The night falls in mysterious ways. With the week going by so quick it was finally time to take off, it was the weekend. The way Jeongguk's weekend used to go before he got married is known to the entire nation. Seeing himself on the front page of magazines with his face flushed and everyone else's faces blurred was nothing new to him. His parents' nagging wasn't new to him; it was a habit that he just couldn't break out of.

He hasn't been to one ever since he got married because he has been trying to get used to his new life as a married man. A new home he comes to at night. It has all been a lot to handle. Though now that he has somewhat settled in, he is ready to go back into all that again.

Spending your weekends alone isn't something he is a fan of. Taehyung had a work dinner that he had to attend so he left for that and Jeongguk has no plans to stay at home when he can just go out and have some fun on his own or with someone else. Despite there has been some things on his mind that he needs to take off by drinking until he cannot think anymore.

The bar he was in at the moment was not on the popular side. It wasn't well known as it was a random downtown bar Jeongguk went to because he doesn't want to attract any attention as he now has another reputation to take care of than just his own. He was in full black, black jeans, black leather jacket and a black cap to make sure he's not that recognisable in public.

He was actively ordering drinks. He had some shots at first to warm up, to get into it, it wasn't hitting much as he had built up a tolerance. Now he just had a full glass of beer in his hands. Which he has been taking sips of every now and then. He has been on his phone but he finally put it down. It gets lonely when you are drinking alone. Jeongguk did call Jimin and Yoongi to come with him but both of them declined. Had other business that was more important to them.

So now he is sitting in this bar, feeling lonely. He can have company immediately if he wants to. There has been a group of girls who have been eyeing him ever since he walked in. They have been just giggling and staring at him again and again. He doesn't know If they recognised him or they just liked him on the spot. Whatever it may be, he's not sure if he wants to entertain any of them.

Coming into the night, he did think maybe he would hook up with someone but now that he's here, he doesn't know if he wants to. It feels wrong in a sense that he's married. Taehyung would give a fuck if he sleeps with someone and contractually, he can sleep with whoever he wants. It still feels...strange. Besides, there's a lot on his mind right now.

His day keeps flashing back to him. Work has been quite heavy on Jeongguk. Ever since his father came back from his business trip, he has been doing everything in his power to undermine Jeongguk and embarrass him. Every chance he gets he makes sure he takes full advantage of it. The similar thing happened today.

Flashback to the morning

The boardroom was buzzed with anticipation as Jeongguk stood in the front, going through his presentation, presenting his ideas for the betterment of their group. He has worked tirelessly on this presentation to make sure it was perfect. As the people sitting in the boardroom were the most influential businessmen of Seoul right now. Potential Investors if he says so himself. Among them sat his father with a smug look on his face as before the meeting he didn't just drop a bomb on Jeongguk.

His father revealed just five minutes before the meeting that the Jeon Group was almost near bankruptcy around the time he got married. There had been some cases about embezzlement running around in the company committed by one of the head executives and to make the media and people quiet there was a good amount of money spent. The word also got out to few of the most influential clients and many left.
