two.

Three wrinkles appear on a forehead of a distressed face. An irritated sigh left the man who pinched the bridge of his nose whilst reading another article about his work. The words were never good, the papers would sit in his office waiting to ruin his day before it even started.

The office room was meant to be the part every worker dreamt to sit in one day. It was large with sofas in the middle and a desk full of paperwork in front of a large window. There were company awards surrounding the walls that flexed on anyone that stepped inside.

Yet, Jeongguk found himself dreading every time he stepped in.

He placed the article aside and glanced at where his old secretary used to be. He desperately needed a new one. Jeongguk was capable of handling most his work on his own, but sometimes he needed someone to sort out all the scandals and arguments he continuously got into.

One that doesn't ask for a higher  pay every week too. Jeongguk scoffed to himself whilst logging into his computer. It took a while, so he decided to go on his phone in the mean time instead.

He barely had social media since anywhere he went, he was met by hate. So, he'd often reply to texts from his friends or watch YouTube. It annoyed him that he couldn't post on Instagram like he used to, but he had to sacrifice something to become successful and happy.

The first text was from a friend he hadn't spoken to in year or so which caught his attention first. He raised an eyebrow and clicked the message noticing that it was from two days again.

Namjoon
Hey Jeongguk, I know it's been a while but I was wondering if you needed a secretary or some type of employee? I have a friend named Kim Taehyung who is up for the role. I can send you in his CV if you're interested, thanks.

jk
Is he able to work ASAP? I'm skipping interviews since I am in need of one urgently. Let me know.

Jeongguk placed his phone down noticing that he had logged in. Instantly, he opened up his emails and documents that discussed the controversial building his was planning on constructing. It was actually an orphanage he aimed to own and also start work with — until it sparked problems suddenly.

He darted his eyes over to his phone that lit up at a new text. He reached for it once again and tapped on the notification from Namjoon.

Namjoon
He is able to start working immediately. I have emailed you his CV containing contact information and so on, he has worked two secretary jobs before this.

jk
Alright, thank you. I'll get in contact with him soon.

Jeongguk once again placed his phone and shifted his gaze back to his computer. As expected, Namjoon's email popped up and he began to read through the CV.

Jeongguk was a little surprised by how pleasing the CV was to look at. It was simple which most weren't — it definitely wasn't poorly written. The personal statement was convincing and the experience the person had was convincing. He couldn't help but notice there was no information about current education or having completed university.

How old is the person? Only A level qualifications? They must still be really young. Jeongguk decided to call the person in order to get a quicker reply. The quicker he got a secretary the quicker he could get his scandals solved.

He picked up the company phone beside his computer and began to dial the number in. It rang for a couple of seconds until a deep voice replied.

"Hello?"

"Hello, this is Jeon Jeongguk of Jeon- the construction company. Is this Kim Taehyung?" Jeongguk swayed on his chair and stared up at the ceiling whilst waiting to a reply.

There was sudden shuffling on the other end, "Yes hi hello- this is Kim Taehyung...sir,"

Jeongguk raised an amused eyebrow, "I received your CV thirty minutes ago and I am pleased to say I'm interested in working with you. When will you be able to start?"

"Start?! A-as soon as possible! Do I not need an interview?!" An excited voice caused Jeongguk to flinch and pull his phone away with an annoyed face.

"Not necessarily, a small meeting is what I'm aiming for. I need one immediately and I will host a small interview as we meet," Jeongguk began to wonder how old the man on the other end was due to how much enthusiastic he sounded.

"Okay! When do I start?!" Taehyung sounded as if he was jumping in the spot from excitement.

Jeongguk hummed as he thought and quickly flicked through the calendar on his desk, "Are you available to meet tomorrow afternoon?" Jeongguk mentally winced at how rushed everything was, he had a gut feeling this would be a huge mistake and he'd hire some random bloke that would completely fuck his company up.

"Yes that's fine,"

"Okay great, I'm just gonna email you our application so that you can fill out important details we need to know. I'll see you tomorrow then?" He waited once again for a reply.

"Yes okay see you tomorrow!"

At that Jeongguk ended the call and dropped his face into the palms of his hands.

I've definitely hired some useless kid.

So rude 😒
