The atmosphere inside the Vante Company lobby was heavy, almost suffocating.

Employees had gathered since early morning — managers, assistants, secretaries, even security — all lined up in neat rows, stiff like soldiers, not daring to murmur too loudly.

But their eyes betrayed them.
Glances were exchanged, lips trembled, hands fidgeted. Fear moved between them like an invisible current.

The death of the previous CEO had been sudden… shocking. No details were given.

Rumors were whispered in bathrooms, in hushed tones over coffee, then silenced when footsteps echoed.

And now, the new CEO was arriving.

The message had been delivered to every single employee the night before by none other than Min Yoongi himself:

> “now, when the new CEO enters, you bow. You shut your mouths. You do not ask questions.

And one thing — Jeon Jungkook must never, ever hear the name V.
Not a whisper. Not a joke. Not an accident.
Because if he does… you won’t live to regret it.”

The warning spread like wildfire.

So now, the air was thick with dread. Even the sound of the wall clock ticking felt too loud.

Jungkook was there too.

He stood in the second row, a folder clutched tightly in his hands.
