Let's Begin!
[𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐉𝐞𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 – 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠]
Taehyung took a deep breath as he stood before the towering glass building of Jeon Corporations. The sunlight reflected off its pristine surface, making it look even more intimidating.
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
"What am I doing here?" (he thought, but his resolve remained firm).
Jungkook had warned him to stay away but he's here doing the exact opposite.
After last night’s encounter, he had done some research. Jeon Jungkook was not just some wealthy Alpha—he was the CEO of one of the biggest corporations in the country. And Taehyung? He was about to step right into his world.
With squared shoulders, he entered the lobby. The interior was sleek and modern, with employees dressed in professional attire moving efficiently around him.
As soon as he walked in, whispers started.
Can be anyone
Employee 1: (whispering) "Who's that? A new hire?"
Can be anyone
Employee 2: "Did you see his face? He looks like he belongs in a magazine."
Can be anyone
Employee 3: (lowering their voice) "I heard he came here directly for an interview with the higher-ups. How did he get in so easily?"
Can be anyone
Employee 4: "Maybe he has connections? He doesn’t look like an ordinary applicant."
Taehyung pretended not to hear them, keeping his expression neutral as he approached the reception desk.
Can be anyone
Receptionist: (politely) "Good morning. How may I help you?"
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
"I’m here for my first day. Kim Taehyung, newly appointed assistant in the marketing department."
The receptionist quickly checked the records before nodding.
Can be anyone
Receptionist: "Yes, Mr. Kim. Welcome to Jeon Corporations. Your department manager will be here shortly to escort you."
Taehyung thanked her and stepped aside, but the murmurs around him didn’t die down.
[𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐂𝐄𝐎'𝐬 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞 – 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞]
Jeon Jungkook stood by the floor-to-ceiling window of his office, arms crossed as he stared down at the city below. His sharp eyes darkened slightly as he recalled the file he had seen earlier that morning
Jeon Jungkook (Enigma)
"Kim Taehyung. Hired in the marketing department."
He exhaled slowly, running a hand through his dark hair.
Jeon Jungkook (Enigma)
"Of all places, why here?"
A soft knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.
Jeon Jungkook (Enigma)
"Come in."
The door opened, and Lee Minji, his secretary, stepped inside with her usual poised demeanor.
Lee Minji (Omega)/ Jungkook's Secretary
(smiling) "Good morning, Mr. Jeon. Your schedule for today is ready, and I also wanted to inform you that the new employee… Kim Taehyung… has arrived."
Jeon Jungkook (Enigma)
(calmly) "I’m aware."
Minji hesitated for a brief moment before stepping closer.
Lee Minji (Omega)/ Jungkook's Secretary
"It’s… surprising. He’s not exactly the type of person who usually applies here."
Her tone held curiosity—and something else. Jungkook knew Minji had always admired him, though she never overstepped boundaries. But right now, his attention was elsewhere.
Jeon Jungkook (Enigma)
"Keep an eye on him."
Lee Minji (Omega)/ Jungkook's Secretary
"You’re… concerned about him?"
Jungkook didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he turned his gaze back to the window, expression unreadable.
Jeon Jungkook (Enigma)
"Just do it."
Minji’s lips pressed together before she nodded.
Lee Minji (Omega)/ Jungkook's Secretary
(softly) "Understood."
As soon as she left, Jungkook sat down at his desk, fingers drumming against the polished surface.
Jeon Jungkook (Enigma)
"Kim Taehyung… what exactly are you up to?"
[𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 – 𝐀𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐨𝐨𝐧]
Taehyung had been assigned a desk near the large windows, and as much as he wanted to focus on his work, he couldn’t ignore the glances and hushed whispers from his coworkers.
Can be anyone
Coworker 1: (whispering) "He's really working here? He looks too bold to be in marketing."
Can be anyone
Coworker 2: "Did you see how the CEO reacted when he saw him earlier? It was brief, but his expression changed."
Can be anyone
Coworker 3: (smirking) "Maybe he’s someone special to Mr. Jeon?"
Taehyung resisted the urge to roll his eyes at their gossip and remained composed. He had dealt with worse.
Just as he was settling in, a familiar voice made him look up.
Lee Minji (Omega)/ Jungkook's Secretary
(smiling) "Mr. Kim, welcome to Jeon Corporations."
She was dressed elegantly, her confidence fitting for someone who worked closely with Jungkook.
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
(smiling politely) "Thank you, Miss Lee."
Minji tilted her head, eyes observing him closely.
Lee Minji (Omega)/ Jungkook's Secretary
"You’re quite bold to work here. Most newcomers are too intimidated by Mr. Jeon’s presence."
Taehyung chuckled lightly.
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
"Should I be scared?"
Minji’s smile didn’t waver, but there was something calculating in her gaze.
Lee Minji (Omega)/ Jungkook's Secretary
"That depends. Mr. Jeon isn’t fond of unnecessary distractions."
Taehyung met her gaze head-on.
Kim Taehyung (Omega)
"Good thing I’m here to work, not to be a distraction."
Minji’s lips curled slightly, but she said nothing else before walking away.
As she disappeared down the hall, Taehyung exhaled.
It was only his first day, and he had already stepped into dangerous territory.
But he wasn’t leaving. Not yet.
Jungkook may have warned him to stay away.
But Taehyung had never been good at following warnings.
