A love beyond words

While heading to the bar area, Jungkook had already messaged Jimin that he was with Taehyung, so he wouldn't worry about him. Jimin was busy with a few businessmen who were offering to take Jungkook under their label.

Now, both Taehyung and Jungkook were sitting silently, sipping wine from their glasses. Jungkook looked with a small smile at people and celebrities busy dancing or with their partners, while Taehyung glanced at Jungkook.

Though many celebrities and Taehyung's business partners came to congratulate them, it was still relatively peaceful for both males since others weren't disturbing them much. Soon, someone from the crowd shouted, "Let's dance! Come on, everyone, don't be so lazy and get on the stage!" Hearing this, Jimin went to look for Jungkook, knowing he wouldn't like to dance with someone else.

A hand appeared before Taehyung; he gazed up and saw Lee Ji-Eun standing there, smiling. "Would you like to dance with me, Taehyung?" Taehyung simply nodded his head and said to Jungkook, "I'll see you later, Mr. Jeon," before heading to the dance floor with her.

Taehyung and Ji-Eun were childhood friends, and she had been in a publicly announced relationship for the last six years.

"Jungkook, I was looking for you," Jimin said, placing a hand on his shoulder. "It's okay, hyung; Mr. Kim was with me, and I already told you that," Jungkook replied reassuringly.

"I know, but I know you're not comfortable dancing with someone; it leads to scandals. So I came here just in case you had a problem," Jimin said, sitting in front of Jungkook.

Kook chuckled and shook his head. Soon, the party was about to end, and everyone was leaving. Both Jimin and Jungkook spotted Taehyung with some celebrities and thought to bid him farewell before leaving.

They made their way to him, and Jimin called, "Mr. Kim." Taehyung turned and saw them standing. "We'd like to leave now, Mr. Kim," Jimin said.

"Sure, Mr. Jeon and Mr. Park. I hope you enjoyed the party," Taehyung said, smiling while looking at both.

"Yes, Mr. Kim, we enjoyed it a lot, and thanks again," Jungkook said and bowed to him, along with Jimin.

"It's my pleasure to have you as our new face, Mr. Jeon," Taehyung said, chuckling and patting Jungkook's back.

Soon, both males were on their way and were extremely tired. The whole ride was silent. They reached home and directly went to bed to sleep.

On the other hand, after seeing off every guest, Taehyung returned home, and again, there was no one to welcome him. He felt a pang in his heart, knowing deep down it was his mistake. Shaking off these thoughts, he went to his bedroom, got freshened up, and slept.

Next morning, Tae woke up early and got ready for the office. He went to the hall and saw the maids cooking in the kitchen and others cleaning. His grandparents were still in their room, his father had gone jogging, and his mother was preparing breakfast for him.

Soon, his mother came to him and handed him his tiffin. "Finish this and come back home soon," she said, smiling, and returned to the kitchen.

Without a word, Tae sat in his car and drove to the office. This was his daily routine: waiting for his mother in the hall, and she would always told him to return soon, despite knowing he wouldn't.

There was always a heavy feeling in his heart. His mother's hopeful smile and longing gaze made him feel like he had failed as a son.

Reaching Kim Corporation, he went straight to his office. Employees bowed and wished him a good morning, to which he only hummed in reply.

He saw his secretary, Namjoon, standing outside his office. "Good morning, sir," said Namjoon.

"Good morning, Namjoon. What's the schedule for today?" Taehyung asked while entering his office, followed by Namjoon.

"Here's your schedule, sir. You have only two meetings today, one at 12:00 pm and another at 4:00 pm," Namjoon replied.

Tae hummed in acknowledgment and asked, "Did you prepare everything for tomorrow's shoot with Ji-Eun and Jungkook?" while reading some files.

"Everything is prepared, sir. We've already emailed Mr. Jeon and Miss Lee to arrive at 9:00 am," Namjoon said.

Tae nodded and dismissed him
