CEO!Kang Daniel AU

Genre;; ceo!au, business!au,, job!au are these things?? ++FLUFFFFF

Warnings;; none that i know of

Pairing;; Kang Daniel x reader

Requested?;; yes (by anon)

Summary;; Your first time talking to your boss, the one and only CEO Kang Daniel, went a little wrong, but oh so right…

Style;; bullet point….

Word Count; 1559

This is kind of inspired by a) a tv show i saw once and b) a video my mum showed me about the london olympics lol so yhh

Kang Daniel is the powerhouse of W1 advertising company (excuse me i’m terrible at coming up with names for things;;)

No kidding,, he managed to score official advertising for the Korean winter olympics like;; what?? How?? Persuasion king???

Not only is he talented as hell in the business sector

Hes also MAD good looking

He managed to rise to the top at a super young age because of his skills and he constantly has the older female office workers crowding around him and swooning,,

I mean who wouldn’t swoon over Kang Daniel???

The first time you see him is when you first join W1 as a sketch artist for the production sector

Daniel’s secretary Seongwoo is just showing you around the office when you notice Kang Daniel

Sitting in his office

Stuffing gummy bears into his mouth

Like woah hold up a second?? The professional CEO-god Kang Daniel is literally STUFFING himself with sweets??

You take a mental note of this like ok you can use it for blackmail if you need to

After a few months of working there the official sketches for the olympics adverts are needed

And boyyy is Daniel GRILLING your department

Everyones working themselves to the bone and Daniel just keeps on;; turning down every idea

So you decide to take matters into your own hands

And order him a personalised box of chocolates with ‘cheer up’ on them

Funny idea

Would’ve been even funnier if you hadn’t left the receipt in the bag when you placed it on his desk that morning

With your name on it.

It didn’t take long for a call to come through to your desk that was just daniel practically shouting into the speaker

‘Come to my office now or you’re fired’

OHHH no you’re screwed sorry not sorry

As soon as you step foot in his office you just feel overwhelming dread like ohhhh my god

Dont go losing your job!!

But instead of screaming in your face he just calmly asks you to take a seat opposite him,,

‘You’re y/n, yes?’

Well duh

‘And you’ve been working here for 3 months right?’

‘Yes, Mr Kang’

‘Did Ong put you up to this??’

He asks holding up the box of chocolates

With half of them missing

Without even thinking you say,, in shock,,

‘You ate half of them already?? It’s only been half an hour??’

He laughs that cute lil laugh and smiles so softly and you just feel your heart skip a beat like ohhh god why is he so charming???

‘So you did it yourself. No need for the formalities, y/n, just call me Daniel.’

Excuse me

Your superior wants you to call him by his first name because;; you sent rude chocolates to his office

‘Thanks for the chocolates by the way, I didn’t realise I was being that harsh to your department that it warranted a rude box of chocolates.’

Uh oh here comes the you’re fired

‘I’m so sorry Mr Kang-’

‘No, y/n, I told you to call me Daniel! And there’s no need to apologise because now you’re making the whole plan on your own’

It takes a second for you to process what he said

You, someone who has worked there for not even half a year, has been given the sole responsibility to create the plan for the OLYMPIC ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN WHAT

While you’re just drowning in your thoughts he shoos you out of the room with a quick

‘I expect a basic plan in two days time, y/n. I’ll be waiting~’

He smiles that damn sweet smile and slams the door shut right in front of your shocked face

Oh my god

So much work

uHH tiny time skip

Its tomorrow basically;; and;; you’re nowhere near finished

The deadline for the basic plan is due at 9am tomorrow and it’s currently 7pm and you have absolutely no ideas

Daniel basically banned the rest of the department from talking to you so you couldn’t even ask them for ideas??

The office is almost empty except for you, and the light’s still on in Daniel’s office but nobody is in there so;; he probably left it on (don’t do that kids it’s bad for the environment)

The last person left besides you in your department is just leaving when Daniel returns from well,,, wherever he was

She turns to you, pats your shoulder and whispers

‘Good luck, y/n, if you’re too stuck just ask Mr Kang, he’s not as bad as he seems.’

You nod to her and say goodbye and turn back to your blank computer screen

The minutes feel like hours as you rack your brain for ideas and it’s almost like you’re in a trance;;

That is, until, a voice by your ear whispers

‘Y/n~ you should’ve asked me for help!!’

Of course its Kang Daniel uh oh

He plops himself down in the seat next to yours and begins to supply you with ideas

Before the clock even turns 9pm you’re finished!! And you’re so pleased you spin around on your spinny chair (i love those) and throw your arms around Daniel

He just laughs and hugs you back

‘Well done, y/n’

Then you realise what you’ve done haha good one y/n real clever;;

And you quickly remove your arms apologising profusely while he just smiles at you and giggles lightly

And in the dim light of your computer screen you realise

God

You have a crush on your boss

He continues to help you with the project after everyone else has left until you have the perfect idea

The adverts are going to be interviewing the loved ones of the athletes and talking about supporting them and helping them to achieve their dream

By the end of the month all of your ideas are finalised and you’re ready to start filming

Both you and Daniel go to the filming, him as the CEO and you as the original creator

You both stay behind after the initial filming and mess around a bit with the camera

You manage to catch a video of him stuffing his face with gummy bears and he videos you dancing along to the songs they were playing for the photoshoots bless

And as you’re watching the various videos of Daniel back you just realise that damn;; you’ve fallen HARD

His smile just makes your chest ache because it’s so cute and you’re so in love!!

But no he’s your boss stop

After that initial filming he suddenly stops attending the filming sessions

That is, until the last session when he pulls aside the cameraman and well; who knows what he did you couldn’t hear

He still hasn’t spoken to you properly and you’re beginning to think he’s sussed out your mASSIVE crush on him oh dear

So you take the opportunity to leave early and go cry into some ice cream while on the phone to your best friend in your department

Who reassures you it’s all okay but what do they know ??

The next day you walk into work in a slump with bags under your eyes because boy that ice cream food baby made it hard to sleep comfortably

Not to mention you’re nearly an hour late because of traffic

As you log in to your computer you realise you have an email?? From Daniel??

Its subject is simply ‘completed’ and it has nothing inside except for a video attachment, which you assume is the final cuts of all of the videos from the past sessions

So you watch it but as you near the end you notice something is up

There’s an extra 3 minutes?? Why??

And boom a smiley Daniel appears onscreen (prepare for cheese)

‘Y/n~~! It’s your favourite CEO!! I didn’t know how to confess to you so;; I planned this with help from Seongwoo so if this doesn’t work blame him’

Wait

Confess

‘So… I’ve liked you pretty much since the first day you appeared and saw me eating all those gummy bears;; but since we’ve worked together on this project my feelings have grown and i’m proud to say that i love you, y/n!! I will support you until you can achieve your dream and even beyond! You complete me~’

Oh my god cheesY

‘But i think you should take a look in your desk drawer…’

So of course uhh you open your drawer and there’s a pack of gummy bears with a post-it stuck to it that reads ‘come to the roof’

Then realisation sinks in

You’re an hour late the poor guy will have been waiting on that cold ass roof for an hour better get up those stairs quick

As you reach the top you notice Daniel standing in the middle of the roof with a small bouquet of flowers dressed up in this rEALLY NICE GREY SUIT (god even imagining it he looks handsome af)

He spots you, smiles and waves at you, thrusting the flowers towards you

‘I thought you’d never come! I was beginning to think you’d rejected me!’

He laughs and scratches his neck, his cheeks BRIGHT red

‘Ahh, Daniel I would never!’

He pulls you towards him and softly presses his lips against yours, confirming both of your feelings for one another

As he pulls back smiling he whispers

‘That was a long time coming but it was so worth it’

And you smile because you would never have guessed that from the first time you spoke to him that it would end up like this

He really is the persuasion king lmao

ahhh second au first request!! hopefully you guys like it lmao it took me ages to think of a plotline ;; and its kind of short yikes

Genre : Action, comedy, supernatural, urban fantasy, science fiction.

Episodes: 13

Studio: Bones

You know what’s tricky? Navigating that confusing time between childhood and adulthood. Especially if you grew up as a bit of a loner. Feeling outcast and different all the time. And that type of isolation can cut deep. Loneliness can get to you and turn you into someone you don’t want to be. Luckily for Mob, he’s always had a loving family by his side. And master Reigen has always supported him best he can. And now, without even realizing it, Mob is surrounded by friends. But what would have happened if he wasn’t? What would a powerful psychic like that turn out to be without others to keep him grounded?

The first season of Mob Psycho came as a long-delayed delightful surprise to me. I had been putting off the series for reasons that are obscure even to me, and when I finally got around to watching the first season a month or so ago, I wanted to kick myself for waiting so long. Mob Psycho made me happy. Eager to learn from my mistakes I watched a few palette cleanser shows and dove right into the second season. Let’s see if I’m kicking myself again.

is the suspense killing you?

Production-wise, there isn’t much change between the two seasons. Mostly because it was a really solid production, to begin with. I was slightly more taken with Itou, Setsuo voice acting this season but only because a few scenes allowed him to tap into this calm and melancholy tone that he does very well. Mob Psycho has always been a visually distinctive show and the aesthetic is once again rigidly upheld. If you didn’t like the look of the show before, you still won’t. If like me you really liked it, well you can figure out the rest.

All of this said there were two notable improvements in my opinion. One is expanded colour palettes. There are dusk and early morning scenes that bathe everything onscreen in a wash of colours. Environments get plunged in sudden ominous darkness as superpowered character shine. It really gave a lot of dimension to the series and made Mob Psycho 100 II look lush compared to its predecessor.

The second visible improvement was the animation. Not that it was bad in season 1, to the contrary , but there is a whole lot more this time around and it’s awesome. The action is exaggerated and quick-paced with insane ragdoll physics and skewed perspectives that are frankly just plain fun to watch. I found myself completely engrossed in fight scenes no matter how obviously unrealistic they were, unable to turn away and biting at my thumbnail.

I’m telling you, it looks great!

Sadly I have a feeling that if you don’t like the art style, no matter how much praise I heap on the animation, it won’t sway you. So let’s talk story!

I recently wrote a post on 100 Word Anime discussing the pitfalls of comparing one anime to another so let me do it again right now… Mob Psycho season 2 reminded me of Natsume’s Book of Friends.

Some of you may know that I compared Mob Psycho 100 to Neon Genesis Evangelion. The first season did in fact bring that show to mind for me. This second season, however, has matured and tweaked its themes and no longer brought to mind the classic series for me. Now you may think I’m just using another excuse to mention Natsume yet again, I don’t blame you. I do that. But there is a reason. When I say Mob Psycho II reminds me of Natsume I mean specifically season 3.

The second season of Mob Psycho is a wild ride. The action is geared way up and the stakes have been raised considerably. Yet for all the heart-pounding adventures what I took away from the season was just how much Mob and the show itself had grown. I actually wrote it in my notes after the first episode and couldn’t help but grin like a Cheshire when the characters on screen started to echo that exact thought throughout the season. It’s great when you can feel like part of the team.

well…most of the time

The second thing I wrote is just how beautiful Mob’s personal evolution was. The young boy isolated and bound by anxiety and fear had come out of his shell. Without even realizing it, he suddenly finds himself surrounded by friends and for the first time even something akin to peers. And because he finally has that support system available to him, he can finally find the strength to confront his own power. He actually starts using it to help others in mundane situations instead of only having it as a last resort. His emotional gauge actually gets filled by positive feelings just as often as negative ones if not more so. He no longer sees himself merely as a burden to others and therefore he no longer is.

I wrote all these notes down happily then went over them. When that early feeling of deja vu hit me. As I leafed through my past notebooks I realized that I had written almost word for word the exact same thing for the third season of Natsume. Clearly, I need to get a bit more varied in my note-taking but it also shows that I know what I like. And make no mistake I loved this second season of Mob Psycho.

Reigen is my favourite character in the series. I generally love tricksters but beyond that, I think that one of the main reasons Mob didn’t fall apart in his younger years was because he always had Reigen by his side. I doubt I’m the only one with a soft spot for the 2-part midseason mini-arc that developed Reigen and Mob’s relationship specifically.

these are some great episodes

I always thought that Reigen genuinely cares about the boy beyond what use he could make of him. Fact is, Reigen is scripted to ooze shifty sleeve but when push comes to shove he’s actually an extremely capable guy. Ok, not as a psychic obviously but as a con artist, definitely. More often than not his advice is pretty good, he has impressive observations skills and is a wonderful huge of character and he is protective and caring of Mob. He trusts and believes in the boy even when the boy does not believe in himself.

But it’s the flashback that got to me. The fact that Reigen had grown bored with his psychic gig and was considering moving on. With his social skills, he could easily have found some other way to make a decent living. But a young boy clearly in need of someone walks into his office and he just couldn’t turn him away. Sure, if he could make a buck in the process, all the better, but that wasn’t the main motivation. And he’s still like that. When someone is truly in need of help, he doesn’t turn them away, ever.

Combine this with a Mob that has become self-assured enough to think for himself and even say no! A young man that has gained the maturity to accept his mentor’s limits and failings and still appreciate him. And you have a tremendous character arc in two short episodes. Not only did they develop both characters without resorting to exposition dumps but they also did so without sanitizing or retconing either. I said this a lot in the first season review, but Mob Psycho is a smart show. And it continues to be so.

Mob’s been through a lot this season

This season also brought some conflict that was way more nuanced. In the last episodes, we even see Mob gleefully revel in his powers and the destruction they wrought. He immediately stops himself and is filled with guilt but there’s something else going on. There’s a great attention given to Mob’s expressions. By default, he’s a bit of a blank canvass, largely expressionless. This season, as he’s opening up more his feelings are starting to show on his face. Small shy smiles, tiny barely there scowls… But when he goes to 100% then it’s the complete opposite. He is deliberately drawn to be terrifying, almost demonic. Dishevelled unnatural hair, impossibly intense eyes, an uncontrollable aura escaping from him. But in that one moment, that minute that he let himself enjoy his power, he looked….great. I mean he looked like a healthy happy young man. The spiked hair flowing lazily about him like a pretty anime boy, no visible aura at all, a relaxed smile reaching all the way to joyful eyes.

In another anime, I would have called this an odd design choice but not in Mob Psycho. For two seasons this show has been very precise with its imagery and particularly with Mob’ expressions. This was thought out and selected for a reason. The visual language of the anime is telling a completely different story from the script. It’s subtly showing us a boy that has been at war with his own nature for his whole life and the one moment of release came as a huge relief. A boy that could still go down a dark path. This is a moral ambiguity the first season stayed very far away from and a noted shift in narrative vision. One I am excited for.

I feel you Ritsu, it was quite a moment

I want to see more of Mob Psycho 100 and I hope I can do so soon!

Favourite character: still Reigen

What this anime taught me: Sequels are fantastic

Come, we’ll get drunk, quote movies and talk about how awesome we are

Suggested drink: Brown Sugar Manhattan

Every time Mob’s in street clothes – take a sip

Every time the show turns into a video game – take a sip

Every time we see a tomato – get a snack

Every time we see the super awesome Body Improvement club – Cheers!

Every time anyone is pantless – gasp

Every time Reigen seem kind of cool – put the drink down

Every time Mob gets a call – take a sip

Every time we see Mezato-san – take a sip

Every time other psychics are watching tv – take a sip

Every time Ritsu doesn’t get along with Reigen – take a sip

Every time you’re surprised by how touching this show is – check if season 3 has been announced

I love Bones’ visuals. They really speak to me. So once again I uploaded a whole bunch of screencaps to Pinterest and Imgur.
