You take my mind away

The Unwanted Guest

"I thought I instructed the team to submit the file before monday" Jeongguk groans, slumping on the couch as he hears the head of the marketing team nervously spit out excuses. He has an urge to scoff , the rambling giving him a headache and the loud noise from Taehyung's ongoing drama in the background doesn't help. 

"Mr Lee-"

"Kang, sir"

Jeongguk shuts his eyes in frustration,trying hard to keep his temper under control."Mr Kang"He growls, teeth gritted. "If you want to keep your job I will advise you to keep the files on my desk before I enter my cabin. "

"S-sir if you could just give some more time-" Jeongguk let's the voice drown in background as he plays with the tiny flames glowing in his fingertips. Do these humans know how lucky they are? If it were someone in underworld he would have fed them to cerberus for tardiness without a second thought. 

He tips his head back on the headrest, sighing loudly "I will reach office by 10,Mr Kang" 

"But sir-"

And Jeongguk growls, patience run out "You should be gratefu-" His words end up against a soft pair of lips pressing onto his.

So what does God of the underworld do when an insolent person has the audacity to interrupt him and kiss him without consent? Ideally he should throw the person in the deepest trench of hell. 

Ideally. Because Jeongguk does nothing to push Taehyung away. He just disconnects his phone and sighs against the male's lip who still hasn't moved away. "Taehyung" He mutters, but still doesn't take any effort to push the person in fact secretly relishing the brush of their lips. 

He opens his eyes when the lips disappear and a giggle resonates above him. Taehyung is looking down at him, leaning on the headrest from the back. 

Jeongguk raises an eyebrow " You sure have the audacity to laugh after breaking the rule. I wonder your reaction after I stop you from watching those dramas"

Taehyung stops giggling, eyebrows furrowing and lips pouting " Jeongguk was bothering Taehyung! "

"And how was I bothering you? " Jeongguk says, eyes raking over Taehyung's large eyes, pouty lips and the tiny mole on the nose-

"Cold" Taehyung accuses,palms now cupping Jeongguk's cheeks and indeed they are freezing. Jeongguk didn't realise in his rage that he was causing the temperature to fall in the room. 

But right now he can't think about any of that, staring in the warm brown eyes he finds himself getting lost in another world. 

"I am sorry" He whispers, his owns hands coming up to caress Taehyung's cheek, providing warmth to the cold skin. 

Taehyung inhales sharply, eyes blinking and Jeongguk wakes up from his haze, eyes widening.

There are red flowers budding in the brunette's hair, cheeks equally red. 

"Advertisement over" He says suddenly before dashing away and Jeongguk just remains still, trying to comprehend what just happened. He is sure he felt like his consciousness left for a moment, sucking him into a different dimension. His hand touches his nose, finding a red petal perched on it. 

He squeezes it between his fingers, flames blazing on the tips but like the last time, nothing happens. The petal remains unharmed. 

Who is Taehyung? No one whether mortal or immortal can escape his might, especially not a newbie like him. So why is this mere piece of flower still sitting between his finger taunting him? 

And suddenly there is a new energy running in his veins, something ugly wrenching his heart. Hatred. Anger. No one can taunt him. No one can make him inferior. Not something as trivial as this petal.
