Jongdae walked into the pretty feminine but big office with a view of busy Seoul streets.He walked pass the kindly smiling Momo and bowed to the shorter woman leaned on her work desk, "Hello,mrs. Lee"

Young woman dressed almost the same as Momo (black tight skirt following her curves and a white button-up shirt), took Jongdae's diplomas into her hands and after studying them carefully looked back at him, "Hello mr. Kim,it's nice to see you in person.Momo,you can go"

Young woman bowed politely and while walking out of the office threw a cute wink at Jongdae who replied with a small kitten smile,before looking back at the serious mrs. Lee.

"As you already may know my name is Lee Jihee and I'm the deputy of the main CEO,that tells you everything right?",she raised a brow and put his diplomas on her desk, "Our headquarters told me a lot about you but could you please give me your biography just in case?"

Jongdae couldn't decide if this woman is intimidating or just attractive but he decided to give her everything that she wanted because he was actually quite afraid of her and her actions in general.

He politely handed her his biography and after a few minutes of silence she finally spoke up, "We don't have a lot of people with two diplomas on their shelfs,and your biography isn't that bad either,so I don't have anything else to say rather than that you're hired.But please,like every company in the world this has some rules too and if you don't want to respect them,you can forget that you've even walked into this building",she said and took a cup of coffee into her hands.

Jongdae nodded quickly,still standing with his hands protecting his pelvic region just in case she decides to kick him out of nowhere,because this woman in front of him looks like she's capable of doing all kinds of things, "Of course.I really want this job so I will try my best to respect the rul-"

"There's no 'trying to respect the rules' ",she said and soon left her coffee back on the table, "The real CEO is not a sweetheart and neither am I.That's why I hope that you're as professional as you-"

As she was about to finish her sentence someone broke into her office casually,but still enough roughly that Jongdae's heart skipped a few beats, "Jihee,how many times should I tell you that this is not your job anymore?",deep voice growled and Jongdae just had to turn around,shivers running up his spine.

He watched a black haired man (in a probably very expensive suit) walking angrily to the now even angrier mrs. Lee, "If it isn't my job why aren't you doing it yourself then?You are never even here goddamnit!",she half-yelled and Jongdae was just standing there unable to process what is actually happening.

Is this a guy from the newspapers? No fucking way.

Other man looked at her with a half dead and half furious expression too close to her face, "Control your words,Jihee.This is the last time I'm warning you",he said before switching his gaze to Jongdae and poor guy just had to reflexively step aback to protect himself.

"Mrs. Hirai",man spoke up and the cute woman appeared again,soft smile long forgotten.

"Yes mr. Kim?",she asked.

That's him! The millionaire Kim Minseok! Is this real?

Dark haired male still didn't move his eyes from Jongdae, "Take everything that I need to see from this young man",he said "Now please follow me to my office mr. ?"

Jongdae gulped, "Kim"

"Kim",Minseok nodded and threw the last hateful gaze at mrs. Lee before disappearing from her office and fixing his black tie lazily pressed against his white button-up.Jongdae almost started running after the man and soon Momo followed too,expression cold almost as the atmosphere a few seconds ago.

I'm starting to have second thoughts about all this...

He thought for himself wanting to calm his poor heart from trying to escape the ribcage.

When they entered mr. Kim's office,Jongdae looked around amazed how clean this man is (at least he thinks),and how carefully he picked the wall colors because it all screamed 'luxury' and 'be afraid of me'.

After sitting down on his chair and sighing into his papers,mr. Kim leaned on the chair support and carefully studied Jongdae like mrs. Lee did (maybe even more mysteriously and maybe more focusing on his face).

"Mrs. Hirai you can go,thank you",millionaire said and the woman did as she was told with a small bow.

"So?",he started again after a few moments of unpleasant quietness, "You applied for a work here right?",he took Jongdae's diplomas and looked a bit before looking back again at the orange-jumper dressed man.

"Y-Yes",he nodded and waited to see if he still can talk, "I graduated for a financial auditor so I thought that this bank needs someone with this specialty"

Black haired men nodded, "Even though we have a lot of financial auditors,one more won't hurt right?",he eyed Jongdae up and down, "Why don't you sit down so we could discuss about your employment?"

Employment? Well Jongdae that's why you're here.

Jongdae quickly nodded and sat down, "Y-Yeah,of course.I'm sorry",just when he said those words it seemed like a small smile-smirk escaped his apparently new boss's lips.Or is Jongdae just delusional because it looks like this man across from him has no emotions whatsoever.

Putting his magic and mysterious face aside,mr. Kim's posture was something that caught Jongdae's attention the most.Such elegance with a bit of incertitude,strong and muscular arms noticeable underneath the tight white button-up,and wide shoulders who are screaming 'protection' and 'strength'.

Jongdae came back to reality really quickly as a young man with wide eyes stood up and walked around his table to lean on it in front of blushing newcomer, "I ask for nothing rather than professionalism and good behavior,mr. Jongdae",he said with a low voice and straight face,and mr. Jongdae swallowed hard.

"Mind your own business and concentrate on your job.You will now see where you will work and who will your work colleagues be.They will tell you everything that you need to know",Minseok said and handed Jongdae his diplomas, "You're starting from tomorrow at eight o'clock.Congradulations and welcome to the bank 'Elyxion' "

Jongdae looked and accepted millionaire's hand which was turned to him,ready for the handshake, "Thank you so much",Jongdae looked at now,officially his boss,again and bowed before he rushed out of the intensely red colored office.

Momo was luckily in the lobby waiting for him with a now more warm expression, "Follow me Jongdae"

"Why is he so red in the face?",tall wide shouldered blonde male asked with a soft low voice and pointed at Jongdae.The said man covered his cheeks shyly and turned towards Momo.

"He's probably shy",she shrugged and turned to Jongdae, "Mr. Kim,this is Ooh Sehun and he will be your work colleague,desk mate...Call him whatever you want"

"I prefer 'Good looking god himself wide shouldered Hunnie' ",Sehun shook Jongdae's hand, "But you can call me Sehun I guess"

Jongdae nodded even though he still felt pretty confused, "Nice to meet you,my name is Kim Jongdae...Just call me Jongdae"

"Got it",Sehun nodded, "So you're stuck with me now.Momo said that you're starting from tomorrow so we will start with explanations and rules tomorrow as well.Just please,wear a white button-up and black pants for your work.CEO doesn't like colors like...the one that you're wearing for an example",he pointed and Jongdae looked at himself.

"What's wrong with th-"

"Shhh",Sehun hissed, "Questions tomorrow please.Now go and get yourself a few pair of pants and shirts because you'll need them"

Sassy man said and Jongdae realized there is no reason for him to stay there anymore.The important thing is that he got his job,the rest will be fine.

Or at least it should be fine.



After Momo and him entered the elevator Jongdae got lost in his thoughts which the charismatic woman already noticed so she snapped her long fingers in front of dark haired male's face, "Where did you go?"

"Nowhere I'm just... nervous about working here",he said honestly.

"Why?"

Jongdae shrugged, "CEO...Mr. Kim looks scary and mad",he said and imitated the said guy's face on what Momo giggled, "Even your bubbly mood disappeared so quickly when he showed up,it's like a totally different woman entered your body and took over your face.It was confusing"

The black haired woman looked down at her shiny heels, "Mr. Kim is...he has his reasons for being like that.It is scary and kinda sad but you can't do anything about it.We're all here just to get a good cash since his bank is so 'lit'.Nobody actually cares how he feels because nobody has the courage to ask.If he gets mad it's over for us all.But,despite all that he isn't here quite often so don't be scared"

Jongdae bit his lip and walked out of the elevator, "I really don't want to see the dark side of him",he said "If there is any darker than this one..."

"You'll fully meet him soon,don't worry",she said and pushed the revolving door for her new colleague, "Just don't fall in love or something",she laughed at younger man's surprised face.

"Why would you think that I would-"

"I see the gay ring darling",she said and pushed him slightly so he could finally enter the moving door.

Face heated and orange jumper being too hot for him suddenly,he walked to the train station near the bank and entered the first train that came.He thought a lot about his new work place and people there.About how will his innocent ass survive working for one of the richest and maddest people in Seoul or how will he avoid getting verbally harassed by mrs. Lee.

But his bad thoughts were luckily interrupted by his phone notifications from his best friends,while he was entering his apartment.
