“ He watched a star...a star who disliked a star lover like him;
He found his Stella and became an astrophel, hopelessly. ”

Third Person's POV

Jungkook almost jumped out of the bus holding his bag in one hand and his other hand holding the phone which had the Google map opened. May be he didn't have the courage to take another cab today. He could have took subway but he was quite unsure. But he didn't know his unsure decisions would throw water on his plans of attending his first day of office early. He was running out of time to even be there in time. He wished to reach there before his Boss and he'd probably cry if he doesn't make it.

" Hey ! Can't you see ! " Someone yelled behind Jungkook as he ran towards his destination . He didn't have the time to stop and apologize so he also yelled " Sorry ma'am ! " and hurried.

By the time Jungkook reached infront of The main gates of Park IT, it was already two minutes late . He ran towards the entrance and almost got hit by a sudden car which was entering the gate.

" Aaa- " Jungkook almost screamed in fear as he thought he got hit by the car. It took him few good seconds to understand that he was still standing with scratch less body.

He turned around . His eyes widened seeing the Black shinny Laferrari infront of him. He gawked at the car till he met with the glaring eyes of the person behind the wheel. Park Jimin.

Fear and nervousness hit Jungkook hard as he immediately looked down and turned around as well before running away towards the glass doors of the main building.

Jungkook didn't know what to do or think. Certainly his brain was shutting off. He could care less about everyone looking at him weirdly as he rushed to the elevator.

" Isn't he Boss's new Executive assistant ? " A girl asked another .

" Yup. He's joining from today . " Said that other.

" Maybe loosing his job today as well."
Someone else said from behind them.

" Uh... sadly, yeah. But he's so hot though ... " They exclaimed together.

" Looks too sexy to get insulted by our Boss. " Another girl said.

" What drama is it gonna be huh !? Two sexy aff human being fighting hmm ? " A girl said sounding so excited.

" I heard this new bee is a nervous freak...Boss is gonna kill him . "

.

.
.

" Hello miss- " Jungkook almost got hit with the reception table of the CEO's floor.

" Miss Jane. " The lady behind the desk said with a smile. Jungkook tried to return the smile back but his anxious eyes were continuously checking the private elevator door.

" Please help me... What am I supposed to do now ? " Jungkook asked and the lady eyed him for few brief seconds and immediately understood the matter.

" You were supposed to join 15 minutes before Mr. Jeon... You were to arrenge Boss's desk, check the schedules of today and make the itemized list for him..." The lady said with pity in her voice and Jungkook couldn't help but frown before bowing to her and rushing towards the CEO's office.

But before Jungkook could enter the office a very familiar authorative voice rang behind Jungkook and a bunch of " Good morning Sir " made sure of Park Jimin's arrival.

Jungkook stiffened but this time he controlled himself and quickly turned around only to meet with a pair of beautiful fierce eyes , looking straight at him.

Jungkook gulped and blinked twice, feeling nervous infront of gaze was becoming his daily routine. Everything went painfully silent till Jungkook couldn't bear it and broke it .

" Good morning Sir... " Jungkook said and it practically brought no change on the stone cold face of his gorgeous boss.

Jimin walked past Jungkook and just said " follow me. " in a very much emotionless tone.

( A/n. Here, it's Jungkook's gorgeous Boss Park Jimin and it's his outfit )

.
.
.
.

The office door closed behind Jungkook, making him more nervous as he followed Jimin with slow steps towards the desk.

" What's my schedule today, Mr Jeon ?" Jimin asked while sitting on his swivel chair and Jungkook wanted to slap himself. He knew that Jimin knows he hadn't made it...

" I... I'm sorry sir... please give me five minutes, I'll present it to you. " Jungkook said clutching onto the handles of his office bag. He couldn't move away his eyes from the other male while Jimin examined Jungkook up and down with his emotionless yet scrutinizing narrowed gaze.

" Do one thing Mr. Jeon, sit down here. " Jimin said with a calm and cold tone while indicating Jungkook to sit opposite of him.

Jungkook blinked . He was confused.

" Can't you hear me Mr. Jeon ? Or you have hearing problems as well ? " Jimin asked and Jungkook immediately sat down .

" Take out your laptop or iPad, whatever you've got from Jin hyung. " Jimin said pressuring on the last sentence more, making Jungkook look down.

Jungkook took out his laptop silently and Jimin noticed Jungkook's expensive watch gifted by Jin.

" What a beautiful watch you've got Mr. Jeon. I wonder if it's itching on your wrist. " Jimin said laying his back on his seat while looking at Jungkook with an impenetrable insulting expression.

" No Sir... it's not... " Jungkook answered wanting to rip off the watch from his wrist .

" Oh good. My bad. I thought unusual things on undeserving people causes irritation. " Jimin said and Jungkook could only digest it silently.

" Whatever, now type down your resignation letter Mr. Jeon. " Jimin said making Jungkook's breath hitch. He was confused, shocked and scared. What happened ? Out of blue why would Jimin say that ?

" Sir I... Sir wh-why..." Jungkook couldn't even utter anything properly.

" Remember your rules Jeon Jungkook. What was the first rule ? "
Jimin asked almost gritting his teeth.

" Do-don't be late. " Jungkook said looking down, knowing he fucked up big time .

" Oh wow. I see you remember it. Then what's the excuse Behind not following it ? " Jimin asked.

" Si-sir I'm sorry... Please...it wouldn't happen again. " Jungkook pleaded apologetically.

" You don't even have an excuse huh ? Or is it too hard to say that you got so used of undeserving luxury which made you wake up late ? " Jimin asked with a dark chuckle and Jungkook shook his head.

" ... Sir, I am sorry. " Jungkook didn't say any excuse cause he really didn't want to. Yeah, it was his fault to be late now excuses would make it worse.

Jungkook stared at his Boss who gave him a dissapointed angry glare before taking a file and placing it infront of Jungkook in a not so polite way.

" Check this up and give me my schedule in 10 minutes. Bring me an expresso. " Jimin said and Jungkook stood up nodding and muttering numerous thank yous.

" Anything else Sir ? " Jungkook asked but Jimin didn't move his eyes away from his laptop anymore.

" No. " Jimin replied and Jungkook bowed before rushing out of the room. As Jungkook went out of the room, Jimin looked up and stared at the door.

It looked like Jimin himself was holding his breathe for some unknown reason. He moved away his laptop and rubbed his forehead . Was he having a headache again ? Yeah may be.

" What are you doing Jimin... He's just a stranger . You don't like him, it's normal. " Jimin said to himself , clutching his eyes shut.

" Can't I just fire him... ! I can ! " Jimin exclaimed .

" Ughh Jimin ! " He scolded himself slamming his hand.

.
.
.
.

Jungkook walked towards the food court of the huge office building with fast steps. He gave smile to each and everyone who smiled at him .

Some smiles were sympathetic, some were fake and some were genuine but most of them were jealousy.

Not everyone gets the chance to talk to Park Jimin everyday nor everyone gets to be in his presence in daily basis. Men and women, both fell for Park Jimin on his left, right and centre but none got him.

" Hi ! " Jungkook greeted the older lady behind the desk who looked at him confused. She was brewing coffee for someone .

" Hello Sir ? May I ask if you're new here ? " The lady asked and Jungkook brightly smiled.

" Yes ! It's my first d- " Jungkook couldn't complete his words cause he was cut off by someone.

" First day huh ? Make sure it doesn't become your last. " The intruding voice said and Jungkook recognised it immediately. Lalisa Manoban .

Jungkook could again hear the greetings for her as she walked beside Jungkook.

" Good morning Ma'am . Here's your Expresso. " The barista lady said and Lisa side eyed Jungkook .

" Morning Ms. Lee. Morning...new bee" lisa said giving Jungkook a fake smile who gave her a polite smile.

" Good morning to you too Ma'am. " Jungkook greeted.

" May I have an expresso as well ? " Jungkook asked the barista and she was about to say yes but Lisa interrupted.

" If you're taking it for Boss then don't. It's on me. Don't bother him with your face till you finish your first task. " Jungkook was stunned by her harsh remark as well as the barista. The lady was looking at Jungkook with pity now. Surely, Lisa wasn't liking Jungkook.

" But ma'am, he ordered me to do it. You don't need to worry about it. " Jungkook tried to reason politely.

" Do what you're told Mr. Jeon. " Lisa said taking the expresso.

" I think I'm certainly trying to do it ma'am and you're the one stopping me from doing so. " Jungkook's stern voice shocked Lisa. How dare he talk like this with her !? Did he know who she is ?

" Oh ? And how is that ? " Lisa asked with an insulting voice and Jungkook just smiled.

" You know it well. Even you know it more well than me ma'am and I request you, don't do it. " Jungkook said and the Barista placed Jungkook's coffee infront of him.

" Thank you Ms. Lee. " Jungkook said taking the coffee .

" Excuse me, ma'am. " Jungkook gave Lisa a small smile and walked away. But would Lisa accept this ? Never. It was her duty to serve Jimin his coffee every morning ! She did it for all these years now someone would come and take her most favourite task of the day... she can't tolerate it.

She was burning with anger while glaring at Jungkook's back.

.
.
.
.

Jungkook looked happy as he walked towards his Boss's office room. He didn't expect all these smiles and greetings . People are actually nice here behind there expressionless face. He ignored Lisa's cold behaviour towards her. Why hold onto the bad part while there's a majority of good ones ?

" May I come in Sir ? " Jungkook asked knocking on the door and a monotonous " hmm " came as an answer .

Jungkook checked himself up and down on the nearby glass wall's reflection before entering the room with a delighted yet neutral face.

" Here's your coffee Sir. " Jungkook said and put down the coffee on the table and Jimin glanced at it for a mere second. Was it the coffee Jimin looked at ? Or the attractive hand with tattoos decorating them, making them oddly appealing.

" 5 minutes. You have 5 minutes left for preparing my schedule. " Jimin said and Jungkook nodded .

" It'll be here in a few sir. " Jungkook's calm voice made Jimin feel a disturbing peace.

Disturbing peace. Yup , this oximoron was perfect for the feeling Jimin was having around his new executive assistant. A peace in the older's smile and voice that was disturbing Jimin's stone mind. Something was bothering him and Jimin hated it.

.
.
.
.

" Did the police inform you something hyung ? " Taehyung asked Jin who was busy checking a patient's test reports and didn't look at his brother who suddenly visited him in hospital.

" No. I'm scared that Jungkook lost his bags, documents, phone and laptop forever. I'm sure they took all the money that was in his bag and sold the phone and laptop. " Jin said monotonously , making Taehyung quite startled cause Jin is the one who always tells Jungkook " you'll get back your things kookah . Don't worry. "

" But- " Taehyung couldn't complete his words as Jin interrupted and looked at him with not so fond gaze.

" But what ? You're gonna ask why do I always soothe Jungkook by saying he'll get back his things ? " Jin asked taking off his glasses.

" Because I didn't become heartless like you Kim Taehyung. I wonder where I did wrong for you to turn out like this. I've heard everything you said to Jungkook today Taehyung ,and for your kind information, I'm dissapointed. " Jin said making Taehyung look down with a frown.

" I didn't mean to..." Taehyung couldn't even utter anything properly.

" Doesn't matter. You meaning them or not, it hurt him Taehyung ! I get it that you were worried for Jimin , I'm too ? Don't I love him as much as you do ? Don't I want him to smile like we've never seen him !? Don't I want him to happy ? I do Taehyung ! But that doesn't mean you'll lash out at Jungkook who knows basically nothing about Jimin's life and what he has went through ? Was it his fault ? "
Jin said and it made Taehyung feel more bad than he already was feeling.

" And if you think Jungkook's always smiling , bubbly self is real everytime, you're so damn wrong. It's his damn defense mechanism which makes him look positive even if he's breaking down inside. He's having enough Tae !" Jin said angrily.

" You think he was happy to get hit by your car huh ? What if it wasn't just minor fractures ? What if he have died ? Tell me Tae, does it support the theory of him enjoying the luxury you're providing him ? And how could you even dare to say those words about his family ! " Jin's dissapointed words were hitting Taehyung like sharp stabs but he silently listened to it all.

" He lost his parents Taehyung ! And you mocked him for that ? Would you like it if someone else does that to you ! See how strong he always was ! He didn't give up ever ! You had me ! But he ? He had no one to rely onto all his life and you dare to think you're pitying him with all these. " Jin said shaking his head.

" So you think you pityied Jimin too ? You've saved him when he was taking his last breath !? Gave him a new life, identity and cured him ? You don't even know h- " Jin couldn't say more as Taehyung interrupted.

" Stop hyung ! Stop ! Please ! Just stop...I don't wanna listen to it ever again. I know what I did and I regret... I shouldn't have said those to Jungkook and that's why I came to you... I really do understand what pain I've caused him and I'll apologise but don't you ever bring up this topics again ! What if ... what if..." Taehyung couldn't complete.

" Truths doesn't lie beneath the soil forever Tae... I just want Jimin to be the happiest like he always deserved to be... nothing else. Just like you Tae, I want Jimin to smile from the bottom of his heart ... " Jin said and Taehyung could only nod with his eyes glistening.

.

.
.

Few hours in the office and Jungkook already made many friends and unknowingly made lots of people start falling for him . Few people were always jealous ofcourse, it's the universal rule. You would have lovers and also haters .

Jungkook bubbly, day brightening personality attracted everyone and his contrast with Personality looks made him more mysteriously attractive. Whenever he's not talking , he looks completely different and whenever he doesn't smile, a dominant aura flashes over his silhouette and face but the next moment he's flattering someone with his sweet words.

Jungkook may be was nervous but when he worked, his doings were perfect and quite too perfect to find a mistake.

.
.
.

It was lunch time and Jungkook didn't know what to do. He was hungry but he certainly couldn't go and eat when he knew Jimin hasn't eat anything.

" Doesn't he eat here... ? Is someone going to bring his food...? Should I ask... Uhmm... what if he scolds..." Jungkook was in dilemma . He felt shy to ask anyone about it and just waited in his cabin . He was overwhelmed when he saw his own office room and got more excited when he realised that from his desk he can see when anyone enters and leaves his Boss's office.

Jungkook was glancing on his watch again and again cause the 40 minutes lunch break was quickly passing through and Jimin hasn't left his office. He had a meeting before and after that he didn't talk to Jungkook at all and only gave him files to check, emails to answer and stuff.

At some point Jungkook couldn't sit still and marched towards his Boss's office.

.
.
.
.

" May I come in Si- " Jungkook couldn't complete his words when someone else overpowered his polite voice .

" May I come in Sir ? " Lisa asked and Jungkook unintentionally hated the fact that Jimin looked up.

Jimin never looked up at him when he came to his office atleast 7 times till now...

Jimin looked at Jungkook and Lisa , confusion hidden behind his confident bossy demeanor.

He lightly nodded and immediately closed a little velvet box which was infront of him and put it in the desk drawer.

Jungkook couldn't help but wonder what it was and why Jimin put it away this quickly.

" What brings you here now Lisa ? Isn't it lunch time ? " Jimin asked to Lisa with his authorative yet sweet voice ... just like he talks with Jin and Taehyung.

Just two days, Jungkook knew Jimin for just 48 hours and he couldn't help but feel hurt...he tried to control this unrequited feelings of pain but who was he to stop himself ?

Jungkook couldn't help but feel insecure at this situation. What did he do to not hear this kind of voice of his Boss... ?

" It is Sir... for you too. Are you again skipping lunch ? " Lisa asked and Jimin leaned back on his seat with a small odd smile.

Jungkook stared at his Boss. He could tell it was not Jimin's real smile. But still...

" Have you called him for anything Sir ? I mean why he's standing here..." Lisa didn't complete his words and if Jungkook could disappear from the place, he would have done it.

Jimin finally dragged his attention towards Jungkook .

" Is there anything you want to say Mr. Jeon ? " Jimin asked and Jungkook could notice how his Boss’s voice again changed to the almost annoyed and distant voice.

Jungkook didn't know what to ask or say. Wouldn't it look stupid now if he asks about Jimin's lunch ? And if Jimin scolds him infront of Lisa...it doesn't matter but still...

" I just wanted to ask about your lunch sir... You haven't- " once again Jungkook was stopped by Jimin.

" Was it there in the rules or anything Mr. Jeon ? That you have to take care about anything except work ? Do what you're told. " Jimin's harsh voice made scratches on Jungkook's already scar filled heart and Jungkook could just nod.

Lisa looked away like she didn't care but only if she could laugh at Jungkook now...

Jungkook looked down and nodded.

" Leave. " Jimin said and Jungkook bowed before rushing out of the room.

It didn't help Jungkook's sad heart when he saw after few minutes Jimin left the office with Lisa .

Jungkook couldn't go to eat something after this . He just focused on checking the files which was needed for the meeting in one hour. He tried to do everything perfectly... like he himself actually was, perfectionist.

Jungkook didn't even know when he started to see Jimin as a star... and put himself in the place of a mere star lover...an Astrophel , only to stare at the star and get hurt in each possible way.

“ He knew he was drowning with unrequited feelings... feelings of devotion towards a star who'd never shine on his direction but...he couldn't stop. ”
