"Are you nervous?"
"Psssht, no" A flat out lie, obvious by the crack in your voice and clearing of your throat.
"Hey, look at me," Jimin turned his body to face you, moving your chin gently to look at him, "you're gonna do fine. I'll be with you the whole day"
You took a breath in, "Ok. I'm ready"
~
Your heels clicked in your ears against the floor with every step you took behind Jimin. When you entered, a few times, people looked at you and proceeded to whisper to their workmates, confusion and curiosity plastered on their faces. This made you uncomfortable, and even more on edge than you already were.
You just took a deep breath, clutched your bag even tighter, and continued walking.
"Is she new?"
"Even if she is, why is she going with Mr Park?" Were the last hushed sentences you managed to pick up before you were led into the familiar hallway leading to Jimins office.
"You okay?" Jimin turned to you once again as his keys fit into the lock of the door and you nodded in response, though still unsure.
"Ok. Come on in" he said, pushing the door for you, allowing you to enter first and view his clean, spacious office again.
You stood in the middle of the room, staring around as Jimin had shut the door and made his way to his desk.
He chuckled, "I remember the first time you were here"
"W-what?" You stuttered, interrupted from your daze.
"Do you recall, "ahem, let's get an annulment. U-under the reason of-"
"OkAY!" You quickly said, raising your eyebrows in bitter humour before he finished that sentence.
He laughed once more and told you to sit down opposite him, and you did.
"Hey, what did you do with that paper anyway?" You asked, straightening out your skirt.
"Oh, don't worry, I shredded it up" he swatted his hand.
"You did? When?"
"Just before we left for the business trip"
"How come?" You eyed him, sceptical, as your 'relationship' had not bloomed before that business trip.
"Well, first off, I hadn't signed it. And secondly, we would have needed to fill in the nullify petition together, and make negotiations over the money. Since we didn't say anything about the annulment after that day, and since I had..started to..ahem..like you, I figured we should shred it up because it was a meaningless document" he shrugged, a nervous smile on his face.
The corner of your brow was raised in hilarity at this rare but cute shy side of Jimin "You're adorable"
"Hey, I'm your boss. You don't call me adorable," he pointed strictly, offended.
"Actually, speaking of boss, let's go over some ground rules," he cleared his throat, "Number 1, you don't call me Jimin, Jiminie or pabo. You call me Mr Park"
"Mr Park?" you questioned.
"Yes, Y/n, what is it?" He joked.
You narrowed your eyes playfully at him.
"Number 2," he continued with that sly smirk slowly taking off from face, "you can come into my office whenever you like. We're going to get you an Id soon anyway so that the guards will let you in without trouble"
"Guards?"
"Yeah, the guys that always stand outside"
"Hm" you hummed in response, recalling the shady, mute men always protecting the higher class workers.
"Ok, now that we've covered all the basics, let me tell you your first task for today"
"My first task? But, I don't even know my way around here at all" you scoffed a chuckle.
"Oh yeah, well, my first task today is to give you a tour!" He stood up excitedly.
You chuckled, "on your command tour leader"
~
"And this is the catering area" Jimins arm pointed out to the large - large being an understatement - area where many tables and chairs were arranged neatly and people sat, occupying almost all of them.
"It's huge!"
Jimin hummed, "Hey, are you hungry?"
"Yeah, a little"
"Good, because it looks like our tour guide has also got an empty stomach that needs to be filled"
You chuckled, "let's eat then"
You two headed forward into the dining area and though you gained some curious glances yet again, you paid no attention to them as your eyes were glued onto the array of food out. At the back wall where you stood was a buffet of all kinds of meals packaged up, and there was a salad bar.
Though you had been here before, actually getting food for yourself seemed like a new adventure.
"What's that smile for?" Jimin grinned, humoured by your joyful expression as you finalised your choice with freshly cooked pasta.
"Hm? Oh, nothing I guess I'm just excited"
He surpassed a short, cute laugh and picked up his own meal of ramen. "Ok, we have to go and pay over there. Cmon"
"This is so cool" you muttered under your breath, following behind Jimin.
~
During lunch, Jimin informed you of your duties, timings and so forth in more detail.
You understood that being his personal assistant entailed you to be present when needed and on time to work - even though you two would usually leave for work at the same time, you found out everybody could grab lunch whenever they wanted so you had to be back at his office promptly - and perform tasks like filing documents, going over the days activities, giving him his coffee and sweet kiss for good luck - which was mandatory, as Jimin had stressed.
At first, when you were worrying over which road of job to take, you thought you were going to be heaved with work loads day by day, but apparently that isn't true - at least for now - seeing as it is your first day here.
With all this information, you started to feel content with your choice now and didn't fear the worry of your inapplicability for the business field.
Yet.

"So, if you could just photocopy this document, then work is finally over and we can go home"
"Yes, Mr Park"
He looked up at you, a smirk drawn mischievously across his face.
"What?" You narrowed your eyes at him at his odd, sly look.
"Hm? Oh, uh nothing" he shook his head and picked up a pen, staring down at the paper on the table, a smirk still clearly drawn on his face.
You hummed, unconvinced, "alright"
-
You had arrived at the printer, and was found to be waiting in no line.
It was quite late, 8:30, seeing as most of the day was taken up showing you around, so you would be confused if many people were still here.
But, while arriving at the printer, you faced hindrance as you stared at the many buttons, figuring out which one to actually press to simply photocopy something.
Just then you heard a voice, "Y/n?"
Turning around with shock, you calmed down seeing who it was, "JiHyun?"
He hesitated for a moment, obviously dubious at your presence with the way his eyebrows crashed inwards, before realisation came upon his face, "ahh, yes. It's your first day here isn't it?"
"Yeah, how did you know?"
"Jimin proposed the idea about 2 days ago to me and the fathers. And he told us this morning that you joined by text due to the short time"
"So that's why he was on his phone.." your voice trailed off, nodding.
JiHyun smiled, then pointed to the paper in your hands, "you need some help?"
"Oh, yeah..ehe" you smiled awkwardly at your inability to work a printer.
He smirked, "it's okay. Here," he manoeuvred himself next to you, in front of the printer, "you've already put the paper in right?"
You nodded.
"Ok, so you just enter your code and press this," the printer kickstarted with a running machine sound, jump-scaring you a little, "you wouldn't have even been able to do this unless you've been given your code already"
"I haven't. Why do we have a code anyway?"
"We are limited to the amount of paper we can print. You need to be money efficient any way you can" he shrugged.
You hummed in response and the paper flew out, landing on the tray allocated for newly printed paper.
"Here you go" he passed you the warm paper and you thanked him in return.
"You know your way back right?" He asked with humour laced in his voice.
"Yeah, I do."
"Ok, good. Wouldn't want you getting lost on your first day"
"You just might've jinxed that."
He chuckled, "I'll see you round Y/n."
"Yeah, see you"
He put his hands in his pocket, and started his way to the elevator, walking in the same way his brother does - proud and confident. "Oh, and Y/n?" He turned round to face you still at the printer.
"Yeah?"
"It's nice that you're working here now. I hope you like it here and choose to stay" he gave a soft, genuine smile.
The corner of your lips turned up while your eyebrows turned slightly inwards, "Thanks JiHyun"
He nodded once and took that as his final leave.
You might actually want to work here forever.
