Chapter 12 - First Day

JUNGKOOK'S POV:

Jimin, Taehyung's friend came up looking for him and we caught in act.

"Ahem, ahem. Did I miss out on anything?" He asked with an evil grin on his face.

"Yes, you did. And I am happy you did!!" I replied to him and looked at Taehyung who was now looking at me.

"It's alright. I don't mind. But, come on man, let's hug." He said and hugged me.

"I am happy you guys are together but, it's not gonna be easy. Hope you know that. But don't you worry. You got me." He replied with a wink and hugged Taehyung too.

"Is all okay down there?" Taehyung finally spoke.

"Yes. All okay. Just that I couldn't find you down and Namjoon hyung was worried about you. You know the matter yesterday.. So he asked me to find you. He knew you were up here, but he didn't know whom you were with." Jimin replied with a shrug.

"Wait, I want to tell you something, chimmy." Taehyung held Jimin by his hand and pulled him close.

"Woah woah, careful. My delicate hands." Jimin yelled acting coyly.

"I like him... I mean I love him. How is he? You think good enough for me? Tell me. I have only got you as my best friend." Taehyung asked Jimin who looked at him surprised as if he wasn't expecting it, just like me.

"And if I ask you to leave him?" Jimin asked.

On hearing his question, I became quite nervous. My fingers turned into fists and I was trying my best not to punch him. But then, it was all on Taehyung's response.

"Well, I know you won't." He replied and Jimin smiled looking down at his own feet shaking his head.

"What???" I asked and looked in between these two friends.

"That's trust. He knows me. I'm happy if he is..." Jimin said pointing to Taehyung.

"You are best friends right?" I asked Jimin and Taehyung.

"No. We are brothers." They both replied together and we all smiled.

"Great. Let's go down. People will say it's your day and you disappeared." I told Taehyung and he agreed.

"Umm. Let's go." Jimin said.

"Tae, wait up. Jimin you go ahead. We'll be right back." I told them and Jimin left.

"Hey, listen to me. I trust you but, please don't let anyone know that I'm JK. Is that alright? Not even Jimin." I requested Tae and he agreed to my surprise.

"No worries. I know it. Promise." He assured me and then we went down.

Everybody was leaving so I left Taehyung to go and wish goodbye to all. I went back to my parents. On reaching them, they started giving me looks which were very hard to decipher.

"Alright guys, spill." I said annoyed at their behaviour.

"So? What happened up there? All clear? No more misunderstandings right? And did you tell him about you?" They asked me in one breath.

"Breathe, my dears, breathe. I love you more than you know. So, nothing happened. I told him about me. He has promised not to let anyone know about it. And yes, all misunderstandings clear. Also, he likes me!!" I told them everything and they just cooed like teenagers.

That's it. This guy would be the death of me and I would willingly die for him..

TAEHYUNG'S POV:

Today was my first day as the Boss of the entire KIMS EMPIRE.. As advised by Joon uncle, I decided to pay surprise visits to all the companies and the working sheds where all the actual work took place. 

"Boss, here's the file with all the things you asked for our first visit. Today's visit is to KK Missiles, one of our top 3 leading companies." My secretary Yeonjun said to me and I took the file from his hand and started going through the files.

There were lots of people with their information on the adjoining page. Wait, do I have to remember all of them? Wow, this is getting interesting.

"Boss, I have been a secretary to Ms. Yoona for last 5 years. I just trained with the other secretary for a year and then after he passed away, I took over. So it's actually 6 years. And because I am young, these oldies try to deceive me every time I go to the company for quarterly reports on behalf of Madam. But what they don't know is they are watched every second and every minute detail is being observed. I studied computers and did many specialized courses. I am good at hacking too. I have been doing it for Madam ever since now." Yeonjun said with a slight smile at the end, but I was too stunned to speak.

"Yeonjun right?" I asked him and went around the table.

"Yes," he said his voice cracking at the end.

Jimin got up too seeing me make my way to this boy in front of me. He stepped in between us and placed a hand on my chest.

"What are you doing? Get out of my way." I told Jimin pushing him slightly aside.

"You brat, I wanted to hug you. And you are scared? I am the same Taehyung still. Being a boss doesn't make me a demon or something." I told Yeonjun who scratched the back of his head while giving a smile.

"You, call me hyung from now on. You don't have to call me Boss. Okay? And, I am proud of you and grateful for all that you do for the KIMS. Talents like you are to be put to good use." I said and patted his back.

"Yes, hyung." He said shakily.

"Don't be afraid. And now that you know everybody, can you tell me whom I need to watch out for? And who is who? And everything that I need to know before going there." I told him and he happily nodded while doing something on his iPad.

"Here.. this is the list of the people who are really very... Say, these few people are enough to make our companies go bankrupt or the cause of our down fall one day. As far as I have known them, they have connections with many outsiders and many a times, I have seen them smuggling our weapons outside. Why don't we just go there?" Yeonjun asked after explaining and then we left for our company. 

Half hour later, we reached the company. Yeonjun got down and ran over to my side to open the door. I was shocked at his gesture. 

"Did you do this for my aunt too?" I asked him and he nodded.

"Well, you have to, because she's a lady. But with me, I can open the door myself. I am your hyung, no matter work or home. So don't do it anymore, and it's an order. Get it?" I asked him and he nodded.

"Good. Let's go." I said and we walked in. 

My bodyguards rushed ahead of me and cleared the way. I heard someone asking them to behave and being very bossy.

"Did you forget already who the boss is?" I asked walking in and people were stunned at my entrance.

"Who the hell are you? And who do you think gave you the right to get your guards around here like this?" Asked the man in suit.

"And who are you?" I asked him.

"Whoever I may be, I am not answerable to you. So take your guard dogs and leave here." The man said.

I tried to remember his face and realised that he was one of those who smuggled our weapons outside. But what surprised me was, how could not realise who I was. Well, it was time to teach these people some lessons now.

"Yeonjun, fire him. He should be out before I finish my coffee." I told him and he nodded.

"Yes, Mr. Kim." He said saying my last name little loudly and gasps were heard from people around.

"Mr. Kim? As in Kim Taehyung? The new Boss?" The man asked Yeonjun.

"Yes. KIM TAEHYUNG himself. How stupid that you didn't recognise him! Now please pack your things and yes, before you leave make sure to leave all the things given by the company here, including the car keys. You can keep the house, because my Boss is very benevolent, but don't try your luck, because he is not Mr. Kim. You will be dead, before you even realise." Yeonjun said and then we went to the office.

I signed the dismissal letter in the office and then saw that man leaving, through the CCTV cam in my  office.

"Good job on first day, hyung." Yeonjun said and I looked at him.

"Do you like the Maserati? The one in which we drove here today?" I asked him and saw his face lit up.

"It's yours. Take it." I said and gave him the keys.

"Don't be shocked. Keep up your good work and you will receive many more good things." I told him.

"Thanks hyung. Thank you so much." He said and then left.

Just then my phone binged. I unlocked to see who it was and my happiness knew no bounds to see the sender's name.. Jungkook.

"I really missed you." I said sighing just to see the text which read that he missed me too.

"Are you a mind reader?" I muttered.

"Maybe.." Came the reply and it took me seconds to realise that the voice came from behind me. 

I turned around at the speed of light and saw him standing at the door, leaning on the door frame. His smile was all I needed to calm my anger today. I was so pissed at that man's behaviour today. He stood straight and smiled me. I unknowingly walked towards him as he took steps towards me. I sped towards him and hugged him. He hugged me back, while caressing the back of my head.

"Are you alright, Baby?" Jungkook asked me.

"I am now!!!" I said and hugged him back.
