Jungkook woke up the next morning, staring at the ceiling with wide eyes. The memory of yesterday replayed over and over in his mind, the kiss still lingering on his lips like a secret he couldn't shake. His heart fluttered as he recalled Taehyung's touch, the way the cold CEO had unexpectedly closed the distance between them. But instead of bold confidence, shyness crept into Jungkook's chest, a blush warming his cheeks at the thought of it.

Taehyung... that kiss.

He buried his face in his pillow for a moment, trying to steady his racing heart. "Why did he kiss me like that?" Jungkook whispered to himself, confused yet secretly thrilled. "And why do I feel this way about him?"

Despite the questions swirling in his mind, Jungkook forced himself out of bed, deciding to act normal for now. He got ready, making sure to pick an outfit that was both professional yet cute, something that could catch Taehyung's eye-if the cold CEO even paid attention to such things.

When Jungkook arrived at the office, he hesitated just outside the door. Through the glass walls of Taehyung's office, he could see him sitting behind his desk, deep in thought. Taehyung looked as intimidating as ever, the cold, calculating aura around him stronger than usual. But there was something about his focused expression that drew Jungkook in. He admired the way Taehyung's jaw clenched when he was concentrating, and how his sharp features were softened, just slightly, by the morning light.

But before Jungkook could gather the courage to enter, another employee-a woman-stepped into Taehyung's office. She laughed softly at something, leaning over the desk to show Taehyung a document.

Jungkook's chest tightened, jealousy stirring within him before he could control it. Who is she? And why is she laughing with him like that? His hands clenched slightly as he watched the exchange. Taehyung, of course, remained cold and aloof, barely reacting to the woman's presence, but it didn't matter. The fact that someone else was close to him, casually sharing a moment, irritated Jungkook more than he expected.

Why do I even care? Jungkook thought, shaking his head. I shouldn't...

But he did care, more than he was willing to admit.

Swallowing his jealousy, Jungkook pushed the door open and walked in, trying to maintain his usual cheerful attitude despite the frustration bubbling beneath the surface.

"Good morning, Mr. Kim," he greeted, his voice soft but hiding the slight edge of jealousy.

Taehyung looked up, his cold gaze meeting Jungkook's. "You're late," he said in his usual clipped tone.

Jungkook bit his lip, feeling self-conscious now. "Only by a minute..." he mumbled, glancing down. He took a deep breath, trying to muster up his courage and shake off his jealousy. "I just came to check in on my favorite boss."

Taehyung raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed by the attempt at flattery. "Don't waste my time with small talk, Jungkook. If you have nothing useful to say, leave."

Jungkook's cheeks reddened slightly at the harsh tone, his earlier confidence fading. He glanced at the woman still standing near Taehyung, noticing how she was watching him with a curious smile, almost like she was enjoying the interaction.

Jungkook forced himself to sit down in front of Taehyung's desk, crossing his arms and pouting slightly. "I'm not here to waste your time, Mr. Kim," he said, voice a little sharper than usual. He couldn't shake the jealousy, but he wouldn't let it show too obviously. Not in front of Taehyung and definitely not in front of her.
