"It's absolutely hideous!"

Amelia shuddered, staring at the monstrosity on the conference table.

"Who would want to wear this?"

Jin gingerly picked up the mustard yellow leather boot with his thumb and index finger.

"I wouldn't be caught dead in this dreadful thing," he grumbled.

"Dead or alive, we need to sell this!" Mr.Kang, their boss, discerned gravely.

"You've got to be kidding me!"

Another person exclaimed in disbelief.

"I'm dead serious, guys." The boss said with a poker face. "Kim Enterprise is willing to pay millions for the right campaign to sell this," He pricked the boot with his finger. "We must win this account at all costs!"

"I'm dividing you into three groups." The boss examined each member of the team. "By Monday afternoon, each team should have their presentation ready."

The boss ignored the collective groans and continued on his way.

"The best part is that the winning team will receive a fully paid vacation to Hawaii the following weekend, courtesy of the company."

That cheered up the team.

Yoongi, on the other hand, was unimpressed to learn that the boss had assigned Hoseok and him to the same team.

He's not prejudiced and has nothing against the tall, attractive man. It's just that he'd worked with Hoseok for a few weeks and discovered that the man is extremely distracting. Yoongi had reservations about the tall man even after they had settled their differences.

When Hoseok is present, Yoongi will muck things up. And he's always nearby, almost hovering over Yoongi.

He's caring and attentive, always reminding Yoongi's assistant to buy his lunch on time. He even offers to drop Yoongi off after work at his house, which is only a few blocks away.

It completely perplexed him. He was convinced at first that Hoseok was hitting on him. Yoongi braced himself, ready to say no if Hoseok asked him out.

Hoseok isn't unattractive in any way. It's the polar opposite. If Yoongi may say so, he's sexy on legs. Everyone is already smitten with the new member of the creative team. Yoongi was moved by his appearance as well.

Despite his heart's desire and his body's yearning, Yoongi is not ready to date. He's just not ready to risk his heart just yet.

He once lost everything. He's still recovering.

But Hoseok is tenacious. And Yoongi finds it difficult to resist his enticements. He's not looking forward to collaborating with the man.
