18. Perverted Idiot

Third Person POV :

On the 13th floor of a skyscraper in the heart of city housing JK Publications, the atmosphere was charged with tension. A man with strikingly handsome features hurried through the bustling office, phone wedged between his shoulder and ear, both hands laden with a stack of papers. Around him, the hum of activity resonated; the anticipation of a new book release had everyone on edge.

Suddenly, he felt a presence behind him. "Excuse me?" A voice broke through the chaos just as his call dropped. He spun around, frustration flickering across his face before he kept the papers on a nearby table and hastily stashed his phone in his pocket, his brow furrowing, though he managed a professional smile, "Yes?"

"I need to meet the CEO," the newcomer stated, an air of determination about him.

The handsome man raised an eyebrow. "Sorry, he's busy right now and doesn't want to meet anyone. Do you have an appointment?"

"I'm Min Yoongi," the man said, flashing his ID with assertive confidence.

"Apologies, Mr. Min. I'm Cha Eun Woo... Chief Editor here." Eun Woo extended his hand, his professional smile barely concealing the concern brewing beneath the surface. Yoongi shook his hand but didn't let go of his intense gaze.

"What brings you here? Is there a problem?" Eun Woo's curiosity betrayed his intuition; a detective's presence rarely signaled good things. The CEO was not only his boss but also his friend.

"Nothing to fret about... I just need his input on a case. Please let him know I'm waiting."

"Of course. Please have a seat. I'll send someone to inform him."

As Yoongi settled into a nearby chair, hushed whispers of employees swept through the office reached his ears.

"Why is he so worked up? I've never seen him lose control like this, or mess up with work," one employee murmured.

"I know! He's moved the book's release date from two months to next week! How are we supposed to finish everything in time?" the other replied.

"Right? The final edits aren't even done, And the designing and marketing teams are scrambling. It's chaos out there! He's never this aggressive."

"He was always kind and friendly with everyone...never like this...shouting and yelling at everyone today. I wonder if something has set him off."

"It's not just today. You would've seen how he has been for the past few days...but today is just another level. He almost fired Mrs. Song if it was not for Eunwoo-ssi." The tension in the words was palpable.

Yoongi's expression hardened. He could piece together what had driven the normally composed CEO into his beast mode. He was the catalyst for this upheaval, and he couldn't help but feel a touch of satisfaction. One of the reasons he came here today...to know the influence of the chaos he'd inadvertently created.

The whispers revealed that the usually cheerful Jimin had been on edge ever since Taehyung had shown up at Jungkook's place.

Perfect. Yoongi smirked, confidence swelling as he recognized he already had the answers he needed without confronting the young CEO directly.
