Penta Ent. | JungHo ✅

The door opened and Mr. Jo had stepped in. "I see you've met Ten." "Yeah." Ten had slightly bowed to Mr. Jo then left. "Ready?" "Yes." I left my seat and followed behind Mr. Jo. "I'm glad to see you're creating friendships." "Me too."

I felt as if I was back in school for picture day. The pictures were taken and they started to pack up. "Do you need help?" "It's not much." "Are you sure?" "If you're really offering..." She gave me directions on how to pack things up correctly.

"Jungwoo?" "Oh, Mr. Jo! I'm just helping out. It would make things go faster, you know?" My smile faded as his stern look remained. "I apologize...you must have needed me." He shook his head then checked his phone. "I need to get going."

He walked over to me then handed me a phone. "This is your business phone. All important contacts are in it. I left information on your desk about them. I'll also be calling you from this phone. And don't lose it." I nodded then watched as he took off.

"You have a nice boss." I turned back to her then smiled. "I know, and I'm grateful for his kindness." She giggled as she closed her bag. "I've never seen someone as nice as you. Usually people have negative things to say when their bosses aren't around."

"Well, I just started today, so I don't really know him yet. He seems nice so far." She nodded then took the items out of my hands. "Thanks for helping, things went a lot faster." "No problem."

I entered my office and saw a small pile of files on my desk. I picked them then put them in my bag to look at when I get home. My first day had gone well despite how rattled I was earlier today. My phone rang and I was quick to answer.

"Jaehyun! It's been so long!" I felt immediate relief at the sight of his face. "I landed not too long ago and I'm waiting for my ride. I can't wait to see you again." I covered my mouth as I looked away. "You're embarrassing me..." "You still get embarrassed easily huh?"

"Yes..." It had been 2 years since he left Korea for an internship in Australia. I hoped it had did him good and wasn't time wasted. "So, how was the internship...?" He was silent. "Jae?" "It was perfect. I'm just a bit sad." I already knew we'd have to talk in person.

I opened my door and gave Jaehyun a tight bear hug. "I missed you so much." "Me too, Woo." I let go then gave him a serious look. "Don't think I forgot about earlier." He frowned as he walked in. "I accidentally fell in love."

I clapped like a seal then stopped when he still looked glum. "Did you get rejected?" "It's quite the story." "I have time." I sat him down then awaited his story. I actively listened as many emotions were present in his tone and face.

"So, it was nice and all, but I guess I wasn't enough." I rubbed his back as he sighed heavily. "She's missing out. Forget her. It was half a year ago anyway. Find someone new here." "Like you?" I started to laugh, but took notice of his delayed laughter.

"So, what's new with you, Woo?" "Remember when you pressured me into turning in that personal assistant application? Well, I was hired." He blinked then held my hands. "No lie?" I showed him everything. "Bro...you're practically set for life."

We chatted a bit longer before I had to send him off so I could go over the information Mr. Jo had left with me. "You know what'd be crazy?" "What?" "If some crazy love web suddenly came into your life." "We both know how average my life is. Not possible."

We laughed and he finally left. "Love web. As if..." I opened up the first file as I thought on it a bit. He was one of the few who knew my orientation. I shook my head and tried to focus on the information before me.
