Closing the office door behind you, you still held your breath as you couldn't quite fathom what had just happened. Not only did you still have a job – but Jungkook; notorious for not having much emotion or consideration towards anyone who wasn't a potential business partner – had just profusely apologized to you, several times.
"Is this a dream? Did I imagine that?" you blinked in an attempt to dispel your shock as you saw three of your female work colleagues flagging you over towards the reception desk, thinking that it was far enough out of ear shot of Jungkook's office so they could quiz you on what just happened.
"What was that about? Are you okay?"
"You're as white as a ghost! Did...what happened? Are you –"
"Yes, I'm fine! Don't worry...I just, accidently sent Mr. Jeon the wrong email on Friday night. It was a personal email meant for my grandparents and seeing as Mr. Jeon was in my recent contacts list...I pressed his name by mistake. Mr. Jeon was just telling me to make sure it doesn't happen again – everything is okay!" you couldn't believe your ability to come up with a believable, barefaced lie within seconds of being prompted.
All three women sighed as they put their hands to their chest out of pure relief for you. "We really thought you were about to get fired! Did you hear that tone in his voice? So scary..."
"Yeah – but I find that quite sexy to be honest..." they began giggling amongst themselves as you inwardly rolled your eyes at their girlish behaviour, before excusing yourself to go off in the direction of your own office to prepare for Doctor Han's arrival. Unbeknownst to you, however; Jungkook was certainly not out of earshot as he heard the entire exchange – sitting comfortably in his office chair as he found himself wondering why you just covered up for his behaviour the way you did. The longer he sat, the more he found himself to almost be in a trance with your scent still marvellously potent in the air. He raised his hand to his face, trailing one of his long, slender fingers across his bottom lip as he recalled kissing you so passionately in his own home. "What's happening to me? Is this what 'feeling' is supposed to be like?" he could have sworn he felt a mixture of wonderfully awful – yet awfully wonderful.
Jungkook shook his head upon swallowing harshly. He couldn't believe that he was acting like a typical love-struck teenage boy right out of one of the many dramas he had seen on television – especially when he was the CEO of one of the biggest corporations in the world. "It's like I'm hungry, but I'm not...or like when I'm exhausted, but I still have so much energy...maybe I just drank a batch of bad blood?" he pondered over the many variables that could possibly be the cause of his current sickness, before pushing all thoughts of you, your kiss, your blood and your scent out of his head; using all his strength to try and focus on his work for the day ahead of him.
Despite what had happened earlier; your day passed by as just another day at the office – much to your relief. Phone-calls, emails, meeting Mr. Jeon's clients and ushering them into his office before making tea or coffee during their meeting – nothing out of the ordinary at all. "I guess it's just back to boring old life now" you sighed as you looked down at your clock on your desk. "8pm...agh, I should really start to head home – not like I have anyone waiting for me at home missing me." You said in reference to your cat, Mugsy, who seemed to have more of a social life than you with the way he gallivanted around your apartment block outside – hooking up with the opposite sex and having the time of his life.
After gathering up your things and switching off the light, you exited your office – locking the door behind you and signing your name off on the reception desk register. Before you could even turn around to begin walking in the direction of the elevator, you felt eyes burning on you – a quiet presence in the empty entrance area as you turned around to be met by none other than Jungkook who had just exited his own office with a surprised look on his face to see you still at the office as late as he was.
