Soulmates in Disguise

Eyes That Speak

Min Ria stood at the entrance of the BigHit building, her heart beating rapidly as she gazed up at the towering structure. This wasn't just any job; it was a dream come true, one she had only dared to imagine. Her best friend, Min Yoongi, had been her unwavering support, pulling strings to get her this job.

She stepped inside, the sleek, modern interior of the building enveloping her. The atmosphere was a blend of business and creativity, a testament to the global empire that BTS had built. Ria took a deep breath, reminding herself that she was here because she was capable-because Yoongi believed in her.

As she approached the lobby, she spotted Yoongi waiting for her, leaning casually against the wall with his arms crossed. His presence immediately brought a wave of comfort over her. They had been friends since middle school, sharing countless memories, both happy and challenging.

"Yoongi!" Ria called out, a smile spreading across her face as she walked towards him.

Yoongi looked up and grinned, pushing himself off the wall. "There she is, the future star manager of BigHit."

Ria rolled her eyes playfully, but the warmth in her heart was undeniable. "You're exaggerating, as usual."

He chuckled, pulling her into a brief but tight hug. "I'm not exaggerating, Ria. You're going to be amazing. How are you feeling?"

"A mix of excited and terrified," she admitted, her voice softening as she pulled back to look at him.

Yoongi smirked, his eyes glinting with mischief. "Well, you should be terrified. Have you met Namjoon? That man could probably write a thesis in the time it takes us to make a cup of coffee."

Ria laughed, the sound easing some of the tension in her chest. "I'm ready for anything, even Namjoon's intellect. Thanks for this, Yoongi. Really."

He waved her off, his expression turning serious for a moment. "You earned this, Ria. I just opened the door. Now go knock their socks off."

His words filled her with a renewed sense of confidence. With Yoongi by her side, she felt like she could take on anything. Together, they made their way to the elevators, chatting about old memories and inside jokes, which eased her nerves.

As they reached the conference room, she was greeted by a few members of the BigHit management team. They exchanged pleasantries before diving into the meeting. The atmosphere was professional but warm, and Ria found herself relaxing as the conversation flowed.

"We've heard great things about you from Yoongi," one of the managers said, glancing at the notes in front of him. "As you know, you'll be managing the schedules and day-to-day activities for BTS. But we also need you to act as a temporary makeup artist for Jeon Jungkook while our regular artist is on leave. Are you comfortable with that?"

Ria nodded confidently. "I'm excited about the opportunity. I'm ready to take on both roles."

The manager smiled, clearly pleased with her response. "That's great to hear. We'll start you off with a one-month probation period, but from what we've seen and heard, we're confident you'll be a great fit."

As the meeting continued, Ria absorbed every detail, her mind already racing with ideas on how she could contribute to the team. When the meeting finally wrapped up, she left the room with a sense of accomplishment and anticipation for what lay ahead.

Yoongi was waiting for her outside the room, leaning casually against the wall. "How'd it go?" he asked, straightening up as she approached.

"It went really well," Ria replied, her smile reflecting her excitement. "I'm starting tomorrow, and I'll be managing the schedules and also working as Jungkook's temporary makeup artist."
