"Jungkook hurry up I'm already so damn late." you rushed Jungkook while he was concentrating on driving.
"Y/n relax. We are almost there." he said trying to calm you down.
"I'm so dead if he is in a bad mood." you started to worry a lot.
"Will you chill please. It's not your fault that you car broke down in the middle of the road." Jungkook tried to be positive.
"Yeah but I did oversleep and left home late." you said hating yourself to letting sleep get you. The whole night you were up thinking about everything that happened and about the promise you made to that man. You prayed that he doesn't show up again. You also couldn't help but think about Jimin and ended up falling asleep late.
Jungkook really is your savior, he always comes running whenever you call. He has always been like that since childhood days and you easily got used to it. But now you feel bad. He stopped in front your company building and smiled.
"Ok precious go work well. I'll have your car fixed."
"Thanks Kook, you are my angel." You leaned in and gave a quick kiss to his cheek before getting down. He flashed a big bunny smile that made you smile as well.
"See you tomorrow. I'm coming over to your place since it's the weekend." you waved once he gave a nod and hurried in. You checked the time and it was almost 9.30 am, you prayed for Jimin to not be in his office as you nervously tapped your foot waiting for the elevator to reach your floor. Everything was not right, you were not the self you built up anymore. You feel weak, nervous, angry and scared at times, these are emotions that haven't felt in a while. All of this are triggered by Jimin and your helpless self can't do anything about it.
Taking a deep breath you entered the office space where you shared with Jimin. Still holding on to the opened door, you let out a relieved sigh when the office was empty. I'm saved! you thought but it only took a second when you heard his annoyed voice behind you.
"Is this a time to come to work?"
You froze immediately to the coldness of his voice. He was still mad and you being late made it worse. Shit! He walked pass you and turned to look at you.
"I'm sorry J-Jimin. My car broke down on my way and I had to take care of it." You swallowed nervously as you spoke.
"Don't you know to inform your boss if you are going to be late. What if I had an important meeting?" he asked shoving his hands into his pockets.
"I'm sorry. I knew you didn't have any meeting so I didn't think that far." you said giving your best innocent sorry eyes to him. You saw him softened a little.
"Look y/n, we are in middle of crisis now because of the recent incident. I want you to take things seriously. I'm already stressed enough and have a lot to deal with. And you know that I need your help in most of the things. So every second matters right now." he said more calmly after letting out a sigh.
"I understand. I will help you with everything today. It won't happen again." you apologized again and Jimin gave a nod.
" I have to go get some work done. I left some files on your desk, complete them before you go home today." he said and you gave a nod.
"Oh and I need you to book flights to New York and make three days reservations for this coming Monday for three people." he said pulling out his phone and typing something.
"Sure, can I get the details of the people who I need to make reservations for?" you asked in a small voice.
"I just emailed you the details of Hoseoks and mine. As for the third person you can fill it yourself because it will be you." he said before walking out. You didn't have time to react as he disappeared out of the door. It was not surprising because in your agreement it was stated that you were required to go out anywhere with the CEO for work matters. And right now the company is a mess so you head to your desk and followed the instructions in the email to make the reservations.
Even though you have never been to New York, you didn't want to get excited because you knew you will be going for work. Ignoring your thoughts, you got back to work. You went through the files Jimin has kept for you and your eyes widened. After seeing tons of things to do, one thing was sure, you were not going home anytime soon today.
"Hey, wanna have lunch together? I got us some sandwiches." Yuna's voice snapped you out of the busy work mode. You looked at the time and it was already 1 pm. You have been working non stop to get the work done. So you decided you could use a break.
"Sure." you kept everything aside neatly and stood up to go to the break room with Yuna. It's been a while since you both had a proper meal. You both have quick meals all the time. But it's only for few more days.
"How is work these days. You seem very busy lately." Yuna said handing you a sandwich.
"Yes it's hectic after those concepts got leaked. We are flying to New York this monday for it so I have alot of things to complete today before going back home." you told her taking quick bites to get back to work.
"Yeah I heard it's crazy and I felt sorry for that man that day. But there are rumors in the company that he sold the information to our competitors for a huge amount of cash." Yuna said sipping her drink.
"Really?" you asked feeling sad thinking about that man. You promised to talk to Jimin but you were unable to do that.
"Yup. And I heard that the company is going to sue him." she said making you feel bad.
"I don't think he did it. He seemed very innocent." You really believed that he was treated unfair. Jimin could have been a little nicer to him without being so coldhearted. How can that poor man survive all of this.
"You should never trust what you see. People are much more complicated than how they appear to be ." she said seriously. You gave a nod and finished off eating quickly while having a small chat.
Your phone rang and you answered when it displayed 'Pervert' on your screen. Everytime you see that name you always sigh and roll your eyes.
"Hello." you answered while walking back to the office.
"Where are you?" was the first thing he asked.
"I went to the washroom." you said opening the door. Jimin was standing in middle looking at your empty desk.
"I'm here." you announced putting the phone away. He turned to you and asked for Mr. Ji Hoon's file which was sent to you earlier by HR. Is he really going to sue him? You didn't want to get told off again so you just gave him the file.
You watch him take it and go to his seat. You started working like a maniac again. The work was just too much. Finally! Few more pages left. You sighed flipping the pages. You checked the time and it was almost 7pm. No wonder you were feeling so tired. You stretched out your stiff back and let out a small yawn before continuing.
Jimin was watching you for the last few minutes. He couldn't help but smile seeing you yawn so cutely. He could see that you are really tired and working hard despite what fit he threw at you. Jimin kind of felt bad that he kept yelling and scolding you since yesterday. It was the first time he was under so much pressure that he couldn't get his mind straight to get the work done. A huge investment and jobs of some employees were at risks. Now that he had finally figured out the whole situation. Jimin was much calm.
When he saw you rubbing your eyes trying to keep them open, Jimin got up from his seat. You were so lost in the documents that you didn't notice him passing by. He went down to the café and got you a coffee thinking it might help you a little. He was waiting for an important confirmation to finish off his work and he didn't know how long it will take.
The walk to the café took longer than he expected and he felt bad for sending you all the way there to get coffee that day. As he entered the office his heart softened and a small smile tugged his lips when he saw that you have fallen asleep on the desk. He walked over to you and peeked at the screen. You had finished all the work so he decided to let you sleep for a while. He kept the coffee on the desk and half sat on the corner of the table looking down at you.
He was suddenly reminded of the college times with you. After having that assignment together, he kept seeing you looking at him from afar. You used to be a quiet, calm and a nice girl. He still remembers how you almost fell down the stairs walking while your eyes were too busy following him around. He did see that, but he pretended that he didn't because he didn't want to make you feel embarrassed.
He always found you cute and beautiful. It's killing him to know what happened to you. What made you change so much. No matter how cold you try to look, deep down Jimin knew that it was all an act. You were not showing the real you.
Your soft cheeks and pink lips were puffed out as your face was pressed against your hand. He chuckled lightly and admired your face with a soft smile. He felt the lust he had for you was slowly changing but he was not ready to admit it. In fact he would never admit it.
Jimin got startled a little as his phone started ringing. He quickly jumped off the table and answered the phone walking towards his seat. You woke up to the sudden noise. When you lifted your head your eyes grew wide awake when you saw Jimin on the phone near his desk. Crap!
When did he come in?
Did he see me dozing off?
Shit y/n! You stupid woman. Ugh.
You started cursing yourself hoping that he just walked in and didn't see you sleeping. When you looked at your desk, you noticed a cup of coffee which was not there earlier. You hung your head low realizing that he did see you sleeping. But then you have completed everything so you didn't have to worry that much, you thought.
"Did you have a good nap princess?" his voice made you look up at him. You wondered if you would get another scolding but to your surprise Jimin was smiling a little.
"Sorry for dozing off. I didn't mean to." you said in a low voice.
"That's fine. Drink that, you will feel better." he said eyeing you the coffee in front of you.
"Me?" you asked wondering if it's for you.
"Yes. I got it for you." he said printing out some documents.
"Thanks." you said with a small smile and took the cup of coffee. The smell of the coffee and the taste of it felt like heaven. You were craving for some good caffeine since the stress and lack of sleep was eating you up. You were thankful to Jimin. You never thought he would have a heart to do something this nice.
You watched Jimin arrange some documents into a file and clear up his desk. He removed his blazer and took the file and his things to go.
"Come on lets go." he said to you, making you confuse.
"Where?" you asked without thinking much.
"Home. I'll drop you off." he said.
"Why?" you asked wondering.
"What do you mean why. It's already so late and didn't you say your car broke down." he reminded.
"Oh yes. Thanks. I forgot about it." you said with a silly smile.
"So shall we?" he waited for you to get up.
"Sure. Just give me 5 minutes." you excused yourself and went to the washroom to freshen up.

"Do you mind if we stop by somewhere urgently before heading home?" Jimin asked as he drove.
"No that's fine." you said honestly. You didn't care where he made stops as long as he was taking you home. You felt your phone vibrating in your bag but you didn't dare to take it out. You haven't checked your messages or returned Jungkook's or Taehyung's calls the whole day as it was so hectic. Since you will be home in few minutes you just let it be.
Jimin stopped in front of a hospital confusing you. You looked at him and he just smiled and asked you to give him a hand before getting out. Jimin took out a basket of fruits from the back seat which you didn't notice that was there earlier as he handed it to you. He took out a file and locked the doors.
"It won't take long." he said looking at you and you gave a nod following him.
"Are we visiting someone?" you asked out of curiosity.
"Hmm." he hummed as a bigger smile appeared on his face. He looked a little happy and excited. You didn't understand what was there in a hospital to make him look like that. To you hospitals are a depressing and a sad place.
You and Jimin stood in front of a patient's room. Jimin cleared his throat and knocked on the white door before entering. You saw a very old lady lying on the bed and a man seated next to her, holding her hand.
You let out a small surprised gasp when the man turned around. It was Ji Hoon, the employee from yesterday. His face lit up when he saw you and Jimin.
"Oh my god Mr. Park." he quickly stood up and bowed forward to greet Jimin with full respect and to you as well which you returned. You didn't know what was happening but seeing him no longer in pain kind of relieved you. You handed him the basket and he took it smiling brightly at you.
"Mr. Ji Hoon, how is your grandma doing?" Jimin asked in a soft caring voice.
"She is doing fine all thanks to you Mr. Park. I'm so thankful to you." he said happily.
"Tomorrow onwards you will be working as an executive in our sub branch, the office next to this hospital. So you wouldn't have to be burdened that much. I did my best to get you this opportunity after seeing your work and loyalty. I hope you don't disappoint me." Jimin said handing over the file to him. Ji Hoon looked shocked as he opened the file. Tears welled up in his eyes and soon after he started tearing up.
"Thank you Mr. Park. Thank you for believing in me. I will do my best to repay your kindness." he bowed and thanked Jimin over and over again. It was very emotional to see him and you felt so happy for him. He looked genuinely happy and blessed. The man who was on his knees in pain yesterday was smiling so happily today here in front of you.
"It's fine really. Just take good care of your grandma and your child." Jimin said patting the mans back.
You watched Jimin walk towards the old lady who was watching with tears in her eyes. She looked weak and had an oxygen mask on. Jimin took her hand in both of his and smiled sweetly at her. The sight fluttered your heart a bit.
"Halmonei.. eat well and get better soon ok. Your grandson is a very honest man. You should be proud of him." he said in a sweet honey voice to her. She gave a slight nod looking happy and emotional.
"I'll be going now. Take care Halmonei." he patted her hand gently and kept it carefully on the bed.
"We will be going then. Good luck with your new post." Jimin wished the man and he thanked him once again and to you as well even though you didn't do anything for him.
Your stared at Jimin's back as he was walking in front of you. What are you? you wanted to ask. One minute he is so cold and the next he is the warmest person you have ever seen.
"Jimin. What happened between Mr. Ji Hoon and the company really?" you asked because your curiosity was killing you. You thought he would be a jerk and ignore you, but fortunately he didn't and replied.
"Well one of the competitors had been eyeing our new project so they have been hunting a weak link in the team handling it. Ji Hoon is from a very poor family with so many issues. His grandmother was sick and needed treatments. So they made an anonymous offer to Ji Hoon. But he is an honest man, instead of leaking the information and taking the money, he told this to the head manager. But he wasn't like Ji Hoon, even though it was his responsibility, he leaked the info and took the money. Since Ji Hoon was the only one who knew it, he tried to frame him. But luckily I was able to find out the truth." Jimin said smiling.
"How?" you asked feeling amazed by him.
"Perks of people not knowing me princess. Going under cover was a piece of cake." he winked making you blush a little.
"Oh. I'm glad that the truth came out. I was feeling bad for Mr. Ji Hoon. But how did you know he didn't do it in the first place? I remember Hoseok taking the managers side." you thought about it for a while.
"I never take decisions without a proper inquiry. So I just took my time." he replied. A smile escaped your lips. You really thought wrong of Jimin regarding this matter. He was more thoughtful than any of them. And the way he treat elders just melts your heart. You stared at him as he drove you home. The only thing that was running in your head was,
Park Jimin...You are so complicated!
