Chapter 25

Taehyung had arrived on time at his office despite the difficult night he had gone through. His day had started with usual paperwork and meetings like the one he was attending at this very moment. It was the second for today and even though he wouldn't feel necessarily pressured in general, he felt in this one. Not because there was being discussed anything difficult but because Mr Jung was in the meeting room, seating some chairs away from him.

After the information he had gotten to know yesterday, he couldn't help but look at the husband of his aunt in a different way. One of pity for the fact that he was ignorant of everything that had gone down and one of guilt because he was basically the living proof that his wife had cheated on him.

He felt a bit satisfied however with how he still dared to look him in the eyes and pretend that he knew nothing. His feelings towards the man were not hostile however in his eyes he was never close to family for him. He was only an old man who thought only about money and business and acted accordingly in order to get those things. In comparison to his father, Mr Jung never smiled at his kids or anyone else as far as Taehyung could recall from his childhood memories. He was always just how he is right now. Cold and collected, speaking in that boring tone and gazing with the same dull eyes.

After they fell to an agreement about all the matters they had at hand for the day, Taehyung looked over at his secretary with a smile, feeling happy that it was over while in his head he kept wondering how had Jimin managed for the past months to be doing this and attending lectures simultaneously. He had started doing only one of them and he felt exhausted. It was not easy to manage a company and as time went by he couldn't help but realize even more how much of a necessity Jimin was to him. He knew way more than him since he tended to run after their father, helping him with such things and that experience and knowledge was sure to be needed for both of them in these difficult times.

Because Taehyung may have not addressed it, but he was well aware of the eyes that looked at him whenever he was to enter and sit at that seat. They were all judgmental and doubtful of him and the fact that he may not be capable and good enough for this position however they were not able to say anything yet, simply because he had not officially taken the post yet and he was sharing it with Jimin, as the only two successors left of Mr Park who was the chairman of this company and had the biggest shares. As long as he and Jimin would stay together and not divide their percentages, no one could overpower them and take the lead of this company and they definitely were not planning to let anyone manage the wealth that their father worked so hard for.

"Before we call this meeting off, could I perhaps have a moment?" Mr Jung interrupted the people who were gathering their things, along with Taehyung whose mind had already left the room, thinking that it was over but after his words, he had to bring his attention back and he did so, slightly displeased even though he didn't let his emotions show on his face.

"Being partners for so many years, I think it's only natural for me to share one of the greatest achievement of my company. I believe you all are aware of the deal I managed to make with the entertainment company in china, securing us a huge percentage of advertisement all over their country as well as a lower tax fee for our products. In celebration of that event, my company will be holding a party this evening and I hope to see you all, to celebrate and rejoice together this success."Everyone started congratulating and reassuring the man that they will be present, while Taehyung just stood silent, finding this news as bothersome and as something he would like to skip.

Despite the fact that he liked such occasions and now he actually had someone to take with him, he felt like even if he was to go, he would not be able to have a good time, considering the thoughts that are running in his head and the feelings that are yet to be shaken inside him. The thought of having to meet his aunt again, made him feel nervous enough to throw up.
