Slowly Loving You Secretly

Chapter 1

I'm really sorry if I made any grammar mistakes. Please forgive me, it's probably because I write it too late at night or was in a rush.

Jieun's pov: 

Finally! It's the first day of work after my graduation examinations. Since it was also almost December, I wanted to save some money to get my older sister some presents since when I was still studying, she was always getting me presents for Christmas and for my birthday.  I had applied for make up departments and wardrobe fashion and I got employed to be a helper for both make up and hairstyling for a group called BTS. I didn't know who or what BTS was until my older sister, Jiseo, told me that they were a kpop group from Bighit entertainment. They are not so famous at that point of time as they just debuted. I was really behind time at that time as I don't usually listen to kpop. I preferred classical musics, they are very soothing and relaxing. They call me down when I'm stressed out with my exams. But after my graduation examinations, I brushed up on my kpop knowledge when I received the employment. I listened to their songs and watched their music videos. I was really impressed with their songs that they produced and all the dance shows that made their legs moved really fast. I really looked forward to work with them.

I headed to Bighit entertainment and went to the counter. Saying with a big smile," Hello my name is Park Jieun. I came here for my first day of work." The lady looked at me then looked back on the list, and replied me with a smile, " Oh Park Jieun. I see your name on the list. Please wait on the chair there and fill in the form while waiting as you arrived earlier than the reporting time and it's not 5 minutes earlier but 15 minutes earlier. I'm sure our boss will like you a lot as he likes people who are punctual." She then ended her words with a smile and looked back down on her desk. I headed to the table where the lady previously mentioned and did the survey quietly.

I finished my survey and looked up at the clock, 12.25p.m.. I still have 5 minutes more. I pulled out my phone and earpiece. Stuffing my earpieces into my ears and filling my brain with different kpop songs which I previously looked up on. I liked the songs made by BigBang, Red Velvet and BTS the most. I closed my eyes and slowly drifted off into a place where all the people were all cheering for BTS and I was at the backstage, busy helping the members with their make ups. Just as I was about to move on with the dream, I felt a light tap on my shoulder. I opened my eyes and saw a guy, wearing a suit standing in front of me. I plugged out my earpieces, stood up and bowed even though I don't know who he was as he gave off a feeling where he was really important. He smiled, picked up my survey and said," What are you here for?" I greeted politely, " Annyeonghasayo, I am here for my first day of work. I got employed to be the make up artist and hairstylist in charge for BTS. I just graduated from Busan Arts school. " I paused for a while for him to look through the survey and soon after, he said, " Oh okay welcome abroad. I am Mr Bang and I hope you will enjoy your time with us, Ms Park Jieun. Follow me and I will show you your station. " I followed him diligently and stopped at a desk. He turned around and    said, " This is your desk. I will ask the people to show you around the company but just to let you know, they will be having a performance later on at 6pm so please try to remember their names. Your soon to be colleagues will test you on your make up skills and hairstyling skills to see how good you are. I have to go now I hope you familiarise yourself here and have fun working with us. " He smiled and headed off. I bowed politely and sat down on my chair. This us your first day at work Park Jieun you have to prove to your colleagues that you are worth this job and that you will do well. Just try to not get any mistakes. Okay so now just try to remember their names.  Soon while I was memorising the members names, a lady approached me. She came to me and said, " Annyeong I'm Kim Jaemin and I was brought here by Mr Bang to show you around the office. What's your name, what did you come here for and how old are you? " I stood up and replied, " I'm Park Jieun, I came here to be a make up artist and hairstylist for BTS and I'm 22 this year. " She looked at me with a shocked face and said, " Oh so you are a 95 liner. I'm 27 this year and I'm the head for make up artist and I hope we can get along well. Do approach me if you need any help. So let's head proceed with the tour around the office. Come this way. " She walked in front of me and led me through the office. I could hear music coming from a room and walked over to see what was happening. I peered through the small window and saw 7 members, dancing to a song. "I guess you were attracted by the song too. This is where BTS comes for their dance practice and it's also where they have fun at. We will be helping them with their make ups later at 6pm. " I nodded my head and saw one of them, looking at me while dancing. Jaemin dragged me away so that she could continue with the tour, because it seems like I could not leave. Time slowly passed by as we continued around the office. We walk back to the desks and I saw many cans of hairspray and make ups on my table, and also a mannequin. Jaemin said, " Oh yeah, so I will test you on both your hairstyling skills and make up skills now as we still have about 3 hours more before the performance. You may begin whenever you are ready. " I picked up the hairspray and started to style the mannequin's hair, followed by the make up. As soon as I was done, I turned around and saw Jaemin nodding her head while looking at the mannequin with a clipboard in her hand. " Wow! You did an impressive job styling and applying make up on the mannequin. I'm impressed for a newbie like you. Since you did such an amazing job, you can relax for the next hour before applying the make up on the members faces. But be sure to remember their names during you 'break'. "  I nodded and replied back with a smile, " Yes, Jaemin. " She left the desk and went to her own room, as she is the in charge,she has her own room. I picked up my phone and called my mom. "Eomma, I succeeded in the 'test' and I will be helping out with he make up and styling of hair layer for their performance! " My mother replied, " Really!  I'm so proud of you, Jieun. I knew you could do it! Hold on Jiseo wants to talk to you. " The next thing I heard was, " Daebak! Unni knew that you could do it Dongsaeng. I'm so proud of you. " I was smiling from eye to eye and just then I looked at the clock I still have 1 hour and 45 minutes left. I needed to remember the members names. "Mianhae unni but I have to hang up now. I have to get back to work. " Jiseo replied back, " Okay. Work hard, okay? Unni will be supporting you. Fighting! " I smiled and hanged up. I memorised slowly "... Jimin... Jungkook... Taehyung... Namjoon... Hoseok... Sukjin... Yoongi..." The names repeated in my head over and over again until I heard Jaemin announcing, " Okay people we have to go and help the members with their make ups now. Let's go! " Everyone in the office stood up and started packing.
