Falling For A Single Mother KTH FF ✔️

Chapter 5

Y/N's P.O.V :

"Excuse me, Miss Min?" I flinch, my gaze fleeting towards the standing figure of Mr. Jeon at the threshold of my cabin door.

"Y-yes Mr. Jeon" I hastily stand up, nerves building up inside my stomach as he continues to stand there without uttering anything, his eyes sweeping upon my contours.

"It's lunch hour, are you not going to have lunch?" His head tilt towards his right, inquistive gaze watching over my fumbling figure. My eyes fall on the digital clock on my table, my eyes flying up towards him once again.

"I didn't realise."

"Well it's fine, I was about to head to cafeteria, so I thought why not take along the newbie?" His left brow rises in a mischievous suggestion leaving me flush under his unwavering attention.

"If it's alright with you, I wouldn't like to intrude." I turned my gaze towards the documents I received not long ago.

"You see my friend ditched me for his work, so I would really like some intrusion, if that is fine with you." My lips twitch into a small smile at his words,

"I would like some company too. Just a minute, let me just save up the work." He nods, waiting patiently for me.

Somewhere along the talks, I lost the trail of subject we were talking about. Jungkook and I, have been sitting in the lunch area for a better part of 15 minutes and this man infront me, seems too enthusiastic after being aware of a daughter's presence in my life.

It's been a week since I joined, I wouldn't say I have good work life balance, but somehow I have managed to not mess up and do my work diligently. The huge relief is that Mrs. Shin - seeing how tired I am when I get back home - decided to take the task of dinner upon herself. Although I denied but she insisted so with raise in her pay, we finally settled on her additional responsiblities. It will be a lie if I say I do not enjoy eating home made foods, because I absolutely love them. Moreover she is better cook than me, so it's just another plus point.

And another thing- Jungkook has been a great co worker and now after dropping formalities, I would say he's a good and my first  office friend too. He helps me out whenever I get too entangled with the do's and don't's of the rules, even polite enough to extend the looming deadline on my head, not to mention he has been accompanying me for lunch ever since. Something about his friend being too busy. I do not mind, though. He's a jovial gentleman.

Did I mention that he's actually a kid at heart? He loves expressing his words and emotions through his facial and hand expression, just like he is curently gesticulating his hands trying to explain how much he adores children.

I feel guilty to not mind the conversation but the sensible part of my brain seems to stuck at an alien thought.

"How about we set a play date for Voni and Yumi?" Jungkook's booming voice finally manage to pull me out of my thought, my eyes widening when I fail to grasp someone named Yumi,

God, did I really blank out? What will he think now?

He must have caught on my expression as he sheepishly smiles, his fingers scratching the back of his neck, something he seems to do when he's fidgeting.

"She's my little sister, 5 years old. She's always itchy to play but I make to home pretty late." Guilt shimmers on his contours, his eyes straying away  unable to hold an eye contact as he speaks.

"Now that you mentioned your daughter, do you mind if Yumi meet her? Maybe they can become friends too?" His eyes shine with anticipation, and curiosity glimmers in his brown orbs as he waits for my response. I nod eagerly, already liking the idea.
