But this case was different, he immediately agreed to invest in her company and he didn't know the reason behind this.
Aera was in her cabin, working on her laptop while checking through some paperwork. Then suddenly someone knocked on her door,
"Come in," she said while looking at her computer screen.
"I came here because I was getting bored in my office," he said while sitting on the couch.
"YAAAH Jungkook don't you have any work to do, we just got the investment, ain't the finance department working over it," she said while annoyed by Jungkook's morning deed.
"Are you still mad at me?"
"My heart hurts," he said while clutching his hand over his chest and looking at her in disbelief.
"The heart is on the left side you dumbo," she said while chuckling over his cute behavior".
"Actually, I don't have one, because I have already given you that," he said while winking at her"
"I don't take someone else's property," she said shrugging her shoulders.
"Ouch..that hurts," he said again in a dramatic tone.
They both laughed together.
They were interrupted by the knock on the door.
"Come in," she said.
"Ma'am, actually Mr. Kim is here to meet you," said her secretary.
"Let him in," she said getting up from her chair.
Then, Taehyung entered her cabin.
He shook hands with Aera and Jungkook as they sat on the couch.
"It's nice that I met you here Mr. Jeon". Taehyung said while smiling at Jungkook.
"Same here, but you can call me Jungkook I won't mind and you are also older than me," Jungkook said while smiling.
"Sure," said Taehyung.

"Why don't we go to the cafe it's already lunchtime," Jungkook said.

"Won't you join us?" Jungkook said while looking at Aera.

~Time Skip~
09:00 PM
Taehyung reached his penthouse and saw Jimin with some papers in his hands...
"What are you doing here, " Taehyung asked.
"I came here to give you more evidence related to that accident". Jimin said while giving those papers to Taehyung.
Taehyung clenched his jaw as he saw the old newspaper and other documents.
He put them aside as he sat on the couch massaging his temple.
"I will see them tomorrow". Taehyung said while stretching over the couch.
"As you want, btw how was your meeting" Jimin asked.
"The deal is finalized". Taehyung said while smiling at the thought of Aera.
"Whassup with you dude," Jimin asked, curious after seeing a sudden change in Taehyung's mood.
"I don't know but she makes me feel different," he said while being in his thoughts.
"Who?" jimin asked surprised.
"Aera....Choi Aera" Taehyung said.
"I don't think those feelings of yours towards her will last for long" With that Jimin got up from the couch and walked out of the house.
Taehyung got confused at his friend's sudden remark but decided to shrug it off.
He spent the next few days digging into the Choi family's history. Every piece of information he found only deepened his suspicion.
His eyes darkened when he saw some photos of a girl. As he connected the dots, all the evidence points towards Aera. Taehyung felt mixed emotions —anger, hurt, determination, and an unexpected sense of loss.
~Next Mroning~
Taehyung stormed into his office, his eyes burning with rage. His grip tightened around the edge of his desk as he stared at the financial reports spread before him. Aera's Company, with its gleaming success and flourishing business, was a constant reminder of his vendetta.
"How dare she?" he seethed, his voice deep and menacing. "Aera's empire will crumble beneath her feet, and I will be the one to make it happen."
With a fierce determination, he reviewed his holdings. 20% of her company's shares were already in his grasp, but it wasn't enough. He wanted more. He wanted the lead. He wanted to see her on her knees before him.
"I'LL DESTROY HER,"
Taehyung growled, his anger palpable. "I'll acquire the majority shares, no matter whatever it takes. I'll turn her investors against her, one by one, until there's nothing left of her precious company."
His plan was ruthless, his resolve unshakeable. Taehyung would stop for nothing to see Aera's downfall. He would manipulate, he would scheme, and he would ensure that every step he took led to her ruin.
"This is just the beginning," he vowed, his voice a dangerous whisper. "By the time I'm done, Aera won't even know what hit her. Her company will be mine, and she'll have nothing left but the ashes of her dreams."
The fire in Taehyung's eyes burned brighter as he mapped out his strategy. There was no turning back now. His wrath would consume everything in its path, and Aera's downfall would be his ultimate triumph.
