The beep sound from his desk phone distracted Taehyung from his work. He saved the design he was working on in his laptop and answered the phone.
"Your father is on line 2, sir", his secretary informed him in a very formal tone, making Taehyung sigh heavily.
"Connect him", Taehyung replied and waited.
"Good morning, father", he greeted politely as soon as the call was connected to his father.
"How are you, son?", Kim Sun-myung, Taehyung's father, asked in his ever-cheerful voice, "Why couldn't I reach you through your personal number?"
"I am fine dad. Errr... My mobile phone is not working. I am getting a new one soon", Taehyung replied, looking at the shattered remains of his mobile phone in the dustbin.
"Alright, would you like to join me and your mom for lunch tomorrow?", Sun-myung asked.
"What is the occasion, dad? Did I miss any important date?", Taehyung enquired, surprised by the sudden invitation.
Taehyung heard soft murmurs from his father's line and he chuckled, knowing that his mother was probably pestering his father to get him home somehow.
"Do we need a reason to have a meal with our son? But we will understand if you are busy tomorrow", Sun-myung said, hoping that his son would say yes.
"Of course not, dad. I will be there tomorrow", Taehyung answered.
"Okay, I will inform your mother. Be on time, son", Sun-myung said, when Taehyung's mother interrupted from the background, "That's all? Won't you even ask if my boy is eating properly or sleeping well?"
"Darling, you can ask him that yourself when he comes home tomorrow", Sun-myung chimed at his wife and returned to Taehyung's call, "Now get back to work, son. We will meet tomorrow"
"Bye dad", Taehyung disconnected the call and scratched his forehead with his thumb thoughtfully.
He knew his father well enough to understand that it was not a simple lunch invitation. He pressed his temples with his fingertips when he heard a soft knock on his door.
"Come in", Taehyung called, disinterested.
Namjoon entered his office and stopped in front of his table. He placed the box of a new mobile phone on the table and pushed it across to Taehyung.
