ch 12

“Anyways, guess I’ll get going since you’re too busy to do me this favor”, says the woman, pouting still showing and gently tugging on the purple-haired man’s tie. The latter gulps and blinks several times just to wrap his head around the fact that he has this beautiful woman a few inches away from his face.

“Actually, I-I c-can copy you those”, Hye-jin’s eyes light up and gasps, pulling away from George and letting go of his tie almost immediately

“What?”

“WHAT?”, yells y/n in tail disgruntled.

“Oh thank you so much, Georgie baby! I owe you one”, squeals the lady grabbing his cheeks with both hands for a couple of seconds to then take a few steps back, having her mission accomplished.

“No, no way! I got here first?!”, says the blond exasperatedly throwing her hands in the air. Hye-jin remained unbothered while checking her nails.

“y/n, for the love of all that’s good, be a good girl and let Hye-jin get her copies, okay?”, responds the man totally starstruck not taking his eyes off the stunning woman.

“Okay, okay. Hye-jin hyuna, for when do you need the copies delivered?”, asks y/n trying to cool off her thoughts. Two minutes left for handing in her set of copies to Mr. Choi, clock ticking by.

“Mmm”, started the woman with her finger poking her chin as if doing some hard thinking. “By tomorrow, but I don’t want to get stuck with this by then so the sooner the better, right?”, y/n snorts and looks at George.

“And I need mine NOW! George! My papers are more urgent!”, whines the blond stomping her feet cutely.

“Oh no, but it would be such a pity for this lady to get stuck with her papers, wouldn’t it?”, smirks the taller ogling at the lady’s long legs.

“What the f-”

“y/n-ssi, no swearing at the workplace...”, singsongs Hye-jin with a snide tone pointing at the sign on the wall.

“Vulgarity spoils everything. Modesty beautifies it”

y/n’s fuming. She glares at George who sports a shit-eating grin and the blond wants to kill him right there and then. From the corner of her eyes, she sees how the woman hands him her folders before taking her leave not without sending George a flying kiss that makes him go all red on the cheeks.

-”You’re a dickhead, hope you know that”, finishes y/n snatching her own folder from the desk and storming off right behind Hye-jin.

-”y/n-ssi, y/n-ssi, don’t paint me out as the bad guy, I’m only trying to be courteous”, says the man with that sickening smirk of his. The blond stops on her tracks and turns around fake smiling to finally show him the middle finger and slam the door loudly behind him.

The blond wants to “d” word so badly and get the hell out of there but yet he’s conscious that if he does, no one’s going to pay the bills for him next month. 

So here you go, your average beginner office worker y/n, twenty-four years old, working her *** off for the lowest salary in the building, single as **** and manga geek, trapped in a job she hates with her guts and an upsetting boss that she half of the time wants to send to hell and the other half wants to kick out of his eighth- floored-office window. But she knows she’s too young to go to jail and she can find a better job in the future (as long as she doesn’t get killed in this one before that happens).

Taehyung, his classlmate, and roommate can barely afford his less than half of the lease and the food. He says his career as an actor is about to bloom but y/n can’t see any of that happening at the moment. Taehyung keeps taking part-time jobs; as the babysitter of the naughtiest triplets ever-existing, as a seller in a nearby grocery store, as a dog walker and as a mower. y/n knows for sure how her friend busts a gut every month to make ends meet. 

The days that y/n gets home from work all drained and utterly crushed with a fried brain thanks very much to Mr. Choi, she stumbles upon a table served with the most delicious samgyeopsal and a smiling Taehyung wearing his stained apron looking oh so happily, and y/n instantly forgets what has gotten him mad and frustrated in the first place. 

Sometimes she gets ill-worried about the bills and her shrunk wage but then comes Taehyung with two bottles of soju and a bag of chips and have their long-hours conversations on the balcony that always end up with both of them laughing like crazy with her heads thrown back and trembling bodies. They both met through y/n’s brother Jin, and thanks to y/n, Taehyung met Yoongi, his current boyfriend. 

She still remembers the moment the younger saw Yoongi for the first time. He was finishing moving his things from his old apartment into y/n’s when he found the boy all sprawled on the couch, limbs all over the place while scrolling down on his phone. Taehyung gasped and dropped the heavy boxes he was carrying, making Yoongi jolt and almost fall flat to the ground at the noise. y/n couldn’t hold back her laughter because of the raging red flushed on Taehyung’s cheeks. Yoongi only frowned at the younger with a gesture of ‘seriously dude?’ for like seconds to then get back to his initial position, not minding anything that had just happened. The blond immediately introduced her friend to her new roommate and they both shared awkward looks and polite smiles. As soon as Yoongi was out of earshot, Taehyung started squealing like a teenage girl with a high school crush and asked him everything about the older. Taehyung found out that Yoongi was indeed single having gotten out of a long relationship just a few months ago. He learned that he was an underground rapper, that he owned a Persian cat named Koolly, that he played the piano since a very young age and that his sense of humor was, well, nonexistent. y/n reflects on the memories she has of those times and how the tables have turned in a blink of an eye, how in less than three weeks Taehyung and Yoongi started to go on dates and make out at every given chance, at every single spot. It was quite uncomfortable for the y/n to get home sometimes and find them all over each other exchanging saliva and touching in all parts of their bodies.

It looks like they fell in love really fast. Yes, they did. But that’s just their love. Crazy and passionate. Rushed and gentle. 

They were the one and the same. And after two years, they still are.

From the sidelines, it looks like Taehyung is the most committed to their relationship, well, that’s what seems the obvious thing to think.

But Jimin knows better.
