Closer Than This...(vsoo)

The moment Taehyung and Jisoo arrived at his mother's home, Jisoo was struck by the warmth and openness that seemed to embrace them.

The mansion was grand, yet there was a welcoming aura that made it feel like home. A soft fragrance of flowers lingered in the air, and the house was beautifully decorated, reflecting a sense of refinement and comfort.

As soon as they walked in, Taehyung's mother, a kind and elegant woman, greeted them with a warm smile. "Taehyung, Jisoo," she said, her voice gentle yet firm, as she hugged her son first, then turned to Jisoo.

"It's so wonderful to finally meet you, dear." She embraced Jisoo, and for the first time, Jisoo felt the overwhelming sense of belonging, despite the tension that had been simmering between her and Taehyung in recent days.

"Thank you, Mrs. Kim," Jisoo replied softly, a smile gracing her lips as she met the older woman's eyes.

Jisoo was beginning to feel more at ease when she heard a voice from behind. "Well, well, look who finally decided to show up!"

Taehyung's stepsister, a stunning actress in her late twenties, walked in with a playful smile on her face. Roseanne Park.

Long, blonde hair framed her face perfectly, and her style was effortlessly chic. She was dressed in a fashionable yet simple outfit, and despite her busy schedule, she managed to exude confidence and grace.

Jisoo blinked in surprise but returned her greeting, "Hi, I'm Jisoo. Nice to meet you."

The actress, who had starred in several high-profile dramas, gave her a once-over and grinned. "I've heard so much about you from my brother. It's nice to finally meet the woman who managed to capture his attention," she teased, her tone lighthearted but warm.

Taehyung rolled his eyes, but there was a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. "Don't listen to her. She's always like this."

Jisoo laughed softly, not quite sure how to respond, but Taehyung's stepsister didn't let the moment pass without furthering the conversation. "I also have a shoot scheduled with Bliss next month. Isn't it amazing! I hope we can work together soon."

Jisoo nodded, feeling a bit overwhelmed but grateful for the welcome. She could tell there was no ill intention, just a playful teasing between family members.

"Well, it's a bit early for me, but I'd love to work with you," Jisoo replied, her voice steady though her heart was fluttering with the sudden change in atmosphere.

At that moment, Jisoo's eyes were drawn to Taehyung's stepfather, who had just entered the room. He was a tall, imposing figure, with a warm smile that seemed to light up his face as he approached.

"Jisoo, it's a pleasure to meet you," he said, offering her a handshake before pulling her into a hug. "I've heard wonderful things about you from Taehyung. I'm so glad you both could make it today."

Jisoo felt her heart swell with gratitude as she shook his hand. The family dynamic was much more relaxed and welcoming than she had anticipated.

She had prepared herself for the formality and stiffness she often associated with wealthy families, but what she was witnessing was entirely different.

As the family gathered together in the living room, Jisoo was struck by the easy camaraderie that seemed to flow between them. There was laughter, light teasing, and an undeniable sense of closeness.

Even though she was still adjusting to her new role within this family, she couldn't help but feel a sense of belonging, something she hadn't experienced much in her life.
