Your back felt a sudden relief as you finally laid down in bed. It had been a long day. A very long day. A new patient took up almost all you time. Taehyung Kim. He was being charged with robbery and murder, and his lawyer had hired you to potentially give him a diagnosis that could help him in court.

You had to assign some of your other patients to a few of your coworkers, just to make time for him. But this is what you love doing. You wanted to help. Especially now, after what you learned about your entire career. You wanted to prove yourself. You knew you were good.

You turned off you lights and put your phone on the nightstand. Finally you were in the comfort of your own bed. Ready to fall asleep and dream the night away. Trying not to think about how early you had to wake up tomorrow. You had finally found a comfortable sleeping position after squirming around a bit. You felt all your muscles relax, starting to recognise the slow fade of sleep.

But suddenly a loud noice filled the room. Your body tensed again, jumping at the sudden sound. You rolled your eyes as you turned around, annoyed at yourself that you forgot to turn on ‘do not disturb’. Your phone screen lit up in your face, you squinted at the bright light hitting your eyes. You managed to decipher a message from an unknown number. You didn’t open it, writing a mental note to check it out tomorrow. If it was one of your patients they would have to wait until the morning. It was almost unprofessional to answer a text at 1 am.

You entered the doors to your workplace, expecting to see Erin behind the counter smiling at you.

“Good morning, Erin.”

You said like you always do. You halted once you saw her sitting there, not smiling, not saying anything. She just looked at you with a concerning look. Before you could ask her what’s wrong you looked over at the waiting chairs. You had seen a person in your peripheral view, something that was odd considering the office wasn’t even open to patients yet. You quickly understood what was going on once you saw who was sitting there.

“Good morning, Doctor.”

His familiar voice filled the dead quiet room. It had almost been a year since you last saw him. He had not contacted you after the incident in your office. You had almost, almost, forgotten him. But there he was, looking the exact same as you remembered him.

“Mr. Jeon.”

You stated. Not really knowing what to say. You were caught off guard by the whole situation. Some naive part of you thought that he had gotten what he wanted and would leave you alone. Forever.

“I thought you had stopped calling me that. Aren’t we more intimate at this point?”

You sighed at his question. Looking over at Erin for a second to see if she understood what he meant.

“He said he wanted to see you. I told him we wer-“

“It’s fine Erin, Mr. Jeon can be quite persuasive.”

You interrupted her as she started to apologise for letting him in. You looked back to him. His classic smirk was plastered on his face.

“I have an hour before my first patient arrives.”

You said and looked quickly at your wristwatch, before starting to walk down the hall towards your office. You heard his footsteps following behind you.

Once inside your office you took off your jacket and hung it up before sitting down behind your desk. He was quick to sit down on the sofa. A sense of deja vu washed over you.

“Why are you here, Jungkook?”

He looked confused by your question.

“You didn’t see my messages? Or my voicemails?”

It was your turn to look confused, as you couldn’t remember getting any texts or calls from him.

“Maybe you were asleep, I don’t know.”

He shrugged. You remembered the message from last night. The one you didn’t bother to read. You picked your phone up from your bag, turning off ‘do not disturb’. Hundreds of notifications from the same number appeared on your lock screen.

“You were the one that messaged me last night?”

You asked as you opened your phone.

“So you did read them?”

He asked in excitement. You shook your head at his question, too focused on your phone. You opened iMessage and hit the top notification. A series of long paragraphs of text appeared.

“I didn’t think it was you.”

You mumbled as you scrolled upwards trying to get to the start of what he had sent you.

“Listen, I’ll just tell you. It feels weird to watch you read something I poured my heart into.”

You looked up at him, before you put the phone down on your desk. Crossing your arms over your chest.

“Be quick.”

He thought for a second about where to start and what the most important things to tell you were.

“I just wanted to tell you that I’m ready now.”

The room went quiet as you waited for him to continue. He didn’t.

“What are you talking about?”

You asked confused.

“That’s the brief version of it. You told me to be quick.”

You rolled your eyes at him.

“I think I need a little more than that.”

He smiled at you like a child telling a joke for the first time. He leaned slightly forward, resting his elbows on his knees.

“I’ve seen another psychologist. He’s helped me a lot. I’m doing well, I’m not some self absorbed dick, I’m not so angry anymore. And I’ve gotten to know your father as well. I’ve done my end of the promise, now it’s your turn, y/n.”

He got serious at the last sentence. Shifting his eyes from the innocent doe, to the man you remembered from your last meeting.

“You went to my father?”

You asked in shock, not caring for whatever he said after that.

“Yeah. Might as well get to know my future father-in-law a little better while I fulfilled my promise.”

You let your head fall down to your hands, and let out a long sigh. Visibly showing him that you were upset.

“I’m happy you’re doing better, I really am. But I did not promise you anything. Definitely not to marry you.”

His eyes changed again. You could tell he was upset.

“Don’t you think you owe me that?”

He asked slyly, cocking his head slightly to the side. You shook your head.

“You can’t hold that over my head forever. It’s not fair!”

You answered strictly.

“I’m not holding it over your head, baby. I’m asking you.”

“Well, then my answer is no. I don’t owe you shit. Now get out of my office.”

You answered quickly. Wanting him to leave so you didn’t get too upset, and started making bad decisions again.

“We don’t have to get married right away, or not at all if you just want to be my girlfriend.”

He offered. You suddenly stood up from your chair, pointing angrily towards the door.

“Out.”

You said.

“I don’t care if I owe you. I don’t care if you’ve gotten better. You’re still a mobster, you’re still a murderer and you’re still a sociopath. I could never date you. I could never even be friends with you. Don’t you understand?”

You ranted when he didn’t leave the sofa. He shook his head and kept his eyes on the floor.

“It’s him isn’t it?”

He asked, still not looking up at you. He was frightening like that. You felt the same fear, you felt the first time he talked to you like that. He was showing his true colours.

“Who?”

You asked carefully as you sat back down again. He looked up at you with anger and jealousy in his eyes.

“Your new patient. The jailbird, you spend a lot of time with him.”

You rolled your eyes.

“Yes, and? He’s nothing but my patient.”

“Are you sure? I’ve seen him on the news, he’s quite attractive. Just your type.”

You scoffed and gave him an offended look.

“Yes I’m sure. Who are you to accuse me of having an affair with a patient?”

“Because you had one with me.”

You sighed.

“We did not have an affair.”

You stated, not daring to look him in the eyes.

“Then what do you call it?”

The room got quiet. To be honest you never thought about what you would call it. You didn’t want to think about it at all. It went against everything you stood for.

“Please, just leave.”

You said, you felt your eyes getting watery for some reason. Maybe it was because you were scared, or surprised. Or maybe even sad to see him again.

“I can tell you’re upset. We still need to work things out. Can we talk sometime? Not here, somewhere not so formal.”

You looked up at him again. His eyes were soft, he seemed to really care that you were affected negatively by this. For some reason you found it endearing.

“You can come to my place, we can talk and-“

“There’s no way I’m voluntarily going to your place.”

You interrupted him. He looked down in defeat for a few seconds.

“Please, y/n. I just want to show you that I’m better. I want to show you all I’ve done for you. I don’t want to argue with you.”

He said softly. His eyes were also teary now. You hated yourself for getting affected by his feelings. You hated that you thought this was a tender moment.

“Do you promise that we’ll only be talking?”

You asked. Not knowing why you were agreeing to this in the first place. Maybe you were naive, but it seemed that he actually had changed. Even if he still was delusional and obsessive.

“Of course, I would never do anything to harm you. I love you.”

He said, slightly excited. The room got quiet once again. You had silently agreed to meet him at his place.

“I’ll send you the address. I’ll see you on Thursday.”

He said, before getting up and walking out the door.

“Wait-“

You tried to say, but he was already gone. You wouldn’t be able to make it on Thursday.

You sat down at the table, waiting for the guards to bring in Mr. Kim. This week had been stressful. Not only because of your case with Mr. Kim, but also because of all your other patients. It was hard having time for them while handling such a big case as his. You had to work overtime the entire week, and you were exhausted.

“Good afternoon, y/n.”

He said as two guards brought him in. He had learned your first name quickly, and refused to use your title or last name.

“Hello, Mr. Kim. How are you?”

He smiled, and waited to answer until the guards had chained his legs to the table and left the room. You never felt unsafe being alone with him, even if he was a convicted murderer. His hands were always handcuffed, the same with his legs, so he couldn’t reach you. You knew the guards watched you from outside the big tinted glass. It allowed you to lower your guard, and treat him like you treat your other patients.

“I’m doing amazing now that you’re here.”

He said and smirked. Like Jungkook said, he was attractive. His hair was always combed back, and the all grey clothing actually suited him. He had some kind of lightning tattoo that went up his neck, due to his clothing you didn’t know if he had any more of them.

“How are you, sweetheart?”

He asked back. Still keeping intense eye contact with you.

“We did talk about not calling me anything but my name, do you remember that?”

You asked him strictly. He chuckled.

“It’s hard not to call you something you are, don’t you like compliments?”

You started taking off your coat. It was cold when you entered, but with two people in the little room it was too warm to keep your wool coat on.

“We’re not here to talk about me. I’ve given you permission to use my first name, that’s all.”

You said as you draped the coat over your chair. You looked back at him, he wasn’t looking you in your eyes anymore. This time his eyes were focused on your exposed cleavage. You hadn’t worn low cut tops with him yet, only oversized jumpers due to the weather. You suddenly became very aware of yourself and pulled your top up, trying to hide more of your cleavage. His eyes went back to your face, and you decided that you would wear something less revealing next time.

“Whatever you say, y/n.”

He put extra pressure on your name this time. You gave him a small smile, before you looked down at your notes.

“Why don’t we start were we ended things? Do you remember what I told you I wanted us to talk about?”

He sighed, but nodded.

“My teenage years?”

He asked. You nodded back at him.

“I was a good teenager, I didn’t do drugs, I came home before my curfew, did well in school.”

He memorised.

“But I did like girls. I really did. It was my weakness.”

He said, quickly flickering his eyes down to your cleavage again.

“Why do you say it was your weakness?”

You asked, writing it down in your notes. He started smirking again.

“Since I was such a good teenager, I stayed home a lot. After I did my homework or studied for tests I didn’t have anything to do. Until I found porn.”

He let out a groan, almost like he was in pleasure just by the thought.

“I would spend all day just jerking off to random girls online. Whenever I saw a pretty girl outside I would go straight home and jerk off to her too.”

You felt yourself getting a bit uncomfortable at his bluntness, but didn’t say anything to let him continue. You focused on your notes instead.

“It would take up my entire day, I felt crazy at times. And now that I don’t have anything to do, I find myself doing the same in my cell.”

You nodded, still looking down at your notes. Not wanting to look at him while he talked about something so intimate.

“But the only one I can think about is you.”

He said almost as if he was out of breath. You finally looked at him. And saw that one of his hands had slid under the waistband of his trousers.

“Come over here and sit on me, baby.”

He moaned. You didn’t know what to do or say, you froze. The door opened and two guards came in.

“No- please! Y/n! Please fuck me! I need you. I fucking need you so bad!”

He yelled as he was practically carried out of the room. You sat there speechless, in the now empty room.

“I think it’s best for him to have a male psychologist, I can no longer treat him.”

You called Mr. Kim’s lawyer the minute you sat down in your car. You told him what had happened.

“I’m sorry this happened to you.”

He said back.

“I’ll send all my notes to the man you’ll appoint.”

“Thank you for your help, Dr. Y/l/n.”

You said a small goodbye, before you hung up. While you were driving home you started to think about what happened today. You felt useless and it felt unfair. Why did you have to end up in all kinds of mess. First it was Jungkook, and now Mr. Kim.

Jungkook. You had completely forgot that you were supposed to meet him today. You sighed. Meeting him was the last thing you wanted to do. Maybe it was better to just say you forgot if he contacts you again. Since your session ended earlier than expected, you would actually have time to eat a proper meal and go to bed at a reasonable time. And with Mr. Kim’s case being transferred to someone else, you could finally use all your time on your normal patients. Even if the day had been horrible, you still had a massive weight lifted off your shoulders.

You walked up to your door, struggling with your keys to find the right one. Once you found it you put it in the keyhole and twisted, hearing the familiar click. You reached for the door handle and attempted to open it. But it didn’t budge. Did you not lock your door this morning? You twisted the key the other way again, and thought that it must be the exhaustion taking a toll on you.

When you finally were inside your own house you took off your coat and hung it up with your bag. You took off your shoes and looked at yourself in the big mirror you have in your hallway. You looked down at the white low cut top. It wasn’t even that low, but a part of your cleavage did show. In what felt like a fit of rage you took it off yourself. Hurriedly lifting it over your head and throwing it on the floor. You never wanted to wear that top again. You stormed over to the kitchen. You needed something to drink, you were so thirsty. So thirsty that you failed to notice the man sitting in your sofa. You swung the fridge door open, grabbing a carton of orange juice and downing what was left of it.

“Rough day?”

A voice emitted. You jumped and your heart started raising. You looked over at the sofa where the voice came from. Jungkook? Jungkook. You quickly ducked down behind the counter, remembering that you were only in your bra.

“What the fuck are you doing in my house?!”

You yelled at him. You wanted to cry, you wanted to scream, you were so confused. What was going on?

“Y/n, calm down! Please.”

You heard him get up from the sofa, taking hasty steps towards you. Your fight or flight instinct kicked in and you suddenly jumped up again and grabbed a knife. Pointing it towards him. He quickly halted, putting his hands slightly up in front of him.

“Come on, it’s just me.”

He said, leaning his head to the side.

“Exactly!”

You said, slowly moving away from him.

“Why are you here? How did you get in?”

You yelled at him, firmly holding the knife between the two of you.

“Baby, please calm down.”

“How can I calm down?! You broke into my house!”

He sighed, and went quiet for a moment.

“Put the knife down, you know I won’t do anything to you. Please, let’s just talk. That’s why I’m here.”

He said in a calm voice. You shook your head, you felt like you were going to have a panic attack. This was all too much for you. You threw the knife onto the kitchen counter and covered your eyes. You started crying. You were so overwhelmed. From the situation earlier today, to Jungkook suddenly appearing in your life again, to just the pure exhaustion. You needed to cry. You couldn’t hold it back anymore. You couldn’t put up the facade you usually do. And suddenly you felt two arms wrapping around you. He hugged you. And for a moment you leaned into it. You felt safe in his arms. It comforted you. It reminded you of when your father hugged you after your first boyfriend broke up with you. It was like knowing that someone cared for you when you felt as if the whole world was against you. Until you remembered who was hugging you. Because it definitely wasn’t your father. And the reality of you standing in just your bra with someone that broke into your house hit.

“Get off of me!”

You suddenly screamed, and started pushing his strong chest. Tears still streaming down your face.

“I hate you! I fucking hate you, Jungkook! My life has been a nightmare since the minute I met you!”

You screamed at him with all your lung capacity. Your throat got immediately sore.

“You’re fucking crazy! And I’m tired of playing your fucking games!”

He took several steps away from you, but you walked after him. Pointing your finger in his face.

“I don’t know what’s wrong with you?! How can you be so fucking awful?! You’re an awful person!”

He continued to stay silent through your fit of rage. Letting you ride it out.

“I hate you.”

You said, calming down but still crying.

“I hate you so much.”

You said taking a deep breath. You wiped your tears. He didn’t say anything. He just stood there. Speechless. You adverted your eyes to the floor.

“Please leave. Can you please leave me alone? Please, just-“

You started, continuing to wipe your tears. You had resulted to begging him to leave your life.

“I can’t do this anymore, Jungkook. I can’t.”

He grabbed your chin softly, raising your head up to meat his eyes. He was also crying. He silently kissed you. And you let him, too exhausted to do anything else. He pecked your lips, before walking away. He left you there, all alone in your kitchen. As you heard the door close behind him you fell down to the floor. Continuing to weep.

After a month of silence from your former patient you felt content. It had been a month, and there was no sign of him. Your life had gone back to normal again. It was definitely a good thing to tell him exactly what you meant. This time you had been harsh on him, to make him understand you were definitely not interested.

After three months you started thinking that maybe you had been too harsh on him. Maybe you should’ve eased him out of your life. Not gone all crazy on him. But he didn’t contact you, and you were definitely not going to contact him. So telling him that you were sorry was out of the question.

On the fourth month you thought that maybe it wouldn’t be so bad to contact him. Just to tell him you were sorry for being mean of course. He was really attached to you in his own weird way. Getting rejected by someone you had planned out your entire life with must be hard. What if he had gone back to his old ways? What if your rejection caused him to live in agony? To fall into depression?

On the fifth month you found yourself standing in the lobby of his hotel. If you were going to apologise, you were going to do it in person. That’s way more genuine rather than over a text. You definitely didn’t want to see him again, but anything for a real heartfelt apology!

“I’d like to see Mr. Jeon, is he here?”

You asked before the receptionist could say anything. He smiled at you.

“Is Mr. Jeon expecting you?”

He asked in a costumer support voice. You shook your head.

“No he isn’t.”

You answered short.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t give you access to his suite if he’s not expecting you.”

You rolled your eyes. You knew you had to lie.

“He’s not expecting me, but I’m his psychologist, ok? I need to talk with him, it’s important.”

You said in your serious voice. Shoving your business card in his face like you were a cop.

“I’m sorry-“

“You will be sorry if you don’t help me out here.”

You hit your palms onto the counter before you. The man slightly jumped at your action.

“Look, I’m not asking for the fucking key to his nightstand, I just want to know his room number for gods sake!”

You were starting to get annoyed at the poor man just trying to do his job. He looked quite frightened at your outburst. He thought for a second, before he nodded.

“717.”

He simply said. You thanked him and hurried over to the elevator. Once you reached his door you stopped yourself. Was this really the right thing to do? Maybe you should just leave, he wasn’t your concern anymore. Why weren’t you happy he was out of your life? Why? Why? Why?! The door suddenly opened, and you were sucked out of your thoughts. A man stood there, a familiar man, but not Jungkook.

“Hello, sweetheart.”

He said with a smirk on his face. He quickly pulled you into a hug. Letting his hands drop dangerously low on your waist. He took a deep inhale of your hair, letting out a small groan. It gave you instantly chills in all the wrong places. You tried pulling away from the incredibly awkward hug, but his grip on you was tight. He decided when the hug ended, but stayed close to you. Resting his hands on your hips.

“Let go of me! What are you doing here?”

You asked him and tried to get som distance from him, pushing at his chest. But his strong grip on your hips didn’t loosen.

“What are you doing here is the real question. A pretty woman like you shouldn’t be in a hotel like this.”

“Get off of me!”

He smirked and leaned in closer to you again. Whispering in your ear.

“Why don’t you come with me to my room? I still can’t get you off my mind, sweetheart.”

Someone cleared their throat loudly next to you. Taehyung reacted immediately. Jungkook. You looked at him, but he didn’t look at you. His eyes were focused on Taehyungs hands, planted on your hips.

“She said ‘get off’.”

He almost growled. Taehyung smiled, but removed his hands. Putting them defensively up in the air.

“Sorry, boss. Just had to catch up with my psychologist. She’s the girl I told you about.”

Taehyung started. You were in shock. They knew each other?

“I know.”

He answered and looked at you for the first time. There was a sort of a melancholy feeling in his eyes.

“You know it all, man. I’ll just-“

“Leave.”

Jungkook finished his sentence for him.

“Yeah, leave. I’ll leave. Nice seeing you again, y/n. We have to meet up sometime.”

“That won’t be necessary.”

You answered quickly, not taking your eyes off Jungkook.

“I won’t take no for an answer, baby.”

Taehyung said and stepped closer to you again.

“Yes you will, now leave.”

Jungkook said strictly.

“Okaaay, I’ll leave. Whatever.”

He said and walked away. You followed Taehyung with your eyes, watching as he disappeared into one of the rooms down the hall. When you looked back at Jungkook, you discovered he had been staring at you the entire time. You felt anger building up inside you.

“Don’t tell me this is what I think it is.”

You said, you almost sounded hurt.

“It’s not like that.”

He answered. You rolled your eyes at him. He didn’t exactly sound convincing. You had no intention of apologising to him anymore.

“Let me guess, you didn’t hire Mr. Kim to ruin my case so I could run back right into your arms? It was just a convenience that you were waiting for me when I came home, right?”

You asked in a sarcastic tone. He went quiet. You scoffed and turned to walk away. He grabbed your arm harshly so you couldn’t leave.

“I didn’t, I promise. Let me explain, please.

You sighed.

“Let me go.”

He shook his head.

“Y/n, just come-“

“Let me go.”

You interrupted him. After a few seconds he listened to you, and let go of your arm. You stood still, contemplating if you should leave for good this time. Instead, you slipped passed him into his room. His suite was huge, it was more like an apartment really. Modern with expensive furniture and paintings scattered around the room. He had a lot of money, you knew that, but you didn’t know it was to this extent.

“You better explain-“

You were suddenly caught off guard by his strong arms turning you around and embracing you in a tight hug.

“You came back to me! I knew you would! Oh, I’m so happy to see you again, baby!”

He said in a boyish tone. It was a sharp contrast to his interaction with Taehyung. You weren’t able to immediately react, getting lost in the feeling of his arms wrapped around you once again.

“Stop it, Jungkook. I’m still angry with you.”

You said and wiggled out of his hug. He looked at you with hurt in his eyes as he saw you brushing off imaginary dust from your skirt.

“I understand. Sit, I’ll get you something to drink.”

He said and walked out of the room. You did as you were told, sitting down on his white cashmere sofa. He came back with two cups of tea, placing them carefully on the glass table before sitting down beside you. You didn’t say anything, you waited for him to say the first word.

“Just uh- please just listen to me ok?”

He asked and looked at you. You nodded.

“I didn’t exactly plan this. Taehyung was stupid enough to get caught and ended up in prison. I told my lawyer to get you on his case. I knew a case like that would be amazing for your career.”

You shook your head disappointedly.

“I’ve told you I don’t want your help. Why-“

“Listen, y/n. Please just let me explain.”

You sighed and crossed your arms, but you stayed silent.

“Anyways, after a while he confessed to me that he was in love with you.”

You watched his entire body go stiff at his statement. He clenched his fists in jealousy.

“You know I’m willing to go lengths for you to succeed, baby. But- I had to stop him. I refuse to let him have you like that. Especially when we weren’t even talking to each other. So that night I sent you all those messages.”

He unclenched his hands and put his hand carefully on your knee.

“I knew he would do whatever I told him to, so I said if he got you out of the case I’d get him out of prison.”

“So you asked him to jerk off in front of me?”

Jungkooks face changed drastically. He did not seem pleased about the new piece of information you just gave him.

“He did that?”

He asked, his tone had changed from apologetic to dangerous. You nodded. His grip around your knee tightened. You put your hand over his, to show him that he was hurting you.

“I’m going to fucking kill him.”

He said looking you straight in the eye. Another set of chills ran down your back. You knew he meant it. It was not a loose threat.

“This isn’t about him, Jungkook. You pushed him do it. And then you broke into my house, expecting to be treated like some kind of hero.”

You pushed his hand off your knee. He started staring into the air. A million thoughts running through his head.

“I don’t understand how you can’t see that your behaviour is insane?”

You stated. He was still being quiet.

“You need to stop.”

You said a little calmer, trying to comfort him.

“I did.”

He said and looked at you.

“I did stop, because that’s what I thought you wanted. But now you were the one that came to me.”

He caught you off guard. It was your turn to be quiet this time.

“I’ll always do what’s best for you, because I love you, y/n. I don’t care how insane I sound or look to you. But why are you here if you think that of me?”

You looked away from him, knowing you had no rebuttal.

“You called me an awful person, you told me you hated me. And I can take it. But I can’t take another rejection from you! I just can’t!”

He raised his voice now. He was getting emotional.

“I’m sorry.”

You said so lightly it was almost a whisper. He stopped ranting and the room got quiet.

“That’s why I came here. To tell you that I’m sorry.”

You looked back to him again. His eyes were big and filled with so much love. You had never seen him like that before.

“I’m sorry I said I hated you, and that you’re crazy and an awful person. None of it true.”

He nodded slowly, not breaking eye contact with you. You became quiet again.

“Is that it?”

He asked carefully. You nodded, shifting awkwardly in the sofa.

“Yeah, I should probably leave.”

You said, taking his hint. Preparing to walk out and never seeing him again.

“No.”

He said, and shifted towards the end of the seat.

“No, not like that.”

He said in a hurry, and took ahold of you hands. You looked confused at him.

“I didn’t mean for you to leave. Don’t leave.”

He sounded almost desperate, clinging onto your hands. You nodded and gave him a short smile.

“What I meant to say is, is that the only reason you came here?”

You thought for a second. Was saying sorry the only reason you came? That’s at least what you told yourself. But at the same time you felt like you owed him more. You didn’t know what you felt. You had been an emotional wreck for months now.

“Yes.”

You answered. Trying to keep cool and not overthink the entire situation. You didn’t want to see him, you had to. Because you’re a good person. That’s all. That’s it. But it didn’t feel like it. It definitely didn’t feel like it. It felt like you longed to see him.

“You’re lying.”

You were ripped out of your thoughts by his statement. You shook your head defensively.

“No I’m not.”

“Yes you are.”

You opened your mouth to argue back, but he spoke first.

“If it was a clear ‘yes’ you wouldn’t have to think about it. I know you better than you think, y/n.”

He repositioned himself so he could look right at you.

“Come on, ask me anything about yourself and I’ll tell you.”

You looked briefly at your wristwatch.

“I don’t know, maybe I should leave.”

“Just give me a chance, y/n.”

He said.

“If I don’t get it right I’ll let you leave.”

You rolled your eyes playfully at him, but still turning more towards him, accepting his offer.

“What’s my mothers name?”

You asked. He gave you a knowing look.

“Come on, that’s easy. Give me something that isn’t on Google.”

You let out a small laugh.

“You didn’t say her name though.”

“Christina, now give me something good. Something deep.”

You smiled, but had to think for a second.

“When did I loose my virginity?”

His smile turned to a smirk.

“You were 16 at Mae’s birthday party. You were drinking, and her boyfriend August hit on you. He took you to her bed and fucked you right there. No wonder Mae isn’t your friend anymore. You’re a bitch.”

You couldn’t help but laugh at him. Deep down it was scary that he knew something so intimate in great detail, but for some reason you were having fun with his little game.

“Ok ok. But now it’s your turn, when did you loose your virginity?”

He let out a nervous laugh at your question.

“This quiz isn’t about me.”

He stated and pulled his hand through his hair. You tilted your head slightly downwards and looked at him through your lashes and with a pout.

“I think it’s only fair that I know your story, since you know mine so well.”

He smiled at you, but looked away for a few seconds. Contemplating if he should tell you or not. When you saw him shy away, you suddenly felt as if you were digging into something he wasn’t comfortable sharing.

“You don’t have to if you don’t want to.”

You said, and placed your hand on top of his. Your fun voice was toned down to your regular speech again.

“No, I’ll share it. No worries.”

He said and looked back to you. You nodded and turned completely towards him. Crossing your legs and resting your arm on the backrest of the sofa, ready to hear his story.

“My first time was around one and a half year ago, in your office, with the girl of my dreams.”

He said dead serious. You snickered at him, thinking he was joking. But he didn’t laugh.

“You can’t be serious.”

You stated, he nodded proudly.

“Why wouldn’t I be, like I said you’re my dream girl. Why would I waste my time on others when the only one I want is you?”

He asked rhetorically. You crossed your eyebrows in confusion.

“You’ve never had sex? Ever?”

You asked in shock. His image did not fit the virgin title whatsoever.

“Once. With you.”

You smiled, but shook your head in disbelief.

“You can’t be serious. You probably have girls throw themselves at you.”

His hand found your knee again. This time it was placed a little further up.

“The only one I want is you. I waited for you because I knew you would be worth it. Because I love you.”

He said in a low tone, slightly stroking the inside of your thigh. The two of you were close, so close that you were aware of the proximity. The tension in the air got thicker and thicker from the power of his last words. His face started moving slowly towards you, and you gave in. Meeting his lips. The kiss started slow, but he was quick to rush it. Grabbing your neck to deepen the kiss. You were suddenly overwhelmed by the reality of what you were doing, and pulled away.

“We can’t do this.”

You simply said. Focusing on your hands on your lap. His hand went to push a strand of your hair out of your face.

“Why?”

He didn’t sound angry or impatient. He sounded like he cared. It was so much different from the first time the two of you shared a moment like that. He had really changed, and that was the problem.

“I’m not your patient anymore, y/n. I don’t want anything from you.”

You looked up at him again, and he caressed your face in a loving matter.

“Except for you of course.”

His face got closer again, but this time you didn’t kiss him. You abruptly got up from the sofa, and opted for looking down at him instead. You took a deep breath.

“You’re not doing anything wrong by having sex with me. Again, I’m not your patient.”

He said a little bit louder, trying to calm you down.

“I can’t have sex with you because I’ll fall in love with you.”

You couldn’t believe those words came out of your mouth. You had been in denial this entire time, but you knew yourself. This would not end well. You couldn’t bare to fall in love with someone that would ruin your image and reputation. You just couldn’t. He looked at you like you were some kind of god. Like all his wishes were finally answered.

“Why is that a bad thing?”

He asked, you shook your head.

“I can’t let that happen, Jungkook. It’s going to ruin my career.”

You sat back down, leaning your elbows on your thighs and your head in your hands.

“I have done nothing but help your career. Why can’t you just trust me?”

He put his hand on your back, stroking you lightly. You looked at him again.

“Please, trust me y/n.”

Fuck it, you thought, before you caught him off guard with your forceful kiss. He was quick to get the memo, kissing you back with the same hastiness and lust. You found your way onto his lap without breaking the kiss. Once you were straddling him, you felt his already hard cock grinding against you. He was desperate for you. A muffled groan escaped his lips when your hand went down to remove his belt.

“Wait.”

He said as he pulled away from you. His cheeks were flushed and his lips were wet and plump.

“Let me taste you.”

It sounded more like a question than a statement. His whole aura was so different from the needy rough man you remembered from the last time.

“Please.”

You got off his lap, taking your top off slowly. Watching him as his face turned in awe of the sight of your tits. His eyes were only on you as you shimmied out of your skirt, letting it pool on the floor. You laid down on the sofa, spreading your legs for him. He quickly removed his shirt, before getting on his stomach. His hand ran slowly down your abdomen, before he reached your slit. He split your lips with the same hand, before he dove right into you. You could tell he was inexperienced, but the rapid use of tongue on your clit sent waves of pleasure throughout your body. You let out extra pound moans whenever he would hit a good spot, and luckily he was a quick learner.

Once he had the hang of it, his hand moved down to your vagina, pushing two fingers in. Your back arched at the speed of the overstimulation. Feeling your orgasm approach quicker than usual. You grabbed his hair, pushing him deeper into you, preparing for your release.

“Don’t stop, Jungkook! I’m close.”

He moaned by your words, the vibrations making you tip over the edge. Your legs closed in on him, locking him in place. As you rode out your high. Once you had calmed down, you let go of his hair. And his face popped up from between your legs. He climbed on top of you, kissing you passionately. You tasted yourself on his lips.

“God, you’re so fucking hot.”

He said in between kisses and moans.

“I almost came just from eating you out.”

He started fiddling with his belt, but you stopped him. Placing a hand on his chest carefully.

“Let me.”

You simply said, before he moved off you. He sat down again, and you crawled onto the floor. Seating yourself between his legs. You looked up at him as your hands slowly traveled up his thighs. He was even more flushed now, his hair sticking to his forehead. You could tell he was impatient. Flicking his eyes between your hands and your eyes.

“Please, y/n.”

He uttered with a heavy breath. You smirked up at him, finally reaching his belt. You took your time with it as well. Once it was open, he was quick to pull down his pants and underwear. Letting his cock spring free. You got on top of him again, slowly lowering yourself onto his cock. He jerked up the second he felt your pussy on him. His thick cock stretched your walls out, and a moan escaped both your lips.

“Just relax, I’ll take care of you this time.”

You said in a low voice, placing your hands on his shoulders. His hands went straight to your ass, giving your cheeks a tight squeeze. You kissed him gently before you started riding him. His head fell back in pleasure once you started your movements. Bouncing up and down his cock. His hands dug deeper into your skin. He filled you to the brim, and every bounce felt amazing.

“Fuck! I’m not- gonna last long.”

He moaned and looked back at you. You then leaned your hands backwards onto his thighs. Your head fell slightly back as you moaned at the new angle.

“Y/n, slow down!”

He moaned as his hands moved to your thighs. Trying halfheartedly to stop you. But you didn’t stop. And suddenly you felt him coming inside you. His hips lifted you up, as he released himself. And when you felt like he was finished you stopped. You rapped your hands around his shoulders as you fell onto his chest. The room got quiet, the only sound being your heavy breathing.

You weren’t able to think about the consequences of your actions at that point. You only felt satisfaction and lust. And maybe even love…

One night things get complicated at your house and he saves you, you don't want to be alone + online one bed 😈❤️‍🔥 THANKS FOR YOUR WRITING GOODDES✨

Hi honey!! I love this, needed some Hunt on this blog. And this prompt is so fun! Please enjoy the ✨iconic✨ one bed trope😈💜

Witch Hunt

Hunt Athalar x Reader

Warnings: smut below the cut, oral f!receiving, lightning usage in bed??, p in v sex, lil canon typical violence, minors dni

As one of the few Valbaran witches with seer abilities, Hypaxia asked you to come to Crescent City to aid her in an ongoing investigation. She was working with the 33rd Legion on the case, and you’d come to Lunathion to offer your help. 

On your first night, you were headed back to the studio apartment where you were staying when two large males jumped from the shadows. You tried to use your wind magic to fend them off, but it didn’t last long. One made a lunging sweep with a knife, making a long cut on your arm. You fell to your knees, head bowed as you accepted this was a fight you would not win. But rather than being met by another blade, you were met with the sounds of swords slashing, and a hand reaching out to you. 

You looked up to see a stunning angel with dark hair and grey wings, wiping sweat from his brow as he gave you a soft smile. “I’m with the 33rd. You can trust me, my name is Hunt.” You stared at the gorgeous male, tempted by the offer, but scarred by what just happened. Refusing his hand, you stood up and brushed the dirt off of your knees. “Well, Hunt, why did you just happen to be around when I was being attacked?”

He smirked at you with a mischievous glint in his eye that you knew would land you in trouble at some point. “I’m not on duty, but I heard the commotion and came to look into it. Luckily for you.” You scoffed, refusing to let him have the upper hand. After calling Hypaxia and alerting her of the situation, she informed you that she knew Hunt and would be working with the 33rd on assigning him to protect you. That was the opposite of what you hoped for. Waving goodbye to Hunt and hoping you could make it far enough away before he received his orders, you set off back towards where you were staying.

You sighed a breath of relief as you closed the door to the apartment behind you, thankful to be back safe and alone. Headed towards the kitchen for a drink, you turned the corner to find Hunt sitting at your breakfast table, looking smug while drinking a beer. “I hope you don’t mind that I helped myself, little witch. Thought I’d enjoy a drink since I’m stuck here for the foreseeable future.” He’d changed clothes since you saw him, now wearing a backwards sunball cap with a muscle tank that showed off his muscular arms. You swallowed, trying to maintain your composure as you grabbed a beer for yourself from the fridge. “Well, you can enjoy that beer now since you’ll be sleeping on the floor,” you said, nodding to the space beside the bed, the only spot in the tiny studio that such a large angel would fit. He let out a soft laugh, “yes, I figured that.” 

You took a shower, changing into a nightgown before slipping into the bed. As you closed your eyes to try to sleep, you couldn’t help but notice how Hunt’s beautiful wings were crumpled as he twisted and turned on the hard floor. You told yourself it was the decent thing to do, to invite him to sleep in the bed with you. Nudging him with your foot, you nodded. “Get up here,” you sighed, as you scooted over to make room for him. You didn’t account for his extremely large frame, however, or the fact that this beautiful angel was now shirtless in bed with you, his warm skin brushing against yours. “I’m sorry, I can move back to the floor if that’s more comfortable for you,” Hunt whispered, seemingly more nervous than you were.

You huffed, twisting in an attempt to get away from his warm body, instead accidentally brushing against something hard. You froze for a moment as he softly groaned, registering that Hunt was in your bed, and visibly aroused. “Fuck it,” you murmured, turning over to face him, cupping the angel’s face as you looked to him for consent. Hunt’s eyes frantically searched yours for any hesitation before grabbing the back of your neck, kissing you fiercely. You hooked a leg over his waist, pulling your hips against his, grinding against him as he moaned into your mouth, allowing you to slip your tongue inside. Your tongues battled for dominance as Hunt rolled you onto your back, kneading your breasts through your nightgown as you looped your other leg around his waist. 

Hunt pulled away, kissing down your body as his hands lifted your nightgown over your head, baring you to him. He kissed his way down your body, roughly spreading your legs as he wasted no time diving into your heat. He thrust his tongue into you, lapping at your wet folds before moving up to suck your clit while pressing his tongue against the bud. You felt a zap of electricity jolt through you, sending you over the edge with a scream as Hunt continued to work you through your orgasm before pulling back with a smug look.

Hooking your feet on his sweatpants, you pushed them down his legs, Hunt helping you as he kicked them off. You reached down to grab his length, and your eyes widened at the size of him. He was by far the biggest man you’d been with, and he looked at you like he knew that. “Just fuck me, angel,” you demanded, lining him up with your entrance. Hunt leaned down to kiss you as he slid halfway in. “I’ll give you some time to adjust. Wouldn’t want to hurt you, little witch.” You huffed out a breath. He was a stretch, but you wouldn’t give him the satisfaction. Using your wind control abilities, you pushed a gust of air against his back, causing him to sink all the way into you. You both let out loud moans at the feeling, Hunt resting his forehead against yours while you both adjusted. He slowly started thrusting into you, but you needed more. “Fuck me harder, please, Hunt,” you whispered, kissing his neck as you used your legs to meet his thrusts. “As you wish, little witch,” Hunt said before he lifted one of your legs over his shoulder, pounding into you at a relentless pace. You were writhing beneath him, a moaning mess as you neared your orgasm once again. 

Hunt could tell he was close too, bringing his thumb to rub circles against your clit as he continued his thrusts. He came with a loud groan, letting another little shock flow from his thumb to your clit, sending you over the edge again with him. You both panted for air, laughing at the situation as you laid next to each other. This would prove to be an interesting job, after all.

Edward Coristine, a 19-year-old engineer with Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) known as “Big Balls,” is now on staff at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), WIRED has confirmed. He is joined by another member of the DOGE team, 38-year-old software engineer Kyle Schutt, who is now also on the CISA staff, according to a government source.

CISA referred WIRED to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), of which it’s a component agency, when reached for comment. DHS did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

Coristine—briefly an intern for Musk’s brain-computer interface company, Neuralink, as WIRED has reported—has been working his way through numerous federal agencies and departments as a DOGE operative since January. He has been tracked at the General Services Administration (GSA), the Office of Personnel Management, the State Department, and FEMA. At State’s Bureau of Diplomatic Technology, he potentially had access to systems containing sensitive information about diplomats and many sources and spies around the world who provide the U.S. government with intelligence and expertise.

As the journalist Marisa Kabas was first to report, he has now moved to CISA, a division of DHS. He is listed in the staff directory as a senior advisor.

A second DOGE worker, Schutt, has also joined Coristine at CISA. Schutt has reportedly also been at the GSA. Prior to his work with DOGE, he worked on the launch of WinRed, a fundraising platform for Republicans that helped the party raise $1.8 billion during the 2024 election campaigns.

It’s not clear yet what level of access Coristine might have to data and networks at CISA, but the agency, which is responsible for the defense of civilian federal government networks and works closely with critical infrastructure owners around the country, stores a lot of sensitive and critical security information on its networks. This includes information about software vulnerabilities, breaches, and network risk assessments conducted for local and state election offices. Since 2018, CISA has helped state and local election offices around the country assess vulnerabilities in their networks and help secure them. CISA also works with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the National Security Agency to notify victims of breaches and process information about software vulnerabilities before the information becomes public.

Coristine, as WIRED has previously reported, worked briefly in 2022 for Path Network, a network monitoring firm known for hiring reformed blackhat hackers. According to security journalist Brian Krebs, an account once associated with him was also previously linked with a loosely-formed cybercriminal community known as The Com, whose members have been responsible for various hacking operations in the last few years, including the hack of numerous Snowflake accounts. Coristine has not been associated with the Snowflake breaches, but as WIRED has reported, an account that has been associated with him did appear to suggest the owner of the account was seeking help to conduct a Distributed Denial of Service attack—a criminal technique that involves launching extensive traffic at a domain to disable it and prevent legitimate traffic from reaching it. Krebs also reported that Path had fired Coristine for allegedly leaking internal company documents to a competitor.

The Washington Post reported last week that Coristine had been assigned to the DHS as a senior advisor, but didn’t indicate what part of the sprawling agency he had joined.

“What’s the point of fighting cybercrime if we’re just going to give access for government networks to people with cybercriminal gang affiliations?” says a cybersecurity researcher who tracks cybercriminal groups.

EIN Registration for Global Founders: How BizSimpl Global Empowers International Entrepreneurs

Starting a business in the U.S. as a non-resident entrepreneur is an exciting opportunity—but it comes with a maze of compliance requirements. One critical step in that journey is EIN Registration, which opens the doors to everything from banking and taxation to e-commerce and software sales.

BizSimpl Global is a global business formation platform that simplifies this essential task, making it easy for founders from around the world to obtain an Employer Identification Number (EIN) and launch their ventures in the U.S.

What Makes EIN Registration So Vital for International Founders?

While a U.S. address or citizenship isn’t required to own a U.S.-based company, you still need an EIN to:

Open a U.S. business bank account

Apply for Stripe, PayPal, or Amazon Seller accounts

File U.S. tax returns and meet federal compliance

Hire employees or work with contractors in the U.S.

Establish business credit with vendors and institutions

In short, EIN Registration is the first real proof that your business officially exists and is recognized by the U.S. government.

Unique Scenarios Where EIN Registration Is Required

Here are a few real-world cases where EIN Registration becomes mandatory:

Freelancers and creators who want to get paid through Stripe or PayPal in USD

Non-profit organizations applying for 501(c)(3) status

Amazon FBA sellers based in India, UAE, or Singapore needing a U.S. entity

Consultants working with U.S. corporations who require a W-9 form

Tech founders raising funds in the U.S. and forming a Delaware C-Corp

BizSimpl Global specializes in handling EIN Registration for all of these use cases—and more.

What Makes EIN Registration Complicated for Non-U.S. Residents?

EIN Registration seems straightforward—until you're applying from outside the United States. Non-residents often hit roadblocks like:

Inability to use the IRS online EIN portal (which requires a valid SSN or ITIN)

Rejections due to incomplete or incorrect Form SS-4

Lack of clear guidance or documentation from the IRS

Long processing times when submitting via fax or mail

Difficulty in communicating directly with the IRS

These hurdles can stall your U.S. operations by weeks or even months.

That’s where BizSimpl Global shines—removing all barriers and ensuring fast, accurate submission.

How BizSimpl Global Streamlines EIN Registration

Here’s how BizSimpl Global makes the process efficient, especially for global founders:

1. Digital Onboarding

No paperwork chaos. Just fill out a quick online questionnaire, and BizSimpl Global gathers everything needed to apply for your EIN—accurately and fast.

2. Preparation of Form SS-4

Form SS-4 is your EIN application. Our experts ensure all fields—especially the responsible party section and business type—are filled correctly to avoid IRS rejections.

3. Direct IRS Filing

We submit your EIN application via fax directly to the IRS and monitor its progress. You won’t have to make international calls or chase responses.

4. EIN Delivery + Digital Copy

Once the IRS assigns your EIN, we share the official IRS EIN confirmation letter (Form CP 575) securely with you. This document is required by banks and payment platforms.

5. Support Beyond EIN Registration

BizSimpl Global offers more than EINs. We help with:

Incorporation in Delaware, Wyoming, or other U.S. states

Global company formation in 25+ countries

Business address and registered agent services

Tax ID assistance in the UK, Canada, and UAE

U.S. banking and compliance solutions

When Should You Apply for EIN Registration?

The best time to apply for an EIN is immediately after forming your U.S. company. In fact, most service providers (banks, Stripe, marketplaces) require EIN details to even begin the onboarding process.

Here’s a simple timeline:

Day 1–2: Apply for EIN with BizSimpl Global

Day 7–10: Receive EIN and IRS confirmation

My Honest Review of DGmark Institute – The Best Place to Learn Digital Marketing

Choosing the right institute to start your digital marketing career can be confusing. With so many online and offline options promising job placements and certifications, I wanted something practical, reliable, and industry-recognized. That’s when I discovered DGmark Institute, a top-rated provider of a digital marketing course in Mumbai. This blog is my personal and honest review, based entirely on my real experience

Why I Chose DGmark Institute

DGmark Institute stands out for many reasons. Firstly, it is not just a training center—it’s backed by a real digital marketing agency called DGmark Agency, founded by Mr. Chandan Thakur. This means the curriculum is not just theoretical but based on real-time client work and latest industry demands. DGmark is among the very few institutes that offer 100% practical classroom training, and that too at a very affordable fee.

Most other courses I found were either fully online or too basic. DGmark offered an advanced, structured course delivered offline at multiple centers across Mumbai.

Course Structure & Modules

The digital marketing course at DGmark Institute covers every essential module in detail:

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Google Ads (Search, Display, Video, Performance Max)

Meta & Instagram Ads

Social Media Marketing & Content Strategy

Website Development using WordPress

Email Marketing & Lead Generation

YouTube Marketing & Video SEO

Canva Graphic Design

Marketing Automation & CRM Tools

Introduction to AI tools (ChatGPT, Canva AI, Copy.ai)

My Classroom Experience

The classrooms are vibrant and interactive. Trainers don’t just lecture—they mentor. You work on live projects, case studies, and real business accounts. Whether it was running ads, auditing websites, or writing content for SEO, every topic included step-by-step practice.

Internship & Job Placement

After completing the 4-month certification course, students are offered a 3-month internship with a real agency or brand. I was placed in a digital agency in Mumbai where I managed social media and ad accounts.

During my internship:

I earned a monthly stipend of ₹8,000

I handled real client ads on Google and Meta

I created reports, optimized campaigns, and joined team meetings

Later, I was hired full-time as a Digital Marketing Executive at the same company. That’s how practical and job-focused the course is.

Freelancing & Business Opportunities

Many students from my batch didn’t take a job—they chose freelancing or helped grow their family business using digital skills.

One of my classmates started a freelance Instagram marketing service for salons. Another helped her brother’s clothing store rank on Google Maps and increase footfall.

DGmark Institute gives you the confidence to start your own thing—not just apply for jobs.

Location Advantage

DGmark Institute has 4 centers in Mumbai: Andheri, Goregaon, Borivali, and Mira Road. All are near stations and metro connectivity.

Batch timings are flexible—morning, afternoon, and evening—perfect for students, housewives, and working professionals. Each center has expert trainers and identical practical curriculum.

Why Digital Marketing?

Full-time jobs

Freelance projects

Entrepreneurship

Passive income (blogging, affiliate, YouTube)

How to Add User to Google My Business?

Managing a business online requires collaboration, especially when it comes to local SEO and visibility. Whether you're a business owner, a marketing manager, or working with a Google Analytics consultant, you may need to grant access to others to help manage your Google My Business (now called Google Business Profile). In this blog, we’ll walk you through the steps on how to add user to Google My Business and explain why this is important for your digital growth.

Why Add Users to Google My Business?

Your Google Business Profile is a vital touchpoint for customers searching for your services. Keeping your information updated, responding to reviews, posting updates, and tracking performance are key actions that often require a team. By adding users, you can:

Delegate tasks efficiently

Maintain account security without sharing your login

Collaborate with digital marketers or Google Analytics consulting services

Assign different roles with defined access levels

Steps on How to Add User to Google My Business

Here’s a simple step-by-step guide on how to add a user to your Google My Business account:

1. Sign in to Your Google Business Profile

Go to Google Business Profile Manager and log in with the account that owns or manages the business.

2. Select the Business You Want to Manage

If you manage multiple profiles, choose the one you want to add users to.

3. Go to the Menu and Click on "Users"

Once inside your business dashboard, look for the “Users” option on the left-hand side panel.

4. Click the “Add Users” Icon

In the top right corner of the “Users” page, click the icon of a person with a plus sign (+).

5. Enter the User’s Email Address

Add the email address of the person you want to give access to. Make sure it’s a valid Google account.

6. Choose a Role

You can assign one of the following roles:

Primary Owner (only transferable by the current owner)

Owner – Full access except for removing the primary owner

Manager – Can edit the profile, but not manage users

Site Manager – Limited access to manage locations (ideal for agencies or part-time help)

7. Click “Invite”

Once you've selected a role, click “Invite.” The user will get an email to accept the invitation.

Best Practices When Adding Users

Always assign roles based on trust and necessity. If you're hiring a Google Analytics consultant, for example, it’s typically best to assign them the Manager role to enable performance tracking and insights.

Audit your user list regularly to remove old or inactive users.

Pair user access with reporting tools like Google Analytics to track traffic and conversions, especially if you're investing in Google Analytics consulting services.

How a Google Analytics Consultant Can Help

While managing your Google Business Profile, it’s essential to monitor how your local listings are performing. A Google Analytics consultant can help you integrate insights from Google Analytics with your business profile metrics. They analyze:

Click-through rates from Google Maps and Search

Conversion tracking from profile visits

Behavioral trends of local customers

Partnering with a consultant or subscribing to Google Analytics consulting services ensures your business decisions are data-driven and optimized for growth.

Final Thoughts

Knowing how to add user to Google My Business is a foundational step for efficient business management and digital marketing collaboration. Whether you’re working with internal staff or outsourcing to professionals offering Google Analytics consulting services, user roles help streamline access without compromising security.

By empowering your team or trusted consultants, you ensure your business stays updated, responsive, and visible in the local search landscape.

The more collaborative your relationship, the quicker your business can adapt to the dynamic online landscape.

How to Get Your EIN in 5 Minutes | Quick IRS Guide

Key Takeaways

An EIN is a unique nine-digit number that the IRS issues. It’s absolutely necessary to operate almost any business in the United States, because it enables you to open business banking accounts, hire employees, and file your taxes.

Most U.S.-based businesses can quickly apply for an EIN online through the official IRS website, often receiving their number within minutes if all information is accurate and complete.

Before starting the application, gather key details such as your business’s legal name, mailing address, structure type, start date, and the responsible party’s SSN or ITIN to avoid delays.

Apply only on the IRS.gov website. This protects your sensitive information and stops third-party scams or unofficial websites from taking over your business identity.

Store your EIN and official confirmation letter in a safe place. You’ll need these documents all the time for legal and financial transactions, so don’t share them lightly.

It is easier than you think. The whole process can take just five minutes. Technical glitches, lack of relevant details, or outages on the IRS website can delay the process. Schedule your application during normal site hours and review your entries to prevent processing delays!

Step 1: Visit the IRS EIN online application on their official website. The EIN enables American businesses to pay taxes, open business bank accounts and hire employees.

The online EIN Assistant takes you through simple steps, and most applicants receive their number immediately upon completion. To apply online, you will need your legal business name, address, and social security number or ITIN.

This is the same process that’s used for new businesses, LLCs, corporations, and nonprofits. There is no application fee, and you receive your EIN in PDF form immediately upon completion.

The next sections show step-by-step how to use the IRS system, what to prep, and what to avoid for a smooth application.

What Exactly Is An EIN?

An Employer Identification Number, or EIN, is a unique nine-digit number that the IRS assigns to businesses. This number serves as a unique identifier for your business, much like a Social Security Number (SSN) does for people. Unlike an SSN, it is only for business purposes.

The IRS uses the EIN to track tax liabilities for all types of business entities. This covers LLCs, partnerships, corporations, and sometimes trusts or estates. You may see it called a Federal Tax Identification Number (FTIN) in some areas. In other cases, it is referred to as a Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN).

The EIN is used all over the business realm. If you hire workers, set up a pension plan, or open a business bank account, you usually need this number. Even a one-person business or a single-member LLC would generally require an EIN.

This requirement largely hinges on your tax preferences or wish to protect your SSN. There are no age limits or size requirements to obtain an EIN. No matter how large or small the business, any company can apply. This versatility makes it convenient for both emerging startups and established companies.

Unlike an SSN, which is all about one person, an EIN is more about a business or legal entity. This protects your personal data and helps ensure your business and personal data stay separate. If you operate an LLC, you will need an EIN to hire employees and file business taxes.

Make sure you aren’t using your own SSN for these scenarios. Though the IRS issues EINs primarily for tax purposes, banks and state licensing offices frequently require them as well.

You’ll obtain an EIN by providing some basic information about your business to the IRS. You can apply online, by phone, fax, or mail depending on your individual situation and location.

Why Your Business Needs An EIN

An Employers Identification Number (EIN) is essential for many businesses in the U.S. It serves as a unique tax identifier, similar to a social security number except for your business. With an EIN your business immediately has a firewall between your personal and business finances. This makes tax obligations, legal issues, and everyday banking much easier.

For anyone starting or running a business, knowing why an EIN matters can help avoid mix-ups and keep things running smooth.

Opening Business Bank Accounts

Banks need to know who they are dealing with. If you want to open a business bank account, most banks in the U.S. Will require your EIN immediately. It’s an important step in establishing that your business is legitimate and not just a side hustle.

Having an EIN allows you to establish a clear distinction between your personal finances and those of your business. This separation allows for better tracking of expenses, management of taxes, and eligibility for business loans. If you’re trying to get a business credit card or loan, the bank will usually run your EIN. Typically, they don’t look at your personal credit as a part of this process.

Hiring Your First Employee

If you’re going to hire employees, an EIN is required. The IRS uses your EIN for tracking purposes for employment taxes and payroll. In short, without this number, you can’t file payroll taxes or report employee wages.

This step isn’t simply a hoop to jump through—it’s required in order to comply with federal employment laws. If you don’t do this, you expose your business to penalties or criminal prosecution by the IRS, delaying your ability to hire.

Filing Specific Business Taxes

You need an EIN to file specific business taxes at the federal and state level, and even pay your business taxes online. The IRS uses it to monitor the health of your business and ensure you’re paying all that you should.

Without it, you won’t be able to file your returns or make your business tax deposits. It simplifies your annual tax preparation and ensures you avoid any penalties or interest. Not filing with an EIN may result in tax penalties or delays, which no business wants to deal with.

Operating as Corporation or Partnership

If you operate as a corporation or partnership, the IRS requires that you have an EIN. This isn’t only for tax purposes—it establishes an important fact: That your business is a legitimate, stand-alone entity.

The bottom line is that without an EIN, you won’t be able to execute contracts or take other necessary legal actions as a business entity. Plus, having an EIN indicates that you’re treating your business and its regulations with respect.

Certain Retirement Plans

If you plan on providing your employees with a retirement plan, you will need an EIN. This number is then used to report contributions made to the plan and to file applicable tax forms.

It simplifies the process of coordinating employee benefits and allows you to qualify for tax advantages linked with retirement plans. For instance, if you establish a 401(k), the IRS requires your EIN on each report you submit.

Can You Use the Online Method?

The IRS allows the majority of businesses to obtain an EIN through a simple online form. This method is fast, convenient and easily customizable to your small business. U.S. Business owners find that using the online method is the fastest route.

As a result, they usually fill it out in under 10 minutes. The IRS website takes you step by step through the whole process. After you finish it and all your info is verified, you’ll get your EIN instantly!

With access to the form from any device with internet, this is particularly convenient to people on-the-go or those who may have more demanding schedules.

Checking Your Eligibility First

The IRS requires your principal office, agency or place of residence to be located in the continental U.S. Or a U.S. Territory. You’ll need a TIN, or Taxpayer Identification Number—usually an SSN or ITIN.

Tip 1: Get your business information handy in advance—such as your legal business name and business structure. Being prepared with all necessary information ensures your application processing goes smoothly, without unnecessary delay or mistakes.

Principal Business in the U.S.

To be able to use the online method, your business needs to have a principal business presence in the U.S. If your principal place of business is located outside the U.S., the online method will not be available to you.

Non-U.S. Owners, such as Canadian or UK-based owners, must utilize alternative methods, such as calling the IRS. Having a principal business address in the U.S. Is a critical requirement for online approval and IRS registration.

Having a Valid TIN (SSN/ITIN)

A valid TIN is required. An SSN is used by U.S. Citizens. An ITIN is for non-citizens who have tax obligations in the U.S.

The IRS verifies the TIN with an error check, so be sure to avoid typos. Incorrect numbers can delay application processing or even lead to rejection.

Who Must Apply Differently?

Non-U.S. Residents, foreign firms, trusts, and foreign nonprofits will need to go through a different process that requires phone, mail, or fax forms.

These cases sometimes require additional documentation or information that isn’t addressed in the online application.

Gather Your Info Before Starting

Applying for an EIN through IRS is a quick process — it’s the groundwork that counts. If you have everything prepared, it reduces mistakes, saves time and allows you to avoid being stuck in a bottleneck. It takes less than five minutes to fill out our online application.

If you add any incomplete or inaccurate information, you’re forced to restart the entire application process. By gathering your info before you get started, you’ll be able to approach things with a sense of confidence and mastery over what’s to come. Folks claim with this step that it reduces the tension and helps to keep the ball rolling.

The time investment is well spent to ensure you get the specifics correct. Before you start, here’s a checklist of what you’ll need for the EIN application:

Responsible party’s full name and Social Security Number (SSN)/Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN)

Legal business name as registered with your state.

Business mailing address (where you want IRS mail sent)

Business structure type (sole proprietorship, LLC, S corporation, C corporation, partnership)

Business start date (month, day, and year)

Reason for applying for an EIN (e.g., started new business, hired employees, opened a bank account)

Keeping these readily accessible avoids stumbling on the back end of the process and allows you to identify any holes you may have. Locate that plan or confirm that fact before you start. Trust us, it’ll save you a lot of frustration down the line!

Errors or omissions on your application will lead the IRS to delay or deny your request. Reviewing every piece carefully is a great way to prevent a lot of back-and-forth with local or state government offices. Before going out, folks collect their materials in advance.

This ensures that they are prepared for the right questions and issues that they need to address on the form. It’s not unusual to require historical tax returns, 501c3 registration documents, or even a local business license. Occasionally, you’ll want to confirm specific elements with your state or local city offices to ensure all details are in agreement.

This action puts the information in your hands to make better decisions. You’ll know exactly which structure to choose for your business, and who should be held accountable.

Responsible Party Details (SSN/ITIN)

The IRS requires the responsible party’s SSN or ITIN for the application. This individual is often the principal business owner or top executive—the individual who has command over the money and property. For the overwhelming majority of small businesses, that’s going to be the founder or some other key officer.

The responsible party is not necessarily the person completing the form, but their information does need to be accurate. Responsible party SSN/ITIN is important to use. If the sequence number is incorrect, your application will likely be flagged for increased scrutiny.

This might delay everything or create doubts about your enterprise. Responsible Party details (SSN/ITIN) Select a responsible party that follows IRS requirements. This individual should have the decision-making authority to effectively represent that business.

For instance, if the LLC has two owners, the individual with the greatest degree of control over the firm must be included.

Exact Business Legal Name

The legal business name that you provide on your EIN application needs to be the same as the name used on your state registration or business license. Even minor discrepancies, such as a missing comma or a spelling variation, will result in an error. The IRS matches this name to state records, so it must be an exact match.

If you use a “doing business as” (DBA) name, don’t put that instead of your legal name. Exact Business Legal Name This is the legal business name as registered with your state. Applying with an incorrect name will result in delays, or in the worst case require you to submit a new application.

Using the same business name across the board will help ensure your federal and state filings are all in order.

Business Mailing Address

An accurate business mailing address must be on file for any IRS notice, correspondence, or tax form. This will be the address the IRS uses for anything official going forward. If you are a teleworker, you can use your home address.

Just make sure it’s a good address where you can receive communications without interruption. If your business mailing address is incorrect or not regularly monitored, you risk missing out on deadlines or critical information.

Select a Business Mailing Address where you are able to receive mail, for instance a PO Box or your work address. So be sure to keep an eye out for it! Mistakes in this area could result in missed opportunities to reply to the IRS, creating a snowball effect of issues.

Your Business Structure Type

You’ll have to choose what type of business structure you want on the EIN application. Possible options are sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, and limited liability company (LLC). Each one comes with different guidelines for taxation and how you need to report your income.

If you don’t know which one applies, look at your state formation paperwork or consult a tax professional. The type of business structure you choose determines how you will be taxed and the forms you will need to file.

To illustrate, a sole proprietor reports business income by including it with his or her individual income tax return whereas a corporation would file a corporate return. Choosing the incorrect one can lead to unpleasant tax surprises down the road. Your Business Structure Type Confirm this information before proceeding.

Business Start Date

Your business start date The application will require your business start date. This is the date your business first began performing work or prepared to perform work. Don’t fall prey to guesswork here—look it up in your books, such as your first bill, rental agreement, or service agreement.

The date you start your business is important for tax returns and due dates. If you accidentally enter the incorrect start date, you might risk not filing in time or incurring a late penalty payment.

It can screw up your business records in the future, making it impossible for you to track growth or sales, for instance.

Main Reason for Applying

You will have to indicate the reason you are requesting an EIN. Typical reasons include registering a new business, hiring new workers, converting your business type, or opening a new business bank account. Choose the option that works for you.

This response informs the IRS to guide the processing of your application. For instance, if you need to get an EIN so you can hire employees, that automatically sets off a series of other forms or information notices.

Being explicit on this front prevents ambiguity and reduces the likelihood of costly IRS questions down the road.

1. Go Straight to IRS.gov

Go Directly to IRS.gov Just go to the IRS’s website—irs.gov. The IRS is the only official place to get EINs from. When you use their online application, you protect yourself from scams and save money in application fees.

Other third-party websites may try to convince you that you need them to apply for an EIN—don’t fall for that. In truth, relying on these services may actually expose your sensitive information. On irs.gov, the search bar and the main menu both clearly direct you to the EIN section.

For instance, searching on “EIN” brings up the application link immediately in the search results. When in doubt, check to make sure it’s a real website—look for a “.gov” at the end of the URL. This guarantees that you’re on a secure government federal site.

2. Find the EIN Application Link

When you get to the IRS site, find “Apply for an Employer Identification Number (EIN) Online.” This link typically resides in the “Tools” or “Businesses” section of the IRS.gov site, frequently featured for easy to find.

The main application page is highlighted by a large red “Apply Online Now” button. Using the right form, that’s Form SS-4. The IRS will reject applications submitted on the wrong form or via an incorrect link.

Even experienced users may be confused by the often-cluttered layout of the IRS website. Don’t worry—the EIN section is very clearly marked, and IRS help articles offer helpful guidance if you require additional support.

3. Begin the Online Assistant

Opening the application link will begin the EIN online assistant. Think of this tool as your virtual tour guide, walking you through the process one question at a time. Once you’ve provided your business information, the assistant will walk you through.

So be prepared to verify and/or amend your responses before proceeding to the next step. The assistant’s guided, step-by-step flow makes it easy, even for first-timers to government forms. If you skip a required field, the system notifies you immediately, so you can correct it before moving on.

4. Choose Your Business Entity

The next step will prompt you to select what type of business entity you are—sole proprietor, partnership, corporation, LLC, or other. This decision is important for tax liability purposes as well as how the IRS treats your business.

A freelance writer, for example, would select “sole proprietorship” as their business structure. A tech startup with several founders would choose “partnership” or “corporation.” The application includes short descriptions for each type, which can assist you in choosing the correct one.

Choosing the incorrect one can result in headaches down the line like having to reapply for a new EIN.

5. Confirm Responsible Party Status

The IRS requires this information to ensure that they know who is ultimately responsible for the business in terms of tax obligations. The responsible party is the primary contact person and will ultimately receive the EIN.

This individual’s complete legal name and tax identification number (e.g., Social Security Number) need to be provided. The system verifies to ensure these pieces of information match IRS records. Errors made in this step can delay the application process or worse, result in future compliance problems.

If you include a business partner who can’t sign legally, the application may be denied. Alternatively, you might find yourself on the receiving end of a request for further documentation.

6. Enter Business Identification Details

Here, you’ll provide your business’s legal name, any trade names (“doing business as”), and the type of business. Triple check for typos—sometimes one mistyped character can hold up your EIN.

The IRS crosschecks this information with their records so it’s important that this data be accurate. For example, “ABC Widgets LLC” has to be exactly how you would list it on your business documents. Inaccurate or incomplete information may cause your application to be reviewed, which will delay the application process.

7. Provide Address and Date Info

Enter your business address and when you began or will begin doing business. The IRS will use this address for all later correspondence – make sure it is up to date and accurate!

If you’re changing your address, you’ll want to do this with the IRS as well. The date of establishment is primarily for IRS records, so this one’s easy — just tell the truth and align with your business’s real-world start date.

Submitting a tax return that doesn’t match your reported start date can trigger an inquiry from the IRS.

8. Answer Final Application Questions

Toward the end, you will need to answer detailed questions about your business. These are different depending on your entity type. You will likely be prompted to indicate if you intend to have employees.

Further, you may be asked questions about your business’s plans to file certain tax documents. Don’t rush through and answer questions—they should be based on your business’s actual future intentions. Leaving questions blank or providing incorrect responses may lead to issues with your EIN or on subsequent tax returns.

9. Select Online EIN Reception

The quickest method is to get it online immediately upon completing the application. You can choose fax or mail, but those are slower. The online way is easier, quicker, and safer.

Correct any errors, then hit submit and voila! Assuming there are no issues, your EIN will be displayed directly on the screen almost instantly. You’ll then be able to download your confirmation letter, which you can store for future reference.

Is "5 Minutes" Truly Realistic?

Sure, applying for an EIN for your new business in five minutes is appealing, but it isn’t that easy all the time. The online application through the IRS is quick, and many applicants complete it in less than five minutes. This is particularly true when they’ve got all of their ducks in a row and are well-versed with the process.

That said, it’s helpful to understand what causes delays and why the process isn’t fast for all applicants.

When It Works Like Clockwork

The five-minute mark isn’t an impossible dream. If you have your business name, address, Social Security Number, and legal structure, obtaining it can go really quickly. Be sure to jot them down ahead of time!

Those who’ve studied a bit or navigated the system in the past generally go through the process more quickly. The IRS online portal was clearly intended to be a speedy answer machine. When it works like clockwork it’s perfect — when it works.

As an example, a sole proprietor who has all of their documentation prepared can quickly move through the screens. Companies created more recently with boilerplate documents often face fewer hurdles.

Common Holdups to Expect

A delay occurs when something is lacking or ambiguous. Not all portal users have readily available access to all the information that your portal requires. Missing paperwork, simple typos, or choosing the wrong type of business entity can all add time to the process.

Sometimes the IRS system will request additional documentation, which can further extend the process. Other times, tech glitches or slow internet can be an irritating barrier. Understanding these common hangups prepares you to either plan for them or address them quickly.

IRS Website Hours and Downtime

The IRS EIN portal operates Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. To 10 p.m. Eastern Time. The IRS website goes down after hours and for maintenance regularly, and often on weekends or holidays.

If you attempt outside those hours you’ll need to wait. Unforeseen website issues or updates can similarly cut access, often with short notice. Avoid these frustrating experiences by planning your application during open hours.

What Happens After Submission?

Once you submit your EIN application through an online service like ExpressTaxID, the whole process goes quickly. As a note to most U.S.-based applicants, for most of you, the IRS system shows your new EIN immediately upon submitting. This immediate access allows you to jumpstart your new business without waiting weeks for forms to process.

If you applied for an EIN by mail or fax, it can take 4-6 weeks to receive your EIN. International applicants, or those applying via phone may experience a few days’ lag, especially based on the information you entered.

The prudent approach is to look for confirmation online as detailed on IRS.gov and look for confirmation via email or mail for any follow-up needed. Mistakes in your application will lead to processing delays. An unexpected misspelling of your business name could trigger additional information requests.

If you applied through the IRS, watch out in case the IRS contacts you to confirm. Timely response ensures your business development plans don’t miss a beat.

Immediate On-Screen EIN Display

Immediately after a successful online submission, your EIN will be displayed on the screen. This number is specific to your business and your individual identifier within the system. You’ll definitely want one for tax time, opening a bank account and working with vendors.

Just be sure to note it down or save it somewhere secure. Ensure that the number you entered corresponds with your business information.

Download Your Confirmation Letter (CP 575)

The IRS will provide you with a downloadable PDF version of the confirmation letter, CP 575. Download this letter immediately upon receipt. This letter serves as documentation that the IRS has issued your business an EIN.

Store it on your computer or in the cloud, as you would any critical piece of business paperwork.

Importance of Saving This Letter

You’ll need one to open a business bank account, apply for contracts, or for various state filings. Once you lose it, it can be quite the hassle to get it back, particularly if you require your EIN as proof.

It’s just good planning to have more than one original, for when you inevitably lose the first copy.

Protect Your New EIN Number

Obtaining an Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS is one of the first steps a business takes in the US. This nine-digit number is the IRS’s identifier for your organization and is required for federal tax filings. It is your business’s unique identifier that links your business to banks, suppliers, and the IRS.

Protecting your EIN is one of the best ways to prevent fraud and keep your business running smoothly. That doesn’t mean you should share it with everyone and anyone. Mishandling it can quickly open you up to dangerous situations such as identity theft or fraud. Here’s how to protect your new EIN number and when to use it.

Treat It Confidentially Always

Think of your EIN as you would your Social Security number. Sharing it with the wrong person can expose you to fraud. For instance, if a bad actor were to obtain your EIN, they might be able to create fraudulent tax returns or bank accounts under your business’s name.

Only staff or partners you trust should have access. Protect your files. Make sure to have them all stored in a digital secure folder and paper files locked up as well. Never trust an email or phone call requesting your EIN, even if it looks official.

Beware of Third-Party Scams

Scammers will often contact new EIN holders posing as banks, the IRS, or other vendors that require payment. They could send fraudulent emails or even phone you, requesting your EIN to “confirm” your business. Common scams involve fake tax-related notices or solicitations to “update” your business information.

If you get a request, the first thing to do is verify who the sender is. Next, reach out to the company through their official website or verified phone number. If you think something isn’t right, the IRS has resources available for reporting scams.

When to Share Your EIN

Share your EIN only when it’s needed, like opening a business bank account, applying for licenses, or dealing with the IRS. Sharing your number too liberally now can lead to trouble later, like identity theft or unauthorized accounts.

So be judicious and always inquire as to why a number is necessary. If someone hacks your EIN, you may need to get a new one. Just make sure you adhere to IRS rules to correct the error.

Conclusion

Getting an EIN for your business in the U.S. Takes about 5 minutes—far less time than it takes to order a pizza. Note that the IRS online tool goes quickly if you have all your information on hand. People typically complete the application in under five minutes. Unlike applying by mail or fax, you receive your number immediately. No wait, no fuss, no muss. Treat that number with the same kind of care that you treat your bank account information. You’ll need it to file taxes, open business accounts and hire employees. The process remains easy when you use the IRS guide. Having an easy setup process makes it feel easier starting a business in the States, baby steps and all. Need help or run into an issue?
