Silence.

An unusual silence filled the office of the CEO of Kim Industries, and everyone became anxious. Not a pleasant one but rather the silence before a huge storm. Everyone present in the cabin was stunned to hear Choi Jaehyun's demand. But soon, the silence broke, as Kim Daeyun's shouts pierced through everyone's ears.

"HOW DARE YOU ASK SUCH THINGS? I NEVER KNEW YOU WERE THIS GREEDY!" Daeyun screamed at his brother-in-law, who just had a calm look on his face.

"Calm down, my dear brother-in-law. You are hearing it right. I, not only want half of your business shares but also half of your overall properties. After all, I am your wife's brother. This is the least you can do," Jaehyun said as a matter of fact and shrugged it off.

Daeyun stood up from his swivel chair with utter rage and again yelled, "SHUT THE FUCK UP! Why the fuck would I even fulfill your demands in the first place? I am never going to give you anything, not after knowing your true face, you bastard!"

"Oh come on, Daeyun-ssi, you are getting old. And after you, who will take care of your business, huh? Your wife who has no sense of business or your son who is never serious about anything?" Jaehyun stopped and pointed at Sanghyun, before speaking again, "Or your this so-called faithful dog, huh? No one except my son and I can handle it, and not to mention we will rule this company even better than you did."

Taeshi, who was talking with his son on the phone, heard her husband's shouts and came running to see what happened. But soon felt disgusted after hearing her brother's cheap and greedy demands.

"Jaehyun! Cheap, just cheap! How greedy can you be? I am disgusted to even think that you are my brother!" Taeshi said with immense disgust in her voice.

Jaehyun just scoffed and said, "You are also not a great of a sister. Where you will convince your husband, you are arguing with me. Tsk!"

The older Kim became furious and was about to launch at Jaehyun, but Sanghyun grabbed him by his waist while saying, "Sir, please, don't become as cheap as him. He just wants this only. Please, calm down."

Before any of them could say anything, the office door burst open revealing Taehyung, Jungkook, and Eunwoo. Taeshi, seeing her son and others, regretted not cutting the call on time.

-Flashback of 30 mins ago-

Kim couples were at their office cabin talking about their son. "Honey, as Taehyung will graduate within a few months, don't you think we should take his and Jungkook's relationship to the next step?" Daeyun asked his wife.

"What do you mean next step? Both my babies are too young for doing that thing. No, not at all," Taeshi declined her husband's idea.

Hearing his wife, Daeyun face-palmed himself and said, "Uff! You call me dumbo, but you are the actual dumbo. I am not talking about that stuff, you dirty-minded lady!

Next step, as in the engagement ceremony and then marriage. We both know that they love each other unconditionally and Taehyung is more than eager to make Jungkook fully his. Also, the sooner they get married, the sooner your son will get responsible. So..." Daeyun explained with a smile and Taeshi made a done face.

"You know, you are indeed the biggest dumbo, right?" Daeyun's smile dropped upon hearing Taeshi, who continued, "It's not your life, it's their lives. Their decisions to make. Rather what if they aren't ready yet? What if Jungkook has some other plans? As you know how he is."

"My dear wifey, I know that, that's why I asked you first. And also, I just suggested, only after discussing and taking their permission we will take things further. So, don't worry," Daeyun made Taeshi understand, who, suddenly, could not hold her excitement and went directly to call her son to inform him about this.
