The Second Choice

May The Best Man Win

A few days later,

Y/n arrives at work, feeling fully recovered from her cold. She parks her car and walks towards the building with a sense of relief, glad to be back to her usual self. As she approaches the elevator, she hears Taehyung's voice calling from behind her.

"Hold the elevator, Y/n!" Taehyung calls out as he rushes toward her.

Y/n quickly presses the button to keep the elevator doors open and smiles as Taehyung steps inside. "You made it just in time," she says warmly.

"Thanks for holding it," Taehyung replies, stepping in and pressing the button for their floor. "How are you feeling today? I heard you were under the weather."

"I'm glad to say I'm back to normal," Y/n says with a relieved grin. "It feels so good not to be sick anymore."

Taehyung chuckles and adds, "I'm glad too. When you're sick, you tend to become a bit clingy and, well, annoying."

Y/n rolls her eyes playfully. "Oh, really? I wasn't aware of that."

"Did you like the basket I sent?" Taehyung asks, his tone light and teasing. "I call it the 'You're Sick, I Got You Covered' basket."

Y/n laughs, her eyes brightening with amusement. "Yes, I loved it. The food was perfect—especially the snacks and medicine. You really know how to pick out what someone needs."

"I'm glad you enjoyed it," Taehyung says with a satisfied smile as the elevator reaches their floor. "I just wanted to make sure you were taken care of."

As they exit the elevator and head towards their respective workspaces, Y/n feels a renewed sense of gratitude for Taehyung's thoughtfulness and their friendly banter. The day promises to be better with her colleagues' support and a fresh start.

As Y/n and Taehyung step off the elevator and head towards their workstations, they are greeted by Haechan, Henry, and Rosalina, who are chatting near the entrance.

"Hey, Y/n! Glad to see you back!" Haechan exclaims with a friendly smile. "How are you feeling?"

Y/n returns the smile, feeling a warm sense of camaraderie. "I'm doing much better, thanks! It's great to be back at work."

Henry, who's standing next to Haechan, nods in agreement. "We missed you around here. It's good to see you're up and about again."

Rosalina adds her own cheerful greeting, "Yeah, we were all a bit worried. Hope you're all healed up now?"

Y/n nods, her expression grateful. "Definitely. I'm just happy to be back and catching up on everything. Thanks for asking, everyone!"

Taehyung, standing beside her, chimes in with a grin. "She's back to her usual self—no more cold-induced clinginess."

The group laughs, and Rosalina playfully nudges Taehyung. "Well, we're glad you're not clingy anymore, Y/n. It's always nice to have you around."

Y/n laughs along, appreciating the warm reception from her colleagues. "Thanks, everyone. I'm looking forward to catching up with everything and getting back into the swing of things."

**A Few Hours Later:**

Taehyung gathers the entire team for a meeting, calling everyone's attention. As the team settles into their seats, confusion and curiosity fill the room.

Jimin starts the meeting with a reassuring tone, "I want to start by saying that today's announcements are nothing to worry about. Everything is good news."

Jungkook takes over from there, "We're excited to share that we'll be welcoming a few new employees to our team over the next few weeks. They'll be joining us gradually, and we're looking forward to introducing them to you all."
