Time skip 3 days
Time: Morning session was over
Reporter: Mr Namjoon,we have been informed you're fighting the case of Mr Jeon Jungkook. Do you think a son against a father, regarding hierarchy and ancestral issues is becoming an increasing problem in this country? Many people are against you sir, for siding against such a big firm
Namjoon: I know. We will see after the case is over. I won't entertain any further questions
Reporter: But sir what about Mr Jimin? Mr Jungkook had been hiding him for...
Nj: He wasn't hiding him. He wanted the correct time
R: What would the correct time be, sir?
Nj: Right after the case approach went...
R: What about the increasing tax rates? Have you seen the finance commission has increased the rates by an amount of 1.2%. Under such... Sir! Sir!
The bodyguard blocked but more reporters flooded as Jungkook and Jimin came out
"I'm sorry, I can't answer anything without my lawyer"
He maintained a tight grip on Jimin's hand as they walked out who had his mouth shut despite the flashlights and the cameras and the reporters almost pushing them. Jimin had never faced such things, and to be honest he was scared out of his mind
He was scared of the police, the rigorous questioning, the dreadful looking lawyers, the judge every damn thing!
Scene Inside the car
Jungkook was called by Namjoon to discuss further matters as they sat down in the car, Jimin going in first
"Hey are you alright babe?"
Uh huh...
"Why are you sweating like that?"
(Tells the driver to decrease the temperature of the ac)
I'm fine. Just a bit tensed...
(An anxious smile)
"I know... But you were really good today. I'm proud of you. How did you cover up Lilly's case like that?"
Namjoon hyung had actually told me to install this app in your phone... No no don't worry I deleted it! (Jungkook was shocked for a second because his phone had several confidential information) so this app doesn't allow the call receiver to record anything. So it was so quite easy to frame her for giving you everything on her own accord
"I feel bad for doing that to Lilly sometimes...
(Looks at Jimin)
But after what she did to you...she deserves worse.."
Jungkook wraps an arm around Jimin's shoulder and pulls him closer, kissing his forehead
For how long do I have to...?
"Till we win I guess... "
Nice answer...

Time flew by and one hearing was proceeded by another as both the firms increased their profits and areas of sale
Jungkook had grown exponentially, the court case against a bigger corporate serving as a fuel to the fire, giving him more credibility from smaller firms under undue disadvantages from the bigger ones. Taking their help, and taking over several smaller businesses he became one of the most well known businessmen of the city. The case gave him problems but at the same time an enormous share of popularity and thereby profits
Since he was at a smaller position before all these began, fortunately he didn't have too many enemies, but this low key business turned out to be his advantage as well. The executives and shareholders who were against Mr Manoban had teamed up with Jungkook regarding their own share of profits and being the businessman that he was, Jk didn't let go of several of these offers for future cooperations.
It was finally one and a half year since everything began. The press, the police, the lawyers, several towns people all had flocked up in outside the court in this high profile case
But what they heard saddened many, delighted a few
The case came out as an understanding between both parties
Conversation
🍊"Namjoon"
🍊Jungkook
"According to the declaration, You need to hand over your mansion along with a 5.4% profit for the settlement of the deal. Freaking good offer.... He on the other hand will give you the farmlands, the grapevines and a 3.7% profit on total. That's all... It's pretty sad that you have to give up this mansion for your father's payment... Make sure to remind him of your favour upon him for the rest of his life...
You hired someone?"
Yeah I did Namjoon hyung. Everything will be shifted within a week. God! how much shall I miss this house... Thank you for saving the cafe
"Well when we began it was already known he would use everything to break you... Not you exactly... You know who...bringing up his past and baseless evidences on him looting you was such a cheap trick..."
Yeah my parents... Just want me in the palm of their hands
"Yeah... So you got 14 days... What about Jimin? Like bringing up his high school certificates and making new ones regarding his birth...God it was so much work! I saw his face, must have been hard for him reliving his past like that...and that stupid lawyer! I didn't know there was any need of this even, just plain wastage of time..so?"
He has not said much, just plain upset. I will send him off along with the maids and all other services to the country house till things get restored here. I will stay with Taehyung till I find out a suitable place or built up one rather... The only thing I'm worried about is his and my son's safety
"Don't worry, things are over.. "
Oh no! I have seen what father can do. The bodyguards stay put without any release from duty, even there. I'm going nuts that I can't stay with him nor can he with me at least at the moment...
"Jungkook relax... Everything is going to be fine. You're already married legally with those papers you and Jimin signed two months back. All three of us were witnesses"
Hope so hyung. I sincerely hope everything just gets better from now onwards...
Well did you see the Apple and cider orchards?
"Yes. How long till they are handed over?"
Along with the grapevines. Mr Manoban signed the contracts yesterday, will get them by the end of this week and father... Well I forced him to sign for the apples and the ciders. If only Jimin hadn't interfered then... I would have fucking seized his entire property on accounts of me paying for the deal he made before my birth and I'm sure the court would have favoured! You know what Minnie said?
*Jungkook don't do this. No one deserves to be ripped off from his roots. He worked hard and besides if he goes homeless think about the workers in his business! They will be ruined!*
Like Jimin has time to think about every living being on this planet except himself!
"Jimin's just too kind... Even after all that... "
...I don't know where he keeps so much of a heart... Mum started begging for her husband (she has no other job) outside the courtroom and Jimin just melted...can you believe it after all that? HE MELTED LIKE BUTTER! I know mum had once been a public speaker so she knows her way but still....
Whenever I bring this up, he's like *I have lost my family on bad terms Jungkook, it's better if you don't make enemies with them* Basically he let my father go. If only the court had not put forward the verdict on their own for his jail and the money for compensation regarding this...
Jimin even ended up saying I shouldn't have taken his farms! Can you believe that? Why should we be caring about their earning?
"I think your lover has seen a lot in his life prompting him to these kind of decisions"
I think more than anyone from outside, Jimin was the one stopping me from doing anything harsh to them. Though I didn't listen with regards to these profitable orchards. Business is business after all! My dad can go fuck himself. Without these orchards, he won't be able to carry on for long anyway
"Yeah that's right. Profiting from your... "
Don't make me sound that cruel hyung. Minnie might be soft, I'm not...
"He feels aloof or rather forsaken I guess because after what happened between him and his family, I think it's just that he doesn't want you to feel abandoned as he did or rather doesn't want you to take steps he knows you might regret 10 years from now"
I don't know and I don't care. The fact still stays if he wouldn't allow the court to punish them for the scams he did on other people and of course for our abortion by not providing any verdicts from his side then I have to settle things outside. So yeah what's better than snatching their source of income?
"...but you did more than just taking away his income..."
Unhhh... Just his mansion and the extra lands which he had bought himself. Though I had to sell them off after buying them anyway because illegal dealings are to be settled quicker than legal ones...
Yoongi hyung worked out his way though. Tobacco is a dangerous crop to be dealing with, and black market trades under the facade of white money, Mr Manoban is something really! And to think that he used to run his entire business, on my father's portion of land... Haha! Games and all...
But I have learnt one thing: Money is everything... How come yoongi hyung got those black documents and photos?
"Who do you think was helping Mr Manoban and taking half of the shares?"
Oh my! really?
"Mr Min just took advantage of the situation by turning all his black money into white by investing in the upcoming trade businesses, most probably to buy yours in future"
Wow! We all are a little bit corrupted I guess...
"It won't work otherwise unfortunately"
Don't tell this to Minnie though. He doesn't understand these rules and frankly doesn't need to. If he comes to know, he would probably end up saying let's forgive them... I don't even trust him at this point
"Hahahha don't worry"
Time Skip 7 days
🍑''Jimin"
♥️ Jungkook
It was early morning barely 6 am
Jungkook was disappointed at himself. He came straight from that gigantic mansion to a small house as he tried smiling at Jimin but was losing all his confidence looking at his sad face
I'm sorry Jimin. This is all I got...I had to invest more in the businesses so... And I never really thought that this day would come. Damn it! I should have built up another mansion... Besides you can't really complain mister!
Jimin got up on his toes and kissed Jk's cheek
"This is really beautiful Jungkook...I'm not upset because of the house...can't we really stay with you?"
Oh I...Minnie we have been over this. Bo needs space hun. I can literally sleep anywhere, even on my office chair. But I... cannot let you two have this stupid experience...
"What are you saying Gguk? We would be comfortable, you know my background I..."
I might stay with Tae and the team on days... I will not allow you to be there.
"...But I want to be with you..."
Hey baby boy... We will be together in a month... Just one month... But promise me one thing: you will take care of yourself, eat and live healthy and most importantly be happy. Promise me!
Jimin looked at Jungkook for a few seconds
"I will. I will be ready when you come back"
(A naughty smile and a wink)
Jungkook wanted to kiss him, chuckling as he bent but was pushed back as Jimin looked at Bo who was dead asleep on his lap. Jungkook laughed a bit...
Give him to me...
"Huh? Okay"
Jimin hands over Bo to Jungkook carefully as the child snuggled up due to more space on the chest
He's become heavy...
(Giggling)
(A smile)
''He's growing up after all"
Things went by smoothly as Jungkook got them a new home however unfortunately it took them over 5 months to reunite properly. But when they finally met up, they didn't have time for each other because Jungkook was surrounded by guests all the time as they prepared for their marriage publicly
Both of them were pent up but not allowed time, neither the opportunity
Bo stayed stuck with Jimin all the time till he was forced to stay with Jungkook because everyone was busy literally decorating Minnie like a pulshy
They had married according to the law but the guests? And just as Jungkook had promised, it was freaking big. Looked as if the entire corporate world was invited. Even Mr Manoban was there because no one wants another Maleficent! Bo looked like a prince... Though many pointed fingers but the businessman held onto the one who cared for him when he needed the most
Jungkook's parents shifted to another place. Jimin never got contacted by his family anyway
But both of them, two broken individuals were there for each other
Time Skip
2 days after marriage
"Jungkook"
"Do you really need me?"
Nj: OF COURSE!
"But YOU ALL PULLED ME AWAY THE NIGHT I GOT MARRIED! I COULDN'T EVEN ENTER MY HOUSE! Jimin was so angry! HE WAS SHOUTING!"
Tae: ;) My pleasure!
Nj: Tae don't do that!(laughing at a miserable Jungkook) You still have a conference and a photoshoot and you have to meet up with Hoseok. You will be a free bunny by Sunday and then go to heat with your partner as much as you wish
Tae: Poor thing :')
I feel bad
"FUCK YOU TWO!"
Nj: We can do that later on.
(Taehyung burst into laughter) Currently we have to complete all these works. I will bring in all the documents for the legal team.
"Do I have to stay in the office today as well?"
Nj: You can go with Tae and finish...
Tae: Yeah come along. I got plenty of room for fun ;)
"Why can't I go home? Jimin.... "
Nj: Jimin's the precise reason why I'm not sending you home. All he needs to do is make that pouty face and you will forget everything. But the thing is for doing it, you need a ton of energy and for energy you need food. This food is provided by your work. Trust me, viagra is only for the oldies not us. It's better to get it up...
Tae: Would you stop explaining everything in detail and just focus yourself, hyung?
"I HAVE NOT EVEN TOUCHED HIM FOR 6 FUCKING MONTHS! Seriously who kidnaps a man the night he gets married! What fucking viagra you even talking about? I have not had the opportunity to do it on our first night together"
(Making a highly cringy noise)
Tae: As far as I know you had many nights together...
Nj: Even better...Pent it up! Now complete all of this!
Despite Jungkook's arguments Nj and Tae forced him to work along with the entire management team
Time 12:45am
"Minnie... I'm sorry, but I am seriously very busy. The restaurant has just opened and I'm so..."
(Interrupts)
When are you going to come home Jungkook?
"I guess this Sunday. I'm staying at Tae's. Not only me but the entire team... The new house is quite far off from the cafe as you already know...takes seven hours to reach here... But I promise..."
...Don't promise me
(Frustrated)
You don't keep them...
"Minnie... Please don't get angry at me.... I'm doing this for all of us"
That's why I am not arguing till now... But why so many bodyguards and security around the house Jungkook?
"Nothing. Just some extra safety bun. Just safety... How's Bo?"
*Sends a picture*
He misses you...
"Awww... I do too. I will come back on Sunday...Now go to sleep. I will talk tomorrow''
But I...
(Wanted to talk)
Okay. You must be busy...
"Hmm yeah all the teams are working their asses off... Super super busy! Good night. Sleep tight and tell Bo I will bring a lot of cookies this time"
Alright! Nighty night...
*Cuts call*
Conversation
Tae: Jimin does not know about toxic fangirls or saesangs right?
"No he doesn't. They are pretty dangerous... "
T: I agree... Ever since those pictures came up,the photographers don't leave you...
"Leave *us* alone"
T: Yeah...Oh well! My mum enjoys it though (both laugh) Let's complete this.
"Yes"
The finance team, the legal team, the management and the culinary staff start working again after the short 15 mins break
Time Skip
Sunday
Jimin had carried out his entire routine as per everyday. But he did run off to check the door every time the bell rung. But so far it was 9pm and still no sign of Jeon Jungkook
He was sad and angry. His patience was getting tested as he felt like crying now
10:45pm
On the other hand, Jungkook was about to call him but instead ended up receiving one
Jungkook hello? when are you coming home?
"Jiminie I was about to call you. Actually I have to catch a flight the day after tomorrow to a shareholders conference so Namjoon hyung suggested to stay over and discuss the matter. You getting me? And I have to catch another flight from Tokyo to Italy after that meeting is completed. So I don't... "
When are you coming home? I did not ask all of this. I just want to see you. Can't I come over there?
"I would say rather not Jimin. It's not that I don't miss you or Bo or anything like that but honey, if you are here then I would want to spend time with you, but I would not be able to. And besides I'm 7 hours away from you and the environment is not particularly ideal for a kid to be here...I'm telling you sometimes I feel like I am the employee and Joon hyung is the boss. God! He's less of a lawyer and more of a father figure. Do this, do that I have to talk about the legal aspects... Hoseok hyung came the day before since I... "
Jimin hears someone calling Jungkook as he was talking
"... Oh Jimin! Listen, I have some important call... I will be back okay? Just hold a bit"
Okay...
Jimin kept waiting for half an hour till the call got cut off automatically
Jungkook came afterwards and called him back. It was received instantly...
"The call was pretty long. You remember those deals I signed up during the court case? They are the ones, some of them actually are pretty good. Rest I have to just ward off... Shouldn't do that but can't afford losses at this time... More the money... Hey Jimin are you listening?"
Jungkook... I want to meet you...
"I told you Minnie... "
(A light suppressed sobbing sound)
But I want to...
"Mochi you crying there? Oh My God! Shall we face time? Come on... I..."
You aren't coming home! I have been left alone... Uh..This is not fair (voice broken)
I keep waiting for you everyday. You are not here, I'm not allowed to go places, I have five guards following me wherever I go, even my jobs, I can't come to meet you... I feel suffocated...
(Crying)
No matter how many times I ask, you're always busy... Sunday becomes Thursday and the cycle goes on! You... You are behaving like Ji hai! He used to avoid me like this and now you're doing the same... Is it fun to behave like...
"Jimina stop! And this is not a request. I would not have married you if I had such intentions. I told you I'm busy and this means that I am. We aren't ordinary employees, Minnie that you go to work in the morning and return by evening....You have to understand...Go to sleep. Stop overthinking"
.
.
.
(Cries)
I'm sorry...
(Gulps)
"Good night"
Bye...but when are you...
*Jungkook cuts the call*
Jimin keeps crying
The younger knew
Time skip A couple of hours
The young cafe chain owner was going restless but then suddenly he packed up his bags
To Everyone
GUYS I WILL CATCH THE FLIGHT WITH YOU ALL. I NEED TO GO HOME! BYE!
Everyone bade him a goodbye smiling
"Taehyung, Namjoon hyung I'm sorry. But I have to go this time"
Tae: What but... Hmm... Jimin?
Jungkook nods
Tae: Alright. Be on time. The flight is at 8 sharp in the evening
"Don't worry. I will be there... Bye hyung, bye Tae"
Nj: Bye bunny... But be sure to...
"Yeah yeah"
It was 3 am at dawn. The streets were mostly empty and besides it was a 7 hour journey. Strenous for him... However building up an entire mansion takes quite a lot of time. So he could not shift his family immediately to the main city.
Mr Kim drove because Jungkook was sleepy as he laid down as much as he could in the back seat and kept snoring
Time Skip
5-1/2 hours
(Took less time because streets were empty)
JIMINIEEEE! I'M HOME!
But Agatha and Joonha came running,
SIR
A: Sir, Mr Jimin has gone to work. He would drop Boo boo to his school on the way as per the routine. Do you want me to call him?
"NO! Don't. He would come running back. When does he return?"
A: He will return by 6 in the evening. He goes to Miss Solar's cafe in the morning, then to his baking classes, the he picks up lil Boo and after that he works at Miss Hwasa's cafe finally to return home...
"Woah... He's got a schedule there. Haha... I thought I was the one busy... Ummm.. Don't disturb him. I need him to have that degree for me to employ him. Though I'm unsure (laughs) whether he would want to work for me"
Agatha and Joonha start chuckling because after so much time they all knew Jimin's nature
"I'm going to bed. Please prepare my lunch at 1
(Yawns)
I'm sleepy"
Scene Bedroom
DAMNNNN THIS BED IS BIG! I have to thank Mr Kuwon.... It's so freaking weird that I had come here only once despite being the owner... And this is the first time I am seeing the bed...
"Yeah"
(important staff had called)
"I will provide the papers by 6. Yes bye..."
Jungkook just hopped on the bed and fell asleep
"My back hurts... God!"
Time Skip
7:30pm
Jungkook had mostly slept and ate throughout the day and sent off his documents, attended a conference as per his schedule despite facing problems without direct communication
He heard Jimin coming back but as he had told Agatha not to inform him for a surprise
"What's taking him so late?"
Jungkook himself goes out after waiting for quite sometime,
"I should check Bo's room"
"Hello?"
Hu?
(Bo was surprised)
GOOGIEEEEE! APPAAAA! GOOGIE ISH HEAA!
Jimin comes out of the washroom after a few mins,
What are you-
Jungkook?
I did not... Think you would...oh God!
"What's so surprising? You cried.... I was bound to come"
