HOUSEKEEPER - JAEHYUN x READER

SM entertainment

I looked at my reflection in the mirror before I had to leave for my interview. I wore a blue dress, and I had my hair up in a ponytail. I didn't really have time to change into new clothes, so I just had to work with what I had put on.

"Y/N! hurry up, you're going to be late!"

I heard Baekhyun shouting from downstairs. Baekhyun and his friend, Jackson, agreed to drive me to the interview, since I didn't have my own car.

¨¨¨

I sat in the backseat of the car, nervously playing with my fingers. I had never been to a job interview before, and I really needed this job.

"Y/N, don't be so nervous, it's just an interview."

Jackson said while he was looking at me from the front seat.

"This is not just an interview! If I don't get this job, nothing will get back to what it was before. When we didn't have to worry about how much money we spent, and we could eat a meal together without anyone yelling and screaming at each other."

"I am sorry, I didn't mean it like that." Jackson said with an apologetic look.

"Y/N, you don't need to to worry about it so much, you are still very young. Me an Xiumin will take care of it."

Baekhyun looked at me through the mirror in the car, they really wanted me to relax a bit more, but I was too nervous.

"Our parents still needs all of the help they can get"

I said, and none of us talked so much for the rest of the ride.

¨¨¨

Suddenly, we appeared in front of a huge building. We quickly said our goodbyes, and I stepped out of the car. I stood there a few seconds trying to calm myself down, before heading in. The inside was filled with people, well...mostly girls. I decided to sit beside a girl, who seemed a bit more relaxed than the other 'fangirls'here.

"Do you mind if I sit here?"

The girl looked up at me and flashed a big smile.

"Hello! Just take a seat."

"I am Y/N by the way, it's nice to meet you," I introduced myself trying to not sound to nervous.

The girl introduced herself as Kim Jisoo, and we started talking about life and what not. She was very pretty. She had long, straight hair with bangs and she was wearing a white silk top. She was also very outgoing and kind. After a while, you could see that there were starting to be less people in the huge waiting room than before. Suddenly the speaker called up my name, and instructed me to go to the office I was suppose to have the interview.

"Good luck, Y/N!"

Jisoo said as she started to pat my shoulder. I mouthed a thank you, and hurried to the door in the end of the corridor.

¨¨¨

I nervously started knocking on the door, and quickly after, the door opened. A man opened up the door and greeted me with a smile. We immediately shook hands, and he told me his name was Park Jeong-su, but told me to call him Leeteuk.

He told me to take a seat in the chair on the other side of his desk, and so I did. Beside Leeteuk, sat a guy with flaming red hair. I did not know why, but I got a strange feeling that I had seen him before. I did not come to think more of it, he was a celebrity after all.

"This is Taeyong, NCT's leader. He will stay here throughout the meeting to help determined if you get the job or not."

I simply nodded. My hands were shaking, but I tried my best to hide them.

"So tell us a little bit about yourself, why do you want this job?"

I took a deep breath before I started speaking.

"Um.. okay, my name is Y/N. I am eighteen years old, and I live here in Seoul. I want this job because I need the money, and I think this is a perfect job for me. I often clean and make food at home, and when my niece and nephew were a little younger I often babysat them."

The interview kept going, it went really good actually. I wasn't that nervous when I sat there, and I managed to talk a lot about myself and why I wanted the job. Throughout the interview, I realized that Taeyong was staring at me without really saying anything. He also smiled to me each and every time I looked over at him. It felt a bit weird, but I tried to just focus on Leeteuk and get the interview as good as possible.

"Thank you, Y/N. We will contact you in a few days If you get the job. Just so you know if you haven't heard it already, if you get the job, you'll have to stay in their dorm for a long time. A separate room, food, holidays and other needs will be taken care off, of course. That is why the job is very well paying"

Leeteuk said with a smile on his face, and stood up so he could follow me to the door. I also stood up and smiled gently to both of them before saying goodbye.

¨¨¨

As I hurried out of the building, I accidentally ran into someones back. I had no idea who it was, but I quickly got up, and bowed an apology.

"Ah, I'm so sorry, I didn't watch where I was going, and - "

I was cut off by a soft chuckle, as I looked up at the mysterious persons face.

"It's okay Y/N, don't worry about it."

Jisoo smiled at me, while I got kind of awkward. I'm not really good at these situations, even though it seems like I get myself into them all the time now.

"So, how did the interview go?"

She asked a pretty simple question, but it was pretty hard to answer.

"Uh, well, umh - " I stuttered, trying to find the right words to use, or even just some word in general would be great.

"It went okay, I think. I actually think I have a pretty good chance in getting the job, but I'm not really sure."

I tried to not sound too cocky, but not too self conscious. That wasn't very easy either. I guess I just didn't want to screw it up. Did not want to loose an opportunity to get a new friend.

Jisoo nodded, listening to my stuttering, and asked:

"I bet you will get the job, but why do you want it? I mean, there is a lot of other jobs that would be easier I guess."

That question shakes me up every time. I hated to think about my parents, and how they would always fight. It's not easy knowing that pretty much everything is going downhill. There is not much I could do about it either, except for trying to get this job. Maybe it can help save my family, maybe not. At least I could get well paid, for being a housekeeper at least.

I guess she saw the emotions in my eyes, so she just shook off the question.

"Well anyways, I have to go now. Can you maybe give me your number, so we can hang out sometime?"

I just nodded and gave her my phone. I looked around awkwardly, again, as she dialed her number in my contact list. She quickly waved a goodbye after she handed me my phone back, and left.

I just stood dumbfounded, when I suddenly heard a car beep beside me. I turned my head around, and saw Xiumin looking at me from the drivers seat. I just went in the black car, before we drove away from the huge SM building.

I really hope I get this job, but I could not take my mind off Taeyong. His named sounded so familiar, his looks reminded me of something in my way past, that I just can't remember, and God it frustrates me.
