The Not so Ugly Duckling

The Ugly Duckling Meets the Wolf

Youngjae sighed, clutching onto his suitcase closely as he approached the large intimidating, metallic building glittering before him. Jung Corporations. One of the leading developers of medicine, technology, and whatever else this company could get a stock in. Never in his wildest dreams did Youngjae think he would be working here. After all he was a measly researcher that just finished getting his PhD (Memories of his dissertation still haunting him). He didn't ever expect to be within 100 feet of Jung Corporations let alone do his postdoc in one of their research labs. He had to remember to thank Himchan for hooking him up with such a great deal. Well... he guess the older did owe him for all those times he had to drive his hyung's butt home from the bar. Sometimes Youngjae really questioned how Himchan ended up being the head researcher at Jung Corporations with him being such a diva at times.

"Shit!" Youngjae glanced down at his watch, noticing that time had flew and he was late to his first day of work. He blamed the Seoul traffic. Cause seriously, like what the actual hell. Youngjae quickly walked through the pristine, polished building (slowing down every now and then so that people did look at him like a madman). Speaking of mad man, Youngjae quickly spotted himself in one of the extremely well polished windows and grimaced at his appearance. He looked like a potato...not even the nice ones that become french fries. No, he was like the spud that got left behind. His hair was all out of sorts, as if he was attacked by a band of ravage squirrels, large thick glasses covered his doe eyes (though the lenses were not prescription), and he looked like he threw on a Hefty trash bag over his frame. Never in his right mind would he willingly dress like this, but he had to. If he wanted the job anyways. Himchan had one condition of bringing Youngjae into company. An odd condition, but one in which Youngjae had to comply nonetheless.

"Yeeeaaaahhh, so all of this," Himchan leaned back into his chair, pointing his finger at Youngjae and gestured to the younger boy's entire frame. "Gots' to go."

"What?" Youngjae furrowed confused at his hyungs words.

"You're too good-looking right now. We got to ugly you up." Himchan tapped contemplating on how to make the handsome young man before him look like a sack of rocks.

"Why, hyung? You jealous?" Youngjae flashed Himchan a cocky smirk, causing the elder to scoff and roll his eyes.

"As if. You wish you had 1/10 the beauty I have," Himchan scoffed before going back into serious mode. "I'm serious, Youngjae. If you want to do your post-doc at Jung Corporations under my watch then you have to look like roadkill."

"And why is that? Is there rule against having good-looking people in the company?" Youngjae scoffed, rolling his eyes as he ran his fingers through his neatly combed hair.

"Pffft, if that was a rule than I wouldn't be working there," Himchan snorted. "No, it's not that...it's just...trust your hyung, okay? It's for your own good trust me."

"I swear if this is some sort of prank..." Youngjae muttered under his breath as he raced up the stairs, not wanting to take the risk of being even more late by taking the elevator.

"Ah~!" The woman let out one more orgasmic scream before resting her forehead against Daehyun's shoulder. "T-that was amazing~" Her breathy voice fanning the skin of Daehyun's neck as she peeled herself from Daehyun's body.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it." Daehyun smirked, readjusting his pants and placing his belt back on. The woman looked over shoulder as she shimmied her panties back on her form, giving him a sly smile knowing that Daehyun was staring at her butt.

"My husband and I look forward to doing business with you." She smirked, fixing her lipstick and makeup.

"Of course, Jung Corporations looks forward to furthering our partnership with your company," Daehyun leaned forward, flashing the woman her pearly white teeth. "Be sure to tell your husband I said 'hi.'"

"Will do." She winked as she slung her pricey Vincent Camuto purse over her shoulder and exited Daehyun's office.

Daehyun let out a content sigh as he leaned back into his chair, lifting his arms above his head for a nice stretch. He stretched his neck muscles side to side before cracking his knuckles. He always enjoyed early morning sex. It was like having a cup of coffee before work. It's even better when his partner does all the work while he sits and enjoys. He let out a small yawn as he began pulling up the paperwork for the partnership with Solar Flare Entertainments. He thought it would be an interesting idea to have an entertainment industry under the company's belt. Plus his father wouldn't object as long as he received money.

"I see your meeting with CEO Lee's wife went well." Secretary Moon peeked into Daehyun's office, hoping that the man was decent. Fortunately he was.

"Of course, have I ever not pleased a woman? Or man?" Daehyun chuckled as Jongup let out a sigh. "You seemed stressed. I know a great way to get rid of that stress." Daehyun licked his lips eyeing his secretary. Jongup stared at him with a blank face.

"Are you a rabbit or something?" Jongup sighed, not falling for Daehyun's seductive nature. Jongup would admit that his boss was very attractive with his muscular physique, perfectly tan skin, pillowy plush lips, and that darn sexy mole under his eye. But he had known Daehyun since they were kids, his good looks and suave words had no effect on him. Daehyun knew of this of course. He just had a kick teasing the shorter, muscular man.

"Pfft, I'm as cute as one, right?" Daehyun playfully began doing aegyo, his voice jumping up a few octaves.

"Please don't ever do that again or I might have to wash my eyes and ears with bleach." Jongup sighed, rubbing his temples. How Daehyun was the older one, Jongup would never know.

"Ouch that hurts. And I thought we were buddies?" Daehyun mocked pain as he got up from his seat, preparing to head to a meeting with board of directors. It seems they wanted an update on the upcoming projects and his oh so lovely bitch of a step-mother always loved to check up on him. "So what is the plan for today?"

"After the board meeting, you have to go to lunch with the CEO of Infinite Industries, and then you have a webcam meeting with some of the foreign investors. And then we have to go the venue to check if everything is ready for our product announcement party." Jongup flipped through his notebook once more to make sure he didn't miss anything.

"Finished meeting with the foreign investors already, they seemed quite please with our work on upgrading nanotechnology to efficiently repair large scale equipment and computers. They even connected me to some factories that are willing to produce the parts at a fraction of the cost." Daehyun flashed Jongup a cocky smirk, knowing how amazing he was that even Jongup couldn't deny it.

"I don't understand how someone with so much business savvy can be such a man whore..." Jongup scrunched his eyebrows, genuinely confused at how odd the world work to give Daehyun such an incredible business savvy mind, yet gave him a libido that would bring a porn star to shame.

"It's a talent." Daehyun shrugged before chuckling as Jongup scrunched up his face further in deep contemplation as to whether it was really a talent or a curse that Daehyun possessed.

"OOMPH!" Daehyun jumped at the sudden impact as the young man before him stumbled into his arms. "Ack! Jesus Christ, I'm sorry!" Youngjae squealed, realizing that not only was he late, but also bulldozing over people.

Daehyun looked at the young man that was still in his arms, examining his features. He let out a bored huff of air at the sight. "Just watch where you're going." Daehyun grunted, pushing the young man off him. Boooooooorrrrrriiiiinnnngggg. Daehyun didn't have the time to play with ugly things. From the young boy's thick glasses to his rag of a sweater. Everything screamed 'Not fuckable!'

"Uh sorry again!" Youngjae shouted as Daehyun and Jongup walked past him, not even giving a second glance. "Well isn't he an ass..." Youngjae grumbled before running off to meet with Himchan.

"I also don't understand how you get so many clients with that nasty attitude of yours." Jongup sighed, feeling sorry for the young boy they just encountered.

"I'm only nasty to things that I don't find worth my time," Daehyun rolled his eyes. "I can't be nice to everyone, I'm not some damn charity."
