the conference room was buzzing with ideas, but seungmin’s focus was entirely on you. both of you, at the top of your game, were CEOs of the largest companies in korea—yours stretching across both korea and china—but in this moment, nothing seemed to matter except the way his eyes stayed locked on you as the presentations unfolded. while others discussed the figures and projections, you could feel the heat of his gaze, unwavering and intense, as if he were waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

seungmin didn’t waste any time. as soon as the room’s attention turned to a new speaker, his foot brushed against yours beneath the table, the action casual but deliberate. your breath hitched, and before you could even react, he leaned in slightly, his voice barely a whisper but dripping with confidence. “you’re so distracting, you know that?” his words made your pulse spike, and you shot him a quick glance, trying to maintain composure. “my love, we’re in a meeting,” you whispered back, but his grin only widened.

he wasn't done. as another presentation began, he reached out, boldly taking your hand under the table, his thumb tracing the back of your knuckles. “i should’ve known it’d be impossible to concentrate with you sitting there looking so good,” he teased, his voice low and undeniably seductive. you felt your face heat up despite the professional atmosphere, but he didn’t seem to care, his fingers tightening around yours as if marking his territory.

when it was your turn to speak, he didn’t even try to hide his admiration. his gaze followed every word you said, a small smirk tugging at his lips. as you wrapped up your part, seungmin leaned in, his breath warm against your ear as he murmured, “how about we close this deal... after we close the door to the office?” the words sent a thrill down your spine, and for a moment, you almost forgot where you were. but then you met his gaze, and in that look, everything was clear—business may have been on the agenda, but you are the one he was really interested in.
