The nanny• Kim Namjoon

chapter 62

“fuck fuck fuck” namjoon cursed in frustration and started pulling his well styled hair, “this cant be happening! Fuck!” he cursed in despair. He couldn’t find the flash drive that had the presentation on it and today was the day it needed to be presented, his guest, the owners of the company that he Is supposed to collaborate with for the iPhone 11 was coming today and he cannot find the most important piece of the collaboration.

He was damn near tears, feeling as if this was the end of his career, everything he worked so hard for was just gonna end like this, this collaboration was his company’s big break, though they’ve done incredible work over the years, this would be the work to solidify their name in the tech world and he couldn’t find the stupid flash drive.

His study was basically turned upside down since that was the last place where he remembered using the usb device. Papers scattered everywhere and he even broke his new coffee machine in the process. Namjoon felt as if he could’ve snapped his laptop in half too. His expensive suit had wrinkles on it and at this point he wanted to cancel everything.

“are you done acting like a baby?” Diana was leaning on the door frame with a playful smile while holding the usb device up in the air. He widens his eyes as A wave of relief drowns him and he relaxed his body, he wiped his tears quickly then walked over to her, “where was it?” he asked through gritted teeth and snatched it from her.

“It was on the floor of your bedroom and the least you could’ve said was thank you” Diana grumbled. He finally let out a shaky breath of pure relief when it all sunk in that he was ready and everything else was ready and there was nothing that could mess this up and if Diana hadn’t found the usb then none of this would be possible –“I’m so happy that I could kiss you” he gushed then cupped her cheeks.

Diana widen her eyes and before she could utter a syllable, she felt his lips on hers. He pecked her gently but loudly then pulled away when he realised what he had done and stopped himself from apologizing when he saw that Diana had her lips pouted and eyes closed as if she wanted more so he gave her more by pecking her lips again but Diana gently pushed him away before they started kissing for real.

She left his study immediately, without making eye contact with him. Though namjoon wanted to dwell on the negative side of things he was too fucking happy right now, his confidence was through the roof and everything was right were its supposed to be.

Time skip

the guests have arrived and were waiting in the living for namjoon while sipping on the finest wine he had in his cellar.

The said man stood in the mirror while Diana fixed his tie for him, they hadn’t been able to make proper eye contact after namjoon kissed her earlier and he noticed how it was taking longer than usual for her to fix his tie since she was fumbling.

Namjoon looked calm on the outside but he was panicking on the inside. He allowed his emotions to overwhelm him and push to do something that he’s been wanting to do for a while now. “I’m sorry about earlier” he murmured and Diana hummed, not bothering to meet his eyes, she had too much on her mind.

“I mean it, my emotions got the best of me” he continued, she looked up at him, “its alright” she muttered before walking away. The truth is Diana felt like she was dying on the inside.

She was torn, feeling heavy. There was no doubt that namjoon felt something for her and she knew that she couldn’t entertain his feelings because she had something going on with his ‘wife’ plus the secret she held is going to tear everything apart and as much as she wanted to enjoy every moment before it all went down, she couldn’t because It would make everything more complicated, what if she starts liking namjoon too?

She walked into the kitchen to finish the fruit bowl that namjoon told her to prepare for the guest, he also told her not to look them in the eye while serving them since it was basic manners. She placed the glass bowl in a tray along with two small plates and two forks.

She walked into the living room with her eyes fixed on the tray, feeling awkward. She heard the voices of the quests as they were speaking quietly amongst themselves and leant it was man and a woman.

Suddenly they stopped speaking, seemingly to acknowledge her presence, Diana knew that they were staring her down and even though namjoon told her that it was basic manners to not make eye contact with them, she couldn’t help it so she looked up and immediately regretted it.

She was met with the curious eyes of her father.

It was as if everything suddenly happened in slow motion

“Diana?” her father asked, unsure if the little girl who cried for everything has grown into a beautiful young lady who is in another country, working as a goddamn maid. The little ounce of happiness he felt from seeing his daughter after all these years quickly vanished and was replaced with disgust and disappointment.

 “d-daddy” she stuttered, feeling her heart plummet and her eyes becoming blurry with tears then the tray suddenly felt heavy and slipped out her hand, breaky the glass bowl as it encountered the floor.

Upon hearing the sound of glass breaking, namjoon came running into the living room but stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Diana and Mr king staring at each other. He looked at Mrs king and that’s when he realised the striking resemblance, how could he not know this?

Diana has never felt more weak, fearful and triggered in her whole life. She began crying and visibly trembling. “don’t call me that” Mr king snapped, the words felt like venom, making Diana feel even more weak, “this is what you’ve been doing for the past 8 years huh? Cleaning the floors and cooking for rich people?” her father snapped and she nearly flinched after every word he said.

He began walking towards her and Diana wanted to scream but nothing came out, she felt like she was suffocating, suddenly forgetting how to breathe, she knew that she was going to faint. “you’re a disgrace to this name! you left everything behind to have nothing! No child of mine should be a maid!” he roared, earning chocked sobs from Diana as the hot tears came out rapidly, making her eyes burn and her mother just stood there, watching like she always did.

 “shut up!” Mr king ordered reluctantly, he wanted nothing more than to hold his daughter, just one more time but his pride was getting the best of him and this is when he realised that he was losing everything, his children, his business but he’d always have a good for nothing wife.

 Diana began sobbing louder, her shoulders shook as she sobs and snot ran out her nose, “I said to shut up!” the man shouted frustratingly then strikes Diana with a harsh clap across her cheek, one of his rings scraping her and making her cheek bleed immediately.

Namjoon decided that he’s seen enough and that his tears began to fall, rushed to scene when he saw Mr king’s raised  his hand to hit her again and pulled Diana by his side, “how dear you get into a family affair Mr Kim? With all due respect this has nothing to do with you” Mr king spat and harshly pulled Diana away from namjoon.
