The watch shook vigorously on the lady's wrist. Its small tocks were ticking her off for real because it was a reminder. A reminder that she was late for yet another meeting.

Oh, she knew what her boss's look would be today. A frown with an almost conjoined eyebrow? Probably. He'd most likely look fake - like he always is - but this time a creepy smile would be on his face.

Now, what could she do? It wasn't usually this cluttered in Seoul, there were no taxis anywhere.

She took yet another glance at her wristwatch, her mouth opened slightly. "Shit." It came out. Maybe Lisa could give her a ride, she was near here. Right, Lisa had a car!

She opened her phone excitedly resuming her plan but grimaced when a notification from Instagram popped up. Jisoo forgot Lisa was in Thailand with her Skinny Childhood friend.

A whimper came out from her heart-shaped pouted lips, she's gonna be late at any moment now, after all, there were only 7 minutes left. If she were to walk it now she's sure she'll be mistaken as a marathon goer, and her boss would be even more enraged.

Yet on the very last thread of giving up, she got her memory sparked. Fuckin' Uber existed! Although she vowed to never use it again, the girl was desperate so here goes nothing.

Fingers added every detail needed and a car to her left was already there. A nice silver car rolled up with tinted windows came up before her. The window slowly lowered and a man bought her attention.

"Are you the one who called for an Uber, Miss?" Jisoo's eyes widened as she audibly gave out a small gasped. This was one handsome Uber driver.

She wobbly raised a thumbs up before being signaled to get in the car. Sitting on the comfortable leather seat. Hmm, they seem to be new.

The driver waved at her before chuckling slightly.

Hot.

A pair of sunglasses perched on the top of his high nose was removed and placed on his blue polo. He asked, "Is this your first time using the app, Miss?" The driver wasn't even looking at her but she surely felt his heated stare.

Silently shaking her head a no, "I just stopped using it for a while."

"Hmm, why is that?"

"Since my friend fell in love with her Uber driver." She laughed quietly at the memory of Jennie plain out ogling at the sight of the Uber driver she and Jennie called.

The man chuckled too, "Are they together then?"

Jisoo nodded her head rapidly. Irking out a disgusted expression before expressing her inner thoughts. "Oh my gosh, yes! They literally lick their faces off even when I'm there. Disgusting I tell you."

The car stopped moving at an intersection, giving Jisoo the time to be able to get a look-see around the car. She caught a glimpse of a printed laminated sheet of paper containing a picture of the driver's face and info.

Wow, he looks good even in photos.

"I'd say that is definitely a traumatic experience." The driver, Sehun - as Jisoo read on the sheet - reckoned. Still smiling while both hands held firmly on the steering wheel.

Humming in response.

They stopped talking for a little while. Looking at her watch, there was still 2 minutes left.

"So... what do you do for a living?" Jisoo turned her head to look at him surprised, but Sehun shrugged it off. "Aha, I'm just curious. Don't worry I am definitely not planning on doing something if that's what you're worried about."

She smirked, "Uhh, well I'm a magazine editor."

"Cool, so you like put the pictures and edit the columns and stuff?"

"Something like that."

He continued to ask her random questions on the way there and she continued to answer his questions without breaking a sweat. It wasn't too personal questions anyways, more like goofy things.

"Do you like to sleep alone or have someone with you? I once got the keys to a huge room on a trip with my hyungs but ahh----." He scratched the back of his head. "But I was too scared to sleep on my own so I had to call once of my hyungs."

A small bubbly smile came to her lips at the cute memory he added. Thinking about it for a second, "I guess the former. I've never really slept on my own because I have a dog and whenever my friends or family are with me they like to stay close."

It was to say a VERY fun ride. A joyride maybe? Maybe this is what Jennie felt. Not that she believes in love at first sight or anything - well it wouldn't really be called love, at first sight, would it? She's been looking at him for the whole ride now, that's gotta be like looking at him 7 times right?

"Oh my gosh. Shut itself." She whispered to herself, hitting her cheek slightly. Looking out the window, isn't that their office's door?

"We're here, Miss." Snapping back to reality. Taking out the bills and handing it to Sehun.

She exited the vehicle and saw it zoom down the highway, probably to another user. Jisoo ran down the hall and to her office.

"You're right on time, Miss Kim."

She sighed, taking in deep breaths before releasing an exhausted sigh. Days worth of compiled worksheets will surely break down a few walls for some but it just so happened that Jisoo was one of the few. Taking off her blazer and setting it on her forearm.

She looked around, there were no public vehicles anywhere. Well, what can she do when she left the office at dawn.

Now what were her choices again; Chaeyoung --- who was in Busan for a side trip., her brother Seokjin --- probably asleep., Lisa --- still in Thailand., Cousin Irene --- on her honeymoon., Jennie --- with her boyfriend, Kai was it? The Uber driver. YES Uber, ok good, she's got Uber.

Opening the app and typing in her info. That should do it, Jisoo thought. Checking where the driver was,

"He's just right around the corner." She mumbled, gently fiddling with her bunny clip-on that Jennie gave her.

And on cue, a silver car came up in front of her. "Looks familiar..."

The tinted windows came rolling down and there he was again.

"How you doin' Miss?" He grinned as she held the door open, grinning herself. "Fine, thanks for asking Sehun-ssi."

"Hey, Miss---."

"Jisoo."

He turned to look at the rear mirror before going back to the road. Jisoo ushered him to go on.

"Miss Jisoo, you know when you said that your friend fell in love with her Uber driver?" She knitted her eyebrows and nodded. He remembered that huh? "You know I was kinda thinking,"

"About what?"

"Could you fall in love with YOUR Uber driver?" It piqued her interest but she stopped before pursuing on with red on her glass skin.

He didn't look at her and focused only on his front. He quieted down when he asked, cute.

She chuckled inwardly breaking their made silence, "You know what, I've been thinking the same thing."
