HOUSEKEEPER - JAEHYUN x READER

pouring outside

The morning started off as usual, a lot of yelling. My family has gone through some financial problems, and they always yell at each other throughout the entire day.

It wasn't always like this.

We use to have have fun together, we would laugh together and we were all really close, but after both my parents lost their jobs, all they do is fighting. Since I just turned eighteen, my parents expect me to get a job soon. My two brothers, Baekhyun and Xiumin, do whatever they can to help out our parents.

I could not stand all the arguing anymore, so I decided I should go outside and take a walk. It was a bit cold outside, and I was stupid enough to forget my jacket inside. After a couple of minutes, I could feel raindrops hitting my bare skin. I had already come a far way, and I did not want to go back. I saw a bench in the distance, and I went to sit down even tough it was wet.

As I sat there, I just started thinking about all the things that has happened recently in our family, and I could feel the tears running down my cheeks. As if it could not get any worse, the rain started pouring down like crazy, but I just sat there with my face buried in my cold hands.

"Are you okay? You look cold, it is freezing outside."

I looked up and saw a young man about my age standing in front of me. He was wearing a black coat, his hair was a bit wet from all the rain, but he had an umbrella he held over himself. I tried to answer, but I couldn't. My eyes probably looked puffy and red, my hair was all wet, and I could not manage to get a single word out of my mouth.

"I am so sorry, I didn't introduce myself. I am Kim Namjoon."

His eyes were kind and inviting. Even tough I had never seen him before, you could tell that he was friendly by the way he talked.

"Can I sit down?" he said while pointing at the spot beside me.

Something which was kinda weird considering the bench was soaked in water. I nodded and looked down in embarrassment. As he sat down, he reached out the umbrella and held it over me. I finally encouraged myself to speak.

"I am so sorry I was so rude, I was just having a hard time. I am Y/N"

"Do not apologize Y/N, you look pretty when you cry."

He took of his coat and placed it on my shoulders.

"Won't you freeze?" I said as I was ready to take the coat off, and give it back to him, but he stopped me.

"It is worth freezing for a beautiful lady like you," he said with a smirk and looked down at me.

The moment ended abruptly when my phone started ringing. I pulled it up, and saw that it was Xiumin trying to call me. I didn't't really feel like picking up, but I did.

"Hello, what's up?"

"Where are you, Y/N? You need to come home. It is pouring outside, and you left without nothing but a t-shirt."

I smiled at myself, because Xiumin is always being overprotective.

"Fine, I'll come home now," I said as I hung up.

I looked over and saw Namjoon staring at me, and I felt kind of awkward.

"Thank you for borrowing your coat, but I have to go now," I said as I stood up.

I tried handing him his coat, but he stopped me.

"You can borrow it for now, so I'll have a reason to meet up with you later."

When I was about to leave, I felt a hand grip around my wrist.

"Before you go, can I may have your number?"

I wanted to be nice to him after what he did for me, so I quickly gave him my number, and left.

As I was on my way home, I saw a poster on a brick wall. I started walking to it. The poster said that SM entertainment looked for a housekeeper for a group called NCT - Neo Culture Technology. There was a phone number in the left corner of it, and I called right away without any hesitation. I was in a deep need for a job right now.

"Hello this is Heechul, what can I help you with?"

"Hi, I'm Y/N. I saw your poster, and I am very interested in the job as a housekeeper for NCT."

"I see. I have gotten a lot of calls regarding that job, a lot of people want it as well, so you will have to meet up tomorrow at 3pm at the SM building. For any more information check out our website. Thank you."

He hang up right away, and I continued walking home, with the rain that kept pouring down all day.
