Meet Me In My Office | KSJ X Reader ✔️

Ch. 25- Come In!

Seeing Jin at the coffee shop while I was with Vernon was the last thing I expected. And, when I made eye contact with him, he looked surprised to see me. Jin appeared a bit put out when seeing me with Vernon.

I met up with Vernon because I haven't felt right continuing the tryst I have going on with him, especially when my feelings are coming back for Jin. And it's not just my feelings for Jin, but also for Jeongguk.

Jeongguk actually means something to me. Even though he and I aren't in a serious, committed relationship, he's been in my life for so long and he has always been there, through thick and thin. Then, now, with Jin in the mix, I'm just incredibly conflicted when it comes to my feelings.

As much as Vernon is someone I enjoy my time with, I have less of a connection with him than I do with Jeongguk and Jin. And, having three men in my life, let alone two, is not help with my subconscious.

It's already problematic enough that I care deeply for both Jungkook and Jin. I know that eventually my relationship won't end well with one of them.

A couple nights prior to me meeting up with Vernon at the coffee shop, he and I were at his place and he had mentioned how he was planning a trip up to Santa Cruz to visit his parents soon and asked me if I'd want to come along with him.

That's when I realized that Vernon is starting to find what we have as something serious and I'm just not ready for that. Of course, when he initially brought up meeting his parents, I smiled and just made him think that I'd be up for it.

When I asked to meet up for coffee on Saturday, I ended up being up front with Vernon and told him that in my mind, meeting his parents is a huge step for me. I told him that what I wanted was to not have anything serious. And, from that, Vernon confessed he was hoping for more but he told me that if I wasn't ready to commit that he would understand completely.

Now, here I am on a Monday afternoon. I'm beyond agitated by the fact that I feel like Jin has been avoiding me. Even this morning, I waved at him when I spotted him heading to his office. Instead of waving back, the man just seemed to force a smile towards me and he quickly disappeared into his office.

But, now, I'm standing in front of his office door debating if I should knock. About a half a minute passes and I let my knuckles hit the door three times.

I hear faint male voices and soon the door opens, revealing Jin.

"Oh, Miss Y/L/N. How can I help you?" Jin sounds professional.

"Oh, I, um...I wanted to see if you still needed assistance on your research since you said you needed my opinion on something," I say to him. That's not the reason why, but I noticed a student was sitting at his desk so I had to keep it professional and made up the first excuse that I hatched up in my head.

"Oh, yes, I am actually almost done here- going over some upcoming test material with a student, but I should be free in a few minutes," Jin informs me.

"Okay, sounds good. Why don't you meet me in my office when you're free?" I suggest.

"I'll be right over," he answers me, cocking a brow at me. I know he's not sure why he's coming over to my office because he clearly doesn't need help with his research work.
