Worlds Apart - Taekook - Book 2

Chapter 230 - To Right the Wrongs

Tae felt nervous, which was unlike him when it came to business but this was business with a large dose of personal stirred in.

They'd decided to take Marie and Billy for lunch so they can discuss the diner. Tae was cautious about situations like this after the Aqua Reef disaster but he couldn't allow that to taint every future meeting and he had his husband by his side this time. Jungkook thought that taking Billy and Marie for lunch would be a great opportunity to spend time with them away from the diner. He'd initially offered to cook but Tae explained that he was nervous and would prefer to talk business away from their home.

Tae agreed with Jungkook's choice of restaurant, Delizioso ticked so many boxes for them. It provided familiarity for everyone, had great food, appeased Emiliano and was a relaxed venue. The CEO was worried about offending the diner owners by giving them the building and he hoped they would allow him the chance to explain.

"I've never seen you nervous when it comes to business." Jungkook says as he takes his husband's hand and they make a beeline for the entrance.

"That's because this isn't really business. This feels much more personal, Jungkook. I don't want to do anything that could harm my relationship with Billy and Marie."

The dancer stops just before they reach the door, turning to face Taehyung. "It won't affect your relationship with them. I might not have agreed with you buying the building in the first place but I can see why you did it and the bottom line is that if you hadn't stepped in, they wouldn't have a building to discuss."

"Let's hope Billy and Marie aren't as adverse to gifts as you are."

Jungkook rolls his eyes, "I am not, 'adverse' to gifts."

"Does that mean we can get matching cars?" Tae asks with humour because he knows full well what the response will be but it lightens the mood.

"You married the wrong man if you want matching cars."

"Don't I know it." Tae says.

Jungkook giggles, "There's no point in having matching cars. We always go in one car when we go anywhere together." He gestures towards the Audi parked behind them.

"But... imagine how great they would look parked at home, side by side... his and his cars... husband cars."

"The more you try and apply logic to it, the more ridiculous it sounds. No one buys new cars so they can look at them parked up next to each other."

"I would." Tae adds.

"No, Tae... it's the definition of wasting money." Jungkook says before kissing his husband and turning towards the door.

"Tattoos, it is... How about matching car tattoos?"

Jungkook laughs and shakes his head. "You don't even like cars. Leave the tattoos to me."

"You turn me on when you take control." Tae says quietly in his husband's ear.

"MARITOS!"

Emiliano's voice travels towards the couple as Jungkook shakes his head upon hearing Tae's comment. There is no surprise at all when it comes to the CEO's admission. Professing his sexual urges was a regular occurrence prior to the honeymoon but since then, Tae doesn't hold back and it seemed that everything Jungkook did made him horny. Taking charge of their tattoo design was hardly taking control but Tae read something more into everything Jungkook did, which was amusing most of the time. The dancer would never stop putting effort into his relationship or wanting to improve on the things he saw as his imperfections but he'd realised that he was enough for Tae as he was, whatever his personal opinions of himself, were. He remembered when he worried that he wouldn't live up to expectations, when he compared himself to Gi-Hun, the travel company mogul. Jin had been right, it didn't matter what anyone thought because the only one who mattered was Taehyung and he loved Jungkook. If the CEO had wanted a business God for a partner, he certainly had his pick, but for reasons unknown to Jungkook, Tae chose him... Tae is in love with him and who was he to argue?! It didn't hurt to remind himself of this, every time that doubt or unwelcome thoughts crept in.
