"Wait, wait, wait..." he inhales heavily "You're telling me, that the entire article and all of the pictures taken from ISAC have just disappeared from the archive? We have NOTHING?!" 

Dahyun nods slowly, clutching onto her notebook tightly "I'm s-sorry sir. I was going to b-back up the hardrive first thing this m-morning but the computer crashed before I c-could do it" 

"WE HAVE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, IT TAKES NOTHING TO REPLACE A COMPUTER. WHY WOULD YOU WAIT UNTIL IT WAS SO OVERLOADED WITH VIRUSES THAT IT CRASHES, CAUSING YOU TO LOSE MONTHS AND MONTHS OF DATA?!" Taehyung's voice is booming and Dahyun slowly backs away..she's been doing so well since she started working here. Hasn't made a single mistake until now. 

"I-I didn't realize h-how bad it was.. I-" 

"Save it. Get out of my office. I now have an EIGHT PAGE SPREAD in next weeks issue, that was dedicated to ISAC that I now have no content for." he pinches his brows and uses his free hand to wave her out.

"Day? Oh God! Don't tell me it was you he was screaming at?!" Jimin strides over to the girl who is sobbing quietly in the staff room 

"I-I didn't mean to lose everything" she chokes out and Jimin rolls his eyes 

"Shh, hey, you've been here for 8 months right? You've seen Tae yell at dozens of people. It's not personal Day. I promise and if I'm being honest, you're one of the greatest reporters we've had in years. Don't worry about it, okay?" he smiles, reaching up to wipe her tears "Besides, if he didn't want to keep you around, you would've been fired immediately for a fuck up like this" he winks and she chuckles a little 

"Y-yeah I guess you're right.. thank you Jimin-ssi." 

He just shakes his head "No worries, I guess I need to go play some damage control huh?" he gives her a last comforting hug before he makes his way towards Taehyung's office. Making a phone call to a certain Min Yoongi while he's at it. 

"Jimin-ah, what's going on?" 

"Are you in the office?" 

"Ahh, no I'm not. I'm off today, what's up?" 

"Taehyung just screamed at Dahyun.. she lost all of the ISAC content." he sighed and Yoongi's bitter laughter fills the speaker 

"Holy shit, she lost ISAC content and didn't lose her head? Good for her. Just order his usual from the cafe down the street, he'll get over it." Yoongi pauses waiting for Jimin to speak but continues anyway "You handle him well, Jimin..but just know this is a rough month for him." 

Jimin pauses to think and whenever he realizes it's August he sighs..."Damn, I almost forgot. Thanks for the reminder hyung. Definitely gonna go get him a double order of his favorite hot chocolate." he sighs and Yoongi laughs 

"That's probably exactly what his crabby ass needs right now. Call me if you need anything, okay?"

"Thanks hyung. Enjoy your day off"

Taehyung's been pacing back and forth since Dahyung left his office. How the hell is he supposed to come up with enough content to fill 8 pages? Not to mention how many people will be buying the magazine just for the ISAC coverage of their favorite IDOLS. There's a small part of him that feels bad, really, Dahyun is a sweet girl...he didn't mean to scream at her but fuck how hard is it to have competent employees?! 

It's a damn magazine headquarters for fucks sake! Computers are TOP TIER of importance and should be replaced immediately if there's an issue. He groans as he shoves a stack of useless paper off his desk. Right at his glorious moment Jimin strolls into the office, two paper cups in hand and a disappointed frown on his face. 

"Taetae..." he scowls and Taehyung just looks up at him with a blank expression 

"I got you TWO white chocolate, hot cocoas, because judging by the tears I saw on Dahyun's face...you probably haven't had a single helping of sugar today." 

Taehyung gave a tight-lipped smile, taking the two cups from Jimin. "All I had was an Americano first thing this morning. Tasted like shit." he takes a sip of his favorite sugary beverage and sighs "Damn.. she cried?" he asks, voice soft and Jimin nodded. 

"She works really hard Taetae. It was an honest mistake." 

"Fuck, I know but damn it Chim. You know how important ISAC coverage is...what are we supposed to replace it with?!" his voice is raising again and Jimin lifts a brow 

"Let me call Hobi-hyung...maybe he can snag us some tea to spill." he smirks and Taehyung nods. 

"Thanks Jimin." 

"Yeah, yeah, just try not to scare off our best reporters." he rolls his eyes leaving Taehyung's office on a mission.

"Jimin-ah! What's with the surprise visit?" Hoseok says cheerfully as Jimin barges his way through the BigHit doors. 

"Got a little bit to chat??"

Hoseok looks around to see the empty lobby before shrugging and leading Jimin towards his office, "Alright, what happened this time?" he smiles, knowing all too well that Jimin's unexpected visits are normally when BB is desperate. 

"One of our reporter's computer harddrive crashed because of a virus and she didn't back up her files to an external drive...meaning we lost all of the content she had. Which included everything we got from ISAC" 

Hoseok knows as well as everyone at the Bangtan Bomb, just how important their ISAC features are. "Shit... okay, how many pages are we lookin' at this time?" 

"We had an eight page spread lined up and we have nothing good to replace it with..." he sighed and Hoseok immediately started typing away.

"Alright...so we're currently preparing two new groups to debut. It'll be our first time debuting TWO brand new groups simultaneously, so this is kind of a big deal. One is a boy group and one is a girl group. Both contain only five members. It's been in the works for over a year and they just finally decided on a debut date. I'll send you everything I have and I can set up an interview for tomorrow during lunch with each group. Think you guys can stretch this story to reach eight pages?" 

Jimin thinks for a second, it'll be hard to write eight pages of content on two rookie groups that haven't even debuted yet. However, this is a huge story as BigHit hasn't debuted any new groups in three years. Realizing they don't have many options and Taehyung is one more piece of bad news away from firing everyone in the building.. he realizes this is all that they have.

"We will make it work, thank you so much hyung!!" he shouts, lunging towards Hoseok and hugging him tight. 

"So what's the word on your promotion?? Any good news?" 

Jimin groans flopping back onto the couch "He's never gonna let me...as much as I love Taehyung he relies on me too much. He also isn't willing to even attempt to hire a new assistant." 

"Damn.. you're such a good field reporter. I know you'd excel in that department if he'd give you a chance. I could even sneak you into exclusive events with me" he smiles and Jimin pouts 

"Don't tell me things that you know we can't make happen..." 

Hoseok looked to be pondering something and Jimin noticed the mischievous grin that took over his face. "Oh no... whatever you're thinking, not happening." 

"Hey! Hear me out, Taehyung is still single right??" 

Jimin furrows his brows as he nods slowly 

"So, Namjoon's best friend works here part-time but he's been complaining that he needs something to make more money. Wants to get a bigger place or something...he's really good looking and is no stranger to the type of work you guys do since we have reporters and magazine journalists in here 24/7." 

"Okay, but what exactly is your point hyung? I just told you Taehyung won't even entertain the idea...he refuses to let me go." 

"Okay, but what if. We tell Jungkook about the deal and you just send him in one day with Taehyung's coffee order or something. Make up an excuse, give him some made up position. Once Taehyung see's the hot new coffee boy he's gonna want to see him again" Hoseok grins and Jimin shakes his head 

"Look, Tae's been single for awhile but he isn't desperate hyung. He isn't going to just up and kick me to the curb for some good looking guy. Besides, we don't even know if he's Taehyung's type." Jimin groans "I'm going to be Kim Taehyung's assistant for the rest of my life. 

"Hey, if there's anything I've noticed about Taehyung from the various events I've seen him at. He has a type...muscular. That's the only thing all of his boyfriends/dates have ever had in common...they're all buff. TRUST ME, Jungkook has a near perfect physique. He's one of our dance instructors." Hoseok can see the hesitation in Jimin's eyes as the other nibbles on his bottom lip "What's the worst thing that could happen? Taehyung says to never send him in again? Okay then you're where you are right now. BUT if Taehyung does take a liking to Jungkook, you could potentially gain a chance to actually do what you wanted to do when you joined the magazine." 

Jimin weighs the options and even if he thinks Taehyung would most definitely kill him for this. He can't help but think it's not the worst idea ever and besides, he knows from their last outing that Taehyung hasn't been laid in months...if this Jungkook guy is even half as attractive as Hoseok says, this could serve to benefit Taehyung in more ways than one. So with a mischievous grin and a shout of what the hell. Jimin agrees to setting this up.

"JUNGKOOOOKIIEEEEEE" Hoseok sing songs as he trots his way into the empty dance studio where Jungkook is packing up his belongings. 

"No, I'm not staying late again hyung. I'm exhausted" he groans and Hoseok smacks his arm 

"Hey, if I needed you too, I would. But that's not what this is about.. I have a new job opportunity for you." 

Jungkook's ears perk up at that "I'm listening" with a raised brow and Hoseok looks at him smirking 

"Now listen, it's not the most glamorous job but the guy pays very generously..." 

"I'm not going to be a sugar baby, what the fuck?!" 

"Jesus christ Kook, do you really think I'd get you a sugar daddy? Aren't you a dom anyway?!" he shouts and Jungkook just waves a hand in the air signaling to carry on 

"Y'know Bangtan Bomb? The magazine?" 

Jungkook scoffs "Of course, that's like asking if I know the capital of South Korea" he rolls his eyes and Hoseok does too 

"Alright, smart ass, well you'd be the assistant to Mr. Kim."

Jungkook's eyes widen "Kim Taehyung?? The editor in chief and owner of the magazine? The fucking smoke show that we met at MMA last year?? I'd be HIS assistant?" 

"Yes, exactly." a grin comes over Hoseok's face as he didn't realize Jungkook remembered meeting Taehyung nor did he know that the younger was attracted to him. This may be easier than he thought. 

"So what, I fetch his coffee and make his appointments? I can do that, but I'd think someone like him already has an assistant." 

"He does, but his assistant wants a change of pace, but Taehyung doesn't think anyone else is competent enough...you could change that though" 

"What the hell, I need money. Why not? What's the worst thing that could happen?" 

Hoseok makes an uncomfortable expression, "Just a warning, he can be kind of a dick" 

Jungkook laughs "what type of cliche, the big hot boss man is an asshole, shocker" he rolls his eyes "Whatever, when do I start?" 

"Jimin is going to text me tomorrow and I'll let you know. Thanks for doing this Kooks, I think it'll be good for you!" 

Jungkook is left to his thoughts once Hoseok leaves the studio. Sure, he needs money but if this Taehyung guy is really an ass, it'll be hard for Jungkook to bite his tongue.. no matter how good the salary. Though he'd be lyuing if he said he wasn't even a little bit excited to be working with someone like Kim Taehyung. 

He remembers vividly meeting the man at MMA. His hair was a golden blonde and Jungkook recalls especially finding himself wanting to fiddle with the long silver earring that was dangling from Taehyung's ear. He feels his cheeks heating up remembering how attracted he was to Taehyung that day and now, he's maybe just a bit more excited about his new gig.
