#taekookau in which Kim Taehyung signs himself up for a dating agency, hoping to find the perfect boyfriend. Instead, he finds Jeon Jungkook, the ambitious, strict CEO, whose heart has gone cold ages ago. (+)

(+) Their interactions are initially rough and full of tension, but as the two begin to open up to each other, they realize that love or feelings don't stay hidden for long.

💜 Prologue 💜

Somewhere in the heart of Seoul, there was a lavish, decadent restaurant with a spacious area and large glass windows. The rich and prominent society often visited the place to have business meetings or romantic dates with their companies.

The days and nights were busy due to the large crowds of people, who were sitting at their respective tables, waiting for their ordered food or drinks. The servers were constantly on the move, making sure that every table and customer was taken care of.

The noise level was high as everyone chattered and laughed, enjoying their moment of bliss together.

The main cook was known for finding the most delicious and unique dish recipes, which made the guests of this restaurant enjoy their food wholeheartedly.

The helpers in the kitchen were also very much qualified for their assigned work so everyone could work in a comfortable and efficient environment.

The restaurant was packed with people this evening, due to the fact that there was a big festival happening in just a few days.

The workers at the restaurant were happy to see the tiredness of the night, as it was better to be busy than bored. The guests also left some generous tips for them after finishing with their food, which the servers were very happy about.

Tonight was also the same night when a well-known dating agency decided to appoint a romantic, peaceful date for one of their longest clients. Kim Taehyung, a man who appeared out of nowhere, wanted to find the perfect boyfriend, (+)

and with the upcoming agency competition just around the corner, the company was glad to have a new single customer to focus their efforts on. At the time, they didn't know much about him, but as the months passed,the members of the staff worked to get to know the most about him.

However, despite their best efforts, the team was never ready for the troubles that Kim Taehyung would get them into.

"Amorous"

The bold, curvy logo in bright, neon letters was displayed on the dark nameplate, which was hanging from above the enormous glass door with black wooden frames. The company was a popular dating agency found in Seoul; they even had smaller offices around the country.

The headquarters were located at Apgujeong-dong, one of the highly famous neighborhoods of Gangnam. The luxurious white building was hard to miss, with its three floors and around 40 windows, as well as the big and joint glass window in the middle at the stairway.

The structure of the building looked sleek and modern; the walls were made of beautiful, white alabaster, clean tiles, and the windows had black frames. There were pictures of different couples, surrounded by other love-focused decorations as well, (+)

which were there to support the company's image and reputation.

The same impeccable reputation was the first thing that drew Kim Taehyung towards this agency. If his well-connected acquaintances are to be believed,

Amorous has had the most success in helping young couples find each other in recent months around the country. That was what he needed after so many of his relationships had gone wrong, partly because of his past mistakes.

Even if he considered himself to be a benevolent and kind person, as he never complained to any of his exes about their choices, his own habits were truly aggravating to endure many times.

So he came to see if he was really destined to spend the rest of his life alone and without a partner. That happened months ago now, and he has gone on various dates since then, including with company heirs, other media figures, or even regular people.

All of them were charming in their own way, and every so often, Taehyung would have a great time with the other party. However, there were occasions when the other men would take off before the date concluded, leaving him alone without any way of explaining his actions.

Even the staff members started realizing why his past relationships never worked out. Afterward, they dedicated themselves and their work to helping him overcome his problematic habits. Nonetheless, Taehyung knew he'd need more time to learn control over his body and mind.

Taehyung was in a van with five staff members currently. They were helping him get ready for his date with a model who had signed with the agency to find a long-term boy or girlfriend. The staff said this model's relationships only lasted a month or two.

In Taehyung's understanding, the model's career and frequent trips could have something to do with this. He hoped that their incapacity would help them get along, but at the same time, he was still feeling insecure and nervous about this night.

"Are you ready? There are just a few minutes left until it's time." Yeonjun, one of the company's employees, suddenly said getting Taehyung's attention back in the present. He just finished brushing the client's suit for the last time.

For today's date, the staff gave him several suits from which he ended up choosing one with a popular color and style. He was wearing dark blue pants with a gray suit jacket and a fitting vest of the same material and design.

He also put an ironed white shirt and a blue, gold-striped necktie on. His hair was curly and another boy from his crew, Kai, gave him a smokey eyeshadow and some natural concealer for his skin tone.

There was a bit of lipstick on his lips that made them look shinier and fuller than the original. In the younger's and as well in the staff members' opinion, he looked exceptionally stunning for tonight's date.

"I'm not sure. Are you guys certain that it will be okay for me to go on this date with this guy? Will he even like me?" He voiced his thoughts while looking at himself in the mirror.

Despite hearing all the compliments from the team and reading the exhibitory resume of his partner, Taehyung couldn't help himself but to feel insecure. The two of them came from completely different worlds.

While he was still a new designer, the guy with whom he will be meeting today was already in this business for years and had gained recognition from all over Asia. If the articles about him were indeed true, he also seemed to like to enjoy his personal life with various stunts.

This made Taehyung feel interested in the boy, because he usually tried out different kinds of sports or pastimes. He hoped that they would have something in common to talk about during their dinner in this way.

That was at least a reassuring thing to think about, so he chose to concentrate on the present and not worry about the future yet.

Furthermore, in that moment, Beomgyu chose to speak up and reply to him while turning around from the computers. "Just go, everything will be fine."

He was another employee, who was in the small truck with them, and with a reassuring smile plastered on his face, he promptly stood up and walked to the company’s newest customer.

"Look. I know how you must be feeling, but..." He paused in front of Taehyung before grabbing the prepared ring with a fake jewel on top from the closest table and giving it to the young boy. "Press this and one of us will enter to rescue you and end the date. It's that easy."

He put his hand on the other’s shoulder with a light, gentle touch and gave him another encouraging smile. Beomgyu has always been a big support to Taehyung and helped him break out of his insecurities before all these dates happened.

He was also very talented regarding all kinds of technological things, from electronics to programming; he was a great help for Taehyung's team, offering his expertise and advice wherever needed.

“Alright, then let’s do this.” He breathed out, nodding to himself and asked the staff members before he rose to his feet and brushed the last bit of dust off from his suit jacket and the pants too.

After taking the small ring from Beomgyu, he checked his reflection one last time before turning to the employees, who started to slowly turn into his friends as time went on. “Do you guys feel like you're sufficiently prepared to have me go inside and meet with this model now?”

“Yes, of course. We have everything ready for you to meet with Seojoon. Therefore, we wish you good luck, tiger.” All five of them gave him supportive smiles before Soobin, the oldest and the more responsible member, leaned out from the driver’s seat to tell him something.

All five of them gave him supportive smiles before Soobin, the the more responsible member, leaned out from the driver’s seat to tell him something. “Also let’s not forget that it will be better for you to act differently to hide your true self. Just do as we practiced, alright?”

“Yes, Soobin. The obsessive and annoying Kim Taehyung is no longer present from here on out.” Despite the cruel meaning behind these words, they stopped feeling hurtful to hear as Taehyung had accepted his flaws a long time ago.

He grinned back at his friends before getting out of the van. “Thank you for everything. I will see you all later then.”

A few minutes later, Taehyung found himself inside the restaurant, trailing after the server, who had greeted him with a smile at the door.

There was low, relaxing music playing in the background, with all the tables set for the peculiar pairs’ meetings. As he was being escorted next to these, he could see that a few were still empty, waiting for their respective customers to arrive.

The company booked one next to the glass windows, which he was led to after telling the footman his name and the reason for why he came here. The street view from the window provided the perfect backdrop for the date along with the cozy atmosphere of the eating place.

There weren't any familiar faces to Taehyung, so the location was even more convenient for the two partners to see each other in person for the first time. After taking a seat, the boy thanked the waiter and listened as he told him about the appetizers he could order.

There were several interesting options to choose from, but the boy felt like he should wait for the model to arrive first before ordering any food, so he just chose to have a glass of water for now.

However, he didn’t have to wait for a long time as a broad man appeared.

"Hello! You must be Kim Taehyung, right?" The man asked with a kind smile and a slight lean from the side as he looked at the young man sitting at their table already. The man had a warm, pleasant voice and was dressed in a dark, luxurious blue, velvet suit (+)

which looked good in contrast to the slightly unbuttoned white shirt underneath it.

"Oh...yes...I'm...My name is Kim Taehyung." The boy answered the question with a slight stutter, accompanied by a pretty blush that was rising on his round, squishable cheeks.

Taehyung rose to his feet with a polite, bowing gesture, trying his best to show some deference to the model.

"Thank god. I'm Park Seojoon. Were you waiting for a long time for me to arrive? I'm sorry for being late,

there was a lot of traffic on the road and I wasn't expecting it to be so congested at this time of the day." The man explained while apologizing profusely as he felt quite embarrassed and regretful for being unpunctual to such an important date.

He took a seat at the other side of the table, sitting down just opposite Taehyung, and began to adjust the diner's setting to his liking while keeping an eye on the younger man.

"No, it's totally fine. I also just arrived a little while ago, so I didn't have to wait that long for you." Taehyung replied with a warm smile on his face, which reached to his gorgeous eyes slightly.

His companion’s eyes wandered all over his features and body, seeming to be observing everything regarding his date. Taehyung only hoped that the team had been successful in their plan of impressing Seojoon with his externally-appearing characteristics.

"That's great. Did you already order?" His partner inquired, before adding smoothly and recountingly. "I heard that the cook here is an extremely talented and skilled chef who has won a number of awards for his dishes. I'm looking forward to trying his food."

"Oh, no. I was just having mineral water to start off with. I didn't know what kind of food you'd like, so I chose to order nothing else yet." Taehyung answered with a polite, but still sincere expression on his face. "I hope that it's fine that I waited for your arrival."

"Yes, of course it is." Seojoon gave him a small but genuine smile in response before reaching out and placing his hands near the plate, continuing to speak. "I'm a bit of a picky eater, so I don't like to eat too much, and I try to eat healthy foods.

People who eat too much and don't care about their bodies are putting themselves at risk for all kinds of diseases."

"Hm. I see." Taehyung wasn't really sure what to say to that, as he had never really paid much attention to what he was having for his meals before.

His appetite has always been unlimited unless he was too nervous or stressed out to digest anything.

“I’m sorry. This isn’t the best way to start our conversations. How would it be if we talk about you first?” Seojoon requested as he put his full attention on Taehyung again.

“I've read so many things about you in the resume, but there are surely some things that you can tell me in a more detailed way now that we can see each other in person.”

“I'm not sure what you want to know, but I can tell you things about myself to help you in getting to know the real Kim Taehyung.” The younger smiled while starting to get control over his nerves and thoughts, since his date with the model had a good start in his opinion.

They started to talk about the things that were on their resumes, asking questions about their experiences in different matters. They began to feel comfortable around each other and to fully enjoy each other’s company.

They were having a fantastic time until something caught Taehyung’s eyes at the other table not far from them. There was no way that he could just ignore the sight since they were his favorite fruit, and all of them were dipped in chocolate in the most appetizing way possible.

Author's Note: Hi everyone! I hope that you liked it. Let me know your thoughts on it.

P.S. I added a few not very important characters (TXT, Seoojoon) but they won't appear much in the au so they don't really need to be introduced.
