Taehyung


When I arrived at Piaget's magnificent jubilation in Korea, the whole night sparkled with excitement. The location was a magnificent exhibition of elegance and enhancement perfect for the gathering of well-known personalities from the jewellery industry. I socialised with the visitors, engaging up conversations while taking in the breathtaking displays of jewels and diamonds.

I felt proud and motivated to be the CEO of Cartier to represent my company in front of the prominent jewellery merchants from all around Korea.

I moved through the throng, admiring the beautiful exhibits and striking up courteous conversations with other business executives. It was the ideal fusion of business and pleasure—a night of networking and celebration.

Amid the glitzy atmosphere, I noticed Mr. Choi, a respected and influential person in the jewellery industry. Seated behind him was his son, Choi Yeonjun, whose demeanour and character mirrored his background in show business.

Mr. Choi, a close friend of my father's in both personal and professional circles, was there. Mr. Choi oozed confidence and perfection and his elegant suit and refined look earned respect and admiration. I was one of the guests who adored him because of his kind smile and inviting personality.

Mr. Choi greeted me warmly as I walked up to him. "I'm glad to have you visit us. Your father talks excellently of you.

With gratitude, I grinned and felt comfortable in his company. " I'm grateful, Mr. Choi. Our family cherishes your connection with my father highly."

We had a polite discussion on potential projects and industry trends. Even though it was a formal situation, the relationship was lovely and professional because of the mutual respect and sense of camaraderie.

As the party carried on, I found that I really liked Mr. Choi's company, and his stories and insights brought a lighthearted touch to the proceedings. We spanned the gap between our personal and professional relationships as we laughed and told stories.

Mr. Choi once pointed to a gorgeous diamond necklace that was on exhibit. "I have to admit that Piaget's work is really beautiful. It makes me think of Cartier's artistic ability."

I nodded, understanding and respecting his keen sense of excellence. "Indeed, both brands set the standard for luxury and elegance."

Yeonjun entered the discussion with a cordial and amiable tone. "Cartier's legacy does, in fact, precede you. It's great to have you here with us tonight."

I couldn't help but be delighted as Yeonjun and I left Mr. Choi's group. Yeonjun was full of fascinating energy, and I was interested in getting to know his buddies.

"Let's go meet my friends," Yeonjun exclaimed, giving me a grin that matched his excitement.

He led me to a busy group of human beings, all of whom gave Yeonjun warm, kind greetings, and I gladly followed him. Yeonjun enthusiastically gave me an introduction, his words reflecting a sense of camaraderie and common experiences.

With a gesture towards the gathering, Yeonjun declared, "This is my friend group." "And this is Kim Taehyung, the CEO of Cartier."

We engaged up a discussion, telling one other facts and sharing our common enthusiasm of the jewellery industry as well as professional experiences. Making connections with like-minded people who were passionate about our craft was refreshing.

The bond between Yeonjun and the other guys was something I couldn't help but admire as the conversation went on. Their companionability and contagious humour made me feel comfortable being with them.

Yeonjun insisted on presenting me to "dad's princess," and I couldn't help but laugh at his enthusiasm. His infectious smile was contagious, and I was interested in meeting this fascinating person he talked so highly of.

"Hyung! Let me take you to dad's princess, you haven't met her yet," Yeonjun shouted, a playful gleam in his eyes.

Amused by his persistence, I nodded. Yeonjun described his "sister," describing her excellent artistic skills and academic achievements in exquisite detail as we wandered.

Yeonjun exclaimed, obviously pleased with her achievements, "She studied at Stanford University, is a graphic design virtuoso, and even has a certificate in jewellery design and gemology."

I was amazed by her broad spectrum of skills and academic achievements as I listened carefully. But as the list of honours went on, I couldn't help but feel a little overloaded with all of the information.

When I quipped, "Suddenly, I feel like I'm being quizzed on her resume," Yeonjun gave me a friendly poke.

"Hyung, don't worry, she's not intimidating at all". Yeonjun reassured me, "In fact, she's the sweetest person you'll ever meet."

I sighed quietly as we got closer to the group where "dad's princess" was. Meeting someone with such an outstanding resume fascinated me, but I was also a little nervous. Would she be as friendly and relatable as Yeonjun suggested?

With reaching his "dad's princess," Yeonjun spotted her from the crowd and said, "Jiah!"

I felt my heart skip a beat as She turned to face us. I was captivated not only by her physical beauty but also by the ease and elegance with which she held herself. Her magnetic aura immediately drew me in, drawing my attention to her commanding presence.

Her features were delicate and dreamy, akin to those of a doll. I was attracted by the depth of character that was reflected in her sparkling, kind, and intelligent eyes. Her smile lit up her face in a way that captivated me, and I couldn't help but stare.

But I became obsessed with more than merely how she looked. Her feminine silhouette was amplified by the way her white midi dress fit her curves in just the right places. She exuded elegance from head to toe as the dress flowed beautifully about her.

Her hair framed her face like a veil as it fell in gentle waves. She moved with grace and purpose in every motion, as though she knew how she affected others around her. Her beauty made it impossible to stay unenchanted.

I couldn't help but wonder at that very moment what it would be like to embrace her in my arms and dance the night away. She was not just gorgeous, but alluring in the best way possible. And I realised she had made a lasting effect on me as I stood there and observed her from a distance.

Yeonjun smiled and said, "Jiah, this is Kim Taehyung, the CEO of Cartier," snapping me out of my dream.

"It's a pleasure to meet you," Jiah offered her hand and said. Her generosity glittered in her eyes, and her fascinating charm drew me in.

"The pleasure is mine," I answered, trying to remain composed in the face of the unexpected emotional upheaval.

Fuck.
