"Mr Park Jimin is coming to the company today."

The news had been spread all over in the company. I felt kinda nervous thinking of seeing him again today. It hadn't been informed about when he would arrive but atleast he was coming today.

It had been more than a week since that last date and though, we had conversed from phone sometimes, we hadn't gotten a chance to meet. Let's say that I was still not over that confession.

I didn't want to see him but also wanted to see him today. What the hell was wrong with me?

My sister gave me hell the next day after that date. Mr Chen actually complained that neighbour aunt about my sister and she was ranting the whole day about how I had a husband and three kids and how they had miraculously appeared in the middle of my date.

Thank god, I made up an excuse that the date was disastrous and my "friend" helped me to escape.

Otherwise I was so dead.

"I wish we could eat something else. We always eat the same thing.", Erin said irritatedly. We were having lunch in the company cafeteria.

"Not that bad.", I told.

"Well, you get to eat tasty food with charming dates. Not me.", She said.

"You wanna bring it up again?"

"No, No. I have had an earful about it from you already. I won't dare to be a part of such catastrophic plans anymore.", She said giggling.

I rolled my eyes at her. "Because of you, I was humiliated in public. Your plan made me seem like a mother who doesn't care about her children and husband."

"Hey, it wasn't  my plan! It was his plan. But atleast you had a great date with Mr Park -----"

Her voice was audible in the silent cafeteria. So, I immediately shushed her.

"Ssssh, don't talk so loudly."

"Huh, What's there to hide? I am just stating facts. Actually, you should announce it loudly as well so that the half of the female population in this company can stop daydreaming about your man."

"Erin---"

"I am telling the truth. Look at these people. The ladies restroom has been packed since the morning because all of them have been touching up their makeup again and again. They were talking about him like he is a freaking god and they could just die if he glances at them. I couldn't even pee in peace, hmph."

I chuckled at that.

"Really. So please,  if you actually announce it publicly, I might be able to do my business properly without having to hear them fangirl loudly.", Erin told.

"What are you all talking about? Seems interesting.", Nara walked to our table twirling her hair around.

"Nothing.", I shrugged.

Erin made a displeased face. "None of your---"

But I don't know what changed her mind but suddenly, she plastered a wide grin on her face.

"Aww, You want to hear? We were talking about Y/N's date with Park------"

I immediately kicked her leg under the table, with my widened eyes.

"Ouch! What was that for?", She said.

"It's nothing. What are you talking about Erin?", I said nonchalantly.

"A date? Who is that guy? Must be a good for nothing.", Nara told smugly.

"Nara, If I were you, I wouldn't say that. The guy owns a freaking company.", Erin said.

"What's so special about owning a company? Is it successful as the Park Industries? Is that guy as great as Mr Park Jimin?", Nara told.

Erin started laughing uncontrollably while I was this close to getting an anxiety attack.

"Fuck, you are such a clown!", Erin said laughing.

"You--- I am just saying the truth. You had better mind your language!"

"Park Jimin has got nothing on that guy, I promise.", Erin said.

"I would like to meet this guy. It would be great if I could see if you are speaking the truth or just bluffing. I would like to consider it as your mere bluff today."

"You will meet him----"

"Erin, Our lunch is finished! We have got work to do! Let's go! Have a good time, Nara!", Saying this, I quickly pulled Erin out of the cafeteria before she could completely let out the secret.

"Why didn't you let me tell her?! Ugh! I wanted to slap that smirk off her face."

"What's the use in telling her? I don't want anyone to know about this."

"You are no fun.", She grumbled.

"And you are having way too much fun."

Later, I reached to the ground floor to hand over some documents.

While returning back, I saw the people entering the elevator. I made a dash to catch up with the closing elevator.

When I stopped and looked inside the elevator, I was shocked to see Jimin and many other staffs inside. The elevator was already packed.

So, he had already arrived.

Jimin gave a playful smirk when he saw me while I stood outside nervously.

"I-I will take the next one...Go ahead.", I said and the elevator's door closed.

Thank God, the elevator was packed. Fortunately, I have a good luck today.

Immediately, after the elevator doors had been closed, they opened once again and I again saw Jimin inside. I stared at him completely puzzled.

The previous staffs walked out of the elevator whispering with each other, looking somewhat irritated and surprised. Only, Jimin was left inside.

"Get inside.", He said.

What just happened?

He looked absolutely charming in his black suit crossing his arms giving off a strict and stern vibe. The devious smile playing on his lips could push anyone to the brink of insanity.

"I-I will take another one, Mr Park.", I said and tried to run towards the other elevator.

But Jimin swiftly held my hand and pulled me inside the elevator. He pressed the buttons and the doors became closed leaving only me and Jimin inside.

I was too quick to celebrate.

"I went to such lengths to kick them out of the elevator. You can't just abandon me."

"What did you say?! You kicked them out?!", I said in shock.

"Then, how would they leave?", He looked completely chill.

Talk about being low key.

"You---Why did you do that?!"

He had his hands wrapped around my waist. He gave a smile and said, "I missed you so much. Can't I have some alone time with you?"

"Maintain some distance, Mr Park.", I said.

He stepped closer to me while I withdrew my steps. My back hit the wall of the elevator and I looked up only to find him smirking at me.

"I am thinking of going to the top most floor today. What do you think?"

Trying to stall some time, I see.

"Let go of me. What will your fans think if they find that Mr Park Jimin kicked out people today from the elevator just to let his secretary inside?"

"My fans?", He questioned.

"Yeah, don't you think I will get some pretty beautiful glares from your admirers in this company? They admire you so much. They are going to kill me.", I said sarcastically.

"Then, I will protect you.", He told.

"I don't think that you will be able to protect me from half of the female population in this company no matter how much capable you are. Your fans are pretty scary. I used to deal with them before as well. "

"But I am your fan... your no. 1 fan forever.", He whispered with a soft smile gracing his lips.

"What do you eat everyday except sugar and cheese?", I muttered, blushing profusely.

"Find it out yourself.", He said and before I could react, he had already planted his soft lips on mine.

I was shocked at first but closing my eyes, I pulled him closer to relish the feel of his lips.

Warm and fuzzy.

That's how I felt with butterflies fluttering in my stomach and fireworks erupting all around us. After a while, I finally let him go gasping for breath but he only pulled away after softly biting my lips.

I quickly walked towards the corner smoothing the hem of my skirt and fanning my hot face. I didn't dare to speak as I touched my swollen lips. From the corner of my eyes, I could see Jimin staring at me with a smirk playing on his lips.

The elevator doors opened and I was the first one to rush out. Never turning back, I hurried to my desk while Jimin went towards the direction of the C.E.O's office.

*****

A conference was organized today. After the staffs were called, Erin and I headed towards the conference hall together.

We had already arrived at the entrance. From there, we could see Jimin seated at one chair conversing with the C.E.O.

"Look, your bae is there.", Erin whispered in my ear teasing me.

"Erin, don't you dare spill anything out.", I gave her a warning look.

"Yeah, yeah.", she said.

As soon as we had entered, we heard the footsteps of the ladies rushing towards the hall hurriedly.

"Look at what superhuman speed they are coming at, god. They want to sit closest to him.", Erin said shaking her head.

"Why do they want to sit close to him so much? It's not fun at all. I can guarantee.", I said.

Erin raised her eyebrow at me. "You are not jealous, are you?"

"You need to stop assuming that I will get jealous. I won't. As a proof, I will take the farthest seat from him."

Saying this, I walked towards the far end of the long table. I could feel Jimin's gaze on me when I passed him. Before I could sit down, I heard his voice.

"Miss Kim, shouldn't you be staying here?", Jimin said tapping the chair next to him.

"Mr Jimin, the seats are all taken. Can I sit here?", Before I could answer, Nara intervened.

I can't sit close to him. He will make me distracted. And absolutely not after that kiss.

"Yes, Mr Park, please do not mind me. Miss Nara can have that seat.", I said.

Nara seemed surprised while I sat down quietly. Jimin couldn't speak anything more and Nara sat down by his side.

As the meeting continued, I could see Nara asking questions after questions to Jimin. Though, he answered them politely but I could see that he was getting annoyed . I hid my smile watching him in this situation.

After the meeting finished, everyone started heading back to their own departments. I was about to go back when a voice called me.

"Miss Kim.", I turned around and saw a staff calling me.

"Mr Kang, what's the matter?", I said politely.

"Uhh...I..Can I have your help on a topic? I didn't understand the marketing statistics that had been presented.", He said looking nervous.

"Sure, Why not?", I told and he looked up at me smiling widely.

I heard a cough and my eyes met Jimin's. He didn't look too happy and I could see him glaring at Mr Kang.

He is jealous? Oh well.

"Mr Kang, where can we sit?", I asked him returning the smile.

"We can just sit right there. It won't take much time.", He said. I sat down at one chair while he sat next to mine.

It seemed like Jimin wasn't in a mood to leave the hall. He made up an excuse to review everything once again. Since he didn't leave, some of the ladies also stayed back telling that they would also review the topics once again. Nara was one among them.

How diligent.

Mr Kang and I indulged into the matter quickly. After describing the contents and mailing the document to him, I thought that it was time to leave.

"Mr Kang, I will take my leave now.", I told.

"Miss Kim, Thank you for helping me. I want to pay back the favour you did to me.", He said.

"No problem, it's natural to help  colleagues."

"But I insist. Are you free tomorrow evening?", He asked.

Uh-oh. Seems like he had this goal in mind.

"No need. I won't hold you up for such a simple matter.", I said.

"Miss Kim, it would be good to get to know eachother. If you are not free tomorrow, then what about Saturday?", He said.

We were seated just four chairs far from Jimin and from my observation, I think that he had heard everything.

There were around 10 staffs in the hall right now since most of them had already left. The others  had also probably caught up on what the matter was. They surely knew what he was asking me about as they stared at me anticipating my answer.

"Then, you have to ask me.", A booming voice thundered in the hall.

Crap, this isn't good.

"Mr Park---What do you mean?", Mr Kang looked at the direction of the voice and saw Jimin staring at us with an unpleasant expression.

Now all the attention had been drawn to us.

"You have to ask for my permission. I meant.", He emphasized.

"Uhh...Why should I ask for your permission to ask Miss Kim out to get to know her?"

Does this seem like a company? No, this seems like some high school drama right now. Stupid morons. I internally facepalmed.

Everyone was looking at us confusedly.

Jimin gave a sardonic smile and told.

"It's obvious that you have to ask for my permission if you want to get to know my girlfriend."

Boom, the bomb dropped.

"Girlfriend?!", I heard everyone shriek.

Everyone looked at Jimin and me with a horrified expression. I just wanted to dig a ten feet deep hole and never come out once again.

"M-Mr Park, did we hear correct? You mean she is your girlfriend?", Nara asked pointing towards me.

"That's right.", He said looking relaxed.

I gulped hard seeing the ugly glares of the women directed towards me.

"I had read in the tabloids that Park Jimin had confessed that he loved someone some months ago. That must be her."

"Did Mr Jimin sign a deal with our company just for her?"

"He must have. I was so shocked that day when I found out that Park Jimin was signing a deal with our company. Our company isn't exactly reputed."

"It must be that. Can't you see how he looks at her? I had already suspected it when he came to meet her when he had arrived in the company for the first time."

"How romantic. I need a man like him."

All kinds of whispers started coming from everyone.

As if to add more fuel to the fire, he walked towards my side. Then, he pulled me closer to him putting his hand around my waist.

"So, Mr Kang, do you still want to get to know her?", He said.

"N-No Mr Park. I just wanted to pay back the favour Miss Kim did to me. Nothing more. It's just a simple matter. So, I will take my leave then."

"Please go ahead.", Jimin said.

After Mr Kang had left, I stared at him sternly while he avoided meeting my gaze.

"Miss Nara.", Jimin called Nara who still looked astonished along with others.

"Yes...Mr Jimin?", She asked putting on an unpleasant smile.

"Please grant leave for Y/N today. I need to take her somewhere.", He said.

"Uhh......Sure.....", She replied. Before anyone could speak anything more, Jimin held my hand and led me out of the room leaving the apalled faces and their hushed whispers.
