Yoongi was sleeping when he got the call from Jin. "Hello?", he asked sounding sleepy and he didn't even bother checking the caller ID. "Yoongi-ah, it's me". Suga jolted up from his slumber and replied,"Jin? Hey you called? Is everything okay? It's been a year since you last called".

Guilt overwhelmed Jin. He realized how selfish he was acting, he called Yoongi just to rant about Jungkook,while he kept his bestfriend at bay for a year. He sighed and replied, "Sorry Yoongichi, I should have called before. I saw your congratulatory message, thank you Yoongi for always checking on me, I know that I am not a great friend but...but I will try to change myself. I will reach out to you more".

Yoongi smiled hearing that. He missed Jin. So many things happened in his life, so many changes came in his life but he couldn't share anything with him. He understood that Jin intentionally wanted to be away from everyone in Korea and so he let him be.

"Soo, how's everything?", asked Yoongi. Jin scratched his head and said,"Uhh.. everything is fine except I uhh met Jungkook and he kinda seemed very scary and intimidating?". Yoongi screamed out, "What? Jungkook is there? But he promised not to bother you anymore. He didn't even bother me about you after that day".

Jin replied,"I don't think he was there for me , I saw him at our after grad party and apparently he is a big shot CEO now who expanded his business to USA, so my friend wanted to work in his company and he dragged me to their conversation which is how I ended up meeting him". "He is a big shot CEO now", Yoongi added, "The Jungkook we knew is not this Jungkook, Jin, be careful. Anyways did he say anything to you?".

"Uhmm no not really, but he held onto my hand when he shook hands and didn't want to let go, that was very unprofessional of your big shot CEO", Jin replied. Yoongi laughed and replied, "So are you okay?". Jin answered, "Yeah yeah, it doesn't bother me anymore to be honest. I am over him. It's just that his sudden arrival took me by surprise and I felt very awkward, so I left the party in a hurry".

"Hey Yoongi, I am home, I will call you again okay? It was nice talking to you, I feel so much better after talking to you, love you miss you, mwah", with that Jin cut the call, leaving a dejected Yoongi.

Jin's mind replayed Yoongi's words over and over again."The Jungkook we knew is not this Jungkook, Jin, be careful", however sleep came to him easily that night as the day proved to be quite tiring for him.

The next day

The day started as usual with Jin hasting off to the subway to catch his train, passing by Starbucks to get his morning Americano and running off to office.

He was working on his desk when the manager clapped to get everyone's attention. "Attention my lovely fellows, we have a merger coming today from Seoul and I need you all to be ready at the conference room. Jin , yes you, I need you to be there by my side as my personal translator, is that clear?". Jin was dumbfounded. He replied, "But I work in the finance department, how can I be a translator".

His manager rolled his eyes and said, "No questions asked Jin. I need to impress that Greek God CEO".

Jin couldn't quite understand what was happening. What was he supposed to be? A matchmaker? He knew his manager was gay but he didn't know that he was the type to jump on people. He sighed and replied, "Got it boss".

Just as he sat down on his desk, he jolted up realizing, what if the CEO was Jungkook? Jungkook was from Seoul aswell. He turned around to ask his manager but he was already gone. Jin's stomach churned imagining that he had to matchmake Jungkook and his manager. No, god no.

Two hours later, his manager asked him to follow him at the entrance because the merger had arrived. Jin was extremely nervous and was shaking, but he kept his composure. He stood behind his manager as he saw a black car stopping infront of the gate. He shut off his eyes murmuring "please don't let it be Jungkook please don't let it be Jungkook".

Suddenly he moaned out in pain as he felt a flick in his forehead. He opened his eyes to see, Kim Taehyung?

"Yah Taehyung,you stupid,What are you doing here?". Taehyung smiled and pulled Jin into a tight hug. Jin squirmed out of the hug to check who came out of the car, instead he saw his manager glaring at him.

"Mr.Jin, is this the way to greet our valuable merger Mr. Taehyung?". Jin widened his eyes as he realized Taehyung was the merger. He stepped back a little and bowed down to say, "Welcome to Herrington 's Mr. Kim Taehyung".  Taehyung smirked and replied, "The pleasure is all mine, beautiful".

Jin murmured a curse under his breath. Taehyung seemed to notice it as he contained his laughter. Jin's manager stood infront of Taehyung and extended his hands, "Mr. Taehyung, it's lovely meeting you. Thank you so much for choosing our company". Taehyung returned the handshake but got creeped out as he felt the guy rubbing his thumb over his hand. Taehyung immediately retracted his hand and showed a forced smile.

Although Taehyung knew how to speak in English, he acted that he couldn't so that he could only talk to Jin in the office. "Jin-ssi could you please tell this wench that I need a personal translator if this merge is to happen?". Jin could guess his tactics so he replied,"Tell that yourself you psycho". Taehyung answered,"I can't speak in English babe". Jin replied,"Yes you can". Taehyung answered , "No I can't".

Suddenly Jin's manager intervened and nudged Jin to whisper," What is he saying? And why are you shouting at him? Do you want me to fire you?". Taehyung heard him and continued laughing at Jin. Jin replied,"I apologize Sir, actually he wants me as his personal translator but I told him that you already booked me as your translator" leaving out the wench part obviously, hoping his manager would save him.

Jin's manager replied,"How dare you take decision of yourself?". He looked at Taehyung and smiled to say,"Mr Taehyung, Jin is all yours. He will work as your translator and if you need him as your tour guide for USA, he can also do that".

Jin's eyes came out of his socket as he heard that. Although Taehyung understood everything he wanted to hear it out of Jin's mouth. He faced Jin and asked,"What did he say Jin-ssi?".

Jin fumed in anger but translated with a happy face infront of his manager. Taehyung clapped with happiness and that made the manager very proud of his decision. Taehyung continued to praise the manager in broken English, "Amazing, wow thank you beautiful manager. America good country". This made him blush like a fool.

While Jin prayed to God to have mercy on him as both the devils were now in USA, what is he gonna do?
