Jungkook - 11

It's been about a couple hours since work ended but me and Chaeryeong are still in her office going on contracts and such.

I checked her emails for her and read a couple contracts for her making sure they weren't as she put it "bullshit".

I hear her sigh and look over as she put writes on the last paper and put it in the pile with the rest. "Well that was easy." She sarcastically says.

"Just be glad it's over." I scold and she nods. "Thanks, I would've never gotten through all that if it wasn't for you."

I shrug dismissively, "Anytime, but if I'm being honest, I'll never volunteer to help with that ever again." She laughs and I do too.

That was a lot of work, I don't see how that Mina girl could handle all that. I mean I know her and Chaeryeong work on it together but Jesus that was a mental workout. I'm sure my brain has a six pack by now.

This is why you pay attention in school kids.

We pack up getting ready to leave for home.

"Im gonna head out and see if I can get a cab, you good here?" I ask her swinging my bag over my shoulder.

"Yeah I'm just gonna double check a few things then I'll lock up. You sure you just don't want a ride home?"

I shake my head. "I'm fine. I'll see you tomorrow." I call out to her over my shoulder.

"See you, I love you."

"I love you too."

I catch Jimin in the lobby and approach him curiously.

"Jimin?"

"Y/n hey, you guys all done?"

I nod, "Why are you still here, work ended like a couple hours ago?" I question. "You want the truth?" He asked and I see his cheeks turn red a bit. "Duh, I wouldn't want you to lie to me."

"I was waiting on you..."

I surely wasn't expecting that truth...

"That's nice of you, can I ask why though?"  "To give you a ride home, if that's ok with you."

I shake my head, "Jimin I'm fine with taking a cab, plus our houses are opposite ways of eachother I don't wanna be a burden-"

"Of course not, I don't mind taking you home, please just let me do something nice for you."

I huff, "Ok but, don't tell Chaeryeong where I stay, it's—it's kind of embarrassing."

"I don't judge. Let's go."

We drive in silence for a bit until Jimin speaks up.

"How was your first day?"

"It was nice, everyone's pretty friendly. I was glad to be some help to Chaeryeong with her assistant being on a Hiatus and all." I shrug. "Yeah, Mina was supposedly dealing with family problems but she's been gone a little too long."

"Do you guys have a clue what the family matter might be? I mean it depends on how long someone can leave a job for. Usually it'll only be a week or two."

"Yeah but Chaeryeongs so nice she told her to take as much time as she needed. I guess she really took advantage of that cause she's been going nearly a month." "A month?! Wow. I hope she's doing ok. Anyone get in touch with her or...?"

He shakes his head and shrugs.  I decide to drop the conversation since he seems as clueless about the girl as I was.

"Make a left up here." I instruct him.

"Y/n, I wanted to ask you if we could, ya know maybe hang out again?"

I blush at his offer, "Yeah, sure I mean I'm not really busy. Well you'd know if I was busy hence us working at the same place and everything."

I truly like Jimin. Although at first he gave off major player vibes he does seem like a nice and decent guy for the most part. I wouldn't mind getting to know him more.

"Great I'll check my calendar and we can set up a date then."

"It's right over here." I point at the residence that sits at the end of the street. "This is it?"

"Yeah, I know it's not much but it'll do for now. It's truly not that bad though."

I get out the car and he does the same. We walk around and meet at the front of the car. "You want me to walk you up?" He asked and I shake my head. "No it's fine. Thanks for the lift."

"Anytime."

We stand there in awkward silence for a bit just looking around.

"I should probably head up now, it's getting late." I speak up not knowing what else to say. Jimin agrees but we still stand there.

"Um, thanks again, Jimin. Have a safe trip back home." I say and go in for handshake but he opens his arms for a hug and we both laugh at the awkward situation.

"Sorry." I say changing to a hug and he pulls me in.

The feeling of being in his arms ignites a tingling sensation in the pit of my stomach. Something about him, his aura that just makes me feel...safe.

"I'll see you tomorrow." He says softly into my ear and I squeeze my eyes shut still not wanting the hug to end. He eventually pulls away and I blush before saying another thank you and goodbye and heading up to the residence.

"Ms. America you're home." Mrs. Kim says from behind the glass office.

"Yeah, I had work today." I smile at her getting ready to walk to my room. Working has me kind of exhausted.

"Was that your boyfriend out there?" Her question caught me off guard and I halt in my steps.

"How did you see that?" She shrugs, "I was on the roof top and I just so happen to see you. I wasn't stalking." She laughs her normal obnoxious laugh.

I nod although I feel slightly uneasy. Mrs. Kim hardly ever visit the roof. I kind of feel that she's lying. But at the same time how else would she have saw me and Jimin outside.

"Oh, um, no he's not my boyfriend actually." I clarify. "What about the hug that you two shared. It seemed more than friendly."

Ok, what the fuck is her problem. Why can't she just take my answer and leave it.

"Excuse me?"

"Ms. America are you sure photography is your only work here in Seoul?"

"Y-yeah why?" What the hell does she know. I don't even know why I'm wasting my time explaining myself to her.

Just as I was about to drop the conversation what she said next caught me completely off guard.

"Are you a prostitute?"

"What the hell is wrong with you."

"You claim that man was your friend yet you seemed closer than friends so it just leaves me to believe that you're a prostitute." She shrugs as if it's nothing.

"Mrs. Kim don't you know that's a rude thing to assume of someone." The thug guys says walking inside. Mrs. Kim rolls her eyes at him her normal smile replaces with a very irritated look.

"Oh, Jungkook I'm pretty sure you've done worse things than me."

Now it's Jungkooks turn to roll his eyes. "She pays to stay here not to be insulted by a old hag who sits at a desk all day doing absolute shit. Try cleaning up or something this place is a mess and get the damn AC fixed it's hot as hell in here!"

Damn, go off I guess...

Mrs. Kim says nothing in response but glares at his retreating figure.

I refrain from laughing and quickly head to my room as well. Once I'm inside I let out all my laughter I was holding in.
