Jeon Corporation - The Arrival of the Boss

NIM JEON, the manager of Jeon Corporation, anxiously checked the time on his wristwatch. Everything was in place, yet a deep sense of nervousness lingered in the air. Today was not just any day—it marked the return of the boss after a long absence.

Beside him, Y/n stood composed and professional, a stark contrast to his tense demeanor.

Y/N: "Sir, I've ensured everything is perfect. His office is spotless, and all necessary documents are arranged as per his preference."

Nim let out a slow breath, rubbing his forehead.

NIM: "Good. You know how particular Sir Jeon is. Even the slightest mistake could turn into a disaster."

Y/N: "I understand, sir."

Before Nim could respond, the sharp sound of approaching footsteps echoed through the hallway. The atmosphere thickened instantly, tension seeping into every corner of the office. Employees instinctively straightened up, their expressions shifting to utmost professionalism. They all knew exactly who was coming.

The large glass doors of Jeon Corporation swung open, and in stepped Jeon Jungkook.

Dressed in an immaculate black suit, exuding authority and dominance, his presence alone sent shivers down spines. His sharp eyes scanned the surroundings like a predator surveying his territory, his mere aura suffocating.

Nim immediately stepped forward, bowing respectfully.

NIM: "Welcome back, sir."

Jungkook barely spared him a glance, his gaze shifting past the employees as if searching for something—or someone.

Y/n maintained composure as Jungkook’s piercing gaze finally landed on them. A fleeting moment of silence passed between them before he finally spoke.

JUNGKOOK: "Y/n, right?"

Y/n’s breath hitched for a fraction of a second before responding firmly.

Y/N: "Yes, sir."

Jungkook tilted his head slightly, his expression unreadable before a smirk ghosted over his lips.

JUNGKOOK: "Hmm. You've done well."

The unexpected compliment caught Y/n off guard. A faint warmth crept onto their cheeks.

Y/N: "T-Thank you, sir."

Beside Jungkook, J-Hope, his trusted right-hand man, cleared his throat, subtly breaking the moment.

J-HOPE: "Sir, shall we proceed to your office?"

Jungkook’s smirk faded as his serious expression returned.

JUNGKOOK: "Yes. There’s work to be done."

Just as he walked past Y/n, he paused slightly, lowering his voice so only they could hear.

JUNGKOOK: "Let’s see how long you can keep up."

Y/n’s heart pounded at the cryptic remark. What did he mean by that?

As Jungkook disappeared into his office, Nim let out a breath he didn’t realize he had been holding.

NIM: "You heard him. Make sure you don’t mess up."

Y/n clenched their fists slightly, determination setting in. Whatever Jungkook meant, one thing was clear—this was just the beginning.

Kim Taehyung - A Caged Bird

The college canteen was alive with the usual chatter of students, yet at one particular table, a different kind of conversation was unfolding.

Jimin placed a tray of food in front of Taehyung, but instead of digging in, Taehyung stared off into the distance, his expression unreadable.

JIMIN: "Here’s your food."

His voice held a hint of concern as he carefully observed his best friend.

TAEHYUNG: "Thank you, Jimin. But... what’s wrong? You seem off again."

Jimin hesitated before sighing.

JIMIN: "Kim found out about last night."

Taehyung’s expression remained calm, as if unfazed.

TAEHYUNG: "Hmm."

JIMIN: "Don’t act like it’s nothing, Tae. Your father is strict when it comes to these things."

Taehyung scoffed, leaning back lazily.

TAEHYUNG: "Relax, Jimin. Dad doesn’t know everything."

Jimin frowned.

JIMIN: "What do you mean?"

TAEHYUNG: "He didn’t find out that my car broke down last night."

A mischievous glint flickered in his eyes as he smirked.

JIMIN: "What if he finds out that someone left you stranded at the party?"

TAEHYUNG: "He won’t. He was too busy lecturing me about not going out without guards."

Jimin sighed in frustration.

JIMIN: "That’s why you’re upset, isn’t it?"

Taehyung stabbed his fork into his food with more force than necessary.

TAEHYUNG: "And today, I had to come to college with guards. Again."

JIMIN: "What’s so bad about that? They’re just protecting you."

TAEHYUNG: "I want freedom, Jimin. I'm not a child."

Jimin gave him a knowing look.

JIMIN: "How did you escape the guards last night?"

Taehyung chuckled, leaning in as if sharing a secret.

TAEHYUNG: "Sleeping spray. Knocked them all out before leaving."

Jimin’s jaw dropped in disbelief.

JIMIN: "Taehyung! That’s dangerous!"

TAEHYUNG: "That’s exactly why I didn’t tell you earlier."

Jimin shook his head, sighing dramatically.

JIMIN: "You’re not just mischievous, you’re a devil."

Taehyung smirked, a playful glint in his eyes.

TAEHYUNG: "I am."

Jeon Jungkook - A Secret Excitement

In the grand meeting room of Jeon Corporation, two powerful businessmen sat face to face—Jeon Jungkook and RM.

RM: "Mr. Jeon, what do you think of the proposal?"

Jungkook leaned back, tapping his fingers on the polished table.

JUNGKOOK: "Your project is impressive. We’re partners now."

They shook hands, sealing the deal. RM, noticing Jungkook’s distracted look, smirked knowingly.

RM: "You seem... preoccupied."

Jungkook's lips curled into a small, knowing smirk.

JUNGKOOK: "I have something important to look forward to tonight."

His eyes gleamed with anticipation.

JUNGKOOK (internally): "I’m coming, princess."
