As Taehyung entered the conference hall, the large double doors swung open with a dramatic.
dshhh...
Flashes burst like fireworks the moment Kim Taehyung entered into the conference hall. Every camera turned toward him, capturing his every stride with intense curiosity.
Meanwhile, back at Sooyaa's house, the entire family was gathered in front of the television, watching the press conference.
Minjae sat cross-legged on the floor, a bag of chips forgotten in his lap.
"Ohhh! He's the CEO? I swear I've seen him somewhere before… I just can't remember where."
Sooyaa's mother, folding laundry beside him, glanced up at the screen and let out a little hum of appreciation.
"He's handsome… and so young too."
Sooyaa's father nodded in agreement, sipping his tea. "You're right."
Minjae narrowed his eyes, studying Taehyung's face on the screen. Then, confidently, he said, "Hmm. He's handsome like me. We both look the same."
His mother shot him a sharp look. "Are you serious right now?"
Back at the conference, the microphones picked up Taehyung's deep, composed voice.
"I'm Kim Tae hyung… the CEO of Starx Company."
Sooyaa and Kang Hye-jin sat in front of the computer screen, eyes glued to the live stream of the press conference. The resolution was sharp, and so were the visuals.
Sooyaa leaned back with a grin. "Ohhh… they both look magnificent today."
Hye-jin raised an eyebrow, not taking her eyes off the screen.
Sooyaa smirked and leaned closer,
lowering her voice as she moved toward Hye-jin's ear and whispered.
"Now I get why he says, No one is as charming as I am."
Hye-jin jolted and turned to her, cheeks flushing. "Stop it, Sooyaa! Don't tease me like that!"
"Okay, okay, sorry!" Sooyaa laughed, raising her hands in surrender, but clearly enjoying herself.
Just then, one of the coworkers behind them pointed at the screen. "Guys, look at the live chat!"
Curious, both Sooyaa and Hye-jin leaned in.
The chat was flooded:
"OHHH WOW, THEY BOTH LOOK DAMN HANDSOME!"
"I WANT HIM!! CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME THIS PERSON??"
"HOW CAN SOMEONE BE THIS HANDSOME?!"
Sooyaa burst out laughing. "What is happening to people?!"
Then Hye-jin sees another chat "sooyaa... sooyaa see this one"
Comment:
"CAN SOMEONE CALL 911, I THINK I'M HAVING AN HEART ATTACK"
Hye-jin clutched her stomach as she laughed with her. "It's like everyone collectively lost their minds!"
They were still giggling when the atmosphere on screen shifted. Kim Taehyung stepped forward, standing tall behind the podium. The lights dimmed slightly, and the murmurs in the conference hall died down.
Instantly, Sooyaa and Hye-jin's laughter faded, their attention snapping back to the screen.
Kim tae hyung spoke with warm tone "So today, I am officially announcing that the company is now under my direct leadership. And under my direction, Starx will rise again stronger and more powerful, reclaiming its former glory."
"We have already begun working on several major projects, which I will be announcing today. First, we are opening a new branch of our mall in Seoul one that will be the largest in the country. It will feature a wide range of brand products, offering an unmatched shopping experience.
Secondly, for our coffee brand, we are launching an entirely new variety of coffee that we believe will set a new standard in the industry."
Kim taehyung spoke without any hesitation
Radiating pure confidence.
The reporters paused for a second, stunned by his words. Then, as if snapping back to their senses, the room buzzed to life again.
Then a reporter from a well-known business magazine was the first to speak.
"Mr. Kim, congratulations on officially becoming CEO of Starx. Firstly, I must say you are really handsome and also you know there are rumours of mergers what do you think about that?"
Kim Taehyung offered a polite smile.
"Thank you," he said, voice warm. "I truly appreciate the compliment and you certainly have a good eye for handsome people."
the room filled with light laughter.
He paused, then folded his hands on the podium, expression shifting back to business.
"As for the rumours of mergers or acquisitions," he continued, tone firm but courteous, "Starx is currently focused on organic growth through our announced projects. We have no plans to pursue any mergers at this time."
He nodded to the press. " hmmm yeah, that's it Nothing more. Thank you for understanding."
Another reporter stood up, eyes narrowed with curiosity.
"Mr. Kim, if you don't mind me asking… why were you appointed as the CEO of Starx? You're so young. Is there a particular reason? Only the heir of the company can become CEO at such a young age? How could you be?"
A heavy silence fell across the room. The reporters leaned forward. Even in the office, Sooyaa and Kang Hye-jin were glued to the screen, both holding their breath.
How would he respond?
Kim Taehyung let out a quiet sigh. He looked around the room, then slowly leaned toward the microphone.
"It seems I need to make another official announcement," he said, his tone calm but powerful.
"I am not just the CEO of Starx Company…" He paused for a beat.
"…but also the heir of Starx Company."
The room exploded.
Cameras flashed wildly. Reporters stood up all at once, voices overlapping.
"The heir of Starx?!"
"Did he just say he's the legal successor?!"
"Heir to the entire Starx legacy?"
Kim Taehyung remained composed amidst the chaos.
"Yes," he said, clearly and confidently.
"I am the legal successor of entire Starx legacy."

Author (Skk)
Writing this chapter felt like watching a real press conference unfold in front of my eyes. Kim Taehyung's calm confidence, the chaos of reporters, and the unexpected heir reveal it all gave me goosebumps while writing!
I loved adding a touch of humor through Sooyaa's family and the wild live chat reactions because let's be honest, if someone like Taehyung appeared on our screens, we'd all lose our minds too!
There's so much more coming, including secrets, mystery, and maybe… a bit of heartache. But for now, thank you for reading, and I hope you felt every beat of this moment just as I did while writing it.
Stay tuned,
