A few days later....
You could feel the bitter coldness of the surface you were sitting on, seeping into your already stoned body. It was practically impossible not to freak out, when it was least to say that you were there to tend to your first ever job interview in your life.
The wholesome thing is, you're the only 'female' you could see around in the bunch of other people who were there to earn a testimony for their talent. Though it doesn't mean, it bugged you or something.
You were sure of your own capabilities & somewhere deep down, you knew you were going to crack it!
You couldn't help but thank Jungkook endlessly who apparently put forth the job offer before you for his workplace vacancy. You would felt giddy to work in the same office as his, though no feelings involved as such.
Tapping the floor in anticipation, as you heard each of the men's name being called out one by one, you felt irritated as to why not yet were you called?
Were you going to get rejected even before you were interviewed?
Ugh.
Clad in your black pant suit, and stilettos, your confidence level was touching the skies, but as time flew by & one by one all men were called up, you felt utterly let down.
"Ms Y/n. Please report to hall 07."
Your spirits rose up as you finally heard your name being called out. Straightening your attire with your clammy hands, you walked down the elegant corridor & knocked gently on the glass door. A muffled affirmation came from inside, to which you entered the hall.
" Good Afternoon Gentlemen. Myself Y/n." You said as you bowed.
After receiving a gesture to sit down on the chair laid out infront of the big conference table, you sat before handing your biodata file to the interviewers panel.
"Ok Ms Y/n. Tell us something about yourself."
"Sure sir. As you already know, my name is Y/n. I've graduated from Seoul National University School of Law & recieved the degrees of LL.B & pH.d, first division. I've completed my internship from Yang-Chi school of law. Currently I'm looking for a suitable job in any law firm or any high office to handle their legal affairs."
"Can we have some insight of your internship experience?" One of the interviewers demanded.
"Yes sir, for sure. I've worked in a variety of areas, including civil litigation, criminal law, and family law during my internship period. I'm particularly passionate about representing clients who have been wronged, and I'm always looking for ways to use my legal skills to make a difference in the world."
" Do you have any work experience?" The question came slicing from the tongue of the interviewer.
"No sir. I know there's a long gap between completion of my graduation, internship & job seeking, but there were some personal reasons due to which I wasn't able to take up any job at the time."
" It's alright, your biodata & excellence in the subject is commendable as I can see, but in the absence of prior work experience, especially when it comes to legal practices...hiring you is a risky deal." the words rolled off the one of the interviewer's tongue smoothly, dampening your spirits.
" But..." He continued, " if you could convince us, as to why we should hire you, a "female" when there's a bunch of deserving men, with more work experience & excellence waiting for the job...? What makes you different from them?" he said, placing his expensive pen down, waiting for my answer.
Clearing your throat, you proceeded, "I agree sir that I don't have work experience as such, but that doesn't set the parameters of my working capabilities. Even so, I would've to first start from somewhere, only to get that experience." You remarked, "Secondly, for your question of selecting me over the rest of the men out there, I would only say, though I don't think it would be boasting, but from the very beginning, be it in my social or academic life, I've always stood on the top, as you can see in my academics performances as well. There were boys too, back in school & college, but I beat them to it & eventually I always remained on the top. So I don't think it's a matter to say , but I can assure that I would give my best efforts & be on the top as always, beat the men in this field too & continue to steadfastly pursue my standards that I've set for myself. Never be no. 2, always be no.1." You concluded with a victorious smile, satisfied with your answer.
The interviewer's face seemed lit up for a while, & soon turned serious as they murmured among themselves. You eyed them intently, as you waited for some kind of relief, though you knew even if you didn't get the job, you would still feel contented that you gave the best answers you could, to your knowledge.
" Ms Y/n, let me tell you this, that this is the first time ever, our company has decided to..." he spoke with firmness, " to select an inexperienced person to work for them. All just because of your confidence & belief that you've on yourself. We hope you won't let us down... we're glad to inform you that you're welcomed to join us, as the Legal Advisor of Kim Enterprises." the man concluded, as he reached out his hand to shake with yours, stars & bubbles of happiness erupted in your chest.
You leapt up off your seat & shook hands with all the interviewer panel, thanking them profusely.
"I'll give my best sir. Thank you for having your trust in me." You said as you bid them the last bits of your acknowledgement.
You scurried out, jumping on your feet in joy, catching the glimpse of Jungkook waiting outside with a straight face, but soon his lips turned up too, seeing your expression of delight.
"Hey, hey, hey! Did you cracked it?" He asked with anticipation lacing his features. You bobbed your head up & down, in approval.
Even before you could respond he crushed you into his arms, praising you with bunny smile.
" Ya'need to celebrate it girl! You rocked!" he announced as tears welled up in your eyes. You were happy beyond the limits.
" When are you joining?" He asked with doe eyes.
"I don't know..." You mumbled confused.
"Excuse me, are you Y/n?" The voice of a beautiful girl interrupted, as you turned around to face her.
" Yeah.." you breathed, as her lips turned to an elegant grin. "Oh, Congratulations on your new job. This is your joining letter. You gotta join from tomorrow. You may collect your ID card tomorrow from Employee's desk." She said as her gaze fell on Jungkook, who was apparently checking her out with a smug face.
You nudged Jungkook in his stomach as he broke out of his reverie.
"Uh, yeah..." He rubbed his nape shyly.
"Do you know Y/n?" The girl asked him with confused eyes.
"Noo! I mean yes... we've met a few times before, ya'know neighbours." He giggled awkwardly.
You hid your smirk as you sensed what Kook was upto.
"That's great...well, Y/n if you've any problem, you can ask me, I'll be glad to help you. Btw, it's Ariel. Nice to meet you." She beamed.
"Same here." You replied shortly with a smile." Will see you tomorrow then."
She gave you both one last bye, before turning on her heels.
"Ahem. Someone's looking up for chances. Isn't it?" You teased Kook, as his cheeks turned crimson red.
"Oh, Y/n, don't be, please." He cried."c'mon I'll drop you home." He offered moving ahead.
"Nope, no need, I'll call a cab. You go back to work. I'll see you in evening. Gotta get some groceries for tonight's party. " you winked, as he grimaced.
You giggled before walking past the corridor to the elevator, unknown of a pair of heated eyes boring into you.
Evening, Same day.
Lost in your own little reverie, you walked through the busy street market of Seoul. The winter in Seoul has set in its all splendour, ready to take the entire city in it's frosty web. Your petite arms were stinging due to the heavy grocery supplies weighing them down plus the bone chilling gushes of wind biting your numb skin. No wonder, you were wearing office heels & they were doing no good at the moment.
However, it bothered you the least as currently, you were too much beamed & elated to think about your new job in hand than any other thing for sure.
Nia has decided to throw a houseparty & invite all her friends for the evening to enjoy a joyous meal together & rejoice for your achievement. Though you knew it well, her actual motive was to get your friend circle more diverse. You didn't mind it at all to have new folks to call them as your friends, but as usual you were timid to make new ones on your own.
So there you were, out in the wintry torture of the not-so-pleasant weather, with other people rushing around you in snow-dawned streets, with hardly any vehicles in sight on the roads, except for a few ones which were still functional in the chilly winter fall.
The phone buzzed in your overcoat's pocket, startling you off a bit, as you stumbled on the slippery blanket of snowy tarmac.
"Who could be this?" You mumbled under your breath, as you struggled to retreat your phone out of your warm pocket, with one hand & the other balancing the shopping paperbag.
"Oh hey, Y/n, did you got the supplies?" You heard the cheerful voice of Nia sounding from the other side of the phone.
"Yeah, I'm on my way." You croaked out in a bare whisper.
"Are you all alright, you sound bit down." Nia seemed worried.
"Coz, I'm out in the cold street, couldn't find a cab, but don't you worry, I'll see you in 15 mins sharp." You declared as you glanced at your wristwatch to confirm.
"Oh no! Where are you? I'll come & pick you up...my friend from London is back, so I'd gone to receive him from airport, we're on the way to home, tell me your location, we gotta catch you there."
You were so engrossed in your talk, that you didn't even paid heed to the traffic lights turning red, as you proceeded to cross the wide road, unaware of a car approaching towards you at stark speed.
By the time you realised the potential life threat nearing you, it was too late.
You felt your feet stuck on the road, unable to make a move, as you turned head in epiphany & watched the blinding headlights of the car blurring your vision with gaped mouth & quickened heartbeat. Your voice once again betraying you in face of danger, unable to scream out for help, as your eyes popped out of their sockets & the grocery slipped out of your weighing arms.
You could hear the dimmed voice of perplexed Nia from the phone, calling you out, but still somehow, you couldn't response as the shock washed all over you.
"AGHHHHH~"
You felt your body hit by a slow-moving bull, your entire body jerked back & incapable of keeping up on your feet, you toppled in the middle of the road with a blaring yelp, right on your elbows, almost crushing them.
The car stopped just a couple of inches away from you, as much that you could even feel it's heat seeping into your freezed body. You turned around aghast, completely out of order, as you tried to sit up on the ground, but your body gave up on you, as it crashed back again on the ground, your mind doped by the sudden adrenaline running through your veins.
However, what startled you the most was, the source of a familiar voice blabbering beside you, a girly familiar voice, to be specific. You felt your head being uplifted from the ground & settled on somebody's lap. The owner of this "somebody's lap" tapped on your cheek vigorously, irking you up slightly, though you couldn't respond yet.
Your senses were dazed, so you couldn't really decipher who the heck they were who almost tramped you to death today.
"OH MY GOD, Y/n...wake up!!! Oh no, what do I do now? This can't be happening right now, is she bleeding?" A voice rambled on.
Wait.
Oh.
Wtf!
Is that Nia?
Nia!!!!
"It's no time for inspection! We need to take her to clinic, but first we must sprinkle some water on her face, maybe she would wake up?" A not-so-familiar yet manly voice asserted."
"Yeah! You're absolutely right!"
You heard frantic shufflings around you & before you could completely return to your senses, you felt a puddle of water being splashed on your face, yanking you out of your faint state.
"Ugh! Is that you Nia?" That's the first thing you uttered after coming back in your full awaken condition.
"Yeah it's me!" She chirped in quite enthusiastically.
You were unamused.
The audacity.
TF!
" Nia! you almost killed me today, & there you're, all smiling! You ok girl?!" You asked being dramatic AF, your hands grabbing your hair.
"Idiot! I'm smiling because you're fine now, what do you expect me to do, eh? Mourn or what?!" She spoke, slight irritated yet a glint of happiness adorning her features.
"Here, have some water." You flinched at the sudden offer by a man.
Oh man.
Woah!
"Stop drooling. I ain't water." You heard the man grin heartedly at your reaction. You coughed on your saliva, all embarassed & taken aback at his instant cacophony.
"Who is he?" You inquired Nia, pointing at him.
"Oh well, first this dumbass needs to apologise to you cuz he's the one who was driving, not me." Nia spoke, with her hands surrendering defensively. "And, second, he's the guy friend I was talking about yesternight who's from London. Dude, ya'need to apologise!" She said, prodding him to do the same as said.
"Yes yes! I'm really sorry Y/n, you'd go through this all because of me. I didn't meant to have our first encounter to be this weird though. I sincerely apologise for my careless behaviour, it could've costed your life!" He said bowing & with ardent eyes.
"It's alright." You muttered softly.
He seemed to sigh a relief at your response. "Thank God! You accepted my apology, otherwise I would've never been able to forgive myself ever." He said with elation, & his hand on his chest. You couldn't help but return his smile. It was damn contagious & lightning. He seemed to light up your mood.
The guy helped you up, with Nia bouncing at your back, wiggling her eyebrows teasingly, to which you just rolled your eyes at her.
"Btw, you didn't introduce yourself to me." You prompted him with your furrowed eyebrows.
"Oops! My bad." He chuckled. "Myself Jung Hoseok. I'm your Hope, you can call me J-hope." He said flattering me, as he sent me a finger heart. Aww, he's cute. Not so manly afterall. You thought.
"Ahhh~" Nia screeched out of the blue.
"Hey what's with you, what happened?" You asked bothered, turning to her.
"You're asking what happened to me?!! You see, what happened to you?!" Nia shrieked again, pointing at my right elbow.
Ok.
Great.
Just great.
You clenched your eyes after the realisation hit you like truck, you'd injured yourself pretty badly, so much that your elbow was bleeding & the blood was trickling out of your coat, creating a huge bloody spot there.
It had to happen just a day prior to your joining in the new job. You felt grudge against the god riling up in you, as he wouldn't let you live without crazy troubles even for a day.
"Shit! It has to be bandaged immediately. Let's go to Dr Park's clinic."
Time skip.
You held on the handkerchief firmly, hoping that the bleeding would somehow seize. Not to mention, but now you were feeling a bit dizzy. You felt utterly weak.
Nia & Hoseok, supported your fragile body from both sides, as you walked through the corridor of the clinic on your already wobbly legs.
The smell of the clinic again made you feel even more sick & weary.
"We're here." Nia announced triumphantly as she sighed & glanced the receptionist's desk, which was apparently ghosted. No one was in sight as far as the eyes could see. If it was not Nia & Hoseok by your side, you would've freaked out your guts by now. Nia moved ahead to open the door of the doctor's cabin.
Was she not going to take appointment?
You thought.
Not very amused with the idea of barging in someone's cabin, who might be busy.
Nonetheless,you guys entered the cabin & Nia switched on the lights. She must be familiar with the place, does she know the doctor? You thought. Maybe she does. You guessed.
"OH-MY-"
"Holy moly, What the fudge bro?!!"
"Oh my innocence, you horny bitchfu*cker!"
"Yikes!"
You covered your mouth in utter bewilderment & disgust. You were not at all prepared to catch a doctor in an explicit situation.
How unholy this doctor was! Literally fu*king the shit out of a brunette chick on his work table, where he probably examined his patients! You felt like vomiting at the thought.
You saw the guy doctor, probably younger than you thought, halting all his sinful actions at the arrival of the sudden guests, astonished as hell, mirroring the same expression as you all. He almost forgot about the girl who eventually slipped out of his embrace & fell butt hard on floor while groaning. It took her seconds to absorb the situation.
The girl panicked as well, making a frantic effort to guard her dignity as she quickly fixed her disheveled shirt & skirt, before grabbing a towel & running outside of the cabin, slamming the door shut behind you guys.
"Bro, zip up your pants & button up your shirt, you literally look like a brutally fucked manwh*re." J-hope remarked laughing before covering both mine & Nia's eye with his huge hands.
"Bro?" Your mind questioned.
"Shit! The fuck you guys are here at this hour!" You heard the doctor curse.
"Nia, where have you brought me? A bloody fucker in the facade of a doctor! It's shameful, who gave him license ygh!" You grimaced badly.
"What did you say, huh?" You heard the doctor grit out.
"What just you heard!" You deadpanned ferociously, yanking off Hoseok's hand from your eyes, as you glared at the doc with dead eyes.
"Hey, calm down, why are you bursting on me, old lady! I can explain, but wait! It's none of your business."
"What did you call me?! Old lady!? You doublefaced frump! How dare you call me that?! Old lady my foot! " You growled pumping your fists whilst glaring at him.
"Wait up...now , I know why you're angry..." He said with a smug grin playing on his plump pinkish lips.
He stepped closer to you, his crescent eyes gleaming like stars, staring right in yours.
"You wished it was you, whom I was fu*c-" he began to whisper to you, but even before he could complete his sentence he got a not-so-hard punch on his face, which apparently made him stumble back.
"Jimin-ah! Not with her... she's not a random girl with whom you can talk dipshits & your cheesy punch lines. She's Nia's friend. Apologise now!" J-hope growled, astonishing you indeed. You didn't expected him to be like this yet.
"If she's Nia's friend, then tell her that I'm Nia's friend too, she should be polite as well. Why would I apologise... she's the one who started it! So she should apologise, why me?!" He exclaimed pouting.
What a dimwit.
You chuckled mockingly, taking him by surprise."To think that I would apologise to you, just because we caught a dickhead like you fucking your patient! Rascal!" You let your buried profanities slip off your tongue smoothly.
"Ohh , I see. Well she's not a patient. For your pretty info, she's my secretary." He said with a proud smirk plastered on his lips, running his hands through his messed hair.
The hell is wrong with this asshole!
"Have you gone insane Jimin, seriously?" Nia let out pissed by the situation she finds herself in.
" I don't need any treatment from him, I'm gonna leave this stuffy place, otherwise I'm sure he would himself need a treatment, I'm sure you don't want that for your friend Nia?" You scowled at the doc.
" Believe or not, but you're affected by my charm, that's what makes you frustrated like the way you are right now.Btw, I like your fiesty attitude. " He winked cockily, irking you to the edge.
" UGH! NIA TELL HIM TO STOP OTHERWISE I'M GONNA THROW MY HANDS ON HIM."
Time skip
You guys were seated in the living room, everybody had arrived for the evening houseparty, clad in their casual outfits. You were surprised & hella flustered to witness that Nia's friends were literal runway models livin' common people's lives, all of them looking like Greek gods if not more in comparison of their attractive aura.
To be honest, you felt like a binbag yourself... suddenly conscious of your styling sense.
"You seem lost... what's there up in your head?" A heavy rusky voice interrupted your train of thoughts. You turned around only to get off guard by the cute yet devilish gummy smile of Yoongi..Min Yoongi.
You guys happened to know each other just a few moments ago, when Nia introduced him to you as her 'guardian angel'.
" Ooh, do I look lost? Hehe! Nope, it's nothing really." You assured calmly.
"I see, wanna grab a drink? It's your party afterall. Get loose girl, yeah." He connoted nonchalantly before grabbing a Soju glass & handing it to you. "Thanks." You muttered.
" Btw, what do you do? You didn't told me about that?" You asked with curiousity lacing your tone. "I'm a music producer & soon gonna start my sole production company, by god's grace." He said adorning a big grin.
"That's worth celebrating! Congrats Yoongles!" You said cheekily, giggling.
"Woah, who's congratulating whom?" Jin came past you guys, holding a platter occupied by cream rolls & muffins, as he devoured them on.
"That's not the actual thing, but you ruined my conversation with Y/n, hyung! She called me 'Yoongles'!" Yoongi whined out childishly, making you gasp at his sudden baby voice.
"Don't you like it? I'm sorry, I'll no-" you panicked. "Nope, it's fine, was just kidding. You can call me that.!" Yoongi remarked as you saw his ears going blazing red, making you snort at him teasingly.
"Did I really disrupted your conversation?" Jin asked modestly, though you didn't saw what's coming next, " Well, butt out. You'd enough of yours share of conversation with her, move aside, I want to talk her too." He said nudging Yoongi away from your standing figure, & making space from himself.
" Well you know me, Y/n... I don't really need to tell you that I'm WORLDWIDE HANDSOME JIN. Nobody's has got as beautiful & handsome features like me, Oh my! Look! I'm literally a walking god, am I not.?" Jin said whilst sending your fly kiss.
You blushed at his behaviour though you find him really funny & kinda self-obsessed. "Yes, yes you're, no doubt." You cooed finding it difficult to suppress the bits of laughter bubbling in your chest.
Suddenly the door bell dinged, & out of the blue you barely saw a figure swooshing past you guys standing near the kitchen, to dash open the door.
It took you seconds to realise that it was Nia.
" I guess, Joon hyung is here. Let's go." Jungkook exclaimed as they made their way toward the main door in unison. You remembered you'd heard his name from Nia a couple of times before.
As you went ahead, a smile crept on your face, seeing how utterly overjoyed Nia was to see Joon at home. She was literally hugging him like a Koala, as Joon reciprocated the same warmth, you felt bubbly to see them together, they looked perfect.
" Yeah you finally managed time for me now, don't you?" Nia squealed while hitting him on his buffed shoulder. "Anything for you." Joon cooed, earning a few whistles from the boys gathered around. You too couldn't help but chuckle at the duo.
"Hey Namjoon, long time no see, bruh! I missed you." J-hope radiated his sunshine smile, as he welcomed Joon in his hug. "I missed you too hyung! How's your dancing classes going in London?" Namjoon asked.
"They're all good, 6 of them in different zones. Gotta rile up some more in future..." J-hope exclaimed gleefully.
"That's great"
"Namjoon, I missed you too lil bro! Wanna grab drinks together?" Oh so this man offers to grab a drink to everyone, you thought internally chuckling.
" We'd drinks together just the day before yesterday hyung! Drink less, you losing your memory, I see." Namjoon replied biting his lips as he tried to suppress the laughter threatening to leave his lips. Yoongi rolled his eyes at him in response as he groaned. " Not rude. I suppose."
Jimin & Jungkook both jumped at Namjoon together just like little minnies they're, especially that Jimin who literally looked like a shorty infront of Namjoon.
"Oww! You guys planning to kill me the very time I stepped inside, leave! I can't breath." Namjoon voice came out stuffed as he was squished by them.
They release him as Namjoon pats them on their back & exchanges a few wordings.
"Hey Y/n come over here, what are you doing there? Don't wanna meet my fiancΓ©"? Nia called out to you as she winked, as you gawked at her with baffled expression.
"What did you just said?" You said as you approached them, shock written all over your face. "Girl I'm gonna raise a devil with you cuz you didn't even told me that you're engaged." You said wiping fake invisible tears, as you daunted her.
"Oops, I'm sorry but I wanted to give you a surprise!" She piped in cheerfully.
" Well I like your surprise though, not bad." You said tilting your head & glancing at her with smug expression.
"Hey don't you dare..." Nia shrieked alarmed.
" Calm down baby, I'm not gonna snatch your man, of course. But get me one like him..." You said giggling heartily before engulfing them both in a hug, offering them your congratulations as you heard everybody else in the room bursted out in laughter.
" Nia you got a good friend, don't break her heart! You gotta get a man like me for her, & if you couldn't then your Namjoon is here , ya'know..." He said smirking evilly earning a punch in his chest by Nia, causing him to gasp in pain.
" Well you can choose from us..." You heard the annoying yet angelic voice of Jimin offer for you.
"Gladly, but except you..." You said sticking your tongue out at him, mocking him at his face, earning a dreadful glare.
Everyone had their best shares of laugh at your sassy response & Jimin's fooled face.
Jungkook came around with the glasses of beer in tray, as everybody prepared to share a toast in the name of your new job, Nia's relationship revelation for you & the new friends you guys made this memorable evening.
"Cheers!"
