Jimin woke up earlier than he had wanted to due to Taehyung's persistent alarm blaring from his cellphone. Taehyung had to work early today, but Jimin was blessed with the day off. Apparently, he's worked hard enough to earn an additional day off this week. He's willing to bet that his mother had something to do with it, but he doesn't want to question it too much. He's grateful for a bit of a break.

Unfortunately, Taehyung's alarm was annoying enough that he's now wide awake, playing on his phone while Taehyung takes a shower. He wishes he would have been able to sleep in for a couple more hours.

When Taehyung returns to their shared bedroom, towel wrapped securely around his slim waist, Jimin sets his phone down and sits up, wincing a bit at the adjustment. Taehyung has been a lot more attentive to him lately, which means a lot more time between them spent tangled in the sheets. His lower half is definitely more sensitive than normal.

Taehyung seemed to have noticed. "Was I a little too rough last night?" He asked, sounding concerned.

"No, you were perfect." He smiled as Taehyung bent over and left a soft peck on his lips before he disappeared into the master closet to change into his work clothes.

As soon as Taehyung was out of sight, Jimin's smile fell. Things have been immensely better between the two of them ever since Jimin recommitted himself to the younger male, but somehow their connection still felt off. He just can't put his finger on it. Or maybe he can, but he just doesn't want to admit what the problem is.

The couple ate breakfast together in silence, which was a typical routine for them. It wasn't fully comfortable or uncomfortable. There just wasn't a whole lot for them to talk about aside from work, which neither one wants to discuss more than necessary.

"Oh! Don't forget about our suit fittings tonight at seven," Taehyung reminded him between a mouth full of fried egg.

Jimin nodded in acknowledgement, but he was grateful for the reminder. He really wouldn't have remembered otherwise. Taehyung had scheduled a formal appointment to have their suits specially tailored for the Kim's Group's exquisite party next week. Since the party is to announce Taehyung's official promotion, Taehyung and Jimin will be front and center. Everyone's eyes will be on them, according to what Taehyung has said, so they must look sophisticatedly nice.

"I'm meeting you there, right?" Jimin wanted to confirm. He took a sip of his coffee.

Taehyung nodded. "Yes. I'm going to make sure that I leave the office a half hour before to make sure I get there on time, but if you beat me there, you should be able to check in under your name."

Jimin hummed and watched as Taehyung gulped the rest of his coffee. He had to leave for work, so he hurriedly placed his dishes in the dishwasher before gathering his things. He left a quick peck on the top of the older's head. "See you tonight, Jiminie. Love you."

"Love you too."

And then the front door was shut, leaving Jimin alone.

Jimin knew exactly what the problem between him and Taehyung was, and he's been trying his hardest to ignore the aching feeling in his chest when thinks about it. It's not something that can be easily fixed, though, because the problem was that Kim Taehyung was not Min Yoongi.

Jimin had to shake his head every time the older male popped into his mind. Yoongi ended everything with him, and now he's chosen to be with Taehyung. There was no point in dwelling on it anymore. Instead, he was going to focus on building his life and relationship with Taehyung and with the Kim's Group and Park Industries.

If he keeps reminding himself that he's happy, then eventually he'll believe it.

He needed to distract himself some more. Jimin didn't have any plans until the suit fitting in the evening, so he wondered what he could do today to keep himself busy. Then he remembered that it's Wednesday. His dance classes are usually on Mondays and Wednesdays and it's been weeks since he's been able to go to one.

There's no one to tell him he can't go. Plus, he hasn't seen Hoseok since the night of the strip club... which Jimin tries not to think about too much, but he misses the joyful hyung.

He gets to lounge for a few hours before it's time to get ready to go. He puts on his favorite workout leggings, the ones that hug his ass the best, and he slips on an oversized tank. He can already feel the excitement bubbling up inside of him as he wears this outfit. He's going to be participating in his favorite activity soon. His bones have been aching to be able to dance again.

As he expected, everyone threw stares his direction when he stepped into the practice room, his dance bag thrown over his shoulder. It's been over a month since he's been in the class, so naturally he's behind. Most of the other students probably didn't expect him to ever show up again, which is fair.

The only student that didn't send judgemental glances his way was Hoseok. Instead, Hoseok was quick to flash the widest, heart-shaped grin toward Jimin. "Jiminie! Long time no see!" He wrapped his arms around the smaller and squeezed him tight.

Jimin wasn't sure when their friendship had advanced so far, but everything was so comfortable and easy with Hoseok. The fact that the older male worked at a male strip club didn't bother Jimin in the slightest. He just likes being around the male.

"So where have you been? Working at the big money, family-owned company?" Hoseok snorts. Since the night at Teasers, Jimin's had to open up a bit about his personal life, including the fact that he's an heir to one of Korea's top companies and that he's in a relationship with a different heir to another huge company. "Or being held prisoner by your rich boyfriend."

Jimin rolls his eyes in response. "It's mostly the internship. I don't think Taehyung even remembers that I like to dance."

"Ah, well I'm glad that you're here, but I'm assuming you're not officially back?"

The young heir hums. This was a one time thing. It's not often that he's given an additional day off work. "I'll still try to come whenever I'm able to. Dancing helps me let go and relax."

And the class was exactly what Jimin needed. He was able to let go of all of the tensions that have been building inside his body. He danced so hard that he's sure that his legs are going to ache tomorrow. Now, he was deliciously sweaty and in desperate need of a shower, but in the best kind of way. Additionally, he didn't think about Yoongi once, at least not until-

"Have you talked to Yoongi since that night?" Of course Hoseok would ask something like that as they're about to leave. The man wasn't blind. He could tell that something was going on between him and Yoongi based on their strange behavior, and he's sure that he's already talked to the older about it as well.

Jimin formed his lips into a straight line and gulped, picking up his dance bag and slinging it over his shoulder. He didn't want to talk about it, so he simply says, "No, I haven't, and I don't plan on it."

Hoseok frowns at that. "Why not?"

"Because he made things clear between us. It can never work. It's so fucked up, I mean, he's married to my mother. He clearly wasn't willing to fight for us, so why should I be?" Jimin shrugs nonchalantly, contrasting drastically with the melancholic tone to his voice.

The older male didn't look convinced, as he followed Jimin to the door. "Well, as long as you both are happy, that's what matters." And for some reason, that statement stung Jimin the most.

How long will he be able to convince himself that he's fine? He's not sure.

After his dance class, Jimin only had an hour or so before he was expected to meet with Taehyung at the tailors. That gave him just enough time to take a quick shower and to change into a comfortable outfit. He decided on a simple pair of ripped skinny jeans and a baggy beige sweater that naturally gives him adorable sweater paws. Taehyung always likes this kind of look on Jimin.

By the time he's ready to go, he wonders if Taehyung has left the office yet. He hasn't sent a text, but he wasn't necessarily expecting one.

Unsurprisingly, Jimin beats Taehyung to the location of the suit fitting. It was a high-end place, hidden away in the most expensive part of town. This was the place that most celebrities in Seoul have their red carpet and event outfits altered to fit their bodies perfectly. Jimin expected nothing less for this event.

Too bad he hasn't even seen his suit yet. Taehyung picked it out for him. Though he trusts Taehyung's fashion sense, it would have been nice to get a little bit of say in what he was going to wear. But when it comes to the Kim's Group, Taehyung is a micromanager in every sense of the way. Even his boyfriend's outfit had to be strictly approved by him.

Jimin checks in under his and Taehyung's names. They weren't quite ready for them yet, so he stood off to the side, playing on his phone while waiting.

He gasped in shock when a pair of lips surprisingly attacked his cheek in a wet kiss. It about scared the gay out of him. Jimin clutched onto his sweater, while Taehyung laughed in amusement, proud of his rotten antics. His derpy grin was a relief to see, so Jimin instantly relaxed.

But quickly Taehyung's face morphed into a serious one again, his business face. "How late am I? Were they waiting for me?" He glanced at his watch. He was only ten minutes late.

"No, they said they weren't ready for us yet," Jimin assured and accepted another kiss on his cheek, a more gentle one this time.

Before Taehyung could complain about having to wait, the front desk lady, dressed elegantly in all black, returned to guide them to their private fitting room. The handsome young couple both thanked her formally.

At least what Taehyung picked looked amazing on Jimin. He checked himself out in the mirror, admiring every angle of the sleek black suit that hugged him perfectly in all of the right places. One could say that the pants are maybe even too tight with how tight it fits around his ass, but to him, it was flawless. He looked good. The suit barely needs taken in a tad around the shoulders, but other than that, it's a perfect fit.

Taehyung wore a heathered charcoal gray suit that complimented Jimin's well. His suit already fit him without any errors since the seamstress has memorized the young heir's measurements since Taehyung comes here often now. He wants almost all of suits perfectly tailored anymore.

The couple looked amazing and sophisticated standing next to each other in their fancy attire with matching black bow ties. They were an intimidating couple while looking like this. Yet, Jimin still couldn't help but think that there was something wrong with the image reflecting in the mirror. His smile fell slightly, but Taehyung wasn't able to notice since his cell phone rang at that exact moment. "One second babe. Hello?"

While the younger stepped away to talk, Jimin continued to look at himself in the mirror. He wasn't paying any mind to the conversation his boyfriend was having until he heard, "For the seating arrangement, I want Jimin and I to be seated with my parents and Jimin's mother and her husband...." Jimin immediately perked up anxiously at that. "Yeah, and all the stockholders should be seated closer to the front." Jimin twiddled his thumbs as he continued to listen, "Yes, I can't talk about that now. I'm at my fitting with Jimin. Okay, yes. Thank you."

He hung up the phone and walked back over to his blonde boyfriend. "Everything okay?" He could see the worry on Jimin's face.

"We're sitting with my mom and Yoongi? Our two families never sit with each other." Jimin tried to control the shakiness of his voice. He wasn't sure if he could sit that close to Min Yoongi and maintain a normal composure like he needed to.

"Uh, yeah." Taehyung scratched the back of his head. "It's a really big event for me, and I thought that it would look good to have our families together... It would help show how serious we are about the future conversion of our companies. Is that okay?" He asked with a sheepish grin.

"Of course, baby." Jimin lied. It wasn't okay, but he couldn't tell Taehyung that. "I think that's a great idea." He leaned in to leave a sweet kiss on Taehyung's thinner lips.

But really, it was a horrible idea because he'll have to be face to face with Yoongi as Taehyung's boyfriend.
