt a prestigious ambience as the agents parked their cars and bustled their way into the main entrance with their FBI badges on.

Taehyung's parents were ecstatic that he was now back home and working for such a powerful organization. They were proud to discuss with their friends how their son was busy fighting crime, taking down the big bad guys. When they'd watch the news and see criminals being caught, they always assumed their son had something to do with it. He couldn't seem to get them to understand that he was simply a reports guy. Yeah, he'd passed the Basic Field Training Course (BFTC) in order to become an agent. So, he knew how to use a gun or physically take on any opponent and win. But, he didn't get to use those skills in his office.

Upon arrival at the Hoover Building, Taehyung headed straight to his office where he found Jimin waiting for him. He was leaning on Taehyung's desk playing with his pendulum.
