Jimin checked his reflection in the mirror, he didn't want to look untidy, his uniform fitted perfectly, his hair styled. Hoping he matched up to the apparent high demands of his boss, he picked his house keys and jacket up and left to walk the twenty minutes it took to get to The Jeon Majestic, the modern hotel that was expensive but worth it , always catering to the customers needs and written about in many magazines along with its owner Jeon Jungkook.
With ten minutes to spare before he met the man who vetted all the staff , Jimin stood in the corner of the large foyer,already having given his name to the desk clerk to show that he was in.
He watched the coming and goings of guests and saw the politeness of staff when spoken to.he hoped that this time he could stay in the job and there would be the interference that had followed him around from his father.
There was a noise at the main entrance as the owner Jeon Jungkook came in with a small entourage , his gaze flicking quickly around the area,checking everything was in place, his eyes came to rest on Jimin who held the males gaze as his eyes seemed to bore into Jimins. Mr Jeon could see he was wearing the hotel uniform and raised a brow at the male who held his gaze before walking on towards the lift and entering his gaze catching Jimins again before the doors closed.
"Park Jimin?" Came a voice, bringing Jimin out of his reverie.
He turned to see the male who had previously interviewed him and bowed.
" Mr Kim," he acknowledged him.
"Hello again, may I call you Jimin?"
The small boy nodded.
"We'll come along, I will show you the booking in process and tell you the things you need to know"
"Thank you, I will work hard."
Meantime Jimin became aware of staff whispering behind the reception desk , pointing him.
"Have I got something on my face,?" He questioned Mr Kim, who looking at the staff then Jimin laughed, "no Jimin,I think they like you and please call me Tae except when Mr Jeon is around, we are quite friendly here."
He walked Jimin to the reception desk staff who smiled and giggled on introduction,then he showed him the booking in system which Jimin gladly saw was a system he had used before.
"Sometimes Mr Jeon uses certain staff when he hosts meetings here in the conference I hope your ok with that?"
"Of course, I'm pleased to work wherever you want."
Jimin soon got into the swing of things, helping guests and familiarising himself via floor plans of the layout of the hotel.Jungkook swung in his chair in his office, thoughts on the male he had seen downstairs, he had never seen such a cute looking guy. A knock came and his friend Tae came in." Hi Kook."
"Hi whose that new member of staff?"
"Oh you mean Jimin? he will be working in reception," he smirked," cute isn't he?"
"I've seen him somewhere, but I can't think where?"
"Well he does have good cv,maybe you've seen him working somewhere else,another hotel ?and he's been in office work,but I do think he's keeping something to himself."
"Hmm ,maybe."
He turned to his desk watching cameras around the hotel,although security had them he liked to see what was going on.
He saw the reception desk and watched the smiling male greet guests,where had he seen him?
He saw the boy look up at someone and his face transformed, he was looking around then gestured to one of the other staff who nodded before he left his post, presumably for a toilet break, but what had made him look so....disappointed?"Jimin ran into the toilets ,no he thought, not on his first day!! He took out his phone and saw a message from his brother Yoongi:
DAD ON WAY DOESNT KNOW YOU WORK THERE....YET!!
TRY AND HIDEOUT HE HAS MEETING WITH MR JEON, DONT LET HIM SEE YOU!LOVE YA BROJimin smiled, even though his father had disowned him and told family members not to mix with him Yoongi didn't let him down. Yoongi detested what their father had done and had wanted to leave also but Jimin had convinced him not to ruin his life as well and to be his ears so he knew what their father would concoct against him next, he wasn't happy just seeing Jimin off from various jobs by causing awkwardness for the employer, Jimin honestly thought his father wished he was dead, he couldn't stand the thought of having an openly gay son ruining the family line convinced Jimin would get over 'the phase' and marry into the family his father wanted to do business with.
Jimin had of course declined, his father fought with him to the extent of badly beating him and when he saw Jimin meant it he had disowned him, throwing him out in the clothes he stood up in and cancelling all funding. His car , clothes and all he was used to now a thing of the past, luckily for Jimin his late mother had left a small family apartment given to her by her mother just to Jimin and he had stored some clothes and bits there, his father of course fuming that he wasn't destitute.
Jimin had taken any job to get by, worked in a convenience store,hotels,offices, cafes, he had never been too proud,so now he had his apartment that his father couldn't touch and got by on the jobs he would take before his father turned up to ruin it.
He saw he had been in the toilet for a while so he slipped out going back to the desk but keeping his eyes open so he could dodge his father.
The lift pinged and a group of people came out, his father ,a tall man and a handsome dark haired doe eyed man which Jimin knew was Mr Jeon whom he had seen this morning.
Jungkook was walking Mr Park out, his eyes as usual skimming around, he saw the small male look up then suddenly disappear along the corridor in a hurry,he frowned he knew something was up but couldn't put his finger on it.
"Well , I'll say my goodbyes Mr Park I have another meeting."
"Yes,yes of course so we will meet again next week and I will have more details for you,I can see your busy, your family must be so proud to have a son like you."
"Thank you, goodbye for now."
He let the other man leave, turning to the tall man beside him he spoke," I'm not sure Namjoon, he seems too desperate for me to invest, look into it will you?"
"Sure Kook," said his personal secretary and friend.
Jungkook turned around to see Jimin slip back, he walked over to the desk," Jimin is it?Is there a reason you keep sneaking off?"
Jimin blushed at being caught," No sir I'm sorry,"
"We work hard here I expect that from my staff, don't disappoint on your first day."
"I apologise sir and will work harder."
Jungkook nodded, going to his office on the ground floor, something niggling at him making him irritated.
"Namjoon find out what you can on the new man Jimin, family etc, work history."
"Will do Kook, but wouldn't Tae have all the info?"
"Hmmmm, I will read Tae's file,ok leave it for now, let's go to our meeting, he went to another office where managers from all departments of the hotel got together to discuss any issues, like food menus, laundry,staff, maintenance, Jungkook liked to keep on top of everything and this was the way he did it, walking into the room he greeted everyone then got on with the business at hand.
