Taekook au:

Rival CEOs taehyung and jeongguk are known in the industry for their petty fights, whenever they’re together, drama will insure. tae’s therapist is familiar w/ jeon’s name as tae always whines it.
One day, tae barges in his office and admits;

“Me and Jeon kissed!”

At first namjoon’s taken aback, no “jeongguk’s the worst” w/ an angered expression, no insults of “I hate him”, tae only sits in the chair w/ his face in his hands, hopeless.

“How did it happen?” he eventually promotes, and tae blushes red from even just thinking about the incident, mumbling begrudgingly, “in the bathroom of last night’s event.” he keeps biting his inner cheek, seemingly embarrassed.

He can’t believe he let himself be persuaded into a heated makeout session in a lousy bathroom w/ his worst nemesis. He’ll never show his face infront of jeongguk ever again. He’ll have to move countries, change his name if he has to.

He’s mad at himself for letting his guard down and moaning wantonly when jeongguk kissed him, he’s never gonna let it go, will tease him 24/7 in every argument they’ll have from now on. Ugh. He buries his face in his hands again.

“Was there something that led to your kiss?” namjoon asks, and tae pouts w/ a furrow in his brows in concentration.
He rests his face in his hand, his cheek getting squished as he contemplates.

It was pretty normal, he thinks, they both got plus ones for the media, jeongguk of course bringing a gorgeous super model that hanged off his arm gracefully. He /might’ve/ gave her the stink eye, but that’s just because he knows she’s known as a diva when it comes to modeling.

jeongguk made a snarky comment on his plus one, but he didn’t expect any different, he guesses. What was what he said?
“He called my date an ‘old b grade actor’, but he seems to just hate bogum for a reason.” He scratches his head sheepishly. “might’ve called his date a skank.”

namjoon shakes his head, exasperated. tae pouts at him. “don’t look at me like that! We all know she’s only latching on jeon for fame.” at least /his/ date doesn’t try to empty out his wallet. bogum just tries to take him out on dates every once in a while, despite his refusal.

he remembers press was all over them when he and jeon greeted one another, tae having to shake hands w/ the model, she didn’t even let go of jeongguk’s arm to shake his hand, talking about rude.

it was after the speech he had given, he went to the bathroom for a break after socializing and answering questions after questions. just as he was about to leave jeongguk stopped him.

taehyung doesn’t know how it happened, one moment jeongguk was complimenting his speech when suddenly they’re spitting remarks over each other’s dates.

“how do you even date him? doesn’t it get boring when he goes to bed at eight pm?”

tae sends him a venomous glare, bogum isn’t /old/. “he’s thirty three! Not sixty.” Tae huffs, the /nerve/ of him. “does it not get boring fvcking dumbos? I bet she can’t hold /one/ interesting conversation.”

“better than talking w/ a boring old man.”

tae feels his face heating up in anger, “I’ll let you know he’s a very knowledgeable and respected man, which I can’t say for /you/.”
jeongguk scoffs, retorting, “you and I both know that’s bullshit, sweetheart, I’m probably the most respected man you’ll ever meet.”

taehyung hates that he’s right, w/ the endless list of accomplishments at only twenty three, jeongguk is a well known prodigy.

jeongguk’s gaze darkens, then, his eyes turning hooded w/ a dirty glint underlying them, suddenly taking a step towards tae as he murmurs.

“I bet that’s why you’ve been so antsy lately, what’s wrong, kim, you having problems in the bedroom department?” tae gasps at his accusation, spoken so crudely it leaves him speechless for a muted moment.
“My sex life is /none/ of your concern—“

“I bet I’ll fvck you better.”

he’s so close, now, taehyung’s back colliding w/ the wall behind him as jeon looks at him cockily, waiting for his answer. taehyung can do nothing but gape, cheeks burning, but he doesn’t push jeongguk back. “what do you say, sweetheart, want to find out if I’m right?”

jeongguk leans closer, their lips so close to brushing, but he doesn’t make another move, even when tae wordlessly tilts his head upward to meet w/ his. His breath starts coming in short pants, a quiet whimper escaping as confirmation to his approval, but jeongguk doesn’t move.

“what is it that you want, sweetheart?”
he’s so smug, tae can hear it in his voice as he doesn’t close the gap, not even when tae tries to lean in himself. taehyung huffs, eyes closed in anticipation, & orders as his hand comes to push jeon closer by the nape. “Kiss me already.”

And kiss him he does, tae’s never felt anything like it. their tongues caress one another, jeongguk’s hands pulling him closer by the waist. he moans desperately as his hand come to bury in his hair and frantically pull jeongguk closer w/ a grip at his clothed back.

they only stop kissing when they hear someone approaching in their direction. they hastily pull apart, Tae’s lips red and swollen w/ a hickey starting to blossom just above his collar, jeongguk not in a better condition w/ hair tousled from tae’s relentless hands & gaze lustful.

they greet the intruder awkwardly, both hurrying out the door right after. tae’s more than surprised when jeongguk pulls him into another kiss right in the middle of the hallway, kissing tae until he’s chasing his lips for more when they part.

He inspects tae’s dizzy expression fondly, sweeping his thumb over tae’s swollen lower lip when he purrs. “You sound even better than I imagined.” even though Tae doesn’t verbally answer, he knows his eyes reflect the same shock on how good the kiss felt.

They both go back to their respective dates, casual excuses tumbling past their lips as they do, throwing hidden glances at each other throughout the remaining evening.

I’ll be back with more later :)

The following weeks are filled w/ blushing tae telling namjoon of every little encounter they have.
“We had a meeting together w/ other companies & somehow we ended up sitting next to each other & our thighs kept brushing.”

“He bid me goodbye when it ended, what does it mean?”

“He invited me to dinner! Do you think it means it’s going to be a date?”

“I don’t know, tae, it might.”

tae ends up putting a lot of effort in his look & even invites jimin (his assistant) over to help him only to arrive at the restaurant & see three colleagues already there.

Apparently poor jeongguk DID intend it to be a date but a few of their common friends heard him talking about it to his assistant and invited themselves >:(

taehyung is very mad the entire evening and his friends don’t know why his expression is so sour, they blame it on work. when the rest of the group decides to end the night tae doesn’t even tell them goodbye and pointedly ignores Jeongguk’s call of his name as he takes his leave.

he doesn’t answer jeongguk’s texts either, and jeongguk knows he fvcked up. Later that week taehyung furiously recalls the events of that evening, graciously taking a tissue as namjoon offers him one.

“Like an idiot I came all dressed up, he didn’t even glance in my direction.”

the next meeting he has w/ namjoon he dramatically opens the door in a similar fashion to last time, and declares. “We had sex!”

After a very very long explanation to a confused namjoon tae explains that jeongguk ended up catching him when he was on his way home one day,

Tae admits he tried to get inside his car and ignore jeongguk but he grabbed his wrist and confessed that he’s sorry about that night, and that he hadn’t meant to invite the others and that it /had been/ supposed to be a date. Tae blushes, then, and mumbles, embarrassed.

“He confessed that he wanted us to date and then we were kissing and then I invited him into my house and,” taehyung coughs, the tips of his ears burning. Recalling how good jeongguk felt inside him as he fvcked into him roughly but made him feel cared for all the same. “Yeah.”

After that night they do end up going on another date which starts very very awkward because they’re not fighting but they’re not kissing either so they don’t know how to act. They remain relatively silent up until jeongguk accidentally spills wine over himself from nerves.

Tae can’t help the snort that tickles in his throat at Jeongguk’s clumsiness, and somehow the tense air dissipates, and they end up sharing a lot about themselves and realize they have many common interests, some of them include their love for Kdramas, dogs and scaring interns.

“It’s just, the scared look in their eyes as you silently look at them—“
“It makes something bubble in your chest.”
“/Exactly/.”

And while their schedules are very busy they always find ways to meet one another in between work, sometimes they slip from their office a little earlier, and /maybe/ they come late to a meeting together one morning because jeongguk’s kisses are very distracting.

They become a power couple when the press goes crazy as a paparazzi gets a picture of tae and jeongguk making out outside of their house, later that day they announce that they are, in fact, dating.

And once bogum calls tae while they’re fvcking, jeongguk purposely answers the phone for him while still continuing to pound into Tae roughly, telling bogum that Tae is currently /busy/, well aware that tae’s moans can be heard over the call, hanging up right after.

Next time the encounter bogum he doesn’t try to flirt with tae.
When jeongguk proposes two years later they both cry their eyes out from happiness and have a beach wedding in Hawaii :)
