5:00 A.M.

Jungkook's eyes slowly opened to the sound of his phone ringing continuously. He groaned and picked up the call.

"Hello?"

"Good morning, Sir. I'm sorry for calling you so early. But I have some urgent news about the Calvin Klein photoshoot that's been delayed for months. The team needs you right now." Sara, his assistant, said in an apologetic manner.

Jungkook quickly threw off the blanket and got out the bed, focusing on what his assistant is saying.

"Okay, I'll be right there." He said and cut the call. He quickly did his morning routine and freshened up. He didn't have time to wear a suit so opted for a casual look, pairing a white shirt with blue jeans.

He took his car keys and rushed downstairs. He was in so much hurry that he completely forgot about Taehyung and the kiss. He saw one of the maids in the garden and approached her to inform that he has an urgent work in his office so he's leaving. He also asked her to inform the family members about this, making it clear that he didn't want to disturb them in this early morning to which the maid nodded. And with that, he got in his car and drove to his office.

Upon reaching, he asked Sara to set up a video call with the Calvin Klein team, the ones who were responsible for photoshoot delay.

Within few minutes, Sara set up the call and Jungkook's computer screen lit up with faces of Calvin Klein team. They appeared nervous.

"Good morning, Mr. Kim Jungkook. I'm Austin." One of them said, trying to sound cheerful.

"Good morning. What's the status of the photoshoot? You guys have been delaying this for months." Jungkook replied, his tone was professional.

Austin gulped, "We have decided to do the photoshoot today."

Jungkook was shocked, his face darkening with anger, "What? Are you serious? You want to hold the photoshoot today?"

"Y-yes, Mr. Kim–"

"Are you guys out of your mind? You're the one who delayed the photoshoot and now you want to do it today? You expect me to fly from Korea to New York today? That too without any preparation?"

"I understand your frustration and anger, Mr. Kim. We accept that this is completely our fault but sir please try to understand. We're now ready and the other model, who's collaborating is ready too." Austin said before taking a glance at the other team members.

Jungkook furrowed his eyebrows, "Huh? Another model? What are you talking about? There's no collaboration. I'm the solo model for this photoshoot."

Austin's eyes widened and he looked at the members and whispered, "Nobody informed Mr. Kim about it?"

Jungkook was losing all his patience, "Mr. Austin, please stop whispering and talk about this matter professionally."

Austin turned his full attention to Jungkook and apologized. "My apologies for not informing you about this collaboration before, Mr. Kim. We thought having two models would be good for this photoshoot. We're extremely sorry. Please give us a chance."

Jungkook pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed. Everything is a mess right now. His personal life, his work life, both are a mess.

"Okay," He said after thinking a lot, "I'll do it. Ms. Sara please arrange the flight or book the tickets. We have to reach there by tonight."
