Please don’t forget to..
Now, let us return to our story.
Meanwhile, Jeon Jungkook’s assistant had been tracking Taehyung’s every move and overheard that he would be substituting for Lim Ji-Yeon at the show. He immediately reported everything to Jungkook.
As soon as Jungkook learned of it, he ordered his assistant,
Jeon Jungkook
“ Im going to Cartier’s jewelry show. Make the arrangements immediately!”
Min Yoongi (Jungkook Assistant)
"Yes, president!"
Jeon Jungkook
It wasn’t a particularly special show, but he was eager to see Kim Taehyung in action.
Classical music resounded off the walls of the Haeyi Centre the show had begun.
Inside the makeup room, Taehyung’s transformation was complete. He stood before the mirror in anticipation.
Draped in a sleek, red tailored ensemble with flowing, asymmetrical panels that hinted at elegance and sensuality, he wore a silver mask that radiated mystery.
His hair was tied back neatly, a single white rose tucked in. He looked striking, graceful, and utterly captivating.
The assistant was left speechless.

💭 Even if Taehyung did nothing but stand still, he would draw every eye in the room. With such presence, Lim Ji-Yeon was bound to secure the contract.

“You’ll descend onto the stage on a chair lowered from above. This bracelet here is the Panthère de Cartier piece let me put it on for you.”
The assistant unclasped the bracelet and carefully fastened it around Taehyung’s wrist.
However, Taehyung was slimmer than Lim Ji-Yeon, and the bracelet hung loosely. At the slightest lift of his arm, it slid precariously along his wrist…
This bracelet, a legacy creation of Cartier, Done by the owner for his daughter, it glowed under the lights a sculpted panther head motif in white gold, lavishly set with brilliant-cut diamonds and onyx spots, its piercing emerald eyes and lacquered accents exuding both elegance and fierce grace. It was as though the panther itself stood guard - like two devoted parents protecting their precious child.

“There’s no way for you to wear it properly… what should I do now?”
Kim Taehyung
“Do you trust me?” Taehyung suddenly asked, his voice calm yet commanding, catching Ji-yeon’s assistant off guard.
Ko Sang ho ( Lim Ji-Yeon Assistant)
“At this moment, I can only trust you,” the assistant admitted, nodding with a mix of resignation and urgency.
With no solution in sight, all he could do was rely on the model before him. This was Ji-yeon’s chance to become Cartier’s spokesperson if he ruined it, President Han would have his head.
Kim Taehyung
“In that case, leave it to me…” Taehyung reassured softly.
Ko Sang ho ( Lim Ji-Yeon Assistant)
"Hurry, get ready...you will be going on stage soon!"
Amidst all the commotion, the assistant failed to notice the look in Taehyung’s eyes.
