secrets ━ chapter one

beep beep beep. your alarm had just woken you up from a deep sleep. today was the big day. you were being moved up from a receptionist at Hybe Electronics, to the new bosses assistant. although your job before seemed like more of a job then being assistant, you were making even more money in this position then before. Mr. Park, the president of the company, announced that his son would be the new boss in the communications department. you were to be there at his beck and call, getting him anything he needs as his official assistant.
you felt special to be chosen to take this position, as many of you co-workers, always talked about Mr. Parks son and how they wanted to be chosen for the position themselves. apparently he was very, very handsome, but also very driven and cold. you were hoping he would go easy on you, however.
you threw on a light yellow sweater, a cute jean skirt, and some converse. your hair was cute and slightly curled from the day before. "ah! i better hurry so i'm not late to my new job! eek!" you thought to yourself, scurrying out the door.
________________________

you rushed through the Hybe doors, coffee for you and Mr. Park's son in hand. you rushed into the crowded elevator and waited until you were on the highest floor, which was were his office was located. you walked past a couple of cubicles, until at the end of the large room, you saw a glass door, in which you couldn't see past, which had the bosses name on it.
"ah, Park Sunghoon is his name. sounds fancy." you think. you sit in a chair by the rooms entrance, and wait. a woman got up to talk with you, saying, "hi there! my name is Yuna! nice to meet you." you introduced yourself as well, smiling. "so..your the unlucky and lucky girl who gets to work with Sunghoon? good luck!" she said, you assumed she wasn't trying to make you nervous, but suddenly you were. "oh..what do you mean?" you ask Yuna.
"well, it's just that most of his past assistants either have fallen in love with him and got there hearts broken because he didn't care and was super cold or some just couldn't stand how forward and rude he was, so they quit...uh, BUT i'm sure you will be fine, Y/N!" you replied by simply smiling awkwardly and nodding. "oh god. i really hope i don't embarrass myself...but i definitely won't fall in love. at least i don't have to worry about that with my boyfriend, Jake, around." you say to yourself, feeling a little reassurance.
Yuna told you he would probably be ready soon, and that you could always ask on the intercom by the door, to see if he was ready for you. she went back to her seat, as you went up to the intercom. you pressed the button and it let out a beeping noise, in which was your cue to speak into the mic. "hello, Mr. Park Sunghoon. it is Lee Y/N, your new assistant here, to bring the coffee you requested, and do what you need." after a moment, a deep voice responded back saying, "ah yes. come in now."
you grabbed the drink and walked into the room. sitting at the desk was a tall, broad shouldered, black haired man in a suit. you almost tripped due to how attractive he was. they really weren't kidding when they said he was hot, because he was. but you had to think of Jake, your boyfriend, and your work, shoving the thought aside. Sunghoon made eye contact with you, and smirked a little bit. you handed him your coffee, in which he grabbed, touching your hand while you gave it to him, keeping eye contact with you throughout.
"thank you, miss Y/N. i'm delighted to have you as my new assistant. i hand picked you actually." you were taken back by what he told you. "really? i-im flattered." you say, a bit surprised still. he just kept looking at you. your phone momentarily started to buzz, causing you to react and see who texted you. "who is that?" he asked.
"oh, um just my boyfriend, Jake. he is checking up on me. it's my first day in this position and he is just being sweet. sorry for the interruption." you said as he shook his head, "maybe put your phone on do not disturb, because for this job, your only focus is on me." he said coldly, making you nervous. you nodded and he added, "how long have you two been together?" you were weirded out by this question, but answered promptly. "a little less then a year. and i apologize, i won't text while at work." he smirked again, causing your heart to race a little.
"ah, good. i'm glad we understand eachother. well then, here's your first assignment," he handed you a list with names on it. "please go and find out everything you can about each of these men." this was an odd request, but you didn't hesitate to grab the list and start to head out. you noticed something, "aren't these the heads of other competing corporations?" you asked Sunghoon. he chuckled, "good, Y/N. i'm glad you know your stuff. your perfect. that is, perfect for this job." you smiled rather stiffly and walked out of the handsome Park Sunghoons office, rather weirded out, but ready to get to work with what he needed done.

heading back to your seat, Yuna asked you how it was. "it was okay, i mean he wasn't to cold like you said, in fact, it seems as tho he was already very comfortable with me..." she just looked at you shocked as you further explain what happened. "NO. WAY. that is so unlike him. maybe there's something about you Y/N...and isn't he SO fine!!" you laughed, replying with "oh absolutely not. one, i have a boyfriend, and two, he is my superior." you say, shaking your head at Yuna. "UGH! well come onnn, you have to admit he's handsome at leasttt!" she said, almost begging for you to agree.
"well, ugh i suppose so.. but NO ONE can find out i think that he's hot. got it?!" you say, nervously. Yuna motioned like she was zipping her mouth shut and throwing away a key, making you both laugh.
you soon get busy working on your task, searching up several different people. something felt a bit off in this assignment to you, but you didn't think to much on it, because the list was long, and you were probably going to have to stay late finishing, so there was no use dilly-dallying.
________________________

it was now about 10pm, and by now, Yuna, along with all the other employees where probably home, cozy in their beds. but you were stuck finishing up the list. there were about ten people left to research, when you heard a shuffling from somewhere in the room. "i could've sworn i was alone in here..." you think to yourself. you turn back to do your work as a hand comes down on your desk and a figure is leaning over you. you let out a scream but stop yourself after seeing that it's just Mr. Park Sunghoon.
"oops, did i scare you? my apologies miss Y/N." he says nonchalantly. "oh no, it's okay, i just wasnt aware that anyone else was here. you just scared me a bit, that's all." he nodded his head and continued, "well, it seems like your not quite done yet, but it's okay, since technically you could've been home a while ago. i'm glad you a diligent worker, miss Y/N." butterflies filled your stomach, but you tried and pushed them down, because just being around this man made you feel like you were cheating on Jake.
after he stopped leaning over you, Sunghoon told you to just continue the rest tomorrow. you got up to leave, but before you could walk out the door, a large, cold hand, grabbed your wrist tightly. "oh, and last thing. tomorrow night, i would like if you came to a work dinner with me." you looked a bit shocked, but before you could answer he went on, "i want to get to know you more Y/N, and i will not take no as an answer. frankly, i don't care about this, Jake, character. and now that you work for me, you must do as i ask. so? will you be mine for tomorrow evening?" he said slyly, looking even more attractive then ever. the butterflies now multiplied, and you obviously couldn't say no, so you quietly agreed, saying you would go.
he smirked, as he often did. Sunghoon then removed his hand from your wrist, traced your jaw and then brought his fingertips to your chin, lifting your head slightly, to make eye contact with him. "i'm looking forward to it, miss Y/N. goodnight." and with that, he was gone, walking back to his large, dark office.
________________________

as you drove back home, your mind was spinning, trying to process all that went down, just a few minutes ago. was it horrible that you wanted to go with Sunghoon? and didn't feel to bad about it? Jake was loving and all, but he was often to busy to hang out. the two of you only really had a relationship through your phones. and there was something drawing you to this dark, mysterious, Park Sunghoon. you would never cheat on Jake, but it was almost as if your boss wanted you to...
in this new job, you felt as though there would be many secrets you would have to keep, but you weren't exactly sure what they were just yet.
