Jeon Jungkook groaned as someone pulled his blanket away. "Come on! Wake up, sleepyhead" Jungkook sat up and ran a hand through his hair. "What time is it?", he asked, his voice husky.
"Late enough for you to quickly take a shower, dess up and eat"
Jungkook watched Yoongi fold the blanket and put it neatly on the bed. "Why don't you get some maids?", he asked. Yoongi sighed. "You know I like my privacy" Jungkook smirked and got up, and stretched his limbs. "Yeah? Then why am I in your house since the last 3 months?" Yoongi folded his arms against his chest. Jungkook threw up his hands. "What? I'm just asking because you like your privacy"
Yoongi shook his head, smiling. "Fool. If I hadn't saved you, you would've been robbed by those...gangsters and would probably be lying somewhere in the gutter"
Jungkook finished his breakfast and stood up, wearing his jacket. "I should get going" Yoongi looked up from his breakfast and newspaper. "You sure I couldn't drop you off?" Jungkook smiled. "You know I'm not going somewhere. I'm just...wandering around. Looking for a job"
"You could work where I work"
"Ming Entertainment? Nah, it's too crowded"
"Seems like that"
Jungkook sighed. "You know Ming doesn't pay well to small jobs like manager or makeup artist. It only focuses on it's stars. Like you" Yoongi chuckled. "It's true. But be careful out there. Call me if you need anything"
.........
Taehyung yawned as he checked emails on his laptop. He hadn't slept soundly last night. Everytime he started to fall asleep, the nightmare woke him up. The nightmare that he was being crushed brutally by many giant light stands. He had nightmares since he was a child, the result of being ignored and tortured by his parents. He had tried meditation, medication, and what not. But, he wasn't getting better. He was lucky that he hadn't got depressed.
The door knocked and Jin entered. "What ya doing, pal?" Taehyung yawned as he answered, "Just checking emails. What happened?" Jin sat opposite Taehyung. "The job notice is up on our website. And we've got, like, 50 candidates already", Jin said. "Then let's interview them", Taehyung said. Jin sighed. "If you can do it alone, then it's good. Because I have a meeting right now. And then I have to get a few important things done before this afternoon"
Taehyung drummed his fingers on his wooden desk. "It's fine. But we don't have time for so many interviews. I have to shoot a scene this afternoon" Jin leaned back. "Then I'll do something. You just catch up on your sleep"
"Is it that obvious?"
Jin smiled, getting up and adjusted his suit. "You look like you just came back from running around the globe"
.........
Jungkook walked on the sidewalk, admiring the magnificent, tall buildings. He came across JinHit, and the job offer flashed across his mind. Thank God he had checked their website first thing in the morning. But he wondered whether he had the qualifications to be a manager. Well, they surely don't need a person with a PHD.
He got on the elevator. He didn't know that outsiders couldn't just get on elevators and enter the building. And the security didn't notice him.
He stood at the far corner, watching two men talk in hushed tones. "We really need a manager, but he doesn't want to interview them right now. He's busy and so am I"
"Well, in that case we need to hire the first candidate. We can always fire them later"
Jungkook couldn't help but eavesdrop. He knew he would lose the job because he hadn't registered, and he wasn't a candidate on the list. If he wanted this job, he needed to act fast. He was assured the salary was in thousands.
"Um, excuse me..." Both the men turned to look towards him. "I heard you talking about the manager vacancy, and I wonder if I could register now"
"Do you have any job experience?"
Jungkook hesitated. "Not as a manager, but I've worked as a salesman. If that counts"
They both looked at each other, then one of them extended a hand. "You're hired" Jungkook couldn't believe it. He shook his hand. "What, just like that?"
"You want the job or not?", the other man asked. Jungkook nodded fast. "Absolutely. But how will I tell the CEO that I'm hired?"
The first man smiled. "You're telling him right now"
Jungkook smiled nervously. "Oh, uh...thanks for hiring me, sir" Jin smiled. "No problem. But I'm gonna make one thing clear. If you prove to be a mess, or even tried to hurt Taehyung...you're gonna end up in jail" Jungkook's face became pale, but he remained calm. "Yes, I understand"
The elevator door opened to the top floor. "Go to Taehyung's office right now. He's going for shooting. Your job starts from right now", Jin said, walking out towards his own office. Jungkook opened his mouth to ask something,but then closed it. The other man slapped his back. "Well, what are you waiting for? As the director, I suggest you go get our man fast" Jungkook became nervous. He had met two people of high position as soon as he had stepped in. Director Joe was the best director in Seoul. All his movies became an instant hit, but he only worked with JinHit too.
"Y-Yes", Jungkook stammered, turning around to go to the opposite hallway.
He didn't even get to ask where Taehyung's office was.
.........
Taehyung shut his laptop and stood up, ready for the remaining shoot. He was locking his desk drawers, when the door opened and a young man stepped in, looking out of place. "Who are you?", he asked. The man stammered. "I-I'm Jeon Jungkook, you're new manager" Ah, so Jin did find him someone. But he wanted someone professional, not someone like William. But he didn't even know this person.
"I'm sorry, but you're not my new manager. I'll interview you, then we'll see", Taehyung said, putting the keys in his pocket. "But...Sir said-", Jungkook said.
"Whatever he said, I don't know"
"But..." Jungkook didn't want to lose his job, when he hadn't even started.
Just then, Taehyung's phone rang and he picked it up. "Hello?"
"Hey, I know you're having problem with the new guy", Jin said.
"It's not him...it's just that I don't want someone lik William"
"I assure you, he's not like him at all. Jungkook seems sincere and hardworking. At least give him a chance. You can fire him whenever you want"
Taehyung looked at Jungkook, who was staring down at the floor. Did Taehyung felt pity for him?
"Fine, I'll give him a chance"
"Yes! Thanks, Tae. Meet you later at Sunshine", Jin said.
Taehyung chuckled, putting the phone down.
He looked at Jungkook. "Let's see what you can do"
Jungkook's face lit up, and he would've hugged his boss if there wasn't a large desk between them. "But", said Taehyung, "no mistakes and no misbehaviours. Jin must've told you what would happen" Jungkook nodded. "Yes, I read the news. It's good that he's in jail" Taehyung didn't mention the fact that though William was in jail, he would be released soon because the charges weren't that big to keep him in for years.
"Yeah. And no being late" Jungkook nodded.
"Let's go now, to the shooting site", Taehyung said.
