It was 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun filtered through the large windows of Jeon's Industry, casting a golden glow across the sleek, modern office. Jungkook sat behind his mahogany desk, the weight of the day evident in his furrowed brow as he meticulously reviewed a stack of files. The air was thick with the anticipation of an imminent, high-stakes meeting. Beside him, J-Hope leaned over the table, his usually cheerful demeanor replaced with a rare seriousness, while Namjoon tapped a pen rhythmically against his chin, deep in thought. Across the room, Jimin was pacing back and forth, a phone pressed to his ear. His voice was a low murmur, tinged with urgency as he conversed with someone on the other end. The room thrummed with a quiet intensity, each of them lost in their tasks, the seconds ticking away like a countdown.

Suddenly, the door swung open with a soft creak, breaking the heavy silence. A young man in his mid-twenties, with tousled hair and an easy smile, strolled in. His presence was like a breath of fresh air, a stark contrast to the room's tense atmosphere. Namjoon glanced up, a hint of exasperation in his eyes.

"Tae, when will you learn to knock?" he asked, a wry smile tugging at his lips.

Tae grinned, unfazed. "And miss the chance to catch you all in your natural habitat? Never."

Jungkook looked up from his files, his expression softening at the sight of Tae. "Did you bring the projections for the merger meeting?"

Tae nodded, pulling a folder from under his arm and handing it to Jungkook. "All here. I went over the numbers twice. We should be in a strong position."

Namjoon glanced at the clock and then back at Tae. "Good job, Tae. We need all the confidence we can get."

Tae nodded, his eyes gleaming with a sense of accomplishment. As his gaze shifted, he noticed Jimin, who had just ended his call and was walking towards them.

"Huh, Jimin-ah, what are you doing here? Weren't you supposed to be at Jeong-ah's PTA meeting?" Tae's question hung in the air, causing everyone to pause and look at Jimin with confusion.

"What do you mean? Why would I go to the PTA meeting? Jin-hyung went for that," Jimin said as he took a seat in front of Jungkook.

"What? Jin-hyung!? But...... Jin-hyung went to pick his mom up from the airport since she came back from her trip..." Tae's voice trailed off, and everyone shouted at the same time, "WHAT!!!?"

J-Hope's eyes widened. "He went to pick his mom up? But he was supposed to go to the parent-teacher meeting, right?"

Jungkook started to tense. "Guys, don't worry. He must have gone after that," he said, trying to calm himself.
