Aera was sleeping peacefully when her phone rang making her wake up.
She reached out for her phone which was on the side table, and with half-open eyes she saw the caller ID flashing the name,
"Secretary Hong"
She answered the call,
"Good morning Miss. Choi.....I called you to know when you are reaching the office "
She saw the time and it was 6 in the morning making her rub her eyes.
"It's only 6 in the morning why are you so desperate for the meeting huh" she said while being annoyed.
"I know ...but I was just making sure that you remember the meeting or not" she chuckled.
"Yeah I remember it and now please let me sleep for a while I will reach there on time so don't be too anxious... I am hanging up" With that, she cuts the call.
After that, she tried sleeping again but the knock on the door made her more annoyed.
The door opened revealing jungkook all dressed up.
He was welcomed with a flying pillow which he caught with one hand.
"Don't tell me you are here to remind me of the meeting" Aera asked while looking at him angrily.
"How did you know" he said with a shocked expression.
She threw another pillow at him which he unluckily didn't dodge.
"Yahh...I am so sorry madam, for ruining your beauty sleep but you have to dress up now," he said while chuckling.
"WHAT?....NOW?....WHY?" she asked confused and shocked.
"Well if you don't want to confront my parents and ruin your mood before an important meeting," he said shrugging his shoulders.
"To be honest I don't want to confront Uncle - Aunty and, talking about my mood well...it is already ruined by you Mr. Jeon Jungkook". She said while throwing another pillow at him. With that she went to her closet.
"Don't take too much time ...I am waiting here". He said while settling himself on the couch.
"OK," she shouted from her walk-in closet.

So he thought to capture this moment with his camera when he was taking her pictures, she noticed it and said,
"Wanna take selfies?" she asked chuckling over his cute reaction.
He was shocked by her sudden question and he dropped his phone.
"Yeah.. actually," he said while being embarrassed.

~time skipped~
They went together to a restaurant to have breakfast, while
Enjoying each other's company.
As they finished their breakfast Aera was waiting for Jungkook, when he went outside to attend the call. Then suddenly Aera saw a little girl running to catch her balloon, not knowing she was already in the middle of the road.
Aera gets out of the car to help the girl and avoid any misshappenings.
~Meanwhile~
Taehyung who was on his way to Choi's company was taking over the call and saw a girl in the middle of the road he thought to save her but before he could move any step further she was already saved by another woman.
"Magnificent," he said while looking at the woman, mesmerized by her beauty and aura.
She then gave the child to her mother while waving towards her happily.
~time skip~
Aera was sitting in the conference room, her heart pounding. This deal was crucial for her company, and she couldn't afford any mistakes. She had heard of Kim Taehyung, the renowned investor, but this was the first time she would meet him. within that time her mind was still preoccupied with the mysterious message she had received. Thinking who it could be, and why someone sent her this kind of message late at night.
Her thoughts were interrupted when the door opened, and Taehyung walked in, with exuding confidence and charisma. Their eyes met, and for a moment, time seemed to stand still. There was something familiar about him, something that stirred a long-buried memory.
"OH SHIT ...she was the one there on the streets.." he said to himself while walking towards Aera.
"Ms. Choi, it's a pleasure to meet you," Taehyung said, extending his hand.
"The pleasure is mine, Mr. Kim," Y/N replied, her voice steady despite the turmoil inside her.
They walked together with jungkook on her side to the meeting room.
As they discussed the potential partnership, Taehyung couldn't help but notice the sadness in Aera's eyes.
Their first meeting was brief, a passing glance in the crowded lobby. But that would mark the beginning of a journey, neither of them could foresee. As Taehyung delved deeper into his investigation, he realized that the truth was far more complex than he had ever imagined.
And so, the threads of fate began to weave their intricate pattern, drawing Taehyung and Aera into a story of love, betrayal, and redemption. Each chapter would bring them closer to the truth, and each ending would leave them hanging on the edge of discovery, as the past and present collided in a breathtaking dance of destiny.
