Strippers and CEOs - Namjin Yoonmin Taekook

Forty Four

One year after de wedding

Jeon Jungkook. What's he been up to this last year? It's kind of a long story. After the wedding there was only one thing in his mind. He visited every strip club in Seoul looking for Taehyung. But no matter with how many people he talked to, he couldn't find him. He didn't even think he could be in another country with Jin.

Since the things in his house went from bad to worst he decided to move out. He couldn't stand seeing his brother. He never wanted to talk about what happened and pretended to be unaffected despite looking like a complete mess. A drunk mess.

He left thinking his brother was gonna find his way on his own. Unaware that next time he was gonna see him he would be in a hospital. He still had a little faith in him. More than what he had in Namjoon to who he never talked to again.

The money his father left him was more than enough to pay his apartment and live without working for at least a few years. No wonder Yoongi never gave him the money before. He probably wanted him to stay in the house with him. But Jungkook was mature enough to invest it. He didn't know what to do with it first. He didn't know how to invest in stock or companies like his brother did.

He wanted to do something he liked with it. And that's how it started. A small dancing studio. He hired some dancers to give classes there. He had three different dance rooms so he could have several classes at once. And he even joined the classes until he had the courage to teach himself.

It felt like a very simple life. Fast food on the way out because he didn't feel like cooking. Working several hours a day. Living from art. Making new friends with the same interests. Preparing a little show so his students could dance at the end of the year. All things he enjoyed and loved. But something was missing...Tae was missing.

He never stopped looking for him. And he never will. Currently, he can't say he's unhappy. He can't say he's not proud of himself. His brother is much better and so is his relationship with him. He still doesn't talk to Namjoon but he does talk to the other Hyung he adores.

Today, he'll meet Jin again. They met several times during the year. They mostly text each other since they're both working though. Specially Jin that has to handle a lot more things than him. But today they can take a break and go out to eat something. And like always, they catch up with what they did, they gossip about their friends and family. But they don't talk about the strippers.

It was kind of a silent agreement. They just didn't want to mention something that made Jungkook so sad. And Jin didn't wanna give out that he knew exactly where they were.

- I'll pay for dinner, Kookie

- You payed last time Hyung!

- Let me enjoy being the rich man I am!

- Ugh, Fiiine...but only because I'm little short this week

- Why? What happened?

- One of the dance teachers quit. He got the chance to be a back up dancer for Monsta X. I wasn't gonna stop him, that's one hell of a chance

- Good for him

- Yeah, but now I have a lot less classes. I need to make an audition to replace him.

- You'll find someone, I'm sure! So... how's Yoongi?

- Straight to the point uh?

- We might not be friends anymore but we were for the longest time. Do you know how scared I was when Hobi told me about the whole hospital shit?!

- Yeah, I know. But he's much better! You can visit him someday

- I know. Maybe I will...

- He stopped drinking. He hasn't worked much in the company this days. He's too focused on the release of his new album
