Our Little Experiment | Yoonminseok

Chapter 9

After getting an urgent call from Jessi, Jimin headed to the main office of his agency. The female sounded way too excited over the phone and Jimin was curious to find out what was the matter.

"You'll never believe who just called me." Jessi threw at him as soon as he entered her office.

"Who?" Jimin made his way to the chair and sat opposite of his boss. Jessi was glowing from happiness.

"You won't even try to guess?"

"Oh please, just tell me already."

"Fine, fine. But you're no fun." She leaned back in her executive chair and widely smiled before replying. "Jung Hoseok!"

Jimin honestly didn't know whether to panic or be happy. What might have Hoseok needed from his boss?

"A-and what did he want?" He tried to sound as unbiased as possible, but stuttering didn't help him at all.

"You, of course!"

The male's throat dried in a second. Did he mention anything about... But no, he would never, especially to someone like Jessi.

"I'm sorry, what?"

"Jimin, why are you so stiffen today? I just told you that one of my VIP clients want you to become his permanent makeup artist! Others at your place would be jumping from happiness right now!"

Oh, so that is what's about. Jimin finally sighed in relief and smiled at his boss.

"I'm honored, Jessi. It's really unbelievable." Unbelievable that they gave me just a week before barging back into my life.

"I know, right? It's crazy! You're my most successful rookie artist. I don't know what you did to him last Monday, but the man was just enthralled by your work."

Trust me, you better not to know what I did last time. Jimin was nodding at her words, while Jessi continued bragging.

"I knew I did the right thing when I hired you. You're my little jewel!"

"Thank you, Jessi."

"God, this boy never learns. Don't thank me for truth!"

"Oh right, sorry."

"Anyways, you'll have busy week, darling. You know that Michael Kors is in Korea, right? He'll be holding several fashion shows and Hoseok will be modeling at each one of them." Jessi informed the male and gave him Hoseok's schedule.

"Yes I got it Jessi, thank you. Wait, the first show is tonight. I already should be going." Jimin stood up when he saw that the nearest fashion show would start just in couple of hours.

"Of course! Sang Yeob will drive you." Jimin nodded and headed towards the door, but before he left, Jessi called out his name. "I'm proud of you Jimin, you're doing great. Continue this way and soon you'll be best of the bests." She put two thumbs up and Jimin felt nothing but gratitude. No one usually encouraged him or supported his career decision in the past. Jessi was the first person to acknowledge his talent and she never forgot to remind him how special he was. That made Jimin feel good about himself, feel like he didn't make mistake when chose to follow his heart.

"I'll do my best, Jessi." He bowed and exited her office with a smile lingering on his face.

Jimin quickly dialed his driver's number and let him know about the new destination. After less than five minutes, they were on their way to the fashion show. The ride was quiet as usual, but Jimin had already got used to it. He accepted that Sang Yeob preferred not to talk if there was no necessity, even though Jimin himself loved chatting with new people. Despite seeing each other for a week, his driver was still a big mystery for Jimin. He hoped to find a way to make the male open up a bit.
