Part 1

Yoongis POV:

"Yoongi?" my father's voice rang out. I stared absently out of the window. "Min Yoongi!" my father said loudly. I looked at him. "Yoongi, Park Industries have launched a new product and people are crazy about it. Tell the development team to get on with it." I sighed. Hi, I'm Min Yoongi, the heir to Min Make-Up. I inherited the company from my father. Since Min Make-Up was founded, Park Industries has been our biggest competitor. "Yoongi, Park Industries are launching their new product tonight and you will be attending the event. Take Namjoon and Jungkook with you." Park Industries and Min Make-Up were the two most successful companies for make-up products.

Jimins POV:

I entered Park Industries and Tae jumped up at me excitedly. ""Today we're going to prove it to Min Make Up." I smiled broadly. Dad walked into my office. "Minnie, baby, are you really ready to be introduced as the heir and new CEO of Park Industries?" I smiled. "Yes, Dad. Is everything ready for tonight?" Jin and Hoseok approached me. "Good morning Mr. Park and Mr. Park." I rolled my eyes. "We've been best friends for years. I'm Jimin to you, even at work." The three of them grinned. "Of course Mr. Park." Dad let out a laugh. I stepped into my office, the three of them following me. "Jin-hyung, Tae, Hobi, the event starts at 7 p.m. .Please have everything ready by then." The three of them nodded and left my office.

Namjoons POV:

I knocked on Yoongi's office door. "Come in," Yoongi's raspy voice rang out. "Hyung, it's time. We have to go," I said. Yoongi stood up. "Let's go. I want to know which Park Industries product has caused such a hype in the make-up world." Shortly afterwards, we pulled up at the venue. Flashes from cameras caught us. A reporter approached us. "Mr Min, you will soon be taking over from your father as the heir to Min Make-Up. How do you intend to oust your biggest competition from the market?" "We'll see," Yoongi simply said and entered the building. Jungkook and I followed Yoongi wordlessly.

Jins POV:

Jimin, Tae, Hoseok and I got out of the car. "There's Mr Park from Park Industries." A reporter approached Jimin. "Mr Park, your company has launched a product that is more popular than any other make-up. Your make-up product not only makes faces shine, but also makes pimples and other skin irritations disappear naturally. 3 applications and by the evening of the 4th day, all pimples and other skin irritations have disappeared. How did you manage that?" Jimin smiled slightly. "Who knows, who knows." I caught sight of Yoongi, Namjoon and Jungkook at the entrance. "Jimin, Min Make Up is already here," I said quietly to him. We all looked at Yoongi, Namjoon and Jungkook. "Let's go in," Hoseok said. I nodded. We entered the event while I felt a gaze on me.

Jungkooks POV:

I stepped into the bathroom, where I found Taehyung, Jimin's best friend and assistant. I stepped up to him. "Hello Mr Kim, you look stunningly beautiful." Tae nodded. "Thank you, Mr Jeon...oh damn," he cursed. Taehyung's shirt sleeves were tangled with his shirt. I cleared my throat. "May I help you?" "No matter how friendly you are, Mr Jeon, I won't tell you anything. Jimin is my best friend. I'll never stab him in the back." Sighing, I stepped towards Tae and untangled his shirt sleeves. I looked Tae in the face. His make-up was perfect, not too much and not too little. The door burst open and Jimin entered. "Tae, are you..." he began and faltered at the sight of us. Tae hurried away from me. "Hello Mr Park," I greeted Jimin.

Taehyungs POV:

I turned bright red and hurriedly approached Jimin. "Sorry Jimin, but I had problems with my shirt." "Hm," Jimin grinned furtively and looked at Jungkook. "Good evening, Mr Jeon. Good to see you." Jungkook bowed slightly. "Good evening, Mr Park. Thank you for inviting us to introduce your new product." Jimin grinned. "Better this way than Min Make-Up sending its spies." Jungkook smiled uncertainly. "Jimin, I didn't tell him anything!" said Tae hastily. "Did Mr Jeon fix your shirt?" asked Jimin. I nodded. "Good," Jimin just said, "Now come on. I have to give my speech." I nodded and followed Jimin.


Hoseoks POV:

Jimin stepped onto the stage, followed by his father. "Good evening, dear guests. Thank you all for coming. As you have heard, a new product from Park Industries is all the hype in the media and we want to present the product to you live today." Applause rang out. Mr Park waved Jimin up to him. Tae nudged me. "Look at this. Mr Min." I looked at Yoongi, who was staring at Jimin with his mouth open. I grinned and stepped towards Yoongi, Namjoon and Jungkook. "Mr Min, you seem to have taken a liking to Jimin, or rather the heir to Park Industries." Jin, Namjoon, Kookie and Tae turned to Yoongi. Yoongi looked at me. "Nonsense." Jimin started to speak. When Jimin crossed Yoongi's gaze, Jimin faltered. "Jimin?", Mr Park asked his son softly.

Jimins POV:

I was giving my speech when my gaze caught a man's eye and completely threw me off my stride. My gaze lingered on Mr Min Junior and I completely forgot what I wanted to say. The young man was my age, maybe a little older than me. He had dyed blond hair and made a stern impression. Mr Min looked at me in anticipation. "Jimin?" I heard Dad say softly. I came back to reality. I laughed out loud. "Sorry, something threw me off my game." The audience smiled sympathetically. The corners of Mr Min's mouth twitched upwards slightly. 

Yoongis POV:

"So ladies and gentlemen, we now present our new product." Jimin stepped forward. "Thank you all for coming. My name is Park Jimin and I've been working in my father's company for years." Jimin ran his fingers through his hair. I stared at Jimin with my mouth open. My eyes scanned Jimin's body. Jimin was thin and athletically built and his suit fit him perfectly. "Many teenagers, but also some adults, have problems with acne or pimples. We have tried to find a pleasant solution to rid the skin of those." "Oh," a tense murmur sounded. Jimin stepped forward. "Many may doubt it, but we made them a video with one of our models as proof." Everyone was watching the video, but my eyes were on Jimin. Jimin looked at me.

Jimins POV:

Dad stepped up to me. "Jimin, he wouldn't do you any good." "Huh?" I startled. "The heir to the Min Empire. Min Yoongi. He's not the man for you." "Dad...," I began. Dad took my hand. "Baby, I know you like boys. But this Yoongi...he's the complete opposite of you..." Jokingly, I said, "Isn't it said that opposites attract?" Dad nodded seriously. "Yes, that's true and that worries me. I don't want him to use you to find out about our new products. And I don't want you to get hurt, Jiminie." The film ended and everyone looked at me. "Questions?" I smiled at the group.

Namjoons POV:

I looked up at Jimin. "Admittedly, the product is very cool." Looking at Yoongi, I added: "And the legacy of Park Industries is also very attractive." Yoongi said nothing. Jimin joined us. "Hello Mr Min, Mr Kim. Was your espionage successful?" "Why espionage? It was a market release. We would have found out about your new product either way," I replied. Yoongi cleared his throat. "Maybe we should introduce ourselves to each other first before we tear each other apart." Yoongi held out his hand. "I'm Min Yoongi, the heir to Min MakeUp. Nice to meet you, Jiminie." I smiled furtively as I saw Jimin blush. Jimin took Yoongi's hand and shook it. As the two shook hands, they both jumped away from each other.

Jungkooks POV:

"Hyung, are you okay?" I asked worriedly. Jimin and Yoongi rubbed their hands together. Mr Park approached us. "Ah, Mr Min, so you've already met my son in person. In the future, you will have to compete with my son." Yoongi looked deep into Jimin's eyes. Yoongi looked at Jimin appraisingly. "Hm, I don't know, Mr Park. Will he be able to withstand all the pressure?" Yoongi turned away with a smile. I followed him. I heard Jimin snort. "Such a conceited bloke. Who does he think he is?" Yoongi turned to Jimin. "The CEO of Min Make-Up." Jimin snorted and stepped towards Yoongi. "From what I can see, you're not a CEO yet, Mr Min."

Jins POV:

Jimin grinned victoriously as Yoongi's smile disappeared. "Let's go," Jimin said to Tae and me with a smile. We followed Jimin and shortly afterwards we started giggling. We heard Jungkook say, "Wow, hyung he just practically tore you apart." "Mr Park," a couple of business partners shouted. Jimin, Tae and I stopped and turned to face them. They approached Jimin and asked their questions. Tae and I were walking towards the buffet when someone approached us. A partner of Mr Park senior. "Good evening, I'm Mr Ko from Local Make-Up. (Office for selling make-up and shower gel etc.) What do you think of Mr Park's new product?" Tae and I grinned at each other and then started to gush about the product.


Jimins POV:

The event finally came to an end at 2 a.m. I said goodbye to the guests in the foyer. Dad came up to me and hugged me. "I'm so proud of you! The event was a great success. Take today off and get some rest." Dad disappeared with a smile. Tired, I turned round and went to pick up my things when I tripped and fell to the floor, nose first. I cried out. Two arms wrapped around my hips to keep me from falling. Heart pounding, I looked up and my eyes met Yoongi's hazel eyes. "Mr Park, you'd better watch where you're going." I just continued to stare at Mr Min, captivated by his beautiful eyes. "Mr Min, get your hands off my son!" my dad raged behind us. Yoongi quickly helped me to my feet. "Dad! He just saved me from a fall." "Let's go Jimin. And you," Dad turned to Yoongi, "you stay away from my son!"

Yoongis POV:

I ignored Mr. Park and looked at Jimin. "Are you all right?" Jimin nodded. "Good, then goodbye." I straightened my suit and turned to Namjoon and Jungkook. "We're going home." "I'm taking a day off tomorrow," I said. Jungkook and Namjoon stared at me in disbelief. I didn't say anything else. The next morning, I walked into the gym. It was 4.30 a.m. and the gym was empty, with just someone keeping the treadmill going. I went to the weight training corner and started to train my arms. After a while I took my shirt off. After 10 minutes, someone tapped me on the shoulders. I stopped, stood up and turned round.

Jimins POV:

I wanted to work out my arms, but my favourite piece of equipment was occupied. I patted the man on the shoulders. "Excuse me, may I ask how long you'll be using the machine?" The man stopped, stood up and turned to me. My eyes widened in surprise. Min Yoongi was standing in front of me. My eyes travelled over Yoongi's bare, muscular upper body. WOW! I felt my heart beat faster and I swallowed nervously. "Mr Park?" came from off-screen. I just continued to stare at Yoongi. "Mr Park!" Mr Min shouted a little louder. I flinched. "Mr Park, what are you doing here?"

Taes POV:

I entered the gym. Jimin had texted me that he was here and we often trained together. I heard someone shout "Mr Park" loudly. I hurried after the voice and saw Jimin and Yoongi. "Jimin," I said. Jimin came round and turned to me. "The device is yours," Jimin suddenly said in his business-like tone. I watched Jimin, who looked confused. I took Jimin's hand and pulled him along to the gym corner. "Jimin, are you okay? Did Mr Min do something to you?" Jimin snorted. "He's a CEO, not a mafia." Jimin tossed me a gymnastics tape. "Let's go." Jimin and I were working out hard when I sensed we were being watched. I looked up and saw Yoongi looking at us. Jimin took no notice and performed some impressive gymnastics moves. Yoongi nodded approvingly.

Jungkooks POV:

I was in a Min Make-Up shop when the store manager approached me. "Mr Jeon, we have an important visitor from the competition. Mr Park and Mr Kim are here." I raised my eyebrows and followed her. "Good afternoon Mr Park, good afternoon Mr Kim. What a surprise to find you here." They both looked up in surprise. I smiled. Tae lifted his chin. "Well Mr Jeon, we're not forbidden from going into a shop, are we?" I grinned and looked at Tae closely. I like his rebelliousness. "Of course not. Mr Kim, but I thought you were avoiding the competition," I said, stepping towards Tae. Tae looked me firmly in the eyes. It was like I was drowning in them. "Beautiful," I breathed. Tae looked at me defiantly. "Yes, unlike the min make-up and models, we only use the best products for our make-up."

Taes POV:

Jungkook grinned again and his eyes sparkled. "Yes, that's why you're interested in our products." Jungkook turned to leave. "Goodbye, Mr Kim." I cursed out. Jungkook chuckled and stepped towards me. "Or did you come for me?" "Mr Jeon what are you doing with my employee?" came Jimin's voice. Jungkook grinned cheekily at Jimin. "I was just admiring the beauty of your co-worker, Mr Park." "Come on, Tae, let's go," said Jimin. "Mr Park, Mr Kim, what an honour," sounded sarcastically from behind us. Mr Min senior joined us. Jimin stiffened. Yoongi followed his father and widened his eyes when he saw us.

Yoongis POV:

Dad approached Jimin. "Take a look around, Mr Park. Maybe then you'll realise why Park Industries should disappear from the market." Jimin looked Dad in the eye. "We'll see. Thank you for your hospitality, Mr Min," Jimin replied, his eyes crossing mine. I turned to look at Dad. "What's this Dad? Just because you're competing with us doesn't mean you have to be rude." Dad glared at me. "We're going to work harder. Get the marketing and external communications department up to speed. Get them to make a new statement in favour of our products and against Park Industries' products." I just sighed. That evening, Jungkook called me. "Hyung, we want to go out and celebrate. Are you coming?" I agreed. I needed to see something different.


Hoseoks POV:

Tae and Jimin came back into the office. Tae was swearing. I smiled. "Who got you more upset? Mr Min senior or Jeon Jungkook?" Jimin chuckled furtively. My eyes wandered to him. "So, Jimin, what do you say to the Min Make-Up heir?" Jimin became serious. "He makes a competent impression." Tae and I rolled our eyes. "Not on a business basis. Jimin, is Min Yoongi your type of man?" Jimin didn't say anything at first and pretended to be working. "Jimin..." Tae began. Jimin looked at us. "I don't know if he's my type of guy." Jimin had only found out a few months ago that he liked boys. I smiled. "Take all the time you need." I exchanged a look with Tae. "So," I said and closed the laptop. "Let's go out for now."


Jimins POV:

Hobi, Tae and I had changed and we entered the club. Tae beamed at me: "This is our favourite song. Come on, let's dance." A young man approached me. "Mr Park, can I ask you for a dance?" I looked up in surprise. I nodded and smiled, but Yoongi stepped in our way. "Excuse me, but the next dance is reserved for me." Yoongi took my hand and pulled me away from the man. "Yoongi-hyung..." Wait, what? Yoongi glared at me. "We shouldn't be seen together so much. We're competitors." Yoongi smiled. "Aren't we allowed to be friends in private?" I shook my head. "Our dads don't want that." Yoongi pulled me close to him by the waist. Our hips were almost touching. I felt myself blush, then I came round. "Hyung..."

Yoongis POV:

I stepped back and let go of Jimin. "I'm sorry. I don't want to impose on you. Go to Tae. He's watching us like he's afraid I'll hurt you." I looked at Jimin with my emotionless mask. "Well, Mr Park, I'll see you around. Have a nice evening." I turned and left the club. I walked to my car and got in. "Hyung," Jimin's desperate voice rang out. I turned to Jimin. "I'm sorry," he said. I shook my head. "No, Jiminie, I'm sorry. I've denied you the chance to get to know a perhaps nice, caring man. And maybe our dads are right. We shouldn't have anything to do with each other in private." I smiled at Jimin. "Go and find your happiness."
