CHAPTER 20

You entered the restaurant an early Monday morning; it was still early so you decided to grab a quick cup of tea before going to Hoseok's office.
While you were sitting at the bar, going through some of your work files, you noticed a girl wandering around the place.

She seemed nervous and lost so you decided to approach her and ask if she needed help.
"Hi. Do you need help?" you smiled at her cordially.
"Hi, yes thank you. Today is my first day at work and I have to find this place" she handed you a piece of paper "Only I don't know where exactly to go" she flicked her long, voluminous black hair back before giving you a timid smile.
She was stunning you thought.
She had a beautiful timid smile and big doe eyes. Her dark hair complimented her fare skin quite nicely.

"Oh yes, it is a little bit tricky. You have to walk all the way in the back and then take the elevator to the first floor" you informed her "I can show you if you want".
"Oh, that's not necessary. I don't want to trouble you but thank you" she shook her hands in front of you.
"It's no trouble really. I'm going there anyway. Come" you gestured her to come with you.

"So do you work here as well?" she asked you while you two were walking.
"Yes. I'm in the PR department. Where will you be working?" you pressed the lift button.
"I applied for the assistant position" she answered.

"Oh so you'll be working directly with Namjoon, Kook and Tae".
"I'm sorry?" she looked at you confused.
"Sorry. I meant Kim Namjoon, Kim Taehyung and Jeon Jungkook" you quickly recomposed yourself as you entered the elevator.
"Oh yes. I'm their new assistant" she smiled at you "I'm quite nervous" she admitted.
"Don't be. They're nice guys and if you do your job properly you'll gain their respect quite easily" you reassured her.

"Do you know them well?" she asked you. You smiled.

"I do. I know them pretty well. And trust me when I say that you're in good hands here".
"Thank you. That means a lot" she smiled relived.

"Your Korean is pretty great for a foreigner" she timidly said "How long have you been in Korea?"
"I moved here six months ago but I learnt the language years ago. My best friend is Korean so when I met her I got interested in the language and culture"
"That's nice" you exited the elevator together.

"Here" you showed her Namjoon's office "you're supposed to meet them here".
"Thank you so much" she sincerely said "I'm Seo Yuna".

"Y/n" you presented yourself "Break a leg today".

"Thank you" she said before knocking and entering in.

You watched her go in before a pair of arms had wrapped around your waist.
You turned around only to meet Taehyung's eyes.

"Morning" he rested his forehead onto yours.
"Morning" you replied "You look handsome today" you eyed him down.
The dark green suit and the matching vest underneath complimented his skin beautifully, while also making his eyes stand out more. The slicked-back hair was exposing his forehead, giving him a serious and yet sexy vibe.

"Thank you" he gave you a cute smile.

You pulled him by his tie closer to you, making your lips align.
You kissed him sweetly. Taehyung kissed you back while bringing his hand to the back of your head.

"Are we going to your place after work?" you smiled as you looked at him in the eyes.
"Not today. I have a business dinner I should attend to" Taehyung explained "Today is my turn" he chuckled.

"So Namjoon and Jungkook won't be coming with you?"
He shook his head.

"Want me to come with you?" you offered, your hands still behind his neck.

"There's no need, but thank you Y/n" he gave you a peck on the lips.

"I promise I'll make it up to you tomorrow evening" he caressed your cheek before letting you go.

"I have to go now. Today is our assistant's first day" he said.

"I know. I already met her downstairs. She's cute" you said.

"Yeah well I don't need her to be cute but to get the job done" Taehyung said "Hiring an assistant was Namjoon's idea. I was against it"
"Clearly" you giggled.
Taehyung smiled at you before giving you another peck on the lips.

"I love your laugh" he said against your lips.

"And I love you" you smiled at him.

Taehyung looked in your eyes as a timid smile formed on his lips.

"Now I don't want to leave your side" he exhaled.

"Go" you slightly pushed him towards the door as you giggled.

" Y/n-ah!" you heard Hoseok's voice through the door "I can hear you Y/n-ah! Get your butt over here, we have work to do"

"I swear to you he's everywhere" you pointed at Hoseok's office as you whispered.

"I know" Taehyung laughed "Good luck".

"Thank you. You too".

You went to grab your second cup of tea for the day after a few hours. In doing so you bumped into Yuna.

"Hi. How is it going? Still feeling nervous?" you asked her.

"Hi. No, not at all" she smiled "You were right. They are nice guys. Strict but nice".

"Well...they care about this a lot" you explained "It's their life's work".

"Yes, naturally. They're so successful despite being so young. They're...quite something" she brought her gaze down to the floor as she blushed.

Seeing her react like that made your breath shorten. All of a sudden you felt the need to clarify that they were off-limits.
Well... just Taehyung really, the others not so much. But none the less you didn't like it.

At that same moment Jungkook exited his office.

Yuna instantly stiffened, not knowing what to do.

"Mr. Jeon I was about to head to your office" she apologized.

Jungkook gave you two a look before reaching you.

"I just stopped to chat with a coworker that I met earlier. I'm sorry" she looked at the floor, embarrassed.
"Y/n, stop distracting my employees" Jungkook used a fake strict tone.
"If I catch you two wasting time again I'm going to have to let you go" he continued to scold you.
Yuna instantly froze on the spot before looking at you frightened.
You gave her a reassuring smile.

"He's just joking around Yuna" you said as you rested your forearm on Jungkook's shoulder.

"He can't fire me even if he wanted to" you eyed him down.

Jungkook scoffed before answering.
"Is that so?" he raised an eyebrow while looking at you in the yes.

"Yes. You need me here Jeon Jungkook" you said cockily.

"Maybe I do" Jungkook smirked.

You two looked at each other for a couple of seconds, making Yuna feel uncomfortable.
She sensed some tension between the two of you.

"Anyway" you looked away from him "you'll get used to the work environment here pretty quickly".

Yuna gave you a cordial smile.
"I have to go now" you looked at your watch "Talk to you later?" you gave a glance at Jungkook who nodded in your direction.
You went back to your office, adamant to continue your work.

After you were finished for the day you decided to go to Taehyung's office, just to say goodbye to him.
You were surprised to see Yuna there as well, sitting on the opposite side of his office desk. You were going to have to get used to her being kind of all over the place.

"I'm sorry. Is it bad timing?" you asked, leaning on the doorframe.
"Not at all. Come in" Taehyung assured you.
You walked towards him as he stood up from his chair to greet you.

"What can I do for you?" he smiled lovingly in your direction.
"I was just going to say goodbye to you before going home. And to say good luck for later this evening"
you wrapped your hands around his neck as he put his on your hips.
Seeing you two interact confused Yuna.

"Oh how rude of me. Yuna meet my girlfriend, Y/n" he then let go of you, holding you only by your hand.

"Oh so you two are together? I thought...never mind" she quickly stopped herself.

"Yes. We are a couple and work together as well" Taehyung informed her.

"I'll see you tomorrow ok?" he smiled at you.

"All right" you kissed him on his cheek.

"Bye Yuna"
She waved back at you as you exited his office.

You were lying on your bed, bored.
You watched seconds pass by on your watch before rolling around your bed.

8pm

Do you want to hang out tonight?

You typed before thinking it through. In a couple of seconds a reply arrived.

Jeon Jungkook
8pm

I'll pick you up in half an hour.

You smiled at the screen.
You loved that Jungkook was always there for you. Always in the mood to hang out.

You quickly got ready before receiving a second text from him, telling you to come down.
You grabbed your purse and headed out to meet him.
Jungkook was wearing a leather jacket, a black t-shirt underneath, black tight pants and a pair of combat boots.
He was leaning against his car, waiting for you.

"You look great tonight" he complimented you.

"Why thank you Kookie, you don't look bad either" you winked at him before entering the car.

"What do you want to do tonight?" Jungkook asked you once you were both inside.
"Let's go out!" you said exited.
"Out? In my club?".
"No not in your club".
"Why would we go to a different club when we can go to mine's?".
"No. I don't want to go to a club Jungkook" you chuckled at him "Let's go on the streets of Seoul" you said thrilled.

"Seoul? I've seen Seoul. You've seen Seoul" Jungkook said confused.

"No I haven't. I mean...I have but as a tourist. I want you to take me to see the real city of Seoul".
"Y/n, why can't we have a quiet night at my place?" Jungkook sighed.

"Oh come on. We always play videogames or watch movies at your place. Let's do something different tonight. Please" you begged him with your eyes.

"Not the puppy eyes Y/n" Jungkook chuckled before breaking eye contact with you, rolling his eyes.
"Ah! Fine, come on" he then gave in "can't say no to you when you look me like that" he scoffed while turning the car engine on.

"Thank you Kookie" you smiled happily at him.

Time flew by in Jungkook's company. In a mere couple of hours you've managed to take a quick bite on the streets of Seoul, ride the subway a couple of times, go in bars to drink cheap soju and take a walk near the Han River.

"I want to show you something" Jungkook said before grabbing your hand.

You were surprised by his behavior but you let yourself be guided by him through the busy streets of the city.

"Where are we going?" you asked him.

"You'll see. We are near it" he said without giving you an explanation.

You walked until you reached a tall business building.

"We are going in" he said to you once he saw your confused expression.

"What? In here? Why?".

"You'll see".

"But it's closed Jungkook" you pointed at the dark and empty ground floor "how are we supposed to get in?".

"Just trust me on this, Y/n" he reassured you before dragging you at the back of the building, his hand still holding yours.

You reached a small back door and Jungkook released your hand. With a swift motion he gave a push to the door, making it open easily.

"This is trespassing. We could get in serious trouble" you pointed out.

"Don't you trust me?" he said as he reached you.

"No" you admitted making him smile.

"Great. Now get in before someone sees us" he hurried you.

You walked the stairs all the way up, reaching the roof of the building.
Jungkook reached the corners of the doorframe with his hands. You watched him smile once his fingers recognized the familiar shape of a small key.

"I knew they were still keeping this here" he muttered satisfied to himself before opening the door.
He gestured you to exit the door, following you right after.

Your mouth fell agape once you saw the view.
You could see all of Seoul on top of that building. Thousands upon thousands of flickering lights covered the capital, creating the illusion of a current flowing among the buildings.
Like a pulsing heart, the city seemed alive. A breathing organism with a life on its own.
You were living six month in Seoul and yet everyday she seemed to amaze you more and more.

"Kookie, this is stunning" you walked passed him, reaching the edge of the building "How did you find this place?" you turned around to face him.

"It has been my favorite hiding spot since I came to Seoul" he said while approaching you.

"I used to come here often. Whenever I felt overwhelmed or sad" he rested his gaze on the city as he stood right beside you.

You observed his profile; under the city lights he seemed even more beautiful. Suddenly he wasn't that force of nature that he was during the day, at work.
You didn't know if it was due to the way he dressed that evening or because of the lights but, that night on top of that roof, he looked like and average man in his mid-twenties; young, wild and carefree.

"It's been a while since I came here, though" he looked at you, making your heart skip a beat.

You didn't care that your heart skipped a beat, all you wanted to do was be there, on that roof with him.

"And look" he added "If you lie here you can actually see the stars up in the sky" he urged you to follow him.
He lay on the ground, inviting you to do the same.

"Isn't it amazing?" he asked once you were both lying next to each other.

"It is" you smiled while looking at the sky. It was impossible to see the stars in the city so to be able to do that was mesmerizing to you.

"I bet you brought lots of girls up here" you chuckled.

Jungkook furrowed his forehead before turning on his side, facing you.

"I haven't brought anyone up here. Not even the guys now about it" he admitted "you're the first person that I've ever shown this place".

You felt suddenly dizzy.
A warm feeling spread all over your body, making you suddenly too warm.

"I don't believe it" you tried to turn it on the joking side.

"I bet you've brought dozens of girls up here. I bet it's one of your moves" you said with a playful tone.

"My moves?" Jungkook chuckled, entertained.

"Yes" you turned to face him as well "This is the move. What are your other moves?" you asked him.

"My other moves?" Jungkook rested his head on the palm of his hand.

"Yes, you know...With girls?" you asked as you blushed. Fortunately is was too dark for Jungkook to notice.

"I'm not telling you that" Jungkook sighed as a smile formed on his lips while bringing his head back to the floor, facing the sky once again.

"Oh come on. Why not?" you slapped him on his chest, making him laugh.
"It'll be like two girls over a drink, sharing stories about boys. Go" you urged him.

"Wow, thank you".

"What would be your move as you seduced Yuna for example?" you dared to ask. You noticed the way she looked at him that morning. It was obvious that she liked him. Who wouldn't?

Jungkook furrowed his brows as a confused expression had formed on his face.
"Yuna? Why would I care about Yuna?".

"I think she likes you" you breathed out, your heart beating fast.

Jungkook shrugged his shoulders.
"She isn't really my type" he said before shifting to the side, facing you once again.

"Oh" you did your best to hide a smile.

"Why don't you ask me who's my type?" Jungkook pushed. His eyes burnt into yours.

"I don't think I want to know" you sighed as you sat up "I think we should go. It's getting pretty late".

Some things were better left unspoken of.

Jungkook sighed before standing up.
"Come on. I'll drive you home" he offered you his hand to aid you getting up.

The ride home was silent. Jungkook and you didn't say a word to each other.

"Thank you for the ride home. And for the evening, I had a great time" you said to him before getting out of the car.

"Y/n, wait" Jungkook followed you out.

"Next week I'm going to Busan for work. I need you to come with me as my translator" he said "It'll be a short trip. Only two days".

"You'll have to ask Hoseok that" you said coldly. All you wanted to do was to get the hell away from him.

"And I will but I wanted to ask you first" Jungkook said "can you come?".

"Sure. Talk to Hoseok tomorrow" you gave him a quick smile before basically running away.
You reached your apartment quickly.

"Where the hell have you been?" Hoseok was sitting in the living room when you entered.
You ignored him as you went in your room, eager to go to bed.

"Y/n? Is everything all right?" A veil of concern had tinted Hoseok's voice.

"I'm fine Hobi. Just tired. See you tomorrow" you said before closing the door behind you.

You couldn't handle a two day trip to Busan with Jungkook.
