Irresistible Desire

Kim Taehyung lounged on a plush velvet sofa in his penthouse suite, absently scrolling through his phone. The panoramic view of the city skyline through the floor-to-ceiling windows did little to alleviate his boredom. With a sigh, he tossed his phone aside and reached for a crystal glass of whiskey.

Being the sole heir to the Kim fortune had its perks, but it also came with a sense of entitlement that Taehyung had embraced wholeheartedly. He was used to getting what he wanted, when he wanted it. Whether it was the latest sports car, a coveted art piece, or the attention of anyone who caught his eye, Taehyung never took no for an answer.

Tonight, he was hosting yet another extravagant party, one that promised to be the talk of the town. The music pulsed through the room, and the laughter of his glamorous guests filled the air. But for Taehyung, it was just another evening of shallow interactions and fleeting pleasures.

“Taehyung , darling!” called out his best friend, Jisoo, as she sauntered over, her sequined dress shimmering under the lights. “You look positively bored. What’s the matter?”

Taehyung gave her a wry smile. “Just the usual, Jisoo. You know how it is. Everyone wants something from me, but no one really knows me.”

Jisoo rolled her eyes. “Oh, stop being so melodramatic. Look around! This party is amazing. Enjoy it.”

Taehyung took a sip of his whiskey, his gaze drifting over the crowd. That’s when he saw him—Kim Seokjin. Unlike the other guests who flaunted their wealth and status, Seokjin stood out with his casual attire and easygoing smile. There was something undeniably magnetic about him.

“Who’s that?” Taehyung asked, nodding towards Seokjin.

Jisoo followed his gaze and smirked. “That’s Kim Seokjin. He’s new in town, works in a non-profit or something. Definitely not your usual type.”

Taehyung interest was piqued. “I think I need to introduce myself.”
