《Mr. Boss | ✓》IV

You're too shocked to say anything or react in any way. His words ring in your ears but make absolutely no sense.

Jungkook smiles at you. That devilish smile stretching his lips. And you never hoped for anything more than to have another cup of steaming hot coffee at that moment.

The man Jungkook called PD-min looks defeated, rubbing a hand across his wrinkled forehead. You desperately look around for Sunghyun. When you finally spot him your stomach drops. He looks really mad... Reeeaally mad.

Oh boy, I'm so dead.

Finally finding the courage, you turn to face Jungkook and give him the sweetest smile before you stamp his foot with all the strength you can muster. His eyes widen as he grabs hold of his foot and swears loudly.

You frantically look around for Sunghyun again and catch his retreating back just in time.

"Sunghyun-ah! I'm so sorry! Sunghyun-ah!!" You try to catch up to him but he's too fast.

When least expected, he stops and turns around without warning and you run right into his chest. "Yah!" you mutter rubbing your nose.

"Why can't you just listen to me? I told you to stay in my office, didn't I!?" He looks hurt and annoyed, which confuses you.

"I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to. I just..." You plead.

"Ughhh... Y/N! You don't know what that man's like!" He runs a hand through his hair and for a minute you worry if he'll simply yank all the hair on his head off.

You laugh a mirthless laugh. "As a matter of fact, I do. He was the man I dumped coffee on and got fired for."

Sunghyun looks at you dumbfounded. "What?"

Before you can continue a man interrupts you. "Sunghyun, Bang PD-min wants to see you... And the girl. Now."

You look at Sunghyun and see him gulp.

Great! I messed up again.

Sunghyun grabs your wrist and drags you along, as if you'd run off and create more trouble if he didn't, passing a series of glass doors. You stop before another glass door but this cabin looks bigger than all of the others you've been dragged past. "CEO: Bang Shihyuk" reads the label on the door.

Sunghyun let's go of your hand and takes a deep breath before knocking on the door.

"Come in." Says a rather bored sounding voice from the other side.

You follow Sunghyun keeping your graze on the floor all the while. You don't dare look up for the fear of making another mistake.

"Sunghyun, I've been told that this young lady is a friend of yours. Is that right?" The man on the other side of the desk inquires and you can guess who he is. His voice is composed and stern.

"Yes, PD-nim." Sunghyun answers.

"Jungkook here feels she'll be ideal for the position of his manager."

Your head shoots up at the mention of that name and sure enough, he's seated comfortably in one of the chairs looking right at you. Your eyes narrow immediately and you move towards him but a strong hand grips your wrist and stops you.

"Sir, she's inexperienced to take on such a big role."

"Let the girl talk... I'm sure she's capable of at least that much." This time around it's not Bang Shihyuk who speaks and you recognise that cocky drawl all too well.

"Sir, I agree with Sunghyun. I came in looking for a temporary job." You speak up.

"The problem is; we currently don't have anyone to fill in the vacancy.. and we are a bit desperate especially since Jungkook over here, decided to take matters into his own hands." Bang Shihyuk says while glaring at Jungkook his voice hardening. But he's unaffected.

"We promise to provide good pay and benefits if you take up the job" The CEO is no longer talking to Sunghyun but is directly addressing you. "I understand it is unfair to ask you to give a prompt answer. Take the day to think it over and I hope to receive an answer by tomorrow. Does that sound good?" He asks smiling. You're surprised at how his features transform to make him look... kind.

"Yes, Thank you Bang Shihyuk-shi." You bow and prepare to leave.

Sunghyun whispers to you, "Stay in my office, I'll be there in a while. Y/N, stay out of trouble, okay?" His voice pleads with you.

You walk through the well-lit corridors past more cabins and cubicles trying to recall the path back to Sunghyun's office when you feel someone following you and turn around.

"What do you want?" You're surprised at how harsh your voice sounds.

"Definitely, nothing from you," Jungkook says managing to shove you hard with his shoulder while walking past.

You want to run after him and rip all the hair off of his head.. but think better of it.

It doesn't help that where ever you turn you see posters of that jerk. There he is, in a well-fitting suit smiling dreamily at you. Over there he stands in a yellow t-shirt flashing a toothy smile that honestly makes him look like a rabbit. A few steps away, there's a poster of 7 very good looking men and it takes you a while to realise Jungkook's among them.

This must be the group he belongs to.

An eternity later Sunghyun walks into his office looking as tired as the CEO did. You immediately stand up but don't say anything. Sunghyun throws himself onto the sofa and leans his head back covering his eyes with the crook of his arm. You tentatively sit next to him but don't say anything.

Suddenly he starts laughing to himself. "Quite a day, isn't it?" he says and you feel relief wash over you that he's not mad anymore. "Y/N, you're such a troublemaker".

"I'm so sorry, Sunghyun-ah!!" You say, playfully pushing him back and forth. He grabs you in a headlock and ruffles your hair.

"Yah! Stop it!! Yaaaah!" You protest.

After having laughed till your stomachs ache you pathetically lie on the sofa beside one another.

"What are you going to do now? Are you going to take up the job?" Sunghyun asks the questions that were popping into your own head.

"I was thinking.. is it really a bad idea?... I mean I am only doing this for the money and I'm sure this would pay far more than serving grumpy customers coffee and cleaning up after them." You choose your words carefully because the last thing you want is to anger him. You're unable to look at him as you talk but feel his gaze bearing into your skull.

"I was afraid you'd say that. Look Y/N you don't know what Jungkook's like. You think he's a jerk but that's just the tip of the iceberg. He's.. he's.. I'm just worried for you, okay?" His borrows draw closer in worry.

"Aiggo Sunghyun-ah, I know you are." You gently place your hand over his. "Besides you'll be there to help me if that jerk plays any of his games."

He carefully listens for the door to close behind Y/N and the minute it happens he looks directly at PD-nim.

"PD-min I'd like to talk to you.. in private." He emphasises the last two words to drive the point home.

"Ahhh Sunghyun, you're so subtle," Jungkook says getting up. "Besides, the last thing I want is to sit here and listen to you talk." With that said he begins to walk towards the door but stops with his hand on the handle. "Sunghyun, is she your Girlfriend?"

He feels the heat rush to his face and looks down hoping nobody would notice.

As he hears Jungkook snort and his fist automatically clench by his side.

"Sunghyun, have a seat" PD-nim indicates to the seat in front of him. "What is it that you wanted to talk to me about?"

"Umm... PD-nim, I really don't think Y/N is right for this job.."

"I know why you're saying that. You don't think she'll be safe.. especially with the reputation Jungkook has created for himself."

He finds himself nodding.

"She's quite a feisty little thing. I don't think you should be worrying about her, she'll be able to handle Jungkook just right." Bang Shihyuk's tone is light.

He smiles in agreement.
