The next day, the day of the party, it was 5:30 PM. Hoseok told Jungkook he'd go ahead to finalize preparations, but he was actually going to pick up the Yoonmin couple from the airport.
"Hobi!!!" Hoseok, leaning against his car, heard someone's voice.
"Jimin! It's been a while!" Hoseok replied, hugging him.
"Don't touch my husband!" Yoongi's raspy voice made them chuckle.
"You're always the same, Yoongi-hyung!"
"Of course I am, you horse." Yoongi replied, smiling and hugging Hoseok.
"Congratulations, Hoseok. I heard it's twins." Jimin said, surprising Hoseok.
"How— Oh, right, Jin-hyung… "
"Yeah, he told us. You should have heard his squeal when he called," Jimin said, making them laugh.
"Anyway, get in. I'm sure Jungkook will be so happy to see you both," Hoseok said, helping them with their luggage.
"I miss Jungkookie! Did he get a good rest?" Jimin asked.
"Yeah, he can't do much. Jin-hyung's taking care of him." Hoseok said, and they chuckled.
"By the way, Hoseok."
"Hmm?"
"Who's the guy Jin-hyung mentioned? The one bothering Jungkook?" Yoongi asked, remembering Jin's words.
Hoseok was grateful for the red light; otherwise, he might have slammed on the brakes.
"H-huh?" Yoongi's eyebrows furrowed at Hoseok's sudden nervousness.
"What man? Are you okay, Hobi?" Jimin asked, seeing Hoseok biting his lip.
Hoseok's POV
Shit! I completely forgot to tell them Taehyung's here!!! Because of everything that happened, I forgot! What do I do? Yoongi will definitely get mad, especially if he sees Taehyung!
"Hoseok!" Jimin's voice snapped me out of my panic.
"What's wrong? Why are you trembling?" Jimin asked, worried.
"Y-yeah, I'm alright, don't worry." I replied, driving after the light turned green. We were almost home, but Jimin wanted to go to the mall. He said he'd be quick, so Yoongi-hyung stayed with me in the car.
I was still incredibly nervous under Yoongi's intense gaze.
"Hoseok," he said. I looked at him, meeting his stare.
"Y-yeah?" Damn it, why did I stutter?
"Are you hiding something?"
"N-no! I just…" I didn't know what to say; he'd definitely be angry if I didn't explain.
"Spill it. You know you're not good at lying." he said, crossing his arms.
"U-um… well, I know you'll be angry, but the guy bothering Jungkook is—" My phone rang; I looked at Yoongi-hyung, and he nodded for me to answer.
It was my secretary; he said I was needed at the office for final decisions on the party's design and other details. I said I'd be there in fifteen minutes.
"Sorry, hyung, my secretary called. They need my final decision on the design and party details. I guess I'll just drop you guys off at the house?"
"Yeah, that's fine. I'm sure Jungkook needs help with the kids." he said. Jimin returned, and we drove to the house.
Jungkook's POV
Jin-hyung and I were preparing things for the party—diapers, toys, extra clothes.
I was in the kids' room when Jin-hyung called me.
"Jungkook! Come down, someone's here!" I put the clothes down and went downstairs.
"Who is it, Jin-hyung? I'm currently—" I stopped when I saw my brother and best friend on the couch.
"Hyung!" I said, hugging Yoongi.
"I miss you, hyung!"
"I miss you too, my baby brother." he said, kissing my head.
"What about me?" Jimin asked, making me chuckle.
"Come here, Jiminie." I said, opening my arms.
"Uncles!!!" My kids yelled, running towards them.
"How's our princess, huh?" Yoongi asked Taeyang, holding her.
"I'm really good, Uncle! I'm so happy to finally have baby brothers!" she said, and Yoongi bopped her nose.
"Uncle, they're so cute! Jiwon looks like Mommy, and Junseok looks like Daddy." Taegguk told Jimin, sitting on his lap.
"I see, we have gifts for you guys, wanna see? They're with Uncle Jinnie." Jimin said, making Taeyang and Taegguk run to Jin-hyung, who was holding their luggage and gifts.
We chuckled at their cuteness.
"Oh, by the way, hyung. Where's Seokie?" I asked.
"His secretary called, he's needed for final party arrangements." I nodded and got them water.
"Jungkook, I want to ask something." Yoongi said, making me look at him.
"What is it?"
"Who's the guy bothering you before you gave birth?" My body tensed.
I didn't want to tell them about Taehyung because I knew Yoongi would be furious.
"I-it's no one. Just some random guy." I said, avoiding eye contact.
"You know you're also not good at lying, right? Tell me." Yoongi said, his intense gaze on me.
"I… I uh…"
"Jungkook, you should bathe now. I prepared it already, it's almost 6:30. We'll take care of the kids," Jin-hyung said.
I nodded and went to bathe.
I hope Yoongi-hyung stays calm later. I know Irene and Taehyung will be there.
After bathing, I got dressed and checked on Jiwon and Junseok, who were still asleep. I told Jin-hyung I was ready. Jimin and Yoongi-hyung carried Jiwon and Junseok; Taeyang and Taegguk were with me.
We drove to the company; it was almost 7:30 when we arrived. Employees greeted us, and we went to a lounge.
After feeding Junseok and Jiwon (who woke up), Hoseok entered, and I hugged him.
"I'm sorry I'm late, baby. We just finished preparing everything." he said, and I caressed his face.
"You're tired, be sure to rest after the party, okay?" I said, kissing his cheek.
"Oh, it's almost time to start, so we should go; the tables are set." he said, and Yoongi-hyung, Jimin, Jin-hyung, Taeyang, and Taegguk went out. Jimin gave Junseok to Hoseok.
After feeding Jiwon, I fixed my clothes and we left. People greeted us and congratulated us on our babies.
We reached our table, and Jimin helped me sit. Taeyang and Taegguk sat beside me and Jin-hyung. Yoongi-hyung carried Junseok; Hoseok went to the stage.
"Hello, hello… Welcome everyone, to the 5th-anniversary celebration of our partnership with August D Corp.!" Everyone clapped.
"I want to thank everyone for attending and the employees who worked hard to maintain the company and the staff who helped our dancers and models improve." Everyone clapped and thanked him.
"As everyone saw earlier, my beautiful husband finally gave birth to our twins, Jiwon and Junseok. The newest members of our family." Hoseok said, and the lights shone on me and my children. I smiled and waved using Jiwon's hand.
"Now, let's welcome the CEO of August D Corp., Mr. Min Yoongi!" Yoongi-hyung went to the stage, giving Junseok to Hoseok.
Hoseok joined us.
"Baby, tell me if you want to rest, we'll go back to the lounge." he said, and I nodded, kissing him. He intertwined our hands.
"Good evening to everyone. It's been a while, but nothing seems to have changed. You're still energetic and hardworking. I want to thank everyone for helping our dancers, models, and clients. I hope we'll continue to help each other; thank you," Yoongi said, and everyone clapped. Hoseok's secretary announced that we could mingle before dinner.

"Kookie!!!" Irene called, walking towards them.
"Irene! I'm glad you're here." Jungkook said, hugging her.
"Irene, this is Jimin, my best friend since elementary, and my brother, Yoongi-hyung."
"So you're Mr. Min's wonderful husband, it's a pleasure to meet you." Irene said, shaking hands.
"Nice to meet you too, Miss Irene." Jimin said. Yoongi did the same.
"Hyung, Irene and I met at the cafe, she was surrounded by big men, so we saved her." Jungkook said.
"Ah, I see. A beautiful woman like you would be targeted, especially if you're single." Yoongi said, making her blush.
"Um, I actually have a fiancé." Irene said shyly.
"Oh, really? May I ask who?" Jimin asked.
"It's Mr. Kim, the CEO of Vantae Company," Irene replied.
"Ah, so you're his fiancée. I want to meet him to welcome him as our new partner." Jimin said excitedly.
"Oh, someone's talking to him now, but he'll be here." Irene said. Just then, someone called her.
"Finally, you're here, Taehyung." Irene said, making Jimin furrow his brows and Yoongi's blood boil.
"Taehyung?" Jimin asked.
"U-uhm, J-Jimin… actually—" Jungkook was cut off as Irene arrived with a shocked and nervous Taehyung.
"Mr. Min, this is my fiancé, Kim Taehyung, CEO of Vantae." Irene formally introduced Taehyung.
Hoseok joined Jungkook; they gave their children to Jin.
Silence fell, and Jungkook noticed Yoongi's darkened expression.
"WHAT… WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" Yoongi asked in a deep voice that sent shivers down Taehyung's spine.
"WHY THE HELL ARE YOU HERE?" Yoongi's voice grew louder as he approached Taehyung.
"Hyung, please… Calm down," Jungkook said, trying to calm Yoongi. Jimin, also angry, tried to calm Yoongi by holding his hand.
"ARE YOU THE ONE BOTHERING JUNGKOOK FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS?! WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT NOT COMING BACK OR LOOKING FOR THEM?!" Yoongi grabbed Taehyung's collar, his voice loud enough for those nearby to hear.
"Hyung, please. Not here, we'll talk later, okay? Please, hyung. I know you're enraged, but please, not here. We can talk privately later." Jungkook said, hugging Yoongi and looking into his eyes.
Yoongi saw Jungkook's tears and softened, his grip on Taehyung loosened.
"Don't. You. Dare. Leave. Be thankful I didn't kill you." Yoongi said, putting his arm around Jungkook and walking back to their table.
"Taehyung, are you alright?" Hoseok asked, seeing Taehyung frozen in fear.
"… Y-yeah, for now, I g-guess…" Taehyung said, slowly relaxing.
Taehyung walked back to their table. "H-Hoseok, I think it's my fault." Irene said, trembling.
"It wasn't your fault. They would have eventually seen each other anyway. Besides, Jungkook would tell Yoongi. He can't hide anything from him. It's time to talk about everything; otherwise, Yoongi's anger won't disappear. I want Taehyung to meet his kids; he's still their father. See you later, Irene. Prepare yourself." Hoseok said, waving goodbye.
He returned to their table, seeing Yoongi protectively holding Jungkook, his eyes filled with hate and wrath.
'Let's hope everything goes well in their talk.'
