Jane's POV:-

It's almost time, I was dressed in the blue mermaid dress. I feel too naked because of the deep neck.

Troye straightened my hair, put the eyeliner perfectly and blush as well. He's still roaming around praising himself and thinking of opening a YouTube channel with makeup tutorials on it. If he wouldn't be there, I would be alone in life.

"Mr Lee Troye, how do you know all this? You straightened my hair perfectly and the eyeliner, I would never be able to wing it the way you did. I'm impressed," I said while he bowed which made me chuckle.

"You should be. I used to help the girls do their makeup who dance at Trivia club and that's the main reason I've become an expert."

I tried to deny going to party or just change the outfit since my self-esteem just vanished as I've never seen myself in such sexy clothes before but Troye didn't let me.

He gave me the idea of staying around Mr Choi so that I get a reaction from Namjoon and eventually I'll ask him about his feelings.

"Stop overthinking Jane. You look perfect, nothing is too revealing. Trust me, he's going to like this. I know you aren't interested into him much and you're just working for money but if Kim Namjoon likes you, imagine how famous you'll become," he said as I could see his eyes twinkling.

"I'm not interested in fame, if things don't go well, I'll leave the job. I've got money for this month and I'll start working in that coffee shop which I was about to go before he came here," I said and then noticed the black heels that were too sexy for an ordinary girl like me.

"These heels are good but uncomfortable, what if I fall and make a joke out of myself?"

"Jenny, Kim Namjoon won't let you," Troye chuckled. "He's not my boyfriend, what's wrong with you?" I rolled my eyes while he grinned raising his eyebrow and smirking the entire time.

I started to walk towards the taxi that was waiting outside my house, locked the door, hugged Troye and sat inside.
"Have fun Jenny, enjoy the night," he said as I waved back.

-

I knew I was going to get a lot of attention being late and that's something I didn't want. I got out of the taxi, took a deep breath pushing my bangs away, gathering all my courage and got inside.

I see a huge music system, people dancing around and bright lights surrounding the place. This is not the place I belong, honestly, the only thing in my mind was going back home. I stopped near the bartender as he handed me a glass of orange juice and I could feel stares on me along with gossips.

"She looks hot!"

"I told you on the first day itself, I wish she wasn't Namjoon's assistant, I'd try on her."

I pressed my lips lowering my lashes the as I felt alone.

"Hey, you look beautiful," Jimin said as I flushed and bowed to him.

We kept talking, it was fun to be with him and I had a good time. I somehow remember why I am here, I have to find Namjoon.

I was about to leave and look for Namjoon wherein, the minute I turned, I found him sitting right across me.

He was dressed in a blue denim jacket and jeans, a strand of hair was on his face. His sharp jawline and his physique were accentuated. He raised his head to reveal a cold, intense anger filled eyes.

My inner goddess blushed but in reality, I was confused, "Should I smile at him or no? I should act cold. I want to know how he reacts when I pull him on him!"

I was sitting beside Jimin when the producer climbed the stage grabbing everyone's attention, I broke the eye contact with Namjoon and looked at the stage wherein I could still feel his eyes on me. 

"Our music video has already reached 10 million in a day and I'm so proud of my team. Thank you so much for making it such a big hit. Let's dance our heart out today, I don't want anyone seated!" He said while Jimin started to pull my arm getting me to the dance floor and I followed.

I couldn't see Namjoon around. I wanted to clear that Jimin is just a friend and though Mr Choi tried to ask me out, there wasn't anything between us either.

Meanwhile, Jimin started to dance and so did I put my hands in the air and people started dancing. Suddenly, I felt someone hold my wrist. I saw Seokjin sir talking to Jimin and the one who held my wrist was Namjoon.

"Let the boss and the assistant dance, let's have a drink Jimin," he said taking him away.

Namjoon dragged me out of the hall holding onto my wrist. I jerked my wrist from his grip stopping him.

"Enough," I said but he just cut me off and yelled, "You said you weren't going to be in the party and here you are, dancing around and having fun with guys and what's with the dress?"

"Stop judging me, this is a party. What do you expect me to wear? A uniform? You are my boss, I work for you but today is not working day. You can't stop me from whatever I am doing alright," I snapped back.

I didn't want to talk to him anymore. I got inside and ran towards the bartender ordering a glass of wine.

The plan was to know whether he likes me or he doesn't but he doesn't care what I want, all he wants is me to be around him calling him "Namjoon sir, Namjoon sir" all the time.

-

After drinking a glass of wine, I wasn't tipsy much but I wanted to leave but the next minute I saw Seokjin sir beside me. "Hey," he greeted as I bowed.

"Miss Park, I don't know what's happening between you and Namjoon but we have been friends for 7 years. I know he's complicated but that's because he's been through those situations which have made him that way," he paused as I got confused.

"During our struggling days, we didn't have time for anything. We met nobody and were away from family, friends and everyone we loved since we were working on our dream, we couldn't even attend calls and one fine day, we got the news that Namjoon's mom passed away two days ago while he was busy here. He couldn't even see his mom for the last time and since then, things changed for him," he said as I was stunned.

"If he starts caring for people, he gets possessive and overprotective, I hope you understand," he said and was about to leave but I stopped him and asked as to why was he telling me all this.

"I've never seen him care for anyone in a long time but since the day you started working, he drinks less, he's become punctual and works all day without zoning out because you are here too. He's our leader and he's the best but at the same time, there's a void inside him that just got filled maybe because you stay around too."

He paused and explained, "I'm just advising you to be his friend, understand him and be there for him. I didn't tell you all this because I want you to pity him, I just want you to be his friend and not misunderstand him."

I felt bad about talking to him that way. He was trying to keep me safe and I misunderstood.

I decided to go back and apologise. I started to look for him but he wasn't inside the hall. I put a scarf around my neck covering my exposed back and went outside.

-

I saw him standing in the garden of the hotel. I ran close to him as his back was facing me. He didn't even see me but assumed me as Seokjin sir.

"Seokjin hyung, the girl thinks I'm a possessive maniac. Why am I not like those cheesy guys who girls fall in love with very easily? You told me not to tell her who I was or she might hate the other guy what I am as well but now, she hates me so much that she didn't even want to see my face. I wasn't jealous of Jimin, I just wanted to talk to her, apologise for being harsh the other day," he said and I could sense he was drunk as he had a glass in his hand which was half-filled with alcohol.

"I won't stop here anymore, if she wants to leave the job, I'll let her because I am the one at fault. I kissed her thrice, she didn't kiss me back even once and that's because I'm not worth it... Hyung, I---," he was mumbling and I realized how broken he was.

Tears pooled in my eyes, he didn't say whether he likes me or not but he cares for me. I took a step ahead and tapped on his shoulder which made him face me.

I tiptoed to reach his height and pressed my lips on his kissing him gently. I licked my lip and looked away trying to stand straight. "Now I kissed you first," I whispered.

He lowered his lashes and explained, "Jane, I'm drunk, I thought it's Seokjin hyung and I was just blabbering things, don't take it seriously---" he tried to explain but I placed my index finger on his lips and said, "I hate the smell of alcohol but people say the truth when they are drunk," he smiled.

The entire situation was getting too serious. I wanted to have a playful aura.

"Will you dance with me?" I asked and he smiled shyly as his dimples popped. He's angry all the time but right now, he looks different and cute.

"Dance? Me?" He asked widening his eyes like a baby. I tried to pull him towards the hall but it started raining.

He rushed towards the building and take shelter but I stood at the same place and started to enjoy the rain.

"Jane, what are you doing? It's raining heavily," he yelled but instead of listening, I asked him to join me.

He came closer as I was now soaking wet due to the rain. He pulled my waist towards him and intertwined our fingers together as I placed my left hand on his chest.

"I'm sorry," he whispered.
