The pen in Jungkook's hand glided smoothly over the final line, sealing the deal. As the ink dried, a loud cheer erupted, followed by the pop of party streamers bursting into the air. Confetti rained down as Jungkook leaned back in his chair, chuckling at the sheer enthusiasm filling the room.

Around him stood Hoseok, Jimin, Yoongi, Seokjin, Namjoon, and even Mina, his former assistant turned close friend. The room buzzed with congratulatory energy as Hoseok extended his hand, his expression radiating pride.

"Welcome to Bright Entertainment, Jungkook," Hoseok said warmly as they shook hands. "I'm excited to see how this journey unfolds for us."

Jungkook smiled, the reality of what he'd just accomplished sinking in. Over Hoseok's shoulder, his eyes drifted to the glass door where Taehyung stood at attention just outside. Though stoic as ever, Taehyung's shadow seemed larger than life, a quiet but constant presence even in this moment of celebration.

Namjoon stepped forward, patting Jungkook on the back with a wide grin. "If you need any help with legal matters, you know where to find me. Anytime, okay?"

Jungkook turned to hug Namjoon briefly. "Of course, hyung. I wouldn't have been able to finish everything with my former company so quickly without you, and finalizing everything for Bright? You made it so much easier."

Namjoon smiled, waving it off. "You did the heavy lifting. I just nudged things along."

"Yeah, yeah," Seokjin chimed in, raising an imaginary glass. "But let's not downplay how far you've come, Jungkook. Congratulations, kid. Here's to the next big thing!"

As everyone congratulated him, Jimin bounced on his toes, barely containing his excitement. "Okay, we've done the formalities! Now, it's party time!"

Hoseok chuckled at Jimin's energy but shook his head with mock disapproval. "You're lucky we're not the kind of company that starts work on day one."

Jungkook, however,smiled, crossing his arms. "Maybe you're not, but I am." His eyes twinkled with determination. "I can't slack on the first day I establish my company. We'll party later tonight."

Jimin groaned dramatically. "Fine," he drawled, before glancing toward the glass door. His gaze landed on Taehyung's ever-watchful silhouette, and his lips quirked mischievously. "Though... would your  Captain Kim even let you have a party?"

Jungkook scoffed, rolling his eyes. "It's just a party. For once, I'm looking for celebration and enjoyment, not trouble. He'd better let me."

Jimin raised a brow skeptically, leaning toward Yoongi. "Trouble finds him even when he's not looking for it, doesn't it?"

The only time these two reunite when it comes to pulling leg of Jungkook.

Yoongi grinned. "Like a moth to a flame."

"Or a captain to a scolding," Seokjin added with a laugh, earning a round of chuckles.

Jungkook shook his head but couldn't hide his grin. He glanced once more at Taehyung through the door, silently daring him to interfere with his plans. "This time," he muttered under his breath, "he better not ruin my vibe."

As the cheers and congratulatory atmosphere began to settle, Jungkook's phone buzzed on the table. He glanced at the screen, and an immediate spark of excitement lit up his eyes. Smiling mischievously, he leaned back in his chair. "Actually, we might need to postpone that party," he announced, tapping the message lightly. "I have my own way of celebrating planned."
