40. Lies and Truth

"Dad, his body hasn't fully recovered yet. Once he can move better, we will go see grandpa. So for now, just let us go..."

A week has already passed since Taehyung was hospitalized. Jin suggested taking Taehyung to his friend's hospital, but Jungkook stubbornly refused. The fact that Bogum knew about Taehyung's existence also meant that it could no longer be a secret. Jungkook said he would rather choose to take the bull by the horns. It was something they had to face once and there was no way to avoid it.

Jungkook had already informed his father that Taehyung had lost his memories due to an accident. He couldn't explain everything honestly to his father. Although he tried not to think negatively, he was worried about how far his father would be able to understand and accept what Taehyung had been through over the past 7 years. And also how he would accept their relationship....

It was definitely upsetting to lie to someone who completely trusted and supported him. But he couldn't just muster reckless courage. He could sense that his dad didn't trust him 100%.

"Son, at least... don't hide from him what he inevitably needs to know."

"................"

Jungkook seemed to know what his father meant. Even in his thoughts, it seemed impossible to hide his father's death from him. But how on earth could he tell him that?! No matter how much he thought about it, Jungkook wasn't confident.

"Jungkook, son... Some things are pointless to worry about. In those cases, it's best to just say something honest and sincere."

"................"

Jungkook frowned inadvertently. He felt as if his father knew what he was hiding. If possible, what he wants to hide forever...

"Father... I will do my best to protect him."

"The method is also important."

"................"

Method... Jungkook sighed involuntarily. Jungkook was worried about how his father would react if he found out about the method he had chosen to protect Taehyung.

After Bogum visited Taehyung, Jungkook's vigilance was at its peak. And Jungkook was not the only one who felt angry at Bogum's shamelessness.

In particular, Namjoon mobilized all the information they had to track down everything about Bogum. However, surprisingly, no source of suspicion could be found in Bogum. He was so clean. 

And that really made Namjoon wonder.

Bogum, He is the head of an entertainment agency. Of course, his father was his superior, but everyone knew that at some point Bogum became the real power there. JK Entertainment was not a small entertainment company that only managed a few singers or musicians. They were dealing with the overall music business, including solo singers, idol groups, and various types of bands. In addition, they managed numerous actors and models, and were a super-large agency with enough funds and manpower to even produce movies and dramas themselves.

Namjoon wondered why Bogum's family didn't try to separate JK Entertainment from JK Group. JK Group had over 50 subsidiaries, and among them, JK Entertainment was one of the affiliates with the highest operating profit. Furthermore, it is no exaggeration to say that JK Entertainment, unlike other affiliates, had investments from the group, but grew through the efforts and abilities of the Bogum family. Of course, the foresight of Chairman Jeon Hyeop, who predicted the vision of the entertainment industry before anyone else and recruited and invested in their company, was definitely worthy of praise. But still, an entertainment business cannot succeed with money alone.
