"Dahyun-ah, wake up." Taehyung removed the fluffy blanket from his sister's face; it had consumed her body heat and sweet scent, but she snatched it immediately and pulled it over her face.

"It's morning again?" She groaned annoyingly under the blanket.

"Yeah, it's morning again." Taehyung left the blanket in defeat, instead he opened the window to welcome some oxygen and sunshine. "Dahyun-ah, look it's a beautiful day. And laziness is evil, so get up already."

Her one hand came out of the blanket like a ghost, groped her phone from the side table, then she uncovered her sleep drenched head to click a selfie. She didn't forget to put a 'V' sign over her eye.

Taehyung sighed. This girl was a selfie addict! "Don't spend too much time with your phone, help mom in cooking. She has so many other works."

Yawning the last trace of her sleep away, she finally got up. "Yeah, yeah, I get it." Taehyung was about to go out, she called him back, "Oppa, we missed you yesterday."

Smiling, he turned, "Really?" Then sat at the edge of the bed. After joining the office, he became so busy that he didn't have a heart to heart talk with her. "Then why didn't you all call me once?"

"It was mom's idea to not disturb you in the meeting." She went to her mirror to brush her untidy hair.

"Oh I forgot, I had a meeting." He smiled shyly, thinking about the fake story he created in front of his family. He recalled his private meeting with Jungkook last night, it was like one of his sweet dreams. His face suddenly flushed crimson remembering the naughty details and he tried not to look at his sister.

"What? How can you forget about your meeting yesterday?" She put her hairbrush down and turned around, "Oppa, I think that demon is giving you overwork. You should take some rest first." She was concerned.

Taehyung stood up, he didn't want to start this beautiful day with another lie. "Dahyun-ah, I have to go to the office. Sunoo is studying now, tell him that I'll bring his favorite cheese sandwich tonight." He added, "And your tteokbokki too.

"Really? Oppa, you're the best." She came dancing on her toes, hugged him tightly.

He slowly patted the back of her head, smiling, "I know my angel."

Taekook in this chapter ☝

Taehyung puffed out some air looking at the huge gate of his boss's castle-like house. There were few traces of yesterday's snowfall scattered all across the lawn. He hugged his grey waistcoat tightly around himself, he needed more warm clothes in this winter, but didn't want to pressurise his mother either. He was willing to wait for the first January, when he would get his first salary. Only few more days, he could do it.

"Hello." The middle aged maid bowed to him, Taehyung bowed back. "Sir is waiting for you upstairs." She showed her the direction, which Taehyung already knew.

The first floor was like a quest, a narrow snake-like corridor and several closed doors. One door, he recognized, he came earlier; Jungkook's closet. Just beside it, was Jungkook's bedroom.

He knocked on the door, "It's me, Taehyung." Then opened it a second later. "See I'm two minutes early todaaa-" His introduction cut halfway. Before he could realize anything, he got slammed on the closed door and he found his boss against him. Pressing his body lightly over him, Jungkook attached their lips aggressively.

Taehyung's body reacted before his brain caught up. He ran his fingers over his boss's semi wet locks and deepened the kiss. Their mouths were moving in a rhythm, tongues were fighting for dominance, eyes closed in a meditative concentration. It was intense.

Taehyung didn't know when he became so desperate for some oxygen and pulled his face back. He couldn’t move, but he could speak, "Jungkook we've office."

"Office can wait, but I can't." Jungkook chased after him and licked his bottom lip, then slowly traced his tongue over his neck and sucked hard.

A small 'Aah-' left from Taehyung's slightly parted lips, "Are you a vampire?"

Jungkook grinned over him, obviously enjoying the discomfort. "Worse than a vampire."

"Devil."

Jungkook smirked, "Yes! And you're in hell." He softly nuzzled on the crook of his neck.

"Jungkook, stop." Taehyung giggled, "You're tickling me."

"Should I do something else?" He breathily whispered. Taehyung covered his face to hide his prominent blush and looked away.

The walls of Jungkook's room were painted beige, short of cream in colour. Everything sat in their right places, the furniture elegant, not too bright, the contrast between the curtains and the bedsheets was just Taehyung's dreamlike. "Wow! This can't be hell."

"As long as I'm here, it is." The devil mischievously smiled and got back to his neck again. Slowly undoing his buttons, he exposed his chest.

"We'll be late." His secretary seemed really concerned. Well not internally.

"Tell me about today's schedule." He spoke giving open mouthed kisses all over his neck and chest.

"T-today you have four important appointments and one general visit to the factory. Ah- Jungkook!… Today is Monday, only one week left for Christmas, so we have a very limited time to organize gifts and gift vouchers. And-" Taehyung couldn't speak more as the devil started sucking one of his nipples.

"Continue." Jungkook ordered. His dark hair was ruffled, he wore a black shirt, neatly tucked into his tailored suit pants.

"Oh fuck!" His secretary chimed, then corrected his words immediately, "Sorry."

Jungkook left his body and concentrated on his expression. The corner of his lips twitched upward, looking at his secretary's shy blushing face. "You're so cute."

Taehyung pouted, "And you're taking advantage of my cuteness."

"Absolutely!" He grinned.

It became Taehyung's favorite thing to see him smile. He looked more babyish when his bunny teeth were on display. Who could say, this man claimed himself as a devil? He was totally a cuddly baby inside.

"Shall we go now?" He raised his wrist to show him the time, it was 9.44. Jungkook made an 'O' shaped mouth and went to his bed to grab his purple suit.

'Damn it. I shouldn't have shown him the time.'—Taehyung bit his mouth as he came out of the room after his boss.

As soon as they reached the office, Jungkook's 'Matrix' mode was activated. His eyes didn't show any emotions except managerial professionalism.

"Taehyung, Mr Zang Chi of Taiwan will be coming around twelve. Receive him from the gate and take him to the conference room respectfully. He's a very important dealer of our cars there, remember that." Said Jungkook when he took his chair, Taehyung agreed.

A light knock grabbed their attention towards the door, "Sir it's me Sejin." Sejin came in with a huge grin on his face. "I came back from Hawaii just a couple of hours ago."

Taehyung smiled silently, that guy was simpering like he had just come out of a 'Jumanji' book.

"Welcome back Sejin. Now that you've come back, Taehyung's works will be divided." Jungkook told him to take a seat and explained both of his secretaries working schedules. At the end he said, "Taehyung is still learning many things, help him whenever he needs you."

"Of course sir. But where should I sit? I mean are we sharing our office room?" Sejin said, looking at the other secretary. Taehyung looked at Jungkook for the answer.

"Since we have a very busy day today, you can sit at the corner of my room. Over the sofa." He showed him a table and a small sofa, which he used occasionally and turned his eyes to Taehyung, "Taehyung, you use the room for today, I'll manage some other room for you tomorrow."

"Ok sir. What shall I do now?" Taehyung asked.

"Go and tell Namjoon to submit the gift voucher's list." Jungkook's eyes traced Taehyung as he left the room, then to his first secretary Sejin. "Sejin, I want you to go and check our factory works first. I'll be busy today so don't know if I can make time for my weekly visit there."

"No problem sir."

"Another thing." Leaning back on his ergonomic chair, Jungkook rubbed his lower lip with the tip of his finger.

"Yes sir, please tell me." Sejin sat forward, in a restrained seriousness, he knew something was bothering his boss.

Jungkook thought for a moment and pulled out a thick brown envelope from his drawer and put it in front of his secretary. "I'm giving you three hundred thousand won in cash. Take it to the UFC bank after visiting the factory and clear all the loan payments under Mr Kim Minsoo."

"Kim Minso as in your father's driver and Mr Kim's father?" Sejin knew him well since he had to go with the former CEO to many important places before. "But you're the one who asked me to talk with every small company so that he couldn't get a job."

"I know, but I didn't know that family is going through a major economic crisis. Don't ask anything more and do it without him knowing." Sejin nodded and left him alone.

Jungkook released a deep sigh, resting his head on the headboard, he closed his eyes. He hoped Taehyung wouldn't worry more about his family problems and concentrate more on his work. Worry on Taehyung's face didn't match his cuteness, he looked better when he wasn't thinking about anything. A shy smile appeared on his lips, thinking about his beautiful rectangular smile. Jungkook couldn't wait for the night when they would be alone for sometime.

It didn't take another minute when Namjoon knocked on his door. Taehyung came behind him. "Namjoon, where's the list."

"Here it is. Take a look." Namjoon placed a wide file over the other papers on the table, "It's the total six hundred employee's gift money list. Two point six million wons." He drew his boss's attention to the total amount, which he circled with a red ink.

"Oh, that's a huge amount." Taehyung said from his side.

Jungkook answered instead of his assistant. "Yes, since this year's gift budget increased to seventy percent. Namjoon hyung, did you search a good departmental store?"

"Yeah." Namjoon agreed with a nod. "Danial recommended a good store near our office. Shoppers Paradise. Most of our workers are from this area so it will be beneficial for them. And the manager there is willing to give our workers special Christmas gifts. So in my opinion, that shop will be the best. Do you want me to withdraw the sum and send it to that store?" Spoke Namjoon with his business-like seriousness. If Taehyung didn't see his soft side in the restaurant, he would definitely suspect him as a robot.

"It would be good but Mr Zang Chi is coming today. And then some new dealers. You're needed here hyung." Jungkook checked his wrist watch, only fifteen minutes left from twelve. He turned his attention to Taehyung, "Taehyung, if you don't have any important work, then do this. Just take this check to the bank, withdraw the money and give it to the manager of Shoppers Paradise. Ok?" He pulled out his checkbook, and tore a check for him, wrote down the amount with his signature and handed it to his secretary.

Taehyung took it with a slight hesitation, "But you told me to escort your very important Taiwanese guest." He reminded him.

"Yeah, he could come anytime. Just take him to the meeting room, then go to the bank. Take a company's car and hand over the money carefully to their manager. Tell them to make the vouchers before twenty second December and most importantly, don't forget to take the money receipt."

"Yes sir. I'm going right away." Taehyung smiled but Jungkook didn't smile back, so many things were going on inside his head. He just said,

"Be careful on your way." A casual reminder that he cared for him.

Taehyung received the Taiwanese guest with his best hospitality. Respectfully took him to the meeting room and informed Jungkook. He took the elevator again to go down, happy with his work, happy with his life. Smiled on his own, thinking about his encounter with the little devil in the morning.

His smile fed away when the man he disliked the most in this office, joined him in the elevator. He turned away.

"It's you again?" Daniel put his hands on his hip pockets and checked him thoroughly, a mocking smirk was plastered on his face. "Too bad that you have to leave the office soon."

Taehyung could feel all the bad vives drifting from the man besides him. "What do you mean?"

Daniel faked his sadness, "I mean, Sejin is back now, so your time has come to say bye bye." Then suddenly he got all serious, tilted his head, still smirking, "Anyway, your slut sister is doing a great job. Tell her to upload more nude pictures."

Taehyung snapped his head, "What the hell are you trying to say?"

Daniel rolled his tongue like he was gossiping about the biggest secret, "Didn't you hear me? Should I repeat? Your sister was sending her nude pictures to her boyfriend, and that guy sold them to me."

He stared down at him, unable to believe his ears and eyes. "You, you're telling lies."

"You don't believe me?" Daniel stopped the elevator from going down and pushed the up button. "Come with me."

Taehyung thought he might faint if this guy was right, "Daniel-ssi, you're wasting my time." He didn't want to go after him, he had to go to the bank, but that dude was talking nonsense about his family, his sweet sister. How could he let it go?

Daniel walked to his office-room with confident steps, "Just wait a bit and see with your eyes." He opened the door and then opened his laptop and turned the screen to the other man. "Can you recognize her? She's sexy right?" He winked, vulgarity was manifesting from his eyes.

"Noo!" Taehyung's eyes blurred with hues, he was seeing the things which a brother shouldn't mean to see. There were more than fifty nude pictures of his sister, appearing like a presentation. "This can't be true. Dahyun can't do this." He still couldn't believe in his eyes. Eyes can betray. "Delete these please."

"Do you want me to delete all these?" Daniel laughed like a vamp in the black and white movies, "Why?"

"Because what you're doing is wrong." His voice became wet.

"Really?" Daniel twirled his chair and sat on it. Swinging side by side he said, "Ok. I'll delete it. As you're insisting me to. But you have to do something for me."

"What do you want?" Taehyung was damn desperate to do anything.

"Bring me a coffee and sandwich at first. Then I'll talk."

That's it?

"What?" It was unexpected.

Daniel frowned, "What-what? Don't you wanna save your unmarried sister from embarrassment?"

"Al right." Taehyung put down the file he was holding for sometime and hurried to go to the canteen. He wasn't thinking straight, he ordered a black coffee with chicken sandwich and came running to the place he left before. "Here, take it and tell me what you want."

"Wow. I must say, your running speed is impressive." Daniel was still sitting on his chair, scrolling the photographs with lazy hands.

"Delete those pics now. Please." Taehyung could only beg.

"Sure pretty boy but you have to polish my shoes now. But be careful, these are branded."

Could he just kill him?

It was clear that this guy wanted to blackmail Taehyung and make him suffer in every possible way. He bent but suddenly remembered something, some of these pictures were so odd. He has seen her these expressions before. Taehyung threw a challenging glare, "You're misleading me. These pictures are edited."

"So you realized it now. Dumbo." Daniel chuckled bitterly. "Of course these are edited. Your sister likes to fly like a social butterfly. Her Instagram is full of selfies. It's not hard to edit them as per my own mood." He shrugged like it wasn't a big deal.

Taehyung narrowed his eyes on him, "You're a psycho. Jungkook should know about this."

"Jungkook should know about what?" Daniel mimicked him, "You think jungkook doesn't know it? Dude, I'm not that rich to do these things without any backups. It's his plan to throw you out from the company like this."

Taehyung growled, this boy had reached his limit, "You're telling lies again."

Daniel denied with a confident glare, "Oh really? Then why don't you go and ask him?" Ha put up his shoes on the table and crossed it. Taehyung moved to the door but halted when he spat again, "Wait, before you go, I have a free suggestion for you. resign now, so that you won't get yourself into further humiliation."

Taehyung's hands balled into fists, as his erratic breathing took place. He hadn't punched for some days, his hands were twitching to punch that guy, but first thing first. He went to the upper floor instead of going down and raged to the meeting room like a thunder.

"Jungkook, I need to talk with you."

Jungkook had just started his conversation with Mr Zang Chi when Taehyung entered without asking for permission. His eyes locked with his secretary for a second, then traveled towards Namjoon and Mr Chi, then back at his secretary. "What happened, secretary Kim? Can't you see I'm having an important conversation here?"

Taehyung got startled at first, he forgot to knock, but what was done, couldn't be taken back, so he continued, "It won't take long, just five minutes."

Jungkook's eyes got darker this time. He wasn't a person who would tolerate unprofessionalism. "Have you done the work I gave you."

"No, I was on my way to the bank but-"

"But? Are you taking this lightly? Just do your task first then I'll talk with you." Jungkook turned his whole attention towards his guest.

"Alright." Taehyung sighed and got himself out from there. It was true that he got scolded by his crush but this time he couldn't blame him. It was his fault to shove his sharp nose in between an important conversation.

Taehyung couldn't stay calm for a moment. What Daniel did to him was totally not right. He was fully aware of these office politics but this dude was crossing his boundary. How could he tell him to resign like that? He was doing his job well, Jungkook was happy with him, then why would he resign? If anyone should resign, then it would be him. Daniel. For blackmailing an employee.

He jumped a red light on his way, not deliberately, he had forgotten to look at the signal. His mood was still off when he gave the check to the bank manager. Jungkook called him before so the manager took him inside as soon as he asked for him. He didn't bother to count the money. Jungkook said the manager was his friend so he trusted them.

He then went to the five storey departmental store 'Shoppers Paradise' and gave the list along with the money to their manager. Taehyung collected the receipt and headed to his office, but couldn't help thinking about his family. His sister.

"Congratulations Jungkook for getting a new deal."
