- At Triumph Steel Works Corporation -
Taeyong's father was overwhelmed. He made plenty of phone calls and begged plenty of friends, but all his attempts failed to solve the problem.
It was a true disaster; all of their big clients canceled projects with them because they were terrified of offending Jeon Corporation.
Meanwhile, the only Jeon Corporation's subsidiary company they collaborated with, JC Real Estate, had also declared that it would never work with them ever again.
Their main sources of income had disappeared. Without the support of these major companies, he could only earn a small fraction of their original revenue.
How could he run the company when he couldn't even afford to pay the employees?
"Dad, what's wrong?" Taeyong immediately left his friend's dinner party and returned to the company when his dad called him.
"Something disastrous."
"What's so disastrous? Is it that serious?" confused, Taeyong asked.
His father then told him everything, and in the end, he cursed, "Damn it, how did we offend Jeon corporation? Why would they release a death warrant against a small company like ours? How will we survive? The strong really like to prey on the weak these days. We can't afford to offend JC. I called JC's headquarters to talk to their executives, but they won't even give me a chance. What should we do? We worked so hard to get to where we are today. Will all of it go to waste now?"
Taeyong suddenly remembered something when he heard 'Jeon Corporation'.
"Dad, let me try to deal with this. I've got a classmate at JC."
"You have a solution?" Hints of hope sparked within his father.
"Let me try to talk to him first."
After he spoke, Taeyong left the company in anger.
Then, he sent a message in his high school WeChat group, "Who has Jungkook's number? Send it to me."
He waited a while, but no one answered...
With no other choice and no time to waste, he drove to JC headquarters in a rush.
"I want to see Jungkook."
"Do you have a reservation?" the receptionist asked politely.
"No I don't."
"I'm sorry sir, the president is very busy at the moment. You can't see him without a reservation."
"Stop this act, I'm his high school classmate."
"All the same, sir. Please don't make this harder for me. If you are his high school classmate, then you should be able to reach him yourself. I suggest that you call our president directly."
Taeyong wanted to break in, but JC had extremely tight security; if he couldn't even get through to the first floor, how in the world would he be able to get to the top level, 56 floors from where he was?

As Jungkook headed home in his humble Audi R8, Taeyong blocked him at the gates of the parking lot.
If Jungkook hadn't stepped on his brakes in time, he would've run him over.
Jungkook stopped the car with a bad complexion on his face and slowly lowered the car window.
"Get out of the car, Jungkook. Let's talk," Taeyong spat out aggressively.
"I don't think there's anything we can talk about," Jungkook remained full of pride.
