Our Obsessions #1

...English is not my first language so ignore the mistakes 😅 ...

Taehyung leaned back in his leather office chair, his muscular frame stretching the seams. He glanced at his brother Jungkook, who was pacing the room like a caged tiger, his mafia king aura palpable. The air between them was thick with the weight of their shared past and the heavy burdens they carried.

"You think we have to worry about the Lees this time?" Taehyung asked, his brow furrowed. "Father's death anniversary is coming up. They might try something stupid."

Jungkook paused, his icy blue eyes flashing with cruelty. "I've already put out feelers. My men are watching them. If they even think about retaliating, I'll burn their entire fucking family tree to the ground."

Taehyung shuddered slightly at his brother's callous words, but he knew Jungkook's ruthless nature was necessary for their family's survival in the cutthroat world they inhabited.

A soft knock at the door interrupted their tense conversation. "Come in," Taehyung barked.

Their long-time PA, Ms. Park, entered cautiously, her eyes downcast. "Excuse me, sirs. I apologize for the interruption, but this year's internship applications have been finalized. Mr. Kim requests your approval before they begin orientation tomorrow."

Jungkook snorted derisively. "Interns? Now? We don't have time for this nonsense."

Taehyung held up a hand, silencing his brother. "Bring the files in, Ms. Park. We'll look them over."

The petite woman nodded and quickly exited, returning a moment later with a stack of manila folders. She placed them on Taehyung's desk and left, closing the door softly behind her.

Taehyung flipped through the files, pausing when he saw a photo of a young woman with a delicate, innocent face and sparkling eyes. "Min Yn," he read aloud. "Nineteen, studying at Seoul National University, majoring in social work. She's... different from the usual applicants."

Jungkook snatched the file from Taehyung's hand, his eyes zeroing in on the photo. A slow, predatory grin spread across his face. "She's a mute. Interesting. I like her already."

Taehyung frowned at his brother's wicked smile. "Don't even think about it, Jungkook. She's an innocent girl, not one of your usual... distractions."

Jungkook laughed, a cold, harsh sound. "Innocence is overrated, hyung. I bet a sweet little thing like her would be a lot of fun to... corrupt."

Taehyung stood abruptly, his chair clattering to the floor. "I mean it, Jungkook. Leave her alone. We have enough problems without you adding a broken girl to the list."

Jungkook's grin faded, his eyes hardening. "Fine. I'll play nice... for now. But mark my words, hyung. That girl won't stay innocent for long in our world."

As the brothers fell into a tense silence, the shadows lengthening in their high-rise office, the stage was set for a dark tale of power, corruption, and the destructive allure of forbidden love. The intern's arrival would change everything, and Min Yn's life would never be the same. Little did she know, the Jeon brothers had plans for her that would shatter her innocent world and bind her to their cruel, unforgiving empire for eternity.

-------------------------

The next day, a group of 15 college students arrived at the towering glass and steel monolith that housed the Jeon Corporation. They chattered excitedly, already forming cliques and hierarchies as they gathered in the opulent lobby. All except for one small, quiet figure standing slightly apart from the others.

Min Yn clutched her internship folder to her chest, her eyes wide and uncertain as she took in the imposing surroundings. Her long, dark hair fell in soft waves around her delicate face, and her uniform of a simple white blouse and navy skirt made her look even more petite and vulnerable amidst the sea of suits and ties.

The other interns cast furtive glances her way, their whispers and giggles carrying a mean edge. Yn was used to it by now, the isolation, the exclusion. Being a mute in a world that valued words above all else had left her lonely and adrift.

Taehyung and Jungkook entered the lobby, their tall, muscular frames commanding attention. The other interns fell silent, their eyes round with awe and a touch of fear. The brothers exuded an aura of power and danger, honed by years of ruthless business acumen and Jungkook's notorious reputation as the mafia king.

Taehyung's gaze fell on the small group, his curiosity drawn to the lone figure standing apart. He approached Yn slowly, noting the way she flinched slightly as he drew near. Up close, he could see the delicate beauty of her features, the intelligence shining in her dark eyes, and the sad, lonely air that clung to her like a shroud.

"Min Yn?" he asked softly, his deep voice gentle. She nodded, her grip on the folder tightening. "Welcome to Jeon Corporation. I'm Taehyung, the CEO. I look forward to seeing the excellent work I hear you'll be doing."

Yn bowed her head, a faint blush coloring her pale cheeks. She opened her folder and took out a small notebook and pen, scribbling a quick note. "Thank you, Mr. Jeon," she wrote, her handwriting neat and precise. "I'm grateful for this opportunity."

Taehyung smiled, charmed by her polite demeanor. He glanced over at Jungkook, who was watching their exchange with a thoughtful expression, his eyes never leaving Yn's face. Taehyung had a feeling his brother was already formulating his usual wicked plans to take advantage of the sweet, innocent girl.

As the other interns began to filter into the elevators, Yn lingered behind, not wanting to impose on the cliques that had already formed. Taehyung held out his arm to her in a gentlemanly gesture.

"Allow me to show you to your desk, Miss Min," he said warmly. Yn hesitated for a moment before placing her small hand on his muscular forearm, feeling the strength and power coiled beneath the expensive fabric of his suit.

As they walked together towards the elevators, Jungkook fell into step beside them, his eyes glinting with a predatory light as he looked down at Yn. "Welcome aboard, sweetheart," he purred, his voice a low, dangerous rumble. "I have a feeling this internship is going to be very... enlightening for all of us."

Yn shivered slightly at the dark promise in Jungkook's voice, a sense of foreboding settling in the pit of her stomach. She had a feeling that her time at Jeon Corporation was going to be a rollercoaster ride of emotion, and she could only pray that she had the strength to survive it unscathed.

As the elevator doors closed and the small group ascended to the executive floors, the stage was set for a dark and twisted tale of forbidden love, power, and the destructive consequences of desire. Little did Yn know, her life was about to become inextricably entwined with the Jeon brothers, and there would be no turning back from the path that lay ahead.

---------------------------

As Taehyung finished taking the interns through the introductions and their PA, Ms. Park, began assigning tasks, Yn couldn't help but feel the weight of the other students' jealous stares boring into her back. Their eyes flashed with envy and resentment as they watched the two most eligible bachelors in Seoul lavish attention on the mute girl who had always been shunned.

Jungkook and Taehyung stood tall and imposingly handsome, their muscular frames filling out their bespoke suits in a way that made the other interns look scrawny and insignificant in comparison. Yn's heart raced as she felt the intensity of Jungkook's gaze on her, his icy blue eyes glinting with a secret, wicked promise that made her toes curl in her sensible flats.

As the group began to disperse to their assigned workstations, Jungkook suddenly called out, "Miss Min, a moment please." His deep voice sent a shiver down Yn's spine, and she turned to face him, her eyes wide and uncertain.

The other interns paused, their ears perked and their jaws clenched as they waited to see what the mafia king wanted with their mute classmate. They watched as Jungkook crooked a finger at Yn, beckoning her closer.

"You will be working in our private cabin today," Jungkook informed her, his voice a low rumble. "I have... special projects that require your particular skills."

Yn's heart hammered in her chest as she realized the implication of Jungkook's words. Working in the private cabin meant being alone with the two most dangerous and desirable men in Korea. She knew she should refuse, should run far away from the dark allure of the Jeon brothers.

But as she looked into Jungkook's eyes, she saw a flicker of something warm and almost tender, a glimmer of the man beneath the cruel facade. She thought of the gentle way Taehyung had spoken to her, the way his smile had made her feel cherished and seen.

With shaking hands, Yn nodded her agreement, her heart pounding as she followed Jungkook towards the private cabin. The other interns watched them go, their faces contorted with rage and jealousy.

How dare she, that mute little nobody, capture the hearts of the Jeon brothers? They had always been the untouchable gods of Seoul, their cruelty and ruthlessness legendary. No one dared to cross them, let alone catch their eye.

But Yn, with her delicate beauty and guileless innocence, had somehow bewitched them. The thought made the other interns seethe with resentment.

As the door to the private cabin closed behind Yn and Jungkook, the darkened space swallowed them whole. The air was thick with tension and the weight of unspoken desires.

Taehyung was already there, lounging on the plush leather sofa that dominated the room. He looked up as they entered, his eyes softening as they landed on Yn's nervous face.

"Welcome, Miss Min," he said warmly, patting the seat beside him. "I trust my brother has explained your duties for the day?"

Yn swallowed hard, her mouth dry with nerves and a sudden, inexplicable anticipation. She nodded, moving hesitantly towards Taehyung, her eyes flickering between the two brothers.

The door clicked shut behind them, sealing the three inside the dimly lit room. The air was heavy with the weight of their shared secrets and the dark promise of what was to come.

Yn had a feeling that her internship at the Jeon Corporation was about to take a very different turn, and there would be no turning back from the path that lay ahead. The Jeon brothers had claimed her, heart and soul, and she knew that her life would never be the same.
