"Tae, why are you—"

"Ah, yes, Manager-nim," he sent an apologetic look to the two men having trapped him in an atrocious conversation about their companies. "I'll be just a few minutes, gentlemen."

They waved him off and continued on with their conversation, making Taehyung chuckle softly under his breath and grab a drink from a passing server.

"Manager— are you drunk? Did you hit your head?"

"I'm all yours now." He hummed quietly, smiling at fellow guests as he sauntered away from the main central area to the side walls, tucking himself in the quieter space. The crowd was just feet away, but no one paid any attention to him except his personal security, standing against a pillar and gauging the floor.

Taehyung was avoiding the bathrooms and secluded grounds for clear reasons.

"Hey, you're at a social party. Shouldn't you be, I don't know, socializing?"

"I am." Taehyung took a single sip of the bubbly drink, his nerves tingling and gut swimming. He was trying to hide his nervousness, but every social event like this just reminded him of both Bogum cases.

Both of which had happened right under the whole crowd's noses.

"Okay, not with me, I mean with all the guests."

"Keep me company for a bit, angel. You saved me from some unforgivable conversation over company stocks."

"Stocks are pretty important."

"Don't start."

The giggle washing into his ears made a curve immediate on his lips. He loved that sound. He loved that smile that produced it.

"What's on your agenda?"

"Being grateful I'm not stuck in a conversation about billionaires' financial standings."

"Oh, shut up."

Another laugh. Taehyung would sacrifice his patience a hundred times more if it meant endlessly getting Jungkook's music to his ears.

"Kidding, but I'm working right now. Today was pretty crazy." He could hear the frown.

"What happened?"

"Got ahold of a rental studio for independent artists, a place where I can do my shoots. I've already got bookings in line, and our trip to Andong solved my printing help— just finding a place during the winter cold is the challenge."

"You know, BigHit would probably let you use one of their's." Taehyung nimbly held the stem of the flute, swirling the contents. "I can put in a word."

"No, I got this. I just had to throw watermarks on some of my best and send it in there. They said I could get a discount if I was promising. Helps boost their name, too, that whole mutual gain thing."

The model froze and let his hand holding the alcohol fall to his side, staring out absentmindedly at the buzzing conversations hazy in his senses.

"Jungkook, if money's the problem, just tell me. I can help—"

"No. That's the biggest no I'll ever say. I'm not taking your money, Taehyung."

"Hey, I'm not pitying you. I want to help if I can. You're so stubborn sometimes." His voice died off as he saw a figure approaching him. "Move YSL to next week."

"Huh?"

"Nothing, sorry, person passing by." The model sighed softly. "Angel, you have me around and I don't know what to do with half the money I have. It'll be put into good use with you."

"Donate it." Taehyung already donated more than the usual person. Jungkook was frustrating. "I'm not taking it. I got this, Tae. Really."

"Okay, I trust you. If you do, though, don't hesitate. I'll just send my card over."

"Your fancy black card isn't going anywhere."

"You can't even let me spoil you, can you?" He chuckled softly, eyes flittering to the Rolex sparkling on his wrist. Still a few hours before it was a reasonable time to leave.

"Well, I'll take a spoiling amount of hugs."

"Jesus, you're so humble it hurts." Taehyung mumbled. "I'll just have to buy you something nonreturnable and then you can yell at me."

"Don't do that."

"No promises."

"Taehyung."

"Angel."

"How was your day?"

And there went his heart. Jungkook knew what cards to play to throw him off, too. "It was okay. Met the marketing team for some last minute changes. I've been nervous all evening, but Jin Hyung flew in this morning and crashed into his bed, so I have been kinda lonely."

"I should've come with you."

"That's not what I'm saying. It's the normal nerves. I had my quota of free time last night with you. Being at social events has just backfired one too many times."

"Next time, I'm coming with."

"Jungkook, don't force yourself. These can be unsettling."

"Let me do what I want to help you."

"Then let me spoil you."

"...fine. But I'm putting a limit on it."

He gulped the last of his drink, a rather dangerous move having downed his third glass but the alcohol levels weren't usually very high in the shimmery colored liquids.

"Your limit's going to be ridiculously low. I'll take you shopping sometime. Gangnam's shopping district has plenty of fancy stores."

He heard some strangled sound on the other end and grinned knowingly. The younger was so adorable when he got all flustered, stumbling over words and all red in the face.

He could see it. Just picture it before him.

"Time's up." Jungkook mumbled, annoyance clear. "Go tease some other billionaires."

"Hmm, I'll go, but no one else is getting my attention. You're quite special, Jeon Jungkook."

"I hate you."

"Oh, really now?"

"Yes. Very much. Bye."

He laughed a little too loud, a nearby conversation halting to acknowledge his presence. Taehyung smiled and raised a hand, gesturing for them to ignore him.

"I'm excited for tomorrow night."

"The release?" Jungkook perked up. "I'm so damn curious, I'm going insane. You're too good at keeping secrets. I literally have no idea what it is. Maybe you're coming out with a fashion line or surprising the world with a new brand deal. It's so exciting."

He almost spilled it then and there. The secret was so much more personal that a brand deal or fashion line. It was his whole heart in the form of lyrics and harmonies.

The poor photographer didn't even know his quarter of the work was for him.

The project itself was so different to anything they had attempted, balancing it with their already hectic schedules. He was really gambling a lot with the soon-to-come reactions.

"You'll love it. At least, I hope you do."

"Oh, I will. I love anything you do. You fulfill your work with a lot of attention and care, it's admirable."

"My, my, what's with all the praise? Did this yesterday, too."

"Nothing." The younger squeaked.

Taehyung let out a small breath, smile impossibly wide. "I'll get back to the party, angel. I can't be gone for too long without being suspicious."

"Do they really monitor your location like that? Figure out how practically absent you've been?"

"It can come across wrong. I'm a well known face and if they don't see me, it's fairly inconsiderate."

"Sheesh, okay, go and don't get in trouble. Talk to you tomorrow 'cause I'm going to pass out soon."

"See you tomorrow, Jungkook. Sweet dreams." He pulled the phone away from his ear to catch a peek of the profile picture before it disappeared with the end of the call.

One more day. He just hoped the reaction would be as sweet as the song titled.
