Jungkook is a ruthless and wealthy businessman who's only concern is getting the deal done and making money. He takes a flight 1225 from South Korea to LA for a Christmas day meeting. A meeting that will take his company to the next level if it is...
We change and go downstairs for lunch at one of the five restaurants in our lodge. We decide on eating Japanese and the meal is fabulous. We decide to have tea before leaving. Taehyung has on a pair of black skinny snug fitting jeans and a black tee shirt. Damn, could he be any sexier? The meal is delicious, and I decide to probe and find out more about him. Before I can ask him a question, he questions me as our tea arrives.

"Jungkook, can I ask why you are traveling to the US? Do you have family here?" Surprisingly, I don't feel as guarded as I did earlier. I know it's because in the past hours we have shared so much. The incident with Song bonded us in a unique way. We have laughed together and shared some tender moment where I fought to hold back my tears. We are no longer in the rear compartment of our luxury plane, yet I still feel a connection with him, and I want to share. I want Taehyung to know me. Why, I am not sure.
"Uh, I'm here on a business trip. I have a meeting on December 26 with the owner of a company that I want to purchase at a very good price." For some reason I feel embarrassed as I think of Taehyung's excitement about his Christmas holiday and being with his family. "I'm traveling to do a face to face, meeting a close the deal. Funny thing is, I haven't focused on any of my business since the incident with Min Song. I haven't looked at my email or checked my phone. I'm not even sure if we still have a deal. It's weird."
"What is Jungkook?" Taehyung picks up his teacup and takes a small sip.
"I believed that this deal was everything. It would boost my position in business and very nicely enhance my bank account. This is what I've worked for, or so I thought, but it doesn't matter? That is weird Taehyung."
"Jungkook, you appear to be a man that has achieved lot." I nod as he shares this and then he follows with a question.
"Have any of your achievements felt like enough or satisfying?" He places his cup back on the saucer and looks up at me with a faint smile.
I am caught completely off my guard by his question. I look down at my almond cookie as I ponder his query. Damn, he's smart and doesn't play around, I think bringing my eye upward to meet his.
"No, Taehyung it has never been enough. I-I thought it was satisfying but I always drove forward to the next deal thinking the next deal or next level of achievement would be the one." I feel the heaviness of my hallow space and it aches as I divert my eyes to Tae's delicate hands. I want to evade his deep probe into this part of me as my lowered walls start to rise.
"Taehyung, you are accomplished and driven. How has your journey to success been any different?" I question with a voice revealing slight irritation which he picks up right away and raises one eyebrow.
"Whoa, Jungkook." Slowly he presses his back into his chair and slightly raises a hand as to caution me. I feel him moving away from me and my chest aches. "I really don't think you want me to answer that, do you? I mean you no harm. I just wanted to know you better. Something happened to you on that flight, and I think it's very interesting." He now moves forward, and I feel he is back with me as my ache softens. "I will just say that being successful was never my mission. I just wanted to help others. I am successful," he shares very confidently as his head lifts up a bit higher. "I don't use the measurements of status, power and money like you do. I make very little money with doctors without borders. I could make more money as a waiter. I often get small perks." He actually starts to smile which bewilders me.
