"You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress simultaneously."

"What?!" Yoongi yelled before furiously clicking away at this computer. He had received a message just now from the artist who yesterday had agreed with having a meeting but suddenly changed their minds this morning.

He grabbed his hair in frustration and wondered why they would just out of the blue decline him.

"Ugh! Are they playing hard to get or something?!" He yelled before quickly getting up to pace around his office to calm down.

Things seemed to be getting worse for the project that he was trying so hard to make successful. None of it was going his way.

Especially after hearing that many of his models quit and left to work with LY. It was obvious that they didn't like working here and they would rather work somewhere that was more successful.

Yoongi didn't need the extra stress and he still needed to deal with Joy. He stopped pacing and let his eyes trail towards his door, knowing that you were at your desk working away.

He still needed to talk to you about what happened but, he didn't know how to approach you about it.

Truth be told he wasn't the kind of person to talk about people's feelings, he didn't even talk about his own. Yet he felt like he owed it to you.

Out of curiosity, he walked over to his curtains to take a peek at you. You were busy typing away on your computer before noticing that one of your plants on your desk wasn't in direct sunlight. You reached over to slide the pot over a bit so that they were getting the sunlight that they needed before noticing that someone was watching you.

Before you could look over to see if that was true, Yoongi had already closed the curtains and hid.

His heart was racing at the fact that he was nearly caught looking at you.

"...why are you so nervous? Just go and talk to her" he reassured himself. Building up the courage to finally get out and talk to you, he grabbed the handle and was ready to open until he chickened out.

"Agh! What am I doing?! I shouldn't be scared- people are scared of me!" Breathing in, he tried to do it again.

"Just get out there, ask her if she was okay and tell her you'll sort Sooyoung out...easy..." Gulping hard, he once again grabbed the door handle and this time opened the door.

"Hello, Miss L/N, I was wondering where you-" Yoongi stopped when he realised that you were gone.

Your stuff was packed away, showing that you had went off to lunch.

It seemed as though the CEO was too late and worried for nothing.

Reaching up to the back of his neck, he felt almost embarrassed that he got himself so riled up for nothing.

He still needed to talk to you but he needed it to be natural... and for that to happen, he needed to get closer to you.

Suddenly, he got an idea.

----------------------cafeteria----------------------

Awkward silence filled the table as everyone ate silently while trying not to stare at the elephant in the room.

Jimin couldn't handle it anymore and began to choke on his food.

"Are you okay?"

"Here's water" you passed your water bottle to the blonde who took it gratefully.

The reason why the atmosphere was so different today was because of the person sitting next to you.

Looking up, you saw him still staring at you and you quickly looked away.

"...so...Nice air conditioned weather we are having- ow!" Taehyung yelped in pain once Jimin hit his arm.

"What are you doing?!" The makeup artist whispered at Taehyung who in return glared at him.

Hoseok sat on the other side of you and was making sure to keep an eye on his boss who was continuing his staring right at you.

He didn't like how uncomfortable he made you feel.

You, however, were trying to understand what the hell was going on.

Yoongi coming down to eat with you because he forgot to order his food? Seemed like a weird reason when he sat down with his tray empty.

It felt more like he came down to keep an eye on you. Literally.

"So what is the CEO of Facless doing here?" Hoseok urged for the raven haired to explain.

Yoongi averted his eyes and cleared his throat, trying to make it not obvious why he had came down.

"I already said. I forgot to order food so I'm using my own company's cafeteria. Is that so bad?" He retaliated. It was getting harder to enjoy your meal with such tensions in the air.

The masked male noticed this.

"...here, order whatever you want from the secret menu" the CEO sighed nonchalantly while throwing out his golden company card.

Both Taehyung and Jimin widened their eyes at the card.

"Wait, we have a secret menu?!"

"Don't question it- let's go order for us!" While the two of them ran off like excited children, you could know have a wider view of the cafeteria.

Everyone was looking at your table.

Why wouldn't they? Their CEO has never came down to the cafeteria, nevermind actually sit at the tables.

And ofcourse, they came to the conclusion that it has something to do with you.

Both of the men on either side of you noticed your change in behaviour and both wanted to help.

"Want to go eat somewhere else?"

"Want me tell them all to leave?" Both Hoseok and Yoongi asked at the same time, making them raise a brow at eachother. It was pretty obvious who said what.

"I'm okay... I just need to ignore them" you reassured both of them and in return, Hoseok felt annoyed at Yoongi while the masked CEO felt guilty.

Thankfully, the troublesome duo had returned back with plates of food and dessert.

"They had tirimasu this whole time?!"

"Hobi, I got you sashimi~" the table was now filled with new and expensive food that you had never seen on the menu before.

The perks of owning a golden card you guessed.

While you were busy trying to take it all in, Hoseok had placed a bowl of glazed strawberries in front of you.

"I heard it's good for the skin" he sent a small smile your way and you noticed the knowingful look in his eyes. You could tell he had done some research beforehand about how to help with your burns.

His gesture was heartwarming and you accepted the strawberries with a wide smile while thanking him in the process.

However, Yoongi didn't like to see that at all.

"Here, you look tired these days" he stated while sliding over a plate of omelettes your way. Unsure of what to say, you could only nod your gratitude and take the plate.

Hoseok wasn't stupid, he knew what Yoongi was trying to do.

Fortunately for you, the bell had went off to signal the end of lunch.

"It was nice eating with you guys!" You exclaimed while standing before dashing off to leave the awkward table.

The others watched as you ran off before looking at eachother with perplexed looks and they simply parted ways while coughing awkwardly.

Yoongi was following after you and obviously would be taking the same lift up to where you both had to go.

You could spot him coming towards you in the corner of your eye and you prayed that he wouldn't talk to you.

It wasn't because that you didn't want to have a conversation with him, it was the fact that he may ask why you had ran off home yesterday.

You still had no reason to tell him- well, one that seemed believable.

Would he believe you that the closest person he trusted had treated you so badly?

You didn't want him to get the wrong idea about you and you didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble when he was already stressed about work.

The lift arrived and you quickly got inside before vigorously pressing the close doors button.

However, luck was not on your side as the masked CEO had entered in the nick of time.

Even though you were devastated, you had to smile like there was no worries.

Yoongi was too busy trying to figure out how to smoothly talk to you about yesterday and didn't notice your fake smile.

The doors closed and the lift began making its way up to the Shadow floor.

You kept your gaze on the floor number and hoped it would go faster while Yoongi hoped it would slow down so that he could have more time to think.

You then noticed how the lift didn't shake this time either.

"Is the lift fixed?" You asked without thinking and then immediately regretting it once you realised that you were the one who started a conversation.

"Is it? It shook this morning though..." Yoongi added, looking around for any changes.

"Ah, yeah it shook this morning for me as well..." the conversation died down and thankfully for you, the lift had reached the shadow floor and opened the doors for you to leave.

"It was nice eating with you, sir" you bowed slightly and swiftly made your way to your desk.

Now in panic mode, Yoongi tried to run after and stop you.

"Miss L/N! I just err, need to talk to you about what happened yesterday-"

"Yoongi? Ah, you're finally here!" His office door slammed open as soon as he spoke to reveal a slightly familiar woman that you had seen before.

"Mother?!" He exclaimed in disbelief. The short haired woman ran over to hug her son who was quick to dodge her and instead she was hurt by it.

"I waited for you all this time and you won't hug me?" The male glared at her before lowering his voice.

"I never asked for you to come so go" he threatened, being absolutely serious about this.

Ms. Min sulked and crossed her arms.

"You promised to go shopping with me if I left early last time...are you going back on your word?" She watched as her son rolled his eyes and pinch the bridge of his nose in irritation.

"I don't have time to play with you, I have real work to do and a deadline-"

"Oh, then you wouldn't mind if I take your assistant instead then?" He was taken aback at her suggestion and looked over at you momentarily.

You then realised she was talking about you.

"...oh, me?! Oh no, I couldn't possibly-" suddenly, you saw this as your great opportunity to escape from explaining to Yoongi what happened yesterday.

"Actually, that would be an honour!" You began to log off and get ready to leave while Yoongi stood there in pure shock.

"What?!"

"Oh splendid! I'll call my driver to come and collect us!" Ms. Min walked off to the side to call her driver.

"Miss L/N, what are you doing?" The masked man needed answers as to why you were so eager to go with a person such as his mother.

"I'll entertain her while you get some work done" you replied simply after grabbing your bag and phone and began making your way round the desk to join his mother.

She was done with her call and turned around to show the biggest smile you had ever seen.

"He's on his way! Let's go down!" Yoongi watched with bewilderment as you and his mother waited in front of the lift.

Biting his lip anxiously behind his mask, the raven haired man tried to think of a solution to stop all of this but the one thing he didn't want was to leave you with his dramatic mother.

"...tell your driver to not come" both of you looked back to see Yoongi taking out his keys and budging in-between the two of you.

While you were confused as to what was happening, his mother was ecstatic.

"So you are coming! I'll call to cancel then!" Furrowing your brows quizzically, you looked up at your boss who was staring blankly ahead and sighing to himself at the possible mistake he made.

You too looked forward and tried to imagine of what is to come in the future.

-----------------Shopping mall-------------------

"What do you think?"

"That colour suits you well! Maybe a blue bag would match?"

"Ooh, you're so right! You should have introduced me to your assistant sooner, Yoongi, she knows what she's talking about" you smiled in thanks for the compliment and watched as she made her way back in to the dressing room after putting on a white summer dress.

It was now 7PM.
Yes, Ms. Min loved to shop.

She treated you to some snacks and beverages thankfully and she wasn't dragging you around everywhere as she took her time.

You were standing and looking around at the nearby accessories, trying to see what would go well on Ms. Min while Yoongi sat on the white leather couch of the store in front of the changing rooms.

He had his arms crossed and a leg over the other. The CEO would rather be working away in his office than follow his mother around shopping.

He was fortunate enough to have Joy around to keep his mother busy while he was working but his mother was set on spending more time with him recently.

Even though he detested this outing so much, he couldn't just let you suffer with his mother because of him.

"Alright! I'm all done. I'd like to purchase all of this please" Ms. Min passed the basket of clothes to the store worker who took it and went to go pack them for her.

"Finally" Yoongi breathed out while standing to leave.

Just as you were about to go with them to the register, a specific summer dress had caught your eye.

It was simple but that's all you ever wished to wear. All of the clothes that Ms. Min had picked out were very extravagant and nothing like your clothes back home.

You didn't have any desire to wear such expensive, beautiful outfits. Just simple and normal.

Ms. Min looked around for you to see you were still at the same place while looking at the green dress.

Pursing her lips in thought, she wanted to test something.

"...actually, can we try one more dress?"

"Of course! I'll pack these for you still" she smiled and walked over to you to get a closer look.

"It's a pretty dress" her voice surprised you but once you processed her question, you nodded shyly.

"Oh, err, yeah it's pretty... way too simple for you though, Ms. Min" the mother raised a brow in amusement.

"...you should go try it on" taken aback, you were unsure if you had misheard her.

"Sorry?" She didn't wait another second as she grabbed the dress off the rack and pushed you towards the changing rooms.

"Come on! You've been watching me all this time, it's your turn now!"

"Wha- no! It's really okay!- woah!" It was too late as you were already shoved in to the room.

Yoongi had just arrived back once he realised how long you two were taking to pay.

"What's taking so long-...Where's Miss L/N?" He asked once he didn't see you around.

"Hm? Oh just sit here and wait, she said she'll be out in a second" this confused him but, he decided to wait anyway.

As time passed, he began to worry for you.

"Where is she? What have you done to her?" His mother laughed.

"Oh my, I've never seen you get so worked up over someone- oh! She's ready!" Wondering what she had meant, he turned round to see the curtains opening up.

You came round the corner slowly, too shy to make a sudden appearance in your new attire.

Your eyes were casted down and you didn't realise that your boss was there staring at you in awe.

Sure, he had seen you in that beautiful dress in the studio before and in your work clothes but never in your normal outdoor clothes.

You still wore your white turtle neck to cover your burns and Ms. Min was quick to notice.

"Oh deary, that turtleneck is ruining-"

"No, it's just fine" Yoongi interrupted his mother without taking his eyes off of you. Your ears perked up upon hearing his voice, making your head jolt up and meet his gaze.

Your breath was caught in your throat and you didn't know what to say. Why were you so nervous? You had worn a dress in front of him before.

Finally, Yoongi averted his eyes and looked at his mother.

"I'll pay for all of it, even her dress. I'll be outside" he said simply while giving her his card before heading out with his hands in his black jean pockets.

Ms. Min was in awestruck at what just happened and she saw that her test had worked. Her son was interested in you.

Looking back at you, she saw how nervous you were at the fact that Yoongi had seen you and the heat that came up to your cheeks.

And it seemed like you were interested in him.

A coy smile grew on her face as a great idea came to mind.

After paying for everything and you getting changed, you were all able to meet outside where Yoongi was impatiently waiting.

"About time-"

"Oh Yoongi! What am I to do- I have urgent business to attend to somewhere so I can't go with you. Can you please take Miss L/N back home since it's so late?" And with that, her driver pulled up on front of her.

"Thanks again for the amazing shopping date! I'll make sure to leave you alone from now on, Yoongi~" she passed the bag with your dress to her son before leaving you two to go to her urgent business.

Silence enveloped the two of you as you stood in the car park beside Yoongi's black car.

The CEO cleared his throat in embarrassment before speaking.

"I doubt she'll leave me alone..." this made you chuckle.

"She's like your biggest fan" he tilted his head slightly in thought.

"Usually for a CEO, their assistants are their biggest fans..."

"Huh?"

"Hm? Oh, nevermind... get in, I'll take you home" you shook your head no.

"It's okay, I can call my sister to pick me up-"

"I'm not asking" he stated before opening the passenger door for you. Blinking in shock, you had guessed you had no other choice and you got in inside.

He closed the door after you and entered the driver's side while placing your bag in the backseat before heading off on to the main road.

You told him your address and he quickly put it in to his GPS and that was it. Strangely, you thought the car ride to your house would be so awkward but, it was actually nice.

The sun was setting and many colours were filling the night sky.

It relaxed you.

You liked the idea of seeing the sun set everyday, cause then you could say to yourself that you did it. You lived another day trying your best to be normal.

Sure, people would say that when dawn comes, then it's to say that you lived to see tomorrow. You didn't have the luxury to think about tomorrow.

What mattered most was what was happening now.

Unbeknownst to you, Yoongi was also admiring the sun set. He too found it better than Dawn. Only because he didn't feel like he was in the open as much and he could relax without having anyone look at him.

The journey home was short but nice.

"Here's your dress" you were about to head inside your home when Yoongi took out the bag from before. Reminding yourself of when you wore it in front of him, you took it hesitantly and bowed in thanks.

"...thanks for the dress. I'll pay you back-"

"You don't owe me anything" seeing that it was futile to argue about it, you decided to let it go this time.

"I'll see you tomorrow" you were about to head in when you felt him grab your arm to stop you.

"Wait! I just wanted to know if you're okay from what happened yesterday-" suddenly, the door to your house opened to reveal a very distraught person that you called your sister.

"Y/N! I was so worried! You weren't answering your calls, I was about to call the police-" that's when Canna realised that there was a guy with you while holding your arm.

She put two and two together as she saw the mask on his face and the expensive car behind him. He was your boss.

"...what's going on?" You sighed, not wanting to have to explain what had happened to your sister.

"We worked over time and he offered to drive me home. That's it" Canna raised a brow at his hand that was still holding your arm and you quickly yanked your hand away.

The masked male frowned at this behind his mask and tried to play it off.

"I feel like more happened..." all of a sudden, she jumped forward and offered her hand to Yoongi.

"You must be the famous boss I've been hearing about! I heard a lot of good things from my sister about you!" Both you and Yoongi looked at quizzically before simultaneously speaking up.

"You did?" She nodded her yes.

"Mhm! I've been meaning to meet you and thank you for looking after her but I'm sure you're always busy- hey! Why don't you come in and have dinner with us?"

"What? Canna-"

"I'd love to show my thanks like this, come in!" Yoongi had never met such a persuasive person before and the fact the she was your older sister, he didn't want to disappoint.

"Err, s-sure-"

"Great! Right this way" you couldn't believe it. Your boss- the Min Yoongi was in your very pink house about to have dinner with you hosted by your sister.

"You came just in time! Dinner is ready!" After getting inside, you saw that she had indeed prepared spaghetti bolognese for tonight's dinner.

Her behaviour was very strange since you knew how much your sister wanted to make your boss suffer.

Yet, here she was letting him in with open arms?

Yoongi was lead to the kitchen where the colour pink still filled his vision and was told to sit at the pink dinner table.

You weren't far behind but instead of sitting at the table, you went over to your sister who was preparing plates.

"Canna, what are you doing?!" Yoi whispered.

"Hm? Giving our guest dinner of course~" rolling your eyes, you whispered back again.

"He never eats in front of people because of his mask!" Your sister paused before peering over her shoulder to look at the CEO who was staring at everything around him like he was in another planet.

"Would you like me to bring something to hide you while you eat?" Her question shocked him, usually hearing people asking him to take it off to eat rather than them asking if they could help.

"...if that's alright" she nodded and faced you.

"Go bring my blinder in my room" you remembered that she had a large black board that would bend and stop light from going on to her screen while she drew.

Seeing that your sister wasn't going to give up, you sighed and made your way to get it.

Once you returned, you saw that she had placed the plates of food on the table. However, you noticed something peeking out of Yoongi's food.

Wasabi.

"Thanks for the meal-"

"NO!" You yelled before removing his plate from him. Yoongi looked at you in surprise while Canna cursed under her breath as she had been found out.

"...err, that's my favourite plate... I can't eat from any other plates" you lied while swapping your plates. The masked man was very confused but decided to not question it.

To be honest, he doesn't even know if this was actually happening or if he was having a weird dream.

Not wanting to make things even more awkward, you placed the wooden plank on the table and bent it so that Yoongi was hidden from you both.

"Thanks, I know it must be weird eating like this-"

"Oh no it's fine! I don't mind at all!" Canna laughed while cracking her knuckles, ready to throw a punch his way.

Instantly, you kicked her leg under the table which made her yelp.

"Ow!"

"Are you okay?"

"Hm? Oh yeah, just dandy..." she breathed out through the pain before glaring at you to stop. You glared back and mouthed to her to back off.

While you two were secretly bickering, Yoongi had hesitantly taken off his mask once he knew that no one was looking at him and took a fork full of spaghetti in to his mouth.

Surprisingly, it tasted amazing. He always had takeout order to his place and even though his mother cooked food for him to be sent to his, he always threw them out.

It's been many years since he had a home cooked meal, nevermind eating with other people on the table.

You and Canna were still silently arguing and unbeknownst to you two, Yoongi could actually see from a reflection on the vase.

He chuckled at the sight and took a mental picture at your funny expression.

'Stop this or I'll tell mum about this'

'What?! No! Don't call mum! I'm trying to help you by torturing your boss!'

'We misunderstood him! Canna, I swear if you don't stop-' suddenly, the black board was moved to the side to reveal a masked Yoongi who was holding an empty plate.

"...seconds?" Both of you were taken aback at the unpredictable sight.

"...Y/N go and give him more spaghetti"

The night actually went by quick with weird introductions and a few funny stories here and there.

It was nearing 10PM and Canna had to call it a night.

"Sorry about the wasabi..." your sister apologised while chuckling nervously. You two were standing at the door way and were seeing your boss off.

"I've had worse things happen to me anyway. At least I don't think Y/N is weird for having a favourite plate anymore" you blushed immensely at this.

"I have such a quick witted sister~ oh yes I do~"

"Ugh, get off me!"

"Okay okay, I'll be inside cleaning. You're always welcome to come back here, Mr. Min" Canna added before waving goodbye and leaving you two alone.

Yoongi couldn't help but laugh at the two of you and your bickering antics.

"You two are definitely sisters" his words caught you by surprise since no one ever said they saw any similarities.

For some reason, that lifted your spirits slightly.

"Really? I don't hear that often..." you then shivered from the cold night breeze that went right through you.

Yoongi was quick to notice and gestured for you to go inside.

"Its cold, you should go in. I'll see you tomorrow morning?" He didn't give you time to respond as he walked off to his car to get inside.

His gesture was very nice of him and if it was the same Yoongi that you had met in the beginning, you'd think it would have been a miracle.

Though it wasn't and he was changing, day by day.

You couldn't help but like this new Yoongi.

Smiling to yourself, you headed inside after waving goodbye one last time.

As soon as the door closed, Yoongi breathed out the biggest sigh of relief.

"...what just happened?!" He yelled in his car. He then let his head fall in to his hands but unfortunately for him, he had hit the horn with his head.

BEEP!

"OW!" Suddenly realising what he did, he immediately put the car in to drive and got the hell of there.
