*deleting this tweet later but do you guys want it?
The elevator ride up is deathly quiet The meeting ended a little after an hour later with a working plan in place. -- with Director Min working on speed-developing their next season’s release that had twice the specs as the original one so they could release that instead;
and with Director Park working on the legal side of things, and in charge of finding out if their blueprints were indeed leaked so a lawsuit could be filed.
It was a plan that Sajangnim thought of within five minutes, after each manager and director explained everything to him for more than half an hour.
They end the meeting after polishing said plan, and the next thing Taehyung knows, he finds himself following Sajangnim behind as they make their way to the elevators to head to the alpha’s office located at the very top floor of the building.
Taehyung is once again grateful that he’s wearing a new pad of scent blockers. He’s sure he would’ve reeked of discomfort as the events of his and Sajangnim’s last meeting looms in the elevator air.
He’s fidgeting in his own two feet, trying to think of a way to both thank the alpha for standing up for him at the meeting and to bring up the incident that happened between them so they could clear the air between them.
As soon as the elevator opens to the top floor, Taehyung pounces on the opportunity immediately to make things right.
“Sajangnim,” he says, speeding up his steps to walk beside him. Thanking his angels that the managers were still in the conference hall discussing some last minute things.
The alpha halts in his steps. Taehyung hears a defeated sigh coming from him but he opts to ignore it as Sajangnim turns to look in his direction, looking slightly sullen. “Secretary Kim,” he replies.
Taehyung notices two things: the lines under Sajangnim’s eyes and the slump on his shoulders, something that the omega has not seen before since the alpha is -- maybe, kind of, a little (a lot) narcissistic and is very much invested in his appearance,
plus he’s the type of wolf who oozes confidence. The scene at the meeting was proof of it. So he wonders why the alpha is like this suddenly, but he shrugs it off, wanting to make sure he /finally/ clears the air between them first.
“Sajangnim, listen, about our last meeting..” the omega starts to say. “You don’t have to mention it, Secretary Kim,” he replies quietly, “I mean, I realized my mistake and you have the right to do what you have to do and I respect it.”
Taehyung raises an eyebrow at him. “Well, things were kind of going a little too fast, sir, Sajangnim.” he says slowly. “You do understand that I had to take a step back from all that. Right?”
The CEO purses his lips at him. “Yeah like I said, I will respect and support your current and future decisions and I’ll make sure I’ll make these last few days count and memorable.”
“Really?” Taehyung asks, stifling a smile. “So, you’re still good with all this? You’re not upset about the whole -”
“I’m not upset, Secretary Kim.” Sajangnim intervenes. “If anything, it made me appreciate you more and I remembered what you told me before one our.. date” he trails off, scratching the back of his head.
“You said you didn’t like that I mixed my personal feelings with work; and just know that from here on out, I’ll keep it all natural and keep everything organic. No more showing off and stuff.” the CEO adds.
Taehyung smiles at him. “To be fair, I’ll like that better.” he says. “I mean, those last few days were a bit too much, Sajangnim.. but I'm grateful you're onboard with this.”
The alpha nods at him. “And you’ll get it. The two of us like how we always are,” he attempts to smile. “And I’ll make the days count.”
“I know you will.” Taehyung says, looking down before they both clear their throat and starts taking a few tentative steps to the reception desk. "Oh, and thank you for standing up for me earlier, sir. I appreciate it."
“You always have my back, Secretary Kim.” the CEO replies with a small smile but it looks genuine nonetheless. “You always had and don’t let those stupid alphas tell you otherwise. You’re.. You’re important. Always remember that.”
Taehyung gives him a shy smile before they finally part ways, with the omega going around his desk and taking his seat behind the computer, booting it up so he can start working again and while Sajangnim begins to make it through the door to his office.
But as the alpha reached the door, Taehyung sees him freeze and turn around to head back to his desk, making the omega raise a questioning eyebrow at him before the alpha deposits something on top of his desk.
It’s a bag. “What -?” Taehyung asks as he retrieves the bag and takes a peek inside and lets out a quiet gasp as he sees the inside of it. “What’s this for?”
Sajangnim shrugs his shoulders and places his hands in his pockets. “It’s a ‘I'll make the days count’ gift,” he answers timidly. Taehyung offers him a boxy smile. “I accept them, Sajangnim.” he says, making the alpha nod before the latter finally disappears to his office.
Just like what the alpha promised, things were indeed back to normal.
Sajangnim acts like his usual self without all the unnecessary extra attention he had given Taehyung in those two days he actively pursued him, and with Taehyung doing his everyday duties like how he always does. Only, it didn't feel normal.
Taehyung couldn't exactly pinpoint what it was since the alpha acted normally, since /they/ acted like they always do; with Taehyung back to going to the alpha’s house every morning to pick out his suit and the omega doing the other’s tie for him like he always had,
with them walking into Jeon Corporation’s main office with a whole team following behind while they walked side by side, with Taehyung sitting in on the alpha’s meetings and whispering important tidbits into the alpha’s ear that would be helpful in speeding things up,
and with Taehyung waiting outside the CEO’s office behind his desk, answering phone calls and filtering emails for him, just like what he’s doing now. They're back to what they were. But again, /something/ was different. He knows there is.
After all, they were the ones attached to the hip for the past five years. Sajangnim was always the first and the last person Taehyung saw almost everyday and knows it’s the same for the alpha.
It was their bodies and minds who always moved in sync; like clockwork. Like they were magnets that always drew the other in, where if one would act, the other would instantly follow.
Plus Taehyung liked to think that they were each other’s constant, but not in a way where things didn’t change in the years they worked for, no. Change was something that happened on the daily, especially in the fast paced life of a CEO and their secretary.
But constant in a way, where if things change, for the bad or for the good, the way that they are with each other will stay like it has always been. Safe. Familiar. And in a way, like home.
One of the telltale signs that was putting the secretary off was the CEO’s gaze, there was something there that changed. It wasn’t bad per say, if anything, it made the /boom boom/ inside his chest pound a little louder than it already is.
His gaze was heavy with meaning that Taehyung has yet to uncover, and his soft eyes practically screamed at him in silence.
The omega could not help but think that the alpha looks at him like he misses him. Like he was taking in as much as he could when he looked at him, like Taehyung was going to disappear in any second. Which was, again, odd.
He has a few guesses as to what that is, -- one of them is the limited remaining days that the alpha had left to prove to Taehyung that he’s really serious in courting him.
Taehyung -- although his inner omega is ready to be courted and won over by the alpha -- is still slightly wary of accepting him again.
As he said, Taehyung knows his boss’s one and two, he knows what the other is about to do just as they thought of it since they practically share a telepathy.
The whole courting thing, at first, made him happy. The idea of his feelings being requited made him /stupidly/ happy.
But as the euphoria and excitement dwindled down and when Taehyung was finally able to assess the alpha more closely the morning he went to his house, he could not help but feel like there was something wrong. That he made a mistake.
That /1/ day out of the 1900 days they worked together was the /only/ time their constancy threatened to change. It was the only time when things didn’t feel right and everything felt foreign, like the air percolated with awkwardness and hesitancy,
and although the realization of his mistake made the inside of the omega’s chest crack, he knew he had to take that step back to save whatever it was they had going. To keep their safe place safe.
So it surprised him to hear the alpha saying that he was actually serious in courting him. He went nearly deaf at how loud his mind screamed at him to deny him, but it was that soft beat, that damned soft beat of his heart that compelled him to say yes.
Taehyung could tell that Sajangnim tried his best with all those gifts, with the attention, the compliments and everything else but they all felt superficial. The attempted scenting threw him off, definitely.
He’s heard the ‘I told you so’ echo in his head for more than he could count. But despite it all, he still holds on to that beat. That damn beat. /Stupid beat/, Taehyung sighed as he moved his mouse to bring his computer to life.
“Secretary Kim,” Sajangnim says, immediately making the omega stand on his two feet to bow at him. The alpha’s voice was slightly laced with coldness and his eyes were unreadable.
“Can you please advise Director Min to get back to me as soon as he returns from his trip from our manufacturing site?”
Director Min was currently in Jeju, personally taking the lead in rushing their next season’s release so it could be ready by release day. Their Jeju site was basically located in a secluded area and it was hard to get reception there.
Taehyung already formed a plan to contact a friend of his who lives a little near the area so the director could receive the CEO’s message as soon as it could. He instantly nods at him. “Right away, Sajangnim,” he replies. “Anything else?”
“Follow up with Director Park on that new Marketing Director,” Sajangnim adds. “The chairwoman will be holding a meeting with the board with everyone. We need to make sure everyone’s there.”
