Chaeyoung needs Jungkook's help. She had told her adoptive family that he already has a boyfriend and refused to meet other men that her adoptive father trying to set her up.
Thus, her adoptive family wanted a prove.
Chaeyoung's thought was in mess. She doesn't want to involve Jungkook in this matter...but she also doesn't want him to think she didn't take him seriously.
I need to talk about something with you, can I see you? - She typed the message before press the send button.
Chaeyoung's heart beating fast, what if he's busy? he's the CEO of Netflex while she just working at the pastry shop and still learning to be a patissier.
Sure can, when is it? I'm free after 3 tomorrow - Jungkook replied in less than a minute.
Chaeyoung feels relief knowing he has some free time tomorrow, then she replied - Okay, you don't need to come here..I will come and meet you at your office.

Jungkook's eyes widen looking at Chaeyoung's message. He presses the intercom asking his secretary to call Bambam in.
"Clear all my schedule after 3 tomorrow..." instruct Jungkook to Bambam once the guy enters his office.
Bambam nods and writing something on his ipad.
Jungkook looks around his office room... "Make sure my office in good condition first thing in the morning, hmmm...and make sure put some roses on the coffee table and my table too..."
Bambam nodded.
"...put some sweet fragrance...not too strong," Jungkook added.
Banbam nodded.
"....." Jungkook looks around trying to think of other things that he should do to his office.
"Is that all?" asked Bambam, trying not to show his confusion on why his boss suddenly wanted this and that to his room? Jeon Jungkook never cares about the decorations, all he cares about is his things were in an invisible place and easy for him to reach and find.
"... make sure my office is comfortable to stay and when she comes here she feels nice and wanted to stay longer."
Bambam raises his eyebrows...she. Oh.

Chaeyoung looks at her phone, she's 15 minutes late. This is all because of Lisa, the Thai girl trying to fix the oven and end up burnt. It takes an hour to clean the kitchen.

Chaeyoung sighs as the taxi stop in front of the Netflex headquarter. The 17floor building with contemporary design is one of the attractions in the city. She wanted to appreciate the artwork but she knows she doesn't have time for that. What if Jungkook only has an hour of free time? did he get annoyed with her?
_____
The whole staff in the building feels like the CEO was extra cautious today. The office hours start at 9am but the CEO Jeon Jungkook already in his office at 7am! and calling all managers meeting sharp at 9am! all the meeting changed to the early morning.
Then now, 2 minutes before 3 pm... the CEO was walking back and forth at the lobby in front of the reception area. This makes no other staff dare to walk or lounging in the lobby.
The chatty receptionists also become quiet when the CEO was in front of them. They don't even dare to leave the reception counter.
The receptionists wondering why the CEO at the lobby? why he keeps checking his suit and watch? and they heard a few times the CEO asking his assistant Bambam if the time already 3.00 pm? and when Bambam replied that it's already 3.10...their CEO looks worried and keeps checking his phone.
"Should I call her?" Jungkook looks at Bambam.
"I believe Ms.Park will inform you if anything happened or if she can't make it." Bambam knows his boss was excited and worried at the same time.
"But what if she forgot?" Jungkook asked again.
"I don't think-"
"Jungkook!" - Avoice from the entrance make Jungkook's face change even before he turns and looks at the person. His legs automatically walking forward.
"I'm sorry I'm late," Chaeyoung walking fast as she meets Jungkook halfway at the lobby.
He could see she was in a short breath and her forehead cover with sweat. He cursed in his head when he could find his handkerchief in his pocket...
"It's okay, My schedule ended early today. Let's go to my office."
He gently pulled her hand and guide her to the elevator. They both didn't even notice how curious the receptionists looking at them.
In just a few minutes, the staff Kakaotalk chatgroup filled with gossip... the reason why the CEO standing in the lobby was that he's waiting for a woman! and he held her hand! Who's that woman?

Chaeyoung can't help but glance down at her hand in Jungkook's big one. He had held her hand before when he showed her the greenhouse on the rooftop...and he had also held her hands when they had se-NO!!-Chaeyoung cursed in her head at the thought of that specific night.
But despite everything that happened, Jungkook never simply touch her.
Arriving on the 17th floor, she was in awe when she could see the city through the glass wall. There are only a few work station on this floor and her eyes catch the sign of the Secretarial Department before Jungkook leading her to one big door with the sign 'Chief Executive Officer'.
Her heart blooming when she reads the name below the sign- Jeon Jungkook
The same man who walking beside her and holding her hand firmly in his.
A small smile appears on her face when she steps into his office. It's big just like how she thought and what made her smile was a few roses inside the vases.
"Do you mind to have a late lunch with me here?" asked Jungkook as he invites her to sit on the sofa.
"You haven't eaten yet?" She asked back.
"My meeting ended at 3," He lied. He finished his work and everything even before 12 and was busy to make sure his office in good condition and suit for Chaeyoung taste.
"Actually I come to talk about my fami-"
"We can talk while we eat, don't worry..." Jungkook smiles, her hand still in his...his thumb pressing and kneading lightly on her palm.
"Let's meet with my parents."
Jungkook nearly chokes on his foods when he hard that. He turns to look at Chaeyoung, he catches how nervous she looked and as if something is troubling her.
"The old man you met before told my parents about what happened and they want to meet you. But if you don't-"
"I want to meet them," He cut her off. Jungkook knew a little but much about Chaeyoung and her adoptive family, he has known she wanted to be free from them too.
"I'm sorry..."
"Why you're sorry?" asked Jungkook. He doesn't like it when Chaeyoung feels apologetic towards him. Does she forget that he had confessed his feeling to her? Does she forget he forced her to give him a chance?
"My parents are not like other parents...I am just their adopted child and-"
He grabs her hand and caresses it. "It's okay, you can tell me after we eat, I don't have any schedule after this."
That's what he said until Bambam knocks on his door. Jungkook wanted to ignore but Chaeyoung asked him to let Bambam in.
Jungkook smiled at her before excusing himself to the door, instead of letting Bambam step inside, Jungkook step off of his office and close the door.
"I told you not to disturb me," his eyes piercing to his assistant.
"I'm sorry, but an important foreign investor makes a sudden visit. They willing to wait-"
"Ask them to come tomorrow."
"They refused because they also bring the project paper you waited from them since months ago...unless you want to let go of the project..."
Jungkook sighed.
At the end, he told Chaeyoung to wait in his office as he needs to attend an urgent meeting. Thank God, she agreed after he said she can watch Netflex from the television in his office, and she even gets to watch yet-to-release episodes with his Netflex account.
The meeting takes an hour and by the time Jungkook step into his office, he sees Chaeyoung fell asleep on the couch in a sitting position. Her mouth opens a little and he could hear her tired breathe.
Carefully he closes the door and locks it. He walks toward her, making sure his movement quiet. Jungkook sits beside her and looking at her sleeping face. He chuckles when he sees her head nodding to the side but it still didn't wake her.
One of his hands reaches to her head, the other one gently pulling her shoulder to rest her head on his lap.
"Maybe I should straightaway asking your hand in marriage when I meet your parents...you don't need to work hard like this and you can just rest at home watching Netflex the whole day and maybe spend all the money I made."
