What in the name of Hagrid's pants!!?

Jeongguk froze at the sight which greeted his rapidly widening eyes. He stood dumbfounded, his facial muscles twitching in shock. Beside him, the guy named jimin was rather chill. He simply cleared his throat giving jeongguk a fleeting 'ah it's common here' gaze before looking away with a face that didn't betray anything.

Infront of them, a woman with streaming blonde hair lay unconscious atop a large sturdy mahogany desk placed squarely in the middle of an equally large room. She was covered with a coat suit, her rumpled dress bunching at the thighs, while a man, who jeongguk presumed to be the owner of the coat and director (!?) was buttoning the cuffs of his noticeable wrinkled shirt. He heaved a light sigh and fished a cigar out of his pocket before focussing his attention on them, his attention sweeping over jeongguk before landing over jimin.

The stench of burnt tobacco and sex permeated and lingered in the air.

"Ah, an unconventional time, my apologies director" Jimin bowed a little, his voice sterile. He wasn't even looking at the woman, and jeongguk had an almost certain feeling jimin was used to seeing this.

this revelation made an earlier sense of desolated doom creep back at the back of jeongguk's mind. He felt awkward and didn't know where to land his eyes on.

This was certainly not what he had imagined.. well he wasn't technically expecting a grumpy meaty guy with floppy jowels, warts on his nose and mini Abu Dhabi for a belly when jimin mentioned that the director was hard to get along with. But this-

The scene made jeongguk's eyebrows twitch and his breakfast to roll inside his stomach. Was this the type of employer he'd be under? It's not like he has never heard of playboy directors before but meeting one in person and reading about them were two different experiences. Perhaps he was too rash in his position acceptance decisions..

"No it's fine, I was about to call for you anyways. I've already arranged for a driver, escort her out and see that she reaches home safely"

The director's voice was really deep and rougher as he spoke nonchalantly gesturing to his right. Jimin nodded, "very well sir" and finally seemed to notice the sprawled girl. he walked a few steps towards the table. With businesslike attitude and deft efficiency he arranged the girl's clothings into more appropriate state and gently draped his own coat over her while removing the director's and laying it aside on a chair.

The black haired tall man meanwhile walked behind his table and sat down.
Leaning back he puffed few drags of his cigar and then looked up with a casual aloof glance. " So I suppose this is the new secretary namjoon was mentioning earlier?"

Jimin acknowledged while carefully lifting the figure in his arms. Although his stature was slender he picked the girl up easily in his arms. She stirred lightly murmuring under her breath eyes still closed. " Director this is jeon jeongguk from production department, I've already reviewed his papers earlier" he said, " basing on his records, I thought a personal interview would be better for him to get the hang of things around here"

"Hmm?" The director listened and jeongguk felt his gaze switch over to him.

This was where he was supposed to bow and offer his professional proficient secretary smile but at the moment jeongguk was at a loss for action and words.

He was going through various shades under the awkward embarrassment palette, ranging from bright crimson to green. Firstly he was yet to overcome his earlier shaken self but after hearing that deep resonating voice it was as if his mind functions had started glitching.

"Ok so..?"

Feeling the room go silent and others look at him, Jeongguk adjusted his glasses, his eyes meekly lowering. He didn't know why but he couldn't bring himself to look directly at the director's face which was ridiculous considering their situation right now. And the fact that never happened before.

"Good morning director, my name is jeon jeongguk from the production sector. Ive been recently appointed here. I look forward to working as your secretary" jeongguk bowed, his practised words smoothly flowing out. He spotted a small rectangular name plaque and read the words inscribed.

Kim taehyung, director financial department, Kim corps.

Director kim or taehyung waved his hand at jimin dismissing him with a " you can leave first". Jimin slightly inclined his head and smiling briefly at jeongguk left the room in strides with the girl in his arms.

Jeongguk straightened up, cautiously moving his eyes and placed the files in his hands on the table politely. He moved a few steps back as he saw taehyung stretch forward slightly to grab one document.

" Jeon jeongguk..huh..." Taehyung blew vapour as he flipped through the pages, skimming the details quickly.

Something about the way he called his name made a queer knotty feeling in jeongguk's tummy which he thought must have been the result of eating leftover sausages for breakfast.

" Ye-yes sir..." Fuck did I stutter just now!?

Taehyung looked up at jeongguk" your records are well, impressive as park says. You joined two years ago but have already made remarkable progress and shown skills.." Taehyung said, eyeing jeongguk who still didn't met his gaze. He smiled little nervously " I'm afraid so sir"

Taehyung hummed sizing up jeongguk from head to toe, "excellent qualifications indeed..."

Jeongguk felt queasy under his gaze and coughed to clear the dryness of his throat. Before he could say something taehyung beat him to it.

"See yourself out of here"

Jeongguk ". . . . . "

Taehyung pushed his resume across the table and leaned back in his chair.

"Or in simple language, you can get out"

Jeongguk "!??????!!?"

These sudden unexpected words caused the younger to finally whip his alarmed gaze up and look at taehyung.

A pair of briliant golden brown eyes met jeongguk's, their cold and alluring aloofness alighting jeongguk's stare. An exceedingly handsome face with well proportioned cheekbones, a sharp nose and elegant lips set in a way of omniscient curve which was both sardonic and arrogant. For a few seconds jeongguk found himself staring unable to get a word past his lips as he looked at taehyung in miffed and struck bafflement before muttering out an "excuse me...?"

The other obviously was completely on a different wavelength. Taehyung's eyes squinted, arched brows lifting a little and his lips pressed in an frowned line, "you heard me. And while you are at it send someone on your way out of here" he said in that carefree, extremely superior tone of his.

This broke jeongguk's trance and he widened his eyes. He was weirded out. Are you kidding me? What sort of split second blatant dismissal was that!? based on what grounds!? Jeongguk frowned but still he asked patiently in a respectable tone " pardon my inquisition but might I know the reason behind my sudden rejection sir?" He tried to water down his surprise and sound more professional.

Taehyung took another puff, his eyebrows narrowing as if he found the question irritating." well, you don't look appealing at all. You don't have boobs isn't that reason enough? "

" Qualifications and achievements are all right but what use of such a secretary do I need who can't even meet my eyes nor got looks? You think I'd actually let you work in that boring looking appearance of yours?"

Taehyung replied shrugging, as if he were discussing which curtains would be fitting for his apartment living room.
The more jeongguk heard the more stunned he was.

What the hell was this guy's problem!? Was he actually serious right now!? Jeongguk thought in exasperated disbelief. His jaw slackened. Where am I? In A Kpop trainee audition!!?

"Secondly, I need a secretary, not a freaking bunny faced male in glasses. You are here for the post of a private secretary. Without charms and attractive features, do you even expect anyone to take you seriously?"

Jeongguk, ". . . . . "

Say no more..heh.

Jeongguk bit the inside of his mouth. Oh, so this was one of those discriminative, shallow prejudicing barbaric assholes huh..? The type which cared for boobs more than brains. Certified piece of shit with character issues.

God, he really hated these particular species of the mammalia kingdom. Why him of all people??

Jeongguk cleared his throat, schooling his initial blown away expression to a more mature cool and important. He resisted the urge to grab the black haired person sitting causally infront of him by his collar and shoving that cigarette down his throat. Instead he replied in a far more sweeter voice,

" Excuse me director, i'm aware of my physical attributes and I'm deeply sorry if you find me lacking in certain..ways.. but as far as I remember, there was nothing mentioned in the requirement sections about specific gender preferences or visual importance. Also it is regrettable for a person of your calibre and position to judge me without even giving me a chance"

Jeongguk said slowly summoning in his inner self righteous ass and justice sounding impactful voice.

Taehyung raised one of his eyebrow. His gaze turned frostier with mild surprise and cynical. He spoke after a while" Its up to me whom I hire or fire" he said with a smile that was more of a sneer

It only fuelled jeongguk more instead of intimidating him.

"Indeed yes, but to ascertain a person's capabilities merely based on their physical looks reflects really negatively on a director's image. Especially considering the authority you hold. If it's not much of a problem could you keep me on the post for a while and then judge me?"

He retorted still smiling while internally he aimed two middle fingers towards taehyung.

This time, Taehyung's both eyebrows lazily elevated with sardonic amusement Almost disappearing into his hairline followed by a stretch of silence. " I don't like a secretary who talks above their bosses and opposes their superior's orders"

" Oh, but that wasn't an opposition but a suggestion on my part"

Taehyung fell silent pining jeongguk with his gaze that reminded the younger of those macho alpha lions he saw in national geographic documentaries.

"Very well in that case..." taehyung huffed and snubbed his cigar in a side tray.

In that case? What now?

Jeongguk contemplated if taehyung was thinking of more ways of belittling and rejecting him and if Jeongguk might as well concede defeat before that and leave.

Hold up- if he gets fired despite his heavy choices of words..there was always hope ahead. If anything he will get a chance to go back to the production sector...maybe.

Jeongguk thought positively and made up his mind to apologise and leave. He parted his lips to speak but was cut off by taehyung.

" Fine then," the other suddenly spoke, startling jeongguk out of his happy happy scheming thoughts.

" You have much confidence in yourself don't you? Lets see if your working skills match your eloquent words, shall we." Taehyung said looking at jeongguk with those same scrutinizing gaze, his lips curled up in a smile that didn't really seem like a smile and had the potential of making someone sweat balls.

Jeongguk ". . . . . . (• ▽ •;)"

Jeongguk gulped. maybe he did speak too much eh. He was starting to feel like a trapped prey under his eyes.

Nevertheless he bravely plodd on not wanting to lose face, " Thank yo- " he began was cut off abruptly by the fat sounds of a series of clack! clack! clack!

Jeongguk '?????'

"Process this pile here into four categories of data and based on these datas prepare the charts for the upcoming presentation. Then prepare the chart for tomorrow's schedules and plan out meetings accordingly"

"After that arrange the notices and invitations into emails and send all the compiled data systematically into my laptop for me to review. You can't ask me stupid questions. For that refer to the old datas records"

Jeongguk was about to ask if this was everything he had got since the turnip head was clearly trying to start something here but taehyung continued again

" But one fucking mistake and you are fired. I would not allow you even to work for production sector..or any other sector for that matter. How's that ?" Taehyung said menacingly.

He looked at Jeongguk in a challengingly looking down look as if in an attempt to stress him.

But jeongguk serenly smiled, his own stare defying " Understood sir" much to taehyung's irked surprise.

"It'll be done and I will do my best not to commit any mistakes" jeongguk replied with a bow, his teeth twitching with fake sugar. "Anything else ?"

Taehyung stroked his chin. He was clearly pissed having failed in his sabotage attempts. After a while he suddenly clicked his tongue. " Yeah the babe from earlier? She's the daughter of choi family of banks. Buy suitable presents for her and send it in my name ok?"

Ha ha ha ... Wait- what the fuck?.. jeongguk's smile turned sour in his face. " Daughter.. of the banking family.. presents...?" He trailed off lost

"Yeah and also don't connect calls from women who aren't listed in my adress book, be mindful of that" taehyung said with a merciless smile. " You think you up for it?''

Jeongguk nodded, forcing himself to smile through, " it'll be taken care of" he said rising up to the challenge deducing that perhaps he might even have to clean up after his boss's affairs. Jeongguk didn't know if he should laugh or cry about it.

"Yeah whatever. go to park jimin. He will assign you your work area. Finish the Everything by today" taehyung flicked his hand and said in an dull apathetic manner.

The intercom on taehyung's table buzzed and he shifted his focus from jeongguk gesturing him to leave. Jeongguk bowed and turned back. Before he could reach for the door, the knob twisted and the door flung open revealing a pretty girl in curls and jeans.

"Taehyung oppa!" The girl gracefully flew in ignoring jeongguk's existence. Taehyung got up, receiving her in his arms with a sickeningly indulging droopy eyed smile.

"Oppa! Im so sorry to bother you during your work but I had gotten a break earlier and thought..." she babbled unbearably in a coquettish way looping her arms around the other's neck.

Jeongguk mentally cringed gagged
" I shall be here with the files later"
he bowed and left.

Once outside jeongguk stood at the corridor for a short amount of time to recover his high stretched nerves from whatever that had happened inside earlier. He looked down and found his palms were sweaty. slowly wiping them clean, his mind began a careful analysis of the just transpired events.

Fuck, jeongguk had not imagine director Kim taehyung to be this annoying and arrogant. He was much more of a rogue than what the rumours painted him to be. what a cursed luck. How was he going to last under a jerk like this whose first impression was that ridiculous and miffed to him? But words were spoken. The orders were executed. It was either this or go back home. And Jeon jeongguk wasn't someone who backed off easily. For a passionate obstinate person like him, this was just another of his life challenges he'd cross. He'd have to make it work. Or else..

An imaginary taehyung with a taunting 'ha bitch told you couldn't' smile flashed in his mind.

Ugh, jeongguk glared instantly deciding on the spot. He would show him what he was capable of. Other than that he concluded being cautious and on guard around his new boss would be better for him.

Kim taehyung, this biased snob was nothing like namjoon. But jeongguk wouldn't lose to his prejudicing ass. He wasn't going to back off without giving his best.

With a hardened and ruthless resolve jeongguk confidently walked away towards the lifts.

Meanwhile back in his room, taehyung couldn't help but think about his newly appointed secretary. Something about that boy had piqued and twiched taehyung's Interests and maybe, just maybe it would be interesting to have this fiesty bunny faced secretary around him for a while. He wanted to see how things would go. Until now it was always the same girls with bashful smiles and flustered laughs who'd end up falling for him and harbouring fantasies just months after working and eventually get fired. Truth to be told taehyung was bored of this cycle. So perhaps a change would be fun and amusing He thought smirking

But Little did he knew what he was signing up for by agreeing to hire jeongguk as a private secretary.

And with that being said, this was how the adventures of our midnight secretary under his egoistic asshole of a boss began. But what if there's more to it? Something totally out of his wildest imagination?

A/n: jeongguk later at home, writting in his diary be like :

" Dear diary it's me again, today felt like a very very shitty field day. I don't think I've ever gone that many times OJO, OwO and ヘ（。□°）ヘ in any of my first meeting interviews before. I hope the new director's dick gets fungus and sir namjoon for president amen. "
