As Yn stepped through the threshold of her home, a sense of triumph radiated from her demeanor. The sound of the door closing behind her drew Zara's attention from the living room, where she was leisurely scrolling through her phone.

Zara curiously approached her best friend, “ You're back aleady? What's the occasion?”

Moments later, Yn's parents emerged from the dining area, their expressions a mixture of curiosity and anticipation.

Her mother warmly spoke while analysing the situation, “ You're glowing, darling. How did it go?”

Yn paused briefly, savoring the moment before unveiling the news she had been holding onto with such excitement.

Yn reveals while grinning “ I've been offered the position! I'm officially part of the company!”

The room froze for a fleeting second, and then a ripple of elation swept through her family.

“ Oh, sweetheart, that's extraordinary news! We're so proud of you. ”, no matter what her mother was one of the reasons she could pass in the interview.

The dedication she had put in her daughter to achieve everything was visible.

She enveloped Yn in a tight embrace, her pride evident in the sheen of tears brimming in her eyes.

Her father beamed with pride “I had no doubt in my mind that you would succeed. This is only the beginning of a remarkable journey.”

Zara, now fully engaged, darted toward Yn and grabbed the small bag she had brought home.

Zara grins, " Wait, did you bring something to celebrate? What's in here?"

Yn chuckles acknowledging her stares,
“ just a little something to commemorate the moment. I thought we could all share some sweets to celebrate.”

The family gathered in the living room, their joy palpable as they discussed Yn's accomplishment. Zara was already brainstorming outfit ideas for Yn's first day, while her parents marveled at her dedication and perseverance. The atmosphere was charged with pride, excitement, and the promise of a bright future.

The day unfolded splendidly, marked by heartfelt congratulations and an atmosphere of unrestrained pride. Yn's family showered her with words of encouragement, their admiration evident in every gesture. The evening passed in a celebratory haze, with laughter and lighthearted chatter filling the air.

Yet, as the night deepened and quietude settled over the house, Yn found herself immersed in contemplative thought. The magnitude of the forthcoming day weighed on her mind-not as a burden, but as an exhilarating unknown.

What challenges would she face? What opportunities would arise? The anticipation was both thrilling and daunting, her thoughts oscillating between excitement and trepidation.

As she prepared for bed, Yn resolved to embrace the uncertainty with grace, her determination renewed by the unwavering support of her family. Tomorrow would mark the inception of a new chapter, and she was ready to face it with courage and purpose.

NEXT DAY.

Yn's car halted upon seeing her new job building. She admired the dedication put in to design the structure of the Company. It was both admirable yet astonishing.

She steps inside after parking her car, a confident smile yet nervousness in her system. Her heart thumped loudly in her chest as she made her way towards the elevator.

As Yn stepped into the sleek, modern elevator, the metallic walls reflected her composed expression. She pressed the button for her floor, the faint hum of the machinery filling the silence.

Just as the doors began to close with a quiet whir, a hand, adorned with a silver watch that gleamed under the fluorescent lights, slipped through the narrowing gap. The motion triggered the sensors, causing the doors to retract smoothly.

Her gaze lifted, and there he was-Jungkook, his presence commanding yet effortlessly charismatic. Dressed impeccably in a tailored suit that accentuated his sharp features, he exuded an air of quiet authority.

Yn instinctively straightened, her posture reflecting her respect and professionalism.

“ Good morning, sir,” she greeted, her voice steady yet tinged with deference. She punctuated the greeting with a polite bow, her movements precise and measured.

Jungkook inclined his head slightly in acknowledgment, his dark eyes meeting hers briefly before stepping into the elevator. As he stood beside her, the atmosphere subtly shifted, charged with a quiet intensity.

The doors slid shut with a finality, and the elevator resumed its ascent, leaving Yn acutely aware of the significance of this seemingly mundane moment.

As Jungkook stepped into the elevator, his usual calm demeanor faltered for the briefest moment.

His sharp eyes, accustomed to reading people in an instant, lingered on Yn. She stood there, poised and professional, yet there was an air of nervous determination about her-a quiet strength that intrigued him.

He acknowledged her polite bow with a subtle nod, but as the elevator ascended, he found himself unsettled by a cascade of unfamiliar emotions.

Why did she seem so familiar, yet so new?

There was something about the way she carried herself, the quiet confidence she exuded despite it being her first day, that struck a chord within him.

For a man who prided himself on maintaining a firm grip on his emotions, this unexpected reaction was puzzling. It wasn't attraction in the conventional sense, nor was it mere curiosity. It was an unnameable pull, a sense of connection that defied logic.

He cast a discreet glance her way, noting the way her hands lightly gripped the portfolio she carried, as if anchoring herself.

Her profile, illuminated by the soft light of the elevator, was calm, though her slightly parted lips hinted at a quiet anticipation.

Jungkook clenched his jaw, redirecting his gaze to the digital display above the doors.

This was neither the time nor place to indulge in such musings. Yet, as the elevator chimed and stopped at her floor, he couldn't shake the thought that her presence, though fleeting, had left a mark on him he couldn't quite explain.

“ Your desk has been situated in my cabin, you'll be working from there. I want to first observe your work..”, he stated in a commanding tone on which Yn wobbles her head, quietly.

As the elevator chimed softly, signaling their arrival, the doors slid open with seamless precision.

Yn stepped forward, her focus split between steadying her nerves and ensuring she made a strong first impression. However, just as she took her first step out, her leg twitched unexpectedly, a brief but sharp betrayal of her composure.

In an instant, she felt herself losing balance, the world tilting slightly. A gasp escaped her lips, her portfolio slipping from her fingers.

Before she could meet the cold, polished floor, a firm hand caught her at the waist, steadying her effortlessly. The suddenness of the contact left her breathless, and as she regained her footing, she realized Jungkook's hand was still securely around her.

His grip was firm yet careful, as though instinctively protective. His other hand hovered nearby, ready to assist further if needed. His sharp features softened, a flicker of concern crossing his face.

“ Are you alright?” he asked, his deep voice calm but laced with genuine care.

Yn quickly straightened, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment. She avoided his gaze, bowing her head slightly.

“ Y-Yes, sir. I'm so sorry for the trouble,” she stammered, her hands smoothing her skirt in an attempt to compose herself.

Jungkook released her gently, stepping back to give her space. His expression shifted back to his usual composed demeanor, though there was an unreadable glint in his eyes.

“ Be careful,” he said, his tone neutral but not unkind.

Yn nodded, clutching her portfolio tightly as she stepped out of the elevator, her heart pounding not just from the near fall but from the unexpected proximity of the man who had already left an indelible impression on her first day.

As the doors closed behind him, Jungkook remained still, his hand lingering briefly at his side where it had steadied her, a faint warmth reminding him of the moment.

As the elevator doors slid shut behind them, Jungkook found himself walking a step behind Yn, his typically focused mind uncharacteristically adrift. His hand, which had instinctively gripped her waist mere moments ago, now hung loosely at his side, tingling as if her warmth still lingered.

He had acted on reflex-an automatic response honed over years of quick thinking and precision. Yet, the memory of her soft gasp and the fleeting touch of her form against his palm lingered with surprising clarity. It wasn't just the action that unsettled him; it was the unfamiliar thoughts that followed.

Her waist had felt impossibly delicate, as though she were crafted to inspire both protection and admiration. The realization made him inwardly frown, a ripple of irritation directed at himself for being distracted by something so trivial. He was a professional, disciplined to compartmentalize and focus, yet here he was, preoccupied by a mere momentary touch.

As they approached the office suite, Jungkook glanced at her. Yn walked with her chin slightly raised, clearly intent on reclaiming her composure. Her determination was evident, but he noticed the faintest hint of color on her cheeks.

“ She's resilient,” he thought, an unexpected hint of approval flickering in his mind.

Yet, as they entered the workspace, his gaze shifted away, his expression returning to its characteristic neutrality. He had no time for distractions, and certainly not ones caused by a first-day secretary.

Still, as he moved toward his office, his thoughts betrayed him, circling back to the warmth of her waist and the peculiar pull she seemed to exert without even trying.

Jungkook exhaled sharply as he sat at his desk, shaking his head as though to clear it. “ Focus,” he muttered to himself, though the memory of her remained stubbornly vivid.

Yn who sat down on her chair a little far from Jungkook. Her eyes suddenly glanced over the pile of files in front of her. “ I expect you to complete it by evening. It's some urgent files that are needed in the meeting tomorrow.”

Jungkook's vocals reached her earbuds indicating that she's been watched under the watchful gaze of Jungkook. She slightly looked up at him whose gaze focused on his computer's screen.

“ yes sir..”, She quickly lets out not wanting to underwhelm him on her first day.
She again glanced at the bundle of files before sighing,

“ it's too much..” she thought stealing a little glance at him who was busy on his screen as she proceeded to handle that stuff. Her eyes casually glanced at him from time searching for any change of attitude in him; but all she could see was that cold face and serene gaze.

Focusing on her work, she managed to complete all those files by evening. Handing him the bundle she says, “ Sir all of these files have been done. I hope there's no error in it?”

Her words managed to make Jungkook look at her from his screen. He coldly glanced at the files before looking at her, his sharp eyes briefly scanning Yn before shifting to the stack of neatly organized files. “ That was fast, Ms. Yn. ” he remarked, his tone a mix of surprise and approval.

He leaned back in his chair, picking up the top file. Flipping through the pages, his brows furrowed momentarily, then relaxed as he found everything in perfect order.

“ You’re efficient,” he said, setting the file down with a faint smirk. “ No errors, at least not so far.”

Yn felt a mix of relief and pride but quickly masked it with a professional nod. “ I try to meet expectations, sir.”

Jungkook’s smirk deepened. “ Meeting expectations is good, but exceeding them? That’s impressive.” He set the rest of the files aside. “ Let’s see if you can keep up this streak. There’s more coming tomorrow.”

“ Of course, sir,” Yn replied confidently, though her mind was already calculating how much coffee she’d need to survive.
