A faint noise of beeping cars and the bustle of people barely reached the window of the eighteenth-floor apartment. It was one of the perks for living close to the top.

The morning sun shines through the north mirrored wall that faced the buildings of Seoul. It wasn't bright on most days but days like this, where the air was free from dust and pollution it shined brightly in the clear blue sky.

Although the young woman wasn't interested in the scenery for she had her back facing the window while she sat atop a counter stool. The strong aroma of fresh coffee being brewed tickling the hairs in Yuna's nostrils waking her up slightly. Her hands were clasped around a warm cup of coffee as she stared aimlessly into space.

Her eyes landed on the stainless steel stove across from her, then the refrigerator, and then the coffee brewer. She wasn't one to wake up early but this past week she made an effort to get up before her roommate.
Right on cue, she hears a door open in the hallway then a long sigh.

"Seriously, Yuna? You're up again?" Sejun scolds as she makes her way into the kitchen.

Yuna watches her friend open the fridge and grabs cold bottled water. She notices Sejun wore the cute black pencil skirt and white blouse she bought her months ago.

"Huh, so it does look good on you," she hums. "I had my doubts."

Sejun shoots her a dirty glare before taking a sip of water. "Sorry that most of us can't look like an angel in every type of clothing," she grumbles sarcastically.

Yuna winces with an apologetic smile on her lips. She gestures her head to the coffee brewer behind Sejun.

"I made you a cup of coffee for you to take to work." She quickly says making Sejun turn her head.

Sejun smiles lightly to herself before shaking her head. She knew where this was going, this was the fourth time it happened this week.

"Yuna, stop trying to coax me in the morning," she chuckles and turns to her friend. She crosses her arms. "You're not coming with me to work."

"But why?" Yuna whines with a pout.

"You know exactly why, Yuna," Sejun states with a look. "You just want to see him."

Yuna gasps dramatically with her mouth open in shock. "No, I don't." She defends. "I'm--I'm suddenly into video games that's all."

Sejun rolls her eyes at her fat lie. In all the years they've known each other not once has she seen Yuna touch a video game controller or game. They both knew her reason for wanting to come but she decides to entertain her friend just a bit.

"Okay well if you're such a gamer then you tell me what game I'm working on then you can come."

Yuna holds her friend's stare for a long minute. She knew this, she remembered Sejun saying the name the other day. It dealt with swords and guns and she knew what the concept was.

The name was on the tip of her tongue, she could practically taste it. But no matter how hard she racked her small brain no title came to mind. Her cheeks flare crimson as they puff out like a chipmunk's cheeks.

She was no gamer, who would believe that? A loud groan of defeat escapes her lips and she hangs her head in frustration.

"Fine!" She shouts. "I don't know the game."

Sejun smirks in victory, she knew Yuna was lying. She walks out of the kitchen and to entryway slipping on her heels.

"But I still want to come!" She hears Yuna say while following her to the door. She doesn't bother to look back and waves a dismissive hand.

"Save it, Yuna. You're not going to embarrass me by hitting on a guy at my work."

Yuna stops in her tracks with her eyes narrowing. "I'm not going to hit on Mr. Jeon!"

Sejun glances over her shoulder with a frown. "Oh? Then why do you want to come along?"

Yuna hesitates and purses her lips together into a fine line. It has been a week since she saw Mr. Jeon at the restaurant. Even though he said she could call him by his first name she just couldn't herself to do it. She liked calling him that, it made him sound interesting.

Yuna has been wanting to see him again in any way possible. Those short awkward minutes that night wasn't enough.

"I just want to see him," Yuna mumbles while averting her gaze.

Not buying it, Sejun shakes her head in refusal. "Forget it, Yuna. You're not coming." Swiftly she turns to the door and opens it. Yuna takes a step.

"But--"

"Sorry, Yuna!" Sejun quickly apologizes with a smile before closing the door leaving Yuna to stand alone in the entryway.

With a pout prominent on her rosy lips Yuna hunches her shoulders and turns back towards the kitchen. "This is stupid," she grumbles irritably. "What am I going to do there anyway?"

She glances at the time on the stove then sighs tiredly before stalking to her room. Now she has no excuse to miss her photoshoot.

\/\/\/\/\/\/

"You want me to copy all of this?"

"Yes. All of the two hundred papers."

Jungkook takes off his glasses and glances at the pile of papers that were recently placed on his desk. He looks back up at the young man who stood behind his cubicle wall with his arms crossed.

He had to be joking, copying all of this would take hours. He wouldn't have time to get his actual work done.

"Is there a problem Mr. Jeon?" The young man questions with a raised brow. Jungkook holds his stare for a moment longer before looking away.

"There is none, Mr. Bak," He replies stiffly.

"Good. I suggest you get started on those right away," Mr. Bak points out before walking back to his desk.

Jungkook scoffs to himself as he stands up and grabs the stack of papers. The audacity for someone young like him to order him around. What did he look like, his secretary?

For the past week, Mr. Bak has done nothing but give him part of his work to him. Anger simmers in his blood as he walks to the copy room. He's been keeping a tight leash on his temper but if this keeps going then he wouldn't hesitate to beat some sense into that disprespectful punk.

He passes by a few women not noticing that one of them was his boss, Sejun. She witnessed the whole thing and sighs. She already had a talk with Mr. Bak about this but it seems he completely forgot about it or the talk went in one ear and out the other.

Sympathy overpowers her once she heard the soft murmurs of the women around her.

"Oh, why is Mr. Bak picking on Mr. Jeon?" One asks worriedly.

"It's probably because he's the new guy." Another answer with a shake of her head.

"But that's unfair!" The same woman who asked the question whines. "He's too hot for that type of treatment."

Sejun rolls her eyes and walks past them and towards the copy room. She opens the door and finds Jungkook hunched over the copy machine scanning each paper one by one.

He barely hears the door open and glances to his left. Surprised to see his boss standing at the doorway he immediately straightens his spine and bows politely.

"Ms. Guri, good morning!" He greets. Sejun smiles lightly but that quickly disappears when she glances back at the stack of papers.

"What are you doing?" She inquires. Jungkook follows her gaze and sighs inwardly.

"Copying papers," he answers dully.

"Who told you to do it?"

"Mr. Bak," Jungkook replies. Sejun shakes her head disapprovingly causing Jungkook to stare at her curiously.

"Stop doing it," she demands. "I'll get him to do it."

"Are you sure?" Jungkook quickly asks. "I'm already here--"

"Yes." She replies. "He's going to stay overtime and do it himself." And he's going to have one hell of a scolding later, she adds in her head.

Silently Jungkook nods and shifts awkwardly on the balls of his feet. He wonders if she saw everything.

"Well, I must get back to work." He bows quickly before walking past Sejun.

"Just a moment." He hears her say loudly behind him. He stops walking and turns around. Sejun gestures her head to the break room across the hall.

"I have something to ask, is that okay?"

Jungkook frowns thoughtfully before nodding his head in agreement. Sejun smiles happily and leads him to the break room. Jungkook had no idea what she wanted to ask but he assumed it was about work.

He wasn't nervous, he only worked here for a week after all. When Jungkook closes the door behind him and sees Sejun grab herself a cup of coffee he takes a seat at the table.

"What is it?" He asks with a puzzled look. Sejun takes the seat across from him and clasps the cup between her hands. She stares at Jungkook with a small pout and cocks her head.

"You know Yuna, right?" She questions. "The friend I invited to the get-together?"

Jungkook resists the urge to grimace, how could he forget? Yuna was the strange woman who had the most intense gaze he ever saw. A woman never made him that uncomfortable before.

"Yes," he answers slowly. "Why do you ask?"

Sejun simply shrugs and takes a sip of her coffee. "No particular reason," she answers casually. "I'm curious if you two got close, that's all."

Immediately Jungkook's burn crimson and a loud sheepish laugh escape his lips. "Of course not!" He answers too loudly. "We only spoke for a few minutes, that's all."

Sejun silently nods, if it was only for a few minutes then why was Yuna hooked on him? There wasn't anything interesting Jungkook had to offer in that short amount of time.

Jungkook eyes his boss with cautious, confused eyes. He wondered why Sejun was suddenly asking him about Yuna. He hasn't thought of her until she brought it up. Remembering the reason why Sejun invited Yuna, Jungkook straightens his shoulders and takes in a breath.

"If I may, Ms. Guri, but can I ask you something?"

Jumping out of her thoughts Sejun blinks twice at Jungkook before nodding. "Of course, what is it?"

Biting the inside of his cheek Jungkook stares at Sejun with an unwavering gaze. "Did you tell her about me?"

Confused by the question Sejun raises a brow with a frown. "What do you mean?"

"I mean, did you tell her about my situation as a single parent?" He clarifies.

Sejun thinks over his question as she tries to remember the time she told Yuna. But such a time never popped into her mind, although she knew why Jungkook asked.

"Oh, no I haven't," she answers. "I forgot to tell her about the babysitting thing. If you want I can text her--"

"No, that's okay." Jungkook quickly refuses to cause Sejun to send him a confused look.

"But I think it would be beneficial."

"No, it's quite alright, Ms. Guri," Jungkook declines as politely as he could. "I would be comfortable if you keep this between us."

He didn't want another person besides his boss to know of his situation. Especially a stranger he barely knows.
Surely, Sejun would understand.

Fortunately, she did. She knew the hard judgment that was already placed upon him for having a child while he was single. She didn't want to admit it but she was part of that certain group.

Why was he single? Is there a reason why it was just him and his kid? How can he live with the hardship of raising a child alone?

But of course, she won't pry for answers since it was his personal life. With a heavy sigh, she nods in agreement.

"Yes, it'll stay between us."

Relieved a small smile breaks across his lips. "Thank you."

She watches Jungkook stand and she follows his lead. Silently they walk side by side back to the department area. Jungkook sits in his seat ignoring Mr. Bak's glare.

Sejun on the other hand, doesn't go to her desk just yet. She makes her way to her desk throwing her purse to stop her stacked papers. Letting out a loose sigh her gaze aimlessly trials to Jungkook.

She watches him work as she ponders to herself. Should she tell him about Yuna's questioning interest in him? It would be awkward to say the least, after all the two are barely acquaintances.

She shakes her tiredly and looks away. No, she'll stay out of it. She was already getting a headache just thinking about it.

A low buzzing sound came from her purse, Sejun looks at it question lay before pulling out her phone. She sees a text notification and presses it. Her eyes widen in shock before a small whine escapes her lips.

"Damn it," she curses as she hangs her head.

Why was she being a pain in her ass? If Yuna was serious about showing up here after work then there'll be hell to pay.
