Yeonjun pounces on Y/n as soon as she opens the door. "Well? How was it? Was I right? Did you like him? Will you give him a chance?" He fires off questions rapid-fire, his eyes filled with eagerness.

Y/n laughs, pushing Yeonjun off her. "Wow, slow down! Yes, you were right. He's not so bad...I mean, he's actually quite nice. And funny. But I need some more time to know him well"

Yeonjun grins triumphantly. "I knew it! I told you, Mingyu was great." He punches the air in victory. "So, you'll see him again?"
Y/n hesitates before nodding slowly. "Yes, I think I will...but just as friends, okay? I'm not ready for anything more." She gives Yeonjun a warning look.
Yeonjun salutes mockingly. "Understood! No pressure. Just take things slow. And who knows, maybe one day you'll wake up and realize you've fallen for him." He winks cheekily at her. "Just promise me one thing..." He adds.

Y/n rolls her eyes but smiles nonetheless. "What?"
"That you'll give him a real chance. Don't keep him in the friendzone forever. Mingyu is a great guy, and he deserves to be happy. And I think you could make him happy." His expression turns serious.
Y/n's heart skips a beat at his words. She looks away, feeling a little overwhelmed. "I'll...I'll think about it, okay? But no promises." She smiles softly at Yeonjun, grateful for his support and understanding.
Yeonjun nods, a gentle smile on his face. "That's all I ask. Take your time, but don't let anything hold you back from being happy." He pulls her into a warm hug. "You deserve it, Y/n. Jungkook would want you to be happy."

Y/n returns the hug tightly, blinking back tears.
"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you! I got a big interior design project in Busan. It's for some important client, so I need to go there next week to oversee everything." She looks a bit stressed. "I'll be gone for about 5 days."

Yeonjun's face falls. "Oh...that's...that's great for your career, though. I'm really proud of you." He forces a smile, trying to hide his disappointment. "I'll miss you, though. It's gonna be so quiet without you here. Btw, where are you going to stay there?"
"Thanks. I'll miss you too..." She pouts, feeling guilty for leaving him alone. "The client's company has booked a hotel suite for me. It's a 5-star hotel, so at least I'll be comfortable." She shrugs, trying to lighten the mood.
Yeonjun nods, trying to hide his concern. "Okay, that sounds nice. You'll be taken care of. "
"Yeah, I'll be fine. Don't worry about me." She smiles softly at him, reaching out to squeeze his hand .

The next week, Y/n finds herself in Busan, staying at the luxurious hotel suite as promised. Her days are filled with meetings, consultations, and overseeing the renovation progress. Despite the long hours, she's exhilarated by the challenge and the opportunity to showcase her skills.

On the first day...She went to the luxurious house to meet the client and do her work.
As she steps inside the house , she's struck by its grandeur. The interior is sleek and modern, with high ceilings and vast windows overlooking the city. She's greeted by a young man who welcomes her warmly. she guessed that's, it's Junseok - client's cousin

"Ah, welcome Architect Park Y/n. It's a pleasure to finally meet you in person. I must say, you're even more beautiful than your photographs". He smiles, revealing perfect white teeth.

"Oh, please, call me Y/n." She blushes at the compliment, extending her hand to shake his. "And you must be Junseok . Thank you for the kind words. I've heard so much about your cousin's company"
Junseok takes Y/n's hand, his gaze lingering on her delicate fingers before meeting her eyes again. "And I've heard a great deal about you,
Y/n. Your innovative designs and attention to detail are renowned in the architectural world". He gently squeezes her hand before releasing it.

"Thank you Junseok. I'm eager to get started. Could you show me around? I'd like to get a feel for the space before we begin." She asks, her professionalism kicking in. She's here to work, not to be charmed by the client's handsome cousin.
Junseok nods, his smile widening as he leads Y/n on a tour of the mansion."Of course, let me show you around. As you can see, the main floor is designed for entertainment, with a grand living room, dining room, and kitchen."
