Chapter 1
The television buzzed in the corner of the grand office, the reporter's voice crisp and professional:
?
In a week, the presidential election campaigns will officially begin, with candidates gearing up for 22 days of intense campaigning. All eyes are on the frontrunner, Mr. Jeon Taesoo, as he prepares—
The voice was drowned out by the sharp slap of a newspaper hitting the polished marble floor.
Jeon Taesoo (Jungkook's father)
HE REALLY CAN'T LET ME LIVE IN PEACE, CAN HE?!
Jeon Taesoo, a man in his mid-fifties with graying hair and an aura of authority, bellowed in frustration. His sharp suit, tailored to perfection, strained slightly as he leaned forward, gripping the edge of his desk with white knuckles.
In the corner, his secretary stood stiffly, head bowed, avoiding her boss's fiery gaze. Behind her, three advisors exchanged nervous glances, none daring to speak up.
Taesoo took a deep breath, attempting to steady himself, though his tone remained biting as he asked:
Jeon Taesoo (Jungkook's father)
Where is he?
The secretary hesitated before answering:
?
His last location was traced to... Mr. Min's residence.
Taesoo's brow furrowed as he leaned back, his frustration shifting into confusion.
Jeon Taesoo (Jungkook's father)
Min? You mean Min Yoongi? That producer?
The secretary confirmed with a nod.
Taesoo pinched the bridge of his nose, exhaling sharply. His words were laced with contempt.
Jeon Taesoo (Jungkook's father)
And what about the bodyguards? Can't they do the one thing they're paid for? What's the point of having them if they can't even keep track of him properly?
One of the advisors, a bespectacled man with a cautious demeanor, stepped forward.
?
Sir, with all due respect, Mr. Jeon has a... knack for evading them. He's been slipping away unnoticed for months now, and his escapades are becoming more frequent. If this continues into the campaign period, it could turn into a PR nightmare.
Taesoo's glare sharpened, and the advisor quickly lowered his gaze.
Jeon Taesoo (Jungkook's father)
A PR nightmare?
Taesoo repeated mockingly.
Jeon Taesoo (Jungkook's father)
You think I don't know that?! I can barely go a week without seeing his damn name splashed across headlines!
His eyes flicked down to the discarded newspaper on the floor. The bold headline taunted him:
"Presidential Candidate Jeon Taesoo's Son, also nation's top Model - Jeon Jungkook. Found Partying at Yet Another Exclusive Bar"
Beneath it, a grainy photo of a younger man—dark hair tousled, a mischievous smirk on his face, and arms slung lazily over a pair of equally disheveled companions—stared back at him.
Taesoo sneered and looked away, disgusted.
Jeon Taesoo (Jungkook's father)
This won't do.
One of the advisors ventured cautiously:
?
What do you propose, sir?
Taesoo leaned forward, his tone colder, more calculated.
Jeon Taesoo (Jungkook's father)
I need to get him under control before this spirals any further. Find him. Now. I don't care how you do it—drag him out of Min Yoongi's house if you have to. And when you bring him here...
His voice dropped into a deadly calm.
Jeon Taesoo (Jungkook's father)
He and I are going to have a very serious conversation about his priorities. I will not have my son jeopardizing this election.
The room was silent as the weight of his words settled over everyone present.
The secretary finally spoke, her voice trembling slightly.
?
Understood, sir. We'll locate him immediately.
Jeon Taesoo (Jungkook's father)
Good.
Taesoo snapped, gesturing for them to leave. As the group began to file out, he muttered under his breath:
Jeon Taesoo (Jungkook's father)
That boy will be the death of me.
When the door clicked shut, he leaned back in his chair, staring out the window at the sprawling city skyline. His jaw clenched, his mind racing.
If his son wanted to make this difficult, then so be it. But he'll show him who has last say..
Chapter 2
The room was a picture of careless indulgence: clothes haphazardly tossed on chairs, an empty wine glass teetering on the edge of a side table, and a faint scent of cologne mingling with mischief. Jungkook lay sprawled on the bed, shirtless, his tattooed arms resting over his eyes as he snored softly. The marks trailing down his neck and collarbone were a silent testimony to another wild night, a chaos he couldn't quite remember but certainly relished.
Peace reigned for approximately five more seconds before a splash of ice-cold water hit him square in the face.
Jeon Jungkook (Model)
WHAT THE—
.Jungkook jolted upright, cursing loudly as droplets cascaded down his chest. His hand wiped furiously at his face as he blinked out the shock.
Jeon Jungkook (Model)
YAH, HYUNG! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?
Yoongi stood at the foot of the bed, bucket in hand, looking entirely unimpressed. His black sweatshirt and loose jeans screamed indifference, but his sharp glare told a different story.
Min Yoongi (Jungkook's Best Friend)
Good morning, sunshine. I see you had a productive night destroying my house again.
Jungkook groaned, flopping back onto the bed dramatically.
Jeon Jungkook (Model)
You're so mean, hyung. You know I get killer headaches the next day. Couldn't you at least be a little nicer to me?
He reached for a pillow, clutching it over his pounding head.
Yoongi rolled his eyes, yanking the blanket off Jungkook with a sharp tug.
Min Yoongi (Jungkook's Best Friend)
Get up, you brat. Take some medicine before your headache turns you into a bigger idiot. And stop using my place as your hideout after your messes. You've got your own damn penthouse, use that.
Jungkook peeked out from under the pillow, his lower lip jutting out in a pout.
Jeon Jungkook (Model)
But you're my only hyung who I trust. Where else would I go? Namjoon hyung would lecture me, Jimin would record my misery for TikTok.
He stopped himself, suddenly smirking at the thought.
Yoongi threw his hands in the air.
Min Yoongi (Jungkook's Best Friend)
You're going to get me killed one day. Your father is going to make me disappear for hiding you every time you pull a stunt.
Before Jungkook could respond, the sound of the doorbell echoed through the house. Yoongi froze, glaring at Jungkook.
Jungkook glanced at the clock on the wall, his smirk growing wider.
Jeon Jungkook (Model)
Ooh, he's pissed. They came sooner than I expected.
Min Yoongi (Jungkook's Best Friend)
They? You mean your father's associates?
Jungkook nodded, swinging his legs over the edge of the bed with a casual shrug.
Jeon Jungkook (Model)
He hates being embarrassed, so I guess my face on the news again didn't help his blood pressure.
Yoongi rubbed his temples, muttering under his breath.
Min Yoongi (Jungkook's Best Friend)
Why do I let you in my house? Why do I even like you?
Jeon Jungkook (Model)
Because I'm adorable.
Jungkook quipped, throwing on a discarded hoodie before ruffling his damp hair.
