Song: Pick your favourite

The office area started clearing as soon as the clock struck 6 o'clock.

This was the best time of the day when all the employees of Kim Corp. would leave their comfy chair that held so much tension of office work. It was finally time to head back to home. Why won't anyone be happy?

However, one person was unaffected by all of this. His eyes were rapidly roaming on his laptop screen while adjusting his glasses.

"Sir, I have arranged all the schedule for tomorrow.", His secretary stood while pursing her lips tighter as she waited for her boss's reply.

"Thank you, Lisa. You can go.", He replied without removing his glance from the screen.

"Thank you Sir.", She replied shortly and sprinted out of the door thanking the god in mind that her boss didn't stop her for extra hours. She was finally free to meet her boyfriend.

And the office cabin became completely silent. Only clicks of keyboard keys were heard throughout the cabin. Suddenly silence broke as his phone's loud ringing was heard. He frowned and looked at the caller ID and without giving it much attention, he put it on silent. But the phone rang again. He sighed and answered.

"Hel—"

"Yah Kim Taehyung!!! Where the hell are you?"

"What is it Yoongi?", Taehyung calmly asked. He could clearly hear Yoongi gasping in the background.

"You brat... Don't tell me you forgot about my party!!", He yelled from the other side.

"What party? You know I have been busy lately. And besides, I don't do 'Party'.", Taehyung said as he continued typing his mail.

"I swear I would smack you once you come in front of me. Don't you dare show me that attitude. That just suits me. It's my birthday if you have forgotten. Come here fast. I don't wanna hear otherwise.", Yoongi huffed.

Taehyung shut the laptop sighing. He rubbed his eyes and replied, " I'm sorry Yoongs. It just slipped from my mind. I will be there in few."

"Do you think care I about your sorry? I'm still gonna smack you once you're here. I wouldn't have even called if it wasn't for Jungkook who is waiting for you since forever.", Yoongi mumbled. Taehyung raised his brows.

"Jungkook?"

"Yeah... Of course he's here. Because he isn't a forgetful brat like you. I was angry and wasn't gonna call you, but I feel bad for that kid.", Yoongi said.

"But Yoongs..."

"Zip... I know what are you gonna say. But the least you can do is be nice with him. At least as friends. Now come fast.", Yoongi yelled once again before hanging up.

Taehyung sighed and looked at his watch. 7:30 pm. He pushed himself out of the chair headed towards the door.

______________________________

The music was blasting in the retro club.

Taehyung made his way through the messy crowd who was going crazy over the beats of the song with alcohol in their veins. He spotted a familiar male who had raised his hand to get his attention.

Taehyung sprinted towards him and hugged him with a small smile.

"Happy Birthday Yoongs."

And a sharp pain of slap rang on his back of the head.

"Oww..."

"That's what you get for forgetting my birthday. Why the hell are showing up here in work clothes!?", Yoongi yelled. It was really hard to communicate when the volume was too high.

"I was in office earlier. I came here directly.", Taehyung yelled back. Honestly speaking he never liked clubs of parties. The only parties he attended was the business ones. But he never could say no to his bestie, Yoongi.

"You really need to loosen up, Kim.", Yoongi shouted and handed him the shot glass. Taehyung downed it without a question. Yoongi disappeared towards the dance floor as Taehyung remained seated at the bar stool.

"Hii....", A voice came from behind. Taehyung immediately recognised it.

Jungkook.

He turned around to see the said male standing there with a smile on his face. It were almost 2 years since he last saw him. And boy did he changed alot.

Now Jungkook has grown his hair a little. He was now bulkier than before. But his face was still the same. Baby face.

It was awkward, Taehyung thought. The last time he met Jungkook was at a Restaurant. When Jungkook had asked him out and he had rejected him. And their childhood friendship kind of crumbled down since then. They didn't talk much after that. But after seeing Jungkook again, he felt that they could cherish their friendship once again since Jungkook gave him his familiar sweet bunny smile.

"Hii Kook. How are you?", Taehyung asked.

"I've been fine... You?"

"I'm fine too.."

"...."

"...."

"Gosh this is awkward...", Jungkook huffed out.

"Yeah...", Taehyung responded as he looked at him. Both of them looked at each other and suddenly started laughing.

"I missed this...", Jungkook said laughing while wiping the tear from his eye that formed due to how hard they laughed.

"Me too..."

It didn't take much time for them to warm up with each other. Yes, it was awkward at first knowing that Jungkook still had the same feelings for Taehyung. But he wasn't letting it become a hurdle between their friendship. He understood that Taehyung didn't have the same feelings for him.

Or more like he would never have such feelings for any boy in particular. He was straight. And he was waiting for the perfect moment when he will meet the perfect girl of his choice.

But first he was just focused on his business. Girl and marriage are trivial things that should come later after his most important goals. He got the hold of his father's company just few months ago and it was his top priority.

"So there's still no one who caught you eye?", Jungkook asked curiously playing with the glass in his hand.

"Nope. No one's that perfect who will worth even my attention.", Taehyung said as he crossed his legs elegantly and Jungkook thought there was nothing more perfect about Kim Taehyung.

Kim Taehyung was definition of perfection.

The night went on with the talks with Jungkook while Yoongi was dead drunk. Jungkook offered to send Yoongi home as Taehyung had the office tomorrow. He didn't drink more than three small shots for that.

He bid goodbye to both of them and headed towards the parking lot while looking at his watch.

11 pm.

'I will need 30 minutes to reach home. Then 15 minutes for shower. Need to check few documents before sleeping.', he mumbled to himself. He was planning everything beforehand.

He hated it when anything went out of his planning. So he kept making his schedule in mind while driving.

Suddenly he was snapped out of his thoughts when he saw someone in the middle of the road. And he pressed the breaks as hard as he can.

The tires screeched loudly and his car came to abrupt stop. His breathing became so fast as he came out of the car to look at the stupid person who god knows what was doing in the middle of the road this late.

Abd seemed like that person was passed out there. Must be because of the fear of car striking. Taehyung immediately crouched down to check on him. He turned him around and checked his pulse.

Gladly he was breathing. But now what Taehyung was gonna do?

He sighed as he nestled his arm under his knees and other arm behind his head to pick him up....

"What a nuisance..."
