The soft morning light filtered through the curtains as Taehyung stirred awake. He glanced at the clock - 6:30 AM. Beside him, Lisa was still fast asleep, her long hair splayed across the pillow. He smiled softly, admiring how peaceful she looked.

Carefully, Taehyung slipped out of bed, trying not to wake her. He had an early meeting, but he wanted to make sure Lisa had breakfast before her classes. As he prepared coffee in the kitchen, he heard a loud thump followed by a muffled "Ow!"

Taehyung chuckled to himself. "Lisa? You okay in there?"

"I'm fine!" came the response, though her voice suggested otherwise.

He walked back to the bedroom to find Lisa tangled in the sheets on the floor. "Good morning, troublemaker," he said, helping her up.

Lisa pouted, rubbing her elbow. "The bed attacked me."

Taehyung couldn't help but laugh, pulling her into a gentle embrace. "Of course it did. Come on, I made coffee."

In the kitchen, Lisa perched on a stool, watching Taehyung prepare breakfast. "Don't you have that big meeting today?" she asked, sipping her coffee.

He nodded, flipping a pancake. "I do, but I wanted to make sure you ate before your exam."

Lisa's eyes widened. "Oh no, I forgot about the exam!"

Taehyung raised an eyebrow. "The one you've been studying for all week?"

"That's the one," Lisa groaned, dropping her head to the counter.

Taehyung placed a plate in front of her and lifted her chin. "Hey, you've got this. You're brilliant, even if you are a little forgetful sometimes."

Lisa smiled, leaning in to kiss him. "What would I do without you?"

"Probably sleep through your alarm and miss the exam entirely," he teased.

As they ate breakfast together, Taehyung marveled at how Lisa could make him feel so at ease. His work life was all about control and precision, but with her, he could relax and enjoy the little moments of chaos she brought to his world.

"I love you," he said softly, reaching across the table to take her hand.

Lisa beamed at him. "I love you too, my calm, collected CEO."

After breakfast, Taehyung began clearing the dishes while Lisa rushed to get ready for her exam. He heard a series of crashes from the bathroom, followed by Lisa's frustrated groan.

"Everything alright in there?" he called out, unable to hide the amusement in his voice.

"Just peachy!" Lisa replied, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "I knocked over all my makeup. Why do I have so much stuff?"

Taehyung chuckled, making his way to the bathroom. He found Lisa on her knees, frantically gathering scattered cosmetics. Her hair was a mess, and she had toothpaste on her chin.

"Here, let me help," he said, kneeling beside her.

As they picked up the items together, their hands brushed. Taehyung paused, looking into Lisa's eyes. Despite the chaos around them, he felt a moment of perfect calm. Unable to resist, he leaned in and kissed her softly.

Lisa melted into the kiss, forgetting about the mess and her impending exam. When they finally pulled apart, she giggled. "You have toothpaste on your lip now."
