Min Yoongi inherited his family business after his parents decided to retire and travel across the globe.

"What good is all this money if I can't enjoy some time with the woman I love?" his father had yelled at him before storming out of the meeting room.

Of course Yoongi had no choice but to inherite the vast empire and all the baggage that came with it.

He understood love enough to understand his family needed this. His parents and their seemingly healthy relationships has been on a rough voyage since over a decade now. His refusal to get married only added to the waves battering a sinking ship.

While the business was flourishing, their personal lives were nowhere near joyful as it looks on the news and all over those elite magazines.

-------

Yoongi had taken over the company just 3 weeks ago when a bunch of threatening calls and letters started pouring in. Some suspected it was a nasty competitor trying to intimidate them. Others assumed it was the disgruntled former CEO who was denied the "well deserved" promotion as he liked to call it. The former CEO was not really as capable as he assumed himself to be.

Of course Yoongi on the other hand had been training under his grandfather and then his father since he was a child. He was ready to inherit the company 5 years ago. But he was expected to marry Park Eun Jeong, the daughter of their family friend and business rival. It was called a staggering merger.

He definitely did not want a business proposal along with a matrimonial agreement. So he refused to marry someone he was not in love with.

Love!

Min Yoongi was in love with someone for far too long. Someone who also came from money and also could have been a very lucrative merger, had they been allowed to marry with same gender partners.

Park Jimin, the youngest and only son in his family, and brother of Park Eun Jeong was Yoongi's best friend. They grew up together and even went to college together.

Their time away from SK and it's rigid environment gave them time to grow their friendship into a relationship.

But of course they both knew they could never talk about this back home. So they vowed to never get married to anyone else unless they fall in love again.

Jimin was sure Yoongi will find someone amazing, considering his massive portfolio and even more amazingly charming looks.

But the gentleman refused to love anyone else as long as Jimin would be by his side. Labels never bothered him. He never cared what people think.

Jimin got to know about the threats on the news while he was traveling for shoots. An upcoming mega star and a highly-rated supermodel was almost never in SK.

Yoongi would just travel to him. Visit him across the globe. You see, this is exactly why Yoongi understood the need for a couple to get some alone time away from home.

"You promised there will he no complications." Jimin sounded furious over the phone. "And you were supposed to be here. Why are you even calling me right now? Get your ass here right now or I swear..." Jimin went on and on. Yoongi patiently listened.

And when Jimin cooled down enough, Yoongi finally responded.

"I'm ok. They have 24/7 security all over the house. And I'm working from home. I'm safe. They just need to get a look-alike for me to dodge the media and paparazzi sniffing around the compound."

Yoongi expected how a struggling singer and a long time friend was pretty much a virtual twin and their security team was verifying his details before they can hire him for the job.
