A young man with a stoic face guides a man and woman out of a glass door. His cat-like eyes gaze at his secretary as she walks directly towards him.

The look on his face sends a shiver down her spine. "Anything I can help with, Mr Min?" she asks. However, He signals to her to wait. As he turns back to the man and the woman, they shake hands with him. A gleeful smile spread across their faces.

"We appreciate your willingness to do this, Mr Min. Dont fret. We'll finish in max four days." says one of the producers.

"It wasn't my plan to--" A forced cough stops Yoongi. Namjoon shakes his head silently as a quick glare is directed at him.

Yoongi feels regretful at the thought of inviting one of his closest friends.

Yoongi gestures towards Selena and says, "Selena, please accompany our guests to the elevator." Selena nods politely and motions for the two guests to follow her after Yoongi and Namjoon formally say goodbye to them.

They both collapse on his couch after entering Yoongi's office. The constant fatigue plagues his body as he closes his eyes.

"I suggest you choose one of your newest studios to do this ..." Namjoon starts to speak but stops as soon as he sees Yoongi's closed eyes. A sudden slap on Yoongi's shoulder jolts him awake before he can drift off to sleep.

"What the--! " Yoongi curses as he kicks Namjoon with his foot, causing him squealing shock. Despite the short duration of Yoongi's second attempt at falling asleep, his eyes close once again to recoup a bit.

Yoongi hears the door opening and utter profanities inwardly because he knows there is no way that he is going to get any sleep now. The whole Bangtan Crew will be here.

He sighed and stood up from his white leather couches.

"Yoongi...you... need...to have elevators that...work," Jin breathes out. In an attempt to catch his breath, his cheeks are flushed.

It was as if he had run a marathon. He was panting out of breath. Namjoon raised his eyebrows in disbelief. Jin's words make Yoongi roll his eyes.

"What are you talking about? They work fine," Yoongi stated in a matter-of-fact tone. Jin stands up straight and turns to the person walking in after him.

"Kookie said that...they were out of order, and I had to take the stairs..." Jin finally catches his breath.

"And you believed him?" Yoongi asks in amusement as he watches Jungkook laughing in his fist at Jin's reddened face. 

The hyung thinks for a moment as he thinks back to when Jungkook said that the elevators were out of order, and when he decided to use the others, Jungkook said that those elevators were being serviced. Jungkook is their youngest in the brotherhood. He is the youngest CEO running his family Shipping company with his mother as the matriarch by his side, who serves as the Chairlady of the board of directors—a very formidable and feared woman in the business world.

Taehyung enters next, hands in pockets. His friend has everything as far as visuals are concerned. Despite looking extraordinarily handsome and artistic, most people in the business world might perceive him as arrogant due to the physical attributes he holds. In reality, he is quite the opposite. Kind and friendly with a blank look.

He sits on a single couch, taking out his phone dialling a number belonging to his curator. Owning the most prominent art gallery in Seoul has its responsibilities, and they were waiting for the new artwork that will be coming from Prague. He will exhibit his work for the first time in the Asian market.

A low whistle enters the ears of the five boys. They turn to look at Jimin winking at Selena, Yoongis' secretary, whose cheeks was flustered at the intensity of sensual Jimin's eyes.

He grabs her hand gently and gives a soft kiss at the back of her hand. Selenas' breathe caught in her throat. He is such a flirt.

"I haven't seen colour until I've laid my eyes on your beautiful silky brown eyes," Jimin smiles softly at Selena, who doesn't know how to respond, but soon leaves towards her desk—still flushed from what happened. Her heart constantly flutters when she's around him, but she's wary of womanizers. Their hearts are enormous...to accommodate more women.

"If you want to flirt with my secretary and keep her from her job, go live with her then," Yoongi rolls his eyes as he shakes his head.

"Don't hate the flirt, hate the game," Jimin flicks his hair in an exaggerating manner. "I can't help it that I'm a hot magnet to beautiful women,"

"Don't set unrealistic goals for yourself...I mean, look at this," Jin gestures to his handsome face. The beauty magnets attracted me twice, and I've been named Men of the Year, and my modelling career speaks for itself. If I wasn't'so passionate about the food, I would still be on the ramp.

Jin then gestures to Jimin's tall and lean body. "---And that... is just sad," Jimin pouts as he grumbles under his breath, taking a seat at one of the couches.

"I'm in no mood to fight with an overgrown child--" he mumbles. 

Now, Jimin was the adorable flirt with a flair for dating the most beautiful woman in South Korea. Seoul's prince. He has always been smitten with actresses and supermodels, and he was engaged to a charming girl a few years ago but tragically lost her. Jimin is the CEO of a flourishing pharmaceutical company.

"Hey! Who're you calling child," Jin narrows his eyes at Jimin, who is smirking.

"Yoongi did not call you over here to behave like wild animals, be civilized," Namjoon says with a stern voice, not in the mood for bickering.

"Now--" A loud hearty laugh comes from outside the office. Oh, just great!! The sunshine is here! Yoongi mused.

"Here comes the horse," Jungkook grinned.

"Selena, funny as usual," Jhope enters the office, chuckling at the joke Yoongi's secretary filled him on.

Selena and Jhope made a pact a year ago that they would exchange jokes, puns, and words of the day whenever he would come and visit. She loves his personality and optimism.

"How come she is more open with you and not me?" Jimin frowns. Jhope gives him a toothy grin.

"Because you boring, that's why?" Jhope grins.

"You--" Jimin eyes flash, annoyed. Selena is so hard to get, and he wants the Mexican beauty, but she is a tough nut to crack. 

"Enough, can we get down to business onto why I called you over here," Yoongi grits his teeth. Jin, Jungkook and Jhope take a seat silently. 

Now, Jhope was the group's hope, always smiling and laughing and very popular with people of all classes. He left you feeling safe. However, he is a formidable business hotel tycoon, especially in the boardroom. His hotel group, Jung Towers, is very famous worldwide, and one of his hotels is in Dubai. 

 Yoongi sighs in relief that they adhered.

"So a production company wants us to be their first participants in their new pilot reality show, and six of us are chosen for the first season", Yoongi confirms as the rest of the young men nod their heads.

"Which locations will everyone be going to, Taehyung?" Taehyung looks up from his phone after speaking with his PA about another new art agent interested in having an exhibition for a group of new student sculptures at his gallery. His staff will handle it while he is away going a few weeks.

"I'll be headed to Nice, France. No knows my face, and I'm going to be one of the curators' assistants," He clarifies.

"Same here, but I'll be in Bordeaux. I heard their food is delicious... I'll be a student chef." Jin trails off, obnoxiously rubbing his stomach.

Namjoon pinches the bridge of his nose. When isn't Jin thinking of food? Probably when he is flaunting how 'worldwide handsome' he is. He is such a foodie, and he always comes up with unique dishes. Considering that Jin owns some of the top Asian cuisine restaurants in Asia and Europe, it's no surprise he's an internationally acclaimed food critic and restauranteur. His food is highly regarded, and reservations are booked months in advance. It is a popular spot for celebrities in Seoul.

They always looked to Namjoon for leadership. He was thoughtful, strong, well versed, and a formidable business competitor. The mere sight of him made even mature partners melt. In addition to their publishing company, Namjoon owns several well-known magazine and newspaper brands. He is also an acclaimed crime novelist. Millions of copies of his crime novels have been sold, and a movie was made based on one of his novels. His books have been translated into over 40 languages.

"I'm headed for Mexico," Jhope grins in excitement. He loves the sights and sounds of the cultures.

"Jimin?" Namjoon says. Bringing the blonde-haired man out of his thoughts.

"Australia..." He trails off. Wondering if it is an intelligent decision that he chose that location.

"Kookie--"

"--Wait, I'm just confirming with my assistant if New York would be better or should I head to Manhattan.." Yoongi furrows his eyebrows at this. He turns his gaze towards JungKook.

"You do know that Manhattan is in New York, right?" Yoongi clarifies, raising an eyebrow.

Jungkook chuckles bashfully."Oh...But Isn't it New York City and New York, Manhattan?" He trails off."I always get confused between the two." Jimin gives Jungkook a disappointed look.

"Research is a good idea," Jimin says, and Jungkook waves him off. Yoongi turns his head to Namjoon as all the six young CEOs also turn their attention to him.

"Where are you going?" Taehyung asks Namjoon curiously.

Namjoon gives them a grin and gives an unexpected side hug to Yoongi, seated beside him. This earns a grunt from the shorter man as he pushes him away.

"I'll be right here in Seoul. Since I won't be participating in the  reality show, I'll be working on the production side of it--" he said with a broad smile that showcased his adorable dimple.

"--what!" Yoongi cuts Namjoon off before he can finish.

Yoongi says, frustrated, "You forced me to be in the reality show, complaining that this would be a good chance to get to know our employees. Yet you fail to do the same?" he asks. Standing up, he furiously exited his office. The only time he appears on television is at awards shows to accept awards.

Namjoon's statement upset him. Immediately after getting up, Jhope followed Yoongi in an attempt to soothe the now angry Yoongi. Yoongi is already dealing with pressing family issues and an ex-girlfriend who stalks and is a nuisance. The fact that his mom is friends with hers doesn't help either.

Namjoon sighs after a minute of tense silence. Yoongi prevented him from finishing what he was about to say. Perhaps he would have been less upset if he had just listened. Why?

...

Yoongi stared off into the city of Seoul.

It's not that he was angry at Namjoon...okay, maybe he was. But for a good reason. Yoongi made it clear, not just to Namjoon but to all six of his best friends, that he doesn't want to be a part of reality shows, basically, anything that shows his off wealth. 

He isn't like that. In the kpop music industry, he is one of the most acclaimed producers, composers, and songwriters, and he is already well-known in the west. He runs his label well and takes good care of his award-winning artists. Currently, there is no information about his net worth. He has an impressive investment portfolio and owns properties worldwide, even his private yacht and charter, making him one of the most sought-after bachelors.

It was Namjoon who forced him to do the reality show. Why? Because he lost a stupid bet. On the other hand, maybe he overreacted. Still, he needed to vent. Standing on a roof with fresh air sure helps. He used the rooftop as a private area for himself and any guests he had. The rooftop was empty.

As Jhope approaches his best friend exiting the elevator, he says, "I thought I would find you here.". Yoongi is leaning over the balcony when Jhope joins him. "I know that what made you upset wasn't what Namjoon said, but it's something else, isn't it?" Yoongi looks blankly into the sky without replying. It receives a sigh from the man standing next to him.

"I won't pressure you to tell me--"Jhope softly said.

Yoongi cuts off his friend and says, "I'm upset because I'm doing something I don't want to. It's unsettling ---". Jhope gives a broad smile because he knows how this is going to turn out.

As he stares at his stoic face, he replies, "Because you lost a bet?"—Jhope chuckles.

"The money goes to our charities from different countries, such as funding colleges, schools, and families in need," Jhope informs with a genuine smile.

"It's not that I don't want that, it's just, I don't like being documented, especially since this reality show is about the richest businessmen and women in Korea...I don't particularly enjoy displaying my wealth, and it will put me on the radar of every gold digger in Seoul," Yoongi admits. Jhope pats his shoulder gently.

"Trust me, this will be an adventure of a lifetime," Jhope says thoughtfully. "Where are you shooting for the reality show?" he asks.

"...Busan, one of the new studios under my AgustD label," Yoongi reacted apprehensively. Rather than being out in the world interacting with people, he enjoys being busy at his office composing.

'So it's not a big deal, but I understand why Namjoon stays in Seoul," he said.

"What makes you say that?" The cat-eyed man asks with a calculating look.

"He wants to make sure you don't chicken out," Yoongi gives a short chuckle hearing that. This doesn't go unnoticed by Jhope as he has a prideful aura around him, glad that he made his friend laugh.

"When have I ever chickened out--" Yoongi grumbles.

"--well, there was that time--" Jhope stated.

"--Don't answer that," Yoongi purses his lips. It's not like he 'chickens out' from bets he lost, and he just cunningly finds ways not to do them...very different from "chickening out".

"Is it safe to approach?" Namjoon's voice echoes out.

"Come join us, Joonie," Jhope calls out, gesturing for him to join them, which he does.

After a moment of silence, Namjoon breaks the silence.

"Yoongi...I know that you don't want to don"t this--" Namjoon explain, but Yoongi quickly interrupts.

"--A bet is a bet, I can't 'chicken out' this time," Yoongi air quotes, gaining a laugh from Jhope.

"If you do need assistance, I'll be here in Seoul, and I can book a weekend in Busan to help you get through this, and Hobi is just a phone call away," Jhope does a phone sign with his hand as Namjoon speaks, gaining a smirk from Yoongi.

"Do you want to hear something interesting Selena told me earlier?" Jhope asks randomly. Namjoon and Yoongi give him a curious look.

"Sure," Yoongi shrugs and Namjoon nods.

"Did you know that French fries weren't first made in France? It was Greece," A distant look clouds Namjoon's face.

"Jin will be sadly disappointed if he heard that. After you guys left, he said, and I quote, 'I'm going to the baby maker of fries'," Namjoon laughs. Jhope shakes his head with a loud laugh Yoongi joins in with his gummy smile.

"Of course, Jin would say that," Yoongi replies with a shake of his head. The other to give their attention to the pale-skinned man beside them.  After a minute, the laughter dies down, and Yoongi sighs.

"So tomorrow everything starts..."He looks dejected, and he hates it, period.

"A start of an adventure," Jhope shouts out gleefully.

"And new experiences," Namjoon states with a broad smile.

Each of the seven young billionaires had to pick locations of their relatively new businesses in different parts of the nation, so the three friends decided how they would contact each other during the show's shooting and give information about their locations. A situation where employees are unfamiliar with their appearance and making things easier. This show will help them learn more about their companies, the spirit of their ever-growing workforce and hopefully learn something about themselves.

"My flight is leaving in a few hours. See you soon, young ones," Jhope checks his phone not before giving two of his best friends a wide smile.

"Yoongi, you got this, so no worries, it might change your perspective on things...find yourself once again" then Jhope enters the elevator and disappears.

"The make-up team should arrive in a few minutes, and we should get going,"
Namjoon states. This earns an eye roll from Yoongi.

"I can't believe I'm doing this," Yoongi sighed as he following after Namjoon towards the elevator.
