The hallway back to Taehyung’s office felt too long.

Jungkook walked a step behind him, fingers tangled together in front of him, head down. He still felt the boardroom’s cold glares on his back, still heard Ms. Park’s too-polite accusations, still saw the flash of that photo in his mind.

But mostly—

He felt Taehyung’s presence ahead of him.

Straight-backed. Silent.

Not angry.

Just… unreadable.

The office door closed behind them with a soft click.

Jungkook didn’t sit. He stood awkwardly near the edge of the room, his voice quiet.

“…I’m sorry.”

Taehyung turned.

“For what?”

“For... dragging this into your work. I didn’t think they’d make it public.”

“They didn’t,” Taehyung said. “Someone else did. Someone who knew exactly what angle to use.”

He walked over to his desk and picked up his phone, thumb tapping quickly.

“Effective immediately,” he said without looking up, “you’re being reassigned for the week.”

Jungkook blinked. “Wait—what?”

Taehyung finally met his eyes.

“We’re flying to Paris.”

“…What?”

Taehyung’s tone didn’t waver. “There’s an important client meeting. I was going to send my VP, but now I’m going myself.”

“And me?”

“You’re my assistant,” Taehyung said smoothly, “aren’t you?”

Jungkook’s mouth opened.

Then shut.

“But what about the mess here? The articles, the board—”

“My team will handle it.”

Jungkook stared. “You’re just... leaving?”

“I’m not running,” Taehyung said sharply. “I’m choosing the battlefield.”

Jungkook exhaled slowly, mind racing.

Paris.

Travel.

Him. And Taehyung.

Alone.

In another country.

“…Do I even have a passport?”

“You submitted it when you got hired,” Taehyung said. “It’s already cleared. You’ll be packed by morning.”

“Are we staying in one hotel?”

“Yes.”

“Two rooms?”

A pause.

Taehyung’s lips curved—just slightly.

“Of course,” he said. “Unless you plan to wander into mine again.”
