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.

Laughing sweetly at his screen Jongdae locked his apartment door,took off his clothes and went straight to the bathroom to take a bath.
He filled his tub with hot water to warm himself up from the cold October weather outside and let his small body adjust to the new temperature.He sighed in comfort and closed his eyes to dive into the avocado smelling water.
He had a picture of his new boss in his head again.How the serious man looked really handsome in his white button-up with a black tie,shoulders wide and posture seductive.How his wide cute-alike eyes seemed way too dangerous and cold when he would frown his perfectly shaped eyebrows over them.
It all made Jongdae confused but at the same time very entertained.He wanted to meet mr.Kim.To find out what things make him so mad or death serious.What makes him happy or excited.
But it was all an imagination for Jongdae.Mr. Kim is his boss now and Jongdae is just a newcomer that isn't sure if he will even work for long according to his unsure and insecure personality.But he decided to be the best that he can be.To try and win everyone's heart with his well manners and bright personality.
Even mr. Kim Minseok's if he has to.
"We are heeere!",Baekhyun Yelled cheerfully when they walked into Jongdae's apartment.
Chanyeol followed him in the back,hands full of grocery bags which he soon left on Jongdae's dining table.
"Hello!",Jongdae said and went for a hug. He really missed spending time with his best friends so he is happy to see them again and excited to spend some quality time together.
"Thank you so much for this you saved my ass",Jongdae said and took the groceries so he could sort them in his brand new kitchen, "And my fringe"
Chanyeol collapsed on his friend's sofa,with red nose and tired body from caring all the bags up to the fourth floored building with no elevator and his boyfriend not caring any single bag except his designed one.
"We're always here for you,silly",Baekhyun smiled and looked around the place, "Wow,your apartment is really nice.This is much better than the stinky one in your university"
"I know,right?I really like the colors and all...",Jongdae said, putting the food into his refrigerator and keeping some vegetables out that he wanted to cook while Baekhyun looked a bit more around the place.
When he came back to the kitchen,a loud sigh left his puffy lips, "I'm disappointed"
Jongdae turned to him while putting the fruits into a big bowl, "Why?What's wrong?"
"Your bedroom should scream 'erotic'.This is a new apartment in which you'll need a man in the future",Baekhyun explained and took one red apple from the bow before brushing it against his hoodie, "And sadly,I don't even see an 'e' from erotic"
Jongdae raised his brows just when Chanyeol walked into the kitchen and took a seat on the counter, "I don't think it should scream 'erotic'",he said,took an apple from his boyfriend's hand and put it back to its place, "When we first moved into our house Baekhyun said that our bedroom should scream 'erotic',too but now it just screams 'sex dungeon' and I honestly just want my Zootopia sheets back"
"I don't hear your complaints when you're horny mr. Park", Baekhyun said and crossed his hands under his chest, "We didn't even use all the toys that I've spent my money on"
"Okaaay!I get it",Jongdae whined and tried to turn on his stove but it didn't work, "Umm,Yeol come here you know the technology"
"What's wrong?"
"This stove won't turn on,I don't know why",Jongdae said nervously,his stomach already yelling at him for not cooking anything yet.
"It's because you don't have electricity,dummy",Chanyeol said and laughed at his best friend's expression.
"What???Why?"
Baekhyun shrugged, "It's either from the storm outside or it happens when your apartment is new?"
"Yaaah",Jongdae sighed.
"Come on,we can go out and eat",Chanyeol said and grabbed their jackets, "A few burgers will surely be more tasty that the vegetables you planned to cook anyway",he chuckled.
"Wow thanks Yeol",Jongdae said while putting his jacket on and taking his phone, "Let's hurry though,I'll pay"
So when they successfully came to their destination which was obviously a 'Burger railway', (Chanyeol's choice with Chanyeol's car), wet from the rain in with their stomachs whining they entered the restaurant,noses full of sweet scent of meat and fries.
The place looked fancy for a fast food restaurant. Everything was made to almost look like the American restaurants from the 70s or 80s,just a bit more modern: red sofas with white tables and jukebox's on them,waiters on their roller skates,black-and-white pictures on the high beige walls and fans instead of chandeliers.
It is pretty dark, just a few reflectors with colors lightning up the interior so that the place could look like a fast-food-restaurant-discotheque. The music was blasting from the speakers (Usually the songs from 80s but today is a K-pop day), there are also people on the dance floor busting their moves while waiting for their food to arrive.
All three of them took seats where they would usually sit every time they came here,in the center of the room despite Jongdae's whining about how much he hates sitting somewhere where everyone could see and stare at him.
Not long after, cute waitress rode herself to their table while holding a little notebook and a pencil. Her red hair was long and her uniform simple as it was in the 80s, " Hello,what would you like to order?"
"I will take a cheeseburger with extra fries and a cola, please"
"I would like to order this burger special but just without the mayonnaise,I'm going to the gym"
"I will take two double cheeseburgers without cucumbers, big portion of fries with a few onion rings and two chocolate-vanilla milkshakes with cherries on top and a chocolate topping", Baekhyun said with a finger on his lip, "Oh!And your cute little curious eyes if you don't stop staring at my man",he added And took a hold of Chanyeol's bicep on what his boyfriend reacted with a fake laugh and scratched his nape nervously.
The waitress tried to pull off the polite face, bowed and skated away to the kitchen so she could prepare the orders.
"Baek, why did you order so many stuff?",Jongdae laughed and played with a napkin on his plate.
"It's not so easy to get up in the morning, walk the dogs around the block because your boyfriend sleeps like a polar bear in the winter, then come back home and work out, then have a good-morning-sex with, again, a boyfriend who has the libido of a rabbit in the spring and then go shopping for a best friend... Like ,it's hard",Baekhyun said and took the drinks that soon arrived to their table, "Also I want to see that bitch falling with that amount of food on her tray just because she was eyeing my man up and down",he added and followed the said lady who was skating around and serving the customers.
"First of all; stop being so possessive when you know I'm just interested in you and your cute ass", Chanyeol started and Jongdae put the disgusted face on while sipping his milkshake, "Second of all; we were at our house gym and I was literally just lifting the weights and you got turned on and basically jumped on me,I DID NOTHING"
"Okay guys,",Jongdae laughed nervously, "Enough, I really don't want to hear the details because I heard too much over the years"
Which was really true, all three of them are friends ever since kindergarten. They went to the same high school when Chanyeol and Baekhyun started dating (already in the freshman year). They were the 'gay music couple goal' of the school because of their sweet-ew love and amazing talents in spheres of music.
They both finished their music universities with high grades and then got their jobs in one of the best music schools in Seoul for the young talents with bright futures and careers.Baekhyun is working as a vocal teacher and Chanyeol is in charge for teaching the kids how to play all kinds of instruments such as guitar, piano and even drums! They are both really successful and full of love and support towards each other which made Jongdae the happiest friend alive. He wondered if he will find this kind of love in the future or will his life be a bitch forever.
"So tell us about your new job!How was the interview?",Chanyeol asked when he finished with the burger and attacked his fries, "I was once in that bank and it was wow"
Young there was no enjoying his pancakes with your truck and put his fork and knife away, "I got the job right away which didn't surprise me that much because of my two diplomas, but the people there are really either mad or really weird"
"That's a turn off",Baekhyun pouted and put a few fries into his mouth, "So your boss is neither a hot chick nor a hot dick?"
"Actually my boss is really... interesting", Jongdae stopped and thought about him again, "His name is Kim Minseok and he is handsome, but boy is he scary as fuck. He is a millionaire though. He is all 'I'm so hot but I will eat you in one piece if you don't listen to me' kind of man"
"Oooh,a Christian Grey huh?I love it",Baekhyun wiggled his eyebrows and received a kick from his boyfriend.
"Well,then let's hope that he is not a sadist in the bedroom",Jongdae sighed Into his milkshake and the two boys stared at him.
When he started being aware of the weird quietness and looked up at his friends,he was ready to try and defend himself, "Not that I want to know that...I mean-...I don't care I'm just...Nothing,whatever"
Baekhyun shook his head left and right, "I'm so proud of you"
Chanyeol ignored the comment, "And others?"
"Oh,There is the deputy of the CEO, Lee Jihee.She is so mad all the time and Minseok doesn't stand her, and she doesn't stand him either. I don't know why is he still letting her work there when he hates her so much. She is really arrogant and I'm sure that she literally makes guys gay in her free time because of her behavior"
"Then there is Hirai Momo,She is really tall because of her heels and she is really cute and sweet and she was so kind to me I'm so thankful that she's the secretary in the bank. But oh my god I cannot even describe her face when he showed up. It was almost like the ghost got into her and shut her emotions completely she was not the same woman anymore.He is scary",when he finished,Jongdae nodded and sipped from his milkshake again before hearing his name being shouted.
"Kim Jongdae!"
Dark haired male turned around and spotted his new work colleague holding hands with a not so short, god alike faced man "Good looking god himself wide shouldered Hunnie?"
Blonde laughed,his eyes disappearing underneath his eyelids, "You are a fast learner, it will be a pleasure working with you.Say,are they your friends?"
Jongdae smiled and nodded, "Yes,they are Baekhyun and Chanyeol",he said and acted like he was going to throw up with his index finger in front of his mouth, "They are boyfriends"
He received a punch from Baekhyun then smiled, "Baek,Yeol, this is my new work colleague Ooh Sehun"
"Nice to meet you",boys said.
"Cute!",Sehun cooed and turned to the perfection beside him, "This is my friend Kim Jongin"
"Hi",boy smiled and bowed slightly, "Nice to meet you"
Baekhyun smiled back and motioned to the seats beside them, "Do you want to join us?"
Sehun pouted, "We would love to but we are hurrying home,next time we'll hang out for sure",Sehun smiled, "See you tomorrow at work Jongdae!"
Jongdae nodded, "See you"
And with that the two boys were leaving the half dark restaurant,holding hands and discussing about something probably really important according to their facial expressions.
"They have big noses.Y'all know what it means",Baekhyun said and moved his straw inside his milkshake cup.
Chanyeol looked around,thinking "They can breathe bett-"
"Big dicks",Baekhyun nodded seriously, "Big noses never disappoint"
Jongdae rolled his eyes and Chanyeol,instead of acting jealous like he'd always do,touched his nose being insecure in his size.
Jongdae sighed, "I'll go pay this now"
When he he got back, Chanyeol and Baekhyun drove him to his apartment so he could prepare and rest for his first day in the bank tomorrow.
When Jongdae took another warm and relaxing shower that night,he made himself comfortable in his soft sheets,after doing the whole skin care routine and putting a face mask on.He wanted to look extra pretty tomorrow.
When he got bored from the TV that was still on in his bedroom,he decided to take his phone and do his own investigation about his boss. Since Minseok is surely one of the most popular people in Korea,he went through some articles and digital newspapers on the Internet, trying to get to know Minseok's media side better if not his personal one,but he failed as soon as he realized that the man is equally mysterious with the reporters as much as he probably is with his employees and family.
All that he concluded is that Minseok is one extremely handsome man who donates a huge amount of money to children's hospitals,homes and centers for orphans and schools.
Disappointed that he has no investigation skills except for a good taste in picking a boss,he left his phone on a night table and dived into his pillows smiling to himself.
Putting Minseok's weird behavior and character aside,he seemed like a really caring and humane person which Jongdae had to find adorable and even more attractive at the same time.
Even though his work will be really tiring and requiring,Jongdae is looking forward to trying and meeting mysterious Kim Minseok by himself.
He just loved challenges.
