[••••••••••••••••••••••••]

It's been three days since the dinner with his parents and since then, Taehyung's mind is filled with the thought of that guy he would have to marry.

"Jeon Jungkook." His father says, breaking the silence.

"Huh?" Taehyhung asks, his mouth filled with salad. He is trying to distract himself by stuffing his mouth until he could barely breath.

"The Son of the CEO, his name is Jeon Jungkook. An attractive and smart boy." His father answers, smiling proudly.

'Jungkook, hm?' Taehyung decides to just continue to eat, not knowing what to say right now.

"An attractive and smart boy..." Taehyung is laying on his bed, staring at the ceiling while talking to himself.

His parents know he is gay and they are totally fine with it. Of course they were shocked, but accepted it right after. He always says that he wants to meet a nice guy, go out with him for a few years and then, when Taehyung feels he's the right one, he wants to marry that guy.

'Well, at least my parents saved me from spending my time with somebody I might wouldn't marry in the end.' Taehyung thinks, trying to stay positive.

It is complicated; of course he doesn't want to marry a total stranger at the age of 22, but on the other side, he doesn't want the company to slowly crumble until nothing is left.

And he definitely does not want to disappoint his parents.

So he stays strong. No matter what happens, he is going to save the company. Even if he has to marry somebody he has never met before. And besides;

'Why would the CEO only help us, if I'm willing to marry his son? That doesn't sound right...'

The brunette boy is still mumbling to himself when his phone shakes him out of his trance. He looks at the caller ID.
'Oh, it's Jimin! Perfect timing, now I can tell him about everything that happened.

Even though Taehyung and Jimin have been friends since forever, they don't have the time to meet as often as they used to.u They are busy working and dealing with adult-shit. Really no fun. And since they don't get to talk as much anymore, Taehyung has not been able to tell his childhood friend that he's going to marry, even though he never even had a relationship before.

"Hey Chim Chiiimmmm!"

"Heyy Taetaeeeee! How've you been? It feels like ages since we last talked!"

"Yeah, it really does. I...have some weird shit going on right now, but I'm doing pretty good. And you?"

"Nah, it's been a little stressful the past days, but I guess I don't need to tell you about work making somebody exhausted. I actually wanted to ask if you are free right now. We could meet at a new Cafe that opened a few days ago, to catch up and talk, you know?"

"Hell yeah dude, I'll be there! How was the name again?"

"Army Café."

"Okay, see you there."

Taehyung hangs up and gets ready, excited about seeing his best buddy after such a long time.

'Now i just need to think about a way to tell Jimin everything  without him getting a heart attack...' He thinks, putting on his shoes and grabbing his jacket before leaving his flat, locking it behind him.

Jimin always says that if Taehyung ever gets a lover, he would personally check him to see if he's good enough for Tae.

Well, that's not necessary anymore.
