"Here is the list of names of the guests who will be attending," An employee handed a clipboard to Yoongi, " A lot of major enterprises will be joining."

"Excellent," Yoongi skimmed through the names before returning the clipboard, "We should have the agendas finalized by today. Don't forget to attend this evening's meeting."

The employee bowed before walking away.

"I think we need to reorganize the schedule a bit." Hoseok's voice echoed through the room as he followed Yoongi to his office. Yoongi pushed open the door, stepping inside before holding it open for Hoseok. Hoseok handed over the schedule which Yoongi took, examining the document closely.

"We should start setting up the event hall tomorrow." Hoseok added as he settled into Yoongi's sofa.

"Very well." Yoongi cleared his throat as he set the document down.

Hoseok sat there in silence, stealing a quick glance at Yoongi. His lips parted slightly as if he was on the verge of saying or asking something but hesitated.

"I know what you're thinking," Yoongi's eyes remained on his computer screen, "How's Mira doing?"

Hoseok sighed as he leaned back against the sofa. He had long since stopped expecting anything different, knowing that Yoongi's answers were always the same.

"I told her to come to the company today."

Hoseok's eyes widened as he stared at Yoongi, momentarily caught off guard.

"She'll be here soon." Yoongi added nonchalantly, his fingers continuing to type away at the keyboard, "I want her to attend today's meeting so she knows what's going on."

Hoseok raised an eyebrow in astonishment. It was rare for Yoongi to involve Mira so directly in business matters.

Was this finally a step toward something different?

But Hoseok immediately scrapped the idea the moment he recalled his last conversation with Yoongi.

Just as Hoseok was about to stand up and leave the room, Yoongi's phone buzzed. Yoongi instantly reached for it before typing a response to the sender.

"She's here. Tell her to come to my office."

"Hoseok! You didn't have to come pick me up." You smiled before bowing slightly in respect.

"I'm really glad you're here." Hoseok grinned as he led you down the hall toward your husband's office, "Honestly, I'm surprised he even invited you."

"Yeah... Me too." You admitted with a nervous laugh, nodding in greeting to the staff as they passed by.

As you finally reached the door to Yoongi's office, you paused to thank Hoseok, taking a deep breath before pushing the door open.

You had never visited your husband at his company before, let alone set foot in his office. The atmosphere was thick with unfamiliarity as you stepped inside, your eyes locking with Yoongi's.

The moment Yoongi noticed your presence, he immediately turned off his computer, his gaze fixed on you with an intensity that made you freeze.

"This is the schedule for the gala. It still needs to be fixed though." Yoongi said, his tone businesslike as he handed you the document without waiting for you to respond.

You grabbed it, your fingers accidentally brushing against his in the process. You cleared your throat to shake off the awkwardness as you carefully read through the details. You let out a curious hum, engrossed in the contents, unaware that Yoongi's gaze hadn't shifted from you.

His eyes followed your every movement, studying the way your eyebrows furrowed in concentration.

"We can switch these two," you suggested, stepping closer to his desk before pointing out the two bullet points in the document, "I think it would make more sense."

"Why?" Yoongi asked, his tone carrying a hint of curiosity as he waited for your explanation.

"Guests will start pouring in around this time," Your finger traced the schedule as you explained, "It's best to start with the presentation on what your company has to offer and then move on to the plans for new renovations. That way, you'll have their full attention from the start and they'll be more engaged with the rest of the evening."

The office fell into a brief silence as Yoongi considered your suggestion, nodding thoughtfully. He reached for a pen and handed it to you.

"Circle the events that need to be switched for me and write down your explanation. We can discuss more at the meeting."

You nodded in agreement, taking the pen and carefully marking the changes as he requested.

After setting the pen down, you looked up at him.

"Anything else I can help with?"

"That's all for now." Yoongi's finger tapped rhythmically on the desk, as if in deep thought.

You hesitantly stepped back, making sure it was okay for you to leave before turning around.

"I'll be in Hoseok's off-"

"Miss Seo."

The suddenness of his voice made you freeze mid-step. You slowly turned back around, your eyes meeting his.

You noticed the brief flicker of hesitation in Yoongi's expression. He let out a low hum, his eyes darting around the room, avoiding yours. He bit his lips, a rare sign of unease that made your heart skip a beat.

You raised an eyebrow, silently urging him to just say whatever it was that he was holding back.

"About the deal." It was the first time you had seen him stutter. Actually, it was the first time you even saw him this restless.

"I'm not just agreeing to this to make you happy if that's what you were going to ask." You said calmly, "I want this too."

You couldn't quite decipher Yoongi's expression as he stared at you. It was as if he had more to say but was struggling to find the right words.

But you could be wrong. He's hard to understand after all.
