"Loving Jeongguk has always felt like falling from a great height - palms sweating, heart racing, whole body shimmering as the wind rushes over your skin. It's only now, years and years later, that you're still picking up the pieces of yourself that burst apart once you inevitably hit the ground. But your heart still yearns for the foolish rush anyway."

Working for Jungkook isn't the same as working for Hoseok. For starters, Jungkook doesn't smile, he doesn't appreciate you, and he gives you too much work. It doesn't help that he's incredibly handsome and has women at his beck and call. But as the tension grows, it becomes impossible to resist him. You've dedicated yourself to your job for 8 years so when you finally decide to put yourself first, he asks you to reconsider. And while you know that leaving is difficult, you learn that when it comes to Jungkook, staying is always so much harder.
