EPISODE(7)

TAEHYUNG(POV):

Last night was an unforgettable ride! I stayed up late at a party, still riding the high from Lee Woo-shik’s exciting proposal. Now, I’m on a quest to crack the code for getting into JJK Enterprises. It’s a tough nut to crack, but I’m keeping my hopes alive.

Waking up late on a weekend? No worries! The bakery is opening later today, which is a sweet relief. I rolled out of bed like a tired penguin, but I powered through my morning routine. Now, I’m all set and ready to embrace whatever the day has in store!

I opened my laptop, filled with hope for some good news. As I navigated to the JJK Enterprises website, my eyes nearly popped out of my head with excitement! I couldn’t believe it—I had received a job application notification! I started jumping on my bed, overflowing with joy.

I quickly clicked on the notification and filled out the application form along with the required documents. The position? Personal Secretary to Jeon Jungkook! It felt like the cherry on top of an already amazing day.

With my heart racing, I snatched up my laptop and rushed down the stairs, practically flying with excitement. I couldn't wait to share the incredible news with Hyung! "Hyung! You won’t believe what just happened!" I shouted, bursting into the living room like a whirlwind.

I could hardly contain my enthusiasm as I explained how I had applied to JJK Enterprises for the position of Personal Secretary to Jeon Jungkook!. Hyung’s eyes widened in surprise, and I could see the excitement reflecting back at me. This was not just a job application; it felt like the start of an extraordinary adventure!.

Namjoon, who had been engrossed in his newspaper, nearly dropped it in shock when he heard the news about Taehyung applying to JJK Enterprises. His eyes widened, and it took him a moment to regain his composure.

“Taehyung, are you serious right now?” he exclaimed, his voice a mix of disbelief and excitement. “I mean, I’m hearing this correctly, right?” The newspaper slipped from his hands as he leaned forward, eager to catch every detail of this unexpected turn of events.

“Of course, Hyung! Why would I joke about something like this?” Taehyung replied, a grin spreading across his face. He quickly turned his laptop around, showcasing the application page with pride. “Look, I really did apply for the job! Can you believe it?” His eyes sparkled with excitement as he leaned closer, eager for Namjoon to share in his enthusiasm. “This could be my chance to work with Jeon Jungkook! How amazing would that be?”

“What the hell?!” Namjoon exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with excitement. The happiness radiating from him was palpable as he jumped up and pulled Taehyung into a tight hug.

“You did it, Tae! This makes it so much easier for us to proceed with our plan!” he said, practically bouncing with joy. “Oh lord, I was racking my brain trying to figure out how we could get information on Jeon Jungkook! When’s the interview?” His enthusiasm was infectious, and it felt like the beginning of an exhilarating adventure.

“I’m not sure about the interview yet,” Taehyung replied, a hint of uncertainty creeping into his voice. “I just provided my number, so hopefully they’ll reach out soon with the details.” He shrugged, trying to hide his nervousness, but the excitement still shone through. “I guess we just have to wait and see! But I can’t help but feel like this is the start of something big!”

“What’s going on? Why are you two shouting?” Jin asked as he stepped out of the kitchen, a puzzled look on his face. He wiped his hands on a towel, glancing between Namjoon and Taehyung, who were practically buzzing with energy. “Did something exciting happen?” His eyes sparkled with curiosity, eager to join in on the fun.

Namjoon rushed toward Jin, practically bouncing on his feet as he grabbed his arms, his eyes wide with excitement. “Jinnie baby, you won’t believe this!” he exclaimed, his voice brimming with energy. “Tae just applied for a position at JJk Enterprises! Remember how I told you last night that getting info on Jeon Jungkook is like finding a needle in a haystack? Well, this morning, Tae went for it and applied to be Jungkook’s personal secretary!” His enthusiasm was infectious, and it felt like the air around them crackled with anticipation. “Can you imagine, baby? This could be huge!”

“WHAT!!! ARE YOU SERIOUS?” Jin shouted, his eyes widening in disbelief. “Are you both out of your minds?” He took a step back, running a hand through his hair in exasperation. “I clearly told you last night, Namjoon, that Jungkook is dangerous! He’s a freaking mafia boss! And here you are, bouncing around like excited kids at a carnival over a job application!” His voice rose with urgency. “One mistake, and you both could be dead! This isn’t a game, you know!”

“We know, Jin,” Tae said, his tone calm yet firm as he held Jin’s right hand reassuringly. “But it’s crucial for us to gather information on him. Without intel, we can’t hack into his system. And don’t worry, this is our job! In the world of hacking, everything comes with risks, right?” He met Jin's gaze with determination, hoping to ease his worries. “We just have to be smart about it, hyung.”

“I know, Taehyung, but I can’t take the risk with both of you,” Jin said, his voice trembling as he fought back tears. “You’re like my little brother, and Joonie… he’s my everything. You both mean the world to me, and I just can’t bear the thought of losing you. We’re family, and I won’t put you in danger.” He looked at them, vulnerability etched on his face, his love and concern palpable.

“I know, Hyung, but you trust us, right?” Taehyung said, his eyes shining with confidence. “We’ve hacked into millions of mafia systems, and we even took on Korea’s most powerful agency. This is nothing! Just believe in us.”

“Exactly,” Namjoon chimed in, his voice steady and reassuring. “Don’t worry, love. He’s nothing compared to what we’ve faced before. We’ve got this, I promise.” He reached out, placing a hand on Jin’s shoulder, hoping to instill a sense of calm and confidence in him.

“But—”

Before Jin could finish his sentence, Namjoon leaned in and pressed his lips against Jin’s, silencing his worries with a tender kiss. It was a moment that wrapped them both in warmth, a promise of reassurance. As Namjoon kissed him with deep passion, Jin felt his tension melt away, replaced by a sense of safety and love.

Namjoon gently bit Jin's lower lip, coaxing him to open up, and as their tongues intertwined, the sweetness of their connection ignited a fire between them. Jin responded eagerly, sucking on Namjoon’s lower lip, savoring the moment as if it were a lifeline.

In that intimate bubble, Taehyung quietly excused himself, leaving the couple to savor their private moment, understanding the importance of their connection.

When they finally broke the kiss, Namjoon pulled Jin onto his lap, enveloping him in a protective embrace. He cradled Jin’s back, his touch soothing and deliberate, grounding him in the moment.

“Don’t worry, love,” Namjoon whispered, his breath warm against Jin’s ear. “Everything will be alright. Just relax, my love.” He held him close, their hearts beating in sync, both knowing they could face anything together.

“You okay now?” Namjoon asked softly, pressing a gentle kiss on Jin’s forehead, his eyes filled with concern and affection.

“Yeah, and thank you,” Jin replied, snuggling into the crook of Namjoon’s neck, feeling the warmth and security of his husband’s embrace.

With a playful grin, Namjoon teased, “We can continue this in bed, you know.”

“Shut up!” Jin exclaimed, playfully punching Namjoon’s chest, a blush creeping across his cheeks.

Namjoon let out a hearty laugh at his husband’s adorable reaction, his heart swelling with love for the man in his arms.

Just then, Taehyung’s voice echoed from the kitchen, “Lovebirds! Let’s have breakfast! I’ve set the table, so come quickly and eat!”

Jin chuckled, pulling back slightly to meet Namjoon’s gaze. “Guess we have to save our fun for later,” he said, a teasing smile on his lips.

“Later, then,” Namjoon promised, planting one last kiss on Jin’s lips before they both made their way to join Taehyung, ready to enjoy a cozy breakfast together.

ON BREAKFAST TABLE:

“So, uhmm, Hyung,” Taehyung began, glancing over at Jin, who looked a bit worried. “Are you ready to let me take on a job at JJk Enterprises?”

Jin’s brow furrowed slightly as he considered the question. “Tae, are you sure you want to do this? It can be really demanding, and I don’t want you to feel overwhelmed.”

Taehyung nodded, his determination shining through. “I know it won’t be easy, but I really want to try. I think it’s time for me to step up and take on new challenges.”

Jin took a deep breath, trying to ease his concerns. “I believe in you, but just promise me that if it ever gets too much, you’ll talk to me about it, okay?”

“Of course, Hyung!” Taehyung replied with a bright smile. “I’ll keep you updated every step of the way. Plus, I’ll have Namjoon to help me too!”

Jin chuckled softly, finally feeling a bit more at ease. “Alright then, if you’re excited about it, I’m excited for you. Just remember, I’m here for you no matter what.”

“Thanks, Jin!” Taehyung said, his enthusiasm bubbling over. “Now let’s go celebrate this new adventure with breakfast!”

............................................................................

After a delightful breakfast, the three of them settled into the cozy living room. Jin lounged on the couch, engrossed in a variety show on TV, while Namjoon was tucked into an armchair, lost in the pages of a gripping novel. Taehyung, ever the multitasker, was sprawled on the floor, happily tapping away on his phone.

Suddenly, the peaceful atmosphere was interrupted by the shrill ring of Taehyung’s phone, the screen flashing an unfamiliar number. The sound cut through the air like a jarring note in a harmonious melody.

Jin glanced up from the TV, raising an eyebrow. “Who’s calling you at this hour?”

Taehyung frowned, his curiosity piqued. “I have no idea. It’s an unknown number.” He hesitated for a moment, glancing at Jin and Namjoon. “Should I answer it?”

Namjoon looked up from his book, his expression shifting from focused to concerned. “Maybe it’s important. Just be careful.”

With a nod, Taehyung took a deep breath and pressed the answer button. “Hello?” he said, his voice steady but laced with curiosity.

As he listened intently, Jin and Namjoon exchanged glances, both intrigued by the sudden turn of events. The cozy environment had shifted, the air thick with anticipation as they awaited Taehyung's response.

??: Hello, am I speaking with Mr. Kim Taehyung?

Tae: Yes, who is this?

??: This is the HR department of JJk Enterprises. You applied for the position of personal secretary for Mr. Jeon Jungkook.

Tae: Yes... (shock evident in his voice)

??: Congratulations, sir! You have been selected for an interview. The interview will be on Monday, conducted at 10:00 AM sharp at the JJk main office. Please arrive by 9:00 AM.

Tae: Thank you so much! I’ll definitely be there at 9. Thank you! Bye.

As he hung up the phone, Taehyung's heart raced with excitement. He turned to Jin and Namjoon, his eyes wide with disbelief. “I got the interview! I can’t believe it!”

Jin jumped up from the couch, a proud smile spreading across his face. “That’s amazing, Tae! I knew you could do it!”

Namjoon set his book aside, joining in the celebration. “This is fantastic news! You’re one step closer to your dream!”

Taehyung beamed, his earlier nervousness replaced by pure joy. “I can’t wait! I’ll prepare all weekend. This is my chance!”

The cozy living room buzzed with energy as the three of them shared in Taehyung's excitement, the atmosphere now filled with encouragement and anticipation for the big day ahead at the JJk main office.
