love by time

blast

Jimin had meant something entirely different from her question, but Yoongi interpreted it another way.

However, for Jimin, it was enough that Yoongi was introducing him as his girlfriend. A short while later, lia makes her entrance, and the spotlight shifts toward her.

In her stunning dress, lia descends the stairs with the poise of a model. Every eye in the room is on her, but her own eyes are searching for someone specific.

When lia reaches the bottom, she goes straight to her father. Mr. Sang beams with pride seeing his daughter today, as she looks exceptionally beautiful and is the center of attention. Mr. Sang approaches her and says, "Wow...! You look absolutely stunning."

"Thank you, Dad...!" she replies, soaking in the praise.

Meanwhile,

Jimin had been looking for Tae for a long time and finally spotted him in a corner with a glass of wine.

Approaching her, Jimin says:
"Tae, you brat! You left me alone and came here to drink on the sly? Just wait, I’m going to tell Uncle right now."

Hearing the threat, Tae stops him. "Are you crazy? Don't say anything! brother came up to you, so what was I supposed to do?"

"What was I supposed to do...?" Jimin mimics him words. Then he continues, "Do you know he’s introducing me as his girlfriend to the whole party? I don't understand what has suddenly gotten into him."

"But I’m starting to get it," Tae says thoughtfully.

Jimin raises an eyebrow. "What do you get? Tell me too."

"I think Brother found out about Tansh, and he’s doing all this out of deliberate jealousy," Tae explains.

Jimin gasps. "Really? Could that be true?"

"Why not? Anything is possible in love," Tae replies. After talking a bit more, they hear the host’s voice:
"Now it's time to cut the cake!"

"Come on, let’s see whose birthday it is," Jimin says, pulling Tae into the main hall. They see lia on stage with her father. In front of her is a five-tier chocolate cake, which she cuts with great joy. As she cuts the cake, music fills the hall with a birthday song.

After the formalities, lia’s gaze finally lands on Yoongi, who is standing in one spot talking to some businessmen.

lia walks toward him with a slow, model-like gait and says:"Yoongi...!" Hearing his name, Yoongi looks in the direction of the voice to find lia standing there. She says somewhat shyly, "Yoongi...! Would you have the first dance with me?"

Tae had his eyes on lia the moment she approached Yoongi. Noticing the way lia was looking at him, Tae whispers to Jimin:"Look at that... look how she’s trying to hit on Brother..."

Jimin looks over and notes every expression of lia while she talks to Yoongi. Watching this makes his blood boil, and he starts walking toward them. Just then, he hears his voice:
"I have no interest in dancing with strangers."

At Yoongi's words, lia’s face falls. he wonders how she could be a "stranger."

She and Yoongi are working on the same project, for which they’ve had meetings, and moreover, Yoongi’s father is her father's friend. Even if you set that aside, the party is held specifically for her—so how could she be a stranger at her own party?

"Yoongi, what are you saying...?" Before lia can say anything more, Yoongi continues, "My full name is Min Yoongi... I am only 'Yoongi' for my family and friends."
