Ó╭╮Ò
Jeongguk's  fingers  absolutely  ache- he'd  been  working  on  this #stolen project from min yoongi all afternoon, who didn't mind at all and complied to his wishes far too easily  and  it's  already evening.
The strange thing is, for the first time in his whole career he's not enjoying the work. He can't  find  any  sort  of  inspiration to carry on. He's been sitting there with opened file but can't find himself to read it with concentration, he has read the whole file in his mind but he's unable to understand a single word. 
It's  like  he's  run  himself  dry,  and  the thought  of  it  scares  him. 
Right  now, his mind is somewhere else, probably he had left it back in the house before leaving because the thoughts of certain someone is running on a loop in his mind, the thoughts of beautiful giggles and laughs shared with someone else other than himself, he's unable to wipe those heart stinging thoughts away.
He doesn't even know if he had blink in a past hour because now if he shuts his eyes, they burn every single time.
"Wao, I've totally enjoyed your misery for hours but now even I'm getting bored and I know the past me would never ask you this-"  Yoongi  says, plopping  down  in different position on his well-worn  couch  in  his office,  and  sets  down  a  cup  of  coffee on the  table, "-are you okay jeon?"
The other just looks at him, "I'm fine," Jeongguk grunts, he looks down at his file again. Now that he has come back to his senses, he really can  practically  smell  the  caffeine  in  the  air,  and  he knows, if  he  sets the file down on the table now, he won't be picking it up again. 
"As much as I don't care, but You realize  you're  on hiatus, right? As  in,  not  supposed  to  be  working?" Jeongguk  sighs,  and  he  finally  gives  up  for  the evening.  
He gets up and seats himself besides yoongi on thecouch, setting the file on the coffee table along with his cell and reaches  out  for  the yoongi's cup in front of him, takes it without minding yoongi at all and finally tastes the bitter, dark liquid  has  never  felt  more  welcome  on  his  tongue.
"Woah, you're desperate." Yoongi  snorts. "It's  late. You  should  be  in bed with your husband, considering  you're . . .you know newlyweds? Or something, But you're here in my office,  working my work for the past 6 hours, it shouldn't  even bother me but looking at your face now is giving me creeps."
Jeongguk  fixes  Yoongi  with  a  sharp  glare, But  Yoongi  has  been working under him for long  enough  that  he's used  to  Jeongguk's  attitude,  and  knows that he  usually  doesn't mean it.  Usually. 
"If  I  don't  want lose my consistency, I  have  to  work everyday. Even on break."
"If  you  want  to  be  miserable  for  the  rest  of  your  life, yeah,  keep  working,  But  you're  young, Jeongguk. This  is  supposed  to  be  your  chance  to like- relax, for  the  first  time  since  you've been a CEO,"  Yoongi  says.  "Go  to your husband, make love and all and don't come to the office like forever if you can." Yoongi's cringes at his own words. 
"Yeah, so that you can laze around freely?" Yoongi  narrows  his  eyes at him, but  Jeongguk  just  narrows  his own in  return. 
Sometime yoongi wishes that Jeongguk would  act like his  age  and  throw  a  tantrum,  or  yell,  or  do  something  childish or doesn't care about his employees doing their work properly without mistakes or not, 
But  it's  always  cold  hard facts. 
Always  working, Always  thinking  about how to do his best. 
"Just-"  Yoongi  sighs,  getting  up  from  his  seat. "Just go home,  alright?  You  have a husband now, and he's new here. You shouldn't leave him alone for this long okay. You've someone to go now jeongguk," And you don't know how much I've prayed for that to happen. 
The  corner  of  Jeongguk's  lips  twitch  up at  that, and  he  nods  once, before  turning  to  pick  up  his file again, as if he even wants me there, jeongguk mentally scoffs. 
Yoongi  sighs again,  knowing  the  conversation  is  over.
His other manager friends  from other companies never even get to see their bosses for like months, who doesn't even care about their employee's not doing their work, But  Jeongguk  was  never  like  that. The  kid  had  a  drive  that  Yoongi  had never  seen  before,  and  it  was  almost  frightening, if  it  wasn't  so  rewarding for the company and the people working under him. 
They're afraid of him but they respect him as much, including yoongi, who'll never admit it loud to the younger. Never
Meanwhile jeongguk's cell phone chimes under the other files on the table, he pulls it out and boy if his face was giving creeps yoongi before, now it's on another level. Jeongguk drops the file with not so hidden frustration on the table and angrily types something on his screen, the force of the taps on the screen makes yoongi wonder if there're any scratches on the surface. 
After that jeongguk abruptly stands up and goes for his coat and before leaving he turns around and looks at yoongi. 
Moments pass, he doesn't say anything but when yoongi raises his eyebrow, he finally speaks, "Hey  hyung?"  Jeongguk  asks  as  Yoongi face turns  into a shocked question mark because jeongguk rarely drops honorifics, almost once in a blue moon and yoongi knows he's serious and he can't even find himself to mock jeongguk now. 
Jeongguk looks  oddly  hesitant. "Can  I  ask  you a question?"
"You just  did." 
Jeongguk  makes a noise  of  exasperation. "You  know  what  I  mean." 
Yoongi  grins, "Ask  away, since you're not being a bossy asshole." Jeongguk didn't even react at that and yoongi thinks, he's really desperate, he sighs. 
"Do  you. . .Am i. . .Do you think  I suck?  Like," Jeongguk  scrambles  to  explain  himself  at Yoongi's  amused  expression.  "Am  I boring  in  real  life  than  I  seem like or-or I'm a difficult person to be around?" 
Yoongi gapes at him, shocked (internally). 
"Listen, kid.  You're easy with the people you know and are close with, as much as I despise your boss persona, I don't think you suck, actually you're literally easier to be around more than me. So tell me, am I a difficult person to be around to you?" Jeongguk shakes his head because for him, yoongi's more like himself and he doesn't have to play pretend around him. So it's always easy to be around him. 
"But wait. Did your dear husband told you that you're boring? That's why you're going for the 'hyung' card? If yes, then I don't about that he might be right." Yoongi says. 
Jeongguk's  ears  are  tinted  pink. "No! I  was just asking, h-he didn't say it himself."  He  even  looks  mildly  embarrassed. 
"Kid, you're  fine.  Don't  go  getting  all  insecure  on  me  now,  of  all  the  times-" 
"It was  just  a  question, yoongi-ssi.  Chill out." 
"If  anyone  needs  to  chill  out,  it's  you, bossy jeon." Jeongguk  rolls  his  eyes  as  he opens  the  door to leave, one  foot already  in  the  hallway.  
"It wasn't my husband by the way, it was Jimin and I'm  gonna kill him for that."
When he leaves, yoongi gets up after him and shouts behind his back, "Jimin? Park jimin!? Come back jeon! You've not even done your goddamn work!" But jeongguk smirks instead, already half way to elevator when he shoos yoongi away with a raised waving hand in the air.
