This is Seoul, everyone thinks that who so lives here has a bright future, a poor can turn into a successful person but everything has a price and the mirror which reflects the light is black from the other side same goes to Seoul.

So let’s take a look what’s happening on the bright side.
A large building looking expensive, it’s a convention Centre where a prestigious person is holding a conference about his new decision of opening a hospital. This good looking man is none other than our destruction god ‘Kim namjoon’ the coo of Kim industries who has recently become the richest businessman.
(Conversation at the Convention Center)
Journalist1: sir everyone knows you’re really good at business but why are you opening a hospital which is totally new to your field and what’s the profit in it.
Namjoon: I really like to welcome new experiences and about the profit thing the company you’re talking about which is so successful now is because of these people and this is a little return gift to express my gratitude towards them .
Journalist2: sir what’s so special about this hospital?
Namjoon: In this hospital, the doctors who are commonly consulted or in high demand are present in one place in sufficient numbers, making it distinct from other hospitals.
After an hour, a bodyguard approached Namjoon and said, 'Sir, it's time to go.' Namjoon nodded in response, bowed to everyone, and headed toward the exit. As he walked towards his car, he was blinded by the flashes of cameras. He sit in the car which was screaming class, he said to the driver “drive to home” and sighed while resting his head on the seat.
The driver said “OK SIR” in a very dramatic manner like a soldier commanding and this dramatic man is none other than our “kim taehyung”. Namjoon chuckled at the younger’s response but asked “why’re you here?" You should have been gone to pick up jimin, suga and hobi” with a frown.
“Sir I have already pick them up they’re resting in your house without you” tae responded while focusing on driving. Namjoon hummed in response and sighed again, tae sensed that Namjoon was confused in matters of the hospital decision taken by him.
Tae cleared his throat and said “Sir I know I’m handsome but no need to be shy from me you can ask me anything”. Namjoon asked “tae what’s the use of opening a hospital I don’t see any use of it”
“sir I think your memory is not remembering today’s mission, I have to fetch the gold from Mr. Lee because he’s planning to give all those to your rival group which is in U.S.A and that useless being has a record of your not so clean deeds .so think a rich person is opening a hospital for the needy that means he care about his people and sir you‘re that rich person now you’re in the positive lime light and even that person leaked those records who’s going to believe him" .
Namjoon mouth was hung gape upon seeing the younger’s intelligence. '‘You’re genius tae’' said with an amaze tone. '‘And don’t call me sir'’.
'‘Ok sir’' Tae replied in a tease tone.
Namjoon was about to scold him but tae said "we’re home hyung come on your husband is waiting'’ with that Tae ran from there to save his life .Namjoon chuckled getting out of the car ‘'this kid’'.
Tae entered the lavish mansion (owned by Namjoon) and was welcomed by a chiken hugging him tightly .This chiken is our pretty cute Jimin but there was a cat standing there astonished .This shocked cat is our savage cat ‘Min yoongi’ .
Tae flickered his figures in front of his eyes and said ‘'your day will also come'’ in a whisper tone yoongi gave him a cute glare tae bowed with a tease smile.
'‘Tae you came how is my little brother doing'’ the person came in the frame and hugged him, this is our hope and we’re his hope this is our ‘j hope’ tae bowed.
Suddenly someone screaming was heard ‘the food is getting cold and these two have not come till now’ .This is the mother figure of the group our WWH jin .he came in the drawing room with a spatula in his right hand .he saw tae after so many days so he run to him and hugged him and said '‘you have become so thin why don’t you eat properly huh’' jin said with a caring voice .
Namjoon was standing beside tae he said '‘no one loves me ,no one is for me’' ,said with a pout.
Jin said ‘'I love you but not more than my baby because of you he works so much’' all members laughed and jimin asked ‘'is junkook coming?'’
‘'jin hyung told me he had already called him'’ suga said, jin nodded in assuration and said with an excited tone '‘let’s call him now'’
'‘are you sure?’' hope said with uncertainty, but jin has already dialed his number and whispered enough to heard by everyone ‘it’s a prank call’
Then the phone was picked up by junkoook and a really cold voice, which send shivers to the spine he said ‘'hello’'
'‘what hello huh because of you I am so hurt right now you said you will come up till the morning but it’s going to be afternoon and there’s no trace of you I was waiting for you at the airport for literally 2 hours and after heading home I was about to get hit by a car'’ jin said in panic
‘'are you hurt a lot who told you to pick me up from the airport'’ jk said with his cold voice and jin smiled and said while laughing "it’s a prank it was a prank call just to tease you a bit I’m completely fine’'
jk was fuming in anger ‘'you guys don’t have work then don’t waste my time by these stupid tricks'’ jk said evidently showing his anger on the phone.
Namjoon snatched the phone from jin who was really feeling bad and go to his room quickly, Namjoon asked '‘Jungkook why’re you so late'’ as he was getting tensed ‘'my driver had to go home for personal reasons’’ jk said while being straightforward " okay then I’m sending my assistant to pick you up'’
Namjoon give a pleading look to taehyung at which tae nodded in assurement .jk think it will only profit him so he said yes to him and now tae is on the way to pick him up.
It was 3 PM, and Tae was standing in the airport. Namjoon had sent him JK’s photo, so now he was waiting for him. Then, a man came into the frame in all his glory, radiating coldness—it was none other than ‘the Jeon Jungkook.’
Tae saw him, approached him, and said, “Sir, I’m the driver sent by Mr. Kim.” JK nodded and walked ahead of him. Tae stood there, questioning this person’s behavior towards him.
Tae POV: Excuse me, what is this behavior? First of all, I came here early for his comfort and asked with such delicacy and respect as if I was performing some Shakespeare act. And this person—his audacity! He gave me the cold shoulder. I think I should break harder so that his shoulder breaks, but nevertheless, I pity you, huh? He scoffed and walked behind him.
Tae opened the door for JK, then took the driver's seat and started driving.
After a while, JK got a call from Namjoon.
JK picked up the call, and Namjoon said, “Kook, have you seated in the car? I had sent my assistant to pick you up.”
“Yeah, I’m seated, and a being is driving the car. He told you he sent him,” JK replied, giving another cold shoulder.
Now Tae had enough of the cold shoulder, so he said, “Sir, you can count me as a human because until now, no animal knows how to drive a car.” He said this sarcastically while remaining attentive to the road. JK stared at him as if he belonged to another planet.
Then Namjoon told JK to put the phone on speaker, and JK did so.
Namjoon said, “Tae, Jungkook has a meeting with Mr. Shin, the one with whom we’re collaborating to enter the automobile industry.”
Tae replied, “Okay, Hyung, I’ll drive him there safely.” Then Namjoon bid goodbye, and there was silence in the car.
Tae noticed JK staring at him.
Tae POV: How he was staring at me as if I belonged to another planet. But it’s true, I belong to heaven as I’m an angel.
Why the heck is he giving me the cold shoulder again and again? If he’s the Jeon Jungkook, then I’m also the Kim Taehyung.
I can make him late; I can ruin his mood by crashing the car into something or braking hard. But I won’t. I forgive you again this time because I pity you again.
Unknowingly, Tae was smirking all the time while lost in his intrusive thoughts.
JK asked Tae in his cold voice, “Why are you smirking?” Tae frowned and asked, “Me?” JK nodded.
Tae replied, “Nothing, sir, but when your meeting will end?”
“At 7, why?” JK asked.
“Because I have to go on a mission at 6, but its okay; I’ll go there at 5. It will be unexpected; it will be fun,” Tae laughed.
JK hummed in response.
JK POV: He changed his plan just to pick me up. Hmm, he’s a good assistant. If I were in his place, I would have left the job because it’s not my problem that my boss is indecisive.
Tae said, “Sir, we have reached,” and wished him a good day. JK hummed in response and got out of the car.
Author Pookie POV: On the other hand, there was a dark, small warehouse where only a few people were present, transferring large cartons into trucks.
A person wearing a black mask was making sure everything worked smoothly, with Mr. Lee standing in front of the masked man.
Mr. Lee said, “Today I’ll take that Kim down. What does he think—he’s the strongest? I’ll first transport all this gold in front of his eyes, then go to the U.S. and be the strongest, making him kneel. And his foolish assistant will come at 6. What will he find, huh?” (Laughing maniacally).
Masked man: “Your ashes.” (In a dark voice, making everyone kneel down)
But suddenly, he heard a shooting sound, and ten people were found lying on the ground, soaked in blood. The masked man caged Mr. Lee's body between their arms, holding a gun in one hand, shooting five more people. Only the drivers were left, doing nothing to save Mr. Lee.
Mr. Lee yelled, “You bastard! Help me!”
Masked man: “Our men.” (said in a murderous whisper)
Mr. Lee: “Who are you? I’m sure you’re one of Kim’s men, you motherfu—” But suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his knee. The masked man shot him in the knee, making him kneel.
Masked man: (his eyes darkening) “Don’t you dare complete that sentence.”
Mr. Lee: “Who are you?”
Masked man: “Your death.” (He dropped his mask, revealing deep blue eyes that looked really scary—it was ‘the Kim Taehyung.’)
He signalled the driver to go with the trucks loaded with gold. Mr. Lee screamed as if someone had stabbed him in his nerve, but he didn’t care. He took out a lighter from his pocket and said, “There’s so much trash in my pocket,” lit the lighter, and dropped it.
Suddenly, the whole place started to burn, and he walked out in all his glory. The screams were heard, but he walked as if there was nothing to care about.
Tae completed his mission, and it was 6:30, but suddenly he remembered something.
FLASHBACK: When JK was getting out of the car, he said, “Taehyung, come at 7 PM sharp to pick me up. I hate waiting for someone.”
Reality hit him hard, and he ran toward his car, which was parked 1 km away from the mission ground. Obviously, who wants to burn their own car with their own hands? He made his car fly, driving at 700 km per hour.
Author Pookie: DISCLAIMER: Do not ever try this speed while driving, or if you do, then with the same speed, you will reach heaven.
Now he was standing outside Mr. Shin’s Pvt Company. JK came outside and saw Tae, who was sweating like a river.
JK asked Tae, “Are you okay?” while getting into the car. Tae replied, “Yeah, I’m okay. I just came from the mission straight to you,” while getting into the driver’s seat and starting to drive.
JK asked, “How was the mission?”
“It was super and adventurous,” Tae replied. JK asked, “You seem to be close to Namjoon Hyung.”
Tae said, “Yes, I’ve been with him since he entered the business.”
JK hummed in response. He wanted to talk more, but he couldn’t find any words to speak, thanks to his cold demeanour.
But Tae asked, “Sir, can I say something?” in his deep, calm voice. His deep voice made Jungkook’s restlessness disappear, filling his heart with peace, allowing his mind to leave every thought just to focus on what he would say.
JK hummed in answer. Tae proceeded, “Sir, when you were talking to Jin Hyung and Namjoon Hyung, I was there. I wasn’t eavesdropping; it’s just that when Jin Hyung told you he was hurt, you asked why because you actually cared about him but didn’t show it. Even though you cared, your voice didn’t let it show.
I just want to say that if there’s something in your heart that you want to express, then express it. Because in this whole world, 90% of people want your downfall, another 9.99% don’t care about you at all, and the remaining 0.01%—who are barely left—love you, care about you, and feel your pain.
Don’t ignore those people.
They are more precious than any of the rarest diamonds. Taking care of them, loving them, and fulfilling their wishes gives you the satisfaction that makes you powerful from the inside.
I don’t want you to hold back anything because if you hold back everything, you will lose yourself. But if you let go of everything, you can hold onto yourself.”
Tae was saying all these words in his deep, calm voice, which was very soothing. He was shining in the moonlight, looking like an angel. Jungkook was continuously staring at him, and after some minutes, they reached the mansion. Tae said, “Sir, we’re home.”
Jungkook wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, Tae said, “Sir, everyone’s waiting for you. You go; I’ll come after you.”
JK hummed in response and went inside the mansion. The day he met Taehyung, he was sure a big change would come into his life.
Jk got inside the mansion and found Namjoon and Jin sitting at the dining table with hurt expressions but still smiling to welcome him.
Jk bowed to them with an expressionless face.
AUTHOR POOKIE POV: One thing about Jungkook was not matching his face with his eyes, which were showing how confused he was.
He wanted to say sorry to Jin but wasn’t able to.
Tae came in after a few minutes and saw Jin welcoming Jk with a smile. He asked, “Hyung, why are you still awake? You should rest.”
Jin replied, “Tae, Kook, go and freshen up quickly and come back for dinner. I’m completely fine; no need for rest.”
Tae hummed, and Jk was walking to his room while Tae followed him like a lost puppy.
But Jk stopped in front of a particular room, looked back at Tae, and said, “Are you planning to be a stalker?” while staring at him.
“No, why would I be a stalker or even stalk someone?” Tae replied in an amused tone.
“Because you’re following me throughout the house,” Jk said with a frown.
“Ooh, I thought I’d help you find your room,” Tae said, showing his doe eyes.
“I know my hyung’s house,” Jk replied.
“But you’re standing in front of Yoongi hyung’s room,” Tae said with a frown.
Jk said, “Because you were stalk—oh, I mean following me.”
“I wasn’t stalking or following you; I just thought I’d help you,” Tae said with a pout, looking really cute and innocent.
Jk hummed in response and said, “Thank you for the help,” with a poker face, but his eyes were expressing something else, like he wanted to stand there for few more minutes and admire the innocent baby face.
Tae got happy when Jk thanked him. He beamed a boxy smile and said, “Mention not! Come downstairs for dinner.” After saying that, Tae left for his room.
Jk entered his room and lay on the bed, feeling a little different, and closed his eyes.
The first thing he remembered was Tae, but he wasn’t accepting the fact that he was remembering him.
Suddenly, he recalled the incident that had happened a while ago.
He had said thanks for just a small thing; if someone else had done this for Jk, that person would have lost their job.
But when Tae did the same thing, he thanked him jokingly. Still, Jk felt a little sad for Jin and was in a dilemma about what to say to him.
He couldn’t see his hyung hurt, especially because of him. He sighed and thought to take a bath first and get ready for dinner.
AFTER 30 MINUTES
He got ready and was thinking about something when he suddenly heard a knock on the door. It was Tae.
Jk stared at him and asked, “What happened?”
Tae said, “Sir Jin hyung and Namjoon hyung are waiting for you.” Jk nodded and said, “You go ahead; I’ll come in a few seconds.” Tae nodded and left.
After a few minutes, Jk came towards the dining table and sat beside Namjoon.
Tae was going to serve, but Jin stopped him, saying, “You little being worked too much today, so let me serve.”
“I’m not a little being; I’m a full-fledged adult!” Tae said with a proud grin.
“Oh really? But it doesn’t seem like that,” Jin said sarcastically said while towering him (tae is 5’8 but he shorter than all the members except jimin as he’s the youngest).
Tae groaned in response, “Hyuunnngg!”
“Okay, okay, now sit and eat your food like a good boy.” Tae immediately sat down and ate his food quickly because it was really tasty.
“Slow down, boy,” Namjoon said.
“The food is sooo tasty; I can’t control myself!” Tae said while gulping down the whole soup in one go.
Jk smiled a little, which went unnoticed by everyone at the table.
After a while, Tae asked Jin, “Hyung, did you know Namjoon hyung has built a new hospital, and you’re the owner?”
“Oh, I know; I deserve it, but thank you,” Jin replied.
Tae giggled at the response and asked, “Aren’t you going on a date for that?”
“For what?” Namjoon asked.
“To celebrate! You know you should celebrate every little thing in life because it makes your inner child feel good, which eventually makes us feel good.”
Then Jin said "like you did when you win that free coupon of your favourite restaurant”
“it was one of my achievements” Tae replied Jk was listening to Tae’s words carefully and thinking deeply when suddenly Namjoon called Jk, breaking his chain of thoughts.
“Yes, hyung?” Jk asked.
Namjoon replied, “Tomorrow there’s a meeting at 9 in the morning at our secret base.”
“About what, hyung?” Jk asked with a frown.
Namjoon said, “There’s a certain person because of whom we’re facing losses, so it’s about that.
Jk hummed in response and started eating his food. It tasted like heaven, so he said, “The food is very good,” not in his cold tone but emotionlessly.
Jin and Namjoon looked at him, shocked, while Mr. Kim Taehyung got himself extra food and started devouring it (this boy’s life depends on food).
Jk looked at both of them and said, “What? I like the food, so I said it as I feel. And Jin hyung, can you please cook for me tomorrow as well?”
While eating, Namjoon’s mouth hung open in disbelief.
Tae said, “Hyung, close your mouth or a fly will steal you food.”
Namjoon closed his mouth and mumbled, “The great Jeon Jungkook compliments Jin’s food?
Lucky!” Jin heard and leaned close to Namjoon’s ear, saying, “I, Jin, worldwide handsome, deserve all the compliments in the world, okay? It’s the world that’s lucky to compliment me.”
Namjoon nodded, afraid his husband would make him sleep on the sofa.
“Sure, Kook, I’ll make it for you.”
After dinner, everyone went to their respective beds to sleep.
