The Boss and I | Hopekook ( Junghope)

7

On Monday, Hoseok is in great spirits as he walks into Jeon Corp. A smile is on his face all morning, he is very happy.

His colleagues joke: "Hoseok is in a good mood today, did something good happen?"

If he says he is happy from not having to eat pork liver anymore, would that sound silly? Hoseok scratches his chin thoughtfully and says mysteriously. "Good things happen to those who wait."

Happy until noon, Hoseok clears his desk and intends to go with his colleagues to the company's cafeteria for lunch. Hahaha, grilled ribs, I have missed you.

Once the desk is cleaned and he stands up, the phone rings. Hoseok smoothly answers it. It is Solar from the 22nd floor.

Hoseok asks nervously: "Solar, you will not bring me lunch, will you?"

Solar says: "From now on, not anymore."

Hoseok breaths out in relief and says gratefully: "That's good. I'm going to lunch now. I'll invite you out for a meal when you have time." Solar often brings lunch to him so Hoseok and Solar have gotten to know each other.

"All right, we can go shopping this Sunday since I need to buy new clothes." Speaking of food and shopping, Solar becomes excited. Then she adds: "Hoseok, the President told me to stop bringing you lunch, but he wants you to come up here to get it."

Thunderbolt out of the clear blue sky!

Hoseok has been hit by a thunderbolt. He is being burned to a crisp. After a long silence, he hangs onto his last hope: "...... Get what?"

"Lunch."

"Solar ...... you didn't hear wrongly, right?"

"No." Solar answers confidently.

"......"

Hoseok breathes in deeply.

Not enough.

He breathes in deeply again.

Hoseok says courageously: "Solar, can you connect me to the President?"

"Well, hold on, let me check first." After a while, Solar says: "I'm connecting you."

The company's generic waiting music comes on. Hoseok clenches the phone. Although he has met Big Boss two times, this is his first time speaking to him at the company, very nerve-wrecking.

After one minute, the other side answers the phone. Jungkook's deep yet soothing voice is heard: "Hello."

"President, I ...... I'm Hoseok."

"Umm, what is it?"

Hoseok vaguely hears the sound of shuffling papers, guesses Big Boss is working in his office so he quickly makes the long story short: "President, about lunch, Miss Nayeon said ......"

"About lunch." Jungkook interrupts. "Mr. Jung, I think I told my secretary to stop bringing you lunch."

Yes, yes. Hoseok is excited. Big Boss has finally seen the light, he will never give him food anymore, ah ......

"From now on, you have to come up here to get it."

Without waiting for his answer, Big Boss hangs up the phone. On the other end of the phone in the Finance Department on the lower floor, Hoseok freezes into a statue with a phone in his hand.

His colleagues urge: "Hoseok, didn't you say you're going to lunch with us? Are you coming or not?"

"You guys go ahead." Hoseok puts the phone down and smiles back at his colleagues as if in a daze.
