Chapter 5

Jimin arrived at the Crescent Moon Hotel in less than ten minutes. This luxurious hotel is known for hosting various meetings and events and is famous in Seoul and throughout Korea. Despite being located a few miles outside the city, the hotel is well-known for its breathtaking views and excellent service. The hotel is particularly popular with the Chaebols due to its luxurious amenities and top-notch service.

The Crescent Moon is a renowned hotel that caters to the affluent for their meetings and conferences. The hotel offers private rooms, conference rooms, and luxurious suites that provide the best view of Seoul.

Mr. Cassano is a prominent figure in the business industry. He is known for his quick-witted comebacks and meticulous approach to signing deals with various companies. Signing a contract with him could be the hardest thing, but Jimin was ready he had thoroughly gone through his and Yoongi's presentations making sure he didn't miss anything.

The younger individual was concerned about the CEO of Min Corporation as he feared that Mr. Cassano might decline to sign the contract with the company. This was because Yoongi had extended an invitation to the CEO in hopes of merging their respective projects. However, the younger person couldn't deny that the Youngest Min was a genius. After Jimin presented his project to the older individual and explained it thoroughly, the Min immediately came up with a plan that involved utilizing both projects together for solar implantations. He desperately hoped that Mr. Cassano could give him a chance once again to prove his side.

While waiting near reception for the elder, he couldn't help but imagine the worst-case scenario. He thought that the youngest Min had only called him here to embarrass him and that he would never be allowed to work on the project. He cursed his overthinking power as it ran at the speed of light, coming up with the worst-case scenario.

The moment he caught sight of the older man walking into the reception area, his thoughts were immediately interrupted. The man looked absolutely stunning, resembling a Greek god in the way he carried himself. He wore a black button-up shirt that emphasized his broad shoulders and lean waist, while the silver jewellery that adorned his ear and wrist added a touch of elegance to his overall appearance. The man's chiselled features and well-groomed hair made him look even more striking, causing heads to turn as he walked by.

"Hello, I hope I didn't keep you waiting for a long time? "Yoongi asked as he glanced over at the younger person standing next to him, he couldn't help but take in his appearance. The younger individual was dressed impeccably in a navy button-up shirt and trousers, just like Yoongi himself. However, what caught his attention was the black overcoat that the younger person wore over his shirt, which added a touch of sophistication to his outfit. As Yoongi's eyes moved up, he noticed the gold-rimmed glasses perched on the younger person's nose, which only enhanced his already striking features. It was as if the glasses were made for his face, emphasizing the individual's natural beauty. 

As Jimin looked into the other person's eyes, he could feel a sense of tranquillity wash over him. He shook his head, unable to form any coherent words, as they both stood lost in each other's gaze. It was as if time had frozen for them, and nothing else in the world mattered but the moment they shared. The silence between them was heavy, yet comforting, and they both felt a deep connection that words could not express. It was a moment of pure intimacy and understanding, where everything else in the world seemed to fade away.

Unfortunately for them, their moment came to a halt as a waitress came towards them " Mr Cassano waits for your arrival " she informed the two who nodded their head and followed her as she led them to their private set-up. 

As Yoongi approached Mr. Cassano, the latter stood up and extended his hand, greeting the younger man with a small smile and pulling him into a brief hug. However, the moment he caught sight of Jimin, who was standing behind Yoongi, Mr Cassano's expression changed. The smile vanished from his face, replaced by a frown as he studied Jimin with a cold, piercing stare. He pulled away from Yoongi and focused his attention on him, his face now completely devoid of any emotion. The CEOs could sense the tension in the air, and the silence that followed was deafening.

" What is he doing here?" Mr. Cassano asked his voice sending a chill running through the spins of everyone present in the room.  

As the tension thickened in the room, Yoongi attempted to ease it by urging the older person to take a seat, while the youngest remained frozen in place. Yoongi noticed the younger one's hesitation and reached out to hold his forearm, gently guiding him to sit beside him. The touch of their skin sent a surge of electricity through their bodies, causing a momentary pause in the conversation. Despite the awkwardness, Yoongi's gesture helped to create a sense of closeness and comfort between them.

As they settled down, Yoongi explained the entire scenario to the eldest, who simply listened with a void expression. Jimin then presented their project, outlining the various pros and cons in great detail. They spoke about the potential benefits of the project, as well as the solutions they had come up with to mitigate any potential losses. They hoped that their thorough presentation and well-thought-out ideas would be enough to convince the order to give their project the green light, even though the older was known to be very strict and rigid.

"I will give you a month, in that if you can make a working model of your project. I will sign this merger, but if you fail then the Cassano corporation will never sign any contract with your companies ever." Mr. Cassano nonchalantly says as he signals a waiter to come and take them. 

As the waiter arrives at the table, the two young CEOs finally let out a sigh of relief. They have been waiting for this meeting for a long time and are eager to impress their guest, Mr Cassano. After a glance at the menu, they both decide to order a white sauce pasta. Mr. Cassano, who has been observing their every move, chuckles at their choice.

The group falls into conversation, discussing a wide range of topics, from business to personal interests. The young CEOs are a bit nervous at first, but Mr. Cassano's friendly demeanour quickly puts them at ease. However, their chat is interrupted by the sound of Mr. Cassano's mobile phone ringing. He apologizes and excuses himself from the table, leaving the CEOs with some time to chat with each other. As they start to relax, they begin to forget about the world around them, lost in the flow of conversation. The restaurant fades away, and for a moment, it's just a two of them.

"Congratulations,"  Mr. Cassano says as he takes a sit, confusing both of them.  "For your upcoming marriage." He adds sending Yoongi into a coughing fit while Jimin panics and blushes.
