ch3 the dinner

Taehyung was dressed in a shimmering red blazer with a black hem. Black dress shirt and trousers. His hair was styled in soft curls, and he paired his look with embellished earrings. Completing his look with his Rolex and perfume, he was ready to make an impression on that woman he was supposed to woo away.

When he walked down the huge staircase down the hall, his bodyguard and father were already waiting.

He gave a polite bow and before lifting his body, his father harshly pulled his ear to look at the shining piece of jewel he wore.

The man ripped it away, least bothered if it made his son's earlobe bleed and threw it somewhere. He glared at his son and flicked his fingers at one of his men who came forward with something in his hands. Mr Kim took the box and opened it to a diamond Phoenix brooch. He pinned it to Taehyung's blazer hem and walked away without sparing a single glance.

Everything happened so fast that the brunette had no time to process. He quickly fixed his posture and followed his father to his Bentley.

"Kim Taehyung, what an honor you've graced my party with your valuable presence", Gicheol greeted the young man and offered him a glass of white wine. "Try this wine. Directly imported from our Italian winery. One of a kind", he winked.

Taehyung nodded with a smile and accepted the glass. He took a sip and was surely surprised by the taste. It wasn't the usual thick bitter fruity taste. It was smooth. Like the liquid kissed his taste buds and left them craving for more. "It's certainly one of the best I've ever tasted"

Jung Gicheol gave a proud grin.

Then they were joined by Mooyoung, "Mr Jung Gicheol, meet my father, President of Kim's Corp, Mr Kim Mooyoung"

The two men shook hands and greeted each other.

"Taehyung have you met my daughter?"

Taehyung shook his head.

"Let me go find her. I need you to meet her. She's amazing, I promise"

Taehyung nodded with a smile.

As soon as Gicheol left the group and got lost in the crowd, Mooyoung commented, "he seems to like you a lot within one meeting. I hope you don't ruin it"

Taehyung just nodded in response.

"Oh Dr Jungkook, finally you came", Yewon greeted her doctor with a warm smile.

Jungkook wore a mandarin collarless royal blue suit with a steel blue satin dress shirt. Undoubtedly he looked breath-taking and Yewon couldn't help but drool over his extravagant fashion sense.

"You said you didn't know fashion but I must say you look exquisite"

Jungkook blushed at the compliment and said, "Thank you. This belongs to Jimin Hyung. He's my neighbour and thankfully a model"

Yewon chuckled at how cute her doctor was. "well do thank Jimin on my behalf for blessing my vision this night", she eyed Jungkook up and down with a suggestive smile.

Jungkook blushed again.

"Are you sure you're gay?"

"stop flirting with your psychiatrist", he giggled, "and yes, I am very much gay, last I checked"

Yewon playfully pouted at that but she welcomed him to the event anyway.

Once they had their drinks in their hands, Jungkook analysed the crowd he just walked into. Some insanely rich people chatted over drinks. Munching on snacks once in a while but not that much. The alcohol being served was top-class. He couldn't help but feel his insecurity of being inferior to them all, kick in. But thankfully Yewon was an amazing host.
