・❥ Late nights

(Content/Info; draft chapter, tall Korean men, apple juice, sudden angst bc I'm a bitch)

I look over the material, it was late and way past my bedtime that I had on weekdays.

I told Lauren to stop by and cover my birds since I would be staying at work late and I didn't want them to stay up past their bedtime as well.

*I'm such a mama bird.*

"Hey." I hear a deep voice shake me out of my thoughts, I look around to see it was my boss Junho, well my boss's son but he recently started being the CEO of the company so now he's my boss.

He knelt down at my desk, he was a pretty tall guy, "Hello mister chul..."

"Or... do you want me to call you something different?" I was a little rattled by him, he looks at me with those two colored eyes of his, "You're fine, I don't mind."

"Besides, I am mister chul as well." He laughs.

"r-right..."

He looks down after saying that, he seemed sad.

I couldn't believe how I was acting, maybe because I was tired or maybe because I hadn't spoken to him since that Christmas party last year but I was acting so shy when I knew that wasn't like me.

*Okay maybe it is me, but I shouldn't be shy right now!*

"Do you work late often?" He asks, "You haven't even left your desk, well to go to the bathroom yes but you look so focused." I nod, "Well I'm passionate about work."

"I can tell." He smiles, "I admire that."

I blush a bit, "Thank you..."

*Gah! Get it together!*

Junho reaches into a bag, "Well I shouldn't bother you, I bought you something to drink to help boost morale." He sets down a small liter of apple juice.

"Apple juice?" I raise my eyebrow at him, "Can't have coffee because it's too late, same with soda. You've been drinking water this whole time and everyone loves Apple juice."

I just stared at him, I was so confused that he would buy me Apple juice of all things, "Well, chul. As much as I love Apple juice you must be aware that you shouldn't just give grown women Apple juice like that."

"And why's that?" He raises his eyebrow, *God he's so sexy...*

*NO MARIGOLD. HE'S YOUR BOSS!*

I clear my throat, "Because I'm 23! Not 4!" He chuckles, "It's okay if you wanna be 4. No harm in that."

*Huh.*

"Also I'm only a year older than you, maybe I know what's best?" He laughs, "Kidding of course."

My eyes widen at him, I just can't seem to decode him.

He looks at me, "That might have been offensive, I apologize." He looks to the side, "I can take the Apple juice if you don't want it, I didn't mean to offend you."

"No no!" I wave my hands quickly, "You're fine! I was just teasing you... I'm sorry."

He bites his lip and I thought I almost saw Jesus, "Okay." He says huskily, *Did I offend him?*

He starts to walk away but pauses, "Let me know when you're done so I can lock up." I nod and he smiles walking back into his office.

*What was that?!*

*Why was he so... intimidating when I said I was teasing him?*

*And that... 'wanna be 4' thing... was he implying what I think he was implying?!*
