The meeting room has a bright, modern space with large windows letting in natural light. There are several desks arranged in clusters, and a long table in the center of the room where Y/n is seated with a few HR staff members. The table is cluttered with resumes, folders, and notebooks.
HR Manager: (bowing) "Good morning, CEO."
HR Team Members: (bowing) "Good morning, CEO."
Y/n: (looking up, smiling) "Good morning, Sir. We're just about to start."
Jungkook: (smiling back, walking toward the table) "Morning, Miss Y/n. How's everything going?"
Y/n: (efficiently, organizing the resumes) "Everything is on schedule. I've shortlisted the top candidates based on their resumes and preliminary interviews. Shall we start?"
Jungkook: (nodding, pulling out a chair) "Yes, I want to make sure we pick the right people who can be useful for this project."
Y/n: (handing over a folder) "Here are the shortlisted candidates, Sir. We've narrowed it down to eight after the final round."
Jungkook: (glancing at the list, flipping through pages) "Good. Let's go through their profiles one more time."
Y/n: (pointing to notes on the resumes) "Of course, Sir. I've also included some additional notes on each candidate based on their interviews and backgrounds."
As they started going through the resumes, Jungkook's hand accidentally brushed against Y/n's as they reached for the same file at the same time. Both of them froze for a moment.
Jungkook: (quickly pulling his hand away, nervous) "Sorry, I didn't mean to..."
Y/n: (smiling softly, her eyes meeting his) "It's okay, Sir."
Jungkook: (in mind) Why does a simple touch feel so electrifying? Get a grip, Jeon Jungkook. Focus.
Jungkook felt his heart skip a beat as he looked into her eyes longer than necessary. He cleared his throat, trying to regain his composure.
Jungkook: (clearing his throat, trying to sound casual) "Right, um, let's continue."
Y/n: (in mind) Did he feel that too? This is ridiculous. We're just co-workers... but why does his touch made me feel butterflies in my stomach?
Y/n: (glancing at him occasionally) "Shall we review the first candidate?"
Jungkook: (forcing himself to focus, nodding) "Yes, let's do that."
They continue going through the profiles, Y/n occasionally jotting down notes as they discuss the candidates. Jungkook rubs his chin thoughtfully and occasionally sips from a coffee cup placed on the table.
Jungkook: (pointing to a resume) "She has strong technical skills and good communication; I think let's select her."
Y/n: (nodding, tapping the resume while sneaking a glance at Jungkook) "Yes, and she also has experience in a similar industry, which is a plus."
