"I thought you were ill," Jungkook sat down on the expensive couch, leisurely.473Please respect copyright.PENANAonJ8QdnOYL
A good-looking man stood up from his chair and sat in front of him. He then asks for a glass of water and George poured him one.473Please respect copyright.PENANACW1SdmtWXV
"What's this sudden private meeting for me to attend?'
"Tsk, tsk. Jungkook my son, how could you say that to your father?" The man sadly said as he took the water from George and drank it.
Jungkook raised his eyebrows, not trusting his father's words.
"Maybe I should really call mom and ask her to-"
"Wait! Okay, man, I'll tell you!" His father quickly rose to his feet, hands extends as to grab the phone.
Jungkook slyly smiled at his father. He put his phone back inside his pocket and crossed his legs.
"So?"
His father sighs as he pulled a sad face. Jungkook remains emotionless.
"I wanted to retire early so I can spend more time with your mother,"
"Is that all?" He said as he grabs the glass of water, given by one of the staff. His father opened his mouth but was cut off.
"Young master, may I say something from the madam?" George asks
"Yes George, you may,"
George cleared his throat.
"Master, madam IU said "Dad, if you dare lie to kookie and not tell him that he's gonna be an uncle, I will stop talking to you. Period." That's what she said," George said as he switches back to his monotone voice from a high-pitched, imitating Jungkook's sister.
Marcus looks at George and his son with an open mouth. Too shocked to say anything.
"An uncle huh. . ." Jungkook mumbled473Please respect copyright.PENANAcCPL9X3MSB
He took his jacket off and hang it on the couch's arm, leaving him in his white shirt and his neck exposed. 473Please respect copyright.PENANAXmXLdmeaDa
"Dad, I thought you said you were sick not my noona. You were complaining about how tired you were and how you can't sleep because of work,"
Marcus nervously swallowed as sweat trickled down to his forehead.
"That's why I came back from New York with the others cause I was planning on giving you a hand, not inherit the business,"
"B-but I want to rest already!" Marcus childishly complained.
Jungkook tiredly sighs as he massaged his temple. He looks at his dad, whose busy throwing tantrums, and decided to make the worst decision in his life.
"Alright, fine,"
Marcus stopped moving and slowly look at his son.
"I'll take over the company or whatever you want," Carlos smiled from ear to ear "B.U.T." Carlos didn't move an inch "You can't tell me anything on what not and what to do. You will let me take full control of the company, I'll do things on what I see fit for these company to continue to survive,"
Carlos nodded his head so fast as he sprung up from the couch and went to his desk. His excited physique made him look like a young man as he excitedly dialled his wife. Jungkook couldn't bear to watch the scene between his father and mother.
He stood up and walked towards the door. He stops and turned to George, who was behind him.
"Don't follow me. I want to take a look at the company by myself,"
George bowed. Jungkook look around the office one last time before leaving the room to take fresh air. 473Please respect copyright.PENANAhyy2h35AoS
Damn it, I should've had spent a day planning the whole interior if it was to be given to me. But at least, it's ready when I take over. 473Please respect copyright.PENANAkRA4ArzKwB
Jungkook called his friends and discussed the plan as he went inside the elevator.

A knock woke Lisa from her work. She raised her head and saw her cousin, Tzuyu, walking towards her with her brother, BamBam, and her friends in tow. She tiredly smiled as she finished the remaining liquid of her Butterbeer.
"You weren't planning on skipping lunch, aren't ya?" Bambam looked at Lisa sternly
Lisa smiled sheepishly as she scratched her head before standing up and stretching her tired muscles. She grabbed her bag as she motioned for others to leave. Lisa waved her hands to Celeina as she waved back before continuing her conversation with the staff.
"Well, I was kin~da not looking at the time,"
The group went downstairs to the cafeteria to get their food. They all proceeded to their favourite spot as they chatted happily with each other. As they all settled in the chairs, more of their friends showed up and joined the group. Bambam kissed his little sister's cheeks before saying bye to the girls and left to join his friends.
"Guys, did you hear that Marcus is handing the company to his son, who apparently been studying in the US for years?" Yeri gushed as she popped a slice of french fry in her mouth
"Seriously?! I never heard of this!" Seulgi exclaimed
"Wait, what?!" Jennie said with shock.
"Apparently, he came back here to help his Dad but Marcus tricked him saying that he was ill. He didn't tell him that he was gonna retire and enjoy his retirement with his wife. Meanwhile, his only son will be the one to handle the business and whatnot," Wendy calmly explained
"Are you kidding?! What type of person does that to their only son?!" Lisa said angrily as she stabbed her chicken before eating.
"MARCUS DOES," Everyone said at the same time before laughing.
"Alright, imma head out to the vending machine to buy me a drink," Lisa stood up to throw her garbage before coming back to grab her belongings.
"Ya need help?" Rosé said. 473Please respect copyright.PENANAwBydAVPePU
Lisa put her bag on her shoulder as she arranges her hair. She shook her head and sent a message to her brother.
"You just wanted to walk around, didn't you?" Rosé stuck her tongue out as Jisoo shook her head before eating the salad "You're such a bad liar,"
"Nah, I'll be fine, y'all enjoy your food," Lisa said bye to her friends and made her way to her favourite vending machine.
After many turns, the machine finally came into view. Lisa quickly inserted her bill as she pressed the buttons to get her drink. Her phone buzzed in her pocket. She answered the call as Jisoo's name flashed.
"Whatcha want, unnie?" Lisa grabbed her Arizona; green tea from the basket. She opened the soda can and took a sip.
"Joy said that there will be a staff meeting around this afternoon."
Lisa choked on her drink as she lightly punched her chest and coughed at the same time.
"Wha-what?! You gotta be kidding me?!" Lisa screamed not noticing the man behind her quietly standing.
Jungkook stands a few meters away from the female, who was screaming on the phone, with her back facing him. He combed his hair with his fingers as the breeze swept his sweats, cooling down his body. The lady, in front of him, continued to speak in a not-so-loud voice.
"Hold on, why was it only notified just now?"
The lady switched to her left side, giving Jungkook the view. He blinked his eyes fast when he saw the same girl this morning at the elevator. 473Please respect copyright.PENANAzrxg9emg0D
No way! That's . . .473Please respect copyright.PENANAPCmLAc6LCz
He sucked a quick breath and his hand trembled in his sides. The image of the girl in that dark alley, who saved him when he was wounded, was now in front of him and within his reach.
"Argh, seriously?! This is like the worst timing ever! I have a lot of papers to work on! Like I love my job but I hate papers with passion," Lisa continued to rat on the phone completely not noticing the tall man behind her whose busy staring intently at her side profile.
Jungkook slowly took small steps towards the girl, eager to touch her physically. He wanted to know if this is reality or an illusion. His eyes never look away as his heartbeats his chest so hard, wanting to explode.
"Alright, I gotta go. I'll meet you guys later," Lisa turned around, not looking away from her phone, as she hang up the call. She put her phone inside her purse and walked. Her body suddenly collided with something hard as her soda slowly spilled its liquid in a clean white shirt. Her mouth opened wide with shock as the shirt slowly absorbed the liquid, only leaving a small size of a yellowish stain.
