Falling Crazy in Love - Heewon, Heeseung and Jungwon [Completed]

First day on the job

The sun rose high over Seoul, casting a golden hue on the bustling city. Jungwon stood outside the towering glass building that housed Heeseung's company, his heart pounding with a mix of excitement and dread. Today was his first day as Heeseung's personal assistant, and he couldn't shake the feeling that he was stepping into a lion's den.

He took a deep breath and entered the building, greeted by the cool, air-conditioned breeze and the hustle of employees moving with purpose. The lobby was impressive, with sleek marble floors and modern art adorning the walls. Jungwon felt out of place, like a fish trying to swim upstream.

He spotted Heeseung standing near the reception desk, his usual air of arrogance radiating as he spoke to a couple of staff members. Dressed in a tailored suit, he looked every bit the confident executive, his demeanor commanding respect. When he caught sight of Jungwon, a smirk crossed his face.

"Look who finally decided to show up," Heeseung said, crossing his arms. "You ready to actually work today, or are you just here to soak in the atmosphere?"

Jungwon forced a smile, trying to mask his nervousness. "I'm ready. What do you need me to do?"

Heeseung raised an eyebrow, the smirk widening. "First, let's see if you can keep up. I have a busy day, and I need someone to help manage my schedule. Follow me."

As they walked through the maze of cubicles and glass offices, Jungwon couldn't help but feel the weight of Heeseung's presence. Employees greeted him with nods and smiles, their respect palpable. Jungwon wondered if they knew the Heeseung he did—the one who was arrogant, challenging, and just a bit vulnerable.

"Here's your first task," Heeseung said, stopping outside his office. "I need you to organize my calendar. I've got back-to-back meetings today, and if I miss one, heads will roll."

Jungwon nodded, trying to mask his anxiety. "Okay, I can do that."

Heeseung handed him a tablet loaded with scheduling software. "Make sure to prioritize the important meetings. And remember, I don't tolerate mistakes."

Jungwon took the tablet and began scrolling through the packed calendar. The first meeting was in thirty minutes—a presentation with potential investors. He quickly organized the schedule, marking critical appointments in bold.

"Not bad," Heeseung said, glancing over Jungwon's shoulder. "But don't forget to account for travel time. We can't have you losing track of my time, too."

"Got it," Jungwon replied, his confidence growing slightly. He meticulously adjusted the schedule, making sure every detail was in place.

"Good. Now, come with me to the meeting room," Heeseung commanded, striding ahead. Jungwon hurried to catch up, a flutter of nerves twisting in his stomach.

In the sleek conference room, a group of suited men waited, their expressions serious. Jungwon stood to the side, trying to blend in as Heeseung took charge.

"Thank you for coming," Heeseung began, his tone commanding. "Let's get straight to the point. We're here to discuss the future of this partnership."

As Heeseung presented, Jungwon observed his commanding presence, the way he captivated the room. But he also noticed the way Heeseung occasionally shot him a glance, as if gauging his reactions. The tension in the room was palpable, and Jungwon realized that he needed to prove himself—not just to Heeseung but to everyone watching.

After the meeting, as the men filed out, Heeseung turned to Jungwon. "You did alright keeping track of the time. I didn't have to remind you about the follow-up discussion."

"Thanks," Jungwon replied, feeling a surge of pride. "I think I'm getting the hang of it."

"Don't get too comfortable. The real challenge is just beginning," Heeseung said, his tone returning to its usual arrogance. "I need you to prepare the reports for tomorrow's meeting with the board. It's going to require some late nights."

Jungwon felt a wave of apprehension. "Late nights?"

Heeseung's gaze hardened. "This isn't a charity. If you can't keep up, I'll find someone who can."

Determined not to back down, Jungwon nodded. "I'll manage."

As the day wore on, Jungwon found himself buried under a mountain of tasks. He ran between meetings, organized documents, and coordinated with different departments. The pace was relentless, but he thrived under the pressure, each small victory building his confidence.

By the time evening rolled around, he was exhausted but satisfied. Heeseung's office door opened, and Heeseung stepped out, running a hand through his hair. "You survived the day," he said, a hint of grudging respect in his tone.

 
"Barely," Jungwon replied, laughing lightly. "But I think I'm starting to get the hang of this."

"Just don't let it go to your head," Heeseung warned, but there was a flicker of amusement in his eyes. "You'll need to be sharp if you want to keep this job."

Jungwon nodded, a smile creeping onto his face. "I'm up for the challenge."

As they wrapped up the day, Jungwon felt a sense of accomplishment. He had faced Heeseung's arrogance and the pressure of a corporate environment, and he hadn't backed down. Maybe, just maybe, he could prove himself worthy of this opportunity—and earn a bit of respect from the man who had initially seemed so unapproachable.

With a mix of determination and excitement for what lay ahead, Jungwon stepped out into the evening air, ready to face whatever challenges tomorrow would bring.
