As the sun streamed through the curtains, casting a warm glow into the room, Jungkook stirred from his slumber with a sense of anticipation. It was a bright Saturday morning, a day free from the confines of school. Yet, as he blinked away the remnants of sleep and glanced beside him, he was met with an empty space where his husband should have been.

With a sigh, Jungkook realized that Taehyung was likely already at the office, immersed in his work. Despite it being the weekend, Taehyung's dedication to his job often led him to work long hours, earning him the title of a workaholic in Jungkook's eyes.

Pushing himself out of bed, Jungkook embarked on his morning routine, the familiar rituals offering solace in the face of Taehyung's absence. Freshened up and ready to face the day, he descended the stairs to find breakfast already laid out, courtesy of the thoughtful maid who had anticipated his arrival.

Settling into his seat at the table, Jungkook couldn't shake the loneliness that settled over him in Taehyung's absence. Summoning his courage, he finally inquired about Taehyung's whereabouts, his heart heavy with concern.

"Has Taehyung had his breakfast?" Jungkook asked the maid, hoping for reassurance.

The maid's response confirmed Jungkook's suspicions, and he nodded in understanding, grateful for her insight. Determined to make the most of the day, Jungkook decided to indulge in some relaxation, opting to watch movies on Netflix and unwind.

As lunchtime approached and Taehyung still hadn't returned home, Jungkook's concern deepened. Resolved to ensure his husband didn't go without a proper meal, he made a bold decision to visit Taehyung at the office, despite having done so only once before.

Heading to the kitchen, Jungkook sought guidance from the maid on Taehyung's favorite dishes. Armed with the knowledge that Taehyung loved kimchi, Jungkook set to work, carefully preparing a meal with concentrated and attention to detail.

As he cooked, Jungkook couldn't shake the nerves that fluttered in his stomach. Despite his uncertainty, he felt a deep-seated desire to ensure Taehyung felt good and cared for, even in his absence.

Finishing his culinary endeavor, Jungkook retreated to his room to prepare for his visit to Taehyung's office. Opting for a striking white silk shirt that accentuated his skin and ripped jeans that added a touch of casual charm, he couldn't help but wonder why he felt the need to dress up.

With the meal meticulously packed and his appearance perfected, Jungkook embarked on his journey, heart pounding with a mix of nerves and determination. Stepping into the waiting car, he braced himself for the encounter that lay ahead, unsure of what awaited him at Taehyung's office.

Arriving at the imposing office building, Jungkook took a moment to gather his resolve before stepping inside. As he approached the reception counter, he was met with the sight of a new face, a polite smile gracing her features as she recognized him as the boss's husband.

"Hello, Mr. Kim," she greeted, her voice warm with familiarity as she extended a welcoming gesture.

Returning the smile, Jungkook reciprocated the polite greeting, his curiosity piqued but interrupted as the receptionist spoke up once more, her tone carrying a hint of caution.

"Boss is on the third floor, in his office," she informed him, her words tinged with concern. "But be careful, Mr. Kim. He's not in the best mood right now."
