The Second Choice

Frequent Occurence

The excitement of the Mexico trip had left a significant mark on everyone, especially on Savannah and Jimin. Their intimate moments had become a frequent occurrence after Y/N and Taehyung's early departures. Now, with the trip concluded, the team was returning to their usual routines, ready to dive back into the work that awaited them at Kojae Media.

Jimin, now settled back into his role as the Brand and Publications Manager, tried to focus on the day's meetings. His mind, however, kept wandering back to his time with Savannah. The physical and emotional closeness they had shared had created a bond that was difficult to ignore. As he sat in his office, reviewing the latest reports, he couldn't help but notice the lingering smile on Savannah's face whenever they crossed paths.

"Hey, Jimin," Savannah said, entering his office with a cup of coffee. "Got a minute?"

Jimin looked up from his desk, his expression softening. "Sure, what's up?"

Savannah perched on the edge of his desk, her tone casual but her eyes sharp. "I just wanted to touch base about the new campaign. I've got a few ideas I think you'll like."

Jimin nodded, trying to maintain his professional demeanor. "Alright, let's hear them."

As Savannah began discussing her ideas, Jimin's mind wandered to their recent nights together. He was conflicted, feeling the weight of their growing closeness and the secrecy that still surrounded their relationship. He had avoided discussing their personal life, especially in front of others, to prevent complications.

Taehyung, back at his role as Editor in Chief and Communications Director, couldn't help but notice the shift in dynamics within the team. He had his suspicions about Jimin and Savannah's behavior and was keeping an eye out for any changes.

During a meeting with Jungkook and Miguel, Taehyung casually mentioned, "So, what do you think of the latest feedback on the new product line?"

Jungkook replied, "I think it's solid. We just need to fine-tune a few things. By the way, have you noticed any changes in the office vibe since we got back?"

Taehyung raised an eyebrow. "You mean besides the usual post-trip energy dip?"

Jungkook hesitated before answering, "Just that Jimin and Savannah seem... closer. I don't know, maybe it's just me I like I know they are tight but this tight ain the tight you move with a a friend if you get what I mean  ."

Taehyung's gaze sharpened. "Interesting they doing this shit again. ."

As he tried to focus on his work as Brand and Publications Manager, Jimin found himself increasingly distracted by thoughts of both Y/N and Savannah. The secret relationship he had with Savannah was taking an emotional toll, especially given his ongoing issues with Y/N.

In the office, Y/N was visibly distant. Her usual warmth had turned into cold silence, especially after Jimin had abruptly ended their phone call. Jimin was well aware that Y/N was upset with him. He approached her office, hoping to mend things.

"Hey, Y/N, can we talk?" Jimin asked, leaning against the doorway.

Y/N glanced up from her desk, her expression neutral. "Not right now, Jimin. I'm swamped with work."

Jimin sighed, frustration evident in his tone. "Look, I know you're upset, and I understand why. I just... I need to explain."

Y/N's eyes narrowed. "You don't need to explain anything to me. Actions speak louder than words, and hanging up the phone like that was disrespectful. I'm busy, Jimin go away."

As Y/N turned back to her work, Jimin felt a pang of regret but also a surge of helplessness. He knew that no amount of explanation could undo the hurt he had caused. In the meantime, Savannah had become a source of emotional support for him. Their ongoing affair had deepened, and Savannah's presence offered Jimin a distraction from his growing complications with Y/N.
