"Opportunities multiply as they are seized."

Over the next three weeks Taehyung had thrown himself to help for preliminary plans of a medical centre at the Gangnam sky-rise. As the hospital still was not sure how to proceed with Taehyung's internship and employment, Taehyung was left in limbo. So when Hoseok asked him what would be needed if the Black Moon Corporation was ever to veer into the medical field like say a private clinic for its employees and their families, Taehyung was more than happy to give his expert opinion.

Hence when Hoseok and Yoongi were sitting in Hoseok's office going over projections, calculations and overdraft for the clinic, Taehyung was with them.

Yoongi's phone went off and after he had checked the notification, he frowned.

"What is it?" Hoseok inquired.

"Uncle is here," Yoongi replied, both men exchanging a look. Samchon never visited any of his associates. EVER.

Taehyung who had picked up on the look and the tension that suddenly filled the room looked at both.

"Anything wrong?" he asked. "Should I go?"

Before anyone could answer him, the door already opened and Jungkook followed by an elderly man entered the office. Taehyung watched fascinated and bewildered while Hoseok and Yoongi bowed. Then Hoseok launched himself into the arms of the man.

"Samchon-ssi," Hoseok cried excitedly. "Wonderful to see you."

"Hoseok, my boy, how are you? I hope you have recovered after that knife fight?" Samchon replied and smiled at the young man.

"I'm good, never been better," Hoseok replied. "Thank you."

The affection between both men was real and while Hoseok was always a very open and cheerful character, their obvious enjoyment of each other was wonderful to watch.
After another hearty embrace, not one of those manly one armed hugs either as Taehyung noted, the man they all called Uncle turned towards Yoongi.

"Yoongi-ssi," he acknowledged and both men exchanged a smile. Then he turned to Taehyung.

"Jungkook-ssi and Yoongi-ssi told me I have to thank you for saving my financial adviser," Samchon said with a wink towards Hoseok. Taehyung was flustered but met the man with an open gaze.

"I just did what was needed," Tae returned.

Samchon nodded and patted his back, then exchanged a look with Jungkook.

"I need to talk to you and Yoongi," Samchon said.

Taehyung followed Hoseok. At the door he looked back towards Jungkook. As if he had felt the gaze of his boyfriend, Jungkook looked up from where he was already conversing softly with Samchon.

Jungkook gave Tae one of his crooked grins and winked. Taehyung smiled back but he could not suppress the sense of dread when the door closed.

Back in the office the three men sat comfortably in the seating area. Yoongi passed coffee and tea around before settling himself in one of the comfortable chairs. Jungkook and Yoongi were sitting in front of Samchon who sat back against the plush cushions of the settee. Both young men exchanged a look before turning towards the older man.

"You might wonder why I am here, but I thought it was best to come to you and not at my office. Neither the park nor my office seem to be safe places at the moment. Also my associates were being followed. At the moment your Namjoon and his team are searching my premises for bugs ..." The older man made a moue of disgust with his lips. "Thank you for sending Namjoon to me on such a short notice."
