Poem of Tears

Yoongi opened the door and informed, "Sir, Mr. Han canceled the new orders. Do you know why?"

"Yes, your brother slapped his son; how could he support us now?"

"Slap! I should kill that bitche," Yoongi clenched his teeth.

Hoseok asked, "Yoongi, have you ever killed someone before?"

Nervously, Yoongi replied, "Me?" Pointing at himself, he stammered, "I... I haven't. Contact Mr. Han and discuss it. The boss instructed us to." With that, he left the room.

Jungkook struggled to avoid his colleagues' prying questions and stares. "Why did that man do it?" he pondered, releasing a sigh of relief.

Mina chuckled, "What a romantic scene that was."

"Shut up! Romantic, my foot," Jungkook muttered, his hands trembling.

Yoongi joined them, remarking, "So both of you started in the office too."

Jungkook shot him a glare, "Don't say anything about that."

"Okay," Yoongi smiled.

Taehyung asked to join them for lunch, and Mina  welcomed him. Hoseok also joined with them... he winked at Yoongi, implying something more.

"So, boss, when are you getting married?"

"I don't know. Pappa will decide. He wants to meet Kai hyung."

"I'll arrange for you to meet him," Mina assured, "Kai is thrilled about your decisions."

Taehyung turned to Yoongi, "Yoongi, can you go for the summer summit with him in Jeju Island?"

Jungkook objected, "No, it's too far."

Hoseok intervened, "Come on, I won't do  anything to this wildcat."

"It's not like that," Jungkook explained, looking at Yoongi, "If you want to go, you can."

Mina supported Yoongi's decision, "Let him go; the boy is all grown up and needs to find someone in a few years."

Hoseok chimed in, "What about me? We're dating.

Yoongi was taken aback, "What? No, I don't even like your shadow.

Hoseok pressed, "Then why do you get so shy when I look at you?"

Yoongi retorted, "Shy? Oh God, just drop it."

Taehyung boldly stared at Jungkook, who had a small smile. The atmosphere was light, like a family enjoying a rare moment of laughter.

Jimin glanced at his friends, Jin and Hoseok, expecting one of them to attend his parents' school meeting, as they usually did.

"Mr. Kim," the teacher politely instructed Taehyung, "please take a seat." Taehyung walked over to Jimin and sat beside him. As he sat down, Jimin looked down but was soon surprised to find his father and mother sitting beside him. He excitedly called out, "Momma!"

Jungkook combed his son's hair with his hand, asking, "What's up, buddy?" Jimin shrugged and held both his parents' hands. The boy couldn't contain his happiness, and their presence drew the attention of others in the room, especially since Taehyung was a prominent businessman in the country.

The parents' meeting became the happiest day of Jimin's life, and he smiled every minute. His studiousness earned him congratulations from the teacher. Jimin walked proudly between his parents, feeling like a prince.

Jungkook, Kai, and Mia approached them. "Hey," Jungkook greeted with a smile.

"Hi, it's been a long time," Taehyung shook hands with Kai and greeted Miya.
