"Asshole." Jimin snapped his hand at Jungkook's arm while the mood enlightens further as the trio engaged in casual chats leading up to the time for dinner.

"So, we are scheduled to have dinner with Mr Kim tonight. I managed to get the appointment after much struggle to make the tycoon agree to meet us before the scheduled meeting."

Hoseok emptied his glass as he placed it neatly on the coaster at the table. Jungkook's mind was spinning from the tiredness and for once, he couldn't stop himself from falling asleep as he usually will burn the midnight oil for work purposes and sleeps quite late at night.

"Can I pass this dinner?"

"Jungkook, we are meeting the Kim, are you seriously going to pass? This is a good rapport building opportunity and you have to be there." Jimin tried his best to convince his friend.

"I know Jimin but I'm super exhausted that I might pass out. I don't want to be looking like a zombie and pay no attention to the dinner when my brain is out of my head." Jungkook was pressing his temple in tiredness.

Hoseok inspected the younger. He can see clearly how exhausted Jungkook looked. The raven head must have spent all night the day before their travel to tie the loose ends in Sydney office before flying down to NYC.

"Alright, I will ask my driver to drop you back. Jimin and I will attend the dinner on behalf. The meeting is not until a day after tomorrow so please rest well Jungkook. You don't even have to report to the office tomorrow, just rest yea?"

The copper head smiled warmly at the raven head while Jungkook dramatically bowed in appreciation.

"Fine, it's your loss then. I get to brag that I met Mr Kim for dinner and you can't."

For some weird reason, Jimin is feeling energized and ready to go. It has been almost two hours that Hoseok spent with the blond and he can see how amazing of a rapport builder Jimin can be with the people in his business.

"Oh Jimin, just to let you know, we will also be having Mr Kim's legal officer and his business analyst as well at the dinner. They are both his close friends, so don't worry if it gets a little crowded."

Jimin is not the one to complain. He finds himself extremely lucky to be able to join and learn from such high profile people. "Ok, I got it." He replied enthusiastically making Hoseok chuckle while Jungkook shakes his head in amusement knowing Jimin's behaviour by heart.

"I will be heading back to the apartment now. Good luck guys."

The raven head was quick to disperse and within 10 minutes, he was unlocking the door to his temporary home releasing a relieved sigh as he doesn't have to worry about entertaining some snobbish rich brats whom he dislikes the most.

.

"Boss, I just want to say how thankful am I for this opportunity. I still can't believe you requested Jungkook to rope me into this huge ass project. Thanks, Hoseok."

Jimin was grateful to the older as he couldn't stop himself from showing his gratitude at their boss while Hoseok pulled his Mercedes across the lot at the restaurant they were due to meet the Kim and people of Vante.

"Jimin, I can see how fond is Jungkook of you and I'm sure he won't be picking people with no talents to be a part of his team. I trust him and it's safe to say I have seen your capabilities. I know you're a very talented architect yourself, I needed you to be in this Vante project."

Hoseok assured the blond that everything was made happen for a reason and Jimin shouldn't be worried about anything else other than doing his very best.
