Important Business

Part 7

A/N: Before this part, I have to tell you that in this story, Korean society is a bit more open and moderate.

Please enjoy, might see you next week. :)

The elevator signals their arrival and Jungkook heads out after the others. They just had a quick lunch and he feels too full and sleepy.

"How far are you with the Cartier job?" Yoongi asks and they halt in front of his office. Hoseok and Jimin stop in their tracks as well, looking expectantly at him.

"Hoseok and I have selected the pictures for post processing and will present them to the client tomorrow," Jungkook answers and Hoseok nods.

"I already had meetings about how to present the campaign," Jimin replies. "The short clips and introductions are produced. We will hold the deadline."

"Perfect," Yoongi nods. "You are doing good," he says and enters his office.

Their boss was laid back and balanced, and Jungkook liked that about him, but he still had to get used to it. Yoongi was a creative team player and Jungkook liked him for it. His old boss was very outgoing and was getting on Jungkook's nerves with his narcissistic behavior.

Jungkook walks to Hoseok's office and they stand back in front of the monitor to proof more of the photos with Taehyung.

"He is so photogenic it is scary," Hoseok mumbles.

"It's still mind boggling that Cartier made such a thing out of it," Jungkook answers.

"I told you his popularity is off the charts," he says.

Hoseok grabs a remote and turns a TV on and searches for a program. He halts on an entertainment show.

Some other actors and idols are shown and soon enough, a new segment comes on, showing Taehyung walking a red carpet in a suit, attending a movie premiere.

"Of course they showed him and made a clip about him, though it is not his movie."

Jungkook watches Taehyung, how he interacts with the woman next to him. He looks comfortable with her and close, and Jungkook wonders if he misunderstood Taehyung. The news segment has ended, and Hoseok turns the TV off, but Jungkook's mind still stays with Taehyung.

They had exchanged numbers at dinner with the crew, and Taehyung had promised to contact him when he had time to show him Seoul. That had been two weeks ago.

Jungkook still thinks of Taehyung, how he had looked at him. Jungkook remembers his own pleased surprise, but also confusion if he understood him correctly, and the sadness that overcame him when he remembered his own rule. Taehyung had looked embarrassed for a second, a feeling Jungkook didn't want for him to have. He didn't want to humiliate him.

Jungkook looks back at the monitor, his eyes wandering over Taehyung's familiar face now. He is still grateful he could work with him, but at the same time wistful about his own rule.

"Hyung?" Jungkook asks quietly and Hoseok looks at him questioningly with raised eyebrows.

"Is Kim Taehyung in a relationship?"

Hoseok turns to Jungkook completely, giving him his full attention.

"Are you thinking about the woman next to him?"

"Yes."

"She is only an actress. They have known each other for ages."

"So he isn't?"

His hyung grins. "I don't know if he is. Could be. But it's a known secret that he likes men."

Jungkook feels his eyebrows shoot up in surprise. "A known secret?"
