"Yes. The well-known music composer. Also known as, Suga"


"Why do you want to meet him Tae? Mr. Bo already has an appointment with a music composer right?"

Tae put finger on his lips, indicating at the receptionist who was talking to a customer.

"What's wrong?" Hobi whispered.

"Just play along" 

Hobi made a perplexed face. Tae searched for Suga's PA's number and rang.

"Hello?"

"Am I speaking to Min Yoongi's PA?"

"Yes. How can I help you sir?"

"I'm Kim Taehyung, Director Bo's assistant."

"What?" Hobi mouthed without making sound.

Tae continued, "We'd like to appoint him for the new film we're working on. And it's urgent"

"I understand, sir. But he'll not be accessible unless you inform a month prior at least. He already has schedules to attend" the lady stated politely.

"Oh!"

'But the director won't wait till then Damn it!' 

"If not meet, can I at least speak to him once?"

"Sure sir. I'll connect the line to him" She rang his number, but he did not pick up.

"His phone must've run out of battery, sir"

"You mean you're not with him right now?"

"No sir. He went alone on a vacation. He must be heading back now. I'll let him know once he returns to England"

"When will he visit Korea again?"

"Not so soon sir. Like I said, he already has schedules planned in various countries this year."

"Ok. Please do call to this number if he calls back within an hour."

"Sure sir"

"Thank you" Tae hung up.


"Care to explain what's going on?" Hobi was relieved that he could finally talk.

"I don't have time for that. If you wanna be useful, give me an idea on how to contact him now."

Well...you can't. He left to the airport almost 40 minutes ago. It takes 2 hours by car from here. Even if we start now, we won't be able to catch up with him."

"But one should report 2 hours before boarding, right? So he'll still be at the airport by the time we reach."

"Haven't you heard, buddy? He bought a private jet recently. He need not wait so long if he is going to fly in his own plane"

Tae let out a sigh, giving up.

"But what if you try contacting someone who is in the airport itself?"

"Yeah right... you have the number of the airport manager?" Tae asked satirically, and Hobi glared. 


They turned to leave, when Tae suddenly stopped with a thoughtful face "Maybe you're right. There might be a way to contact someone at the airport"

He turned to the receptionist. "Excuse me; can you please check your guest list for anyone who will check in tonight?"

The lady searched in the computer. "There are three customers who will be arriving shortly sir."
