《Mr. Boss | ✓》XXVII
Advertisement
You have been looking at yourself in the mirror for the past 30 minutes. Twisting and turning in place to get a better look. Scrutinizing the reflection of the girl dresses in the beautiful peach A-Line dress, hair in an updo and make up refreshingly natural you almost don't recognise her.
You've never been insecure about the way you looked before because you were always comfortable in your own skin. But "pretty" was never a word you would have used to describe yourself.
You look at the old clock on the wall.. 6:45.
Where is Sunghyun?
Sunghyun had suggested that you get professional help to get ready for the big party at BigHit, celebrating the success of BTS’s new album, and being acquainted with your inability to dress well you’d reluctantly taken his advice.
At first, when you sat before the millions of make up products arrangements systematically, almost looking like an army of soldiers ready for war, you'd completely freaked out. Now however, you couldn’t help but admit that the stylist had done a remarkable job. At least you didn't look like you were related to The Joker.
Parties were never your thing and you had tried everything to avoid this one too but you're left with very little choice when the CEO of the company you're working for sends you a personal invitation.
The buzzing of your phone cuts your train of thought short.
He's finally here.
Hurrying down the stairs, you nearly trip and face plant twice all thanks to your heels.
Damn it! Why do women even wear these?
When you finally get out of the building you see Sunghyun leaning against his car looking down at his watch. And for a minute you stop to drink in the image before you.
One characteristic that you always associated with Sunghyun was his messy hair.. but today his hair it styled to perfection, carefully parted from the side. He has on a well fitting suit.. and now that you think about it you've never seen him in a suit before. This is a first.
The clicking of your heels makes him look up and his mouth instantly falls open. His expression changes to one you've never seen on him before...
You approach him and clear your throat. "Aishhh Sunghyun-ah, close your mouth before a fly goes in".
You see his eyes change and he snaps back to reality immediately shutting his mouth while blushing in embarrassment.
"Y-you.. umm.. l-look.. v-very pretty", Sunghyun manages to stutter.
Unable to keep your laughter in, you throw your head back laughing and nearly fall but soon steady yourself by placing a hand on Sunghyun's shoulder. You feel his entire body tense under your touch and soon move your hand away.

What's wrong with this, idiot?
"You're acting weird!", you playfully hit his arm and he gives you a shy smile. "Let's go! We're already late since someone took so long to get ready." You wink at him.
Soon enough the stuttering and staring stops and Sunghyun starts acting like himself again. Which naturally puts you at ease making you feel more like yourself.
The minute you enter the hall you feel like bolting back home. The base of the music playing vibrates through the entire room and the bright lights make you nervous. Unconsciously, you take a step back and collide into something. A pair of hands grip your shoulders and the familiar voice of Sunghyun whispers in your ear, "Don't panic. I'm here for you, Y/N".
You turn around and smile at him. He comes from behind you to stand by your side and ever so tentatively takes your hand in his. You instantly notice the warmth of his hands and smile at him.
"Shall we then, ma lady?" Sunghyun asks, you giggle at his goofiness and play along.
"We shall." you say in a mockingly posh tone.
Giggling and hand in hand you two enter the party.
Soon enough you begin to mingle with people and don't mind it when Sunghyun gets called by his friends. You reassure him you'd be fine and continue talking to your colleagues.
A waiter offers you a drink but you turn it down politely.
"Why aren't you having a drink?" One of your colleagues inquires. But you're too embarrassed to admit that you don't really drink so you take one any way.
Every now and then you bring the glass to your mouth letting the sparkling gold liquid merely touch your lips but never really taking a sip.
Just then you hear shrieking and giggling from a distance and your colleagues turn towards the source of the noise. Taking advantage of the moment you tip the contents of the glass into a nearby vase. Quite happy with yourself, you smile.
You look over at a group of giggling girls and spot Jungkook among them.
Oh, so he's causing all this commotion, you think to yourself.
The girls bat their eyelashes at him and laugh at seemingly everything and anything he says and judging from the smug look on his face, Jungkook's enjoying himself.
You crinkle your nose in disgust wondering if he is the same man that drove hours just so you could meet your grandmother.
After the short trip to Daegue the bickering and insults tossed between Jungkook and you had reduced significantly- but not stopped completely. You were surprised to discover how well you worked together when you weren't at each other's throat. You felt closer to him somehow.. felt like you understood but not looking over you don't know anymore.

I guess he’s just living up to his reputation..
T
he stab of disappointment in your chest is difficult to ignore.
Suddenly you meet Jungkook's eyes and his face changes, the smile from earlier slipping away to be replaced by an unreadable expression. He's no longer paying any attention to the girls around him but only looking at you.
Your heart skips a beat.
"I saw that." a voice whispers in your ear.
Startled, you turn around and come face to face with Jimin.
“Sweet lord!! You scared me to death." you say trying to stabilise your racing heart but it doesn't help when you take in the man smiling at you.
You always thought Jimin was one person who always looked his best.. but you had no clue what Jimin at his best looked like until that moment. He has on an impeccably tailored black suit. His shirt is crisp white and his tie black pristinely knotted.
"I saw that." Jimin repeats himself with a playful look in his eyes.
"Saw what?" You ask curiously.
"How your sneakily dealt with your drink."
"Shhhhh... Not so loud" you cover Jimin's mouth with your hand.
Having realised what you just did you hurriedly move your hand away and drop your eyes to the floor in embarrassment. But Jimin only laughing.
"I'll keep your secret only if you promise to come with me."
"Where to?"
"You ask too many questions, Y/N." Jimin titles his head to the side and smiles at you. He gently takes your hand, you follow him through the crowd and out of the hall.
As Jimin guides the way, never once gripping your hand too tight or dragging you, you try very hard to keep the questions that are popping into you head there and not let them tumble out of your mouth.
"It'll be a little dark so I want you to be careful while going up the stairs, okay?" Jimin says.
Stairs? Where's he taking me?
You hear the sound of a door unlock at the head of the stairs. The minute the door cracks open moonlight floods through to illuminate the path before you.
Jimin stands at the head of the staircase, a few steps above you, holding open the door while stretching out the other hand out for you to take. Without hesitation you slip your hand into his and notice how they fit together... Ever so perfectly.. just like two puzzle pieces.
Hand in hand you both step onto the roof top of BigHit. The sight before you is breathtaking...
Unconsciously, you let go of Jimin's hand and walk on mesmerized by the beauty surrounding you. The velvety dark blue sky studded with sparkling stars is calming to look at. Below the velvet blanket of the sky lies the lively city of Seoul bustling with life and alive with lights. You feel like a giant looking down over the city. Just then a gust of wind blows through your hair, brushing ever so gently against your cheeks. You stretch your arms out and imagine yourself flying.
"Jimin, it's so beautiful." You finally find your voice. "Jimin-"
You turn around and see him leaning against a wall with him arms crossed and looking over at you with a fond smile. There's something about the look in his eyes that makes butterflies flutter in your stomach.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" you ask him.
"You looked so at peace just then.. more beautiful that ever." he says walking towards you.
He's standing too close to you and you have to try very hard not to stare at his plump lips. He moves his hand and cups your left cheek. You feel your heart beat in your ears and for a minute wonder if Jimin can hear it too.
He moves in closer and places his lips lightly on yours. His lips are warm, gently moving against yours. Your frozen body begins to ease and you put your hands wrap lightly around his neck. This acts as encouragement for Jimin as he too seems to ease, hesitation forgotten. You feel his arm snake around your waist and pull you close to him eliminating any space between you two. You gasp against his lips.
The world around you spins with joy and for a crazy moment you think you see something move in the distance. But the bliss of the moment is too strong to allow any distractions to take you away.
Breaking away Jimin presses his forehead to yours and smiles. You can't help but do the same.
Your very first kiss

I curl my mouth into a smile and nod, reaching up to cup his cheek."You're not just an option to me. You are already a priority. I swear."
