Chapter 3 : What could Possibly Gone Wrong?

          

           As Y/N stepped through the glass doors of Woo One Corporation, she was greeted by the familiar hum of activity in the lobby. The sleek, modern design of the space was impressive, with high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that allowed natural light to flood in. The walls were adorned with art pieces that reflected the company’s innovative spirit, and the reception area buzzed with employees chatting, phones ringing, and the soft clatter of keyboards.

In the past few weeks, the office had been abuzz with whispers about the new CEO—mysterious, enigmatic, and rumored to be shaking things up at Woo One. The PR chat group had been particularly active, with speculation running rampant about who this new leader was and how he would impact the company’s direction. Y/N had watched the conversations unfold from a distance, intrigued yet skeptical of the gossip that filled their daily chats.

Dressed in a tailored white tweed jacket and matching skirt, her hair neatly tied in a low bun, Y/N felt a sense of professionalism wash over her. An employee ID hung around her neck, swaying slightly as she walked. She smiled warmly at her colleagues, greeting them with a nod as she made her way through the lobby, unaware that someone was watching her.

On the bridge inside Woo One, Tae Hyung leaned against the railing, his gaze trained on the bustling scene below. He had been observing his employees from this vantage point, keenly aware of the whispers that surrounded his presence. Next to him, Jung Kook stood with an amused expression, casually scrolling through his phone while keeping an eye on the activity.

“Is it always this chaotic?” Tae Hyung asked, his tone a mix of curiosity and a hint of amusement as he watched the interactions below.

“Pretty much,” Jung Kook replied with a chuckle. “They’re all buzzing about you—speculating about your management style, how you plan to handle things, and what you’ll change first. It’s like watching a live reality show.”

Tae Hyung smirked slightly, but his attention shifted when he spotted Y/N entering the lobby. She stood out in her crisp outfit, exuding confidence as she navigated through the crowd. As she looked up and caught sight of Jung Kook, she waved, mouthing a cheerful “Good morning” to him.

Jung Kook responded with a friendly wave, but when he turned to share the moment with his boss, he found Tae Hyung had moved slightly, now leaning more into the shadows. “Where’d you go?” he muttered, realizing that Tae Hyung had slipped out of view just as Y/N had entered the lobby.

The interior of Woo One’s lobby was striking, a blend of modern aesthetics and functionality. Large potted plants lined the edges, adding a touch of greenery to the otherwise polished space. The reception desk was sleek and minimalist, manned by friendly staff who greeted visitors with genuine smiles. Comfortable seating areas scattered throughout invited casual conversations, while the open layout encouraged collaboration among employees.

Y/N’s eyes sparkled as she continued to greet her colleagues, the atmosphere around her filled with the usual camaraderie and energy. But as she moved further into the lobby, she couldn’t shake the feeling of being watched. The notion flickered in the back of her mind, but she brushed it off, focusing on her responsibilities and the day ahead.

Meanwhile, Tae Hyung stood just out of sight, his thoughts swirling. He had seen Y/N’s warm smile and engaging demeanor, and it struck a chord with him. There was something refreshing about her—something that made him want to know more.

           Just then, Jung Kook sauntered over, a playful grin spreading across his face as he leaned casually against the pillar next to Tae Hyung, who was still partially concealed in the shadows. “Are you trying to avoid Y/N noona, hyung?” he teased, his eyes glinting with mischief. “She doesn’t even know your position yet.”
