"I'm so full!" Jin said cheerfully, as he drove us back to work.

"Me too hyung! Thanks for paying for us!" Taehyung chimed in.

"It was very good, and thank you." I added, I was surprised Jin had paid for all of our meals, but was appreciative.

"Cora, who's your favorite BTS member now?" Jin asked me, smirking expectantly.

Does he want me to say it's him now, after he treated us for lunch?

"It's still me right, Cora?" Taehyung asked, smiling brightly.

"Yes it's still you, Taehyung." I glanced over at Jin.

Jin looked slightly disappointed. "Okay but, who's your second favorite?" Jin asked, looking hopeful.

Again I hesitated, and now they both looked at me curiously. "Honestly, it's Junkgook." I finally answered.

Jin again looked dissatisfied, while Taehyung chuckled.

"But, I love every member!" I said hoping Jin felt a little better. He's such an underrated member.

"Here we are." Jin pulled up to the parking lot.

Thankfully arriving at work ended anymore awkwardness between us.

"Thanks again for the wonderful lunch," I jolted out of the car, and sped walked to the building.

I had enough of these two fighting over who was going to be the gentleman, I didn't have time for their silliness.

"See you later Cora!" Taehyung waved cutely. I waved back at them, and noticed Jin intently watching me as I walked away.

Finally that's over, I sighed and went back to my cubicle to finish my paperwork .

•••

I glanced at my watch and it was finally 5:00 pm! I got up and collected my things to leave.

Before I could leave, Heather strolled over to my desk. "Cora, please come into my office,"

I obediently followed Heather to her office, she closed the door and peaked out of her office window.

"Good, everyone is leaving." She sat down on her leather couch. Her office was huge! She had a black leather couch, beautiful plants, bookcases filled with a variety of books, and even a closet.

"How was your first day?" She asked me curiously.

"It was great!" I replied enthusiastically.

"That's good to hear! So, I saw you leaving with Jin and Taehyung for lunch. How was that?" Heather asked with an even bigger grin on her face.

"It was fun, but a bit awkward. We got to eat some delicious Korean food!"

How'd I get so lucky?

"Just be careful, some other people noticed you with them. You don't want the office to be gossiping. Remember workplace romances, while not prohibited, are looked down upon. We are a professional company that has high expectations." Heather said sternly.

"Yes, I know Heather. I can't even tell our coworkers we're friends."

"Cora, once you move up we can reveal our friendship."

"You want to promote me?" I asked eagerly.

"Well one day, of course!" Heather said winking. "So what are you doing after work today?"

"Nothing...why?" I asked suspiciously. The suspicious grin on her face made me know she was up to something.

"I'm having a get together with the executives and company friends. We will be celebrating for Jin's promotion. Wanna come?"

"Heather, you know I never go to parties! I only went to your birthday parties!"

"Please Cora! All the higher ups know about you, so we won't have to hide our friendship. I had to get their approval to hire you. I told them that despite your lack of experience, you would be an asset to our company, and you can keep a secret."

"I don't know Heather. I'm kinda awkward with Jin, and he seems to enjoy it. Every time I'm around him he keeps teasing me." I pouted.

"Of course he does, he likes you too!" She teased.

"No, he doesn't! He even said I'm not his type!" I said angrily, remembering what he said to me  in his car.

"I don't know about that, I just have a feeling. Please Cora, come! It'll be so boring without you!" Heather whined, holding onto my hands.

I almost wanted to agree, she has done so much for me. Helping me out in high school against bullies, and getting me this job. I owe her so much!

"If you come, you'll meet the right people, and could get a promotion even faster."

I thought it over. I was unemployed for so long, and my parents were supporting me. I barely made above minimum wage as an intern here. I had student loans piling up, and I could greatly use the promotion. I couldn't rely on my parents anymore, I felt guilty letting them pay my rent. I promised them, if I didn't find a well paying job by the end of the year, I would move back in with them until I found work.

"Okay, I'll go." I said begrudgingly.

"Yes!" Heather practically jumped for joy.

"Come by 7 pm, it's gonna be at the Ritz hotel banquet hall. Tell them you're with Heather Skye."

"Ok I'll see you then."

"Do you have a dress?"

"What? Yeah... I think I have something." I think I could probably wear my high school prom dress... that's the only fancy dress I own.

"You know what, I have a dress in my closet."

She pulled out a beautiful black sequins gown from her closet. It even had sequin matching heels.

"I can't wear that! And why do you have a dress in your closet at work?" I asked astonished.

"You never know!" She said, as if this is a totally normal thing for her.

"Your makeup looks fine like this, just add some smokey eye shadow and lipstick. I'll send you a YouTube video to learn. And your hair, just wear it the way I did it at my birthday party."

"But I don't have makeup, or know how to do my hair!"

"Here, borrow mine." She handed me her makeup bag she used for clients with luxurious makeup brands.

"Just wear your hair down with a nice hair clip. It'll look good since I permed it."

"You're too kind Heather, thank you!"
I gratefully accepted, feeling like Heather was my fairy Godmother.
