I walked through the doors of the office with extra pep this morning. I usually am like this the mornings Namjoon wakes me up with a quickie before work, but I was extra excited because Yoongi and Jimin were finally back from their honeymoon, and I couldn't wait to hear all about it. I grabbed Namjoon's usual before heading on the elevator, humming to myself. As soon as I dropped the coffee off on Namjoon's desk I dashed back to the elevator, pressing the floor for Jimin's office. As the elevator opened back up, I walked in to see Jimin standing behind his desk, sorting through papers, and Yoongi sitting in the chair across from him. I couldn't help but squeal and run over to him, as he started breaking into the biggest grin.
"It's so good to see you!" he said, wrapping his arms around me and giving me a big hug. Yoongi stood as I gave him a hug as well, his gummy smile brightening up his face.
"It's good to see both of you too! So first things first, I LOVE what you both did with your hair!! And second, you have to tell me all about the honeymoon!" I gushed, looking back and forth between them.
"I will actually let you two get to it. I have so much to do today, so I better get a head start. But we will catch up later." Yoongi smiled at me.
"Glad to have you back!" I replied, as he leaned forward and gave Jimin a quick peck on the lips.
"See you in a bit, babe." Jimin smiled, his face turning pink. As Yoongi left, I couldn't help but giggle seeing Jimin as happy as he was.
"The honeymoon was amazing! Well...we didn't see much outside of our hotel room and the beach, but it was still wonderful. " Jimin said, sitting behind his desk with a contented sigh.
"I'm sure you are not ready to be back yet." I replied, sitting down across from him, crossing my legs.
"No, not really. It was our perfect little bubble, and I don't want it popped. Anyway, how have things been here? Anything new?" he asked, stacking up the many papers and memos left for him while he was away.
"In two weeks? No, not much. Oh, my contract extension is coming up. Namjoon said he has to make some obvious revisions to it, but he does want me to continue working for him." I said, playing with my necklace as I spoke.
"And...is that a....good thing?" he asked tentatively.
"It is, for several reasons. I really can't see myself working away from him, to be honest. We have developed a good relationship in and out of the office, and I feel like our chemistry just clicks. Sometimes I know what he wants me to do before he even says it, and he actually asks my opinion on a lot of things now before making some decisions. Another reason is that my father is....getting much worse. He is having more bad days than good now and I want to make sure that they have every luxury and my mother doesn't have to work at all so she can spend her days with him." I said, trying not to choke up. Jimin looked at me with a sad smile and reached across his desk with an open hand. I leaned forward and took his hand as he squeezed mine gently.
"I'm so sorry, y/n. I can't imagine how painful this must be for you." he said softly, running his thumbs over my knuckles.
"It is, but I am c-coping. I am now a regular patient with Dr. Kwon, so it helps a lot more than I thought it would." I said, swallowing the tears before they could come.
"Oh you have your own sessions now?" he asked, letting go of my hand and adjusting the glasses on his face.
"Yeah. Namjoon and I still go to some together once every couple of weeks, he has his own, but they both thought it would be beneficial to have my own sessions." I replied, sitting back in the chair.
"I'm glad to hear that it is helping you. Oh, wasn't Jaeli's company supposed to finally release a statement about them?" he asked, still sifting through the paperwork. My smile fell slightly as I let out a sigh.
"They keep putting it off for one reason or another. I'm sure she is behind it but nope, we still are in hiding. It is so frustrating. The most public with our affection we were ever able to be was at your wedding." I replied, uncrossing my legs.
"I bet you are frustrated. I am glad that we kept our wedding small and intimate for many reasons, but that was an extra bonus. I'm glad you guys were able to share that time together and were able to act like a real couple." he grinned, looking up from his stack of paperwork.
"It was nice. Your wedding was gorgeous, and turned out perfectly." I smiled. I looked at the clock up on the wall and stood up when I realized what time it was, knowing Namjoon was due any moment now.
"Is this memo still valid?" he asked, holding it up for me to look at.
"Yeah, they are meeting at one o'clock today in the conference room. I will see you then, but I better get my butt up there before he gets here. Glad to have you back, Jimin." I smiled as I handed the memo back to him. I made my way to the elevator and as the door to Namjoon's floor opened, I swallowed to see him standing in front of his desk. He leaned against it, taking a sip of his coffee while looking at me, an amused expression gracing his face. I tried to usually maintain a fairly professional facade at work, but he made it quite difficult sometimes.
"Good morning, Miss Kit. And what are you doing, strolling in here so late?" he asked, his eyebrow raised.
"I was seeing Jimin. He just got back today and I was updating him, making sure he got the memo about today's meeting. But I am not late. How else do you think your coffee got on your desk?" I asked, smirking at him slightly. His face became even more amused as he walked over to me and backed me into the wall next to the elevator doors.
"Mmmm feisty little thing this morning, aren't we?" he asked, his face inches from mine. I swallowed as he barely brushed his lips along my jawline and behind my ear before placing a soft kiss there, making chills spread over my skin.
"What can I say, sir? You lit a fire in me this morning." I grinned, thinking about our morning quickie. He chuckled and backed up, biting his lip. That look still sent my stomach flip-flopping around.
"Sounds like I may need to put that fire out later." he replied, walking back to his desk.
"Yes sir." I replied, sitting behind my desk and trying to let the flushed feeling leave my face. No sooner had I sat down, the elevator doors opened and Seokjin came blustering in.
"Namjoon, how could you!" he asked, marching over to his desk in a huff.
"Seokjin, what seems to be the problem?" Namjoon asked, folding his hands and resting them on his desk.
"What seems to be the problem? Are you serious?! You fired my assistant!! How am I supposed to get new menus together for three different locations if you fire my assistant!" he exclaimed, exasperated.
"Jin, your assistant was stealing from the company. She was claiming to be buying superior, organic ingredients, but then buying vastly inferior products, and pocketing the money. Would you please, take a seat for a moment." Namjoon replied, motioning to the seats.
"I-I'm sorry, I didn't know. I just....I am stressing here, and I don't know what I am going to do without a competent assistant. I can't start from the ground up. I need someone with experience." he groaned, letting out a sigh. I stood and walked over to him, as he seemed to be closing his eyes and trying to calm down.
"Mr. Kim, may I get you anything?" I asked, addressing Seokjin. He looked up at me and gave me a soft smile. He had always been kind during our interactions.
"You know what, some coffee would be great. Thank you, Miss Kit." he replied.
"Iced Americano, two pumps of syrup?" I asked, heading toward the elevator.
"You remembered! Yes, thank you." he responded.
"Would you like another coffee, sir?" I asked, looking at Namjoon with a smile.
"No thank you, Miss Kit." He replied, smiling back.
"She is a great assistant, too bad I can't steal her from you." I heard Seokjin say as I walked to my desk to grab the company credit card.
"That she is, but that is out of the question. Now, about your assistant. I already have it handled. We are hiring a previous assistant to Mr. Min, so no need to worry." I heard Namjoon replying as I got onto the elevator. Before I could get to the lobby, the doors to the elevator opened, and my eyes widened slightly.
"What are you doing here?"
