King's Corp

Chapter 16

But luckily, Taehyung doesn't get offended. Not seriously at least. "Oh-wow," he scoffs. "Screw you," he says after a moment, unable to come up with an argument. Jungkook giggles at Taehyung's words as he lets his eyes drift onto the view in front of them. 

"It's beautiful," he whispers after a moment of staring, fearing that if he speaks too loud, the breathtaking view would shatter under the weight of his words. As he looks out ahead of him, he sees a small glimpse of the Eiffel tower in the distance, its hard steel covered with an icy layer of frost. The sun slowly seeps into the horizon as it sets, unleashing a warm yellow that settles over the old buildings, filling their broken fragments with a trickle of its golden syrup. 

"It is," Taehyung says, equally quiet. He then turns around and walks back into the room. "Actually, that reminds me."

The older walks back out holding a camera, causing Jungkook to furrow his eyebrows. "A camera?"

Taehyung hums. "Whenever I travel, even if it's a business trip. I like to take a camera with me to capture moments like these." He smiles softly as he looks out at the view. "It's nice to have a reminder with me that the world isn't all that horrible, a little memory to show the times when I feel happy."

He then presses a button on the camera and starts recording, zooming into the view to capture a closer angle of the sight. "Right now, I'm in Paris..." Taehyung says, speaking to the camera. The sight reminds Jungkook of a YouTuber and the thought of his boss being a YouTuber makes him giggle. The noise gains Taehyung's attention who turns the camera to face Jungkook. 

"And here we have Bun, eating trash."

Jungkook's smile instantly turns into a small scowl. "It's not trash," he grumbles, almost cradling his ice cream. 

Taehyung laughs throatily, "sure thing, whatever you say."

He then picks up a spoon of his own ice cream and waves it in front of the younger. "Try this," he says while trying to balance the camera in his other hand. 

Jungkook, like a child, refuses to open his mouth and turns his head away. Taehyung rolls his eyes, "oh come on, don't be childish," he huffs. 

Jungkook turns his head back. "Childish? Sir, you're the one fighting over ice cr-mfsnf," Jungkook's words get muffled as Taehyung shoves the spoon of vanilla flavoured ice cream into his mouth.

Jungkook swallows hesitantly and then blinks up at the man. Taehyung holds the camera and nods eagerly. "So?"

"It's so..." Jungkook starts. He then awkwardly smiles up at the camera before continuing. "Boring."

Taehyung scoffs and instantly turns the camera off. "I'm going to have to edit that part out," he mumbles. Jungkook smiles, somewhat fascinated by this more carefree relaxed side of his boss. Taehyung leaves the balcony to put back his camera and then comes back holding a blanket. 

Jungkook tilts his head in question as Taehyung plops down on the chair with the blanket. 

"What?" The ravenette questions. "It's fuckin cold."

Jungkook laughs at his bluntness and nods. "It is."

Taehyung turns to him, "want some?" he asks while holding up a bit of the blanket, offering it like it's candy. Jungkook smiles and simply nods in answer. 

Taehyung drapes the blanket over both their bodies and Jungkook scoots slightly closer to the man so that it fits. Now, with the warm cloth enveloping their bodies, they opt to stare out into the distance, admiring the sun as it eases into slumber, splashing the clouds with pastel shades.
