Jungkook - One-Shots

Working for your highschool crush; Cold CEO- J.JK

The sleek, modern architecture of Jeon Enterprises loomed above Y/N as she stepped out of the taxi, her heart pounding in her chest. Today was the day that could change her life. Adjusting her blazer, she took a deep breath and walked through the glass doors into the opulent lobby. The marbled floors gleamed under the fluorescent lights, and the air was filled with the hum of success and ambition.

“Good morning, I’m here for an interview with Mr. Jeon,” Y/N said to the receptionist, her voice betraying none of the anxiety she felt inside.

The receptionist nodded, checking her list. “Please take a seat. He’ll be with you shortly.”

Y/N sank into a plush chair, trying to calm her racing heart. It had been years since high school, but the memory of Jeon Jungkook still lingered in her mind like a bittersweet melody. Back then, he was the golden boy—athletic, charming, and seemingly untouchable. She was the quiet girl, buried in her books, unnoticed by most. Yet, there had been moments, fleeting glances, where she felt a connection. But that was all in the past. Today, she was here to prove her worth in a professional setting, not to dwell on teenage dreams.

Chapter 2: The Cold Reunion

“Ms. Y/N, Mr. Jeon will see you now,” the receptionist’s voice jolted Y/N from her thoughts.

Gathering her courage, Y/N stood and followed the receptionist down a long corridor lined with impressive artworks. They stopped in front of an imposing mahogany door.

“Good luck,” the receptionist said with a smile before leaving.

Y/N knocked and waited for the call to enter. The voice that answered was deep and authoritative, sending shivers down her spine. She pushed the door open and stepped inside.

Jeon Jungkook sat behind an enormous desk, his eyes fixed on some documents. He looked up as she entered, and for a moment, his expression was one of shock. But it quickly morphed into the cold, detached mask of a CEO.

“Please, have a seat,” he said, his voice betraying no hint of recognition.

“Thank you,” Y/N replied, sitting down and trying to steady her breathing.

Jungkook leaned back in his chair, studying her intently. “Your resume is impressive, Ms. Y/N. Tell me, what makes you believe you are the right fit for Jeon Enterprises?”

Y/N launched into her prepared speech, detailing her qualifications and experiences. She spoke confidently, but inside, her mind was a whirlwind. Did he remember her? Did he know who she was?

The interview proceeded with professional detachment, but Y/N couldn’t shake the feeling of being scrutinized for reasons beyond her capabilities.

Chapter 3: A Past Unforgotten

Weeks passed, and Y/N found herself replaying the interview over and over in her mind. She hadn’t expected to see Jungkook again, much less in such a powerful position. Then, one morning, an email arrived: she had been offered the position. A mix of excitement and trepidation filled her as she accepted.

Her first day at Jeon Enterprises was a whirlwind of activity. She met her new colleagues, settled into her office, and began to navigate the demands of her role. Jungkook remained a distant, almost ghostly presence—always just out of reach, his eyes often on her but his words seldom directed her way.

Late one evening, Y/N stayed back to finish a project. The office was eerily quiet, the silence punctuated only by the occasional hum of the air conditioning. She was lost in her work when she heard the door creak open. Looking up, she saw Jungkook standing there, his expression unreadable.

“Working late, Ms. Y/N?” he asked, his voice softer than usual.

“I wanted to make a good impression,” she replied, forcing a smile.

“You already have,” he said, stepping closer. There was something different in his eyes—a vulnerability she hadn’t seen before. “I was impressed with you back in high school too. I just never had the courage to tell you.”

Y/N’s heart skipped a beat. “You remembered me?”

“How could I forget?” Jungkook’s voice was a whisper now. “You were different. Genuine. I admired that.”

The room seemed to close in around them, the years falling away as they talked, their shared past weaving its way into the present. The barriers Jungkook had built around himself began to crumble, revealing the boy she once knew beneath the hardened exterior.

Chapter 4: Cracks in the Armor

Days turned into weeks, and the once cold and distant CEO began to show a different side. He sought Y/N’s counsel on projects, engaged her in deep, meaningful conversations, and, most importantly, allowed himself to be vulnerable with her.

One evening, as they worked late again, Jungkook opened up about his journey. “After high school, I was determined to prove myself, to build something that mattered. But along the way, I lost sight of who I was. I became this... machine.”

Y/N listened, her heart aching for the boy he used to be. “You don’t have to be that person anymore, Jungkook. It’s okay to let people in.”

Their eyes met, and for the first time, Y/N saw a glimmer of hope in his. “I’m trying,” he admitted, his voice raw with emotion. “And you’re helping me see that.”

Their relationship deepened, a delicate dance of rediscovery and healing. Jungkook, the once untouchable golden boy, was slowly learning to embrace his humanity, and Y/N, the quiet girl who had always longed for love, was finding her place by his side.

But not everyone was pleased with the changes. Whispers began to circulate in the office, jealousy and resentment brewing among those who felt threatened by Y/N’s influence over the CEO. Jungkook’s icy façade had been their shield, and now it was melting away, leaving them vulnerable.

One day, a senior executive cornered Y/N in the hallway. “You think you can waltz in here and change everything? Don’t be naive. People like you don’t belong in places like this.”
