Love Me Again...

Chapter 2: Magic Shop

"Joon, please step on it!" yelled Jin, "You know I don't like being late for my own meetings!" Namjoon sighed and reassured Jin that he would get to the meeting on time. As soon as the car pulled into the office parking spot, Jin jumped out of the car and power walked into the building towards the elevator. Namjoon smiled as he watched his anxious husband speed walking. He grabbed his stuff and headed in himself. Even though Jin got to the elevator earlier, Namjoon still managed to get into the same elevator together. As soon as the doors closed, Jin melted into Namjoon's arms.

"I'm sorry Joon!" Jin exclaimed, "I'm just so nervous! We are going to be doing something big and there's so much riding on this project." "I understand Jin," Namjoon assured Jin while rubbing his back, "You will do well. I believe in you and this project. Now don't worry and take charge!" Jin looked up at his husband, gave him a quick peck on his lips and stepped out of the elevator. He walked up to the doors of the conference room, took a deep breath, opened the doors and walked in. He was greeted by his assistant Choi Soobin. He walked to his seat while Soobin set up his laptop and pulled up the presentation. "Has everyone arrived?" Jin asked. "No sir. You are 10 minutes early. The board members are still arriving," Soobin informed Jin.

Soon it was time for the presentation and Jin presented the Foundation's newest project to the board. The board consisted of prominent businessmen and government officials. The Foundation's newest project was going to be an Art Center in Busan. The Art Center would have  art, music and theater programs for kids from age 4-15 along with providing a gallery space for local artists to display their work. All of the board members were very impressed and realized the positive impact that it would have on the local community but were confused about the location. "Why Busan Mr Kim?" asked Mr Bae. "Because Busan holds a very special place in the hearts of my family," Jin replied, "Also Busan would greatly benefit from such a program don't you think Mr Bae?"

After the presentation, all of the board members voted to go ahead with the project. Jin was ecstatic! As soon as the meeting was over, he immediately made his way to Namjoon's office. Soobin called ahead to inform Wang Jackson, Namjoon's assistant about Jin's imminent arrival. Jackson made sure Namjoon would not be disturbed. Jin rushed into Namjoon's office and hugged him fiercely. "You did it!" Namjoon exclaimed, "I knew you would do it!" "Of course I did. I am Kim Seokjin afterall!" Jin replied confidently. "Let's surprise Kook this evening," Namjoon suggested, "He will be so happy. I'm glad we can finally fulfill his dream." "Now finally Kook will have a purpose. Something to keep him motivated and something to take him back to music," Jin nodded in agreement. "I need to get back to my office and start making arrangements. I'll need to contact a lot of people to get the ball rolling. Oh my goodness! There is so much to do and there isn't much time to get it all done," Jin was spiraling! Luckily, Namjoon knew how to calm his hyper husband. He immediately held his face, pulled him close and gave him a slow long kiss. When he felt Jin finally calm down, he slowly let go, smiling at him flashing his dimples.

Jin got back to his office still smiling and blushing. Soobin made a list of all the tasks that needed to be accomplished and shared it with Jin. "You've already made such a good start Soobin," Jin stated, "What would I do without you?" Soobin smiled and accepted the complement. He had been working with Jin for about 3 years and had slowly become accustomed to how he worked. Soobin suggested that Jin call Min Yoongi about finding suitable locations for the Art Center. "That's a good idea, as always," Jin agreed. Soobin left Jin's office and started working on other details of the project. "Jin hyung," Yoongi droned, "How may I be of service?" "Yoongi, I actually need your help this time. Our Art Center project got the green light from the board. I need your help finding locations for the center in Busan," Jin replied.

"I have just the location for you, Jin Hyung," Yoongi replied, "I have a warehouse there that's been shut down for a few months. I was considering selling it but I can donate it to the foundation. Would you like me to send you the details?" "Yes please! Thank you Yoongi!" Jin replied, "Will you be able to come to Busan with me to check out the warehouse?" "Actually, I have to leave for Tokyo tomorrow and I'll be there for a week. I can ask Jimin to accompany you. He is familiar with the warehouse and knows the local government officials as well," Yoongi offered. "That would be great. Now that I think about it, I can send Kook with Jimin. It's been a while since Kook visited Busan. I'm sure he will like the change of scenery," Jin replied. "Sounds like a plan. I'll ask Jimin to confirm with you and Jungkook then," Yoongi said before hanging up.

Jin called Soobin into his office. "Yes sir?" Soobin replied. "You will need to make travel arrangements to Busan for Kook and Jimin. I'll confirm the dates after I hear back from Jimin. What's next on the task list?" "The next item is publicity, Sir. We will need to arrange some sort of event to publicize the Art Center project," Soobin mentioned. "Soobin arrange a meeting with Hobi this afternoon to finalize the details," Jin stated, "I want this project to have a lot of positive publicity." Soobin left Jin's office and immediately called Choi Yeonjun, Jung Hoseok's assistant to set up the meeting. Yeonjun let Hoseok know about Jin's request and he immediately made his way to Jin's office. "Jin hyung, please don't be so formal!" Hoseok exclaimed, "You can meet with me any time, no appointments necessary!"

"Hobi! I know that! We need to have records for the Foundation that's why we need to have formal meeting times. Anyway, I need your help with setting up a publicity event for the Art Center project," Jin asked, "You have all the media connections and I want this project to have positive publicity from the start." "Sure hyung. Would you like a press conference or a charity banquet benefiting the Art Center project?" Hobi questioned. "Sir, if I may," Soobin interjected, "A charity banquet would not only promote the Art Center project but also garner plenty of goodwill." "How so Soobin?" Jin asked. "Sir, people can donate to the project by buying tickets to the banquet and feel like they are all contributing to the project," Soobin replied while Jin nodded in agreement. "Wonderful," replied Hobi, "I'll get started on the charity banquet then." "Arrange it for this weekend Hobi," Jin suggested.
