SEOKJIN

Looks can be deceiving.

We always hear it. Your outer appearance doesn't show the real you.  It can be the same as your inner self or can be the complete opposite. I guess I am more of the second.

Linda kept on telling me how handsome I look. She was so excited about the time that Mr. Kim will introduce me as his assistant. I am excited too.

"Hello, Linda!" A guy with the cutest bunny smile came. His voice echoed through the wooden interiors of Mr. Kim's outer office. The room where I will be staying until I got married to Mr. Kim.

Well, for now, that would be my goal.

"Hello, Mr. Jeon. Good morning!" Linda greeted the man in a suit. The man is wearing a naughty smile and a flirty look in the eyes.

Mr. Jeon. Mr. Jeon Jungkook.

My eyes landed on his name on the list Ms. Linda gave me just earlier. Mr. Kim is not the only one hot in this building. His friend too.

"So, are you the new assistant of Taehyung?" He leaned over on the table, his hands on the edge, and gave me a smoldering stare.

"I am." I stand up and stretch my arm, giving him my hand for a handshake. I dared to stare back. Never will I back out. Not me. "Nice meeting you Mr. Jeon Jungkook. My name is Kim Seokjin."

He stared at my hand before taking it. I felt his hand tightened around mine a little. If Mr. Kim will be a challenge, this one is certainly the exact opposite. Mr. Jeon is a complete flirt.

"My buddy is really lucky to have such a handsome and hot assistant in you, Seokjin." He smirked. With the way he eyed me, I am convinced that he is indeed a cock-teaser. "I guess I will visit Taehyung a lot more than usual. What do you think Linda?"

Linda laughed. "I don't know if I should feel offended Mr. Jeon. It's as if I am not worth seeing. But yeah, Seokjin is so beautiful. I do wish my son looked like him."

Mr. Jeon wrapped his arms around Linda. They are close by the way Mr. Jeon treats her. "You know that I love you."

Linda just smiled. "I love you too. I will surely miss your naughtiness."

Mr. Jeon fixed his suit and looked at me again. I am bored watching them fool each other. Exchanging good words because Linda is about to go soon. No wonder why Linda called him naughty. Naughty is for kids. For me, Mr. Jeon is a bad boy. And bad boys are sexy.

"See you again later, gorgeous." He winked at me before making his way towards Taehyung's office.

"He's naturally like that." Linda patted my back as if making sure I'm not offended.

I like the challenge. Mr. Jeon is someone you can flirt with. Someone you can call when your body heat is calling for some cooling. One wink, you will end up in bed with him. The typical men who love to woo me.

Mr. Kim looks like someone very loyal. Someone who will not be bent over flirting. No matter how hard you try to catch his attention, he will not entertain it. But I know that deep inside, men like him are only fighting the urge. And that's the challenge. For him to surrender.

"I'm not offended, Ms. Linda. I'm used to men doing that." I smiled at her and her eyes sparkling in admiration. I don't know why she thinks my looks are so special. She's been mentioning it again and again and I think she will do it again.

"For that look, I'm not surprised. You looked so innocent and kind. You're too precious to be treated rudely. But don't worry, Mr. Jeon is completely harmless. I'm sorry if I'm so fond of you. You know, I sometimes regret why I don't have a child. If I only have one, I want him to be as handsome as you. Believe me Seokjin, you're so beautiful."

"Thank you, Ms. Linda. Do you think Mr. Kim will like me?" I asked, catching her reaction. And she looked surprised. "I mean, as an assistant."

She sighs and giggles. "Of course that's what you mean. Who would not like a young beautiful assistant like you? No one. Right?"

She's not wrong at all. Who would not like me? No one. No men would not notice me. Innocent looking but very dangerous. Deceiving, isn't it?

I'm no ordinary soldier. I will never raise the white flag. Never in my mind, that time will come. It will never. I'll make sure Mr. Kim Taehyung will surrender. But only to me.

"How's your first day?" Yoongi, my best friend asked as I sat down beside him in our favorite club. The Hongdae district is the place to be. We love it here. Relaxed mood and less strict unlike in Gangnam.

"Good." I smiled while sipping my glass of martini. Yoongi sneered at me. He knew me well. So well that he can decode my smile.

"So tell me. Your boss is hot, isn't he?" He rests his elbow on the bar counter as he eyed my face. It's so hard to control a smile while thinking of Taehyung.

"He is. But married."

Yoongi laughed. An insulting laugh and I just scoffed.

"Jinnie baby, I know exactly what's running in your fucked up brain. Stop it. Don't make him commit adultery." Yoongi shook his head.

Another sip of Martini made my body heat a little bit more. Like an adrenaline rush. "You know that I like some challenge."

Yoongi shakes his head. "Baby, men are the same. More the married ones. Once you praise them, their ego will be touched and they will grab you like prey. It's as if you haven't been there."

"I haven't. Not with married men. Yet." I shift in my seat to face Yoongi, looking at my reflection from the ice inside my glass. "Am I being unholy?"

Yoongi raised his eyebrow at me. "You're not. Look, forget about it okay? You're just overwhelmed by his presence. If you can't control the urge, quit the job."

Quit the job? "That's ridiculous. You know me. What Seokjin wants, Seokjin gets."

Yoongi laughed again. "Fine. So who is Kim Taehyung? Aside from the fact that he's the man who will transform my best fried to being unholy?"

I smirked at the question. Who is Kim Taehyung? The man of my dreams. I guess that summarized it.
