Sugar Rush

53

The night was cold, but the atmosphere at the banquet was warm. Though it smelled of egoist and pompous bastards, Mr Kim had managed to keep it sane and bearable. He was wearing a brown three-piece suit and smiled and greeted everyone as they came to wish him a healthy year ahead. The birthday was organised by Seokjin and Mew and very few families were invited. The only families that were respected by Mr Kim and his closest friends were invited. But due to Mr Kim's reputation and connections, the list reached around 250 people.

"Who are you waiting for? Why are you not making the announcement?"

Mr Kim looked at the lady standing beside him. Mrs Sarocha Kim or Tao Sarocha Jongcheveevat, Mew's mother was standing beside her husband giving everyone a fake smile as they came to wish Mr Kim. Mr Kim sighed, "I am waiting for my son." She was a bit smaller than Mr Kim. Her eyes were sharp, which Mew had inherited from her. Her body was perfectly maintained due to the constant help of trainers and deiticians. Long black hair fell on her back till they reached her mid waist. Long slender hands, one holding the clutch and another hooked around Mr Kim's Hand. She was so beautiful that people would kill to have her as a wife. Her beauty was enhanced in the deep red dress she was wearing.

Tao rolled her eyes but then gave a fake smile like Mr Kim just said something cheesy, "Your son is here. Mew is right there chatting with the guests. Who else do you want? Let me go and introduce him as the next chairman to everyone."

Mr Kim sighed, "Just stay here." He put his hand on her back in a threatening stance. "Do not move."

Tao was about to ignore Mr Kim's order when they heard a murmur from the front gate. They looked at the gate and found three cars stopping in front of the gate. As the guard opened the door, a slick black shoe came out of the car followed by Soekjin. The guards surrounded him immediately, forming a circle around Seokjin, Yoongi and Hoseok. The cameras started flashing around them, as the guards kept the reports away from them. Seokjin stopped at the entrance of the hall to give a curt bow to the media before starting to walk towards the main event followed by Yoongi and Hoseok. The number of guards started getting lesser as they started stationing in their given positions. Seokjin was wearing a white suit with a gradient that changed to dark marron as it reached the end. His hair was styled with a side parting. As soon as he reached his father, he looked at Mew. Mew was wearing a velvet blue suit, with hair styled similar to Seokjin. Mew smiled and quickly stood beside Seokjin followed by his secretary. Both the brothers bowed to Mr Kim at the same time.

"Congratulations on your birthday, abeoji."

There were gasps and murmurs among the guests. This act literally confirmed the rumours of the brothers being on a good term. But the most shocked person in the entire hall was Tao. She was constantly glaring at Mew for betraying her.

Mr Kim smiled brightly, "Thank you. I think this is the best birthday gift I have ever received."

Seokjin looked at Mew with a smirk and Mew nodded. He turned to Mr Kim, "We still have your gift." Seokjin raised his hand in the air and Hoseok put a file in his hand. Seokjin and Mew gave the file to Mr Kim. 

"Your birthday gift, phaw." Mew smiled brightly. It was his first official work at the company after all.

Mr Kim's eyebrows frowned as he opened the file. The frown immediately turned to a proud smile as he looked at the brothers. The file contained all the information about the recent project being a success and a detailed report about what Mew had done. Mr Kim gave the file to his secretary and patted both the brother's shoulders, "You have finally made my dream come true. I have said it enough times to Seokjin, but today," he looked at Mew, "You earned it. I am proud of you, son."
