As I laid in bed, I tried to sleep but my head was filled with only thoughts of Jin. I reminisced about his kiss and replayed everything back in my mind, as I squealed into my pillow. I finally felt myself drifting off to sleep after a while. Instead of feeling groggy, when I woke up I felt excited to start my day and see Jin at work.

Oh right, work... how should we act at work!

I didn't really want people knowing about us! We would have to keep this a secret from everyone, especially Taehyung. We would tell him when the time was right, I knew it would upset him.

My phone loudly beeped with a notification and when I picked it up from my nightstand, I saw Jin had just texted me.

******
BAE: Good morning beautiful!

How the hell can he be so sweet! I sighed, and quickly responded.

ME: Good morning Mr. worldwide handsome 😁

In less than a second he replied.

BAE: 😂 I can't wait to see you!

ME: Me too! 😉

I jolted out of bed and rushed to get ready for work. I took a little extra time making my hair and makeup look perfect.

I felt like I was on cloud nine, as I did my morning commute to work. The world seemed so much brighter and pleasant today, and I felt like nothing could go wrong. Entering my work building, I had a constant smile glued to my face. I was early as usual and sat at my desk, rummaging through papers that I needed to work on today. Suddenly, I felt an uneasy feeling, like someone was watching me. I turned around in my office chair to see Sue standing there, impatiently with a sour expression on her face.

"Cora Lee, right?" Sue asked me, in a nasally voice.

Did she forget my name?

"I need to talk to you." She said with an unpleasant attitude and beckoned me with her crooked finger to follow her. I furrowed my eyes brows in confusion.

Why does she even want to talk to me?

We didn't even do similar work, so I knew it was not work related.

Sue led me into an empty dark office. She closed the door and told me to sit down, like she was my boss. Apprehensively, I did as she said and waited for her to tell me what was going on.

"Who do you think you are coming in here, and taking my man like that?" She asks, while slamming her hands on the table in front of me. My eyes grow wide and my jaw drops in confusion.

"What?" I ask not sure what she means. Jin's not her man!

"How dare you kiss him?" She asks her jaw clenched.

She must have saw us last night!

"I'm telling you now, Jin is mine. He's always been mine, and you need to keep your hands off. I'm warning you." Sue pointed her long finger in my face as she placed her other hand on her hip.

"Wait, how is he yours? He's not even interested in you! And what exactly are you going to do?" I said, thinking this woman was delusional and crazy.

Jin has never indicated he was interested in her, in fact he always seemed perplexed by her company.

"I'll expose both of you! You end things now, or I'll send the pictures I took of you two kissing, to the paparazzi! I love Jin and I don't want to jeopardize his career, but I'll do it, if you don't back off!" She snarled. Her face contorted in anger, as she placed the printed picture on the table for me to see.

I gasped when I glanced at the picture. It was a very clear picture of our faces in his car kissing. I suddenly felt overwhelmed with nausea and sick to my stomach.

How could she take pictures of us like that?

"You're crazy!" I lashed back at her.

"I am crazy and I really mean it, either stop dating Jin, or I will end both of your careers! Do you realize what this will do to him? He would lose his position as Co-CEO, his fans will go crazy and boycott Bts, and they are a fandom you do not want to mess with!" Her eyes filled with rage.

Unfortunately, I knew she was right, I shouldn't have let my feelings take over me. Why did I let myself fall for him! He is a celebrity with billions of adoring fans. They would kill me if they knew about me. I must end this now. I sadly accepted, and told her I would end things.

For once a triumphant smile came over her face likes she had won, which only infuriated me more. She flipped her dark wavy hair, and strutted out of the dark office, happy to be done with me. I sat alone in the dark office contemplating and holding back the tears I felt forming in my eyes. I was so happy for one night and just like that it was gone. I knew this is what I must to do, I had to break it off with Jin. I convinced myself, this was for the better. At least if we ended this early, it wouldn't be as hard. But why did it hurt so much? This feeling of dread came over me. Can I do this? I have to do it! This is for the best. I have to think of Jin's future.

Suck it up Cora, I said to myself.

I took a deep breath and walked out of the office, pretending nothing was bothering me. Taehyung was already at his cubicle, busily typing up a report. I was surprised to see him working already. I expected him to be chatting with someone, oblivious that he had work to do like usual.

"Hi Taehyung!" I faked a happy smile.

He glanced my way and ignored me, going back to typing.

Ouch.

I may not like him, but being ignored like that was not cool. It hurt my feelings, I bit my lip as I tried to read the expression on Taehyung's face. What is going on?

I could feel his anger boiling, as he intently focused on his computer screen. His typing was loud and aggressive as he clenched his jaw. I was almost worried, he would break the keyboard with the way he was typing.

"Is everything ok?" I asked cautiously.

Taehyung got up angrily and moved all his belongings to another cubicle that was vacant nearby.

Now I knew. He knows about us.

Why would Jin tell him? Or maybe Sue told him, I wouldn't put it past her.

Just like that, I felt like I had lost both my new friend and Jin all at once, and the realization pained me greatly.
