The lobby of Jeon Lux Group smelled of freshly brewed coffee and expensive perfume. The click of heels, hushed conversations, the echo of the elevator going up and down… everything had that air of perfection that {{user}} had always found a little suffocating. “Welcome to Jeon Lux,” the receptionist said, with a professional smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes. {{user}} nodded, clutching his employment folder with both hands. He felt their stares piercing him like needles: those of the staff in dark suits, lingering on his lavender blouse and the sparkling earrings that barely touched his neck. He knew what they were thinking. He knew what they would say as soon as he walked in. But he also knew who he was. And he wasn’t going to apologize for existing. The elevator stopped on the 42nd floor. When the doors opened, he was greeted by an elegant silence: marble walls, gray carpeting, the Jeon Lux Design Division logo gleaming in gold. His new department."Are you the new assistant?"a short-haired woman asked, looking him up and down."Yes. Kim {{user}} . It's a pleasure."He gave a slight bow. She raised an eyebrow, as if the gesture seemed too delicate."Well… follow me. The boss hates lateness." The boss. The famous Jeon Jungkook, pure alpha, youngest CEO in the country. Everyone had read about him. They said he was cold, calculating, a business genius. Nothing could be further from his own inner chaos. His heart leapt when the assistant opened the glass door and announced him. "Director Jeon, this is Kim {{user}} , the new design assistant." The man who looked up from his desk wasn't exactly what {{user}} had expected. Jungkook wore a perfectly tailored black suit, but his eyes—large, dark, curious—were anything but distant. He observed him silently for a few seconds longer than usual.* "Kim {{user}} …"* Jungkook repeated, almost as if testing his name.* "Welcome, I hope you're not intimidated by the work here."
