"Yes, well those are not true at all. Please wait for our official statement. We'll be releasing it soon. Thank you."

As soon as Jungkook ended the call, his phone rang again.

"Shit, Tae!! I've spent the whole day answering calls from these damn reporters because of your carelessness!"

"Pfft!! Relax dude. Just release the statement saying that he was just a make-up artist or something who assisted me in the hotel. They'll shut up quite soon. You know how it dies down easily, right?" Taehyung said to his manager, lying down the luxurious sofa in Jungkook's office while playing a game on his phone.

"Yeah 'it dies down', alright! Along with your movie offers, endorsements and sponsorships! Fuckkk!"

"Ok, ok I'm sorry!" Tae got up from the sofa, "I messed up okay, Kook. How can I make it up to my handsome best friend?!"

"Don't play with me, I'm not in the mood right now! I have to make a lot of calls and pay some journalists to write something for you. Shit, why did I get myself into this job!!"

"Cozzz you love me, your dear best friend since high school. And we made a promise that we'll conquer this industry together! And we are actually doing it Kook!!" Taehyung happily said.

"And we're going down soon too!!" Jungkook flashed a fake smile. "If you continue being an asshole in real life!"

"Oh please. I'm just having a bit of fun! I admit, I wasn't careful ok. Sorry. Now, what can I do to make the situation better?"

Jungkook thought for a while, "Go to this event overseas. This fund-raising thing for Korean scholars. Show up there as the face of young Korean theatre acts."

"You said that's not a profitable move?!"

"Well, it is now! You need something that will show your 'sincerity' of being a film artist. Something that will rebuild your image as someone supporting a great cause."

"Fine! It's settled then. We're good now." Taehyung stood up and patted Jungkook on the shoulder before he walked out the door.

"Morning Dr. Min!!" someone peeked into Jin's office.

"Oh hello Dr. Park!" Jin smiling at his best friend as he wears his white coat. "Come on in, Jimin-ah!"

"How was the convention last night?" he walks to Jin's table and stared at his face, suddenly his eyebrows wrinkled.

"Ok, I'm guessing not good?? Seeing that thick concealer on your cheek concealing something that needs to be concealed?!" Jimin said.

"Oh my, am I that bad in doing my make-up?!" Jin faced the mirror checking his bruised cheek if it looked too obvious.

"Jin!! This won't stop if you won't make him stop!" Jimin crossed his arms frustratingly.

"I'm fine. It's just a misunderstanding Chim."

"That's the 'nth time you used that reason. Please Jinnie.."

"Okayyy, just tell me about your date last night. Is he cute? How does he smell? Did you have sex??"

"Ohhh. Myyy. Ggoodd. Jinnieee." Jimin squeaked and sat down in the sofa of Jin's office, totally forgotten about his argument with his best friend. "He's so fucking hot!! And he has a lot of celebrity friends! Coz well, he's just the CEO of the one and only JK Entertainment!!"

"Wow! How were you able to meet someone like that??" Jin was amazed. He knows his best friend can be really pretty charming, but still he was surprised that he can meet someone so big.

"Oh we just met at a bar and hooked up right away!" Jimin giggled. "But I know I can feel he is the one."

"Sure, he is." Jin was laughing while shaking his head.

Knock. Knock. "Dr. Min, Director Kim wants to see you," a woman said as she peeped into the door.

"Ok, thank you."

*******

"Hello, can I come in Director Kim?" Jin knocked softly.

"Of course, Jin. Come in." Namjoon bowed too before sitting down again.

He looked up to Jin and sighed deeply.

"I knew that will happen when I realized we went home too late last night." his eyes referring to Jin's cheek.

"Oh please. I need to buy a better concealer next time! This brand is horrible!" Jin rolled his eyes.

"Jin, I don't like it when you get hurt. But I feel so pathetic that I can't even do anything about it."

"I'm okay, Joon. Please, let's not talk about it. We already made up, we're good now."

"Ok. If you say so. But please do know that I am just here for you anytime."

"I know, thanks." Jin smiled. "So, is there something else?"

"Ah yes. Well, I had a call from the investor we met last night. There's a good opportunity for us but we need to meet the rest of their board in the UK. Are you okay to come to the UK for a few days?"

"UK? Us, a trip together for a few days? Sorry Joon, I don't think Yoongi would approve of that. Do you see my cheek?"

"I know that, believe me, I do. So no, it's not gonna be us together. It'll be just you. I was supposed to be the one to go but I already have a previous commitment. It's my sister's wedding so we have to fly to New York. Sorry, Jin."

"Oh okay. That will be easier for me to bring up with Yoongi. I'll let him know tonight. When is this?"

"On the weekend. Let me know so we can start preparing for your trip. Thanks Jin."

*******
