       I took a nervous breath as I stood in front of my full length mirror, I was about to meet my boss. It's strange to think about, but he wasn't at the job interview, they said he was busy but wanted to continue, and I got the job.

       I made sure my hair was brushed just right, not a wrinkle to be found in my clothes and my earrings shined to be bright stars against the night sky of my think black hair. I was only 5 1" so in order not to feel like a midget I wore a pair of black ankle boots.

       This is my first job that I got on my own, no help from my mom, my grandparents or even any of my friends. I'm actually proud of myself for finding a job in the design industry. However, like in most books and TV shows, I have to work my way up to the top. The actual job is an assistant to the top CEO of the company, Jeon Jungkook.

      I haven't done as much research as I should have on Mr. Jungkook, but I didn't have enough time as I was celebrating my mothers birthday. All I really know about Mr. Jungkook is that he is rich as hell, but doesn't donate to charities.. he doesn't seem to have any family either, well at least no significant other or kids. I also cant deny the fact he was extremely hot.

      I did some more research in the car on my way to the office, his allergies, pet peeves, his height and weight, and made a little file to keep with me.

      All I am is an assistant, so I'll probably just be doing his errands, stuff that doesn't even involve any type of design whatsoever. but that's fine, I watched "The Devil Wears Prada" and I don't mind doing ridiculous stuff, it honestly sounds fun to me. I'm actually looking forward to finding out all the crap he will put me though. I wonder how crazy high his expectations are going to be.. I also hope he doesn't have too short of a temper.

     After a taxi trip that lasted only thirty minutes, not giving me too much research time, I gather my paper notes and slip them, and my laptop into my bag. I'm not really sure why I brought my laptop, other than making the research look way more cooler, but I didn't really think this thing through. Oh well, its not that heavy and if I need I should have somewhere to store it safely.

      I look up at the office building that might as well be a skyscraper, and take a deep breath, my anxiety getting to me a little bit. and before I change my mind, I walk in and didn't look back. inside was very nice, black marble floors and a pastel purple grey blend wall color. There were some paintings on the wall, flowers mostly, but my favorite picture in the lobby, and yes I know its weird to already have a favorite picture in the lobby, is the one of an Asian girl with long flowing black hair, holding a small bouquet of violet African lullaby's. she looks out at her audience with big brown eyes that holds so mush detail and wonder in them, they almost seemed real.

      I turn away from the painting and walk over to the front desk, which had another hot man sitting behind the desk, seeming to be inspecting his nails. "Excuse me? hi my name is--"

      "shut it, I know who you are, your Jeon's new assistant, right? I wonder how long you'll last under his tyranny.. I'm honestly surprised Jimin found someone to replace the last so soon. Have you never heard of Jeon? Oh well, too late now, ill give you the tour, he'll expect you to know where everything is, so follow me and listen close.."

      "I-I.. what?.." I knew crazy stuff was going to happen, but almost as soon as I walked into the door? This was a bit much, but there wasn't much else to do but to take a breath and follow the hot guy who works at the front desk.

      He took me to the elevator first, "Jeon likes his coffee pitch black from the coffee shop down the street, if you don't want to be yelled at first thing in the morning I advise you stop there before coming to work.. I'm allergic to coffee so I couldn't be the nice guy and get some for you."

      "That's okay, and thank you for the tip, and I'm sorry to hear your allergic to coffee, I bet a lot of people here drink it.. if you like I can check if they also sell tea? what kind do you like..?"

      "Whoa whoa, slow down there.." He looked a little confused at my little offer of kindness then looked away with a small sheepish smile, "Very sweet but you don't work for me, and I come to work before you do, so it doesn't matter.."

     "No, I really don't mind, im not allergic to coffee but it makes me feel sick, so I drink hot tea in the morning instead, so it really isn't a bother.. Oh! I just realized I don't know your name..?"

      "My name is hard to say for most Americans, so you can just call me by what my friends call me, Tae.."

      "Tae.. I like that name, its cute, but does that make me your friend? And you never told me your favorite type of tea, or at least the type you would like me to see if I can get you.."

      "Too many questions, do you even know what floor are we on? Did you pay attention like I said you should?" Tae quickly changed topics and a shook my head no, blushing softly at how easy it was for me to get carried away. Tae just sighed, "We are on the 24th floor, this is where Mr. Jungkook's office is, I will show you where exactly at the end of the tour, otherwise if he sees you he'll make you get to work.." Tae pressed another button on the elevator and the doors closed in front of them.

      "Alright.. where are we heading to next?" I made sure to remember what button he pushed and kept track, we were heading down to the sixteenth floor.

      "This floor is full of conference rooms, where meetings will be held, you job will most likely to take notes during the meetings. Sometimes you will also be asked to bring in coffee, for everyone, prepare the room for everyone. It shouldn't be to hard if you come in early enough to prepare everything."

      "Alright, so bring in coffee for everyone, set up everything, that doesn't sound so hard..."

      "You will have to research everyone's preferred type or coffee before hand, and if no one will let you know, and because it will most likely be coffee, I cant help you." Tae looked at his watch, "Oh shoot, its almost time for you to meet Mr. Jungkook" He pressed the elevator button to the twenty fourth floor.

      "Does everyone here do the thing you do? Call him by his first name when no one is around?"

      "Once again, too many questions.." Once the door opened to my floor Tae pushed me out of the elevator, "Good luck and don't die, your actually really nice.." The door closed before I could even say thank you, or anything.
