Chapter 2

"I'm getting married to who?! Jeon Jungkook?!" Screeched a 20-year old, orange-headed Kim Taehyung early in the afternoon, he would call it a morning because he would usually wake up around 2 to 3 in the afternoon and he hated actual mornings the most, in the middle of the streets and he stared wide-eyed at his mother, Kim Hyemi, a woman around her forties who looked quite young compared to her actual age. Her elegance wasn't one to be ignored and she looked classy in her dark, simple pencil skirt and white button up shirt, a large fur coat covering most of her outfit except for the matching white heels that can never be neglected by people who passed by as they click-clacked against the pavement.

They were walking to the company's building from a coffee shop that wasn't very far apart. Only a few blocks away and you might be wondering why didn't they get in the fancy limousine to the building. Well, Mrs. Kim is not like the other stuck up rich ladies who preferred riding in limos even if the distance is a proper walking distance. She was different, she loved walking and taking her time with her odd son and she loved coffee too.

His mother sent the bright haired boy a small glare, silently asking him to quiet down because attracting people's attention on the streets was the last thing she wanted at that moment. Upon seeing his mother's oh-so-scary glare as he would call it, Taehyung started to grin uncontrollably like a dumbo, a contrast to his usual flirty playboy image.

"Mom, how did you know I have the hots for that smartass?" Taehyung grinned still, linking his arm with his mother's and she raised an eyebrow, amused at her only son's odd behavior. When she realized what he had called the angelic heir of the Jeon Company, she pinched the male's arm and twisted it, earning a small, controlled yelp from the other.

She stopped walking once they were inside of the company's building and faced Taehyung who was rubbing his arm with a disgustingly cute pout forming, his mother rolling her eyes at him. "Be respectful, Kim Taehyung or I will take your car away along with your credit cards and the apartment. You can't back out from this." She said and regained her composure as the staffs lined up, greeting their CEO with a bow of their heads. "Hello, Madam Kim."

Mrs. Kim nodded her head in acknowledgement and made her way towards the elevator with a sudden flirty Taehyung following behind her. He threw a wink at a girl who scurried away with a blushing face and Taehyung smirked, only to have it fade away when he saw his mother with her arms crossed across her chest and a now-very-scary glare shooting right towards him. He smiled sheepishly and ran off to his mother, a hand on his nape as he pressed on the huge 20 that would bring them to Mrs. Kim office immediately on the twentieth floor.

The woman sighed and shook her head, "You'll be meeting Jeon Jungkook tonight so I want you to look presentable-" Her words were cut off when they entered the elevator by none other than Kim Taehyung himself, his smug smile visible for everyone to see. "I always look presentable, mom. You got nothing to worry with that one."

"-And that means off with the orange hair."

Upon hearing that, Taehyung widened his eyes and a loud whine emitted from the back of his throat, a not-so-manly one at that. "But mom! I like my orange hair!"

Mrs. Kim clucked her tongue, "I want it to be dyed back to brown or black as soon as possible. Choose your pick." And she smirked, it resembled so much of the boy himself. It would be easy to notice that they were mother and son.

Taehyung's shoulders slumped and he threw a look in protest towards the elegant woman, only to have her laugh at her supposedly playboy x flirty son acting like a child throwing a tantrum. He was twenty, for Heaven's sake. He should be acting more mature than being down in the dumps because he has to change his hair color!

The door opened, revealing the fancy looking office. The whole twentieth floor was Mrs. Kim and it was huge. It was well arranged, a ground-to-ceiling length window that showed a great view of the city. A gigantic bookshelf filled with books that stood on the same height as the grand window was placed against the wall on the far right of the office, next to it was an ebony table with a MacBook on top of it and there was a dark colored L-shaped couch with a 50-inch flat LED screen plastered to the wall. To top it all off, a mini bar was present at the left corner of the place, near the lounge. To say the least, it was expected from the CEO of the Kim Corps.

Entering the grand interior of the CEO's office, Taehyung stopped protesting about changing his hair color even though he still wanted to keep it the way it was at that moment but he knew better than to go against his mother's words. Even though he was a reckless troublemaker who goes around creating chaos, sleeping around, getting drunk and all of those weird things young people do nowadays, he had a good attitude towards his mother and that made him a little bit more tolerable.

Mrs. Kim sat at her table and checked the papers placed on the table. "I suggest that you go and get ready now, Taehyung. It's 2 already. You have 4 hours to get ready." She said without looking up from the papers.

Taehyung just grinned and kissed his mother's cheek, patting her arm. "I'll go now. Don't miss me too much, mom." He winked and smirked to himself, only to have his mother shaking her head at his usual odd behavior and muttering something along with the lines "How did I get a son like him" and "He's too odd to be one of me". It didn't go unnoticed by Taehyung, he laughed merrily to his mother's words as he exited the office, saluting his mother with a grin.

Once the doors closed, he smirked at the thought of his date later on. "Jeon Jungkook. Finally I get the chance to meet you again."
