Author's POV:

(Company Hall)

Yoongi and Namjoon were at the company hall and Hoseok was not there. Yoongi called him.
"Where did you go?!"
"I went to get breakfast."
"What breakfast?! The venue host will provide breakfast! We've arrived at the place already! Get your ass here quickly!"
He hung up.
"Seriously, he's been gone since early this morning~" He whined.
'There are so many reporters everywhere, that's why he's acting like this... But good thing I'm here.'
Namjoon thought as he watched Yoongi being anxious. He gave him water bottle.
'This is when he needs me the most...'
He took the bottle.
"Why isn't Hoseok here yet?!" He said and drank water.
Namjoon was dejected.
'No, Yoongi might be missing him even more...'

Hoseok ran over and stopped at the entrance.
'Why are there so many reporters here today? Yoongi, he...'
He entered and found Yoongi and Namjoon talking with a journalist. He was looking at ease.
'Ah! His assistant is here... That's great... He'll be fine if he's here. Yeah... They've been partners for many years... I'm always doing unneeded things...'
He looked at the bag of breakfast in his hand.

Flashback (When Hoseok was 7 years old)...

Hoseok returned home after buying groceries and he was a little bruised, and heard his parents talking with someone. He stood outside the room and listened.
"Hoseok's mom, seeing Hoseok like that... I think he will have a hard time getting a job in the future. He won't be able to take care of himself. How could he take care of you two when you two retire?" The stranger said.
"Well, we still have Jaehyun."
"He's busy getting into trouble out there everyday, how can we put our hopes on him? That useless trash!" His father shouted.
Hoseok heard this and was very shocked as well as  he felt miserable.

End of Flashback...

'Yeah... This isn't needed anymore...'
He threw the breakfast in the trash bin.
Then, someone put their hand on Hoseok's shoulder.
"Hey!"
He turned and saw the guy from the bidding conference (who was trying to bribe the representative) with one more guy.
"I'm Byun Baekhyun, we've met before this. At president Choi's bidding conference. Let me get straight to the point, our company is in charge of the construction work for this project. Regarding the materials for the exterior wall, I was wondering if you could mention some good things about our company to designer Yoongi. Of course, you will be awarded handsomely after this."
"Are you bribing me now? Don't use those filthy tricks on me."
He turned around.
"What the fuck did you say?"
"I said, fuck off."
He started walking away without listening them.

"What the heck?! Don't gimme your bullshit if you don't know anything!"
"Yeah."
"You're still in your nappies when I started out in this field!"
"Nah, I wasn't putting my hopes in those nobodies anyway."
"Stupid, useless trash."

This time Hoseok stopped and ran towards Baekhyun, grabbed him by his tie and was about to punch him then Yoongi came just in time and caught his hand mid-air.
"Hoseok!"
He pulled him with him.
"Come."
'Yoongi... Did I get into trouble again?'
He looked back and found Namjoon there probably explaining and apologizing to them.
'Is he an important collaborator of the company? You guys had to come and save my butt...'

"Useless trash!" These words were stuck in his mind. He smiled bitterly as he followed Yoongi.

"Are you okay?" Yoongi asked Hoseok as he watched him sitting down leaning on the wall.
"Do you have cigarettes with you?"
'... Does he smoke?'
"Hold on."
He borrowed it from someone and gave it to him. He lighted the cigarette.
"What happened to you two?"
He didn't answer and took a drag.
"Will Baekhyun be working with us in the future?" He asked in return.
"It's not set yet. It's fine, Namjoon will handle that."
Yoongi's phone rang.
"Hey, yeah, yeah, we're coming."
"You can go back to your stuff now, I'll go in after I finish smoking."
"Okay, get in quickly."
"Okay."
He walked away, thinking about Hoseok's state.
'What's gotten into him? This is the first time I've seen him like that...'
