04 - We've Already Met, Earlier.
Namjoon tapped on to the microphone, getting the attention of all the people present at the hotel. He looked to the side to give a soft smile to Jin, who kind of looked nervous. Jin's answering smile was all that he needed to see.
"Uhh... good evening, everyone. Half of you guys know me but for those who doesn't, let me introduce myself. My name is Kim Namjoon, I'm the owner and CEO of Kim's Marketing firm."
"This beautiful man standing next to me is Mr Kim SeokJin, owner of Sunshine Marketing Agency. We both have two very special announcements to make and that's why we have invited all of you guys here today."
Namjoon paused a little to make sure that he had everyone's complete attention. This is the big moment that both him and Jin has been working for the past few weeks.
"First one, Sunshine Marketing Agency has been taken over by my firm. All the staff who had been working in Mr Jin's company will work in mine with immediate effect. Most of you will continue with your current job roles and positions except for few upper lever staff members."
Namjoon let few seconds to let this message sink in as he could see the shocked faces of Jin's staff as well as many of his own people. He turned to look at Jin again to see him giving soft smiles to his people, silently assuring them that things will be ok.
He knew that the relationship Jin have with his staff is quiet different from what he have with his own. Jin is a far more compassionate and a gentle man who genuinely cared for the people who work for him in a personal capacity. Namjoon cared for his staff too but it was more in a business level, rather than personal.
He quickly cleared his throat to get everyone's attention again before continuing with his speech.
"I would like to assure you all that nothing will change with regards to your jobs. You will continue to do the work that you always did and I hope we can build a better future for both the company and ourselves, together."
Jin was the first one to start clapping and soon everyone joined in. Namjoon looked at Jin with a soft smile before raising a hand and waited for the hall to become silent again. He then gently held Jin's hand and started to speak again.
"The second piece of announcement is more on a personal lever. I wish to informe you that this beautiful man, is in fact, my fiance."
A shocked gasps could be heard from all over the place and Namjoon knew that it's from both sets. He looked at Jin's face again and raised their intertwined hands to give a soft kiss to the back of Jin's hand.
"My fiance is stepping down from his company to pursue his interests in another field so our companies will face a merge. I know both these news are kind of shocking to you all but me and Jin have thought about it for a long time. And we believe this merge is the best decision for both companies."
"So that's it from my side." Namjoon said with a relieved smile and looked at Jin. "Jin, would you like to say something, ?"
Jin gave a soft smile to Namjoon and took the microphone from his hand. He took a deep breath and gave a beautiful smile before speaking up.
"Good evening, everyone. I'm Kim SeokJin. I hope we didn't shock you too much with this news. Like Namjoon said, we thought about this decision for a long time and I'm sure this is for the best. I have already spoken to my guys in the morning so there's not much that I have to say now."
"I expect your full support to Namjoon as you have done for me. We have already prepared a new office premises to accommodate everyone and I'm sure you will get along nicely. So good luck to everyone, and... uhh... enjoy the party."
Namjoon took the microphone out of Jin's hand before placing a soft kiss on to his cheeks. The hall erupted in cheers and wolf whistles and Jin's face would be seen to become a shade pinker.
______________________________________
Jungkook was totally shocked as he didn't see this coming at all and he was sure that the rest of his team are feeling the exact same. While the thought of being transferred to a different company was overwhelming on it's own, Jungkook can't wrap his head around the fact that he and Taehyung would be working at the same place from now on.
On one hand, he was really excited to work with Taehyung as that was their initial plan. But since both of them practically have the same job, he wasn't sure how it would work out. Do they want to tell to the others about them being married? Should they?
His thoughts were cut short when he heard Jin's voice calling him name. He turned around to see Jin and Namjoon walking toward him.
"Jungkook." Jin said with a smile.
"Boss." Jungkook reply with an equal smile.
"Namjoon, I want you to meet Jeon Jungkook. Ace of my company. He's the team leader for our marketing team, the one who brings the big businesses." Jin gave a lengthy introduction, making Jungkook smile shyly.
Namjoon extended his hand and Jungkook shook it dutifully. "Pleasure to meet you, Jungkook. I hope we can do a good job together too."
"Likewise, Mr Namjoon."
"Please, call me Namjoon."
"Ok." Jungkook smiled and nod his head. Namjoon seemed like a cool guy.
"I should let him meet my guy." Namjoon suddenly said in an urgent voice and looked around at the crowd.
It took him few seconds to find what he was looking for and waived his hand. "Taehyung!! Here!!"
Jungkook watched in surprise as Taehyung, along with Jimin, made his way towards them. His face didn't had any emotions but Jungkook knew his husband enough to know that he was surprised. And worried.
Namjoon waited till Taehyung reach them before speaking to Jungkook again.
"Jin, this is Kim Taehyung. Ace of my company." Namjoon introduced Taehyung with a mischievous laugh and Jin joined in. "And Park Jimin, best man for negotiation and sealing deals."
Both Jimin and Taehyung shook the hand of Jin before turning their attention to Jungkook.
"And this is Jeon Jungkook, marketing team leader of Jin's company. You all will be working together."
Jungkook gave a nervous chuckle before speaking up. "Actually Namjoon, I already know-"
"We've already met, earlier." Taehyung suddenly jumped in, cutting Jungkook words.
Jungkook looked at his husband in surprise. He couldn't understand why Taehyung stopped him from telling about their relationship, but held his tongue and gave a confirming nod.
"That's one way to put it." Jimin mumbled under his breath but both Namjoon and Jin heard him clearly.
"What do you mean?" Namjoon asked in a curious tone while Taehyung shot lasers at his friend.
"Taehyung here, wanted to buy a drink for Jungkook." Jimin said with air quoting the 'drink' part and Taehyung groaned in annoyance.
Namjoon gave a soft laugh but Jin didn't look that amused. He took a small, subconscious step towards Taehyung, making himself be slightly infront of Jungkook.
"He's married, just so you know."
Jin's voice sounded friendly but everyone present there felt the protectiveness in that. Namjoon and Jimin raised their eyebrows in surprise, Taehyung was not surprised as he had already heard from his husband about his boss and Jungkook's lips curved upwards in to a small smile.
He knows that Jin cares about him in a brotherly way. His affection was very sweet, although totally unnecessary in this instance.
"Y-yeah.." Jimin replied once he got over the initial shock. "So we've been told."
There was an awkward silence for about few seconds and Taehyung thought that he should fix it.
"Well, I'm looking forward to working with you, Mr Jeon." Taehyung said as he extended his hand for a shake.
Jungkook bit back a laugh and shook his husband's hand. "Likewise, Mr Kim."
If the others were surprised about using the surnames, they didn't comment on that.
That one more special thing about Taehyung and Jungkook. Taehyung is allowed to call Jungkook by any name he wants, except his real name. Jungkook had made Taehyung promise that he'll never call him 'Jungkook' and Taehyung hadn't broken that promise so far.
Taehyung calls him Kook, Kookie, Koo, Bunny, all the usual terms of endearments and whatever that spontaneously comes to his mind. But never Jungkook.
It should be interesting to see how Taehyung can keep his promise, now that they would be working together. But why didn't he let Jungkook tell about there relationship? That's the first thing Jungkook would like to know when they go home.
