"Where are the packages?" Jungkook asked talking to Jimin over the phone. He just transferred two months ago from his old condo unit to a house he just bought. And Jimin offered to design the interiors for free. Jimin said Jungkook's design choices are old-fashioned and boring so he wanted to change the curtains, the carpets, and some figurines. The curtains will arrive today but the delivery is already late by 5 minutes.

"They are coming. I will visit your home later tonight. Just give me some moment. I don't need you whining over small things and yes I'm still in search of your groom so shut up and get lost." Jimin's voice sounded annoyed. He usually rants like a rapper every time Jungkook questions him.

Jungkook, without saying anything back, dropped the call and just in time, Taehyung went inside his office. "The packages are in the lobby. I already parked the van at the driveway."

Jungkook nodded, stood up, grabbed his coat, and walked out of his office. "Chairman Jeon called, he's asking for a meeting."

Jungkook mumbled a curse. His father keeps on bothering him. They just had a meeting two days ago and now, he's asking for another one. He's giving him a headache ever since he asked his father to give him a month to present his boyfriend to him.

Whenever they ride the elevator and the door opens, once the employees saw that it's Jungkook inside the elevator, they will walk back and will never ride the lift. Taehyung will only smile and wave at them looking apologetic. People usually dispersed whenever Jungkook will walk in the lobby or in the hallway. Jungkook has an impassive expression and deadly gaze that no one dares to look at.

One of the building securities opened the door of the van as soon as they saw Jungkook coming.

Jungkook counted the boxes before facing Taehyung to signal him that it's ready for loading. Taehyung raised his hand. The security rushed inside the lobby to help Taehyung carry the boxes. They piled them on the seats in the middle of the car before closing the door. The security bowed at Jungkook before the latter hopped at the passenger seat and Taehyung took the driver's seat.

"Call Jimin and tell him the deliveries arrived," Jungkook said resting his head at the headrest. He massaged his temple while looking outside.

Taehyung started the engine and nodded. "Yes, boss. In your mansion now?"

"Yes, please." Jungkook waited until Taehyung informed Jimin that the curtain delivery has arrived. "Did my father say anything else?"

Taehyung hesitated to answer Jungkook's question. He knows that Jungkook is already stressed about getting married and he doesn't want to add up. But at the same time, he doesn't want to be yelled at.

"Taehyung, I'm talking to you!" Jungkook raised his voice.

Taehyung took a deep breath before answering. "He's asking if you really have a boyfriend."

Jungkook glared at Taehyung. "And what did you say?"

Taehyung flashed a boxy smile. "Of course boss, I said you have."

Jungkook sighed. "I wonder why he's so frustrated about me having a boyfriend. Honestly, that hierarchy stuff is bullshit."

Don't say bad words.

"What did you say?!" Jungkook's gaze is piercing making Taehyung uncomfortable.

"I'm not saying anything, sir." Taehyung sounded more confused than scared.

"No, you mumbled something." Jungkook insisted, his voice annoyed.

Taehyung shook his head. "I swear sir. I'm not saying anything."
