„Good morning." Taehyung enters the office.

„Good morning, Mr.Kim." Jungkook says right after he hangs up the call and Taehyung gets to his desk.
„We're building a new café?" He asks when he sees a floor plan of the building and other documents related to other cafés on his desk.

„Yeah. There's gonna be a lot of work with it."

„I see."

„We're gonna meet the manager of the café, so let's go." Jungkook grabs his suit jacket and goes to the elevator. Taehyung takes a deep breath, grabs all of the documents and follows Jungkook. It was silent in the elevator and even the whole ride to the building, where the café's going to stand. Taehyung tries not to think anything about it since he is the one who drew the line and actually snapped at his boss. He tries to be professional.

„So it's here?"
„Yeah, it's gonna be a smaller one, so let's go." They get out and make their way to an older woman.

„Son!" She smiles.

„Hi mom." Jungkook pecks on his mother's cheeks. „This is my new assistant Kim Taehyung."
„Oh hello young man, you're handsome." She compliments him.

„Oh, noo, thank you. Nice to meet you, Mrs. Jeon." Taehyung greets her politely.

„Mom, are you sure you want another one?" You already run around 12 cafés..."

„I am sure, Jungkook-ah. Don't worry, my dear. This one is going to really help someone."
„Ok, then. Let's get in...? So we can plan everything?" He gives her a smile

"He's the one who's handsome."

Jungkook turns around at Taehyung, „just write down what we agree on and just be quite." he tells him with poker face.
„Yes." Taehyung gulps and follows them inside the building. It's a smaller two-story house with just finished reconstruction so there could be a restaurant or café. It still has bare grey walls and there's still dirt on the floor. The windows are situated to the south-east so the sun will shine the whole day inside.
Taehyung follows Jungkook and his mother the whole morning taking the notes of different things like where is going to stand a bar and tables.

„I'm gonna treat her to a lunch, we'll meet at the office, Mr. Kim." Jungkook says.
„Oh Mr. Kim, give me your business card, we might discuss things related to the café... or my son." She smiles at Taehyung but glares at Jungkook. Taehyung politely agrees and gives her the crd.
„Mother." Jungkook warns her.

„What? An Old woman like me needs to know what her son is doing when he's not going to tell her himself." She sticks out a tongue at him which makes Taehyung smile even more.

„Omo, you're even more handsome when you smile, unlike my son."

„Let's go, Mom. Don't bother him, he has a lot of work to do." Jungkook grabs his mom hand, gently pulls her closer to him and leave. Taehyung sighs and calls for a cab so he could come back to the office.

„Oh Kiyeol -ssi!" Taehyung stops by his desk.

„Taehyung-ssi." He smiles at him

„Have you had a lunch? Wanna grab something?"

„Yeah, sure. Wait a minute."

„It's on me." Taehyung says as he sees Ki yeol taking his wallet.

„Thank you Taehyung-ssi" and with that they set of to the cantina.

„So, how's your work going?" KiYeol asks when they find a table to sit to. „You're working on the café, right?"

„Yeah, Jungkook... I mean, Mr. Jeon didn't tell me that his mother manages them. She's nice, unlike her son." Taehyung frowns. Ki yeol lets out a small giggle.

„He is nice too. You just have to get to know him better."

„I tried, I honestly did, but it went down the hill." Taehyung pouts.

„He's cold towards you, isn't he?"

„How did you know?"

„Well, I'm with him since the day he took over the J Corporation. So I know him pretty well."

„Oh."

„He's tough, but sweet guy."

„Thank you Ki yeol-ssi." They eat their lunch and get back to the office.

Taehyung sits on a chair and stare out of the window. „Maybe I took it too far yesterday...?" He says out loud to himself.

„Mr. Kim, you have your notes, right?" Jungkook enters the office.

„Yeah...?"

„Then start working on it." He says not looking at Taehyung.

„Ah, yes... I'm sorry." Taehyung then takes the phone and makes a call after call and sends emails.

„Hello?" Taehyung picks up an incoming call.

„Mr. Kim."

„Mrs. Jeon? How can I help you?" He notices that Jungkook is paying attention to him.

„I'm sorry I'm bothering you instead of my son."

„It's ok. I'm his assistant after all, Mrs. Jeon," Taehyung chuckles. „Anyway, I was wondering if you'd like to meet to discuss and choose the design for that new café?"
„Of course, my dear!" She agrees excitedly.

„I'll pick you up tomorrow at 10 a.m... Is that ok with you?"

„Very much."

„Oh, I'm sorry for interrupting you earlier. What is the matter of your call?" Taehyung looks the way where Jungkook is sitting behind his desk. He was watching him the whole time and when Taehyung looked at him he looked away like he was doing something he shouldn't do. Taehyung smirks a little bit.

„ No nothing important. I just wanted to know if you'd join me for a tea sometimes."

„Of course, madam. How could I say no?" Taehyung giggles.

„Great. Then see you tomorrow, Mr. Kim."

„See you, Mrs. Jeon" and he hangs up.

„What was that about?"

„Your mother. I'm gonna work with her on the task you gave me." Jungkook just nods.

„You didn't tell me your mother manages all of the cafés your company owns."

„It's not something really important."

„It's not? I work as your assistant, don't you think I should know things like that?"

„But why it's so important that it's my mother? If it was anyone's mother, would you still care?"

„It just is important. Anyway, why don't you even look at me properly? You don't even talk to me like you used to. Even before yesterday."

„Mr. Kim. I respect theline you drew yesterday, but if youdisrespect it and cross it, I'm gonna interfere with your life again. Because,somehow - to me it looks like you actually care about me as a man not only asyour boss." He says with a little anger and storms out of the office.
