Jin is the new CEO? When did that happen?

Currently, most of the BTS members are on hiatus, four of them are serving their military service*. The only ones that haven't joined yet, are the youngest two, Taehyung and Jungkook. Jin already completed his two year service last year. There were rumors going around that he was helping in the business aspect of his label company. Now I could see those rumors were true, I couldn't believe he actually became the Co-CEO! I felt incredibly proud of his accomplishments, and joined the rest of the staff as we all loudly clapped and cheered for him. Someone was whistling and laughing boisterously from the back, drawing my attention to them.

Wait a minute I recognize that husky laugh!

My head spun around, the laughing was coming from Kim Taehyung! He was smiling so gleefully, looking so proud of Jin.

I never expected that Taehyung would actually be here. I tried to hold off on my fan girl tendencies and act professional, but I couldn't help but feel giddy inside, being so close to my bias. He looked breathtakingly handsome in person, just like Jin, the cameras really didn't do him justice.

My focus quickly turned back to Jin, as he gave his introduction. He looked so professional and business like, unlike his usual goofy persona. He bowed to us respectfully before he spoke, "Hello everyone! I'm honored to have the new position of Co-CEO, I look forward to working with you, and I hope to make this a great experience for everyone."

He kept his speech short and simple.

"Thank you Jin, and now everyone our meeting will conclude here. Let's all get back to work!" Heather lead us back to our work area.

I excitedly walked back to my new cubicle alongside the herd of people. It's my first real job, and I couldn't wait to decorate my little area. I started putting up my picture frames of my parents and I. I need to visit my family soon, it has been way too long since I last visited them. I avoided them because I was ashamed to tell them I was barely making it out on my own.

"Cora, I have some papers I need you to copy. Please take these forms down to the third floor copy room. Copy and staple them, then put them in my box when you're done." Heather commanded me authoritatively.

"Yes ma'am" I got up with the stack of forms. It felt awkward pretending I didn't know my best friend and treating her like my boss. It was also a weird dynamic, because she has always treated me as an equal.

My first assignment of making copies can't be that difficult. I went to the third floor copy room, and tried to make my first copy. Already the first paper got jammed, and wouldn't go through to print.

Oh no! How could I mess this up? It looked so easy when other people did it!

I tried pulling it out, but it just wouldn't budge. I didn't want to rip the paper, so I tried opening the top, but that didn't help.

"Here, let me help you with that." Taehyung was standing next to the copy machine, and pushed a blue button. The paper came out in reverse, and was finally released!

"Thank you so much!" I gratefully bowed while avoiding eye contact.

Taehyung chuckled, "I just learned that trick yesterday! I'm glad I could help."

I felt a lump in my throat, I tried to contain the giddiness I felt being this close to my bias. I couldn't believe I was standing next to Taehyung from BTS! He was so much taller and slender in person and so kind too!

"Hi I'm Taehyung!" He enthusiastically offered his hand out for a handshake.

"Hello I'm Cora." I shyly shook his hand back.

"Hey don't be intimidated! We're coworkers now! I'm just like one of you guys!"

Huh? He's not like me. He's in a world famous boy group that I've been a huge fan of for years. I have posters of these guys on my walls!

"I'm a new intern here too. I saw you introduce yourself at the meeting. Since I have nothing to do until the other members return from their service, I wanted to learn something new, and work with Jin hyung*. Jin hyung asked Mr. Bang, if he could help out in the business. Who would have thought, they'd promote him to Co-CEO?" Taehyung rambled joyously.

"I was quite surprised myself." I tried to engage in conversation with Taehyung like a normal person.

"Jin hyung's English has gotten so good too!"

"Your English has improved a lot as well!" I said impressed with his pronunciation.

"You think so! Thanks! I'm practicing everyday! That's another reason why I wanted to come too, so I can communicate better with my international ARMY." He grinned cutely.

Taehyung such a sweetheart, always thinking of army.

"We should be friends. When are you going to lunch?" Taehyung asked me. I felt taken aback and tried to respond normally.

"I'll take my lunch break at 12pm."

"Okay me too. I'll see you then!" He waved to me with a boxy grin as I grabbed my paperwork and left.

He is so cute! Okay, stop it! You're at work, keep your composure. I told myself, as I tried hard not to squeal in excitement.

When I dropped off the paperwork in Heather's box, she pulled me aside to sign a Non Disclosure Agreement form, stating I would not talk to anyone outside of work about any business involving BTS, or BigHit entertainment. I signed the form understanding, but at least I could talk to Heather about everything.
