Jimin was so tired,the week had given him hardly any time to breath,yes he could have extended the deadline but he felt he needed to prove himself to his new bosses.
The building had a much better flow to it,there were a few minor things to finish like seating outside the dance studios and more lockers in the cloakroom/shower area but they wouldn't take long.
Today Jimin was to sit in with the managers for a general discussion meeting to discuss the current changes and see if they worked or if they had any problems.
For all Jimins confidence on his job he had a paranoia about not being good enough,hence he drove himself to his limits,memories of parents dismissing his school achievements,of them saying he'd never amount to anything,only their other son could do well in their eyes,despite the fact he got in trouble...he was straight so that made everything ok.
Walking into the building he was given smiles by the receptionists who lived their new area.
"Morning Mr Park"
"I've told you it's Jimin,good morning have a good day," he smiled at them before waiting for a lift.
A figure came and stood next to him and he looked up to see Jeon Jungkook there.
"Good morning Mr Jeon."
A nod was all he got before the lift came and Jungkook got in.
"Well aren't you going up too?"
"Oh yes,right..."
As the lift went up Jimn fiddled with his short fingers.
"Problem ?" Jungkook asked.
"What?....er no....."
"Well stop fidgeting ."
Jimin stopped immediately causing Jungkook to chuckle ,
"Submissive aren't you?"
Jimin blushed his mind going to places it shouldn't as he thought what it would be like to have this man take charge of him in bed.
Jungkooks eyebrow raised as he saw Jimin's blush deepen and he looked spaced out.
About to ask what Jimin was thinking the lift stopped and Jimn rushed out,forgetting politeness as he dashed away from the situation.
"Hmmm what were you thinking Park Jimin?"
He stepped out and walked to his new office smiling which caused some of the staff to sigh at how good looking he was and others to wonder who or what had caused it.
As he stepped into his office felt pleased.Although he'd never thought it before this office,its layout and where it was situated made him feel much more relaxed.
In his old office he was prone to close his blinds to block out the view of a corridor here he kept them open liking the hustle and bustle outside and the fact he literally could walk into his friends offices if he saw they weren't busy instead of wondering what they were up to.
Right now Suga across the way,had his feet up on the desk laughing as he talked to someone on the phone,Tae was walking in with sunglasses on meaning he'd been out drinking last night...he stopped to talk to Jimin...his arm across his shoulder looking very cosy,which for some reason set Jungkook on edge. He stood up walking outside,
"Mr Park when you have finished chatting can you check the smaller dance room is available at two...,if it's not too much bother..."
Jimin turned to him at the rebuke in public.
"I'm sorry Mr Jeon but I don't officially start work until nine which is ten minutes away,and if you looked at the central calendar in your computer you should be able to find out that detail.....unless you need more training on the system?"
The two glared at each other Jungkook finally giving in and turning back to his office not letting the other male see his small smile at being put in his place by the fiesty new hire.
Tae followed Jungkook in.
"What was that for?"
"What?"
"You playing the boss?"
"I am a boss?"
"You know what I mean Kook,why the attitude the guys worked hard to organise all this and you treat him like a skiving servant?"
"I know...it was just...I dunno,anyway what were you so cosy with him for?"
"I was thanking him for getting me out of trouble yesterday,two people I was thinking of bringing on board apparently dislike the shit out of each other,they had both dated the same man and were blaming the other for it when he left them,Jimn said it would cause an undercurrent here and if I wasn't sure then to go to a club they were known to frequent,let's just say women can beat the shit out of each other,not the sort we want here."
"How did he know and not you?"
"We frequent different places he's seen them in full flow too."
"I thought he was just a jobs man...no life outside his work...I mean look at the hours he's put in the last week,here all day then stays for a bit to oversee the changes before he goes home."
"He's been staying on?"
"Well yer,I don't know how long for..."
"Did Namjoon ok it?"
"Well I don't know...we leave staff problems up to him.....damn of course he's gonna ask for overtime isn't he....sneaky."
"I was thinking more of how tired he must be..."
"Let's bring it up at the meeting....just so he knows he can't claim anytime he wants,other staff will be thinking it's favouritism ."
Tae didn't look happy about it but nodded.
At ten thirty Jimin found himself seated at a table with his bosses.
"So I want to say Jimin I'm impressed with the changes I have no qualms about any of it," Namjoon smiled.
"God I love my office it's much more relaxing than that boring old room." Jin announced
"Much as I agree can I ask how much overtime we will be paying you? Yes the work was done but I presume the few extra hours you stayed a day is more beneficial to you than us and we don't want to see staff that have been here longer get dissatisfied at the favouritism."
"What do you mean Jungkook,Jimin stayed,I thought you gave them the list and they got on with it Jimin."
"I'm sorry sir,I didn't realise that I was going to be put under the microscope but I thought it best to stay and help so I could be on the spot if their were difficulties,I have not claimed for any overtime as it was my choice to do it."
"Jimin just how many hours did you do?"
Jimin looked down,"a few," he lied.
Jungkook frowned at how wrong he had been but said in an authorative voice remembering the others submissiveness earlier,
"Til what time did you work? No lying Jimin...."
Jimin pouted then sighed," til 4 am."
"What!!" Various voices said.
"It's fine,I'm fine it got done so no problem," he muttered.
"Jimin we never expected you to literally live in the place!god,I didn't even bother to ask how this was getting done so efficiently,you not only masterminded it all you worked an extra full week to make it happen,you can't do that!" Namjoon said worried for the others health." What awful bosses we are...."
"No....you are all very good,please...I chose this....i had to make it happen .....I needed to show I can do this....I'm not useless....." he blurted then clapped a hand over his mouth closing his eyes momentarily before going on more calmly,
"I mean...you kindly offered me the job and I ne...wanted to show my skills causing as little disruption as possible."
Jungkook stared at the male seeing the real Park Jimin, not the confident slightly brash male he wanted others to see,but the person obviously treated less than worthwhile by someone who was trying to prove to himself and others that he was capable. He could see that nervous habit of fidgeting with his fingers had taken him over again.
"Mr Park....Jimin," he said in a tone that made the other stop fidgeting," I for one apologise for my rude assumption earlier,let's say life has made me a bit jaded,I think we can recompense you for your time and hard work."
"No!.....I don't want anything...I didn't want that." He burst out.
"It would make us feel better," Suga mused
"I can't accept it."
"Something...there must be something you'd like?" Hobi asked .
About to shake his head Jimin hesitated.
"Erm.....well could I use the small dance studio for an hour once a week til I join a new one,I haven't had time since I moved to find a good local one and I kinda miss it,it helps me relax...only for a couple of weeks I promise and on my own time?"
"Of course you can! I saw your resume you got to a very good stage in contemporary is that what you do now?" Hobi asked interestingly.
"I...well ...I took up all types it's nice to just go with the flow..."
"You'll have to show me sometime,"
"I don't want to embarrass myself in front of an expert like you..."
Again the nervous hand fidget Jungkook noticed.
He cleared his throat,
"So are we all agreed we like the new setup?"
Nods all around and a stifled sigh of relief from Jimin.
"So Jin and I have employed two IT guys both starting Monday...The downstairs offices are ready yes Jimin?"
"Yes,two adjoining, I've set up desks and printers they have laptops and will run through the system with me before diving deeper to see if we have anything we need to be made secure,if it's ok with you all I may spend a few hours a day with them but will be available on my phone."
"Good,good...can I ask Jimin how you are so tech savvy?"
"Nothing to be proud of...my brother...well he messed up when he was younger getting in with people who scammed others,I'd never thought about it til I saw the damage it did...so I learned what to look out for met people who could teach me above the conventional expertise and try and pass it on when I can.Older people often get scammed as they barely know what to do as it is, so I used to visit an old people's home and teach them things to look out for."
"Well I'm sure your parents are pleased they have one good son!" Jin smiled
"You'd think so wouldn't you," Jimin murmured before he fake smiled and asked if that was all.
"Yes,thank you Jimin" Namjoon said smiling as Jimin got up and left.
"God he must be exhausted!" Tae muttered
"He's very independent isn't he?Hobi mused
"Well let's get on we have a business to run!"
They left going to their offices but Jungkook looked over to the desk by the window where Jimin sat rubbing his forehead tiredly before sitting straighter and plastering a smile on his face when a junior came over to ask him something .
Jungkook felt a frisson of interest run through him as he stared at the male.Fir the first time he really stared at him,seeing a slim body with very nice ass,plump lips which looked adorable when pouting as he'd seen earlier,his demeanour was of a strong minded person which his slightly feminine fragileness belied.
"Who are you Park Jimin and why the fuck am I imagining you underneath me as I fuck the life out of. You?"
