"Love is like a snowflake, unique and delicate, falling gently upon our hearts, creating a winter wonderland of emotions."
You find yourself seated across at a long conference table. The room is filled with the sound of shuffling papers and the hum of conversation as everyone prepares for the meeting to begin. You glance at Taehyung, noticing the focused expression on his face as he reviews some documents. You can't help but feel a mix of nerves and admiration for his expertise. As the meeting starts, Taehyung takes the lead, guiding the discussion with confidence and precision. You listened attentively, occasionally offering your insights and ideas.
" By showcasing a wide range of voices and experiences, we'll create a magazine that transcends borders and becomes a must-read for people across the globe. They emphasize the importance of diversity and inclusivity in capturing the attention of readers worldwide. " he spoke in a crystal clear way.
You were too focused until something grabbed your attention. You looked over at your shoulder. The delicate fabric of your blouse top betrayed you, revealing more than intended, it was torn. It was too sudden for you to process. You couldn't think of something. Your cheeks flushed with embarrassment. Everyone was focused on the projector. But it was a moment of panic for you. Taehyung stopped for a moment when his gaze turned to you. He turned off the projector as a result of which the room turned dark. Taehyung swiftly grasped his blazer his fingertips tingled with a mix of urgency and tenderness. With a gentle touch, he discreetly draped the blazer over you, shielding from the potential embarrassment that awaited. But there was enough light for you to witness his actions.
You felt a surge of gratitude and at this point you knew you could count on Taehyung.
As the meeting continued, Taehyung couldn't help but steal glances at you to have a check on, his admiration growing with each passing second. Your grace, resilience, and the way you handled the meeting further with poise only deepened his admiration.
But for now, he kept his rush of emotions hidden, focusing on the shared goals and the task at hand. The memory of that wardrobe malfunction lingered in the back of his mind, a reminder of the unspoken closeness between you.
There's an underlying warmth and connection between you both , a shared passion for the work. As the meeting progresses, you exchange subtle smiles and encouraging nods, silently supporting him.
Gradually the meeting came to an end. And the employees made their exit from the conference room. Taehyung diligently reviewed the documents before you. The fading daylight filtered through the frosted windows, painting delicate patterns on the walls, reminiscent of delicate snowflakes.
You and Taehyung were immersed in the work to wrap it up with a final touch. The room was bathed in a warm, amber light, creating a cozy and intimate atmosphere.
The fading light outside casts long shadows, stretching across the polished wooden table. Your focus and synchronized movements were accentuated by the subtle play of light and shadow. The quietude of the room was only interrupted by the occasional rustle of paper and the soft sound of their pens gliding across the pages. It was a moment frozen in time, where the beauty of the winter sunset mirrored the depth of your professional connection.
You exchanged a final glance, your and his eyes reflecting the quiet satisfaction of a job well done. In the fading light, you knew that this winter sunset had witnessed not only their diligent work but also the blossoming of a remarkable partnership. Your palms swept against each other every time in the process of work, which generated an electric shock for you.
" M-r. Ki-m. " you stuttered before taking a deep breath.
" I don't know, how to be thankful to you. Thank you so much for saving me from the embarrassment. I was too sunken into the thoughts to process the sudden malfunction that I didn't realise it. " You looked up at him with a sincere gratitude.
Every detail of your presence under the winter sunset was etched into Taehyung's memory. In that moment, a rush of emotions surged through Taehyung's veins. His heart fluttered with a mix of admiration, affection, and an undeniable pull towards her.
' Damn , what's this sudden outburst. ' he thought to himself before answering her.
" Don't be thankful. It's my duty, to protect you. " his last words made you gaze into his eyes.
" As your higher authority. " he modified his words making you nod in agreement.
Little did you know, this unexpected mishap would be the catalyst for further profound between you both.
And it was just the beginning.

The festive mood was enhanced by the lively music playing in the background, filling the room with joyful melodies and making it impossible to resist tapping one's feet or breaking into a spontaneous dance. From classic holiday tunes to upbeat pop hits, the playlist was carefully curated to keep everyone in high spirits.
The press captured every moment, from the heartfelt speeches to the contagious laughter shared among colleagues. The event was a true celebration of the holiday season, bringing together coworkers, as they embraced the spirit of joy, gratitude, and togetherness.
You couldn't help but feel grateful for being a part of such a vibrant and supportive work community. You mingled with colleagues and exchanged warm wishes.
You wore a sophisticated floor-length gown in a deep navy blue color. The dress has a timeless silhouette with a fitted bodice and a flowing skirt that cascades elegantly to the floor. The intricate beadwork and delicate lace detailing add a touch of glamour and refinement.
You were greeted by Jungkook, Yoongi and Namjoon, the bestest pals of Taehyung. They were friendly and overall kept you occupied.
" So Faye, how is the party going for you at this moment. " Jungkook questioned while taking a sip from the champagne glass.
" Its lovely. I love the festive get togethers. " You smiled in response.
" I've read a handful of your articles , it's amazing. Keep going. " Namjoon marks with a smile having you to thank him being delighted.
" Mmh. The chocolate fondue is amazing. " Jungkook frowned being overwhelmed by the taste. You chuckled.
" Please have fun to the fullest. Cheers to the night. " you held up your champagne glass wishing them and they returned the same.
You looked over Taehyung. He's wearing a sleek black suit with a velvet blazer that adds a touch of elegance. The suit is tailored to perfection, highlighting his impeccable style. He held the whiskey glass while sharing a conversation with his other employees and friends.
" Bet he would be telling them about work here too. " Sarah spoke laughing. You giggled with her remark.
" Guess so. " You shrugged.
" But I'm not gonna lie, he looks perfect. Like a husband material. So authentic, so cheesy and just freakin amazing. "
" Ahem, but I thought someone was mocking him with - ' Mr. Grumpy arrogant boss ' " you mocked.
" Bae, him looking handsome has nothing to do with his personality. I mean god wasted such a good sculpture on an arrogant man. " she shrugged draining the champagne in her throat.
" Sarah, it's just that he's serious about work. " you spoke nonchalantly.
" Mmh. I can see you defending him now. Also why wouldn't you ? After all , he chose you as his substitute assistant. " she tugged your shoulder almost teasing.
" Just a substitute okay ? Mr. Shin would return after the holidays. " you explained.
Before she can exchange any other words. You saw Taehyung approaching you. You and Sarah bowed a little with gratitude.
" Season greetings, Mr. Kim " Sarah spoke.
" Happy holidays. " he spoke nodding at her. Sarah left you both alone to attend her call.
And now it was you and him.
" Season greetings, Ms. Faye, you look absolutely ravishing tonight. The holiday spirit suits you pretty much. " His words convey admiration and respect, acknowledging your appearance formally.
A rush of blush flushes in your cheeks.
" Thank you, Mr. Kim. You look stunning as always. " you compliment.
" So, are you heading to your hometown tomorrow? " He inquired taking a sip of his whiskey.
" Yes , early in the morning, sir. "
" Great. Have fun. But do remember about the manuscript. You have to complete it by January and before the new year. Is that clear ? "
" Crystal clear, sir. Do not worry. " you assured.
" Lastly. Enjoy the holidays. " Eh clicked his whiskey glass with yours.
Throughout the night till midnight, the event was filled with laughter, joy, and a vibrant atmosphere. The employees danced to the lively music, indulged in delicious food, and even took some fun group photos together. As the night drew to a close, everyone reflected on the amazing time they had, grateful for the opportunity to celebrate and connect with each other.
