chapter 4
I hadn’t even gotten through my first official hour when I realized just how out of place I was.
Taehyung had assigned me to his executive floor, supposedly to "observe." What that really meant was watching powerful people make even more powerful decisions while I tried not to disappear into the carpet.
And then there were the others.
Said a sharp voice behind me.
I turned to find a man leaning against the hallway window, arms crossed over a crisp designer suit. His hair was silver-blond, styled effortlessly, and his expression screamed trouble.
？？？
Jeon Jungkook, right? The intern Taehyung-hyung handpicked out of nowhere?
He said, giving a sarcastic smile.
Byun Baekhyun
I’m Byun Baekhyun. Senior strategist. Been working here for five years. Know how many interns get called up here their first day? None.
There was a hum of something beneath his words. Jealousy? Suspicion? Pure disdain? I couldn’t tell.
Before I could answer, someone else appeared—another man, taller, broader, with soft brown hair and a kind smile that felt like a breath of fresh air.
choi Minho
He barks at everyone. I’m Choi Minho. Security lead. You’ll see me around.
jeon Jungkook
Nice to meet you,
And so it continued. One by one, more people began to fill in the space around me—some friendly, like Taemin from marketing who offered to buy me coffee, or Seulgi from HR who gave me a wink and said,
sulgi
Watch your back, sweetheart. They eat newbies here.
Kim Namjoon was the head of legal, and he didn’t even try to hide the way he looked me up and down like I was a problem that needed solving.
Kim Namjoon
Taehyung doesn’t usually make impulsive decisions,
He said in a meeting, eyes flicking to me.
Kim Namjoon
This must be an exception.
Every time someone mentioned Taehyung, it felt like a wave passed through the room. Like he wasn’t just the CEO. He was the sun, and everyone else was orbiting in desperate circles.
And me? I had somehow been pulled into the gravity.
At lunch, I finally got a moment to breathe. I texted Jimin, one of the few people I trusted with my sanity.
I smiled at my phone, the first genuine smile I’d had all day.
I nearly jumped. Taehyung stood beside me, hands in his pockets, eyes calm but unreadable.
jeon Jungkook
Y-Yeah. Just texting Jimin. My best friend.
kim Taehyung
You should stay close to him. And away from people like Baekhyun.
He said it casually. But something about the way his voice dropped made me wonder if it was a warning.
