The garden size of an entire football field, illuminated by soft, warm lights hanging from the elegant pergola. A long polished table set beneath with white pristine linen, sparkling crystal glasses, silverwears with food that look too uncommon to use. Just common for the people with money to eat on. The mouth watering aroma of food served by the attentive waitstaff. It brings Jimin to puke but he's aware he'd rather die than embarrass his father.

He's at the table, his posture perfect, but mind elsewhere. To his left, his father, a man who's ambition overshadowed his love for his family. He is engaged in a conversation with Mr Kim, Jimin's girlfriend's father, a very important figure among the donation committee.

His stepmother, poised and elegant, adding only occasional comments that seemed to be pre prepared to flatter and agree with whatever was being said.

"Your hospital growth is truly remarkable, Mr. Park," Mr. Kim commented, his voice smooth yet assertive. "I'm always impressed by institutions that prioritize expansion and quality care."

"Oh, thank you, Mr Choi," Jimin's father replied, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, "We're always trying to improve. Of course, contributions from esteemed patrons like yours play a very significant role in our success I must say."

Sora, Jimin's girlfriend, sat beside him, her radiant and charming presence a complete different contrast to what he is feeling right now. She was the epitome of grace, her every movement refined and delicate. Across from them, her mom nodding approvingly, pleased with the discussions the men are having.

"Indeed, it is the backbone of success." Mrs. Kim added, her tone matching with the ambience. "We've always been supposed of the causes that align with our values."

Shifting slightly in his seat, feeling the weight of the evening passing down on him. He knew his father's game too well, the subtle compliments and acts to gain favour and secure donations. But his plan was something else, tonight. An agenda.

The sole reason he initiated a meet-greet of Sora's family with his. He knows his father must be very pleased with him.

The conversation seemed to flow seamlessly from the latest medical advancements to the upcoming charity gala, Jimin saw his opportunity. He cleared his throat softly, drawing everyone's attention towards him.

"Father, if I may," Jimin began, his voice luckily steady giveb the high tension in the air. "Since we're discussing yhe charity gala, I'd like to mention that I've been invited to attend a special event with Jungkook. It's a significance opportunity, and I wanted to ask for your permission to go."
