Since the past few days, I've been going to bed around 10 and I kept waking up at my usual 5 am and I keep getting enough sleep. I was pretty shocked when I could actually get a good sleep in years after Jungkook's massage.

The boy knew magic, I park my car and head to my office.

"You look so much better, you look so beautiful" Yieun says

"You make it sound like I've been looking bad, Ms. Shin" I laugh walking to my office

"Good morning ma'am" Jungkook says

Waiting for me, in front of my desk. As I take a seat, he does too. He's been wearing so many colors lately, I keep missing his all black fits

Black did him better than anything else

"You have a company meeting the first thing, it's scheduled for 10 pm and the new faces for the mens' line needs final selection that you've been pushing for a month now, it's about to meet the deadline. Also a board meeting follows right after" he says

"Board meeting, wasn't it supposed to be a week ago?" I ask

"It was postponed " he says,

"Okay so I have 3 hours before the company meeting, " let's get some work done before it

I train my fingers to work fast, I need to view all the reports and summaries and it needs to be close to accuracy.

°°°°

After the meeting, I look through the model profile. They look way too soft of the rough bad boy image we are desperately seeking.

I look through the files, Lee Jongsuk is too polite looking for the shoot. Lee Minho has gotten old, we need a fresh face. Kim Woobin fits perfect.

Seo Inguk would look pretty sharp with a bit of touch ups. Jang kiyon has been looking too nice after his military enlistment so he's out of question, Cha Eunwoo is too pure looking, someone fierce might do..

Yuri Park is a good catch, Denis Oh was great in his time but we need fresher faces

Lee Soohyuk, perfect. We need two more, this might be a good chance to debut some new models

I pull out my phone,

"Hello Tae, how are you?"

"What do you want?" He goes straight to the point

Knowing well enough I called for business if it's business hours

"Tae, can you give me some good rookie models." I say

"What are you opting for?". He asks

"The baddie image, rough and tsundere " I say

"Yeah, you're old. I'll send some profiles" he hangs up on me

°°°°

I received an email from Tae of few Rookie models

I know it was no use when Jeon Chang A was on the top of the list, he has the face of an infant. Regardless I looked through the mail, none of them caught my eye.

A waste of time to think Tae would actually come useful someday

I look at Jungkook, he's analyzing the reports for me

I really need to think of something before I reach the deadline,

°°°°

"I'm leaving for the board meeting, Jungkook I'll need with me so wrap up all the work here."

We leave together,

°°°

" If we roll together with french models, wouldn't it be better to buy the french public?" The CTO, Kim Jina says

"Well, it's like offering warm water while it's 50 degrees outside, we always need irony to get through people" I say

" And what would be the irony in your opinion?" My mother asks

"Korean skin, showing how the dark, rough leather contradicts the smoothie Korean skin can play a good bait to lure the European tan" I add

"Do you think they'll accept that kind of publicity? They would know it doesn't come off on their skin the way it comes off on pale skins" My father adds

" Mr. Kim, when they advertise beauty products with the label saying it would make them shades brighter, even the consumers know well it would much rather create a layer of plastere over their skin yet they buy it, what may reason be in your perspective?" I ask

"Good advertisment?" He asks back

" Convincing advertisement when deep down they know it won't work, it makes them judge their own opinions. Well just do that" I say

"Besides, the whole world is trying to replicate Korea right now. Nothing negative can come with paying our own people " I say

"I agree with Taeri, the contrast between skim and leather wi really bring out the attention" Namjoon Oppa says

" She's right, it's better to go with the Korean model since the world is crazy about Korea right now" Hana, the C.M.O agrees with me

°°°°°°
"Jungkook, did you do what I asked?" I ask

"Yes ma'am, I recorded the whole conversation." He says

°°°°
" Bring me an iced Americano please,". I say,

I haven't yawned in hours, my eyelids don't feel heavy but my muscles could snap.

He comes back with the coffee and I strecb my arm to grab it but "ouwww" I mutter when my arm feel pulls

Yep, a vein just snapped on my shoulder. I take my other hands and gulp down the beverage in one go, I don't have much time.

I approve the reports and send them back

*Crack*

I stretch my neck and it cracks like deep-fried rice paper.

"Done!" I exclaim

He stands besides me, he keeps a ring of his finger at my table. Slowly, he takes of all his rings and leaves them all at my table, even his watch

"What are you-"

"Let me take weight of your shoulder," he says, either of his hands go on either of my shoulders

"I am fine," I say

"I know, you'll like it" he says, persistent about it so, knowing I can't stop him, I don't even try.

He has magical fingers, I am sure he knows what ehs doing

His fingers move slowly on my shoulders, subtle pressure but I feel much more awake with each of his movements. His bony fingers glide smoothly against my neck, his large thumb makes me bend my head forward as I feel like he could take me to heaven with only his bare hands.

"How much tension do you want to build up, hm?" He asks

My eyes go wide

"These veins, you've cut the blood flow and you keep storing the tension " he says

"You know a lot " I say

"I know my stuff" he answers

"How exactly is this your stuff?" I ask

"Boxing, karate, Muai Thai, I've done it all. Who'd know it better than me, how to relieve tension better than me?" he chuckles

I smile, his chuckle sounds very deep and very low.

"Mhm" as all the response I muster out under the experienced hands that make me forget my name

My eyes invaulantarily roll back. His touch keeps growing hotter on my skin, even if he's not in front of my eyes, it's as though I can see his inked hand moving on me as if making art with so much determination.

"Ah" I almost gasp when he smoothes that one specific knot on my clavicle and I don't think I've ever felt so good in my entire life

But when that sound left me, I felt a chance in his rhythm. I shouldn't be sounding like that, it sounded just like a moan

So the next he hits another spot on my neck, I bite my lips, he can't see my face and it should work to keep my gasp and uhm- yeah, sounds in

"Noona, you shouldn't bite you lips, they'll bleed" he says,

Deja Vu washes over me, from the day I left Korea and how he stole a kiss from me. His teary face, how sad he looked, he looked like he was heartbroken- it all rushes to me

This can't be happening between us, I can't be playing with him,

"Thanks Jungkook" I stand up straight, taking my wallet and phone

"I am going home, you should too" I say walking quickly out of the room

This happened 😭 😂
