Chapter 3

"Min?" I heard a familiar voice speak up.

I quickly lifted my head and found myself in a couch. I quickly got up and looked around, I was in a big black and grey room. I was surprised to spot a woman in the corner of the room.

"Moro?" I asked as I approached the woman.

"Oh good, you're finally back. I have important matters to speak with you about."

Moro was one of my only true friends, sure I knew many people but I never truly felt happiness from their presence, nor did they seem to enjoy my company. As for Moro, she always listened to me and she kept me company, even if she wasn't real.

Moro was a xiezhi. A xiezhi is a Korean Spirit that keeps all of South Korea from complete destruction.

"What is it?" I sat by the woman.

"Well you have to promise to believe me."

I nodded, answering her request.

"I'm going to die. Even xiezhi don't live forever."

"Moro, you do know your a figment of my imagination right?" I asked.

"But that's just it. I'm real. And soon Korea will fall into a fast downward plunge."

"Look Moro I live talking to you  but your kinda acting strange."

"Fine, I'll send you back to your life but I will prove to you. I'll prove the downfall and I'm going o need you to stay clam when I do. It's only a matter of time." Moro spoke and snapped her fingers when she finished. And with that I got back.

Bang!

I felt a sharpe pair against my nose. I quickly grabbed it and yelped.

My phone was buzzing really loud on the desk so I slid it open and it stopped.

4:15.

That should be enough time to get home and change before the meeting. After standing I grabbed my jacket from off the chair and put it on, placing my phone back in its place of honor.

Once I was out of my office I closed the door and turned back. There was a dark figure in front of Mr. Han's office the figure turns to me and I almost choked. Was that Moro's sign, no she's not real idiot even so why would she send someone.

It took a second for my eyes to adjust but I realized it was him.

"Oh hello sir, your up early." I spoke.

"I could say the same for you Miss.Kyong."

" I finished the official report for later. So I will see you at the meeting then sir."

"Good, I'm sure it's great."

I quickly blushed, didn't Jaehee say he was a jerk, I then quickly turned towards the elevator room and began walking.

I clicked the familiar gold down button and waited. Let's say Moro was going to die. I thought, then wouldn't the balance of destruction be destroyed and the world would fall into complete chaos.

Once the elevator arrived and I quickly got back to the ground level I turned on my flashlight. As I stumbled around the lobby of the offices I managed to trip and face plant.

I quickly took off my heels and got up, "I'm so not in the mood" I said to the pumps and gripped them tight.

I managed to get out of the building without falling again and began down the street.
Everything was practically closed except for a few bars, it was tempting but I had to get home quick, shower dress and make it back to work before the meeting.  As I was walking a man was limping in the opposite direction as me, he seemed drunk so I payed it now matter when she ran into me. He grabbed my coat as support to hold him up. He apologized and got back in his way.

After slugging down the remainder of the empty street I finally reached my apartment building.

I reached to grab my keys from out of my pocket but I felt nothing I grabbed my phone out and turned it inside out.

"Damn," I scoffed

Maybe I left it back at the office. And with that I scuffed my feet all the way back to work and to my office. I checked everywhere but nothing. Then it clicked, the drunk.

I completely spaced that my wallet was also gone along with my keys.

"Just my luck." I plopped down onto my chair.

"Back so soon?" I heard a familiar voice chime into my office.

I quickly spun my chair towards the source.

"Well I actually got pick pocketed. I couldn't get into my apartment and they took my wallet too so I have nothing now."

Mr. Han seemed to be lost in thought after my comment.
"Sir?" I asked and he quickly snapped out of it.

"Ah yes, this may sound unprofessional but I have some extra things if you need to barrow a fresh pair of clothes. The guest restroom is upstairs and I could supply you with clothes for the day." Mr.Han looked at me and smiled.

"R-REALLY?!" I questioned the man. "I um. Okay." I awkwardly stood up and knit my fingers together.

"I will show you up then." He exited the door way and I followed. Once the elevator arrived we both got in but instead of hitting a floor he swiped a card and hit the letter A.

It took about 30 seconds until we arrived in the right floor. The doors slid open and we stepped out. There was a long hallway and a lonely door was located on the opposing side.

Once inside I was greeted by a giant open and modern styled room. It was beautiful and elegant I couldn't help but stand awestruck.

"The guest room is down the middle corridor and to the right. The guest bath is in there. I will leave your clothes outside of the room."He spoke

"Yes sir." I nodded and took one last glance at the big room.

"Min?"

"Hm?" I hummed and looked to Mr. Han surprised that he had called me by my first name.

"You can call me Jumin outside of work, only because its simpler to say." He spoke in a hushed tone.

"Y-yes sir, I mean Jumin." I squeaked at my mistake.

The guest room was like a master room, I couldn't even imagine how extravagant Jumin's room must be. I scampered into the bathroom. It had bowl sinks and a waterfall shower head.

"Even the bathroom is fancy." I giggled.

I began to undress and twisted the shower on.  I then took my hair down out of its bun and it fell, covering a good amount of my torso.

I held my hand under the water and once it was warm enough I hung a towel outside of it and got in. I washed my hair and body swiftly and then got out. I couldn't take this place for granted. I just started yesterday and now I'm showering in my bosses guest bath room.

This almost sounds like some cliche fan fiction for an otome game. Next thing I know I'm gonna get laid.

NO NO MIN GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTERS! JUMIN IS MY BOSS! I suddenly felt the urge to slam my head against the wall.

Good thing this is real life.
That is good right?

I wrapped a towel around my body. There was a stool in the corner with a hair dryer, so I sat and began to dry my hair.

Once it was dry I tighted my towel around my chest and walked to the guest room door to retrieve the clothes that Jumin had grabbed. There was a plain white long sleeve button up shirt and a black pencil skirt. There was also a ruffled tie. Once I was all dressed I slipped on the black heels that Jumin had also left.

I opened the door and called out, "What should I do with my things."

"Just leave them on the bed, you can get them after work." And with that I walked out of the guest room and back into the living space.
