Close To You [Jimin x Sheryl] [BTS Fanfic]

Chapter 1 - Inauguration

'Sheryl, isn't it?' The mature and over-womanly voice of the Chairwoman exploded into Sheryl's ears. Sheryl was a new employee at Big Hit Dance Academy. She was employed just recently into the firm, she was selected as the new Salsa teacher and it was her first day at work.

'Yes madam. It's Sheryl.' She replied trying not to sound scared or nervous.

The Chairwoman was continuously staring at Sheryl's file and was not even glancing at her. She found it rude. Suddenly the chairwoman kept the file and looked at her. As their eyes met she became nervous. The chairwoman said,

          'Okay, Ms. Sheryl, Mr. Eric here will escort you to your practice room. Good luck and do your best.'

Sheryl stood up and bowed to show her gratitude.

          'Thank you very much, Mrs Veronica. I'll do my best.'

Mr. Eric showed up from the door and stood there waiting for my arrival. Sheryl immediately walked towards him and they both exited from the Chairwoman's office.

Big Hit Dance Academy was a world class and renowned dance academy. Getting a job here was like a big treasure for anyone, even the students who study and learn here are very talented and handpicked students. Even though Sheryl was nervous, she was very happy that she ended up working for Big Hit.

          'Here you are Ms. Sheryl.' Mr. Eric abruptly stopped in front of a huge door.

She snapped back into reality and glanced at Mr. Eric and then turned to see a huge door. On top of the door a label said 'Salsa Hall'. She immediately turned towards Mr. Eric and bowed,

          'Thank you for escorting me.'

Mr. Eric in return, bowed back and said,

          'Best of luck and welcome to Big Hit Dance Academy.'

He smiled and then left. Sheryl thought that Mr. Eric was a very nice person but her thoughts immediately diverged to the big door in front of her. She slid the door sideways and in she went. A large hall was present with a semi-wooden furnished floor. Two sides of the hall had mirrors as the wall. She was astonished by the size of it. The room was almost the size of two basketball courts combined.

Since it was quite early in the morning, the students hadn't showed up yet. She took a deep breath and cleared her thoughts. This was it. She was exactly where she wanted to be.

[05:00PM]

Sheryl had changed from her track suits into her general clothes. The sun had already gone down and the employees were starting to leave. The students had left long time back. Sheryl turned off the lights of the practice room, locked her office, and finally locked the door of the practice room. She was exhausted but still she felt good. Even though it was the first day of her work, she felt heavily satisfied.

She found herself towards the stairs and when she was about to reach the main exit of the building she heard a male voice,

          'Ms. Sheryl!'

She turned around to look at the source of the voice; it was Mr. Eric from earlier this morning. She managed a smile.

          'Mr. Eric.'

He caught up to her and started walking with her.

          'We can erase the formalities. Just call me Eric. Nice to meet you.' He said.

          'Nice to meet you too and you can call me Sheryl.' She replied.

          'How was your first day?'
