Taehyung arrived at his mansion a while ago. Yoongi had insisted that he could have him dropped but Taehyung did not want anymore trouble so he just told the other that he would take a cab to return home.

He is currently sitting in his room with Yeontan on his lap. Mingyu is not at home at the moment. Taehyung is scared. He does not know what he would say to his brother who definitely must be so mad at him.

Taehyung runs his hands through Yeontan's soft fur as the pup sleeps comfortably on his appa's lap without any care of the world. Sometimes the brunette cannot help but feel jealous of Yeontan. Yeah, it sounds ridiculous. He knows that.

Soon his thoughts are interrupted by the knock at his door. He quickly sits up straight and tells the person to come in. The door creaks open and he sees his brother's head peak inside. Taehyung tries to keep himself calm and the smile the older gives him helps him in calming down a little.

"How are you, Tae?" Mingyu asks as he enters the room. He softly closes the door behind him, not wanting the little creature on the lap of his brother to wake up due to the noise.

"I-I'm good, hyung." Taehyung forces a smile.

"Why are you stuttering, little brother? Are you perhaps lying to me?" Mingyu raises his eyebrows and Taehyung curses himself. He knows damn well how his brother can literally read him like an open book.

"No, I'm not." Taehyung puts his best acting skills at work. He does not understand why Mingyu is acting like this. Does he perhaps not know about what happened? Is that even possible that Kim Mingyu does not know? But Taehyung is in a fix. If Mingyu is not mentioning it, should he also pretend like it never happened or should he confess?

"That's good. I came here to ask you something though." Mingyu says, plopping on the bed next to his brother. Taehyung nudges his head, asking what he wants to tell him.

"I have a meeting with the Orion at the Park Hyatt Hotel tomorrow." The older says. "Okay?" Taehyung wonders why his brother is telling him this.

"I also know you have an exhibition in the same hotel tomorrow." Right. Taehyung has an exhibition there tomorrow and he completely forgot about it. What the hell is Beomgyu even doing? Why didn't he remind him? Taehyung makes a mental note to talk to his secretary about the same.

"I do. What about it?" The younger is getting impatient. He knows that its not all that Mingyu wants to tell him. There is more to that.

"So I want you to cancel or postpone your exhibition. Or maybe you can change the location. I don't care. I just don't want you at the Park Hyatt tomorrow." Mingyu says or more like declares. Taehyung's eyes widen. "W-What? But why?"

"Because the members of Orion are going to be there too. I don't want any other mafia group around you. It's not safe."

"But some of the Yakuza members are going to be there too. I'll have my guards too. What can even go wrong, hyung?" Taehyung asks farrowing his eyebrows. He does not like the idea his brother is suggesting. Why should he stay away? Why does he need to stop his work because of a reason like this? It's not fair.

"Oh you have no idea what can go wrong, Tae. Jeon Jungkook is crazy. You have absolutely no idea to what extent he can go to get what he wants and even though we have an alliance with them, I clearly don't trust that Jeon Jungkook. His father was a trustworthy person but he definitely isn't. All he wants is power and he can go to any extent to get that. Do you understand what I'm trying to say?" Mingyu asks and maybe he is right too. Jungkook does have that kind of a reputation.

Taehyung sighs, "I understand what you're trying to say, hyung but I cannot cancel my exhibition or make any last minute changes. There are a lot of people working to make the program a success. They've been working for so many days to make this exhibition the best one Tokyo has ever seen. I think we'll be throwing all their efforts in the trash if we ask them to change everything they're doing now. Also, people have bought tickets. Changing the venue is not an option." Taehyung says, measuring every possibility.

"Look Tae, I don't care. Just postpone it or just... do anything but I shouldn't see you at the Park Hyatt Hotel tomorrow. I have already informed Beomgyu about the same. Make sure you do as I say." Mingyu says and stands up. He ruffles Yeontan's fur before leaving the room.

Taehyung grits his teeth. Why are people just making him mad and angry since yesterday? First Jungkook and now Mingyu.

He loves his brother a lot, don't get him wrong. But he absolutely hates it when the older treats his work as less important because he is the leader of the Yakuza, one of the most feared mafia groups in the world. Everyone's work is important and you cannot just take decisions for someone else, specially without consulting them.

Taehyung grits his teeth before pressing the bell to call his assigned servant. Soon, Minjae knocks the door and walks inside. "Yes, Mr. Kim? Do you need something?"

"Send Beomgyu here quickly!" Taehyung says sharply. Minjae quickly nods. The young master really looks mad right now and he does not want to add on to his anger.

-----------------------------

As soon as Beomgyu steps inside the room of the painter, he receives a cushion slapping him right across his face. He looks at Taehyung with a surprised expression but Taehyung only glares at him coldly. "Pick up that cushion. It's my favourite one."

"You didn't have to throw your favourite purple cushion on me, Taehyungie hyung. There are so many other cushions for that." Beomgyu says, placing the cushion back on the bed. This annoys the brunette further. He takes another pillow and starts hitting the younger continuously.

"I'm sorry, hyung. I'm really sorry." Beomgyu starts apologising, covering his face with his hands. He knows why he is getting hit like that. Once satisfied, Taehyung throws the pillow away and continues to glare at the younger. "Why didn't you tell me what hyung told you?"

"Mingyu hyung told me the plan when you were still out." Beomgyu says. Taehyung sighs. Right. He forgot he was away and out of reach for quite a few hours. Now because of that, his brother has already ordered his secretary to cancel or postpone his event. Taehyung feels frustrated. Its his own event but he himself has no say in it.

"Beomgyu, we are not cancelling or postponing the event." Taehyung declares. The secretary's eyes widen. Sure he works under Taehyung and his orders should be enough for him to get moving. But before Taehyung, he works for Mingyu and he cannot very well disobey him.

"B-But hyung, Mingyu hyung said-"

"I don't care what hyung said. It's my career, not his. Increase the security if you have to but the event is happening tomorrow at the decided venue, that is the Park Hyatt Hotel. That's final. I don't want to hear any more arguments." Taehyung says with finality in his voice as he pulls Yeontan closer to himself. Beomgyu sighs. He is in a fix now. What should he do?

"Going against Mingyu hyung is not the best idea, hyung. You know how mad he will be when he finds out that we defied his orders." Beomgyu still tries to convince the older but he is equally stubborn, just like his brother.

"What I say goes, Gyu. The event is happening. We can deal with Mingyu hyung later. Just don't let him and anyone else from the Yakuza find out that the even is still on until tomorrow." Taehyung instructs. Sighing, Beomgyu nods and leaves the room to instruct everyone to resume the preparations he had asked them to stop a few hours ago.

Taehyung sighs and lays on the bed. He closes his eyes, thinking about everything that happened in the past few hours. He should've known that his peaceful life was going to stir when he saw Jungkook at his exhibition in Seoul. Taehyung knows that his ex best friend has a lot of things going in his mind. He can actually see that. But what are those?

His thoughts get interrupted by the ping of his phone. He sighs and opens his eyes to grab his phone from the bedside table. There is a message from an unknown number.

Even before Taehyung opens the message, he has an idea who might have sent him the message.

Jeon Jungkook.

There's no way anyone else can find out his personal contact number--- well, no one else but Jungkook and whatever the ravenette told him earlier makes him believe that its indeed him who is texting him.

Taehyung opens the message and his guess indeed turns out to be right. Even though the name of the sender is not mentioned, he knows that this kind of message can only be sent by one person.

Taehyung cringes at the overused emoticon. Should he really start reconsidering his decision of going on with his plan of the exhibition tomorrow or should he just cancel it?
