Him |JJK

Chapter 4

I gulped the lump in my throat and entered the room. Glancing across the room, I spotted the boy sitting on a chair at the corner of the room, holding his phone in his hands and his feet were rested upon another chair. 

I stood still in front of him, not knowing how to open up a conversation since I was utterly confused about what he had just said. I glanced at his face and recalled his familiar features. His light brown parted bangs rested upon his forehead, slightly covering his eyebrows.

 I blinked in curiosity as his eyes were completely glued to the phone in front of him. Perhaps it was the peculiar speck of light emitted from his eyes that seem to intrigue me.  

Unexpectedly, he broke the silence. Though his eyes were still glued to his phone screen. 

"Where did you go? Do you know how much you annoyed me?" 

"Uh-" I tried to speak up. 

"My clothes aren't washed and the place is a mess. How are you going to make up the last 2 days you were absent?"

"Uh...A-Annyeonghaseyo...My name's Mi Young..." I managed to speak up. 

He averted his attention and gradually turned to me. 

I bowed slightly. 

"I'm a new employee and I'm assigned to you..." I stated. 

He blinked a few times before immediately getting off his seat and stood in front of me. Awkwardly clearing his throat, he met my gaze. 

"Oh. Annyeonghaseyo... " He smiled at me and bowed at 90 degrees. 

Ok...this is weird...

I returned a faint smile. 

"Wow...it's only been 2 weeks since our last new group of employees came..." He rubbed the back of his neck. 

"Oh... really? Then it looks like you guys are popular..." I laughed a little. 

"H-Huh?" He blinked a couple of times. 

"Well...there is a group of new 'employees' who seem more like fangirls..." I emphasized. 

He laughed a little before clearing up his throat. 

"Um...Mi Young...May I ask how old you are? F-for addressing reasons of course..." He smiled cheerfully at me. 

"20." I answered hesitantly. 

"Oh..." He nodded slowly before speaking up again. "C-Can I call you noona?" He stuttered in shyness.

"Sure. " I faintly smiled at him.

He nodded slightly as he shyly stared at the ground. 

He doesn't seem bad...

~30 minutes later~ 

I stood at the side as I watched all of the new employees surround Jungkook. Covering my ears, I stared at the group of girls who yelling excitedly for a signature or a photo. I smiled a little as I glimpsed Jungkook's flustered face, he was blushing as each girl was clinging onto his arms. 

Still so young...

From the corner of my eyes, I could see a girl walking towards me. 

"Hi...It's Mi Young right?" She stood in front of me. 

"Yea." I smiled at her. 

"You look pretty when you smile..." 

"Huh?" I asked. 

"You know a while ago, some of my friends told me that you look scary..." 

"Really?" 

"Well, I don't think you do... Oh haha my name is In Ha." She grinned cheerfully. 

"Oh! You are the one whose assigned to Jimin right?" I recalled. 

"You remember! I'm so happy!" She held my hand. 

I blinked in surprise. 

"So? What do you think of Jungkook?" She asked. 

"Jungkook? He's...nice..." I answered. 

"You think so...?" She smiled at me.

"Noona!!" The boy ran to me. 

"H-Huh?" 

Jungkook dashed at full speed towards me and hid behind me. Instantly, I looked behind to see him crouching down, his hands on my shoulders. 

"Noona...help me...the girls are trying to pull up my shirt..." He pleaded. 

"W-What?"

I felt a strong tug on my wrist and instantly, I was dragged away by Jungkook. 

"J-Jungkook?!" 

Gasping slightly, I widened my eyes in surprise as I was pulled into a room and into a closet. 

"W-Wait w-what??" 

I felt a hand slightly cover my mouth. 

"Mianhae Noona... shhhh." He whispered. 

Hearing the noises outside, I realized. 

"Kookie!! Where are you!!!" 

"Jungkookie-ah!!!" 

A group of girls ran through various rooms, each looking for the boy. A soon the footsteps were gone, Jungkook exerted a sigh of relief.

"Mianhae Noona for dragging you with me..." He muttered. 

"It's ok." I whispered. 

"Mi Young! Where are you??!" A familiar voice called out.  

I gradually got out of the closet and glimpsed In Ha running towards me. 

"Are you ok?" 

"Yep." I smiled. 

I glimpsed Jungkook gradually getting out of the closet and eventually he stood beside me. 

I turned back to In Ha, but to see her paralyzed. Glancing at her shaking hands, I wanted to ask her what was wrong. Eventually, I realized, her eyes were fixed on Jungkook. 

Confused, I looked up at him. 

To see his lips curve into a smirk.
