"Wow! Have you seen this news? So it might be true. That's the reason why we always see Kim Taehyung here in the hospital. The Chairman probably training him to be the next President."

"Really?! Oh my gosh! I can't wait to see him here every day! I now have no reason to get lazy."

"But if he is a Chairman's grandson, then why did he choose to be an actor? I mean, he started acting as soon as he graduated, right?"

"We don't know. Besides, it's still a rumor. Let's wait until it is confirmed."

A rumor that Taehyung would be quitting acting was spreading like wildfire. It was the topic of everyone in the hospital as they thought Taehyung was still at his peak as an actor and it saddened them that he would be quitting soon. But at the same time, they were excited as they would be seeing the famous actor every day soon.

"That's why I don't like you getting drunk! You're saying things you're not supposed to say!" Hoseok screamed as he interrogate Taehyung.

"Can you please lower your voice and stop panicking? Seriously, I don't understand people. When they get rejected, they will spill your secrets. Imagine having a relationship with that kind of person? Besides, I said that to him not because I'm drunk. I said that because he's trying to have sex with me. I told him I'm not in for that and I will be leaving acting soon that I don't have plans to have a relationship with anyone inside that world. One night stand or serious, I don't like it." Taehyung reasoned out. He's always relaxed whenever something came up.

Hoseok rubbed his chest with the palm of his hand. He closed his eyes to get more patience before facing Taehyung again, "Okay, I get it. One of our publicists told me that it was indeed him who spilled it. Anyway, at least he didn't get a taste of you. And! We will hold a press conference soon. Or perhaps release an official statement. Depends on what your grandfather would say.

One more thing. Madam Choi called me last night. You ditched her model again. This is the nth time you've been doing this and all I can do is to pay her double. If you just want to book out of impulse because you are frustrated that Seokjin isn't into you, then stop! Doing that will not make Seokjin yours!"

Taehyung chuckled. He remembered asking Hoseok to book a model for him whenever he sees Jin at the hospital. Frustrated that he couldn't get near him, he always rely on his bad habit of booking a model. But in the end, thinking Seokjin would hate him more for it, he would ditch the guy or the girl. "That's why I'm ditching them. Okay, I'm sorry. It won't happen again. I promise. By the way, were you able to submit my requirements to the University?"

Hoseok finally calmed down and sat on the chair in front of Taehyung's desk. Taehyung was going to the office when he had no schedule. Besides, he already asked Hoseok not to get any more schedules and just finish the existing ones.

"I already did. And I already paid the fees. I'll have a meeting with your grandfather this Friday together with the university administrators. I'm sure your grandfather would request for a special schedule."

Taehyung held his manager's hand. He was so thankful to have met Hoseok. He was more than just a manager to him. For him, Hoseok is like a big brother. Even though more than half of the time he's overreacting and nagging, still, Hoseok always wants the best for him.

"Thank you! I know I don't always say this but I am thankful for all that you do for me."

Hoseok rolled his eyes but still smiled at the gesture, "I know you. Aside from your grandfather and Jungkook, who else knows you more? That's why I take care of you because I know what happened and like I always say, I hate it when someone abuses your kindness. It's just with this guy you're going crazy with that I don't understand. But on a positive note, at least, he's someone you're more familiar with. I admire you for not giving in to your workmates. I know it's hypocrisy for me to say that since I used to book someone for you, I always tolerate your craziness, but still, thank you for not giving me too much headache."
