"I'm taking you out for lunch. Please say yes?" He looked at me with puppy eyes.

"Don't try that trick with me, you almost remind me of that needy woman that you used to call your girlfriend!" I laughed a little to ease some of his nerves.

"Pabo! I'm nothing like her, I'm wonderful and she's not okay? So let's go, I really have no idea how to ask a girl out." He sighed and dragged me to the elevator with

"You sound so childish." I laughed and smacked his shoulder lightly.

"I'm young okay?"

"Then act like it, young people don't sleep all day, they go out and have fun!"

"Well...lunch break's an hour long, want to do something fun outside?"

"Really?"

"Yeah, we can take a nap in the park." we stepped into the empty elevator that had just arrived.

I only shook my head and tried to hold back my laughter, running out of the elevator when we reached the ground floor and exited the building.

"Why not?" He pouted and chased after me.

"There, keep running, you need to be more active."

"Ngghh~don't leave me alone I don't want to run~!" he whined while running after me, a most laborious effort. I took a little pity on him and slowed to a walking pace.

"I could have died from cardiac arrest!" He panted next to me, sweating from his forehead, even though it was autumn and it was cold.

"Are you feeling warm?" I asked him.

"Very." He mumbled.

"Then we can go eat ice cream for lunch."

"No one eats ice cream for lunch, let's go eat something proper. I'll cool off in a bit." He removed his blazer and my eyes couldn't help but roam to his upper body.

"Like what you see don't you?" He smirked when he caught me staring.

"Are you crazy? I have better things to do than look at your upper body like a creep!"

"Ah, say what you like, you know you like them."

Dear brain, please stop the blush reflex.

"There isn't even anything there!"

"You wish, there's still my shirt there."

"I didn't mean that, I-"

"Ah, pabo...you should see your expression, it's priceless."

We stopped in front of a restaurant.

"Go in, what're you waiting for?" Yoongi shoved me through the door.

"We can't eat here!"

"And why not?"

"Look at the price of the food here!" I whisper-shouted.

"It's my treat, so sit your ass down." He whisper-shouted back at me as the waiter led us to a table.

I did as I was told and Yoongi simply told the waiter to bring the restaurant's best to the table.

"Get used to it, but don't get TOO used to it." Yoongi laughed when he saw my dumbfounded expression.

"You know, we could always have just gone elsewhere-"

"Shut up and eat." Yoongi pushed the plate of food that had just arrived to me.

I nodded and took a bite.

It felt like heaven.

When lunch was finished, I looked at my watch.

"We have about fifteen minutes to get back to the office. Let's go." I dragged Yoongi out of the restaurant hastily after he had settled the bill.

As soon as we were out of the restaurant, we took the long way back to the office, courtesy of Min Yoongi who got distracted by a fluffy brown dog on the road that he wanted to follow.

"He looks exactly like my Min Holly!" he squealed like a child.

"Min Holly?"

"That''s my dog." he laughed, eyes not moving from the fluffy dog who was walking in front of him.

We walked through a park when Yoongi suddenly stopped. The dog ran the other way but he didn't follow it. Instead, he turned to face me.

"Hye Rin ah."

"Yes?"

"Thank you for coming out with me for lunch today."

"You're, um, welcome?" I stood speechless at the sudden gentleman version of Yoongi standing in front of me.

He stood there for a while, then he walked up to me and wrapped me in a warm hug. The cold autumn wind just melted away and ceased to exist in that moment, his soft breath brushed against my neck and I found comfort and security standing in his arms.

She looked so adorable and clueless, standing in the middle of the grass. I had this urge to walk up to her and wrap her in my arms, I wanted to hold her, to feel her warmth.

But I couldn't do it...I would probably get rejected. I looked at her for a few good moments before deciding that I would just do it anyway. I was supposed to try to win her over, right?

But the office was so near, I was tempted not to take the extra 5 steps towards her to hug her...I was so sleepy, I could almost feel the warmth of my office chair around me already.

Ah, Yoongi you were so smart when you chose that office chair over all the others, it was obviously the comfiest one. And the neck pillow from Incheon Mall...what a good idea.

I was lost in my fantasies when I suddenly remembered what I had meant to do. I took the 5 steps which were actually 5.5 steps and pulled her into my embrace, breathing steadily into the crook of her neck, warming my own face up.

"It was just me coming out for lunch with you...I didn't pay for the meal even." She laughed, but was clearly flustered so I let go.

"It means a lot to me, Park Hye Rin. Let's get back to the office so I can load more work onto your desk." I teased her.

"Do you have to?" she pouted and I laughed.

In that moment, it felt like we were more than just a boss and his PA. It felt like we were friends- no, more than friends. It was a sweet victory for me, although she had not admitted she liked it, or even reciprocated with a hug of her own, the fact that I had overcome the obstacle of walking 5.5 extra steps to give her a hug was a good enough accomplishment for me, one that I would relish until I saw a familiar figure walking on the street opposite from us.

Engrossed in her own hand phone, she walked like she owned the place. Looking at her and trying to describe how stuck up she looked was tiring somewhat, because without having to do that, just looking at the aura of overconfidence and complacence that wafted around her like a cloud, I already knew.

Lee Chaeyoung.

"Let's go before we get spotted." I grabbed Hye Rin by the wrist and walked hurriedly back to the company building.

She nodded and we hastened our steps, hoping to avoid Chaeyoung's gaze.

"Yoongi!" Crap. She had seen us.

"Run Hye Rin!" I shouted at Hye Rin, who instantly paced into a fast canter, I followed closely behind.

The clicking of her stripper stilettos were getting louder behind me, she was gaining on us.

And then suddenly, her hands were on my shoulders for a brief second.

Hye Rin was a much faster runner than I, even in her heels, she had already reached the building. I brushed Chaeyoung's cold hand from my shoulder and ran like never before.

I reached the office building, and I made sure I gave a yell to the security guards to stop the 'loony woman' on my heels. They gave an affirmative nod before letting me pass, I made it to the lift lobby and the last thing I caught sight of before the elevator doors closed was Chaeyoung crashing to the ground and ripping her horrifically tight dress right down her ass. I wanted to laugh but by the time I reached the 50th floor, all I could do was stumble before falling to the ground in a mess.

"Yoongi!" Hye Rin's voice was the last thing I heard before darkness descended on me.
