STAR-CROSSED LOVERS

Chapter IX

"What's the urgency to make me come to the office now?" Eunae sighed as she entered the room filled with four men, holding her cup of unfinished coffee.

"Eunae-yah! I would like you to meet Jungkook, son of Mr. Jeon." Jimin smiled eyeing at an unfamiliar young boy standing bedside him.

"Mr.Jeon?" Eunae furrowed her eyebrows in a doubt, finishing her not-so hot coffee. "Isn't he the Chairman of the Tia groups which is a competitor of us?" Eunae posed the question in her mind and wanted to make sure if her memory served her right as she made her way to the trash can.

"Bingo!" Suga replied with a shooting action with his index finger while Eunae disposed her empty coffee cup. "So what is his son doing here?" Eunae folded her hands cocking her head to the left.

"Ah he wants to learn how to do businesses, so he can lead Tia groups better, later in the future." Taehyung replied standing up from his swirl chair and joined Jimin and Jungkook in standing.

"Oh? But what do you wanna learn in Oracle? Our secrets? So you can trample on us easily?" Eunae poked her tongue inside her left cheek, eyeing Jungkook from head to toe, her vibe intimidating the young boy.

"Yah! Tia groups might be our competitor, but our dads are not enemies. And we both are friends. So don't spew whatever here." Jimin raised his voice defending Jungkook but the lady remained unswayed.

"Jimin-ssi! If it was your company now, you are free to bring anyone as you please." Eunae calmly spoke while she actually reminded Jimin of who had the upper hand in Oracle now.

"Aish! Alright! It's just training him on basics." Jimin partially submitted to her authority yet protested to leave his buddy hanging.

"Seriously? Jimin-ah, they run many companies too. If he wanna train himself, why can't he go join one of the companies they own?" Eunae sighed, sapped by Jimin's unwavering persistence.

"Noona, that's because I wanna learn things the way they are. But my dad would influence the people wherever I go and do my things for me. I know he cares for me but it makes me feel like I'll turn into a lazy puppet in his hands if this kept continuing. But if it's Oracle, he wouldn't gain any people to control the things I do." Jungkook voiced out his reason, for why he have seeked Jimin's favor and wants to join Oracle.

"Eunae-yah, he just wanna man up. Why wouldn't you support a boy with dreams?" Jimin softly asked, looking at Eunae with sparkling orbs, that almost resembled an angel in Eunae's eyes.

"Hence, let him join your team too. I will sign the recruiting document and the postings order." Jimin carefully addded looking at Eunae, who silently pondered about Jungkook's recruitment.

"No way!!!" She gasped, snapping out of her stance. "Never am I gonna allow this!!!" Eunae shrieked glaring at the Park boy. "Ah come on why not?" Jimin pouted with his eyes so soft.

"This isn't any army camp base Jimin-ah! Plus why me?" Eunae sighed, the energy she had boosted with her cup of coffee just few minutes ago, completely drained with Jimin's request to add a newbie directly recruited by him.

"Try to understand our kitty's situation too Jimin-ah!" Suga folded his arms pointing at Eunae with his eyes, finally deciding to utter some few words to support his young female version.

"Mineow! Atleast you understood me." Eunae whimpered slightly, wiping her fake tears that made him roll his eyes at her with his lips curving into a smile.

"But noona, he's really sweet! Look at him, he's such a baby!" Taehyung placed his hand under the chin of the youngest boy among them, who the whole talk was concerned about.
