Countdown

In the enchanted tapestry of human connections, trust is the gossamer thread spun by ethereal hands, binding together hearts and souls in a delicate dance of unity. When this thread is severed, it unravels the magical weave of our shared existence, leaving behind an abyss where once there was warmth and solidarity. The betrayal of trust is a silent tempest, a whispering storm that dissolves the foundation of our bonds. It feels akin to a fairy tale turned dark, a melancholic ballad of sorrow and disillusionment. Each stanza echoes with the haunting resonance of promises broken, and each verse is etched with the shimmering ink of heartache and disbelief.

Choyeon stood on the balcony, her eyes drifting over the cityscape bathed in the golden hues of dawn. The skyline stretched endlessly before her, a tapestry of glass and steel, alive with the first whispers of morning. The gentle breeze played with her hair, and for a moment, she felt an almost otherworldly peace, lost in the beauty of the world waking up.

Time seemed to stand still as she admired the view, the serene silence enveloping her in a cocoon of tranquility. It wasn't until a faint vibration in her hand brought her back to reality. She glanced down at her phone, intending to text her best friend, Kazuha, about the mesmerizing sunrise. As her eyes focused on the screen, they widened in shock. The hour displayed on her phone jolted her into a state of panic. She was late for the meeting!

Her heart raced as she gathered her belongings in a flurry. Papers, pens, and her laptop were hastily shoved into her bag. Without a moment to lose, she rushed out of her room, her heels clicking against the polished marble floors of the luxurious five-star hotel. As she sped down the hallway, she nearly collided with a tall figure emerging from one of the adjacent rooms.

It was none other than the CEO of Seraphic Travels, her boss's acquaintance. His sharp, penetrating gaze met hers for a fleeting moment, a silent acknowledgment passing between them before he continued on his way to his own office. Choyeon couldn't help but steal a glance over her shoulder, captivated by his commanding presence. Realizing her distraction, she shook her head and quickened her pace toward the exit.

Bursting through the grand doors of the hotel, she flagged down the nearest Uber, her urgency evident. The driver, sensing her need for speed, expertly navigated through the morning traffic. Choyeon anxiously checked her watch, the seconds ticking away far too quickly.

Arriving at the sleek headquarters of Seraphic Travels, she dashed inside, her mind racing. As she entered the elevator, she caught a glimpse of her reflection in the mirrored walls. Her usually composed demeanor was replaced with a look of frantic determination. The elevator doors slid open, revealing the bustling office where she served as the secretary to the CEO.

Choyeon hurried to her desk, quickly organizing the materials needed for the meeting. Her breath came in hurried bursts, but she forced herself to take a deep breath, trying to regain her composure. The door to the CEO's office was slightly ajar, and she could hear the low murmur of voices inside. Taking one last steadying breath, she knocked softly and entered, ready to face whatever challenges the day would bring.

As she stepped into the room, the CEO glanced up, his eyes twinkling with a mix of amusement and curiosity. "Ah, Choyeon. Just in time," he said, his voice smooth and reassuring.

Choyeon nodded, offering a small, apologetic smile. "Good morning, sir. I apologize for the delay."

The CEO waved off her apology with a dismissive hand. "No need to worry. Let's get started."

Choyeon took her seat, her earlier panic slowly fading into the background as she focused on the tasks at hand. The meeting commenced, and she diligently took notes, her mind still occasionally drifting back to the balcony and the fleeting encounter in the hallway. Little did she know, this morning's rush would set the stage for a series of unexpected events, intertwining her fate with the enigmatic CEO and the mysterious allure of Seraphic Travels.
