     "What the fuck was in your mind when you accepted? How can you accept something like that?" Min Yoongi asks in a raspy yet confused tone, raising his eyebrows.

     Taehyung looks at him, leaving some files on the desk, then gets up from his leather chair.

      "Jungkook's father was one of my father's best friend. He said I have to do this, to save the company."

     "For saving the company? From what?" Yoongi asks again, then th other one sighs.

      "From Mathew's hands. Mathew is Jungkook's uncle, and from what I heard he really wants to steal that company." Taehyung explains and the other one looks at him surprised.

       "How can he do this? They are not relatives?"

     The CEO shrugs then looks over his phone, at the time. In twenty minutes he must attend another meeting. Yeah, to be the CEO is not so simple. 

      "I guess everything is possible when you want money. You forget instantly the fact that your sister and your brother-in-law died, and your nephew is alone." he reply then approach on his desk again, looking over some papers.

      "Tae, I'm your secretary over three years, but first of all, I am you friend since we were teenagers. You really want to do this? Marriage is not something to joke about." the silver haired-boy warnings his friend in a softer voice, while the other one looks again at his phone.

     Yes, Kim Taehyung and Min Yoongi are friends since high school. They became friends in the ninth grade when they had to work on a project together. They both got along very well, right after that. and over time, their friendship grew stronger. And when Taehyung's father told him he had to become the new CEO, Taehyung desperately wanted Yoongi to stay close to him, so he named him his secretary.

     "I know, Yoongs, I know. But everything is nothing more but just a contract, you understand?" Taehyung asks then sits again on his chair. "All this drama won't last more than a year, anyway. I've already clarified this with Jungkook, and even on top of that, I made some rules as well." the CEO explains and the other one raises his left eyebrow. 

      "Rules? You really made some rules for your own future husband?" Yoongi asks in an amused voice, and the younger one rolls his eyes. 

      "Fake future husband, Yoongs." he corrects him and then shrugs. "And I just wanted to be sure that he understood how our marriage will be. Everything will be just an act, just a compromise to save his father's company. He must understand this before we will start all this... game." he continues after while his friend glances at him. 

     "What if he will fall for you? What if he will start catching feelings for you? What will you do then?" the silver haired-boy asks, and the other one thinks a few seconds, then just rolls his eyes. 

      "It is not like he will be the first person who loves me. I will just ignore him, I guess." Taehyung answers then starts searching for something on his laptop. 

      "And what if you fall for him?"

     The question makes the man from the chair to stop looking at the laptop, and then to glance at his friend. To fall in love with Jungkook? That's the best joke he's ever heard this week. Yes, maybe the doll-eyed boy has a cute smile. And yes, maybe his voice is strangely warm, but Taehyung only knows him as an arrogant and naughty pamper. Nothing more.
