He's My Juliet (Golden Child Jibeom X Reader) [COMPLETED]

Ch. 4: Caught

What the-

I look at the image that Jisu had sent me along with her message. It's a screenshot of an online article. And the headline reads "Kim Jibeom, Heir to Heaven's Cloth Fabrics, spotted with woman suspected to be a worker under SilverLining Fabrics". Above the headline is a photo of Jibeom hugging me, an incident that had happened just a while ago after we had confessed to each other.

I should be panicking. I definitely should be panicking. But, instead, I find myself covering my mouth as a wide smile forms on my face and I start to feel butterflies in my stomach.

Gah! Why am I reacting like this?! Y/N, stop smiling! You should be worrying about this! If Mom finds out-

Suddenly, as if on cue, Mom's secretary peeks her head inside my room and I quickly wipe the smile off my face as I put my phone face down on my table and look back at Mom's secretary seriously.

"Ms. Choi?"

"Yes, what is it?"

"Mrs. Choi is asking for you."

"I'll be right there," I tell the secretary before standing up and keeping my phone in my pocket.

Soon enough, I'm standing infront of Mom's office. For some reason, I'm actually just starting to feel nervous now when I should have been feeling this way since a while ago.

Apparently, while I'm not really known to the public because Mom doesn't want me to be known and I also try to keep myself low-profile, Jibeom, on the other hand, is actually very well-known, almost to the point where he's basically a celebrity. I mean, how can he not be known? He's handsome and sweet and, most importantly, the heir to a huge fabrics company. Of course, he'd be famous! But I didn't really think of the possibilities of someone actually watching him and checking if he's with someone or not.

"Uhmm... Mom?" I call out through the door as I knock on it.

"Come in," I hear her speak from the other side. She sounds suspiciously calm.

I breathe in deeply before opening the door and stepping inside. Mom's at her desk, just as usual, but instead of seeing her working on papers the moment I come in, instead, I see her looking at me sternly as I enter with her hands clasped together on her desk. "Uh... Is there something wrong?" I ask her, pretending not to know anything at all.

"Y/N, please. I know you know why I called you here," Mom tells me, her voice softening as she looks at me with her brows furrowed.

I bite my lip as I stand straight infront of her. Meanwhile, her secretary closes the door to her office behind me. I feel tense as I hold my hands together while looking at Mom. "Is it about... the article online?" I ask her hesitantly, even though I'm pretty sure that's the exact reason why she called me here.

"Since when did you start seeing Kim Jibeom of Heaven's Cloth Fabrics?" she asks me straight out, her stern look returning.

I laugh nervously as I look away from her. "How did you know?"

"Y/N!" she suddenly shouts and I jump and look back at her while standing with my back straight. "I know it was you on that article. Please stop trying to hide it."

I cringe as I look sideways from her again.

"When did the two of you meet?" she asks me this time, and I start debating whether I should tell her or not.

She'll find out if I tell her I met him last night. Aish! How am I supposed to say this?

"Uh... when did we meet? Well, that's actually..." I groan as I drop my head then give up. "I met him last night."
