"Date me"

As the words leave her mouth, Jungkook's eyes turn to doe-like from siren eyes, as he stares at her in disbelief. He's astonished by the level of her boldness. He knows she has been bold since the first day they've met but today, she just went beyond limitations.

He narrows his eyes and lifts one of his eyebrows, "Pardon?"

That deep voice makes Y/N gulp. She knows she has taken a stupid decision and neither does she want to be in a relationship with her cold, ruthless CEO. She's forced and helpless.

"Repeat that again," he says, this time taking a few steps towards her.

She sucks in her breath and lets it go a moment before she stares daringly, right into his eyes and says, louder and clearer this time, "Date me!"

But to her surprise, Jungkook just smirks and then, laughs at her mockingly, "So.... My assumption is right..." He stares at her and licks his lower lip, "You have a crush on me, don't you?"

Y/N almost chokes at his statement. Crush?!! On him out of all people?! "What?! Are you--"

He interrupts her by saying, "Yes, I'm serious. The way you stared at me when you first saw me on the day of your interview, I was sure you liked me. Why not? I know I'm hot," he says proudly, fixing his collar.

Y/N decides to respond to him boldly. She smirks too, walking away from the wall and towards him, getting closer and closer to the point that they're just inches apart now, "I'm not a person to do something for free. You think.... You'll just tell me to keep your...." She touches his red ruby pendant without any hesitation, "a secret... And I will? No way! I need something in return..."

"And you asked to be my girlfriend?" He raises his brows, "You could've just asked for money."

"My salary is enough! I don't need any illegal money," she says, "I want a dating experience as I've never dated. I've been looking for a guy but didn't find one yet. So... How about give it a try, hmm?"

Jungkook rolls his eyes, growing irritated as he warns her in his deep, cold voice, "Hands off me, Choi."

She realises what she is doing and immediately takes off her hand from his pendant, crossing her arms around her chest.

He scoffs, "Who do you think you're talking to? That you'll simply come over and ask to date me?"

"Uhm... I'm talking to Jeon Jungkook," she says casually, "Why? What's so special in you?"

She's getting on his nerves now. Jungkook can feel his veins pop out and some beads of sweat, covering his forehead. He's getting frustrated with her now.

"Oh c'mon, Jeon! Just for 5 months!! Can't you even do this?" She says, rolling her eyes.

Jungkook scoffs, "You think I've a high tolerance level that I can tolerate you for 5 months?! Hell no!"

"Fine then," Y/N huffs and starts walking away while Jungkook heaves a sigh of relief.

But the next words that leave her mouth, make shivers run through Jungkook's spine.

Before she exits from his office room, she says loudly, "Guys! I've a very important topic for gossips! You know our CEO Mr. Jeon, he is a-"

Just then, he grabs her wrist and turns her over, pinning her to the wall again. Y/N's body goes stiff as she gulps and stares into his deep, dark narrow eyes, shooting daggers at her. He warns her in his coldest, piercing voice, "DONT. DARE. SAY. IT."

For a moment, she feels scared. She feels her confidence breaking. But just then, she remembers a memory of Jimin.

"Hey Jimin, I've been curious about something!" Y/N says, while sipping her milkshake.

"What is it, darling?" Jimin looks at her, winking, making Y/N roll her eyes.

"I've noticed a close relation between you and Mr. Jeon. I mean not that close like friends do, but he's kinder with you.... Why? Do you both know each other from before?"

Jimin's mouth goes dry at that sudden question. He is at a loss of words. He's trying to find some silly reasons to answer her question because there is no way he'll say the truth to her. Jungkook will chew him alive then.

He stutters, "I- uhm...uh... I'm an old employee... I've been working here since Jeon Industries was set up... So, this is why you can see him getting along better with me than others..."

"Oh cool! This means you know him very well, don't you?" She asks him, giving a sheepish smile.

"Uh...N-not much...hehe..," he laughs awkwardly, "He has been always cold and rude," his smile fades away, "But don't ever challenge him. If you do so, he'll make sure to complete it, no matter what it takes him."

Y/N smirks, "Scared much?"

Jungkook's grip on her wrist tightens, so tight that it might probably bruise later. He clenches his jaw, making that jawline prominent and moves his face closer to hers, whispering, "You're getting too much, Choi"

Y/N's smirk never leaving her face, she just says in a mocking tone, "Such a coward. You can't even date a girl."

That's it. It is too much for Jungkook that he loses it all. He punches his fist into the wall, making Y/N almost yelp in fear. His eyes turn crimson red as he stares into her soul, rage and irritation very clear in them.

He closes his eyes for a moment, huffing to maintain his composure and then looks back at her again. This time, his eyes are black again. "Fine," he huffs, "From today, I'm your boyfriend and it'll continue for 5 months."

Y/N's eyes widen as she stares at him momentarily before almost jumping up in joy. She looks at him with hope and surprise, "You... Mean it?"

"Did you leave me with a choice?" Jungkook rolls his eyes, "But keep it in your mind," he says bringing his face closer to hers, "I will never ever love you. I hate you and I always will. I'm doing this just for the sake of my reputation."

He then pulls himself away from her, "Get out now! I don't want to see your face right now!"

Y/N smiles sheepishly and nods. Suddenly, she runs towards him, making Jungkook raise one of his eyebrows in confusion until..... Y/N grabs his shoulders, lifting herself up by her toes as she places a kiss on his cheek, leaving him speechless, with his jaw hanging open.

Jungkook just stands still, frozen, as if he has turned into a stone. He's unable to comprehend what just happened. He just stares at her with those big, doe eyes as she rushes out of his office, looking back at him for a moment and bidding a goodbye, "Thank you so much, my.... Boyfriend" she winks.

Jungkook feels a lump at his throat as he chokes onto his own spit. He groans and almost pulls his hair in frustration.

How am I supposed to survive five months with this woman?! I can't even tolerate her for 20 minutes!!

:::

Ever since Y/N heard those words from Jungkook, that pretty smile has never left her face and she has been giggling like crazy. She had never imagined that such a stupid and insane idea of her would succeed. She never thought getting close to him would be this easy! When she first boldly expressed her silly demand, she won't lie.. But she did feel scared. Scared that he might fire her. This job is really precious for her and if she would have been fired for such silly reason, she doesn't know what she would do.

As Y/N walks up to her desk, she couldn't help but feels a tendency to go and meet Jimin and give him a big thanks. And she follows her desire.

Jimin is seated on his chair, typing a report on his laptop as he momentarily sips his drink. It is just then he hears Y/N call his name, "Jiminahh!!"

He grins at that cute nickname that she gave him and stands up from his seat, walking towards her, "Y/Niee!" He's left surprised when Y/N pulls him in a tight hug, squealing and jumping.

Jimin's jaw hangs open at that. He takes some Seconds to comprehend what's happening and then, slowly taps her back awkwardly, "Ah....Y/N..."

"Thank you so so much Jiminaahhh!!! Thank you thank you!!!" She squeals.

Jimin is left confused again, "Ah... Welcome.... But why-" just then his eyes fall on the surveillance camera on the wall and he curses mentally. Oh fuck noo!!! J-Jungkook....

And Y/N, with her ability to read minds, hears his thoughts. She widens her eyes. No no! If he has to see her like this with another guy, he'll surely break that deal.

She breaks the hug and jolts up, "Mr. Jeon?! Where... Where?!" She looks back but there is no one.

Jimin frowns, "Why are you looking for...Mr. Jeon here?" Did she just hear my thoughts..? Is she something like... Kookie?

Y/N bites on her lower lip. Oh shit Y/N! She awkwardly laughs, "Ah... No... Actually.. you know, if he would see us like this... He would probably scold us..."

Jimin smiles, "Yeah.. Thats true though!" Just then, the previous event comes back to his mind, "Btw... The 'thank you'..."

"Ah that...," Y/N looks down for a moment and then looking back at him, "I can't tell you right now but.... I'll tell you... One day!" She smiles and makes her way back to her office, while Jimin just gives her his eye smile, that makes him look super cute.

Two days later~

"Jisoo!!" Y/N laughs, "For real, you're so silly!!"

"She always has been, since school!" Rose mocks her.

"Hey!! Don't call me that!" She says, rubbing of the whipped cream from her upper lip, that probably got there from her smoothie. That made her a moustache.

Well, this is Kim Jisoo and Park Rose, Y/N's new friends that she made a few days ago. Rose is a lower employee and Jisoo is a receptionist, the same receptionist that Y/N met on the day of her interview who helped her. They've become good buddies now and they often meet at the cafeteria to have a brief chit chat. Y/N feels happy to make female friends too.

"Hey Y/Nie! Long time no see... How are you?" Yeonjun comes up to them and leans onto their table.

"I'm fine, Junie!" Y/N smiles at him, "How are you hmm?"

"I'm fine as wine," he winks at her.

Jisoo and Rose glance at each other. "You know her Mr. Choi?" Jisoo asks in confusion.

"Yes, she's my Y/Niee!" He tells proudly.

"Oh, your sister?" Rose asks enthusiastically, that makes Yeonjun choke and Y/N giggle.

"No Rose, we're best friends. Childhood best friends!" Y/N clarifies.

"Oh...I thought you were siblings because you have the same surnames 'Choi'" Rose laughs, while Yeonjun clenches his jaw and sulks. Me? Her brother? Never!! He's lucky that Y/N is busy chatting that she didn't hear his thoughts, or else, he would have gotten caught.

Rose and Jisoo withdraw after a while, leaving Yeonjun and Y/N alone.

"So... How's work going?" Yeonjun asks.

"Pretty good... The people here are nice!" Y/N smiles.

"Hmm... Except for Jeon," Yeonjun rolls his eyes.

"Yeah, and Min Yoongi," Y/N clenches her jaw, thinking of her petty colleague. Ow! She hates him more than Jeon! Even his face annoys her.

"Y/N... I've been thinking of something lately...," Yeonjun fidgets with his fingers, "We haven't hung out for so long... What about going out today?"

Y/N smiles, showing enthusiasm, "Thats a great idea!! True....I miss our evening conversations.. maybe today at 7?" Yeonjun nods in agreement.

Suddenly, Y/N's phone starts buzzing. "Ah.. Must be mom!" Y/N mumbles, looking at Yeonjun.

But to her surprise, it is Taehyung. Y/N is left confused. Tae? Why is he calling now? Nonetheless, she picks it up.

"Y/N, where are you?" Taehyung huffs, a hint of concern lingering in his voice.

"Cafeteria... Why?" Y/N says, confusedly.

"Go to Mr. Jeon's office right now...," Y/N's smile drops. Jungkook? "He has been calling you for the past 20 minutes! I picked up your office telephone and... He seemed pretty.... Angry..."

"O-okay....I'm going...," she gulps and hangs up. Sighing, she looks at Yeonjun, "Sorry Junie.... I've to go. Jeon's calling.."

Yeonjun smiles and bids her goodbye, "It's alright. See ya at 7!"

:::

Y/N rushes to the office hurriedly. She can hear her heartbeat ringing in her ears, banging against her chest due to the rush and also due to the stress she is having right now.

Why did he call so suddenly? What if.... What if he breaks the deal?! What if he fires me?! She starts overthinking and panicking.

She takes a brief moment to compose herself before knocking onto the door.

"Come in"

Before she could even ask for permission, his voice echoes though the room.

Y/N steps in, gulping. She can feel herself sweating due to the stress she is taking.

He sits there, working on his laptop and signing some papers, not even paying a single glance to her. It was until Y/N speaks out, "You called me...Mr. Jeon?"

He hums. He sets his paper aside and leans into his comfy chair, staring at her, "Where were you?"

"Cafeteria..." She mumbles.

"Louder please. I can't hear you"

"I was in the cafeteria!"

"So irresponsible. All you know is to go on chattering with people, don't you?" He scoffs and rolls his eyes.

Y/N feels a fit of rage, "Oh yeah? You can see me chattering at the cafeteria for about 30 minutes but you can't see the 5 hours that I work in your company, can you?"

"Whatever," Jungkook huffs, "Let's come to the main point." He stops speaking as he stares into her soul, a small smirk decorating his face.

What is he thinking...?

"Get ready. At 7 p.m. We're going on a date. Forced one, of course."

Y/N widens her eyes. Date?! Seriously? Is he really taking me?! She almost wants to jump in joy. Joy that her plan has started to work.

But then, she remembers....

Yeonjun...At 7 p.m.

What about him?!

P.S. Finally!!! I'm back with Entangled guysss!!!
