Jungkook arrived at the office earlier than usual, the crisp morning air still clinging to his skin. His mind buzzed with today's agenda-a familiar rhythm that kept his thoughts firmly on work. The upcoming meeting with an important Canadian client was on his radar, and he wanted everything to be flawless. But his meticulous routine had become more than just preparation. It had become a shield, a way to maintain the strict professional boundary he had drawn between himself and Taehyung.

As Jungkook set up his desk, the silence in the office was comforting. For once, it felt like he could breathe without Taehyung's imposing presence looming over him. Yet, no matter how much distance he tried to create, Jungkook couldn't deny the flutter of unease whenever the CEO was near.

It wasn't long before the telltale sound of Taehyung's polished shoes echoed down the hall. Jungkook could sense him even before the door opened, as if the very air changed when Taehyung was close-thicker, heavier, carrying an unspoken tension that always left Jungkook on edge.

"Jungkook," Taehyung's deep voice cut through the quiet, pulling him from his thoughts.

Jungkook glanced up, bracing himself for the usual detached coldness, but today, something was different. The sharpness in Taehyung's eyes was still there, but it lacked the icy edge it usually carried. Jungkook quickly composed himself, his tone deliberately neutral.

"Good morning, Mr. Kim," he replied, keeping his voice flat and professional, refusing to let any trace of personal warmth slip through.

Taehyung's eyes flickered at the formality, and his lips pressed into a thin line as he stepped closer. He looked like he had something on his mind, but was too controlled to let it show.

"You have a meeting in Canada next week, correct?" Taehyung's voice was smooth and precise, as always.

"Yes," Jungkook nodded, already prepared. "I was just going over the final details."

Taehyung studied him for a moment, his eyes unreadable, assessing. Jungkook resisted the urge to fidget under the weight of his gaze.

"I'll be accompanying you to that meeting," Taehyung stated, his voice low but firm.
