Jungkook entered the office, holding Jae's hand as they walked at a slow pace. The morning air was crisp, and Jae, bundled up in a small coat, was clutching his father's hand tightly. As they approached the gallery, Taehyung spotted them and greeted them warmly.

"Hey, Jungkook! You're here early," Taehyung notes, raising an eyebrow. "Why did you want to go to my father's office so soon?"

Jungkook laughs nervously, rubbing the back of his neck. "I tend to get anxious when I'm nervous, and being early helps calm me down."

Taehyung chuckles softly. "No worries, it's fine. We can wait in my father's office. Come on, I'll take you there."

Jungkook nods, relieved that Taehyung doesn't find his early arrival suspicious. They make their way to Taehyung's car, with Jungkook carrying Jae in his arms. As they drive to Kim Enterprises, Jungkook's mind races. He has come early on purpose, hoping to find some time to look around Mr. Kim's office. He just needs to find a way to ensure Taehyung isn't around while he does so.

On the way during the small talks Jungkook jokes, "If this deal goes through successful, then dinner on me tonight,"

Taehyung laughs, "I never say no to free food and besides I know you will get it, don't worry,"

Once they reach Kim Enterprises, Taehyung guides them inside. The receptionist, who recognizes Taehyung, greets them politely. Taehyung speaks briefly with her before returning to Jungkook.

"My dad's in a meeting right now, but we can wait for him in his cabin," Taehyung says.

Jungkook nods, following Taehyung as they make their way to the cabin. As they settle inside, Jungkook looks around the room, scanning for anything that might be useful. He needs a way to convince Taehyung to leave the cabin for a while.

He glances at Jae in his arms and an idea forms. He looks at Taehyung with a slightly worried expression. "Hey, Taehyung, do you think you could do me a favor?"

Taehyung looks up from his phone, concerned. "Sure, what is it?"

"Jae's been a bit fussy this morning. I think he might need something to eat or drink. Could you possibly take him to the cafeteria and get him something? He loves apple juice."

Taehyung's face softens, and he nods. "Of course, I can do that. Anything for little Jae. I'll get him something nice."

Jungkook smiles gratefully. "Thanks, Tae. I appreciate it. It'll give me a chance to gather my thoughts before the meeting."

Taehyung walks over and extends his arms towards Jae. "Hey, buddy, wanna go with me to get some yummy apple juice?"

Jae, who is initially clinging to Jungkook, perks up at the mention of apple juice and reaches out for Taehyung. "Apple juice!"

Taehyung lifts Jae into his arms, smiling at Jungkook. "We'll be back soon. Take your time."

As soon as Taehyung leaves with Jae, Jungkook springs into action. He sends a text to Yoongi

He quickly starts rifling through Mr. Kim's desk and drawers, searching for anything that might be helpful. Most of the papers he finds are financial statements or deal contracts. In the last drawer, he discovers a small locker.
