Chained Up - A Jungkook Fanfic

4. Jams and coffee

§ Sae Ron §

"Coffee," he says for the umpteenth time today.

"Not again, Jungkook." I fight the urge to roll my eyes. Aside from planning his schedule and going through a few files for him, that's all I've been doing till now. Making him coffee.

He shoots me a disapproving look. "I need it to keep on working. So, please, do me the favor and make me another cup of coffee. Besides, I'm the boss here. You're supposed to do as I tell you to."

"But you just had it like not even an hour ago. It's not good for your health. If you want, I can help you with your workload. But I don't think you're getting more coffee," I state curtly, crossing my arms over my chest. I'm not going down without a fight.

He lets out a frustrated sigh and drops his head. "Fine then, go home. You're done for the day." He doesn't even look up at me as he says it.

"What about you? When are you retiring?"

"Nah, I'm going to have to stay up late to finish the contract draft for tomorrow's meeting," he says nonchalantly. "That's why I asked you for a coffee. But you being you.....Ugh, just leave it as it is, okay? Just go home."

I see. He's trying to turn this on me now. I walk closer to his desk but he avoids looking at me. "But I said that I can help you, right? I know I'm new and all. But I'm still your assistant for the time being. So, stop being so thick and let me help you."

"You don't understand. I need to do all of this by myself," he says and keeps working, practically ignoring my existence. But I don't budge from my spot whatsoever. And thanks to that, I get what I want when a couple of minutes later, his eyes flash a defeated look. "Fine, I give up. You won't listen to me anyway. Here, take this file and go through every line precisely. If you come across any statement which strikes you with a double meaning or a mistake, bring it to me immediately. Arasso?"

I nod my head as a triumphant smile tugs at my lips. You can't tame me after all, Jeon Jungkookie.

I make my way back to my own desk and start working on the file straight away. It's well past working hours and my body is yearning for a peaceful slumber. But Sora unnie's words ring in my head.

He tends to overwork himself.

Yes, he definitely does. That's pretty clear at the moment.

And that, my eyes, is also the sole reason you need to stay awake and ensure that he doesn't end up working all night.

My thoughts are cut short when I hear his phone ringing- "Just wild and young. I'm just wild and young. Do it just for fun. Hello..." And he picks it up.

One of a kind by Gd oppa. He's still a fanboy at heart, isn't he?

My ears perk up to understand what he's saying to the person on the other end. He sports a sullen expression as he yells on the phone, "Why the heck are you calling me at a time like this?! You know I'm busy."

He goes silent for a second and then continues, annoyance dripping from his tone, "To hell with your jams, Jimin hyung! Why you gotta disturb me just because you can't find a friggin' strawberry jam?! Get a life, hyung!" He hangs up and slams the phone down on his table, muttering incoherent words and probably cursing.

Biting back a laugh, I ask him, "Was that Jimin oppa?"

He gives me a stern look, clearly not in the best of moods. "Don't even call that guy oppa! He's so childish sometimes that I feel like banging my head on the wall. And not to say, his eternal love for strawberry jams. Who in his right mind would call someone to look for jams?!"
