We quickly separated and after making sure we looked put together, Jin called out, "Come in!"

The door opened and Heather casually strolled in, with a toothy grin, "Oh my... seems like I've interrupted something."

"Hello Heather... why are you here?" I asked surprised to see her, she rarely came down to this floor.

"Hello you two, having a little extra fun at work I see?" Heather asked with a devious wink.

"Oh no. We were just discussing Cora's promotion as my new secretary." Jin answered with a straight face as he fixed his tie.

"Oh that's great! I'm so proud of you Cora! Congratulations!" Heather gave me a tight hug.

"Thank you! How are you Heather? Have you been able to take care of your situation?" I asked.

Heather's smile faded as a look of disdain came upon her face. "Well I'm okay, I decided to reach out to my father about Sue. He is going to help to me and I will talk to the board members to back me up against Sue buying more stocks. He's also talking to the members that sold their stocks to her to see why they would do that. The whole situation seems very fishy and if she's as careless as I think she is, we might find something that can help us."

"Be careful, she will use unethical methods to get what she wants." I warned Heather.

"I know Cora. Don't worry, my father is used to people like her and I think he will get to the bottom of this. He has a lot influence with the board members, and will find out what's really going on. He also knows people that can find out things if we pay them a pretty penny." Heather said coolly.

I guess it makes sense Heather's father would know people like that. The entertainment industry is a cutthroat industry with a lot of secrets.

"Anyway, I'm here to confirm our upcoming annual retreat including your company. Are we still going together?" Heather asked Jin with a hopeful smile.

"Of course, I'll make the announcement today." Jin answered.

"Great my team have already picked the perfect place for that weekend. I just wanted to confirm with your company, before we officially book at the resort." Heather glanced at me.

I had a feeling Heather was planning something.

"Yes Heather. We look forward to it!" Jin said unable to hold back his excitement.

"Great! I'm excited! Our annual retreats are always the most anticipated social event of the year! Everyone enjoys it! It really rejuvenates us and keeps morale up among the team. I'll be getting back to work now, if you'll excuse me." Heather headed out the door.

How can she still plan a retreat with everything that's going on?

"This is perfect for us. We can get away from everything and finally be alone." Jin said, elated.

Yes just the two of us alone!

The next few weeks flew by fast. As Jin's new secretary, I had a lot more on my plate. Jungkook had decided to stay longer and became the new intern helping our company get caught up with the backed up paperwork. He was a much better office worker than Taehyung. I was starting to think that there was nothing he couldn't do.

Still living with Jin, it had become normal for us to live like a family. I almost felt like Taehyung and Jungkook were our children, they certainly acted like it when they'd fight over video games and who's turn it was to clean. Jin and I were enjoying each other's company, and I dreaded leaving to move back to my apartment. I was tempted to officially move in here with all of them, but I was worried my parents would find out and flip out!

Jin and I hadn't been too intimate because the boys were nosy and were always eavesdropping in on us. I knew it made Taehyung uncomfortable as well, despite him pretending he was happy for us. Every once in a while, I'd catch him watching us with a look of anger and then he'd see me staring and immediately smile at me like nothing was wrong. I felt bad coming between the two brotherly members, but my feelings for Jin were too strong.

Sue had become a key member of the executive board for Heather's company and was starting to gain more stocks somehow. Despite everything Heather didn't seem bothered, and I didn't see Sue anymore so I was fine for the time being.

"The work trip is tomorrow, are you ready?" Jin asked me while we were sitting comfortably on his couch cuddling.

"Yes I have everything packed and ready to go." I excitedly answered as I looked up at Jin.

"Good, me too." Jin kissed me lightly on my forehead.

We were both excited to get away for a few days. Fortunately, the trip was to a secluded area in the middle of nowhere. We would be away from civilization and the paparazzi, and we could finally relax. Heather did a great job picking this destination.

My phone rang and I saw Heather's name pop up,

"Hello?"

"Girl, I have bad news!"

"What is it?" I asked anxiously.

"Sue is coming on the trip too!"

"What?!"

"Yeah! She just told me to make sure I have a nice suite for her. I didn't even know she was coming. I know she's going to make things difficult for everyone." Heather sighed in annoyance.

"Have you been able to dig up anything on her yet?" I asked eager to find a weakness of hers.

"My dad is working on it. He's been talking to a lot of people and is starting to get some leads. He thinks he'll get to the bottom of everything soon."

"That's great!" I felt relieved that Heather's father was able to work fast.

"Anyway be ready because next weekend is going to get interesting."

"I'll be ready." I said, determined not to let Sue ruin my relationship.

"My God Taehyung do you really need all these luggages for a weekend trip?" I asked, astonished at the three giant Louis Vuitton luggages Taehyung carried with him to put in the rental minivan.

"Yes I need all of these for the trip, you never know? Besides isn't there going to be nice dinners every night? And I heard we will go hiking, I will need all my different outfits for each occasion." Taehyung said like this was totally normal for a weekend trip.

I sometimes forgot how pampered Jin and Taehyung are, but least they don't have their stylist and makeup artist coming along, that would be too much.

I carried my very small luggage with only two dresses, a set of pajamas, hiking clothes and casual clothes. I almost feel like I didn't pack enough. Jin only had one large luggage, but it was filled to capacity with all his several outfits as well.

"Here noona I'll help you put your luggage in the car." Taehyung grabbed my bag, and shoved it in the top empty spot on the left of the minivan we rented. The minivan was filled to the top with all our belongings, threatening to spill over dangerously if we weren't careful.

We all climbed into the minivan and headed out to the resort. It was over two hours away, so we had a long drive ahead of us. Jin's manager drove us there so we could comfortably ride and nap if we needed to. I sat with Jin in the back, while Taehyung and Jungkook sat in the front of the luxury van. The good thing about being in the back was that the others were too busy watching the newest Avengers movie to pay attention to us. Jin and I had our hands intertwined with my head comfortably resting on his broad shoulder. He tilted his head to rest against mine, as we watched the movie quietly.

Throughout the movie Jin would turn to gaze at me lovingly, and then he would kiss my hand or wink. Each time I would smile back like a lovesick child, I tried not to be too obvious how taken I was with him. I was sure he knew though, because he would start chuckling, making the others look back at us puzzled. They would sigh and roll their eyes at us. Taehyung looked especially annoyed and at one point, put his headphones on and took a nap. I tried not to let it bother me. Jin didn't care and I felt bad, but I figured by now Taehyung would just have to get over it. After all, I was officially Jin's girlfriend.

"I hope our rooms are near each other." Jin said with a hint of mischief in his eyes.

"Me too." I said, taking a gulp from my water bottle.

"Maybe we should just share a room." Jin added.

I almost spit out the water I was drinking. I laughed, but considered it. We were finally alone out here with no Taehyung and Jungkook around to hear us if we decided to take things further.

"Jin hyung what did you say?" Jungkook asked, looking back at us with a smirk on his face.

"Oh nothing Jungkook." I gave him a look to mind his own business.

Jungkook chuckled and turned back to the movie. Good thing Taehyung hadn't heard Jin, he was sound asleep.

We finally arrived to the secluded resort, it was embedded deep in the great forest with tall pine trees surrounding it. I heard the sounds of nature with no horns honking or loud trucks passing by, just birds chirping, frogs croaking, and crickets in the distance.

As we pulled up, the bellman helped us take our luggage into our individual rooms. The five star resort was campus style, so we had to walk out far to the clusters that had our rooms. Jungkook and Taehyung were rooming together, and went off to their room in cluster three that was further back.

My room was right next to Heather's in cluster one, near the lobby. She chose her room next to mine so we would be close and easily visit each other. Jin's room was at cluster nine and was on the other side of the resort, It was for the most VIP guests and had the nicer suites. The staff even gave him a ride in the little trolley so he wouldn't have to walk.

I went into my room and was stunned at how fancy the room was. I started to put away my clothes, when I heard a knock on the door. I looked through the peephole and saw Jin standing there grinning.

"Who is it?" I pretended I didn't know it was him outside the door.

"It's Mr. Worldwide Handsome!" Jin announced loudly.

I chuckled at his response and opened the door for him, "And why are you here oppa?" I raised my eyebrow.

"I wanted to see if your room was as nice as mine." Jin stepped in and glanced around the beautifully decorated room.

"Satisfied?" I asked after Jin had finished looking around my room.

"Mine has a better view. I think you should come see it." He grabbed my hands to follow him.

"I'm putting my clothes away!" I argued, trying to be coy.

"That can wait!" Jin said impatiently.

I was surprised, he seemed a bit too excited to make me go to his room, "I'll come by later, I don't want our coworkers to see us."

"Oh who cares! They won't dare mess with you after what I said to them the other day."

That doesn't make it better, I still got death glares from several women at work now. Thank goodness I have Jin, Taehyung, and Jungkook or I would be an outcast at work. Even some of the men at work wouldn't talk to me. The last time I was in the break room getting coffee and chatting with one of my male colleagues, Jin came in and intently stared at us, making everyone uncomfortable. I told Jin to calm down, he acted like he didn't do anything wrong and that he just didn't trust some of the men at work.

Despite the tension between Taehyung and Jin, he didn't get jealous of us talking, he trusted his dongsaeng.

"Come meet up with me for dinner it's at 7." Jin said, giving up on taking me to his room.

I admit I wanted to go with him, but the last thing we need is more gossip about us, when we're here to build bonds with our coworkers. We will have to be discreet, at least wait until everyone is inebriated or asleep tonight.

"Ok oppa."

I got settled in my room after unpacking, then took a hot shower. I got dressed in one of my simple dresses and straightened my hair. I decided to head to Jin's room to meet up for dinner. I could surprise him and see this supposed nice view he was talking about.

As I strolled along closer to the ninth cluster, I gazed out at the gorgeous scenery of the lake and forest surrounding us. The pine trees and blue skies makes the scenery look like a picture from a nature magazine. A slight smile grew on my face at the scene, happy to get away from the bustling city.

As I stepped up the wooden steps to Jin's room, I heard voices coming from his room. Jin was talking to someone and then I heard what was clearly a woman's voice.
