ALLY TRIED TO STAY calmed as she walked around her apartment while fanning her face. "Hyerin, are you sure that's him? The Jeon guy you've been talking about? That means- He's Jungkook? The young CEO? " She couldn't believe it but she knew I wasn't lying because I never lied to anyone in my whole life. I was the innocent type of a person. She sat next to me then slightly slapped my right cheek.

"Ow! " I winched while holding my cheek. "What was that for? " I asked.

"To check if you're dreaming. Did you take drug or something? "

That was too much. "Enough, Ally. What's wrong with you? I know him. He's the guy who always wants me to make his coffee, Jeon. But I didn't expect that he's a successful CEO. "

"So he was the one who offered you to work with him and want to give you triple of your salary, right? But, you rejected him? "

"Yeah, " my voice trailed off after I remembered the moment I turned down his offer because I thought he was lying. I didn't know that he was rich and could afford to pay me that much.

Ally groaned, "You're stupid! " She complained. "No one ever rejects his offer."

I sobbed a bit. "I know, I was stupid. " I faked a cry. "What should I do now? I had turned down such a good offer that would literally change my whole life, " I complained about my endless stupidity.

Ally sighed as she sat next to me. "Maybe you can go to his company and talk to him. I bet he'll hire you. You said he loves your coffee. No one can make a nice coffee like you do so he'll definitely give you another chance. Believe me. " She suggested. It sounded great but I didn't think he'll accept me again.

"I heard that he's a fierce type of a person. Everyone fears him. He's very strict and don't like when anyone else try to play with him. He prefers to work in a cold environment. Are you sure the Jeon you met was Jungkook? Because the way you told me about him was absolutely the opposite. I don't think Jungkook the young fierce CEO would let you point your finger at him and even yelled at him. It was weird. " She stated.

I sighed then looked at the picture on the newspaper again. They're absolutely the same person. "I'm not sure, but what I know is, he will just stay quiet when he got his latte. He seems very firm and strict at some points. I even heard him scolding a couple of girls who tried to flirt with him. " I stated.

"Oh gosh, that means he's really Jungkook! Jeon Jungkook! Dammit, just go to his company and ask to work with him! " Ally clapped her hands excitedly.

I looked at her with a confused expression. "What makes you so sure about it? "

"Jeon Jungkook doesn't like cheap girls who flirt with random guys. He only likes a girl with standards! " She added.

"Now go, go to him and get your job again!"

Jungkook

I was chilling for 5 minutes until Chan suddenly barged into my office as I opened my eyes right away, thinking that it was the paparazzi. "Jungkook, " he said my name and sat in front of me. I was so lack of energy because I couldn't have my latte today. Today was very demotivated for me.

With a sigh being heaved, I looked at him weakly. "What is it, Chan? " I asked.

"Your parents. " He spoke. "They want you to bring your girlfriend. They want to meet her."

I wasn't surprised at a as I know my parents very well. "What girlfriend are they talking about? I don't have any. " I scoffed.

I heard Chan mumbling something before saying, "But they saw you with a girl. They want you to bring the girl to meet them. " This time, it shocked me.

"What?! " I snapped. Who was the girl they saw? As I remembered, the last girl I went out with was- Kim Sora. The model. But she wasn't my girlfriend. She wasn't even my type and I had never think to make her as my girlfriend. She was just a f**k partner because she gave herself up to everyone very easily.

"Who was it? " I asked.

"I don't know, probably Sora. "

Dammit, I don't even like Sora. I was so miserable and my parents decided to add more pressure on me. "Tell them I'm only 24. Stop forcing me to get married so soon. It's not drama that I have to get married before being a CEO. I'm already the CEO. What's wrong with them? " I held my head and massaged it by myself.

"But they want to see you getting married before they close their eyes. " They were talking about death. Yes, my parents are already old. That was why they kept asking me to get married.

I sighed. "I can consider about that but, I'm not going to marry Sora. She has slept with so many guys. " I rolled my eyes.

"But your parents want to meet her. I suggest you to just bring her to your parents because they'll definitely dislike her when they meet her. She looks like a socialize girl anyways. " Chan tried to give me a solution. It sounded good.

Smiling, I took my phone then dialed for someone's number. "Hello? Sora? "

The noon wasn't interesting to me. I didn't feel excited at all even when I was going to bring a girl that was well-called to be my girlfriend to meet my parents because I don't have feelings for her. Even Sora is a high class woman, she wasn't the woman with the standards I wanted. She didn't have the characteristics that I expected. Plus, she had slept with so many guys including a fat chubby old men. If she gets pregnant, I bet she won't even know who's the father.

Closing my eyes, I promised myself that it was going to be my last time to waste my time on such women like her. Sighing, I made my way into the restaurant.

My parents spotted me right away then they waved their hands to me. No, not my parents. It was only my mom who was waving to me because my dad was so busy with his phone; handling the business contract he still had with the Jung Company. "Hi, mom. " I smiled at her then sat across her. My dad finally realized that I was there so he ended the call.

"Hi, son. Where's the girl? " He asked. My dad was the only person who knew that I wasn't serious about my relationship with Sora because I wasn't the one who wanted to bring her here. If I really love the girl, I'll automatically bring her to my parents without being asked.

"Yes, kook. Where's your girlfriend? " My mom asked excitedly, making me to roll my eyes in annoyance. She didn't even deserve to be called as my girlfriend.

"Correction, mom. She's not my girlfriend. She's just a friend. " I blurted.

"She's not your girlfriend yet. " She added.

Suddenly, someone came to our table and sat beside me. "Sorry I'm late. " It was Sora. She just finished shooting for a new lipstick brand that was going to put her face as the cover of a magazine. "Hello Mr and Mrs Jeon. I'm Kim Sora, Jungkook's girl. " She giggled and shook her hands with my parents. I rolled my eyes at her actions. I saw my mom's face slightly changed but she shrugged it off when she saw that I was looking at her.

"So you're my kook's girlfriend? " My mom asked, very nicely.

Confidently, Sora nodded her head and cling her arm around mine. "Yeap, we love each other so much, " she told a lie. I couldn't understand what was going on in her mind. Trash.

We had been talking about an hour now and all of us had finished our meal except for Sera. She didn't eat anything. "Aren't you hungry, Sora? " My mom asked.

"No, I'm full. Besides I have already ate a whole bowl of salad before coming here. Taking care of my body is very important." She stated.

I looked at her. "I pity you for not getting to enjoy this delicious food. " I was actually moking her but she didn't get it.

"It's okay, babe. I'm fine with it. Thanks for your concern towards me. " She intentionally did that. She wanted my parents to think that I loved her.

I tried my best to stay calmed and just played along with her stupid conversations about expensive bags, branded lipsticks and her favourite luxury brands. What she didn't know was; my mom wasn't into fashion. She prefers cooking than fashion. But surprisingly, my mom just played along with the uninteresting topic that she started.

Rolling my eyes, I just stayed quiet while listening to her stupid words. Suddenly, she said something that made me felt triggered. "Anyways Mr and Mrs Jeon, I'd to say something that I think the both of you have to listen. " She looked at me then held my arm. I felt so bothered around her.

"What is it, Sora? " My mom asked.

Sora looked at me then locked her eyes with mine. I thought she was going to tell my parents that I had slept with her. My eyes enlarged and my heart suddenly beat so fast. No way. "I love Jungkook with all my heart, " she stated and gave us the smile she had practiced the whole time. Phew, fortunately.

"You- love our son? " My mom asked as she looked at my dad. "We've no problem with it. Instead, we're happy. But you've to ask Jungkook first. Does he have feelings for you? "

"Of course he is, right babe? " Sora looked at me very confidently. Just because I've slept with her, she thought I had feelings for her. How funny. "You're the first man ever I've confessed my feelings. Don't turn me down. "She told me.

I scoffed then looked at my parents. Confidently, I said, "I don't like her. "

We were in the car, in front of Sora's apartment. After telling her that I had no feelings for her in front of my parents, she went speechless and didn't say a word to me.

"No men ever rejects me, Jungkook. " She hissed. She still couldn't believe that I would say such thing that embarrassed her as a top model.

I looked at her casually, "Well, I did. "

She gritted her teeth in annoyance, hatred was shown in her eyes. "No men discard me, only I discard men, Jeon Jungkook! Remember that! " She got off from my car then slammed the door. How could she did that to my favourite Mercedes Benz?

I scoffed at how childish she reacted. I was rejected by a barista girl. She got rejected by me so she had to be grateful. I sighed then drove away from her apartment area.

Sora is insane.

Hyerin

I tried to avoid myself from showing up at the Jeons.co building since I was so embarrassed that I rejected his offer and now, I'm coming back for the exact same offer. It was so embarrassing and I tried a few of other interviews so that I won't end up here. But all of them rejected me; saying that I wasn't qualified enough for the work because I didn't have any diploma or degree certificate because I didn't go to any university. It was because my parents didn't have enough money to support me and a few years later, they passed away in a car accident.

It was sad to be a person named Kim Hyerin. I even had to humiliate myself by standing in front of the big company, not knowing what to do or where to go. I sighed.

Having no clue, I entered the air conditioned building as the cold wind gently hitting my skin. The building was so big and the inside part was bigger than what I imagined. It depicted that the Jungkook guy is a very successful person at such a young age. How lucky to be him.

I made my way towards the customer service where we could ask anything there. Hesitantly, I went to the tall girl since she seemed like the nicest person among the three of them. "Um- hi, there. " I greeted her and she looked at me.

She smiled, luckily. Or else, I would be looking like a stupid person. "Yes, miss? " She asked me while looking at my small figure.

When she made eyes contact with me, I gulped down my saliva, hesitant to speak the name of their chairman; Jeon Jungkook because they'd wonder; how could a primary girl like me could know a classy man like him. The chance of her trusting me was so thin. I could imagine her calling me insane. "Miss? Are you hearing me? " She waved her hand in front of my face. I finally focused on her again.

"Er- I'm here to meet your em, " I was still doubting to say his name. "Your- CEO. " I finally got the urge to say that even it took me a few moment.

She furrowed her eyebrows. "CEO? Which one? Mr J or Sir G? " She asked me. I was confused. Were there two CEOs? What's the difference between Mr J and Sir G?

But since Mr J sounded more relateable to Jeon Jungkook, I decided to say, "Mr J. " I was confident that it was his nickname since his name starts with J.

The girl looked down at her watch then said, "Have you made an appointment with him? No one can meet him without any appointments. " I gasped. Oh crap. Did I really have to make an appointment with him? But he was the one who offered me to work here.

"I haven't make any appointments with him but- please trust me. He knows me. Just say my name and he'll recognize me. I'm Kim Hyerin. " I said. The girl must think that I was crazy. How could their CEO knows a normal girl like me? But I was saying the truth.

She seemed like didn't believe me but since I begged her, she decided to call Mr J's assistant to ask him whether he knows me or not. I bet he'll know me. He said my name thrice. It was impossible for him to just forget me. The girl then looked at me and said, "Sorry Miss, Mr J said that he doesn't know you. "

I was flooded with shocked. What?

"Wait- but, he really knows me! Please please let me meet him. He was the one who wants to meet me. He offered me to work here, " I begged. "Please, I'm begging you. I have no work to do now and he's my only hope. I'm not lying please trust me. " I held her hands desperately.

Fortunately, he heard what I was saying. "Mr J asked you to wait for him at his office. But he's going to attend a meeting. Can you wait? " She asked.

I smiled gratefully. "Sure! "

Didn't expect that I had to wait for 4 hours, I heaved a sigh while watching the same advertisement of a brand new lipstick for the hundredth of times. My back hurt so much in the process of waiting for that Mr J to finally ask me to come in to his office. Is a meeting would take that long? It had been a freaking 4 hours!

I ain't complaining but it was too much. Gladly the couch was so comfortable that I could at least rest my hurting back. Finally, a girl came towards me and said, "Mr J is done with his meeting. You may meet him now. But he only has 10 minutes. Please make it quick. " She told me. I had to wait for 4 hours just to meet him for freaking 10 minutes. Such a sacrifice I had to do.

Nodding my head desperately, I followed the woman to his office. "Mr J, this is the girl. " She said once the both of us stepped into the office. Amazed by the surrounding of the office, I was absolutely in love with the view he had at his office. I was so getting into the nice view that I forgot I was going to meet the CEO.

"Hello, miss? I'm Jimin. May I know why you want to meet me? " I heard an unfamiliar voice talking to me and his name was definitely different from the person I wanted to meet. Jimin? Who's Jimin?

"Jimin? " I asked in confusion.

He nodded his head in such an elegant way. Even the way he nodded his head showed that he's rich. "Yes, Park Jimin. " He added.

I was frozen when he said his name. So he was the Mr J I was waiting for 4 hours? Did I mistakenly came to the wrong company? I blinked my eyes. "I- I want to meet someone else. The CEO, " I stuttered.

He looked at me sharply. Then, he furrowed his eyebrows. "Who? "

"Jeon. " I said, forgetting to say his full name instead of his family name.

"You mean Jungkook? "

"Yes! I want to meet Jungkook! " I nodded my head.

"Who said my name? " A voice behind me suddenly interrupted our conversation.
