Author's P.O.V.:-
At Starglitter, In The Room...
"J-Jungkook..." Jimin called softly standing before him hesitantly.
Ae-Ri and Jungkook looked at him stopping their chatter, "What is it?"
"It's getting late for you both, you have to attend the script reading and she had to take the boys to their location," Jimin conveyed the message that Eunwoo and TXT members were dying to say while scratching his nape.
"Ommo, right! Or else I would get fired on my first day, Oppa I will talk to you later," Ae-Ri stood up to leave.
"Wait, after finishing the work I will pick you up," Jungkook declared.
"Pick me up to where?" Ae-Ri was baffled.
"To home," Jungkook stated.
"Home?" Ae-Ri's eyes widened cause she understood what her brother was implying. He wanted her to go home with him.
"But..." Ae-Ri was shilly-shalling on what to answer.
"Let's talk about everything clearly at home, now go," Jungkook said and Ae-Ri could only nod as she doesn't want to reject her brother twice.
And she left with the group to their location. While Eunwoo looked at Jungkook, "Now, let's go too. It's already so late."
Jungkook nodded and the three of them took the elevator and reached the meeting room where already the director, scriptwriter, screenwriter, producers- Hoseok and In-Yeop, Min Ho, Ji Hyun, SeokJin, some other known actors, and Yoongi who just came there looked at the trio as they entered the room.
The three of them bowed at once.
"Sorry, something came up on the way so I was late. I am sorry," Jungkook politely bowed 90° again and again.
"Ah, it's fine Jungkook-shi, today we just introduce the characters to mingle and know about each other to ease the atmosphere at the set," the Director said with a smile.
"Yes, that's right. So, please take your seat," In-Yeop showed his chair.
Jungkook took the seat while Eunwoo and Jimin stayed behind him with the other assistants.
"As everyone is here shall we start the briefing about the story?" The Director asked and everyone nodded.
"Ok, so this story takes place in the Joseon era. It's about three handsome men from different clans who were friends from childhood and their journey filled with endeavors. Jungkook-shi will be playing the role of the notorious tyrant King, Yi Yung, also known as Prince Yeonsan.
... SeokJinshi will be playing the role of his advisor and the prime minister of Joseon, Kim Hwan. While Yoongishi will be playing the role of Commander in Chief, Min Byeon, who is a ruthless warrior."
Everyone nodded at that and then the Director introduced other actors who were playing different characters in the drama.
And the meeting came to an end around late afternoon. They all got up to eat in the cafeteria as Min Ho prepared special meals for them all to celebrate their first drama together.
Min Ho and Ji Hyun were busy talking with the Director and the writers while eating.
Jin, Yoongi, Jungkook, Jimin, Eunwoo, In Yeop, and Hoseok were sitting around at the table and eating.
"Yoongi Hyung, finally you are back in Korea. I thought you would move to Thailand permanently for your boyfriend," Jungkook commented while munching.
Yoongi let out a deep sigh, "Don't remind me...it was hell for me."
"Why, Hyung?" Eunwoo questioned.
"You are too young to understand Eunu, leave it," Yoongi voiced out.
"I am not young Hyung, I am 24 years old. Come on tell me, did you win back your lover?" Eunwoo asked again.
"Yes, tell us. You ran to Thailand in such a hurry without telling us, you know how worried Yoonhyeong was?" Jin who stayed quiet until now spoke after finishing his big bite.
"Ah, that idiot Yoonhyeong, is he my assistant or your spy Hyung? Anyway, I got permission from his mother and she approved of our relationship but..." Yoongi paused.
"But?" Jungkook looked at him curiously.
"*Sighs* he didn't...Gene is still at the sulking stage but I brought him back with me and he is now staying in my mansion," Yoongi completed his sentence.
"You didn't kidnap him, right?" Eunwoo queried.
Yoongi didn't answer and was eating his food silently at the question.
"What, you kidnapped him?" Jin and Jungkook shouted at the same time and everyone looked at them and they just gave them awkward smiles while bowing and then everyone looked away as they already know the trio A-Star actors were just talking as usual in loud voices.
"Aish, shut up you both. It's not like that...I just kind of forced him to come with me," Yoongi responded as he stuck his fork on his steak making a blaring noise.
"Hyung ...I want details," Jungkook wiggled his eyebrows.
"Why...you want to learn more from him?" Jimin mumbled under his breath but Jungkook heard it as they were sitting side-by-side.
Jungkook glared at him, "You, bring those rice cakes and give them out to all of them," he ordered.
Jimin huffed as he stood up and went to bring the bag he kept in the trunk of the car while taking the car keys from Eunwoo,
"Sunbae, should I come with you?" Eunwoo asked.
"No need, Eunu. You enjoy the food, I will bring them," Jimin patted his shoulder and left while giving a sharp look at Jungkook who also glowered back at him until he left the cafeteria.
"Now I am curious about what's going on between you and that new kid, who is he anyway?" Yoongi asked as he took a sip from his wine.
"He is Jimin," Jungkook replied and Yoongi nodded, he already guessed it cause he was the one who dug into his whereabouts and gave the details to him.
"Your first love that you cry about whenever you are drunk?" Jin commented.
"Whoa! So he is your first love, huh?" In Yeop smirked and gave a look at Eunwoo who ignored him and looked away not wanting to interact with someone who accused him and called him a leech and whatnot.
In Yeop gritted his teeth,
>>>Let's see how many days that arrogance of yours will last...
"Yes, unfortunately," Jungkook stated with a bored look.
"Unfortunately? Then why are you keeping him by your side, huh? You act all that but still so soft at heart to hurt him," Hoseok chuckled.
"Hobie Hyunggggg~!" Jungkook whined.
"That's right, you are right on point. Kookie is just a softy and can't hurt anyone," Jin agreed with a smile and ruffled his hair.
"Jin Hyung, you too?" Jungkook pulled the corners of his lips together and sulked.
"They are not wrong though, Kook," Eunwoo smiled at him and pinched his nose.
"Eunuuu!!!" Jungkook got up from his seat and grabbed Yoongi's hand, "Hyung let's get out of here and have a smoke."
"Why me?" Yoongi sighed but followed him anyway to the smoking area.
Yoongi took out the box of Treasure Luxury Black- cigarette pack the costliest one out there from the pocket of his beige Valentino Garavani blazer.
They both kept the cigars between their lips as Jungkook fished out his Alfred Dunhill lighter from his Medusa Biggie Cargo pants and flipped the lid open. He pressed the button to unfetter the flame.
He pulled the lighter closer and lit their cigars together. Yoongi pulled out and inhaled his first puff followed by a soft exhale as he asked, "So did you hear from Aster?"
Jungkook placed one elbow on the railing for support and with his other hand he gently inhaled and watched as the ember and ash drew closer to his lips, he removed the cigarette and exhaled as the heap of smoke progressed into the air,
"Yes, he called me yesterday. The government is making their move and they sent some agent to spy on us, Hyung. But why do they think we are that easy, huh?"
Yoongi pressed the cigarette on his soft lips before he exhaled. He flicked the spent ashes into the ashtray, "Well, it's their loss if they think we are easy. I have increased the security in case. Let's see how good that new agent is, shall we?"
Jungkook hummed with a smirk as he puffed out some more smoke looking out and then his lips straightened as his glabella crinkled seeing Jimin talking and laughing with someone.
He bent from the railing to see who the person was but due to the wall he couldn't get a glimpse of the person, "Who is he talking to?" He threw the cigar on the ground and stomped it under his foot.
"Hm, what?" Yoongi frowned as he too bent and saw what Jungkook was looking at.
"Hyung, I will talk with you later, message me on my other phone if you get to know anything about that secret agent, ok?" Jungkook rushed out even before hearing Yoongi's answer.
Yoongi shook his head as he ground his cigar on the ashtray and walked inside while eating a mint chewing gum to remove the stench from his mouth.
Jungkook took the elevator and ran outside at jet speed and stopped as Jimin was coming inside while carrying the plastic covers in his hands.
He clenched his jaw as he couldn't see who Jimin was talking to and he bet that the smaller wouldn't tell him the truth even if he would ask him.
He took out his chewing gum and ate it and strode towards the smaller coolly who looked up at him with a light smile on his lips.
"Why are you... are you by chance here to help me?" Jimin asked with anticipation.
"No, why would I? You have too many expectations from me. I suggest you don't have any cause you would be heartbroken at the end...wait! That's the taste I want to give you back, right? Ah, I forgot that my main goal is to see you in despair," Jungkook asserted as he smiled sinisterly.
Suddenly the gleam in Jimin's eyes disappeared as he looked straight into the taller's eyes, his voice was stuck in his throat but he still managed to ask, "What happened? Why are you being like this again?"
"Nothing happened. Why am I like this cause this should be the way I have to be to make you suffer as much as I did," Jungkook squeezed the smaller's shoulders with so much pressure that he winced in pain.
"J-Jungkook...you are h-hurting me..." The plastic covers fell to the ground as Jimin's eyes welled up seeing the disdain in the taller's eyes for him.
"You should be hurt more than this," Jungkook released his grip and pushed him away, "Go and hand over those to Eunwoo and tell him after giving them out he can go home and you come down in ten minutes if not you will face some severe consequences, got it?"
Jimin nodded as he ran inside the building with the covers as tears stained his cheeks. He wiped them off with the back of his palm and entered the elevator.
Jungkook walked out of the building and looked every side to see any new person and then he saw the CCTV footage on the other building which had good access to where Jimin and the person he was talking to were standing.
He took out his other phone and messaged Yoongi to hack the other building's front CCTV camera and get the footage of Jimin.
Yoongi replied with a small, "Ok." And Jungkook went to the parking lot to get his car.
Jimin did as Jungkook asked him to and hurried down but he couldn't find Jungkook anywhere. Thinking that he was in the parking lot he ran there before the ten minutes given by him was over.
But what he saw made him panic as Jungkook was fighting with some group of people who were holding rods, knives and some were even carrying guns in their hands.
"Jungkook!" He yelled unconsciously, alarmed.
The men looked at Jimin and Jungkook shouted at him in frustration, "Tsk, run and get back into the building, Jimin!"
Jimin wanted to do as Jungkook asked but to his dismay, his legs became jelly due to the fear he was feeling, and couldn't move his foot even if he wanted to.
"Oh, is he your little lover everyone talking about, boys get that cutie pie!" A man ordered.
"Dare touch him and I will send you to hell in seconds," Jungkook threatened.
The men at first feared but the Man who ordered them laughed, "Let's see how you will do that, Jeon Jungkook! Boys get him!" He commanded again.
Two men were approaching Jimin and Jungkook was kicking the men surrounding him to go towards the smaller but...
