Your hurried footsteps echoed down the seemingly endless hallways of BigHit. You were recently hired to work on their staff, which you were elated about. It was your first day on the job and you were totally lost. The building was much bigger than you initially thought it was and you were struggling to find the correct room. You were out of breath from speed walking around the building, but you refused to give up, though you were starting to lose hope and you were running low on time. The last thing you wanted was to be late on your first day, especially at a big entertainment company like BigHit.

It must have been your lucky day, because as you turned a corner, you spotted someone walking down the hallway.
"Excuse me." You called out, hoping to get some directions.
The man turned around causing you to slow a bit, almost coming to a stop in the middle of the hallway. It was Taehyung.
"Oh. I'm so sorry." You apologized. "I thought you were maybe an employee."
He gave you a soft smile, tilting his head slightly.
"I haven't seen you around before."
"I started today. Well... I haven't exactly started yet. I'm having trouble finding where I'm supposed to be." You admitted.
"I'd be happy to help. Which department are you working in?"
"Fashion. I'm a stylist."
"Oh." His eyes seemed to brighten. "You're in luck. That's on this floor."
"Thank goodness." You breathed a sigh of relief.
"Follow me."
"You can just give me directions. I'm sure you're busy. I don't want to keep you from schedules." You insisted on finding your own way.
"Don't worry about it. I have the time." He brushed you off, continuing down the hallway.
You hurriedly followed behind him, fighting back the urge to pinch yourself. First day on the job and you run into one of the biggest idols in the company.

Your eyes refused to leave him, staring right at the back of his head, watching the way his slightly wavy chestnut hair bounced as he walked.
This was the Kim Taehyung walking mere feet from you. You were in the presence of talent.
"Here you go." He gestured to a door near the end of the hallway by one of the meeting rooms.
Glancing at your phone, you're relieved to see that you've got three minutes to spare.
"Thank you so much. You're a lifesaver."
"It's no problem."
He bid you goodbye, flashing his stunning boxy smile before striding off down the hallway. You had to take a moment to process everything before stepping into the wardrobe room.
The first thing you did was apologize, even though you made it a few minutes early.
"That's alright." A woman was quick to wave you off. "It's an easy building to get lost in. Plus, it's your first day."
"Thank you." You sigh.
"Your name is Y/n, right?"
"Yes ma'am." You nodded.
"Come here. I'll show you around and let you know what we do around here."

Your first day on the job, while starting off rough, wasn't so bad. There were moments where you struggled, but that's to be expected. The other wardrobe staff members were all very kind and welcoming. Many offered to help if you ever got stuck and gave you words of encouragement.
Over the next few days, you were able to get to know your coworkers and listen to their stories about how they ended up working at BigHit. Not only was it interesting to know how they found the job, but it helped you get comfortable with your coworkers, making the job seem less daunting.

The head of the wardrobe department stood at the front of the room, calling for everyone's attention.
"Today is an important day. BTS are preparing for a new comeback. Si Hyuk has asked that we start preparing for concept photos. That being said, we'll be having a meeting later today with the group to discuss any special requests they have for their wardrobe. I've got a list here that says who will be paired with each member." She announced.
You took in a short breath of anticipation. Not only would you be getting to meet with the group today, but each stylist would be getting paired with a member, meaning you'd get to work one-on-one with them.
As the head of the department began calling out names, you tuned in, paying very close attention.
"Y/n, you'll be with Taehyung."
Your eyes widened. Once the initial shock and disbelief wore off, your mind started to fill with ideas. You had no idea what the concept was, but your creativity was bouncing off the walls, different clothing items popping into your head. Being a fan yourself, you've been following the group for quite some time and have been able to get a feel for each of their unique styles, especially Taehyung's. He enjoyed deep, earthy tones like olive green and beige. He often wore khaki slacks and warm-colored sweaters, sometimes opting for his white Celine t-shirt.
You were very much looking forward to the meeting so you could discuss concepts with Taehyung and share some of your ideas.
