Chapter 4

I turned around and saw a man with dazzling eyes and a grin that can light up a room.

"Let me hold it for you," he offered as he moved the tray away from me.

I thanked him, and he returned my grin. That heart-shaped grin brightened his whole face. It made me happy to see his grin. Was he passing on his happiness to me? Is that why he was named "Sunshine"?

"I truly enjoyed your place," he said as his gaze wandered across the room. I gave him a kind grin. "By the way, let me introduce myself. My name is Jung Hoseok, Jhope or Hobi for short," he said with a grin. 

"I like your smile, and mine is Rose," I said, returning his grin.

"Oh, thank you; let's go meet the others," he said. 

I followed him. When I heard someone shouting, everyone rushed into the living room. That was quick.

They bowed jointly when they saw me, "Annyeonghaseyo, Bangtan Sonyeondan," which reminded me of Manager Sejin and the embarrassment. I'm not sure why, but I ended up bowing slightly and feeling a lot of eyes on me. 

"Wasn't I supposed to bow down?" I asked Hoseok. He burst out laughing.

Namjoon grinned at me and said, "Let us introduce ourselves." Wow, those dimples. 

They began to introduce themselves one by one. I stood there, attentively watching each of them. As my turn arrived, they all stared at me with interest. 

"I'm..." before I could even begin, my phone immediately began to ring.

Why does this happen to me so frequently?

I returned their gaze and smiled as I grabbed my phone. Oh no, it was my boss. I had no idea I was almost thirty minutes late.

"I'm just 10 minutes away. I'll be right there," I said as I refused the call.

"Sorry boys, I have to go now." They all nodded. 

"Oh, no," Jimin whined. 

"Don't worry, I'll be back by six," I said with a grin.

"Please make yourself at home and do not hesitate to contact me if you need anything. My number is on the table, and my name is Rose, by the way," I replied quietly.

Jimin's eyes widened as he said, "Did she just rap?"

"Woah, woah, slow down," I heard Namjoon say.

"I'm sorry for the delay; I'll meet up with you boys later." I was ready to go, my bag in hand when I heard someone shout my name.

Looking back, I saw Taehyung smiling broadly. "Take care," he urged. 

"I will, and don't forget to lock the door," I said as I dashed out of the home.

"Are you serious, Rose?" What's ten minutes away? "I don't believe I'll make it in twenty minutes," I mumbled to myself.

I observed my boss standing there akimbo, glancing at his watch and then at me, saying, "It took you nearly half an hour to get here. I thought I heard you say you were just a ten-minute drive away."

"I'm sorry. I'll make amends by working an extra hour. Would that suffice?" In between pantings, I asked.

"No need, just go do your job for now," he said as he walked away.

"All right, let’s get back to work."
