The foreshadowing did come true. To Jungkook's horror, Jeon.Inc stocks were hugely speculated, It was 3:30pm, the market trading hours closed for the day and the share prices sank really low.
——————
Jisung watched his friend sleeping calmly on his bed.
His heart ached thinking how things went wrong in Tae's life.
It would be a lie if he said Hoseok's call didn't scare the shit out of him.
He just chose to remain unruffled so he doesn't end up terrifying Taehyung more.
He had his earphones plugged in watching the news channels while Taehyung was asleep.
They said that Jeon.Inc would release an Official statement by the next morning.
Jisung dreaded it. If Hoseok's words were to be believed, the company has already planned to project Taehyung in a poor light to cover up the CEO's cheating game.
As a result the media would practically shove their mics into Taehyung's face bombarding him with nasty questions.
Jungkook was safe inside those enormous strong constructions, guarded with hundreds of security guards keeping the media and paparazzi at bay.
Jungkook had the protection of his status, power and money.
But Taehyung doesn't.
Taehyung had to fight alone and fighting the wrath of a Corporate giant, who is hell bent on ruining him would only physically and emotionally drain him completely.
The media sooner or later would find and haunt him.
Jisung abruptly gets up from the bed, squashing those uneasy thoughts and leaves the apartment.
He goes to a mobile store, gets a new mobile network connection.
He withdraws cash from a nearby atm, makes a call and transfers money to the person he just spoke with.
It almost emptied his bank account, he didn't care though.
If he had to go bankrupt to keep his friend safe, so be it.
He quickly comes back home, thankfully Taehyung was still sleeping.
Once he awoke, Jisung starts speaking "Tae, Do you know Uncle Kang?"
"Yeah you mentioned his name once?" He says in a raspy tone.
"Okay, listen to me carefully, yeah?" Jisung gets a nod in return.
"He owns a nice, big Hanok in Andong folk village. He hosts travelers who visit the village. He rents out the rooms on a daily basis and provides food too."
(Author: Hanok is a traditional korean house)
Taehyung was looking at him, implicitly asking for him to continue.
"I'm sorry for doing this without consulting you but I transferred him money for accommodation and food for a month."
"The place is beautiful, you can connect to the nature and pursue your passion. Not many watch news, let alone some business scandal. Nobody's gonna recognize or question you, tae. I want you to go and stay there till the issue dies down."
To Jisung's surprise Taehyung gives a weak nod immediately.
Taehyung doesn't care about the false accusations anymore, he was so tired and devastated that he wants to run away from everything, everybody, from Jungkook.
"I will come visit you soon, okay?" His friend smiles widely "Here you go, I got you a new number. Uncle Kang's number is saved in it" Jisung gives him the mobile.
"When should I leave?"
Before they release the statement. He wants to say.
"By tomorrow morning. There is a train at 7.15am which will take you to Ulsan. The place is 25miles from Ulsan. Get a cab there!"
"Okay"
Jisung knows this wasn't a correct move, running away isn't the best solution.
But given Taehyung's mental stability at present, he doesn't want to put him through more stress.
He hoped that the new place will create new memories for him, replacing the old bitter ones.

7:00am
Jisung and Taehyung arrived at the Seoul Train station. Jisung gave him the cash and insisted Taehyung on wearing a mask and a hat so nobody recognizes him.
Taehyung was on the verge of tears, overwhelmed with a series of emotions and thoughts.
"Who is the strongest?" Jisung cups Taehyung's cheeks, lifting his head up to look at him.
"Taehyungie is the strongest" Tae says, giggling softly through tears.
With a heavy heart, lots of motivational words and the tightest hug possible, Jisung let Taehyung go.
——————————
8.00am
Jisung fidgeted with hands nervously, he was crying as he watched the news on his mobile, anticipating an Official statement from Jeon Company, demeaning Taehyung, bashing him brashly.
The statement was finally released.
To everybody's surprise it wasn't an official statement from the Company, but a personal statement, not from Jungkook though.
In regard with the incident that took place during the press conference held at Jeon's main building on Monday, date: xx-xx, I'd like to deeply apologize to the media family on behalf of Jungkook for the inconvenience caused.
I request you to let go of the issue as it concerns Jungkook's private life. I'm aware that the time and place are inappropriate but would really appreciate if you leave the matter as it is and move on.
I'm writing this to you not in the capacity of the Managing Director but as Jungkook's hyung and his most trusted friend.
Regards
Kim Namjoon
Namjoon who left for Japan last week is back in Seoul to handle the matters.
Most of the channels did comply but there were others who were clearly not willing to give up just yet.
He paid huge sums of amount to those channels to suppress the issue and he was successful in doing it, at least for the time being.
He also made sure a statement was released exclusively to the public and share holders too.
Jeon.Inc is a separate legal entity and the unfortunate event happened with our CEO, Mr Jeon Jungkook should in no way effect the working regime, the growth and the goodwill of the company as a whole.
The Company promises to achieve new heights of success and wishes for you to be a part of the journey. We hereby announce an additional 5% dividend to all the shareholders for the current year.
'Let's grow together'
Regards
Board of Directors, Jeon.Inc
