《Mr. Boss | ✓》III

You stand before your wardrobe shifting the weight of your body from one leg to the other impatiently.

I'll dress well for this. Because first impressions matter, you had thought to yourself as soon as you woke up. But now you're really doubting its possibility.

Seriously though, no one would imagine that the wardrobe you're standing before belongs to a 19 year old girl. Hoodies.. over-sized t shirts.. hand me downs.. all in black, grey or brown.

Finally giving up on your over ambitious plan to 'dress to impress' you put on the first thing your hands touch: A long sleeved black t-shirt with blue ripped jeans and your beaten up pair of converse.

This is definitely bound to make a "remarkable" first impressions... Good or bad? you have no clue.

"Wow, you really don't care what people think of you, do you?" Sunghyun's first words to you as you get into his car.

"Good morning to you too." you roll your eyes.

"Couldn't you have dressed properly? It's a job interview for crying out loud. And you look like a boy." Sunghyun complains.

You look down at your crotch and then peep into your shirt, "Nope, still a girl. Besides it's better than looking like a homeless boy, which is what I look like on a general basis."

"I give up on you, Y/N, you're a lost cause." Sunghyun says shaking his head.

"Wahhhh!! You work here? No way!!" Your mouth gaping open as you take in the view before you.

The building towers before you. It's many glass windows like sparkling lights in the morning sun. And there it says as big as life

"Y/N, try not to embarrass me please." Sunghyun pleads.

"Do I ever-" Even before you manage to finish you trip over your own foot and nearly face plant.

"Y/N!!!!" Sunghyun whines.

"Okay okay.. that was a mistake okay!" You say defensively.

The minute the glass doors parts a gust of cold wind engulfs you, inviting you into this new world of wonder. The hall is bright and buzzing with activity. Every now and then you hear the sound of heels on the granite floor. Women and Men in official attire hurriedly moving from one place to the other, some carrying files others busy on the phone.

Oh gosh, Y/N! What have you got yourself into?

"Close your mouth," Sunghyun nudges you playfully. "Oh and welcome to my workplace."

As he leads you to his office people greet him politely some giving him flirtatious looks.. women mostly. But no one spares you a second glance, which you are immensely grateful for.

"Oh Sunghyun-ah! Hi!" A lady with dark red lipstick and long straight hair approaches you.

"Hello, Sehee-shi" Sunghyun politely bows smiling.

The lady named Sehee playfully swats his arm, "Aiggo Sunghyun-ah, how many times have I told you, we're friends? You don't have to address me formally."

She bats her eye lashes at him. And you almost burst out laughing because you know your idiotic best friend has no clue about her true intentions.

"Ohhh.. and who is this little girl? Your girlfriend?" she turns her attention to you and stresses the word "girlfriend" for a little too long.

Sunghyun simply laughs but doesn't deny it. He puts his arm around you which causes Sehee to narrow her eyes at you.

Great! You haven't uttered a single word and she hates you already. Way to go Y/N.. way to go!

"You must excuse us, Sehee-shi." Sunghyun bows again and guides you to his office.

"Wow.. just wow." You're speechless as you throw yourself onto a chair in Sunghyun's office.

"Sunghyun-ah," You try to imitate Sehee's overly sexual voice but fail cracking yourself and Sunghyun up.

"Stay here. I'll go talk to my senior and get right back. Don't move! Wait.." he bends down to open a drawer and pulls out three packets of snacks. "There! That should keep you busy."

"Yah! Do I look like a dog to you?" you pretend to be angry but take the snacks anyway and fall back onto the sofa.

Munch. Munch. Munch.

Two empty packets lie at your feet and the third will get there soon enough.

Where's this idiot?

Suddenly your ears perk up at the noises coming from outside the office. Even though they are muffled you know the people are yelling just by the tone. You're itching to take a look but Sunghyun's words echo in your mind.

"How can you do this to me? After all the hard work I've put in.." the first voice is pleading.

"Yeah? Well you should've thought about it before you signed me up for that show I clearly mentioned I didn't want to be a part of." The second voice is arrogant but less loud.. he almost sounds bored.

Wait.. Why does that voice sound familiar to you? Okay... now you have to check it out.

Slowing peeping outside you see a crowd gathering. Everyone looks rather petrified. Bit by bit you inch forward and a few moments later you find yourself close enough to hear and see everything.

Two men stand in the heart of the circle of spectators.. one of them looks nervous clearly indicative by the sheen of sweat glistening on his forehead despite the AC. While the other.. you can't see the other's expression because he has his back to you. Now however, you can correctly identify which of the voices you heard before belongs to whom.

The people around you move aside as a plump man makes his way to the center of the circle. Whispers break out.

"Jungkook-ah, stop this. We can talk about this calmly in my office." the plump man says. Even though he's making a suggestion he doesn't sound like he wants to hear a reply.

"No PD-nim. I want this to end now. I want a new manager" the man named Jungkook turns around and your month falls open.

NO WAY!!! NOT HIM!!! This can't be him.

The man named Jungkook runs a hand through his hair in frustration. And you recognise the way it immediately falls back onto his forehead... Like a curtain of silk.

No. Not this jerk!

It takes all of your will power to stop yourself from running to him and wrapping your hands around his throat. That jerk is the reason you're here.. looking for a job. He's the reason you didn't get your salary. His complaint was the reason you got fired.

"New manager?" the man who previously looked nervous no longer looks the same. "You think it'll be easy to find someone who can put up with all your tantrums and petty demands?" He laughs so hard he has to bend over to catch his breath.

Jungkook's eyes narrow and then he smiles. His smiles looks a little too menacing for your liking.

"Actually that's exactly what I think. How hard can it be, huh?" he scans through the crowd of people and you notice some of them take a few steps back or hide behind others.. but then his eyes land on you.

You glare back at him, fists clenched on your side. His eyes widened at the sight of you. He's recognised you.

He slightly tilts his head to the side and looks at you amazed before casually strolling up to you. Everyone in the hall follows him with their eyes. But you refuse to stop glaring at him. He stops inches away from you stooping low so that his eyes are in line with yours.

"You'll do fine." he says with his menacing smile.

He walks behind you and pushes you forward to the center of the spectacle.

"Yah!" you yell at him. But he grabs you by your shoulder.

"This is my new manager." he announces, beaming at the crowd. And this time around people don't bother to whisper in secrecy.
