On the House

Chapter Seventeen

The next morning, Yoongi was up early, wanting to get to the company early. He wasn't sure what time Namjoon got to work, but he had been told to be there at 8 AM. At the rate he was going, he'd get there at about 7:45, however.

Yoongi entered the building and headed to the elevators. He'd be meeting with Mr. Seong briefly before he began his day. Butterflies fluttered in his stomach as the elevator stopped on the third floor.

The floor receptionist smiled brightly at him. "Mr. Min?"

Yoongi nodded. "Please, call me Yoongi."

"Yoongi," she corrected herself. "Nice to meet you. I'm Iseul."

"Nice to meet you, as well."

"I'll let Mr. Seong know you're here," she said.

"Thank you."

A few minutes later, Mr. Seong appeared. "Yoongi!" he exclaimed. "Good to see you!"

"You, too, sir."

"Come, let's get some last minute paperwork completed before Namjoon comes to collect you."

Mr. Seong led Yoongi to his office, and Yoongi signed some necessary forms to finalize his employment. After some idle chatting with Mr. Seong, there was a knock at the office's door. Namjoon then peeked his head in.

He grinned at Yoongi before addressing Mr. Seong. "Excuse me, sir. Is Yoongi ready?"

"He is!" Mr. Seong replied. "Have a great first day, Yoongi!"

"Thank you, sir."

Namjoon led Yoongi to the elevators. "Your studio is ready," Namjoon said excitedly. "I can't wait for you to see it!"

Yoongi smiled. "Me either."

They took the elevator to the fourth floor, and Namjoon led Yoongi down the hall. They stopped outside of a simple white door. Namjoon opened it and stepped aside for Yoongi to enter. He did and looked around in awe at all of the equipment.

"Have a seat, take it all in," Namjoon said excitedly. "Now, this studio isn't the greatest in the building, but – "

"But it's mine," Yoongi said quietly.

Namjoon smiled. "Exactly."

Yoongi sat in the rotating office chair and spun around a couple of times. He then stopped in front of the mixing boards and MIDI on the desk. His fingers grazed over all of the switches and knobs. He took a deep breath, then released it with a smile.

"Wow."

Namjoon smiled again. "You like it?"

Yoongi nodded. "This is amazing."

"You won't be assigned any solo projects for probably about a week," Namjoon told him. "You're going to shadow me before that. But don't worry, you'll get to do your own thing soon!"

Yoongi turned to him and smiled. "So, what do we do now?"

"We can go to my studio and you can look over some stuff I've been working on."

Yoongi nodded. "Okay."

Namjoon smiled. "C'mon," he said. "One more elevator ride."

Yoongi followed him, more excitement bubbling up inside. He'd be assisting in projects, starting today. He was borderline giddy.

"So," Namjoon said, making conversation as they headed to his studio. "How did your last shift at the restaurant go?"

"Oh my gosh, you'll never believe what happened!" Yoongi said excitedly. "An idol came in, and I got to serve him."
