Y/N adjusted the stack of papers in her arms as she made her way to Kim Seokjin's office. The day had been busy, but she didn't mind. She enjoyed her work, and the bustling environment kept her engaged. The soft hum of the elevator as it ascended was almost soothing, but as the floors ticked by, she suddenly felt a wave of dizziness. Her vision blurred slightly, and a queasiness rose in her stomach. She clutched the elevator railing tightly, her knees feeling weak.

When the elevator doors opened, she quickly stepped out, looking for a place to sit. Thankfully, there was a cushioned bench in the lobby area. She sank into it, her breathing shallow, trying to steady herself. A female employee passing by noticed her discomfort and hurried over. 

"Are you okay, Mrs. Jeon?" the woman asked, crouching beside her with a concerned expression.

"I—I think I'm fine," Y/N said weakly, pressing a hand to her forehead. "I must have eaten something bad earlier. I feel nauseous, that's all."

The woman offered her a bottle of water. "Here, drink this. It might help."

Y/N took the bottle gratefully, sipping slowly as the dizziness subsided a little. "Thank you. I'll be okay. Just need a minute."

"Are you sure? You don't look too great," the woman said hesitantly.

"I'll be fine. I just need to catch my breath," Y/N assured her, offering a weak smile. After a few more moments, she stood up carefully and made her way to Seokjin's office, willing herself to focus.

"Ah, Y/N! Come in," Seokjin greeted her warmly as she entered his spacious office. He was seated behind his desk, his signature charming smile in place. "I was just about to call you again. Got some papers here that need your magic touch."

Y/N chuckled as she walked over to him. "I'm here now sir. What do you need me to fix this time?"

They delved into the documents, discussing the finer details of the project. As always, Seokjin managed to make the conversation light and enjoyable even though he was the boss. At one point, he leaned back in his chair with a teasing grin.

"By the way," he began, "do you know how much Jeongguk adores you?"

Y/N blinked, caught off guard. "What?"

Seokjin laughed. "Two months ago,when he called me and demanded for a vacation for you,do you know what else he told me Mrs. Jeon?"

"What?" Y/N asked, curious despite herself.

"That man is whipped for him trust me!" Seokjin said, laughing heartily. "he didn't forget to mention how much you mean to him and how much he loves you."

Y/N couldn't help but laugh along. "Awww. He is so adorable ," she admitted, her heart warming at the thought. 

"Well, now I know why," Seokjin added with a wink, though Y/N didn't catch the meaning just yet. 

The conversation continued with more jokes and laughter. When their discussion was over, Y/N stood up to leave, thanking Seokjin for the light-hearted banter. But as she turned, the room suddenly spun around her. A dizzying sensation overtook her, and she clutched the back of the chair for support.

"Y/N? Are you okay?" Seokjin's voice was laced with concern, but Y/N couldn't respond. Darkness clouded her vision, and the last thing she felt was the chair beneath her before she passed out.

When Y/N opened her eyes, the bright white lights above her made her blink rapidly. It took her a moment to realize she was lying on a bed in the company's health unit. Her head felt heavy, but she recognized Seokjin's voice nearby.
