"Mr. Park---"

Before I could get over the shock, his head fell on my shoulders. What was he doing here?

The strong odor of alcohol filled my nostrils and I felt an urge to puke. He was drunk.

"Mr. Park"

I tried to move him but he wouldn't budge. I slowly moved back holding him. Then, I closed the door.

I was going to get him to the couch but suddenly my feet hit a can and I prepared myself for the fall but immediately I felt a hand snake around my waist and pinned me towards the wall. That fucking can of juice----

I blinked my eyes and saw him in front of me with his eyes open. Did he wake up?

"Mr. Park"

I whispered but he didn't respond. He was staring into my eyes as if he was unfolding each and every story beneath them.

"Mr. Pa---"

Then, he blocked any escape from both his hands towards both sides.

"Mr----"

"Sssssshhhh"

He whispered in my ear bringing shivers down my spine. And I was left speechless.

He was too close to me. The tips of our noses were almost touching and I could feel his hot breath on my face. After a while, he broke the silence.

"You have beautiful eyes.", He whispered.

"Huh?", I was confused for a second. "What?"

"Your eyes are beautiful.", He repeated.

He suddenly kissed my eyes gently taking me by surprise and I let out a loud yelp. "What-What are you doing?"

My heart was beating so hard in my chest.

"Your nose is beautiful.", He said once again.

"Uhh? Alright, I guess...", I mumbled in disbelief.

Then, before I could react, he planted a soft kiss on my nose. "What are you doing?!", I was so shocked right now.

He paused for a moment and just stared at my face with those deep eyes.

I couldn't push him back. I couldn't help myself from taking in the beauty of this gorgeous man in front of me. He was truly mesmerizing.

Then, his eyes which were fixed on my own slowly moved towards my lips and I gulped.

"Your lips are beautiful.", He said staring.

"Mr. Park, you need to---"

I stared at his lips. I couldn't tear my eyes away from it. Those plump lips....dammit. I am not the one who is drunk, what the fuck is happening.


"You want it, Y/N....", He said in his husky voice.

"No Mr. Park-------", My voice trailed off midway. I didn't know why but my heart was beating so hard that I thought it would leap out of my chest. He rarely called me Y/N. It was always Miss Kim.

He brought his face closer to mine. I closed my eyes shut and waited for what was going to happen next.

I waited...too scared to react, too afraid. Holding in my breath and closing my eyes shut, it felt like an eternity had passed.

After nothing happened, my eyes slowly fluttered open. I saw that his head had fallen on my shoulders at one side. I heaved a sigh of relief or disappointment. I didn't know.

"He was about to kiss----", I muttered and stopped. My cheeks heated up.

"Kim Y/N, you are getting nowhere with this.", I mentally slapped myself.

"He needs to sleep." I thought and pulled his body to the nearby couch. I laid him on the couch and brought the extra blanket from the closet. Then, I covered him with it.

I sat on my knees and glanced at the man who was my boss.

"Thank god, you didn't kiss me because if you had, then my first kiss would have been a mistake."

And I can't afford any mistakes. At least not with Jimin.

I didn't realize when I had fallen asleep watching him as I rested my head at the side of the couch and dozed off.

Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring

I was woken up by the sound of my doorbell ringing. I looked at the watch. It was just 5 am. But who would be so crazy to come so early?

My fucking sister

I jolted up and looked at Jimin who was still sleeping on the couch and looked at the door which was continuously ringing.

Oh fuck

How was I going to explain to my sister why he was here?

Oh no Oh no Oh no Oh no

My sister lived in her apartment which was about 45 minutes far from here. Sometimes, she would come here early in the morning after jogging.

I bit my nails nervously. Then, I saw Mr. Park open his eyes. He got up from the couch and his eyes widened seeing me. As he observed his surrounding, he found that apparently, he was not in his mansion.

"Miss Kim, why am I here----"

"Mr. Park, I will explain everything to you later but first you need to get inside the closet."

"Huh? Closet?", He questioned.

But I had no time to give his answer. I quickly made him get up and pushed him inside the closet. Then, I heaved a sigh. I immediately hurried towards the door and opened it.

"Why didn't you open the door?", My sister whined.

"I was asleep. What's the matter?", I asked.

"I came with breakfast.", She said showing me the plastic bags, and walked inside the room before I could protest.

"Sis, isn't it too early to have breakfast?", I asked.

She shot me a thinking look. "What time is it?"

"5 Am.", I said.

"So, it's the perfect time to have breakfast.", She said setting the bags and her phone on the table.

I internally facepalmed. "I haven't even freshened up. Let's have it later."

"The food will turn cold. Come on, sit down. ", She said.

"I think you should go for a short walk around the park. I will freshen up and then we can have breakfast together. How about that?"

"I just now came from a jog.", She said.

"But the park has a wonderful view early in the morning. You can go and see.", I told.

"You have a point. I will go and have a walk around the park then. I will be back after 20 minutes.", She said and put on her shoes. Then, she left and closed the door. I sighed in relief.

I quickly hurried towards the closet and opened it. A grumpy Jimin emerged out from it.

"Why am I here?", He asked.

"You came here last night drunk. I guess you lost your way. Mr. Park, you need to hurry up. My sister will arrive soon and she might not like you being here right now.", I explained.

"Thank you for letting me in. I will take my leave.", He told and gave a small smile.

He suddenly brought his hands to his head and an uncomfortable expression settled on his face. He looked in pain. Hangover.

I quickly touched his forehead on instinct and worriedly asked, "Does it hurt?"

"I have a headache.", He said. I couldn't bear to look at him in so much pain.

"I will make some lemon tea.", I told.

Before I could get to the kitchen, the front door opened and I froze in my tracks.

"Y/N, I forgot to take my mobile. I had to make a call---", My sister's voice came and she stopped.

I turned back and my eyes met my sister's who had a shocked expression on her face. What a great start to the day.

"What is he doing here?", She asked and I prepared myself for the explanation.

*****

Jimin quietly sipped the lemon tea while my sister was staring at him with an indifferent look.

"So you mean, he was drunk and he came here mistakenly.", She said.

"Yes.", I nodded.

"Mr. Park, you could have gone to one of your girlfriends instead of coming to my sister's apartment. Shouldn't you let her rest well at least at night?", My sister said with sarcasm laced in her voice.

I was about to stop her from speaking anything more when Jimin's quiet reply came. "I apologize to Miss Kim and her sister. Yesterday wasn't a good day."

"Mr. Park, you don't need to apologize. I understand the situation. Sis, please don't be too hard on him. He didn't do it intentionally. ", I said and my sister just rolled her eyes at that.

"Mr. Park, Do you feel fine now?", I asked him.

"Better than before.", He replied.

"You should take a day off if you don't feel well. I have already called Mr. Kang. He will be here to pick you up. Please go home and have some rest."

He nodded. My sister set the food on the table and though, she was rude to Jimin earlier, she set a plate for him as well. Whatever my sister says, she has a soft heart.

"We have pancakes, I see.", I told.

My sister took the food out and placed it properly on the plates. She was about to pour the mango syrup on Jimin's plate when I stopped her.

"Mr. Park doesn't like mango syrup. So, don't pour for him.", I told.

"What will he eat it with then?", She asked quizzically.

"I think I have some cinnamon honey syrup in the fridge. I will bring that for him.", I said and got to the kitchen.

Soon, I brought the syrup and poured it on the pancakes. "Mr. Park, please have some food. You will feel better."

Jimin used the fork and knife and slowly had a bite. "How is it?", I asked him.

"It's good.", He said, earning a bright smile from me.

"Then, please have some more.", I said and started having my food as well.

Though the start wasn't so good, my sister actually managed to tolerate him and had small talks with him throughout the breakfast. After breakfast, Mr. Kang arrived to pick up Jimin. He bade goodbye to us and left.

I sighed after he left and rushed to the kitchen to clean up. I felt footsteps approaching behind me and my sister was there.

"What's up sis?", I asked her.

"Y/N, I have a question."

"What question?", I said while scrubbing the dishes.

"Do you perhaps like Jimin?", She asked hesitantly.

I froze for a moment. But casually replied.

"Yes, I do like him. He is my boss after all."

"No, I mean in that way?", She asked.

I put the dishes down. "My relationship with Mr. Park is strictly professional. I am his secretary and he is my boss. There can be nothing more than that."

"Then, why do you care for him so much? You weren't even paying attention to the food. Your eyes were focused on his each and every movement, assuring if he was feeling comfortable or not, liking the food or not, feeling better or not. Y/N, what is this? Explain it to me."

"There's nothing to explain. I have worked for him for 6 years. It's a long time. So, it's likely that I will genuinely care for him. Don't overthink things."

"Then, why haven't you been in any relationships? Haven't you ever developed any feelings for any other person?"

"I am always focused on work 24/7. So, I haven't got any time to think about that stuff. Sis, I know you worry a lot but please don't. I am going to leave soon. I have less than a month. After that, I am going to start a new life, search for love and reflect on everything."

"Take care of yourself, alright? I am always here for you."

"I know."

*****

I arrived in the office. Setting down my bag on the table, I glanced towards the office room of Mr. Park. He wasn't there. I guess he thought of taking a day off.

Soya would have arrived by now and I had thought of teaching her some more things today, but she was still not here. Why is she late?

I called the reception thinking that she might have informed the reception that she wasn't coming today. "Hello, It's Miss Kim. Isn't Lee Soya arriving today?"

"Miss Kim, Miss Lee left some 20 minutes ago to Mr. Park's mansion. He had called her."

"Oh alright. Thank you.", I said and hung up.

If Jimin had any problems, he would always call me. But......

Yeah, it's better now. I am glad that Mr. Park is finally understanding and accepting the situation.

But still, I can't shake off this uneasy feeling.

Am I not ready to be replaced yet?

Like what my sister said, do I care for him a bit too much than a secretary should?

But why?
