Chapter 2: A Dance of Fate

...Woo-seok sat in his office, the calm before the storm of emotions that was about to hit him. His assistant, Mr. Han, entered the room quietly, holding a file in his hand. "Sir, I've gathered the information you requested," he said, placing the file on Woo-seok's desk. Woo-seok took a deep breath before opening it, and as he flipped through the pages, his heart skipped a beat. There, among the reports, was a photo of Song Yun, taken during the traffic accident. Her face, even in the midst of chaos, radiated an unexplainable calm and beauty that made his heart flutter....

...As he continued reading about her, Woo-seok felt his face grow warm, a rare blush spreading across his cheeks. Mr. Han, still standing by, couldn’t help but notice. It was unusual, almost unheard of, to see his stoic boss blushing. "Are you alright, sir?" Mr. Han asked, trying to hide his smirk....

...Woo-seok quickly cleared his throat, trying to regain his composure. "Yes, I'm fine," he replied, though the redness in his cheeks said otherwise....

...The next day, Woo-seok received an invitation to a performance by his younger sister, Ji-eun. She was a talented dancer, and he always made it a point to attend her shows. What he didn't expect was the surprise that awaited him. As the lights dimmed and the performance began, Woo-seok's heart started racing. On stage, dancing alongside Ji-eun, was Song Yun, dressed in a graceful hanbok. The sight of her took his breath away, his heart pounding a thousand times faster as he watched her every move....

...She was like magic, a vision of elegance and beauty that seemed almost unreal. Woo-seok couldn't tear his eyes away, utterly captivated by the way she moved, the way she embodied grace itself. When the performance ended, the entire audience erupted in applause, but none were as loud or enthusiastic as Woo-seok. "Yooo hooooo!" he cheered, his voice ringing out above the crowd....

...Both Ji-eun and Mr. Han, who had accompanied him, were stunned. They had never seen Woo-seok so cheerful, so animated. It was as if the normally composed CEO had transformed into a different person....

...After the performance, Woo-seok approached Ji-eun, praising her with a wide smile. "You were amazing, as always," he said, ruffling her hair affectionately. "But you can head home without me tonight. I've got something else to take care of."...

...Ji-eun raised an eyebrow, but before she could question him, she spotted Song Yun nearby. "Oh, I see," she teased with a knowing grin before heading off, leaving Woo-seok alone....

...Gathering his courage, Woo-seok made his way toward Song Yun. His heart was pounding so hard that he could feel it in his throat. As he approached, she turned to look at him, and in his nervousness, Woo-seok dropped the magazine he was holding, fumbling awkwardly as he tried to pick it up. His face turned beet red as he looked up at her, sheepish and shy....

..."Who are you?" Song Yun asked, her tone curious....

..."I... I... I'm... umm... I am..." Woo-seok stammered, struggling to find his words. "I am Woo-seok... Ji-eun's brother. I really liked your performance, and I came here to appreciate it," he said, his voice trailing off as he looked down at his feet, too shy to meet her gaze....

..."Okay, thanks. I'm glad you liked it," Song Yun replied with a smile....

...Woo-seok giggled nervously, his shyness making him even more endearing. "Heh... heh..." he chuckled, trying to find something else to say. "You were really... um... magical out there."...

..."Magical, huh?" Song Yun said with a playful grin. "Well, that's a first."...

...Woo-seok nodded eagerly, still blushing. "Yes! Like... like a fairy or something."...

...Song Yun chuckled at his awkwardness. "Well, thank you... um... Woo-seok."...

...After a few more moments of stammering and blushing, Woo-seok finally mustered the courage to offer her a ride home. "I could give you a ride home, you know," he said, still unable to meet her eyes....

...But Song Yun, with a mischievous glint in her eye, shook her head. "Thanks, but I'll pass. I don't want to be responsible for any more dropped magazines," she teased, flashing him a playful smile....

...Woo-seok's face turned an even deeper shade of red as he laughed nervously. "Right... right. Maybe another time then."...

...With that, Song Yun walked away, leaving poor Woo-seok standing there, heart pounding and mind racing. As he stepped out of the venue, he found Mr. Han waiting for him, a wide grin on his face. "You know, sir, it's not every day I get to see you like this," Mr. Han said, barely suppressing his laughter. "I have to say, it's quite amusing."...

...Woo-seok sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Yeah, yeah... laugh it up," he muttered, but even he couldn't help the small smile that tugged at his lips as he thought about Song Yun....
