Chapter 27 - Another Kim?

Like the saying goes Joy comes in the morning. With morning comes a new day where the past mistakes died along with the previous day, but the the joys of the previous day, lives on.

Jungkook woke up to the sounds of birds chipping. The sun was not yet out. The smell of flowers and dew flooded his noise as he opened his windows. The silent wind blowing made the atmosphere very cooling.

As he stood there by his balcony overlooking the beautiful scenery of lively flowers and green orchards, his mind wondered of to Tae. He couldn't wait till the day he welcomes him to the family as his husband. He coulndn't wait till the day that he see him tending to those beautiful flowers outside, he remembered how Tae's face lit up when he first came here. There was something special on his face, and he wanted to see that face all the time.

He wanted to wake up with Tae in his arms, giving him lovely kisses, playing with his hair as they relaxed in a bath tub with red candles and a bottle of sparkling champagne. He wanted to see Tae dropping their children off at school, cooking for him, giving him a relaxing massage after work to calm him down.

He was willing to give Tae the world. Take him to see places, show him the lavish way of living. He wanted to show his all that he could do for him.

Tae deserved it all, as much as he was saying that his past was all his fault for refusing to let go of it. To be honest, it could have happened to anyone, when such things happens to a person is always hard to overcome it and at times it becomes nearly impossible. Tae was strong for choosing to break out of that shell of fear.

He joins the millions of people who have faced such circumstances or even worse and yet they choose to fight against it and to stay alive not only for their loved ones but also for themselves. We need to salute such people. They went through hell, and yet they survived. They are real heroes.

Jungkook got ready for the day ahead of him. Dressed in formal yet lavish attire. He was dressed in a Kiton K50 exclusive suit, with matching Testino men's dress shoes. Took out a gold watch from his limited collection of Rolex watches imported from Dubai. To say the least, this was just a bit of his lavish lifestyle. He always dressed to impress, but what he realized was that Tae wasn't happy with the way he shows his wealth, he knew that Tae liked things simple. Tae enjoyed doing small things in a great way, but not once did he share this thought with Jungkook. At times you don't have to use words to tell someone what's you think of them or the things that they do.

He drove to Tae's house. Waiting for his sweetheart to come out, he saw Hoseok as well who was about to leave. They exchanged greetings with each other.

Jungkook noticed something different about the way Hoseok greeted him, it wasn't the ususal handshake of respect, but rather a hug, the type you would give to your brother or a fellow loved one. That was strange, even Tae felt weird about waht he just saw, maybe Hoseok had finally accepted Jungkook with all his heart. Hoseok even went on to give Jungkook a bright Hobi smile, although he made the scene a bit awkward, but Jungkook still loved it. He was glad that he finally had a place in his heart.

When they got to work, they felt the eyes of their colleagues looking at them. The two employees who were MIA for 3 whole days. Their eyes were practically staring through to their souls. Tae felt very uncomfortable about it and just looked down. Jungkook didn't like the attention that they were given. He then stared back at them with death glares in his eyes, forcing the overlookers to eaither turn back or hide their face in shame.

Jimin watched the action from a distance, what he found interesting, was how Jungkook was practically protecting Tae as though he was his bodyguard. He watched how Jungkook would try to take Tae's hands into his or place his arms around him.

To escape any further discomfort, the two sought refuge in Namjoon's office. They were glad to see that he was back.

Namjoon who was busy on his laptop, was shocked when he saw the two of them walk into his office.

"What's wrong why do you two look like a ghost is chasing?" asked Namjoon with a concerned face.

"I think the office knows...I think they know that me and Tae are dating. They were practically giving us death looks, I needed to protect Tae, he was starting to feel uncomfortable." replied Jungkook.

Namjoon looked at the two of them. He knew this situation was coming. The moment the office finds out that two of its employees are in a relationship, espercially when they are of different employement ranks, it was bound to cause commotion. Although the company hasn't official heard from either of them that they are in any form of relationship, they still needed to keep a look out.

"Don't worry about it, I know exactly how to handle such matters. I will forward an email to the staff regarding this matter, but for now, I know that the two of you are madly in love but, I need you to tune it down, for just a while, so that no one suspects, is that okay?"

The two lovers looked at each other. Namjoon was literally asking them to stop showing their love for each other, to act as though they were just working collaegues. As sour as it tastes, that was the only way.

"You want to hide my love for Tae? No way hyung, there is not rule against dating in the workplace". said Jungkook.

"I know that Jungkook, but think about it. Tae is on a internship, if people had to know that you two were in a relationship, they would think that Tae got the job indefinitely. I know you understand what that means, not only will it set a bad image for yourself, but also for Tae. I know that you wouldn't want his career to go down in smokes". replied Namjoon.

After thinking about it. Jungkook realized that he was right. The one who would be punished was not him, but Tae.

"It's okay hyung, we can do that.....By the way, why did you travel to Geochang all of the sudden?" asked Jungkook.

"Well I went to pick up my love. I told you that I found someone that I love, well we have been talking for the past 3 months and he travelled to Geochang with a group of friends, so went to pick him up. Today we kick start our relationship. He is so handsome, I love him". replied Namjoon with so much love in his eyes.

Tae knew that look, Jungkook always gave him that look whenever he was with him. He knew exactly how Namjoon felt, the feeling of finding your love, your treasure. It was the most pleasing feeling ever.

"Wow hyung, now you can undersatnd how I feel about Tae." said Jungkook as he took hold of Tae's hand, kissing it. This caused Tae to just blush away.

"Yes Jungkook I understand. The funny thing about this, is that he is also a Kim. So I guess you and I have a thing for Kim's. He is 27 years old."

"Wow hyung, he's older than you, that must be cute. So tell me who's the top and who's the bottom?"

Tae hit Kookie's hand playfully while giving him the don't ask that question look.

"Don't worry about it Tae, I know Jungkook by now. He needs all the details. I am the top. Do you really think that anyone can top me? Anyway in case you were thinking his name is Kim Seokjin."

The moment Tae heard that name, he felt weird, like he had heard that name before. Jungkook noticed the sudden change in Tae's character.

"Baby are you okay? Tell me what's wrong?" he asked him as he sat him down on the guest chairs next to him.

"Nothing Kookie, I'm fine....Namjoon hyung said that his boyfriends name is Kim Seokjin. I don't know where, but I've heard that name before. I can't eaxtly remember where, but I'm sure I've heard it before."

"Yeah Tae, maybe you have, he's actually a model, so maybe you heard of him through an ad or you saw it in a margazine." said Namjoon.

"Yeah, maybe you are right, I guess it was my own fictions. Sorry about that".

"Don't worry about it Tae, its okay".

Did he really only hear that name from an ad. Tae was displeased, but he didn't know why. Kim Seokjin I don't know why, but I feel eager to meet you.
