"Jimin, to my office right now!" Jungkook issued a command to Jimin across the intercom.

Jimin ran to Jungkook's office, abandoning his workstation with just his phone and notepad in hand.

"Yes, sir?" As soon as he got to Jungkook's office, Jimin adjusted his suit. Even though his workstation was directly outside Jungkook's office, he had made a dash for it to avoid getting in trouble with Jungkook, so he was practically out of breath by the time he reached his destination. He was aware that Jungkook generally timed him, and the last time he arrived later than the ten seconds that Jungkook expected, he got in trouble and was put on a warning.

Jimin could see right away that Jungkook had something on his mind since he stood up while adjusting his tie. He suddenly became hopeful that Seokjin had not gone ahead and canceled with him as he was uncertain if Jin would walk Bam after understanding that Jungkook was Bam's owner.

"How old did you say Seokjin was again?"

"He is twenty-two, sir."

"And how old are you?"

Jimin was taken aback by the question, but he responded, "Sir, I am twenty-four years old and will soon be twenty-five. My birthday is-"

"I did not question your date of birth. I was interested in your age. Does it make you uncomfortable to pay attention and deliver replies restricted to what you have been asked?" Jungkook inquired as he glared in Jimin's direction.

Jimin exhaled deeply before shaking his head and replying, "No, Sir. My apologies."

"I do accept your apology. Anyway, in the event, if I came to you—not that I am—let's get that straight. You are not the sort of person I would go out on a date with, which has already been established; nevertheless, if I were to approach you with the proposition of going out on a date with me, what would you say?"

Again, this was not at all what Jimin had been anticipating, so he took a long breath before pausing to consider both the question and the person who had asked him to question. He replied smiling, "I would take your offer, sir, but of course, we are just talking hypothetically."

With a smirk on his face, Jungkook said, "Well, of course, you would. Everyone else would act in the same way as you. Because of this, I want an explanation as to why Seokjin laughed in my face when I offered him the opportunity to go on a date with me. I know that my standards may be higher than his and possibly what he used to.

Many individuals cannot imagine dating me because they know they are not good enough and are correct in thinking they are not good enough.

You are obviously the kind of person that loves to shoot for the stars, as seen by the fact that you provided the reaction that you did. I honestly believe that what you did was extremely courageous.

Even if Seokjin is capable of getting a date with me, or at least he could have in the past, I have decided that it is no longer in my best interest to do so since he does not seem to have the same interests as you. It is too bad for him. He is a youngster, and it is obvious that he does not recognize greatness, but it is possible that he did realize it and couldn't believe it. What are your thoughts on this?"

Jimin pursed his lips together as he fought off the impulse to laugh out loud. It seemed to him that Seokjin had turned down Jungkook, which made him want to laugh out loud. He hoped that Hoseok could have been there to hear it.

He used a lot of effort and managed to keep his composure as he thought of a response to give to Jungkook. "I am not sure why he didn't take the chance to date you, Sir. He may be taken, but did he explain why he didn't want to go out with you?"

"Because of that, I asked you to come here. I need you to investigate whether or not the man who came to my apartment with him on that particular day is, in fact, his lover. He refused to provide any information to me under any circumstances. He is quite rude and disrespectful.

I don't think it's a good idea for me to have him walk my dog. It bothered me that Bam rushed up to him when he noticed him. Is it acceptable for a dog to act in a manner that betrays its owner? As soon as the guy insulted me, Bam went to him like he had just received a special treat.

If I hadn't had a meeting this morning, I would not have let him take Bam out for a walk, but I couldn't remain and keep listening to how disrespectful he was. You made a poor decision in selecting Bam's dog walker. Jimin, I am sorry to say I am disappointed in you."

Jimin's eyes were wide, "sir, you requested that I get him as a dog walker-"

"No, I did not. I told you to get a dog walker. You found him."

"Sir, you got a dog because of him."

"Excuse me? When did I ever? You are saying I got Bam because of some person when I really got him because I discovered Bam at the shelter and adopted him to give him a great home."

Jimin was flabbergasted as he listened to Jungkook; he had no words to respond. He now understood why Hoseok responded the way he usually did to Jungkook.

"Sir, I am sorry you believe the way that you do. I will cancel all future appointments now that I know you do not want him to."

"I have in no way implied that. You should not even attempt to do it. Bam is pleased with Seokjin. It was evident that he favors him over you, which is logical given that he is my dog."

Jimin sighed, "then, care to tell me what you want me to do?"

"I told you, and be careful with that tone. I want you to find out if Seokjin has a boyfriend."

"I don't know how to do that." Jimin was nearing the end of his patience with Jungkook.

"Become his friend, do something. I don't pay you to do nothing."

"So you want me, your assistant, to become friends with a person you like so that you may know whether he is single or not?"

"First, I never claimed I liked him. Because of personal considerations, the only reason I am interested in learning about his romantic life is to satisfy my curiosity."

Jimin let out a loud breath as he struggled to cope with the situation. He understood very well why Jungkook did not have any assistants who stayed working for him for a long period and why the position paid as much.

"It is not my intention to offend you, Mr. Jeon, but I must politely inform you that the task you have requested of me is not only beyond the parameters of my job description but also goes much beyond it. I, too, do not feel at ease with what you are asking of me, and I do hope you would rethink it."

"Leave my office immediately! I'll sort this out all by myself."

"Sir-"

"I said get out!"

******

"It was probably too sudden for him. He might have been taken aback; maybe he would prefer a more subtle approach... you could send him a gift... yes, a diamond bracelet would be an acceptable gift...sure, no, I wouldn't offer to take him away for a weekend....no, I would not... no, do not do that or say that....If he is not single, then maybe don't approach him....oh, okay, yes, I will let Hoseok check....love you, brother, don't work too hard."

Because Hoseok was curious about what his spouse was talking about with Jungkook on the phone, he kept glancing at him while he spoke. "What exactly is it that Hoseok is looking into, and what does Jungkook want?" He asked immediately after Yoongi got off his call.

Yoongi sighed, "babe, can you do me one tiny favor?"

"What is it?"

"Are you aware of a guy that Jungkook could perhaps like?"

Hoseok rolled his eyes, "how can I not? He got a whole ass dog because of him."

"Great. Well, he was rejected. He is not used to rejection; however, I think he really does like this guy because he wants to undo the rejection-"

"Undo or just increase his ego that has been lowered by the rejection."

"Hobi, baby, don't be like this towards him."

"Oh, shut up; he acts like a child. Fucking grown ass man goes around being a living asshole to people and look you, hobi, baby, NO! Fuck him. Good, he got rejected. About damn time."

"I know you have a love-hate relationship with him, but really consider how much less of a headache my mother would be if he got married or settled down properly. I am not making a very large request of you. I only request that you confirm for him whether or not this individual is available for a relationship. You are aware that Jungkook is one of a kind and that he is exceptional. It's not often he meets someone he likes."

Hoseok rolled his eyes, "Jungkook doesn't know anything about the guy. I swear he only wants to get him into his bed or one date with him because the guy is fucking gorgeous."

"Is he?"

"He has a handsome face. I mean, his good looks really made an impression on me. I am aware of the reasons for Jungkook's obsession with him. If I weren't married and I could have my way with things, I would be interested in him without a doubt. On the other hand, Jungkook is an asshole. Due to the first conversation he had with the guy, it is easy for me to see why he was turned down."

Yoongi raised an eyebrow, "you would be interested in him?"

"Sure would; he is hot. You'd want him too."

Yoongi chuckled, "get those thoughts out of your mind, and don't ever let Jungkook hear you say that. I don't care what he wants with this guy. If he is fixated, it means there is something. He usually loses interest very quickly."

"Damn, you are right. It's been a while, and he is still obsessed. Fine, I will see what I can do. I doubt that guy will want him, though. He is also young and sassy, which I like. Maybe he would be perfect for Jungkook, probably could train his ass to have respect and be good to others."

"Baby, be nice."

"Fine!"

"Are you Kim Seokjin?"

While Taehyung was staring at the delivery guy, carrying a box and flowers in his hands, he shook his head vigorously while holding his toothbrush in his mouth. "No, but if they are for him, I can give them to him if that's what you want."

"Sure, print name and sign here."

Taehyung did as he was told and took the flowers and box with him as he closed the door.

"Jin, you have a man?" He shouted throughout their apartment to gain Jin's attention.

Moments later, Jin emerged from his room, giving Taehyung a confused look, "what are you talking about?"

"There is a bouquet of flowers and a box waiting for you here. Who are you dating?"

Jin was even more confused, "for me? I am not dating anyone."

"Lies."

Jin approached Taehyung and grabbed the box and the flowers from him. He then located the card tied to the box and read what was written on it.

Don't lose any more opportunities. I'll have a designated driver bring you to me at 8 o'clock tomorrow night for dinner. Be ready. Be on time.

"Is he serious?"

"Who? What's in the box?"

Jin handed the card and flowers to Taehyung, carefully opening the box, his eyes widening at seeing the diamond bracelet.

"What is wrong with this man? Why would he buy me this?"

"Wait, is that the guy with the dog?"

Jin sighed, "yes, it's him. I told him I am not interested."

"I guess he is interested."

"Shut up!"
