Third Person POV

EVENT VENUE

"Hmmm everyone ready? There is no turning back once I open the front door." Hoseok warned the rest of them as he can clearly hear all the chatting sounds of guests and paparazzi outside the event hall.

"Let's get it Hosoekie Hyung. We are all done." Jimin grasped Yoongi's hand tightly. He looked at his boyfriend who flashed him a gentle gummy smile assuring everything will be fine.

They lined up in an order which left Taehyung to be the last one standing at the end away from the door. Hoseok was grasping both the handles of the door followed by the YoonMin couple and Namjin at the back, lastly Taehyung standing all alone in his glory.

He looked at his side and faintly remembered that it was suppose to be Jungkook standing there tall and strong being his armour. For now, he have to shield himself and he vowed he will. He closed his eyes and said a prayer to his angels and opened his eyes staring right at the door.

Let's get it.

(Quick outfit update)

.
Hoseok left an audible gasp and opened the two front door of the entrance revealing the magnificently decorated event venue leading to the main spot behind the boys.

As soon as the door was opened, countless paparazzi started to click their cameras away trying to get the exclusive view of the most elite group in the nation.

"Here! Here! Hoseok-shi"

"Over here Mr Park and Mr Min"

"Omg are they dating? Quickly take some pics! They are holding hands!"

"Mr Kim and Mr Kim! Look here please. Smile."

"He is really worldwide handsome."

Comments were flying across the crowd among the elites while they slowly moved forward approaching the door.

Seeing this, all the 5 males standing in front of the entrance parted their ways revealing the stunning interior of the venue leading to the main event.

"Come on in ladies and gentlemen. We hope you will have a great evening with us." Namjoon extended his warm welcome to the crowd while stepping aside.

As they parted, they opened up to reveal one person who was standing there confidently flashing his charming smile to the crowd.

"Woah Kim Tae Hyung."

"Taehyung shi. Here!"

"OMG, no wonder he is the sexist man alive in 2019!"

"World no 1 handsome face previously too! Here Mr Taehyung!"

Taehyung stood there gazing at the flashing crowd and took the opportunity to welcome them while he walked inside the tunnel to reveal a gorgeous outdoor setting opening the cozy space to the park.

It's a concept that no one have done before and he felt proud to be able to show this off to the public. Nailed it!

The setting and atmosphere at the event venue stunned every single person who stepped their foot inside. Their jaws dropped ajar with a lot of compliments being thrown at the boys for making this such a magical night in conjunction with Christmas without taking away the elite standard of the society.

As the crowd gathered around the venue, started their cocktails and canapés, Taehyung took the centre stage to open up the evening with his speech.

"Excuse me ladies and gentleman. May I have your kind attention please? Well, first and foremost, thank you for attending this annual K.Co Christmas campaign in order to raise fund for the children. We are very grateful for all your gracious participants in such short notice. Im deeply touched and feel humble by all your support."

The crowd applauded Taehyung for his thoughtful opening and allowed him to continue.

"Please also join me to give applause to the men behind the scenes, my trusted group of friends who are basically my support system, Mr Kim Namjoon, Mr Kim Seokjin, Mr Min Yoongi, Mr Park Jimin, Mr Jung Hoseok and Mr Jeon..Urm sorry..and that's all."

Taehyung adjusted his coat a little flustered by wrongly mentioning Jungkook. This was clearly noticed by his hyungs and also Shay Ken who was already smirking among the crowd ready to mess things up.

To avoid any further awkwardness, Seokjin pushed the boys up the stage and joined Taehyung while receiving the applause from the floor. He took over the mic politely from Tae to carry things forward.

"As Taehyung said, thanks for coming. We appreciate it. Now if we may, we will like to start off the auctions cum exhibitions. Please, extend your warm encouragement to our very own talented designer Mr Jung Hoseok who graciously donated his designs for this occasion."

Jin too clapped in between his speeches and smoothly kick started the event after introducing Hoseok's work.

Firstly, a brief video of the entire photo shoot and designs were played on the screen capturing everyone's attention. There were also some high end brand designers among the crowd who wanted to either purchase the clothes or just simply work with the boys.

As the video was playing, Taehyung can't help it but to sneak little peaks at the screen whenever Jungkook's image would flash by. He saw the video and saw how happy they both were in the clips. His heart ached a little more and he stayed still suppressing the upsetting feeling.
.
.
An hour or so went by and the event was ending smoothly. Millions and millions were donated/auctioned for all the works done by the boys. Some even wanted to purchase the portraits of the boys to be hung on their studio as a muse.

"So..we have the last male couple design outfit to be auctioned off. The starting bid for this will be 500,000 thousands as this was adorned by Mr Kim Taehyung and Mr Jeon Jungkook. Ladies and gentleman, start your bid in 3 2 1.." The announcer went off.

Taehyung who was sitting on the couch by the tree turned his focus from the group chat with his hyungs to the stage when he heard the last bid was going on.

He shifted uncomfortably on his seat seeing the outfit being portrayed at the stage with both his and Jungkook image at the back. He remember clearly looking at how godly Jungkook looked in that white ensemble. Damn! He gulped knowing his heart started racing with the mere thought about the younger.

"1 Million!"

"Make it 1.2 million"

"2 million!"

"Woah! They are seriously auctioning it at 2 million? Damn Tae! You and Jungkook are indeed the power couple!" Jimin chuckled and quickly shushed himself knowing he mentioned the forbidden word, which is Jungkook.

Taehyung glared at Jimin and shifted his gaze back to the stage while sipping his whiskey. He was so curious if it will go higher or it will be sold off at 2 million dollars.

Suddenly...

*clap clap

"Woah, you guys are really that serious to buy these piece of shit for 2 million?" A voice emerged form the crowd.

Tae and the rest stood up from their seat to get a better look at the owner of that voice.

"Seriously fellas? 2M for this? Do you all know how cheap this Taehyung is? He is not who he seems to be. Do you all want some juicy juice?" Shay is now at the centre stage taking over the mic.

"Mr Taehyung here, used the influence of my MNC partner's heir Mr Jeon Jungkook to create all these concept and even dated him briefly before dumping him prior to this event. He used Jungkook to his benefit and threw him out after that. Example A, you can see here, he is using Jungkook's influence to get this outfit to be auctioned at 2M when Jungkook is not even here. He is not even invited."

The crowd left out huge gasp and few are already talking crap about Tae and the others.

"Exactly guys! When he found out Jungkook decided to join hands with me, the truthful company who wish to expand the business to benefit the netizens, he switched the scheduled event few days prior to steal the spotlight. In a nutshell, Kim Taehyung can't stand being second. Isn't it KIM TAEHYUNG?"

Taehyung who is now boiling in anger clenched onto the glass in his hand and broke it into pieces, not minding the blood dripping on his palm.

"Fucking asshole. I'm gonna kill you." Taehyung mumbled while taking quick steps towards the stage.

"Tae. Taehyung. Stop. Control yourself." Seokjin pulled Tae's arm back when he sensed Tae started to lose his chill.

"I'm gonna kill that Shay myself if Tae doesn't do it." Jimin started throwing fist around Yoongi which needed the older to hold him in place.

"Taehyung. Stop. I'll get him." Namjoon quickly sent Jin a look to instruct him to hold his brother down while Namjoon walked to the stage gathering his securities from the side.

"Sir. I guess you're sort of being a disturbance to the event. May I ask you to step down so we can settle the event peacefully?" Namjoon stepped up and gave Shay a humble smile but not missing out his deadly glare.

"What? You're gonna deny your brother is an asshole? He cheated the public and taking the credits on his own? Don't lie to us, I know the money will go to his own account. The hell, it might even go to all yours." Shay didn't back off even a bit.

"Fucking bastard. That's it. He didn't just talk to Namjoon like that. Hoseok, hold Taehyung." Seokjin pushed Tae by the waist and handed him to Hoseok before stepping onto the stage. Hoseok quickly clapped into Tae's waist, holding him close.

"You listen to me little psycho head. First of all, you close that little shitty mouth of yours and stop accusing my brother, and secondly you have no fucking rights to talk to my boyfriend like that. You piece of asshole better apologise before I chop off your dick and serve it to the wild dogs out there you filthy snake." Jin whisper yelled at Shay close enough for him hear and inaudible for the audience.

Of coz Namjoon who was standing just there heard this and grinned softly knowing no one can mess with his lovely Seokjin.

Shay on the other hand toned down a little and gulped looking into Jin's eyes.

"Yah, what did Jin Hyung said to him? That asshole is basically shaking in his pants." Hoseok said while holding Taehyung by the waist. He was clearly entertained behind all these dramas unfolding in front of him.

"Hyung. Let. Me. Go. I'll rip his head off." Taehyung started to fight himself loose from Hoseok's grip. Being a muscle man himself, it was a piece of cake for him to break it free from Hoseok's grasp. He then aimed toward the stage prepared to take Shay down.

"Hoseok! You were suppose to hold him. You're dead now. Jin Hyung will smack you." Yoongi said in horror realising Taehyung is about to create a mess.

As Taehyung was approaching the stage. The crowd started to roar and the paparazzis started to feed their cameras with the recording and pictures of the incident.

"Move aside hyungs. Yah Shay Ken! The last thing your tiny little brain could have thought about before coming here is to mess with me. You didn't just step into my territory and shamed on me together with my hyungs. I've had enough of you. Now get lost before I fucking kill you myself."

Taehyung pushes Jin aside to face Shay.

"Taehyung, calm down. I'll get the security to escort Mr Shay out. Ok?" Namjoon recollected himself and gently pulled Taehyung back who was already facing Shay nose to nose.

"The fuck Kim? You think I'm afraid of you. I have your boyfriend's or should I say ex boyfriend's company wrapped in my hand. You can't do shit." Shay challenged Taehyung.

"ENOUGH! SHUT YOUR MOUTH SHAY KEN!"

All the heads turned towards the entrance.
