"Boss." Whee-in calls.

"King." Lisa tries.

"Jeon." Namjoon tries as well.

"Hey stupid!" Jessica yelled.

Jungkook growled as he looked up at them.

"What?!" He barked.

"Why so stressed?" Yong-sun sighed.

"I'm not stressed what're you talking about?" Jungkook scoffed.

"You look like you're about to pull your hair out. What? Have you had no calls?" Yoongi laughs as he walks in.

"That's not it. In fact, I've gotten a lot of calls. And, fuck, yeah I'm stressed. All these calls and offers are literally great and they're all offering  huge amounts. But all these calls mean we're busy. Busy wasn't bad when I didn't have a four-year-old son who begs of my attention. This is at least 2 weeks of work that we all need to do." Jungkook grumbled as he stood up and ran his finger down the paper that had all the clients names and what they wanted

"Well you can stay and we-" Solar began before Jungkook raised his hand.

"I'm the boss, I can't let everyone go out and work while I stay back here. I'm not letting you out alone."

"King, we'll be okay." Byul-yi smiled.

Jungkook looked up at them.

"The more people working the better." Jungkook exhales as he eyes everyone.

Lisa walks to him and pats his shoulder.

"It's not just you anymore. You have a baby boy, King. You can't neglect him."

"I'm not." Jungkook looks her up and down, offended.

"You are." Byul-yi interjects.

"What are you guys talking about?" Jungkook quickly laughed.

"When your child wanted to play with you, you barely even played. You half-assed it then just stopped playing. Sure he knows you love him, but he's the only child here. He's going to feel lonely and neglected eventually." Namjoon sighed.

Jungkook was quiet as he slowly sat down in his rolling chair. His hands on his desk as he breathed out.

"I don't mean to."

"We know you don't." Jessica laughed.

"It just happens." She nods.

"It's just, my mom-"

"Your mom had a wife, King. Someone who could watch you while she went off with the Black Doves. You? You don't even have a lover not to mention a spouse. No love interest at all." Jessica shakes her head.

"And you can't keep throwing your son at my sister. She's doing well in school and grandma would like to keep it that way." Yoongi smiles to Jungkook who's pulling at his hair.

"So what am I to do? Find someone to babysit him?" Jungkook groaned.

"Yes!" Everyone said in unison.

Jungkook snorted. "I don't have time for interviews and I'm not trusting just anybody with my kid."

He shook his head, he leaned back in his chair, pulling his chain necklace with his thumb.

"I'll balance it."

"King-"

"I said I'll balance it."

No one tried to fight it. Everyone was quiet.

"Where should I put this?" Liz asked as he lifted a stack of shoes.
