Jin ah pov:

Today is the day. The important meeting between Jeon Enterprises and Kim Corporation is finally here. I wake up early, nerves and excitement churning in my stomach. This meeting could mean everything for Park Corporation-and for me.

As I get dressed, I choose a professional yet stylish outfit: a tailored black blazer, a crisp white blouse, and a pencil skirt that falls just below the knee. I pull my hair back into a sleek ponytail, hoping it will give me an air of confidence and competence. I glance in the mirror, taking a deep breath. "You can do this, Jin-ah," I tell myself.

I arrive at the office, the tension palpable as soon as I step inside. Everyone is on edge, preparing for the big meeting. Mr. Park Jimin calls me into his office for a final briefing.

"Jin-ah, are you ready?" he asks, his usually calm demeanor now tinged with stress.

"Yes, Mr. Park. I've reviewed all the documents and I feel prepared," I reply, trying to sound more confident than I feel.

"Good. Remember, this is crucial for us. Jeon and Kim are both powerhouses, and securing this deal will elevate Park Corporation to new heights. Don't let anything distract you."

I nod, understanding the weight of his words. "I won't let you down."

As I leave his office, I notice some employees from both Jeon Enterprises and Kim Corporation arriving. They gather in the conference room, their presence as a reminder of the high stakes involved. My heart pounds, but I push the nerves aside, focusing on the task at hand.

I enter the conference room, my heart pounding as I see Taehyung already seated at the head of the table. His mere presence sends a shiver down my spine, and I can feel his eyes boring into me as I take my seat. I try to ignore him, focusing instead on the task ahead.

Mr. Park nods at me, his expression serious. "Jin-ah, I need you to represent our company in today's meeting. You've prepared for this, and I have full confidence in you."

I swallow nervously but nod, steeling myself for what's to come. Standing up, I walk to the front of the room, feeling the weight of everyone's eyes on me, especially Taehyung's penetrating gaze.

As I begin the presentation, I try to block out everything else and focus solely on the task at hand. I speak confidently, explaining our proposals and strategies with clarity and precision.

Suddenly, Taehyung interjects with a pointed question, his voice cutting through the silence like a knife. "Jin-ah, how do you plan to address the issue of scalability in our proposed expansion?"

I take a moment to gather my thoughts, meeting his gaze head-on. "We've conducted thorough market research and analysis," I reply evenly, "and our strategy includes flexible frameworks that can adapt to changing demands."

His lips curl into a smirk, clearly unimpressed by my response. But before he can press further, Mr. Park intervenes, redirecting the conversation back to the main points of the presentation.

As the meeting progresses, I find myself fielding more questions, both from Taehyung and from Jeon, the representative from Jeon Enterprises. They challenge me at every turn, probing for weaknesses in our proposals and strategies.

But I refuse to falter. I answer each question with confidence and poise, determined to prove myself in the face of their scrutiny.

Finally, as the meeting comes to a close, I feel a sense of relief wash over me. I've done it. I've represented our company to the best of my ability, despite the distracting presence of Taehyung and the relentless questioning from Jeon.

As I gather my papers and prepare to leave, I can't help but steal a glance at Taehyung. Our eyes meet briefly, a silent challenge passing between us.

But then he looks away, the moment broken, and I realize that this is only the beginning. The battle between Jeon Enterprises and Kim Corporation is far from over, and I have a feeling that Taehyung will stop at nothing to come out on top.

With a steadying breath, I turn and leave the room, determined to face whatever challenges lie ahead.

As I return to my seat, I'm met with an unexpected sight. Everyone in the room is facing me, their expressions a mix of anticipation and appreciation. My heart skips a beat, a wave of apprehension washing over me.

But before I can utter a word, the room erupts in a cacophony of noise and color. Confetti fills the air, and balloons float lazily towards the ceiling. A chorus of cheers and applause fills the room, and I stand there in shock, unable to comprehend what's happening.

Mr. Park steps forward, a smile playing at the corners of his lips. "Jin-ah," he says, his voice warm with gratitude, "you've done an exceptional job today. Thanks to your hard work and dedication, we've achieved major success."

I blink in disbelief, the weight of his words sinking in. Is this real? Did I actually make a difference?

Jimin joins in, clapping me on the back with a grin. "You were amazing up there, Jin-ah," he says, his eyes shining with pride. "You exceeded all expectations, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome."

I feel a swell of emotion rising within me, a mixture of relief, pride, and gratitude. I may have doubted myself at times, but in this moment, I know that I've proven my worth.

As the celebrations continue around me, I allow myself to bask in the glow of their praise, feeling a sense of accomplishment wash over me. This is what I've been working towards, what I've been striving for all this time.

And as I look around at the faces of my colleagues, their smiles reflecting my own, I know that this is only the beginning. Together, we'll continue to strive for greatness, to push the boundaries of what's possible, and to achieve even greater success in the future.

But for now, I'll savor this moment, this feeling of triumph and victory. Because today, I proved to myself and to the world that I am capable of greatness.

As the celebrations begin to wind down, I find myself caught up in the joyous atmosphere, relishing the sense of accomplishment that fills the air. Laughter and chatter fill the room as my colleagues mingle and congratulate one another, their spirits lifted by the success of the meeting.

Amidst the festivities, I feel a tap on my shoulder, and I turn to see Mr. Park approaching me with a serious expression on his face. Instinctively, my heart skips a beat, a sense of apprehension creeping over me despite the jovial atmosphere surrounding us.

"I need to speak with you," Mr. Park says, his voice low but urgent.

My stomach churns with unease as I follow him to a quieter corner of the room, away from the prying eyes and eager conversations of our colleagues. I can't shake the feeling that something is wrong, that this moment of celebration is about to be overshadowed by a new challenge.

"What is it, Mr. Park?" I ask, trying to keep my voice steady despite the knot of anxiety tightening in my chest.

Mr. Park's expression is grave as he looks at me, his eyes betraying a hint of concern. "There's been an unexpected development," he begins, choosing his words carefully. "It seems that there's an issue at Kim Enterprises that requires our immediate attention."

My heart sinks at his words, a sense of foreboding settling over me like a dark cloud. Kim Enterprises-the mention of Taehyung's company sends a shiver down my spine, reminding me of our tumultuous history and the unresolved tensions between us.

"What kind of issue?" I ask, my voice barely above a whisper as I brace myself for the answer.

Mr. Park hesitates for a moment before responding, his expression grim. "It's unclear at this point, but it seems serious," he explains. "They've requested our assistance, and I believe you're the best person for the job."

My mind races as I process his words, my thoughts swirling with apprehension and uncertainty. Kim Enterprises-I hadn't expected to be confronted with Taehyung so soon after our encounter at the meeting, and the prospect fills me with a sense of unease.

But even as doubt gnaws at me, I know that I can't back down now. Whatever the issue may be, I owe it to my company-and to myself-to face it head-on, to prove once again that I'm capable of rising to the occasion.

Taking a deep breath to steady my nerves, I nod resolutely at Mr. Park. "I understand, sir," I say, my voice steady despite the turmoil raging inside me. "I'll go to Kim Enterprises right away."

Mr. Park nods in approval, a hint of gratitude flickering in his eyes. "Thank you, Jin-ah," he says, his voice filled with sincerity. "I know I can count on you to handle this with the utmost professionalism."

With a determined nod, I turn to leave, steeling myself for the challenges that lie ahead. Whatever awaits me at Kim Enterprises, I know that I'll face it with courage and resolve, ready to confront the past and pave the way for a brighter future.
