Chapter 3: The first day

It's dusk already. The sun is slowly disappearing, painting the sky in hues of vermilion and crimson. The moon could be seen rising in the sky. He stands by his glass wall, gazing at the sky and the rising moon that's just a day from completing its full moon phase.

He shuts his eyes close, frowning, as he caresses his red, ruby pendant and sighs. It's hurting him, it's getting difficult for him to control it. He's about to lose it and go nuts. He can feel his fangs grow and his skin turn paler. But the fact that he's right now in his office, being the CEO, it's damn hard.

Just then, his grand office door creaks open and he flinches. In a mattter of seconds, he feels his blood boil and his temper rise. Who the fuck is it at this moment?! And that too without knocking?! He's the damn CEO! Who dared to?

"Hey Kook-"

"WHO THE FUCK IS THIS?!" he yells, looking at the man in front of him. The other man jolts up and flinches to see his state— disheveled hair, undone shirt; his skin too pale and his fangs growing slowly.

"Kookie!" the other man gasps and shuts the door slowly, making sure no one saw him. "Oh my... Sit down, lil bro!" he makes him sit down on his luxurious chair and brings him a cup of water to gulp down.

"Has it begun early this time?" the other man asks caressing his hair. "Yes... It's getting worse." he closes his eyes and groans.

"Calm down, yeah?" the man takes a seat on the opposite chair.

"What are you here for, Jimin--Mr. Park?" Jungkook manages to ask him, after retaining his calm self.

"Mr. Park?! C'mon, Jungkook! It's just us here! You can call me with your usual 'Jiminshi'!!" the man gives a side eye to the other and frowns

"Fine... What's the purpose of you being here?" Jungkook sighs and continues.

"The applicants... Have you chosen any?"

"The applicants...? Oh right- wait... Let me check...," Jungkook takes the register in his hand and checks thoroughly through the applicants' remarks, written by him earlier. Truth to be told, he isn't much satisfied by any. It's hard to meet up Jeon Jungkook's expectations. "21... no... 22... nah... 23...," he trails off thinking of the 23rd applicant. The boldest and most extraordinary woman he has ever seen, Choi Y/N. He gets lost thinking of her, that confidence oozing out of her and the way she answered all the questions without any hesitation. But that one memory...

Not gonna lie, he seemed cold and rude to me right in our first encounter. The way he said 'call me Mr. Jeon'... Gosh!! Narcissist!!

'Narcissist... Right? I'll show you what I can be once you join my company, Choi.'

Without thinking twice, he blurts out, "23...Choi Y/N."
He's determined to take his revenge on her for backbiting about him. He isn't going to tolerate a single word about him. He's firm on his goal on showing her what he could be.

"Choi Y/N... You sure?" Jimin asks, skimming through his iPad.

"Hmm."

"Ayy... This woman is pretty though...," Jimin says, smirking and looking up at Jungkook. "Are you planning to perhaps... fuck her someday...?" Jimin gives his devilish smirk which makes Jungkook roll his eyes and groan, "All you think about is girls and sex huh?" he shakes his head, "Go and do your remaining work, Jiminshi-- I mean... Mr. Park."

Jimin too rolls his eyes and gets up from the chair, "Alright, Mr. Jeon," he gives a fake smile and bows before making his way out.

"Aishh... This man... Always the same," Jungkook smiles and leans on his chair.

It's morning and Y/N is already awake. Truth to be told, she has barely slept the previous night. It was all her excitement and anticipation for the result that kept her awake. She has been constantly checking her laptop for that email and... *Ding*

Y/N jolts up and quickly opens that email, her most awaited email.

Congratulations on achieving your new position as the Assistant Chief of Jeon Industries.

Y/N jumps with joy reading the email and yells, "Mom!" In a flash of seconds, her mother appears in the room, "What is it sweetie?! Did it arrive?!"

"Yes mom! I got selected!!"

Both the women squeal and scream with joy as they hug each other. Y/N's mom kisses her forehead and she has her eyes glistening at her daughter's achievement.

"So proud of you, sweetie!! Love you!!"

"Love you too, mom!!"

The next day:

It's time for Y/N's first day in her office. She keeps a keen knowledge of the time and wakes up earlier, which was unusual for her. She freshens up, taking a warm shower, having her usual cereal and toast and makes her way to her room to put on her special outfit, that she has saved for this special day. She wears a pair of lean, linen pants, a white shirt neatly tucked in and black heels. She decides to tie her hair in a loose ponytail as it is too hot to keep it open. And last but not the least, she puts on her favorite fragrance— a floral scent with a hint of rose.

"Mom, I gotta go!"

Her mom comes towards her, leaving whatsoever she was doing and gives her a peck on her forehead, "All the best, sweetie!"

"Thanks mom! Take care!"

And she gets on her way. She keeps that confident outlook, the one that she has always been known for. When she enters the building, all eyes of the people are set on her, all eager to see the new member of the staff.

"Oh... That must be the new Assistant Chief...," she can hear murmurs about her and she purses her lips tight to not grin. She is about to move to the CEO office when a man stops her, "Ms. Choi right?"

She looks back and sees a tall and lean man, dressed neatly in a formal suit and he has a warm smiley face. She smiles back and nods to him.

"Mr. Jeon hasn't arrived yet. In the meantime, I've been given the charge to show you around and tell you about the regulations and systems," the man informs her. She follows the man who shows her around the building. Such a sweet guy! She thinks.

"Oh right, I forgot to mention myself!" he chuckles, "I'm Jung Hoseok, one of the Deputy Chiefs of the company. You can call me Hoseok or Hobi! That's much better!" he grins.

"So this is your cabin, where you'll be sitting. It's on the 36th floor— just 2 floors below the CEO's cabin," the elevator door opens, revealing the luxurious place. She walks in, looking around being amazed. Wah... I'll be working here. "So, you'll be given here by the company a personal iPad and a computer for storing all your work files. The CEO actually provides all the staff with their necessary stuff. That's great, isn't it?" he further explains to her, "Oh right... Also, you're one of the three Assistant Chiefs here. The earlier, Mr. Han, retired last month, so we required a new--"

"Hello, beautiful lady!" someone interrupts Hoseok's explanation. Y/N frowns looking at that guy— he too, is dressed in a formal, expensive suit and has some attractive charms. She isn't gonna lie, he IS handsome.


Seeing that guy, Hoseok makes a weird expression and groans, "Stop, Jimi--"

"Hello, Mr. Handsome." Y/N cuts off his remark with a curt reply and smirks. The other two men are taken aback by her boldness.

"Wah... Pretty bold lady, hmm?" Jimin smirks too. He extends his hand, willing to shake hands with her, "I'm Park Jimin, the other Deputy Chief. Nice to meet you, Ms. Choi."

"Nice to meet you too, Mr. Park," she shakes his hand.

"C'mon, I'll show you your cabin," Hoseok tells her and directs her to follow him.

They all haven't realised that Jungkook has been watching them since the very beginning. He frowns seeing Y/N talk like that to Jimin. I've to extinguish her fire of boldness. He thinks and sighs. He looks at Y/N walking towards her cabin when an evil idea pops out.

He clasps his fingers and BAM.

Y/N slips and falls down onto the floor, groaning and whimpering in pain. Hoseok, Jimin and some other employees rush to help her get up.

"Messed up even on the first day of your work, hmm?"
