"Bang-nim, I've made up my mind. I'm going for this project." Seokjin carefully handover the manuscript to CEO Bang. 

"Vante? Sure. I'll let them know. Anyway, you're going to an event with Jungkook today. Both of you will be representing the company since I have prior plans. Do tell Jungkook to be ready by 5pm. Dress code is casual."

"Hmmm... okay... what event is this for?"

"Movie premiere. I think it would be good for you to have exposure."

"Thank you. Bang-nim. I'll make my move first." Seokjin was excited to attend his first movie premiere and he happily dialed Jungkook's number to notify him...

"Jin? What is it?"

"Jungkookie! We're going to movie premiere!!! I'll be coming back home soon. Let's coordinate our clothes! Bye!"

Jimin POV

He gets antsy the moment Jungkook mentioned Jin. Not even Seokjin, but Jin? Since when were they close enough to drop the formality? "JK? Can we continue with the recording?"

"Jimin-ah, we need to wrap up soon. I have to attend an event later on." 

Jimin knew it was with Seokjin, even then, he still asked, "What event is that? Can I follow?"

"Sorry you can't. I'm going as a couple with Jin for a movie premiere later. Its a company event." 

He got irritated with the tone from Jungkook, this was not it. They were supposed to be together. This Seokjin is really ruining his plans. "That's too bad then... It must be miserable to keep up with the act right?" 

"Huh? Yeah..."

Car ride to the movie premiere...

Jungkook noticed how anxious Seokjin was, as he kept mumbling to himself and fidgeting with his fingers. Jungkook recalls this was Seokjin's first official event and he knows how that feeling was for him the first time. Lucky for Seokjin, he have Jungkook at his side. Jungkook had none, he was literally being shoved in the limelight and having to navigate on his own in a room with unfamiliar people at the very young age. 

"Jin? Let's run through the things we are comfortable and uncomfortable. Are you ok with hand holding later on?"

"Yes. I'm good with that. I mean that's the basic right?" Honestly Seokjin have never had a partner. He learnt about relationship was through Korean drama and the roles he played. Not that he doesn't want to be in relationship, he doesn't have the time. Plus he is cash strapped as the small roles earning is barely able for him to cope with his daily expenses.

 Jungkook sense Seokjin's uncertainty. One thing he agreed with CEO Bang, Seokjin is really an epitome of innocence. What have he been doing for the past 29 years?

"Do you trust me?"

Seokjin looks at Jungkook and in split second he nodded, "Hmm..."

"Follow my lead and you'll be fine... Let's go..."

Movie Premiere

The flashing lights are blinding, but thanks to Jungkook there was no ounce of nervousness when they struts together on the red carpet

They even gets playful, when the reporters requested for a cutesy pose as couple. Jungkook didn't expect for Seokjin to pout, and it has been awhile he lets out a genuine smile. After they were being ushered to wait at the lounge, Seokjin starts to fidget again.

"Omo, why is he here?" Jungkook looks around to see who Seokjin referring to. "Jin?"

Seokjin continues to panic, "Shit, he is coming here. What should I do? Where should I run to?"

Jungkook hold Seokjin's hand and softly whispered in hope to calm him down a bit, "Jin? What is it?"

"Hey JK! Good to see you! And cutie, we meet again."

"Ah...i...ermm..." Jungkook looks at the exchange between Taehyung and Seokjin. Have they met in set before? And what's with Seokjin being tongue tied?

"The great Tae is finally back! Let's catch up soon!" He dislike the way Taehyung giving a once over at Seokjin. He slides his arms, placing his hand on Seokjin's petite waist and brought him closer to him, "Jinnie-ah, why you never tell me you've met Taehyung before."

Seokjin looks at Jungkook in disbelief, "Jinnie?"

Taehyung POV

He knew he would meet the cutie again, well its a matter of time. But he didn't expect for the cutie to be wrapped around Jungkook's arm. Taehyung observed the way Jungkook gets territorial, that tight grip as though to flaunt this cutie is his. He just finds it wasted for this cutie to be with Jungkook. No matter how close he is with Jungkook, he would never recommend anyone to be with him knowing how much of a player he is. He even had to cover for Jungkook one time. 

Then again, since he would have more opportunities to catch up with this cutie, he backs out for now. Being cryptic, "Well, I guess fated brought us back together. See you around JK. And cutie, we'll meet up soon." That satisfied look seeing how the two seems lost, before he turns and walk away.
