hyunlix - the new manager

(hyunjin x felix)

HYUNJIN :

"Listen up everyone! I'd like to formally welcome our new Product Marketing Manager to our team! Welcome Felix!" Chan, the head of our department, cheerfully says as the modestly sized group of employees burst into applause. The usual hustle that never ended inside of these four walls momentarily came to a halt when we were told about a new recruit to fill in the position after our old manager retired.

"Wow, he's really young for a manager," my co-worker and best friend Changbin says.

"And really hot," my other friend Giselle adds and they both start giggling.

"Where is he? I don't see him," I say, scratching my head in confusion. It's like I was tall for nothing.

"All this height and you still can't see? That's just sad, really," Changbin pokes fun at me. It's not my fault someone with a huge ass head was blocking my line of sight, okay?

"Try asking me to help you reach the Frosties in the top shelf of pantry next time, bitch."

"Come on, it was just a joke!"

"Excuse me, are you Hyunjin?" I feel a poke on my shoulder and I turn around to see who it was.

It was safe to say the world stopped for a moment.

He was ethereal. He had the most beautiful pair of dark hazel eyes I had ever laid my eyes on. Light freckles dusted his cheeks like stars in a cloudless midnight sky. He had long, silky blonde locks that went up to his shoulders, which was tied in a half ponytail. Thin rimmed black spectacles sit atop his head, and I was convinced that if he modeled for an eyewear company, they would sell out faster than iPhones. Jeez, what am I even saying?

"...Hello?" He waves his hands in front of me and I finally snap back to reality.

"I'm so sorry, I zoned out for a moment," I apologize. "That's me, yes."

His lips unexpectedly curve up into a wide smile, making his eyes almost visibly light up. The fact that the sun was shining perfectly through the glass panes and right onto his honey skin was just the cherry on top. He extends his hand to me.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Felix," he says, shaking my hand. "I was told I'd be working with you for the perfume line launch next month."

His voice. HIS VOICE.

"Wow, they put you on a time-bomb project the second you joined? That's just cruel," I say, and he laughs. That was the deepest, richest laugh I had ever heard. I had known him for just two minutes and I was already doubting whether God forgot to put any imperfections in him while making him.

"That's part of the package I guess. Well then, nice meeting you Hyunjin. I look forward to working with you," he pats my arm before leaving to talk to someone else. I turn around, already knowing what kind of expressions Changbin and Giselle would be wearing.

"OH. MY. GOD." I whisper-squeal. They mirror the action. "You were not lying, Gigi." 

"I know right? He's even cuter up close," she says.

"You're both going to be working together very often," Changbin says, wiggling his eyebrows at me with a suggestive look. I punch his arm playfully.

"Spare me from your weird thoughts, I beg you."

The next day, the office was back in full flow. We had the perfume launch coming up in a few weeks, and we weren't even halfway done with it. It was going to be our company's biggest launch till date, so the stress and responsibility of leading such a huge project was definitely there.
