Chapter 3

—Speaking of the Devil



"Thank you so much!" I tell the man before rushing in but I got stopped when he called me.

"Miss!"

I turn around and saw him removing his helmet. My cheeks turns pink once my eyes landed to his features. Beautiful. Sun kissed skin, tall nose, hair kind of messed up but still look good and his lips—

I stand there watching him in awe. But before I realize what's happening, he already standing in front of me. My heart skip a beat and cheeks turn redder because of this attractive man in front of me.

"Hellooo, are you okay?" He wave his hand in front of my face and that made me snapped back to reality.

"Oh, yeah yeah" I said

"Aren't you giving this back to me?" He tap the helmet that I was still wearing. "I mean, you can keep it if you want" his lips turning into a box-like shape, teeth showing and eyes almost out of sight. Cute.

That moment I wanna bang my head to the nearest wall. "Oh h-here. I'm so sorry" I say to him, trying to remove my helmet.

I struggle again, hands shaking because of nervousness. 'What's up with this man, making me feel this way'

"Here I'll help" he removed the helmet out of my head and chuckled, showing his boxy smile.

"W-what?" I question him, confuse why he's laughing.

He hang the helmet on his motorcycle before stepping forward, close to me. I just watch him as I take a few steps back but I soon stop when I feel his hand on my head.

"Your hair is messy, you look like you just woke up." He said, beginning to comb the strands of my hair with his fingers. I awkwardly laugh and just let him fix my hair.

"There, much better. You can go now" he smile down to me. I nodded a little before bowing, giving thanks for his kindness.

I was about to get myself inside the building but I stopped when he shouted.
"Yah! Wait! What's your name?" His deep voice rings on my ears.

"Ara! Choi Ara!" I said before rushing inside the building.

_____&_____

"Room 7-5. 6th floor." I said to myself while walking through the large hallways, scanning for the room number that I've been assigned to.

Workers everywhere, doing their own business, some are rushing and some are more relax, just drinking their coffee.

I was so busy searching for the room number that I didn't realize I stumble to someone, causing to drop the papers he/she was holding.

"Aish! I just organized those! Who the hell-" he pause when he saw me and neither do I.

"Jungkook?? You work here too?" I said smiling down to the man, excitement fill my body seeing my high school best friend again.

"Yeah, yeah. Why don't you help me first here huh?" He said rolling his eyes.

_____&_____

"See ya around kookie!" I yelled at him across the hallway. He stop walking to look at me, giving me a glare. I giggle in his cuteness before going inside the room I was assigned.

My face turn paler, nervousness filling me up again. Seeing all the eyes on me made me nervous.

"Hi I'm Ara, I'm sorry for being late. You guys must have been heard about me" I bow 90 degrees, embarrassed for being late. The quietness of the room made me more nervous.

Not too long after that, I slowly raise my head only to see them greeting me.

I was taken aback when they all give me a welcoming smile. My heart stop hammering to my chest as I return them a smile.

Girl wearing a sweater and a pair of jeans approach me, holding her hands out for me to shake. "Hey, I'm Jennie, Kim Jennie. Nice to meet you" she smiled, her chubby cheeks showing.

"Oh hello, nice to meet you too. I'm looking forward to work with you." I return a smile. Right after that, she grab my wrist and lead me to a desk, which I assume mine.

"I'm sitting right beside you, so don't hesitate to ask me if you have any questions or if you need help—"

"and oh yeah, later I'm going to show you around the building, but for now let's settle down and prepare for your presentation later." She  said while fixing some files in her desk.

F*ck

"ooOo about that, umm- you see, I kinda got into a accident earlier. And- and my laptop got broken, soo" I said, fiddling with my fingers.

"Whatt?!—" she interrupted me "Ara, your so dead. The CEO is hella strict. One time he fired someone who accidentally spill something in his freakin desk" She added, whispering the last part as if she's scared that someone might hear her.

All I do is huffed, my mind thinking for some ways to solve this problem as I fix the things I brought to my desk. I was about to tell Jennie more about what happen earlier but then she speak before me.

"Speaking of the devil" she said. I look beside me and see her looking to someone. The workers around me begin to stand and bow. Jennie soon did the same thing, her gaze still on the person.

I follow her gaze but I soon regret it when I realize who the person is. My eyes go wide as if it's about to drop.

It's him. HIM.

That bastard.

I remain seated, my fist resting on my lap turned into ball.
