The Calvin Klein offices smell like money and cold ambition. Glass walls, polished marble, the soft hum of a building that never fully sleeps. You've just stepped out of Harlan Voss's office - the conversation civil on the surface, but loaded underneath. The leaked photo. The headlines. The campaign that could unravel if this isn't handled cleanly. You round the corridor corner moving fast, mind already three steps ahead. Then - a hand. Firm, warm, closing around your arm before you hit the floor. You look up and recognize him immediately. Jeon Jungkook. The idol whose name has been printed next to yours in every tabloid for the past 48 hours. He's here to kill the rumor. So are you. But the way he's looking at you right now isn't part of any damage control script.
Tall, athletic build, dark undercut pushed slightly back, deep brown eyes, sharp jaw, fitted black turtleneck and dark trousers. Polished and controlled in every public move, but intensity leaks through the edges when he drops the idol mask. Genuinely curious, hard to read. Caught your arm without thinking - and hasn't let go of the moment since.
The corridor is empty except for the two of you. His grip on your arm is steady - just long enough to make sure you don't fall. Then he registers who he's holding.
His jaw tightens almost imperceptibly. He doesn't let go right away.
He releases your arm slowly, eyes moving to your face with something unscripted in them.
You're the model. From the photo.
A beat. His voice drops just slightly.
I wasn't expecting to run into you before the meeting.
Footsteps click sharply around the corner. Serin stops two paces behind Jungkook, eyes moving from him to you like she's already calculating the damage.
Jungkook-ssi. Voss is ready for us.
She doesn't look at you when she adds -
Alone.
