The sun has set, and I could not wait to end the day. I have a slight obstacle to overcome before I could go home, get into my jammies after a long hot bath, and jump into my one and only bed.

I'm entirely focused on finishing up a new graphic image for a social media campaign that will be launching in 2 weeks. Getting into the groove and losing track of time, I see a new notification pop up on my screen. I clicked open the email, and it was Jungkook.

"Hey Y/N,

I've been at the lobby for 30 mins now. Are you still there?

JK"

I looked at the time, and it was already 7:30 PM. I stood up and looked around at the cubicles surrounding my desk. Oh shit! Everyone went home, and I was the only one left in the office.

I quickly respond to his email.

"Oh my gosh, Jungkook! Sorry, I lost track of time!

I am on my way down!

Y/N"

I shut off my computer and grabbed my bag, running as fast as I could in my heels and tight skirt. Almost tripping over, I reached the elevators and repeatedly pushed the down button until one of the three doors opened. Hopping in, I clicked on floor L and waited for my doom. Of course, I would be late to meet the chairman's son. This is not a great start.

I finally reached the lobby, and Jungkook was sitting on one of the couches in front of the receptionist. His elbow is on edge and head laying on his hand, looking bored out of his mind.

I call out his name, and he quickly straightens up his back. I notice his thick arms flexing through his leather jacket, probably from the shock.

"I am so sorry that I'm late! I didn't realize it was time to go home." I lowered my head in shame, hoping that he could forgive me because I am not financially ready to get the ax any time soon. I felt a hand on my head, and I looked up to see Jungkook chuckling at me. I frowned. "Wh-what?"

"Don't worry about it! I love that you're so hardworking." His eyes turned into crescents, and he flashed his bunny teeth at me while messing up my hair.

"H-hey! Don't do that!" I swat his hand away from my head to prevent even more damage.

"So are you ok with going to Le Papillon?" He asked me as we started walking.

I stopped walking. Le Papillon? Wasn't that a Michelin Star Frech restaurant? Why would he want to take me there? Only rich celebrities eat there. Not a nobody like me.

"Le Papillon? I think we should go to the ddeok shop down the road. It's a lot more affordable, and they have great portions!" I suggested.

He turns around to look at me and starts laughing again. "It's fine, and dinner is on me, remember? I've wanted to try this place since I've come back to Korea. Just accompany me, ok neighbor?"

He took my hand and dragged me out the entrance, and someone was waiting for us in front of a Bently with corresponding car keys dangling from his fingers. Jungkook swiftly took the keys out of the man's hand and unlocked the car door. He gestured for me to get into the passenger seat and closed the door after I went in confusingly. Didn't he bus to work today? Where did this car come from?
