Eleven
Jimin groaned tiredly when his phone rang continuously. He was dead tired and he was so tempted not to answer but he had a business to run so he sat up on his bed and yawned tiredly before picking up the phone and looking at the screen. It was the alarm he had set and the time was six thirty.
There was still time to go to the office so he took he wasn't in a hurry and went out of his room. He went to the kitchen and poured himself a cup of orange juice but amidst all these, something was missing. He could feel that he had forgotten something important but what was it? He finished his juice and went to the bathroom then poured water on his face. That was when it hit him.
Water!
Fish!
Caviar!
He screamed and ran out of his room straight to Ahjumma Doo min's room. He barged in and found her still asleep in bed but the noise interrupted her and she woke up scratching her eyes. She looked up, surprised to see him.
"Sir, what are you doing here?"
"Ahjumma, I'm sorry to disturb you this early but i need a favor from you. I need you to get me Caviar"
Doo min stared at him. "Caviar? This early in the morning? Why?"
"It's personal" Jimin groaned.
Ahjumma Doo min shook her head and showed him her ankle which was bandaged.
"I twisted my ankle yesterday sir. Did you forget?"
Jimin groaned "Oh I'm so sorry. You rest! I'll take care of it"
Take care of it? Jimin didn't even know where to start. There was no way he could find such an expensive fish at that moment. He doubted supermarkets would even be open by that time.
Sighing heavily, he rushed out of Ahjumma Doo min's room, went to his own room and put on a jacket before grabbing his phone and car keys. He didn't even brush his teeth or wash his face. He still had morning breath when he jumped into his car and zoomed off at top speed. He couldn't believe he was doing this because of that jerk. The more he thought of him, the more he disliked him.
There where no shops open and it was a few minutes past seven. He went straight into town where people started opening their stores. Luckily for him, he was able to get the fish from one of the stores but it was so expensive. As he was buying it, he was already fuming with rage.
Next was to locate Taehyung's house. It wasn't much of a hassle to find the place. He lived in a popularly quiet well barred estate. Jimin stopped his car at the front of the gate and marvelled at the beauty of the three storey mansion. It was so huge and beautiful that Jimin couldn't stop gaping at it. It was one of the most beautiful houses he had ever seen. He pressed the bell close to the gate and immediately, he recognized Taehyung's voice in the intercom.
"Who's there?"
Jimin rolled his eyes. "It's me Jimin. Park Jimin"
There was a small silence before Taehyung's voice came up again.
"You are late Jimin. I don't need the Caviar anymore. You can go on your way now"
He had to be joking right now.
"What did you say? I should get going? Do you know what it took me to get this Caviar?" He screamed.
"I said you can leave Park Jimin"
Jimin scoffed. "By God Kim Taehyung, if you don't open this gate this minute, I'm going to rain hell on you" he threatened with teeth clenched.
In a few seconds, the gate opened by itself and Jimin drove into the large compound marvelling at the big garden and water fountain at the middle. He stopped his car in front of the huge mansion and got out of the car holding the Caviar in a nylon bag.
He went to the front door and pressed the bell. It took a while before the door opened and a young handsome man stood in front of him. He stared blankly at him. With the simple way he was dressed, Jimin could tell he worked here.
"Who are you?" he said straight forwardly.
"I'm Park Jimin. Your boss asked me to come with this"
He held up the bag to him and the man took it and looked inside.
"Caviar?" he whispered. At that moment Taehyung appeared behind the man. He had a small frown on his face.
"You are late!"
Jimin took a deep breath trying to control his foul mood.
"I'm not some errand boy Mr Kim. I hope this is the last time you ask me to do this sort of thing" Jimin said frowning deeply and Taehyung laughed.
"This won't be the last time. I've told you. You signed a contract with me which means that i own you. Don't forget you would be out of work by now if it weren't for me"
Jimin couldn't say anything to that because it was partly true. His phone began to ring in his pocket and he picked it up.
"Hello!"
"What? Now? I'll be right there" He shouted and turned to leave in a hurry.
"Yah! Where are you going?" Taehyung yelled
"There's an emergency meeting at my office. I have to be there"
Taehyung stared at him. "Dressed like that? You look terrible!"
Jimin eyed him. "Whose fault is it that I had to go round town early in the morning searching for a rare fish just to suit his appetite?"
Taehyung shrugged as he watched Jimin wrinkle his hair in agitation and dash towards his car while cursing under his breath. As he watched him, he couldn't help but smile. Jimin entered his car and drove past the open gate.
Jungkook looked at his boss noticing the weird smile on his face.
"Who's that man?" he asked.
Taehyung grinned. "Just some guy who owes me a favor"
Jungkook couldn't help it. Taehyung never had a full smile on his face. Never! But his eyes was shining while looking at that man plus the guy looked somewhat familiar.
"I think i know him from somewhere"
"Do you?"
Jungkook looked into his bag. "What should I do with this? You don't eat fish"
Taehyung faced him squarely with a thoughtful gleam in his eyes. "You know what, prepare the fish"
"What?" Jungkook blurted out quite shocked.
Taehyung didn't answer. He just smiled and entered back into the house. Jungkook had a feeling the man who just came is the reason why his boss has been acting so strange lately. He was relieved yet worried at the same time as he followed Taehyung into the house.
Jimin reached his company in record time. Some of the staffs had arrived early for work and they stared at his haggard appearance as he hurried past them.
"What the hell are you looking at? Get back to work!" He fired at them and they scampered away pretending not to look at him.
Jimin was embarrassed. This was all Taehyung's fault. This was the second time he was appearing like this. The first was during the fashion show and it all had to do with Taehyung. He had always had a clean cut image making sure he looks flawless at all times but nowadays he was a mess and it was really making people talk behind his back.
Jimin ran into the elevator leading him to the floor where his office was located. When he got out, he was met with Hoseok who had a shocked expression on his face as soon as he saw him.
"You look awful!" he cried.
"Tell me about it!" he whispered walking quickly towards his office.
Hoseok scrunched up his nose. "Is it just me or do you smell like fish?"
Jimin sighed. He didn't have the time or energy to explain anything to his friend. He entered the office and found Yuna standing waiting for him. She was open mouthed when she saw him.
"Morning sir" She greeted.
Jimin knew what she was thinking but she dared not voice it out or she was going to be in deep waters.
"The investors are waiting in the conference room" she added.
"Get me a suit as soon as possible"
"Of course sir" Yuna said and left the office.
Jimin went over to the bathroom. He had specially designed the office according to his taste. It was like a second home. When he would have inspirations for new ideas or had to work overtime, he ate and bathed in his office for days without going home. He took a quick shower and when he was done, he came out dressed in a white robe. Yuna was waiting for him with a black suit in her arms. He took the suit from her and she left him to change. Hoseok watched his friend as he dressed.
"I don't know what's going on with you lately but you need to sort yourself out"
He stopped for a while before continuing to speak. "Could this be because of Kim Taehyung?"
"Don't even mention his name!" Jimin said through gritted teeth.
Hoseok raised his eye brows suspiciously.
"Yah, are you sleeping with him? Are you cheating on Yoongi?"
Jimin scoffed. "Sleeping with Taehyung? That psycho? I would never cheat on Yoongi with that man"
He sighed "Look, it's complicated okay and one day, I'll tell you about it but for now, we have a meeting to attend"
Hoseok just shrugged. "You better!" he said.
Jimin was ready now. With a composed smile, he straightened himself.
"Shall we?" he whispered and they both left the office.
Thank you so much for reading! I might be taking a while to get to the main plot just bear with me. We'll be there soon. With that, Have a great day!
