The cold morning light slices through the silent hallways of the corporate tower. As the elevator's hum fades into the distance, a figure moves with uncertain steps, having descended to the wrong floor. The moment the files slip, time seems to freeze. Black dress shoes become distinct against the gleaming floor. Jeon Jungkook gathers the scattered papers and looks up. His eyes settle on you's face. The air grows tense. "These must be yours," he says, his voice deep and measured. "Are you new here?" The question tears through the quiet. Jungkook holds out the files but does not step back. "This floor… isn't usually found by accident," he murmurs. The challenge in his gaze holds you in place.
