"Park Jimin sir?... Sir?... Mr. Park!"

Jimin raised his head at the last exclamation of his name. His assistant Park Sandara was looking at him with her big eyes, her brow furrowed and her hands on his desk. She seemed annoyed. Jimin gulped.

"S-sorry. What were you saying?" Jimin asked warily.

"I asked you if you had already finished this month's sales." Her tone sern.

"I-I... I'm working on them..." Jimin answered and lowered his gaze to his computer again to avoid her judgmental eyes.

He should have finished the sales by now, but his mind was somewhere else. Who could blame him, though? He was hours away from having dinner with Jungkook! Like literal freaking dinner with his crush!! Wait what?! Did I just think "crush"? Oh god Jimin, what has he done to you? He spoke in his head, having already given up on focusing on work today. Sandara-noona would have to forgive him but his brain couldn't do two things at a time like hers could. If she said something about it, he would actually show her that article he read about girls being able to manage multitasking whereas boys couldn't.

Something about the night before had achieved to get Jimin's hopes up. Although he couldn't quite say what exactly had happened that made him feel like he had at least a slight chance with Jungkook. Had it been the fact that the latter had wanted to walk him home? Or the fact that he had insisted when Jimin turned down his offer at first? Or was it maybe the fact that Jungkook had accepted every idea Jimin had suggested? He wasn't sure, all he knew was that both of them seemed to have moved past their awkwardness and were now able to talk to each other without stuttering or lowering their gazes.

For some reason Jimin's thoughts wandered towards that day in that same office, that day that everything had changed, that day which was the last day Jungkook worked as his assistant. He could still remember the way Jungkook had looked at him, and not only at his eyes, but at his lips too. The way they had both held the stares, those stares that seemed to last ages. He still remembered how Jungkook had leant, letting him smell his breath, his sweet minty breath that Jimin had been wanting to smell again since that day at the club... Aish! Jimin scolded himself for letting his mind wander to such undreamable places. He had so many memories with the 23 year old, yet there were still so many unspoken things between them.

"Um..." Jimin suddenly spoke, knowing that he wouldn't be able to concentrate if he didn't shake his scenery up a bit.

"Yes?" Sandara raised her eyes from her work. She was sitting right across from Jimin.

"I just remembered Yoongi-hyung asked me to go by his office today." He said making up a lie at the moment.

"Oh? What for?" She frowned doubtfully.

Would you accept me? (Jikook)Where stories live. Discover now
