Chairman Jin | KookJin

Sixteen

Yoongi's eyes widened when he opened the door to Jin's condo to let him in. He was in shock to see his boss with a woman standing side by side with him.

"Yoongi, why are you here?!" Jin asked.

"Chairman J-jin, who--" Yoongi quickly composed himself and cleared his throat, "I mean- good evening, Chairman Jin. I came here to organize everything for your dinner with your grandfather." Then he whispered, "S-sir, uhm- where did you find someone who will play as your girlfriend?!"

Jin chuckled a bit, then he placed his arm behind Jungkook's waist and pulled him close to his body, "What do you mean, Secretary Min?! This is my girlfriend, Jeon Jungkyee."

Jin then guided Jungkook to walk with him inside, but the Chairman quickly whispered to Yoongi, "He looks stunning, I know."

"W-wha--" Yoongi's mouth went agape as he took a second look on Jungkook, who slightly bowed to greet him silently. He then walked behind Jin right away and asked, "Chairman Jin, wait-- are you sure about this? I mean- how is he going to make your grandfather believe this?"

"It's fine.. chill, will you? We have already discussed what we'll say, and he even tried adjusting his voice to become more feminine. He has a sweet voice especially when singing, so no worries, hmm?" Jin smiled at Yoongi reassuringly, while Jungkook was taking deep breaths to calm himself down.

"How can you be so relaxed when Mr. Jeon here is so nervous too?!"

"He's fine. His cute face will do the job." Jin said. "Is pop-pop on his way though?"

"Yes, he is, Sir."

"Great. Let's relax in the living room while waiting for him."

*******

Jungkook was holding his breath the whole time - from the moment the old Kim entered Jin's condo up to now that he's being introduced, especially that he was scanned from head to toe meticulously.

But he bowed before Jin's grandfather and greeted him in his soft, high-pitched voice, "Hello, Sir, good evening. I am Jeon Jungko-- J-jungkyee. It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Kim."

The old man's eyebrow was slightly raised upon hearing Jungkook's voice, so Jin became nervous. The latter was supposed to say something, but his grandfather already said, "You have quite an odd voice."

"He is-- she.. she is actually feeling a bit under the weather right now, pop-pop. But she tried her best to make it tonight since it was your invitation." Jin quickly reasoned out, then he placed his palm on Jungkook's forehead, "Oh, I'm glad you're a bit better now, baby. I told you, pop-pop will understand if we say you're sick."

Jungkook shyly nodded and said, "N-no. I'm fine. I wouldn't miss this opportunity of meeting your grandfather, Chairman J-jin."

"She still calls you Chairman Jin?"

Jin laughed awkwardly, "Ha-ha.. haa!! Yeah, baby.. pop-pop is right. We're not in the company anymore. It's just us here, so you can call me y-yeobo.. Don't be shy, hmm? My grandpa will like that more. Right, pop-pop?!"

"Sure. Feel more comfortable around me."

"Y-yeobo? Yes, yeobo.." Jungkook said then took a deep breath, trying to contain his nervous chest.

"Well, apologies if I suddenly asked to meet you, Ms. Jungkyee. It's just that my grandson wouldn't even plan in introducing you if I did not insist. So please, just feel comfortable. I don't want you to feel pressured - let's just have dinner and learn more about each other."
