"HE REALLY CAN'T LET ME LIVE IN PEACE, CAN HE?!"
Kim Taesoo, an Alpha in his mid-fifties with graying hair and an aura of authority coming from being a Trueblood, bellowed in frustration.
Taesoo took a deep breath, attempting to steady himself, though his tone remained biting as he asked,
The secretary hesitated before answering, "His last location was traced to... Mr. Min's residence."
Taesoo's brow furrowed as he leaned back, his frustration shifting into confusion. "Min? You mean Min Yoongi? That omega producer?"
Taesoo pinched the bridge of his nose, exhaling sharply. His words were laced with contempt. "And what about the bodyguards? Can't they do the one thing they're paid for? "
One of the advisors, a bespectacled alpha with a cautious demeanor, stepped forward. "Sir, with all due respect, Mr. Kim has a... knack for evading them.-
Taesoo's glare sharpened, and the advisor quickly lowered his gaze.
His eyes flicked down to the discarded newspaper on the floor.
Taesoo sneered and looked away, disgusted. "This won't do."
Taesoo leaned forward, his tone colder, more calculated. "I need to get him under control before this spirals any further. Find him. Now. I don't care how you do it—
His voice dropped into a deadly calm. "He and I are going to have a very serious conversation about his priorities. I will not have my son jeopardizing this election."
The secretary finally spoke, her voice trembling slightly. "Understood, sir. We'll locate him immediately."
"Good," Taesoo snapped, gesturing for them to leave.
When the door clicked shut, he leaned back in his chair, staring out the window at the sprawling city skyline. His jaw clenched, his mind racing. If his son wanted to make this difficult, then so be it. But he'll show him who has last say..
Peace reigned for approximately five more seconds before a splash of ice-cold water hit him square in the face.
"WHAT THE—" the omega jolted upright, cursing loudly as droplets cascaded down his chest.
Yoongi stood at the foot of the bed, bucket in hand, looking entirely unimpressed.
Before Taehyung could respond, the sound of the doorbell echoed through the house. Yoongi froze, glaring at Taehyung.
Yoongi's eye twitched. "They? You mean your father's associates?"
Taehyung nodded, swinging his legs over the edge of the bed with a casual shrug.
Yoongi rubbed his temples, muttering under his breath. "Why do I let you in my house? Why do I even like you?"
The doorbell rang again, this time accompanied by a series of impatient knocks. Yoongi pointed a finger at Taehyung.
"Relax, hyung." Taehyung grinned, patting Yoongi's shoulder as he sauntered out of the room. "I've got this under control. Well... mostly."
Taehyung yawned loudly as he shuffled down the staircase, rubbing the back of his neck and glaring half-heartedly at the light streaming in through the windows.
On the other side stood a trio of his father's advisors, their crisp suits and rigid postures screaming professionalism.
"Ah, hello there," he drawled, his tone dripping with feigned politeness. "I'd say it's nice meeting you, but we all know that's a lie. So..."
The advisors exchanged uneasy glances. They couldn't understand how someone could be so insufferably careless while knowing the kind of influence his father wielded.
Stepping outside, he found the bodyguards he had so easily evaded the night before standing by the car, their faces as unreadable as ever. Taehyung tsked loudly, shaking his head with exaggerated disappointment.
Scrolling through, his lips curled into a humorless smirk. Most of the calls were from his assistant, a few from his agency, and not a single one from the person most enraged by his antics.
"Classic," Taehyung muttered, shaking his head. He clicked on one of the texts from his assistant:
He chuckled dryly. "Wow, such faith in me. Thanks, Mina," he muttered, typing a quick reply:
His phone buzzed almost immediately with her response:
"Existing at this point."
Your behavior is unacceptable. The media fallout is damaging the agency's reputation. If this continues, we will be forced to reconsider your upcoming projects. Clean up your act immediately."
Taehyung noticed, smirking to himself. "Relax, ahjussi. It's not like I'm planning to hijack the car and make a run for it." He stretched lazily.
But his smirk faded as his gaze fell back to his phone. Not even the dream projects or his prestigious agency felt satisfying anymore. There was a gnawing emptiness he couldn't shake.
The car rolled to a stop outside his father's massive estate, and Taehyung sighed, straightening up and plastering on a cocky grin. "Well, time to face the head master."
The advisor didn't respond, too caught off guard by Taehyung's audacious attitude.
Taehyung chuckled. "Silent treatment it is. Classic Kim Taesoo."

The air in Kim Taesoo's office was heavy with formality as he sat at the head of a long table, flanked by ministers and advisors discussing key strategies for the upcoming presidential campaign.
In strolled Taehyung. His signature smirk plastered on his face, he greeted the room with a mocking, "Good morning, Pops."
Taehyung's eyes swept over the room, and his smirk widened.
"Continue," Taesoo said, his voice firm.
The ministers resumed their discussion, occasionally flicking wary glances at Taehyung.
After what felt like an eternity, the meeting concluded. Taesoo dismissed the ministers with a curt nod,
The door clicked shut, and the tension in the room became suffocating.
"You know," Taesoo started, his voice dripping with irritation,
At that, Taehyung's smirk vanished. He slowly lowered his phone and glared at his father, the air around him bristling with defiance.
"You should know better than me," he said coldly.
Taehyung stood, his movements deliberate as he closed the distance between them. "It means," he said, his voice low but sharp,
Taesoo's lips pressed into a thin line.
Taehyung scoffed, shoving his hands into his pockets.
Taesoo's eyes narrowed. "You're being reckless. You are a Royalblood, keep that in mind,"
The room fell silent, the tension thick enough to cut with a knife. Finally, Taesoo exhaled, sinking back into his chair.
Taesoo shot him a warning look, but Taehyung was already heading toward the door. As he opened it, he paused and glanced back.
"Makes me wonder if our country would really be safe in your hands??"
He snatches his phone from the table with a sharp breath, his jaw set tight as he dials. The line barely rings before someone picks up, their voice brisk.
His hand clenches around the phone as he stares out the window, his reflection mirroring a look of steely determination.
The gym hummed with quiet admiration as a shirtless man executed flawless pull-ups, his back rippling with defined muscles. The steady beats of "SexyBack" played through the speakers, but the real show was him.
As he pulled himself up for the last time, his phone buzzed from the bench nearby.
With a sigh, he answered, "Lieutenant Cha, didn't I make it clear we don't call on off days? Or did you forget I actually have one today?"
"Mingyuuu!" Eunwoo's voice was frantic, breathing ragged, catching the man's attention
