The sun cast a warm glow through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Jeon Jungkook's office at Innovatech, painting the room in hues of gold and amber. Jungkook sat behind his expansive desk, surrounded by the hum of technology and the faint scent of freshly brewed coffee. He was engrossed in reviewing financial projections when a soft knock at the door drew his attention.

"Come in," Jungkook called out, setting aside his tablet as Park Jimin entered with his trademark grin.

"Boss, you're burning the midnight oil again," Jimin remarked with a teasing edge, crossing the room to lean casually against the desk.

Jungkook chuckled, gesturing for Jimin to take a seat. "It's the price of leadership," he replied, his voice laced with amusement.
"Did bigboss gave red signal for the deal?"
"Nope , it's a mixed signal "

"Then , What's on your mind?"
Jimin settled into the chair opposite Jungkook, his expression shifting to a more serious demeanor. "I've been looking into NexusTech," he began, getting straight to the point. "There's talk about your potential alliance is already on air you know ? ."

Jungkook arched an eyebrow, intrigued. "With us?"

Jimin nodded, his gaze steady. "Yes, specifically with you," he confirmed. "Taehyung seems keen on the idea."

Jungkook leaned back in his chair, considering Jimin's words carefully. "Why now?" he mused aloud. "What's Taehyung's angle?"

Jimin shrugged slightly. "Hard to say," he admitted. "But it could be a strategic move on his part. NexusTech has been making waves in the market lately."

Jungkook tapped his fingers thoughtfully on the desk. "True," he acknowledged. "But can we trust him?"

Jimin's expression turned skeptical. "Trust in business is a luxury," he remarked. "Especially with rivals."

Jungkook nodded in agreement. "Exactly," he agreed. "But alliances can also bring unforeseen advantages."

Jimin studied Jungkook for a moment, sensing the wheels turning in his mind. "You're considering it, aren't you?" he asked, his tone cautious.

Jungkook met Jimin's gaze directly. "I'm considering our options," he clarified. "But trust will be earned, not given."

Their conversation was interrupted by a notification on Jungkook's phone—a message from Taehyung. "Speak of the devil," Jungkook muttered, reading aloud: "Let’s talk soon. We have much to discuss." "

Jimin leaned over to read the message, a hint of skepticism in his voice. "Bold move," he remarked. "But are you ready to entertain the idea?"

Jungkook set his phone down, a determined glint in his eyes. "I'll meet with him," he decided. "But on neutral ground."

Jimin nodded approvingly. "Smart move," he agreed. "Keep your cards close, kook."

As Jimin stood to leave, Jungkook's thoughts turned briefly to his father, the founder of Innovatech. He knew his decision would have implications beyond the boardroom—implications that could strain already delicate family dynamics.

Later that evening, as Jungkook left his office and navigated through Seoul's bustling streets, the city lights shimmered like a backdrop to his contemplations. The prospect of an alliance with NexusTech loomed large, promising potential rewards tempered by the shadow of uncertainty.
