chapter 113: butterflies

I knew it.

You
but you're awake too, bujang

kim namjoon bujang-nim
That's different, I have work to do.

You
i have work to do too

kim namjoon bujang-nim
I saw you - you've been preparing
all day for the interview tomorrow.
What you're doing now is not work...

You
i just take pride in my work, that's all.

kim namjoon bujang-nim
You're really that nervous
for the interview tomorrow?

- - -

Hyejin hesitated a little.

- - -

You
yeah

kim namjoon bujang-nim
That's normal... it is your first
solo interview after all. But I
just want to let you know that
if I chose you, you definitely
have more than the skills you
need to ace the interview.

You
thank you, bujang.

kim namjoon bujang-nim
If you weren't good enough, I
wouldn't have picked you. I'd
have picked Hoseok-ssi... or
Chungha-ssi... or one of sunbaes.
But you, Hyejin-ssi... you're
special. You're a gem to this
company. I see a potential in
you to fly really high - even
beyond where Hoseok-ssi is
right now. You know I'm not one
to sugarcoat such things, right?

- - -

Hyejin glanced up at her screen for a while, smiling a little, before looking down at her phone once more.

- - -

You
mm i know.

kim namjoon bujang-nim
I have faith that you'll do well.
Don't be stressed but instead,
go with confidence tomorrow.
All you need right now is a
good night's rest... okay?

You
thank you for your encouragement,
bujang. i'm going to sleep now.

kim namjoon bujang-nim
Fighting, our ace Hyejin-ssi!

With a happy smile on her face, Hyejin turned off the monitor on her desk and went to bed.

"Ya-" Seokjin turned off the television and looked up as Jungkook finally returned home later that night. "It's already 1am, where did you go?"

Jungkook tried to hide his smile. "Nowhere, just to throw some rubbish."

Seokjin's eyes darted towards the bags of garbage near the door. "Really now?"
