The reddish black bruises over husband's body are not something one can ever like.
And definitely not Kim Seokjin. Especially if they can be seen all over his lovely husband.

Kim Namjoon stepped inside his house, black and blue over his face and the skin peeking out of his somewhat tattered clothes. The big bump over his forehead looked very nasty.

Na-uel who was quietly studying in the hall, looked up hearing the footsteps and suddenly let out a loud wail.
Jin ran out of his study hearing his son scream but the moment his eyes landed on his husband, his breath and steps stumbled.

"Get me the first-aid kit. Now!" Seokjin shouted as he rushed his husband, helping him settle down on the couch.
He hurriedly helped remove his coat, tie and undid the cuffs and collar.

Jin gasped seeing the bruises over his husband's body as angry tears welled up in his eyes.

Na-uel ran back to the scene with his nanny, carrying the med box and immediately handed it over to his father.
"Mina, please take Na-uel to his room."
The child whined but the angry glares of his father had him shut up and the nanny took him away.

"Jinie!" Namjoon groaned as his jaw hurt while speaking.

"Give me the name! Who did this do you? I am going to make that mother f****** cry tears of blood!" Jin spat as he continued to clean up the wounds.

"You're going to fight my students!" The man chuckled trying to joke but immediately hissed at the sting on his cut.
"Damn right I will! How dare they?"
Jin immediately snapped back.

"It's the children's brawl. Remember I told you about the interview by LV!" Namjoon slowly explained. His husband only hummed in acknowledgement.
"They only selected 3 of our students. And the rest of the resume was marked unfit.
The remarks were not be very encouraging. Guess one thing led to another and the students got into a fight. Even the teaching staff were shocked to see the bad results."

Seokjin only gave him a look to continue further.

"Many of the parents have shared their demurrer towards the University's capabilities for proper education."

Jin closed his eyes and took several deep breaths. The moment he opened his eyes, Namjoon knew by his husband's gaze that he was going to do something rash.
And he is right. Seokjin is going to make those people bleed money and drag them down on their knees for hurting his husband.

"And done!" Hoseok slammed his index finger on the enter button on is laptop with a shit-eating grin.
"And now, Kim Seokjin is going to run blind into everything just to ruin himself a bit more. He is going to make enemies with anyone and everyone for you to bury him alive.
And no one is going to bother remembering him.
Wheew!"
He blew away a sigh and slumped back in his chair.

"Yeah! That's quite the plan." Yn spoke uninterested but he knew the reality was far from that.
"Do you think he will actually show up with his husband? I mean......" Hoseok folded his lips in and let out a loud breath.

"He is too proud to not show up. Kim Seokjin takes pride in the status he's built over the years for himself. Kim has earned a respectable position in the fashion industry, thanks to him. But the elder Kim went MIA 5 years ago. Only if that f****** bastard was around....." Yoongi spat out with hatred dripping in his voice and gulped down the alcohol in his glass in one go.

"We'll find him." Hoseok opened his mouth but Yn cut off his words.
"He'll come looking for us."

"By the way, the secretary of the first lady called in when you were out. She said that madam will arrive half an hour late as she needs to stop by somewhere important." Hoseok opened the ipad and pushed it towards the woman.
"Arato-dono also confirmed his arrival. Will you receive him in person?"

"No. You two take care of that. Victor and I will be meeting the Navy general regarding the arrival of the consignment. I need to keep Victor in check, according to Sir Russell. Whatever that means!" Yn answered drily as she kept scrolling through the iPad.

Yoongi stared at her with a frown.
But the woman in front of her was staring at the pictures on the electronic device in her hand with dissatisfaction.
"Now what happened?" He asked.

"Jungguk asked that new Kim intern to be his date for the gala and that kid declined!" She said with the heavy seriousness and the two men snorted seeing her face.
"What's his deal? "
Yn raised her brows at his words.

"If I were some new employee of Venom, even I wouldn't dare to attend some Gala with my boss's brother." Yoongi reasoned.
Yn scoffed at his words.
"So he is being considerate for my sake. What a load of bull! Send that brat the invitation with a sweet warning."

"And she says she doesn't care about him!" Yoongi muttered to himself while scratching his ear and snorted in his mind.

"By the way......" Hoseok suddenly chirped happily with a big grin
"our outfits have arrived and are waiting for us in the studio! So let's move our butts out of this study."

"I'll pwaaaa......" Yn parted her mouth to make an excuse but she yawned out of nowhere.

"Uh-uh!" Hoseok shook his head in denial giving to other two in the room a petty smile.
"No excuses, bitches. Now get your asses out of here. Palli!~" He screeched making them rush out of there.

"Yada!" Seokjin glared at his  husband and Jaehwan, his nostrils flaring in annoyance.

"Jinie, I am not as smart as you regarding the business but I also think Sakamoto-san is our best bet at the moment!" Namjoon tried to make Jin understand the gravity of the situation.

The man in question covered his face with both helps palms and let out a pitiful whine.
"You don't understand." Seokjin mumbled.  "Sakamoto .........! He's the same one who's after my brother all those years ago."

"You mean the man involved in........"
"Yes!" Jin only hummed in agreement, not letting his husband finish off his sentence.
Namjoon looked at their legal counsellor with a lip tight smile and said "Jaehwan ssi, inform the board that my husband won't approve of this arrangement. Thank you for your time. You can leave now."

"Yes sir!" Lee bowed and immediately rushed out of the house after collecting all the documents.

"You should have told me sooner!"  Namjoon said as he wrapped his arms around his husband's waist and rested his chin on the others' shoulder.

"I didn't want to remember that day. It is still awfully painful to reminisce about those memories!" Jin explains with a distant torment in his eyes.

"It's okay! You saved him. That's what is actually important. You did a great job. I'm proud of you!" Namjoon smiled and pulled him into his chest, planting a peck right above his right ear.

Seokjin only leaned into his embrace with a guilty conscience,  deciding to keep quiet for some more time. As long as he can, at the least.

"Do you want to attend this LV auction ball with me?" Jin asked after a long painful silence. He was still sceptical about the invitation but the curious cat in him was nagging his conscience to find out the hidden face behind the LV's mysterious woman.
He was actually fascinated how that women had maintened to stay hidden from the eyes of public and successfully kept her identity a secret.
It irked him how much she was able to affect him even without seeing him in person. But to him, it doesn't matter. That woman wants a chase, Kim Seokjin will gladly give her the most horrifying chase of her life.
And he also had to settle a score with the CEO of LV.

"Jinie, is everything alright? You kinda blanked out right now!" Namjoon softly asked, tilting his head like an adorable puppy.

"Yeah, ofcourse! I want you do be my date for the event. I need to see the person who is the reason you got hurt." Seokjin mumbled, grinding his teeth.

"Juhee, is it?" The young lady nodded her head frantically, scared and lost not understanding why she was again in front of this woman.
The last time they were under the same roof, Ms Jeon made her shop for her wedding almost free of cost. Not only that but she also provided a check with quite a big amount as an apology.

So, no! Like hell she won't to be sweating profusely when all of sudden she was escorted out of her house and brought right in front of this Richie rich woman.

She turned her head, looking at her parents with somewhat scared eyes, but they didn't seem any better themselves.

"Did you perhaps lost your voice or hearing maybe?" Yn cut off her train of thoughts and Juhee yelped.

"Here, have some water!" Jungguk handed her a glass of water and gave his elder sister a pleading gaze. Yn only sighed and shrugged off her shoulders.

Jungguk led the girl towards her parents and sat down with them. He greeted them with a sweet smile.
"I apologize on my sister's behalf. I know she can be a bit over bearing, but she just lacks general convo. skills. "

Mr Han nodded his head in understanding with a soft smile on his lips.
"I understand son. She has a bit extreme way of conversing with people.
But we just want to know why we have been brought here?"

Jungguk laughed awkwardly, glancing once towards his sister's side and then back to the elder couple.
"Nuna wants Ms Han to attend one of our parties as a model for an auction showcasing.

You see ajusshi we are having a small event where we will be showcasing our designs for display. But not on the mannequins but real men and women.
You don't have to worry. None of them well have to show their face as it will be covered with masks or face paints. And we're hoping that Juhee-ssi can be one of the models.

Also, you don't have to do it for free or just because we asked. You can deny if you want. We just really think that she will be a good combination."
The younger smiled awkwardly scratching the back of his head, embarrassed.

"Oh, that's all!" Mr Han asked surprised and Jungguk breathed out in relief.

"Are you sure, ajusshi? She doesn't have to if she's uncomfortable!" The younger asked with wide bambi eyes.

"Son, your sister is doing a great favour giving my daughter such a big opportunity. I cannot thank her enough. Me and my wife will now head home. I believe my daughter will be fine here. Thank you! May god fulfill all of you and your sisters' wishes."
The old couple left, leaving their daughter behind as they knew she was in safe hands.

Before Jungguk could join Juhee and his sister, his phone rang. He beamed seeing the name flashing on the screen. But soon you remembered how his boyfriend denied to be his date. He huffed with a visible pout and cut the call.
His phone again beeped.
The younger opened the text and suddenly squealed in happiness.

"I'm  outside the building and waiting for your forgiveness, my prince!" The text said . The human bunny wasted no time and run out of there skipping all the way down to find his boyfriend.

"Guess that brat is here to visit our thumper!" Hoseok grinned at his boss with a cheeky smile.

Congratulations and your new album, our Hope

Keep rising and shining
