Our Fate

In A Bad Mood Right Now

“Kim Yerim.” He heard Yerim’s voice. Jungkook was holding a pen and he paused for a second. He raised his head to look at her. Both his eyes and his expression did not show a trace of warmth.

Kim Yerim nodded. “President, it’s me.”

Why was he looking at her like that?

Jungkook stared at Yerim for a long time in silence. Suddenly he said, “I want coffee. Black coffee without sugar.”

All he wanted was a cup of coffee after staring at her for a whole day. And he even had such a look in his eyes, he’s insane!
Yerim cursed Third Master Jeon in her heart, but she nodded in response. “Sure thing.”

The morning passed by peacefully and the telephone on her desk didn’t ring at all.

Her colleagues left the office for lunch one after another. Kim Yerim glanced at the time—it was 11:40 a.m.

She turned her head around to look at Jungkook’s office with her eyebrows knitted.Where was this guy these past two days? He shut himself in his office and didn’t look for her the whole morning. This behavior is unusual.

She was lost in thought when jungkook's  office door suddenly opened. Jungkook's tall and seemingly aloof figure appeared in sight.

She hurriedly retracted her gaze and pretended to be busy by perusing a random document on her desk.

Jeon Jungkook shot a glance at her. “Kim Yerim, why haven’t you bought lunch yet?”
Everyone had gone out for lunch and they were the only ones left in the vast office. The atmosphere seemed to be extra chilly.

“President, what would you like to eat? I’ll buy the food now.” Yerim got up hastily and closed the documents in her hand. She looked at Jungkook  with a professional smile that she’d learned from an etiquette class.
Her instincts were telling her that Third Master Jeon had most likely been provoked by something in the past two days when he disappeared. She had best tread carefully around him.

Jeon Jungkook's expression abruptly became a few shades darker. He said in a low tone, “Since you’ve forgotten about lunchtime, then don’t eat lunch today.”
He finished his sentence, spun around coldly and re-entered his office.

Lunchtime…

Tsk. It’s only 11:45 a.m. Lunchtime just started, alright?

Kim Yerim raised her hand and looked at her watch. “It’s only 11:45 a.m. now.”

She felt the urge to remove her watch and dash into his office, then hurl the watch at his face so that he could look at the time properly.She sat down, fuming with anger. Her stomach growled at this unfortunate timing.

The board in front had Post-it notes pasted on it. One of the Post-it notes had the numbers for food deliveries. She held her cell phone in her hand.

She hesitated for a period of time before putting her cell phone down again.

“It’s just a meal that I’m going to skip.” Yerim turned her head in the direction of Third Master Jeon’s office and expressed her displeasure. “Hmph.”

If you as a man can tolerate skipping a meal, surely I as a woman can do that too?

She tried to bury herself with work so that her hands and brain were simultaneously busy. In that way, she wouldn’t focus on her hunger.

The telephone finally rang after almost a day. Yerim was categorizing a pile of documents and she didn’t look at the extension number. She reached for the receiver and answered with a ‘Hello’. Her eyes were still fixed on her pile of work.
