Stretching your arms and letting out a satisfied mewl, you slowly sit up in your bed, recalling last night's events. You narrow your eyes, letting out a scoff as you think about Min Yoongi's pathetic attempt at trying to convince you to fire your chef so he can be more profitable.

"Ugh... stupid, money-hungry asshole." You mumble to yourself as you start to get out of bed, your pink silk nightgown clinging onto your curves as you get out of bed, the matching pink eye mask sitting on your eyes.

Swinging your legs off of your bed, you push the pink eye mask off of your eyes and place it on your bedside table. As you try to stand up, you let out a soft groan as you feel the odd sensation between your legs.

That damned Min Yoongi. Why do men with amazing sex skills have to be jerks?

Continuing to walk at an agonizingly slow pace, you make your way downstairs to your kitchen. As you push open the kitchen doors, you see Seokjin wearing a pink apron preparing your breakfast. He glances over his shoulder for a moment before noticing that you were the one who entered the kitchen. His eyes slightly widen before he smiles at you, giving a small wave.

"Good morning, Y/N." You give Seokjin a small smile before lazily walking towards the stove as you glance over his broad shoulder. You place a hand on his shoulder as you thoughtlessly lean forward, staring down at the crepes being prepared in front of you. You inhale deeply, taking a sniff of the sweet pastry, topped with whipped cream, strawberries, bananas and some lechera. Your tongue glides along your upper lip as your hand tightens its grip around Seokjin's broad shoulder.

"Mmm... that looks so good." You say as your eyes light up while staring down at the pastry. You feel a rumble beneath your hand, caused by Seokjin's shoulders bouncing up and down as he lets out his signature windshield wiper laugh that you've grown accustomed to hearing. Your eyes widen as you realize how close you are to Seokjin. You slowly turn your head to meet Seokjin's eyes. He's holding in another laugh as he stares into your eyes before arching a brow.

"Can I help you?" He asks. You gulp before Seokjin looks away from you before turning his head back to face you, meeting your gaze once more with widened eyes, purses lips and a hilarious expression on his face. Your shoulders shake for a moment as you let out a laugh before letting go of his arm, walking away from him as you head towards the table. You hear Seokjin's voice behind you as you walk away. "WAH! Why'd you walk away, I thought we were having a moment, Y/N!" You roll your eyes as you let out another laugh.

"Oh God, stop it, Jin." You say with a laugh as you shake your head. You open your eyes from laughing after not hearing a response from Seokjin. He has an eyebrow arched, arms crossed, a smirk plastered on his face and a spatula in his hand. "What?"

"Oh, nothing," He starts before walking away towards the pan sitting on the stove once more. "You just called me 'Jin' is all..." He trails off, the smirk still very prominent on his face. You widen your eyes at the realization before you part your lips to speak. You're stopped by a signal of his hand. You close your mouth and watch as Jin lifts another crepe from his pan, placing it on an empty plate before he speaks once more.

"No take-backs, angel. Now," he says before stepping away from the stove, placing a plate down in front of you on the table along with extra toppings. "Sit down, enjoy the crepes and say 'thank you, Mr. Worldwide Handsome Jin' when you finish eating." He says with a wink before he steps away from the table to start cleaning up the kitchen.

You lift your eyebrows in shock, crossing your arms as you think about how he actually said that. You roll your eyes before sitting down, grabbing your knife and fork angrily before cutting deeply into the crepe.

Seokjin arches a brow as he notices your attitude, holding in a laugh as he turns away from you.

As you're ready to take a bite of your crepe, Jimin nervously walks into the kitchen, scratching the back of his neck. He stands in front of you, eyes glued to the floor as he avoids eye contact with you. You arch a brow, growing suspicious as you place the fork holding the crepe onto your plate.

Your mouth closes and you begin crossing your arms as Jimin remains quiet, his small fingers intertwining together as he avoids conversation. Letting a cough escape your throat, you stare up at him. His eyes meet yours and he gives a short, nervous laugh before glancing at Seokjin, who's also growing alert at Jimin's demeanor.

"Jiminie-ah," Seokjin says as he steps away from the pan he was scrubbing. "Why are you acting like that?"

"A-acting like what?" He asks nervously before looking back at you, his eyes widening as yours narrow. "Okay, okay. Something bad happened." He says with a groan as he bends over, his head in his hands as he tugs on the ends of his hair, his head softly shaking back and forth.

You've never seen Jimin this panicked during his entire time working for you. This causes you to push your chair away from the table, fully standing up.

"Jimin, what's wrong? Did someone hurt you?" You ask as you see his petite frame slightly shaking out of nervousness. You walk over to him, your firm and harsh gaze now turning into a gentle and caring one. "If someone hurt you, tell me their name now. I'll send someone to press charges for you." You say immediately.

He shakes his head as he looks up at you, tears in his eyes as he speaks.

"Y/N, please don't be mad at me," He says, his hands grabbing onto yours as he bows his head apologetically. You widen your eyes at his actions before glancing up at Seokjin. Seokjin merely shrugs before mouthing 'ask him what's going on.' You nod your head and then look back down at Jimin who still won't maintain eye contact, his eyes glued to your feet covered in the pink, fluffy slippers. "M-Mr. Min... he's... he's threatening to do s-something bad." He nervously stutters.

"What?" You ask before Jimin looks up at you, squeezing your hands in his.

"Please don't fire me, Y/N. This is the only job I've enjoyed having, please." He says before you tilt your head to the side.

"Jimin-ah, I have never had an assistant as reliable and understanding as you. I wouldn't fire you just because a businessman is threatening my company." You say before speaking again. "Now, what happened?" Jimin sniffles a little, his eyes glazed in tears as he stares at you, nodding slowly.

"W-when I was escorting him out last night... everything s-seemed fine. H-he left without an issue," he starts before looking at the tiled kitchen floor. "B-but this m-morning he left y-you an email threatening t-to leak details on your newest skincare launch." He says. You arch a brow before shaking your head.

"Jimin-ah, I'm still confused. Why would that make me want to fire you? If anything, that's just a reason for me to potentially sue Mr. Min. That's not related to you whatsoever."

"B-because," Jimin was now in tears, causing Seokjin to walk over and begin rubbing his back. "When he was l-leaving I noticed him checking o-out my face and in the email h-he said the only way he w-wouldn't leak it is if..."

Your eyes widen as you wait for him to finish his sentence. But he didn't. He let his voice trail off into nothing as he wiped at his eyes with his sleeve, turning to Seokjin to hug him.

"Jimin-"

"Is if you fire me and let Mr. Min sign me as his new idol instead of Seokjin." He says, eyes meeting yours as your mouth opens in shock.

"Jimin, is that what you want?" You ask him quietly. He immediately shakes his head, grabbing onto your hands once more.

"No! I don't want you to fire me. I don't want to work for a selfish, sleazy guy like him."

You arch an eyebrow as you pause for a moment, closing your eyes and inhaling deeply.

"Jimin-ah," You say softly. "Did you think I'd actually consider caving into Mr. Min's blackmail?" You ask before opening your eyes to stare at the cute man. He bites into his lower lip as he shrugs.

"Your company is important to you and-"

"Jimin, you're not an object. The only way I'd even consider that offer, is if you wanted to be an idol. Do you want to be an idol?" Jimin shakes his head. "Then that's settled. My skincare product is an object, and I can always create new skincare products. There's only one Park Jimin and I wouldn't be able to recreate another you. You're not an object. You're a person. Don't compare your worth to a skincare product." You say before stepping towards Jimin, placing a hand on his shoulder. You walk with him towards the double kitchen doors, watching as his breathing returns to normal and his body relaxes.

"B-but if you're declining to comply with the blackmail, w-what are we going to do?" Jimin asks, eyes wide. You smile at his worry.

"Easy. We're suing Min Yoongi. You didn't delete the blackmail did you?" He shakes his head, causing a wide grin to form on your face. "Make copies of that email and forward the email to me. I'll send it to my lawyers and we'll show that scumbag not to mess with us." You say. Jimin nods, rushing into the living room before running up the stairs, nearly tripping on his way up. You let out a soft chuckle before walking back into the kitchen, sitting in your chair at the dining table and taking a bite of the crepe.

Seokjin is staring at you with amazement in his eyes. You feel his stare and look up at him, furrowing your eyebrows.

"What?" You ask, mouth stuffed with the warm crepe. Seokjin smiles before sitting on the chair next to you, leaning back as he relaxes.

"You're probably the least corrupt business owner I've met," You arch a brow, urging him to continue. "Any other business owner would've given up an employee in a heartbeat to make millions." You swallow the bit of crepe in your mouth before speaking.

"Yeah, well, I'm not 'any other business owner,' Seokjin. I'm Y/N. The reason my products do well is because I have integrity."

"It's funny actually," he continues. "You're smart and ethical when it comes to employees... yet you pick the worst men to sleep with." Your body fills with rage as you give him a death glare. He smiles at your reaction, waiting for you to yell.

To his surprise, you don't.

"And what does my sex life have to do with my business, Mr. Kim?" He holds his hands up defensively.

"Nothing," he pauses. "It's just that, maybe it'd be best to stop letting them stay the night. If you had slept with Mr. Min then let him leave, you wouldn't have had to deal with that." He says with a shrug.

"Although you have a point, I can invite whoever I want and sleep with whoever I want." Seokjin nods his head.

"I know," he pauses before leaning forward a little, lowering his voice. "I'm just saying maybe you should settle down with someone. A smart businesswoman like you doesn't deserve just one-time hookups. You deserve someone who can make you happy every time."

"I settled down once, he almost ruined my career." You say with an arched brow.

"Oh, and Mr. Min didn't just attempt to do that? You're not dating him and even he tried to." he says. "Just consider it."

"Settling down?"

"Or at least get one fuck buddy, so you're not bringing random men in here and making me cook for them."

"You're my chef. You're getting paid to cook for me and whomever I ask you to cook for. What's your problem with it?" A small smile creeps into his face.

"My problem," he leans forward to mumble into your ear. "Is that you should be sleeping with someone who can actually satisfy you. Not someone who gets off, leaves you unfinished, and expects to be served food afterwards without doing their job. My problem is that you should be sleeping with me."

He smirks before pulling away from your ear, biting onto his lower lip. He slowly stands up and begins to walk away from the kitchen table to scrub dishes again.

You're left blushing, eyes wide and lips parted as you stare in his direction. He continues lathering the soap onto dishes, acting as if he hadn't just said any of that.

Seokjin notices that he doesn't hear you cutting the crepe or eating, causing him to glance back at you.

"Y/N, princess, if you're going to have your mouth open, you might as well finish eating your crepe. Wouldn't want you feeling... unsatisfied... now do we?" he softly laughs before shaking his head. "Just kidding."

***********
One thing I took note of is that Seokjin will act confident when others are being shy (in real life). I kinda play this into some scenarios. He can be really introverted, shy and quiet but he has his moments of putting on a faux cocky persona. I notice that a lot.

I also added a few other little quirks that Seokjin has like him blinking a lot from contact lenses and other things like that. You'll see that in the future chapters.

So, onto what's going on in the world.

I never watched Black Panther, I'm not going to lie and pretend I watched it. However, even though I never saw this movie, I'm pretty sure that anyone who read about Chadwick Boseman's story was inspired by him. He was struggling behind the scenes but still gave his all when it comes to his acting and passions in life. He also managed to make others feel inspired and he was a good role model for young children, specifically black children. It's rare to see black heroes in any stories, which sucks. But he changed that by being a part of that movie. I saw that he went to a hospital and visited a little girl who was sick. He was secretly struggling but still wanted to make her smile and give her hope. I think that's beautiful. He was a beautiful human being and a role model to many. What I'm hoping is that his acting will allow for more black superheroes in the future bc there's a lack of that and we could sure as hell use some to represent the black heroes in real life. Rest in power.

A lot of schools here are having surges of COVID cases (not surprising). I'm also seeing that people are being reinfected which is terrifying. Be careful out there, guys. Wear masks if you go out, bring hand sanitizer or sanitizing wipes and wash your hands when you get a chance to. Don't touch your face (this is also a tip for acne so this should already be something you should try not to do). Eat at least 1 healthy meal with veggies or fruits and exercise (doesn't have to be too intense of a workout but like 10 minutes a day is recommended).

I'm gonna call out a celebrity. Bella Thorne made an onlyfans account (when she literally is an actress and doesn't even need income from there while some people use onlyfans for income). I will not slut-shame her bc I don't stand for that. The only reason I'm calling her out is because this girl made millions in 24 hours and false-advertised being naked. Now, onlyfans is changing their terms and making it harder for the people who are using onlyfans as a source of income to make money on it. I would've called out any celeb who did this bc this is wrong. That's how some people make a living and she made that 100000 times harder than it already was.

Let's talk about how a 17-year-old MURDERER who killed 2 people got past the cops after committing the murders. He illegally owned the gun and I'm seeing some people saying it was self-defense? If this was a black boy, he would've probably been brutally arrested and/or killed. Tamir Rice, for example, was playing with a TOY gun (a FAKE gun) and was killed for it. Clearly, there's something wrong with the system here for this to happen. The only way for it to be fixed is by people using their platforms to call out this issue.

But regardless of all of these things happening right now, there's some good things as well.

I know some of you might be starting classes this week. I'm sure all of you are very smart and will do really well in your classes!

BTS IS NUMBER ONE ON BILLBOARD HOT 100!!! The fact that this happened the week of Jungkookie's birthday makes that achievement even more special. I'm so proud of them. I really hope that the next #1 is a song in Korean though so they're even more proud.

I hope all of you have been taking care of yourselves and your mental health. I really hope that Dynamite helped boost your moods bc that's all the boys wanted to do with that song in the first place.

Don't forget to do one self care activity every day, drink a lot of water, eat healthy foods, exercise, and overall take care of yourselves.

I love all of you.

Kim 💗
