The morning sun streamed through the office windows, casting a soft glow over the workspace. Jungkook arrived at the office earlier than usual, eager to start the day with his usual dose of cheer. It had become his mission to lighten the mood in the office-and if that meant cracking through Taehyung's cold exterior, well, that was just a bonus.

As soon as Jungkook entered the room, he spotted Taehyung at his desk, already focused on his computer. Taehyung was impeccably dressed as always, his black suit fitted perfectly, his dark hair styled back neatly. The sight of him made Jungkook's heart do an involuntary flutter.

Not that he would ever admit that to himself.

"Morning, Mr. Kim!" Jungkook chirped, bounding over to his desk with his usual energy. "Did you sleep well?"

Taehyung barely glanced up from his computer, his fingers typing away. "I slept fine."

Jungkook plopped down in his chair and leaned back dramatically, tilting his head to the side as he gazed at Taehyung. "You should try sleeping more, you know. A beauty like yours needs its rest."

Taehyung paused for a brief second, just a millisecond too long for it to go unnoticed. His fingers hesitated on the keyboard before he resumed typing, his expression unchanging. "Focus on your work, Jungkook."

But Jungkook caught it. That tiny flicker of surprise. He smiled to himself, knowing he was getting somewhere. He leaned forward, resting his chin in his hand, pretending to look through some papers on his desk.

"Do you work this hard because you're naturally talented," Jungkook started in a teasing tone, "or are you just trying to impress me?"

Taehyung's eyes snapped up at that, his gaze narrowing as he met Jungkook's playful eyes. "Why would I try to impress someone as... unfocused as you?"

Jungkook let out an exaggerated gasp, pressing a hand to his chest. "Oh, Mr. Kim, you wound me! I'm very focused-just not on boring things like spreadsheets."

Taehyung's lips twitched, and Jungkook could've sworn he almost saw the ghost of a smile. Almost. He could feel it-Taehyung was cracking. Slowly, but surely.

Jungkook decided to push a little more, just to see how far he could go. "If you ever need tips on how to unwind and have fun, I'm your guy. I could take you out for coffee, or, you know... something more exciting?"

He winked, and Taehyung's brow twitched in response.

There was a beat of silence before Taehyung spoke, his voice lower, colder. "You're quite bold, aren't you?"

Jungkook shrugged, his grin widening. "Only when it comes to people worth the effort."

Taehyung's eyes darkened slightly, and Jungkook could feel the tension in the air shift. For a moment, it felt like Taehyung was sizing him up, his gaze intense and unreadable. But before Jungkook could say anything else, Taehyung returned to his computer, his expression neutral once again.

"Get back to work, Jungkook," Taehyung said, his voice clipped.

Jungkook leaned back in his chair with a smug smile. "As you wish, boss."

Throughout the day, Jungkook kept the playful banter going. Every now and then, he would throw in a harmless compliment or a cheeky comment, just to see if he could get another reaction out of Taehyung. And while Taehyung maintained his cold demeanor for the most part, Jungkook could tell that his teasing was starting to have an effect.
