Genre: Secretary! Namjoon, COO! reader. lovers to enemies! au, established relationship! au, breakup! au, fluff, smut, and angst
Summary: Y/N graduated on top of her class for her business major with her fiancé, Kim Namjoon. In the years they’ve been together, Y/N always listened to what Namjoon needed and made sure he was happy with her all the time. She never got to talk about her feelings but as long as he was happy then she was happy. When the CEO announced he was stepping down everyone thought Y/N was going to become the new CEO but was met with shock when Namjoon got the job instead. The first thing he does is fire her and breaks up with her, leaving her alone and jobless. When another company wants her, she will show Namjoon the woman that she has always been and she was much better off without him
Warnings: Toxic relationship, manipulation, lying, Namjoon is a dick in this lol, Y/N gets what she deserves in the end, threats, cigarette usage in one scene, slow build up lol, angst, fluff and sex scene
Part of Little Mix's Mixtape series!
“Power is the greatest thing you can have but it can also be your greatest flaw in life. No matter who you are, you always crave power. Within relationships, jobs, and even within yourself, power is almost always the topic of interest. Just take a look at history-”
Y/N shut off the T.V when she saw that her fiancé, Kim Namjoon, fell asleep on the couch after a long day at work, again. She glanced down and smiled at his soft face as the snores left his tired body. She placed her purse on the hook and did the same with her jacket. She walked up towards him and sat next to him on the couch, slowly and gently; she didn’t want to wake him up yet. She slowly pushed some hair off of his forehead and felt her heart flutter at the sight of him. She gently rubbed his shoulder to try to wake him up and tried her best not to let out a small laugh when she saw his eyebrows furrowed, “Joonie?” 
He slowly opened his eyes and gave her a soft smile, “Hey, did you just come home?”
“Sorry I came home so late. Mr. Lester needed me for another meeting.” 
“It's okay, babe. I didn’t make dinner though, sorry.” 
She watched him get up from his spot and stretched out letting out a small moan, “Joonie it’s okay. You don’t have to make dinner or pick it up everyday.” 
“I know but I’m always home first and I want to take care of you.”
She gave him a small smile and leaned forward giving him a quick kiss on his lips, “Joonie, we take care of each other, okay.”
“Mmmm...want to eat?” 
“I was thinking of changing out of our work clothes and finally going to sleep in the proper environment. It's better for your back and better for your headspace.”
Namjoon nodded his head and wrapped his arm around her waist with a small smirk, “You look good today, I can’t believe I let you wear that without giving you attention.” 
She rolled her eyes and leaned forward to wrap her arms around his neck, “How can you say that? We had a quickie before we left this morning.” 
“Exactly, it was only a quickie. You deserve more than that.” 
She shook her head at this and leaned in, kissing his forehead, “Lets go to bed, you deserve a good sleep.” 
The couple moved slowly into their bedroom and as they moved the exhaustion she didn’t feel was now hitting her full force. Namjoon sat on the bed in his sweats and watched Y/N taking off her pantyhose. He bit his lip as the dark material left her leg bare for his viewing. She turned around as she tossed her clothing into the dirty basket and raised her eyebrow at him, “Joonie, shouldn’t you be sleeping? You had a long day.”
“Why would I go to sleep when my sexy fiancée is changing in front of me?” 
She rolled her eyes again and put on one of his shirts. She sat at her nightstand brushing her hair as she felt his gaze on her back but she didn’t want to look back, yet. She put her hair up in a messy bun and turned around to look at him up and down, “Joonie, I thought you were tired?” 
“Seeing you made me not tired.” 
She smirked at this and got up from her stool, walking slowly to him. This caused him to lean back on the bed and look her up and down, “Oh, is that right, Joonie?” 
His smirk got wider and patted his lap making her slowly sit on his lap, directly on his semi-hard cock. He rubbed his hands up and down on her thighs making goosebumps appear on her skin, “Ms. L/N, you should know that's not my name when we were in this room.” 
“Joonie, do I-”
She suddenly felt a smack on her thigh and she let out a small moan at the feeling, “L/N, you know the answer to that.”
“Yes, Mr. Kim.” 
“There’s the good girl I know and love.”
She gave him a quick smile but deep down she was annoyed whenever he did this. She hated calling him that and when she brought it up once, he got mad at her. He told her that she was basically kink shaming him and she never wanted him to feel like that and so, it went silent. In the ten years she been with him, she always called him Mr. Kim when they have sex. Never once did he ask her what she liked but she only liked the things he liked, to make things easier or that's what she told herself.
Their relationship was filled with Y/N accommodating Namjoon’s needs, no matter what. She gave everything up to be with him. Her relationship with her ex-best friend Jungkook was now a distant memory because Namjoon was constantly jealous, getting a lower grade for an important test so he could be number one for once in college, lessen her visits to her older brother, and she even changed her wardrobe because he didn’t like how she dressed before. Everything she did was for him because she loved him. 
“No bra? Huh?” His hands traveled to her breast and gave her a tight pinch causing her to moan softly. He moved forward and sucked at her exposed shoulder making her tilt her neck to give him more access. 
She let out another sigh when he lifted her shirt off giving a view of her bare breast, “Joo-Mr. Kim, are you going to be okay? You're not tired?”
“Never, especially when you're on my lap, Ms. L/N.”
She opened her mouth but Namjoon quickly pushed her onto the bed and spread her legs, making Y/N’s eyes widen at the movement. He ripped the pair of lace panties off, making her gasp, “Joonie!” 
He didn't acknowledge her and instead brought one of his hands to his mouth, spitting on two of his fingers. He then gave her a quick smirk and lowered his fingers and pushed them roughly into her pussy. 
“Oh!” She gasped at the feeling of his fingers and how rough he was being. It did burn a little but it was feeling so good that she ignored it. 
“Already, wet. Haven’t even done anything to you.” 
She couldn’t say anything because she was met with another rough thrust from him. He brought his other hand up and gave her clit a light slap making her back arched from the bed. The slapping continued and she couldn’t keep her eyes open, the pleasure was over taking her like it always does. It happened so fast, one last moan and she orgasmed. She felt light headed and the only thing she heard was her heavy breathing. It wasn’t until she felt something at her thigh causing her to regain her vision. She looked down to see Namjoon rubbing his cock up and down, staring at her with lust. She felt his head going up and down her slit, making her let out another moan, “You're going to be a good girl, right?” 
“Yes...Mr. Kim.” 
“Good.” 
He gave her a smirk before pushing himself into her making her let out a loud moan. She closed her eyes at the feeling and he roughly smacked her thigh, “Open your eyes, baby.”
“I-I can’t...It feels too good.”
“You think I care? Do what I say.” He leaned forward and pinched her nipple rough making her eyes fly open at the feeling, “Fuck.” He groaned loudly, throwing his head back as he pounded into her. 
“Joo-Mr. Kim, ah.” 
He leaned forward and gently wrapped his hands over her throat as he lightly pressed down. She hated this part but she knew she had no say in this, that's just how things were for her. He continued to thrust hard into her and the pleasure she was feeling was slowly changing to uncomfortableness but she kept her mouth shut. He quickly pulled out and came onto her stomach, she didn’t even get to come that night...  
Tumblr media
Y/N L/N, the COO of HYBE Corporation, the leading developer within the entertainment world and technology. The corporation has been running even before she was born and she was in charge of the entertainment spectrum while Mr. Lester took care of the technology. Six years ago, Y/N graduated the top of her class and Mr. Lester heard good things from her professors and counselors about her work ethic and her resume was impressive for her age. A month after she graduated, he called her up and wanted her as an intern before she became COO. He knew this was taking a big chance but he knew that she was a talented young girl and didn’t doubt her like his partners did. This was Y/N’s dream finally come true, to get notice for her hard work but of course the euphoria didn't last. 
Namjoon was upset that she got hired and he didn’t. He applied for the same company but was turned down. Y/N felt bad for telling him, it must have felt like a knife in his heart and somehow he convinced her to talk to Mr. Lester about quitting. This made Mr. Lester almost have a heart attack and he desperately asked her what he needed to do to keep her there, this is how Namjoon got his job as a secretary. 
Mr. Lester and Namjoon grew close over the years. Many said he was being an ass kisser while others said he was just doing his job. There was even a rumor that Namjoon was fucking him at one point but that was put to rest when Y/N announced their engagement to everyone three years ago. Throughout the company, many disliked Namjoon. He was rude and cold to everyone, even making a senior chief cry because of his harsh words. Y/N of course, heard all these rumors and complaints but she always resolved them before it reached Mr. Lester. It was the opposite for Y/N. Everyone respected her and whenever they saw her in the meeting room, the aura would feel lighter. She was the backbone of the company and everyone knew this but Namjoon. Every time they were in the same room, Namjoon would act like he didn’t know her and Y/N took this as him being professional at work. It did hurt her but she knew when she came home he was there for her. 
Since Namjoon was a secretary, he would always leave before Y/N. In the beginning, it caused a rift between the two. Not because of the lack of time they spent together but the fact the company needed Y/N more than they needed him. Y/N couldn’t understand the fight, she was the COO, of course she had more work to do. After a while, the rift was mended but it still left an unresolved tension between the two. Tension that his mother picked up and talked to them about but Namjoon lied to her and said it was just stress. He didn’t let her say anything that night or even later on. 
Y/N was walking back to her office after another meeting when her friend Hannah Jo walked up to her, “Did you hear?”
Y/N rolled eyes and shook her head, “What’s the new rumor this time Han?”
The two continued to walk until they entered her office and Hannah quickly closed the door, “There’s a rumor that Mr. Lester is going to retire soon but no one knows when.”
Y/N raised her eyebrow at this and sat in her chair, staring at her with shock, “He never discussed that with me. How did you hear this rumor?”
Hannah quickly sat in the chair in front of her desk and leaned forward, “I heard it from Lia, who heard it from Kathy, who heard it from Irene, who heard it-”
“I get it…Should I bring it up with Mr. Lester?”
“I think you should bring it up with Namjoon. He would know before anyone else.”
“I should know before anyone else, I’m the COO.”
“Maybe he likes Namjoon more?”
Y/N let out a frustrated sigh and took a sip of her coffee, “Did you hear about the upcoming company that could become our partners soon?”
“Ooh? Delight me.”
“Stardust Corporation, I heard it’s run by a man named Kim Taehyung. It was brought up in the meeting today and I was wondering if you heard anything about him. Since you love rumors and to socialize with everyone. The only thing that I know is that it’s an entertainment company like ours.”
Hannah sat there in shock with her mouth wide open, making Y/N raise her eyebrow at the look. If she could, she would laugh at the expression, “Kim Taehyung? You haven’t heard about him?”
“Han, that’s why I’m asking.”
“He’s the most sought out bachelor in Seoul. His father owned restaurants across Korea and his mother was a famous lawyer. He’s super rich and he started his business from the ground up without his parents' help.”
Y/N nodded her head at this and took a sip of her coffee, “That’s impressive.”
“And he’s my age. Twenty-four and rich, what more can you want in a partner.”
“Han, do you even know what he looks like?”
“That’s the thing! No one knows what he looks like. Ever since he was a child, his parents hid his face. They wanted to protect his identity from the press and stalkers but after seeing his father, I bet he’s very handsome.” 
She smiled at this and took out some paperwork from her desk, “That’s really nice of them. Protecting their son from the press like that, it’s poetic really.”
“Yeah...Are we still up for lunch?”
“Of course we are…have you seen Namjoon around?”
Her smile quickly turns into a worried expression as Y/N avoids it by glancing at the wall, “Did something happen?”
“Yeah…last night we had sex and usually when I wake up the next morning, we cuddle and have breakfast together. He wasn’t there this morning nor did he tell me where he went. I assume he came to work but I haven’t seen him anywhere...” 
“I saw him only once, which is weird. He was coming out of Mr. Lester’s office for a quick coffee break and in the midst of that, he yelled at an intern for not having the proper shoes…it was a scene to witness.”
Y/N let out a sigh and rubbed her forehead before glancing back at Hannah, “He did that?”
“Yeah…Louise tried to stop it but he glared at her and it scared her. She’s almost fifty, we can’t have her have a heart attack. What are you going to do about it?”
“I’ll check on her but how many times am I going to fix his mistakes? One day just one, I would like to just focus on my job and not worry that he’s going to mess something up because of his attitude.”
“Y/N you're too nice and you need to stop putting up with so much crap. He doesn’t deserve it.”
“That’s my fiancé you're talking about…but you're right. You should head back to work, I’ll see you at lunch?”
Hannah sighed and stood up from the chair and nodded her head, “Yeah but Y/N remember what I said.”
She swallowed some spit and nodded her head at this, forcing a smile onto her face, “Don't worry, I will…”
She watched her leave her office and she placed her forehead on her desk. It’s barely Tuesday and she already had ten complaints, she was sure it was going to be eleven now. If she was at any other company, she would’ve fired him. Regardless of a personal relationship, she needed to do what was right for her employees but Mr. Lester would never let her do that. She lifted her head up and took a deep sigh before going through the documents. It was barely eleven and she already felt stress. Stress that she knew wasn’t good for her heart. 
She started pacing through the documents but one caught her eye. It was a document regarding a caterer for next month, a caterer she never organized for. She looked through the paper and saw it was Mr. Lester’s favorite restaurant and all his favorite foods. She didn’t get told about anything but maybe it was for Stardust when they accepted the deal. She put the document to the side and continued to go through the papers without distraction. 
After an hour, it was finally her lunch break. She got up from her desk and made her way towards Hannah’s office, which was down the hall. She knocked on the door and she heard a soft ‘come in’, which she did so. She opened the door to see Hannah putting her phone down with an annoyed look, “Han, is everything okay?”
“Yeah, Namjoon wants a meeting with me about something but he wants it after our lunch. I have nothing ready for it but he expects me to have something. It’s so annoying.” 
Y/N gave her a sad smile and walked behind her desk to rub her shoulders gently, “Han, I’m sorry. Everything will be okay. You're so good at talking and I’m sure you have nothing to worry about. I don’t understand why he does that.”
“Because he only cares about his own needs and not what others are doing. You're ready for lunch, I’m going to have a shot before the meeting.”
“I’m going to pretend that I didn’t hear that.”  
The two girls started walking towards the cafeteria and as they did so, the people around them were either talking about Taehyung or Namjoon. Y/N heard all the soft voices about her fiance and she would be lying if she said it didn't bother her but it did. She loved him and the way he was passionate about everything he did in life but she had to admit, the way he did things was controversial. Technically, Y/N was in the higher position but he treated her like she was an intern on the first day. It annoyed her but she kept silent to keep their relationship going. 
The girls entered the cafeteria and imminently someone came running towards her, “Ms. L/N, Mr. Kim canceled the meeting we were supposed to have about the television show we were supposed to produce next month.”
“What? That meeting had been in the works for a year...why did he cancel it?”  
The young man looked down at the floor with a nervous look before looking back up at her, “He said it didn’t fit with us...”
Y/N let out a frustrated sigh and nodded her head, “Thank you for telling me.” 
“You’re welcome....”
She watched him walk away and she looked at Hannah with an annoyed look, “Why the hell would he do that? How did he get the power to cancel meetings like that?” 
“Y/N, how about we eat our lunch before we cry from stress.” 
“That sounds lovely right now...I might have a shot with you.” 
After their lunch and three shots each, Y/N made her way to Mrs. Paul’s office about the canceled television meeting. She walked with annoyance and anyone around her could see it. It was rare to see Y/N annoyed because usually she gave everyone a soft smile but this time she looked at no one. She knocked on the door and when she heard enter, she did so. She walked in and Mrs. Paul stood up and bowed at her.
“Mrs. L/N, what brings you here?”
Y/N didn’t say anything and sat in the chair, “Why was the meeting for the television show Better canceled? That meeting has been in the works for a year and I wasn’t notified that it was canceled until today, the day of the said meeting. Who authorized it?” 
Mrs. Paul looked at her with nervous eyes and her lips turned into a straight line, “Ms. L/N, Mr. Kim told us that Mr. Lester wanted the meeting canceled...we confirmed it this morning with Mr. Lester through email but he told us not to tell you...” 
Y/N stared at her with a shocked expression and let out a small scoff, “I was the one that set up the meeting, why wouldn’t he notify me on the matter?” 
“I’m not sure but we wanted to send you an email but we had one of our newer interns do it because we knew he wouldn’t be recognized by anyone. I’m sorry.”
Y/N nodded her head at this and gave her a smile, “Thank you for telling me everything. I hope you have a good day, Mrs. Paul.”
She got up and the two stared at each other with two different expressions. Mrs. Paul’s expression was similar to a child getting yelled at while Y/N’s expression was blank with a smile but her eyes could tell you a story. They bowed at each other and Y/N made her way back to her office. She looked around her to make sure no one was following her and she went into the women's bathroom. She stared at herself in the mirror and shook her head at her reflection, something was happening and she didn’t know what.
Tumblr media
The next few weeks, meetings were being canceled from left to right, leaving Y/N even more frustrated. She sent countless emails to Mr. Lester but she received nothing in return. Which is why she was sitting in the meeting room waiting for Namjoon to enter with an annoyed look. He was the one in charge of the emails for Mr. Lester and she wanted an answer to why there was no response and she also wanted to know about the rapid decline of meetings about future projects. Projects that she, herself had to fight other companies to get but here she is empty handed. 
When the door opened she watched Namjoon at the end of the table staring at her with a raised eyebrow, “Is everything okay, Ms. L/N?”
She let out a deep sigh and stood up from the table. She crossed her arms and continued to stare at him, “Why haven’t my emails been answered, Mr. Kim? Don’t say you were busy because all the meetings that were set up were canceled.” 
Namjoon looked down at his hands before meeting her eyes again, “Mr. Lester has me on a project-”
“Did that require you to cancel all the meetings that I have been waiting for a year on?”
“I was just doing what Mr. Lester told me to do. In two weeks everything will make sense, Ms. L/N.” 
“What do we do then? We have no meetings for new shows or music programs and all the shows we have produced are now ending. I can’t keep making meetings for them only to get canceled. It’s a waste of my time and everyone else's. An email could do wonders Mr. Kim. Why haven’t I gotten any emails about the canceled meetings?” 
“Mrs. Paul was supposed to send you that but it seems like she didn’t follow through. She’s in your department, fix it.” 
Liar...She glared at him and scoffed at him, “Don’t tell me how to run my department, Mr. Kim. I sent emails straight to Mr. Lester and it's your job to respond. You should fix yourself before you tell me what to fix.” 
The two stare at each other with heated looks which wasn’t normal between the two. Usually, Y/N wouldn’t even bring up the matter and try her best to ignore it or fix it herself but this was different. He canceled things that have been in the works for years, why would he do that? This time it was different for her, she was annoyed and she was showing it to him for once. 
Namjoon stood up from the table and looked at her with a smug looked, “Is there anything else, Ms. L/N?”
“I want an answer about the emails, Mr. Kim.”
“I had other important emails to get too during this week, I apologized for not responding.”
“What about the meeting with Stardust next month? Mr. Lester-”
“I don’t think you should be worrying about that right now, Ms. L/N.”
She raised her eyebrow and tilted her head at him with confusion, “Why would you say that, Mr. Kim?”
“Just know, everything that Mr. Lester does it for the benefit of the company. That’s it.” Before she could say anything, he was already on the move to leave but before he opened the door he turned around to give a quick smile, “I’ll see you at home.” 
When she heard the door close, she was flabbergasted. She quickly sat in the chair and stared at the wall with wide eyes. This meeting confirmed one thing for her, something was happening and she was out of the know. Which made her worried. She stood up from the table and made her way out of the company building. She needed fresh air before going back to work or even speak to Mrs. Paul. As she walked towards the park, she looked down at her ring and glared at it. She slipped her ring off and placed it in her pocket as she continued her way.
She sat on a bench as she stared at the tree with a blank expression, what the hell was going on? She was the backbone of the company but now she was feeling like a corpse on the side rotting away while everyone watched. Why would Mr. Lester do this? He trusted her to become a COO but now she doesn’t even feel like that. She continued to stare until she heard a small whine coming from under her.
She raised her eyebrow and looked down to see a pomeranian that was black and tan staring at her with wide eyes. She gave him a smile and bent down, quickly petting his small head, “Hello there. Are you lost?” 
Of course the dog couldn’t answer her question but it wagged her tail in excitement and gave a small bark. She let out a small laugh and sat on the floor to look at the tag but before she could read it, she heard a deep voice from the side of her making her freeze. She looked up to see a handsome man with dark fluffy brown hair in a simple gray sweater and she stared at him with wide eyes.
“Thank you for getting my Tannie. I’m sorry if he caused any problems for you.”
She shook her head and got up from the ground giving him a small smile, “He didn’t, no worries.”
The man smiled at this and clicked his tongue making the dog run towards him in excitement, “I looked away for a second and he ran off.”
“You don’t have to explain anything to me, I’m glad you found him and now he can be with his daddy.” 
The man smirked at this and bit his lip, “Daddy?” 
Y/N’s face turned red and she shook her head, “I meant like owner because you take care of him nothing like that I-”
He let out a chuckle making Y/N do the same as she covered her mouth, hiding the embarrassment she felt in the moment.  He gave her a wide smile making her see his perfect teeth and she blushed at how handsome he truly was, “Would you like to go on a walk with me?”
“I have to go back to work...I’m sorry but if I had time I would’ve loved to.” 
He gave her a quick smile and a nod, “It’s okay, maybe I’ll see you soon. At least I hope so.” 
She smiled at this and looked down at her shoes before looking back at him, “What’s your name?” 
“Tae, just call me Tae.”
She nodded her head at this and she looked when she felt Tannie scratch at her leg. She bent down and scratched the back of his ear, “Tae, it's cute.” 
“What’s your name?” 
“Y/N...”
“Y/N, it's cute.”
She stood up and gave him a final smile before looking behind her at her building, “I have to go...I hope I see you again...”
“I hope so too...bye.”
“Bye.”
She waved goodbye and walked away but halfway down the sidewalk, she looked back to see him standing there already looking at her. She gave him a small wave and he returned it making her feel giddy on the inside. She walked inside the building and she felt her heart flutter from what just happened to her. It’s been awhile since she felt that and it felt good. She looked down at her hand and quickly placed her ring back onto her finger as she stared at it. Seeing the ring back on her finger felt foreign to her but she pushed the feeling to the side because she was annoyed at Namjoon. Nothing more and nothing less. 
She continued to make her way back to her office when Hannah came up to her with papers in her hands, “Ah, Y/N. They need you to sign this.”
“What is this?”
“Its for this balloon decoration thing, I don’t know Namjoon just handed it to me and he said it's to celebrate Mr. Lester’s 80th birthday.” 
“Ah, okay. I’ll just sign it here and you can take it up to him.”
Hannah gave her pen and watched her sign it but something was off with her. Hannah raised her eyebrow and grabbed the pen from her when she was done, “You're in a good mood. Did something happen on your break?” 
“I guess you could say that. You can take these up to Namjoon, I’ll be in my office.”
Y/N turned around and walked back to her office with a small smile on her face. She remembers his deep voice and fluffy brown hair but most of all she remembers his sharp jawline. How could anyone be that handsome? It was impossible but there he was standing in front of her. She entered her office and leaned against her door with a smile, there was something about him that made her feel seen. She couldn’t tell Namjoon where she was during her break because she knew it would cause a problem between the two. She sat in her seat and glanced outside the window with a small smile. She hoped she would see him again...
Tumblr media
No one knew what was happening. Everyone was dressed in fancy gowns and suits in the dance room of a hotel. A week ago, Mr. Lester sent an email regarding his party and asked everyone to dress for the occasion. Y/N actually didn’t know Mr. Lester’s birthday was today, she thought it was next week but maybe her mind was playing tricks on her. She was dressed in a simple white sequin, one shoulder gown that had a high slit showing off her white heels. She had a diamond choker and her hair was in a low ponytail. She was supposed to be here with Namjoon but he took off before she could finish getting ready, making her show up alone. 
She took another glass of champagne off of the waiter's plate and took an annoyed sip. She felt a tap on her shoulder and she turned around to see Hannah smiling at her, “You look nice.”
“So do you, Hannah. Have you seen Namjoon?”
Hannah raised her eyebrow at this and shook her head, “Didn’t you guys come together?” 
“No, I have no idea where he is. Can you tell how annoyed I am?”
“Yeah, it's unlike you to be annoyed. I’m surprised.” 
Y/N sighed and swirled her glass with a frown, “I just want to feel like his fiance for once and not a coworker...I thought tonight would be the night where we show off some pda to everyone. Not a lot but just enough.” 
“I’m sorry, Y/N but -” 
“Can I have everyone’s attention!” 
The two girls turned their heads to see the man that they were just talking about was no on stage with Mr. Lester. Y/N turned her whole body around and was shocked to see him in a simple black suit. It was simple but he still looked handsome in it. She smiled at him and clapped her hands as everyone else did so.
“Today we celebrate, Mr. Lester’s last day,” Y/N raised her eyebrow and looked at Hannah who shared the same look as her. She looked back at Namjoon to see that he was already looking right at her but his gaze didn’t make her feel comfortable, “Today we celebrate a new chapter. Mr. Lester is retiring and a new CEO comes forward. It’s a special day!”
This caused everyone in the room to whisper because they knew it was going to be Y/N walking up on stage as the new CEO. Even Hannah thought this and glanced at Y/N to congratulate her but Y/N remained frozen. The gaze that Namjoon was giving her was almost a mocking gaze and she couldn’t figure out why. He gave her a smirk and this made a cold shiver go down her back, something was off.
“Mr. Lester has chosen me as the new CEO.”
Gasps were heard through the room and Y/N remained frozen, what the hell was going on? Hannah grabbed her shoulder and she leaned forward to whisper in her ear, “Y/N, what the hell is happening?”
“I-I don’t know.”
They all watched Mr. Lester limped his way up to the microphone thinking they were going to get answers for this shocking event, “I picked Namjoon because we became close over the past few years. There is no one else I trust more with this company. He’s a man with a plan and I wouldn’t want anyone else in charge. Please give a round of applause to your new CEO, Kim Namjoon!” 
After the announcement, Y/N made her way to follow Namjoon outside in a hurry. She wanted answers because no one knew that this was happening and she was annoyed she kept in the dark about this whole thing. She followed him into the gardens and tapped his shoulder as he put down his cigarette, “What?”
“What? Is that all you can say to me? Namjoon what the hell just happened? Why didn’t you tell me?”
“You shouldn’t be talking to your new CEO like that, Ms. L/N.”
She watched him toss the cigarette down onto the concrete and turned around looking at her with a smirk, “I told you didn’t have to worry about anything anymore because you're fired.”
The world around her stopped and she stared at him with pure shock in her eyes. She took a step back and almost fell to the floor when she realized she had no strength in her. She shook her head and looked at him with wide eyes, “Wha-what are you talking about?”
“I told you in the beginning to leave this job, you weren’t capable of becoming a CEO. Look at us now, I’m the CEO while you're jobless. It’s a great ending to our story. Mr. Lester was easy to convince, with him almost being eighty…his memories were going and all I had to do was convince him I was the COO. He believed me. Now this company is under me, you should know your place, woman.” She continued to stare at him with a shocked look as he let out a loud laugh when he saw her expression. He leaned forward and took the ring off of her finger with enough force to make her body move backwards, “You embarrassed me in college and then you embarrassed me here, that’s not going to happen, anymore.” 
He kissed her on the lips and walked away but before he made his way back inside he turned around to see that she didn’t move from her spot and let out another chuckle, “I did love you once Y/N but I realized I could get what I wanted out of you. So, thank you. You can keep our old apartment, I love doing charity work. Goodbye.”
She heard footsteps walking away and when it was silent, she fell to the floor covering her mouth. She let her eyes spill whatever tears she was holding back and she clenched her dress skirt as tight as she could. How could she be so blind? After everything she has sacrificed to be with him, this is what he does. She finally let out the sob she was holding in and covered her face with her hands. She continued to cry until she heard her name softly whispered through the wind making her look up from her hands. Her eyes widened when she saw who was in front of her and she quickly whipped her tears off and her eyes, to make sure she wasn’t going crazy. 
“Jungkook?”
Y/N sat in the library with a frown after what happened with Namjoon the night before. They got into another fight because of her hanging out with Jungkook and she didn’t know what to do. Jungkook has been in her life since she was ten and she was mad that Namjoon wanted her to get rid of him, essentially. The words that Namjoon said to her hurt her deeply. He called her a whore for hanging out with Jungkook and it made her feel disgusted with herself but at the same time she knew she had no reason to feel like that.
She heard the chair move next to her and she looked to see Jungkook giving her a wide smile, “Hey you, are you okay?”
She sighed and shook her head while taking a sip of her water, “I got in another fight with Namjoon last night...” 
“Noona...another fight? That’s like the sixth fight this week.” 
She nodded her head at this and looked at him with a frown, “I don’t know what to do...” 
“Why did you fight?”
She bit her lip and looked away from his gaze and then looked back into his eyes, “He got mad I was with you...” 
“What?”
She nodded her head at him and looked down at her knees, “He said I couldn’t hang out with other guys as long as I am with him but I told him I loved you like a brother and you’ve been with me since I was ten but he didn’t care. He called me a whore because-”
“WHAT!?”
She looked up from her knees with the sudden loudness and gave him a sad nod, “Yeah...”
“He called you a whore, where is he? I’ll fuck him up-”
“Kookie, please don’t...I honestly don’t know what to do...I love him and I love you...” 
Jungkook looked at her and sat there with a frown. He knew how much she loved Namjoon and he didn’t want to be the reason they broke up. He just turned eighteen and he didn’t want the weight of that on his shoulders. He sighed and looked at her with a frown, “Then let's stop being friends to make things easier.” 
She stared at him with shocked eyes when she saw the piercing on his lip and the tattoos going up and down his arm. This wasn’t the same Jungkook she knew when she was younger. He put his hand out to her and she looked down at the hand and then back at him with wide eyes, “Jung-Jungkook?”
“Yeah it's me noona...why are you crying?” 
She placed her hand in his large hand and he pulled her up from the ground. She wiped her bottom off and looked back at him as she wiped her eyes again, “I...I don’t know how to explain it because it's a long story...but I guess long story short, Namjoon fired me, took the job that was supposed to be mine and on top of that, he broke up with me...god I’m such a mess, I’m sorry.” 
Jungkook shook his head and brought her into his chest as he rubbed her back like how he used to do when they were younger, “Noona, it's okay...I’m sorry I left you that day. I knew he was bad for you but I was still a kid-” 
“Don’t blame yourself, it's my fault, okay?” 
They stood there in each other's arms until Jungkook let her go and looked down at her with a smile, “Do you want to come back to my apartment? I’ll make you warm milk, the way you used to make it.”
She gave him a sad smile and nodded her head. The two quickly made their way through the dance floor, doing her best to hide her face from everyone because she couldn’t face anyone at the moment. She was met with a black BMW and it shocked her to see him driving such a car at his age. He turned around and gave her a small smirk, “I’m not the same little boy you knew, noona.”
“I can see that...”
He opened the door for her and she carefully entered the car as she watched him move to the driver side. She smiled at him as the car started and he turned on the heater for her, “Before we go, I have a roommate and he has a dog. Fair warning, okay.” 
“Okay...”
The drive there was a comfortable silence as Y/N stared outside the window processing what happened to her just now. Everything felt slow and she couldn’t believe what the hell just happened to her. If she was being honest, she was more upset that she lost her job than losing Namjoon. She worked her whole life to get this job and now it's gone before her eyes because of pure jealousy. The car stopped and she was snapped out of her trance and saw the tall building before her. Jungkook opened the door and helped her out of the car, “You like? I work for a company and I get paid well.”
“I’m so proud of you Kookie.” 
“I mean my roommate did help me get this place but that's besides the point.” 
She let out a small laugh and he gave the keys to the valet who gave them a wide smile. Jungkook opened the door for her and the two walked through the glamorous lobby. She looked around with wide eyes as she saw statues along the walls and crystals hanging down the ceiling. This place was the same place that you would see in K-dramas, she felt out of place if she was being honest. They made their way to the elevator and her eyes widened when she watched him push the top button, “oh my god, you live on the top floor?”
“Isn’t it cool! This one time though, we accidentally dropped a water bottle when we were out on the balcony…we were fined but no one was hurt.”
She laughed at this and nodded her head, “So, your roommate…how long have you known them?”
As the elevator moved up, he turned towards with his bunny smile that she remembered when she was younger, “I’ve known him since college.” 
“That’s nice, I’m glad you made friends in college. That makes me happy.”
“Thank you noona.”
The elevator stopped and the two walked towards the door and as he pulled out his keys the front door opened. Her eyes widened when she saw the man at the park standing before her with a confused look, “Y/N?”
“Tae?” 
Jungkook looked between the two with wide eyes and excitement in his eyes, “Taehyung, you know Y/N.”
Y/N let out a surprised cough and looked at Tae or Taehyung with her pointing her finger, “Your Kim Taehyung?”
Taehyung sighed at this and rubbed his forehead, “How about we come in and talk about this before even more  confusion happens.”
She nodded her head at this and looked at Jungkook with wide eyes, “You work at Stardust?”
“Yup, I’m a producer.”
She nodded her head as she stood there in pure shock, what the hell is this night? They moved into their living room and she sat on the expensive leather couch. She looked between Taehyung and Jungkook and she couldn’t say anything because of how shocked she was. Taehyung let out a small sigh and gave her a small smile, “Neh, Y/N…sorry for lying to you about my name.”
“No, no…it’s okay. I understand why you did it. It’s just a small world if I’m being honest.”
He raised his eyebrow and looked at her with curious eyes, “Oh why is that?”
“My com-my ex-company was going to make a deal with you next month…I was the COO but now I’m just…yeah.”
“Wait your Y/N L/N? The Y/N L/N?”
She raised her eyebrow and looked at Jungkook who shrugged his shoulders. She looked back at him and nodded her head, “Yes, I’m Y/N L/N…why?”
“I’ve been trying to recruit you for my company for years but it never went through,” he got up from the couch and walked towards her grabbing her hands into his large ones. Her face turned red and kneeled down on one knee making her tilt her head at him, “Will you work for my company?” 
Her mouth dropped at him and gave him a shocked look, “Ehhh!!?? You want me to work for you? I don’t have my résumé-”
“I don’t need it. I’ve admired your work for years and how well you produce all the shows you have under your belt, I don’t need a résumé. You’re amazing.”
Her face turned red and looked away from his dark brown eyes to look at the tan wall to calm her heart down, “Really?”
“Of course, the way you produceded DNA! It was amazing, honestly my favorite.”
She looked back at him and saw how sincere he was and gave him a gentle smile, “Okay, I’ll work with you…but what position?” 
He smiled at this and stood up from the floor to bring her into a tight hug. She stood there frozen at the shock and then a moment later she wrapped her arms around his waist. He pulled away and put his arms on her shoulders giving her a wide smile, “I’m so excited to work with you Y/N. You’ll be my COO from now on.”
“Same…”
“I’m still here noona!”
“Shut up Jungkook, this is my moment.” 
Tumblr media
A week later, Y/N found herself in Taehyung’s office talking about a future show that he wanted to do. It’s been a week and everything changed for her. Jungkook found out what happened with Namjoon and immediately went to her old apartment and ruined all his clothes. He also stole his computer system because why not. Taehyung convinced her to move in with them until she found a place and who was she to say no. Namjoon sent all her things to the apartment and she was even more annoyed when she saw documents missing from her folders. She told everything to Taehyung and he listened to her, something she wasn’t used to. He asked her if he should sue him for stealing documents and she jokingly said yes but what she didn’t know won’t hurt her. 
She told him how all the meetings she had planned were canceled because of Namjoon’s doings and he was shocked at how far someone went to ruin another person’s life. He was angry at her ex’s behavior and she couldn’t understand why he felt so strongly about it. He cared for her but even he couldn’t understand why he felt so strongly. It’s only been a week and he already felt attached to her. Jungkook told him that he had a crush on the older girl but he ignored this, for now. 
Taehyung explained to her that he had a breakthrough with a famous American film studio and he was having trouble filling in the blanks. Y/N was shocked to hear that an American film studio wanted to work with a Korean company. Even she couldn’t get that opportunity at her old job.
Speaking of her old job, when Hannah found out that Y/N was fired, she left the company and joined Stardust. She was annoyed that Namjoon did this and in a week things were already in flames. Hannah explained that Namjoon canceled all the shows that were almost finished which caused an influx of negative reviews from viewers. He explained that he had to do this to start fresh but Y/N saw this as him being childish. Jungkook was annoyed at this because one of his favorite shows was canceled and he called in to complain about it. 
“Y/N-ah, I think we should have this script sent to the Americans. What do you think?”
She snapped out of her thoughts and took the packet out of his hands. She looked at the cover and she raised her eyebrow,  Lovers At Night. She read the synopsis and her face turned red, Jung Chaewon gets hired at Rainbow Halo Studios as the new COO. She meets her new boss Park Jo and is shocked to realize that he was the same guy she had a one night stand with a week ago. She hope he doesn’t remember her but she can’t deny the sexual tension between the two. Will they go further or will they crumble? 
She looked up at him, who was giving her a boxy smile and raised his eyebrow, “So, what do we think?”
“I think this will do wonders in America and here in Korea.” 
“Oh? You think we should broadcast it here as well?”
She nodded her head and handed the script back to him, “Imagine, you have it only playing in America. People in Korea will find it annoying and they will pay the American studio instead of paying you your full price. If you had the American studio as well as your studio to release this, you can make a fortune and get twice as much viewership. People will grow interested in your work which will help the future.” 
“You think so? Jungkook and I wrote this script and I thought it was good…Hearing you say that gives me confidence.”
“Neh, Taehyung…are you scared of making this deal final?” 
He nodded his head and got up from his chair and as he walked around his desk, Y/N couldn’t take her eyes off of his handsome face. He sat next to her and this caused her to snap out of her trance and looked at his face normally, “This would be my biggest deal yet…I haven’t heard any other company get this opportunity and I just don’t want to mess it up…” 
She nodded her head and placed her hand on his knee, rubbing it gently, “I understand that but I believe in you…I believe in us.”
He looked at her and gave her the smile that made her heart flutter and nodded his head, “You always know what to say. You're truly an angel.”
“I wouldn’t say an angel..”
“Oh? Are you the devil in disguise then?”
She swallowed her spit when she saw how intense his stare got and nodded her head, “I’m whatever you think I am…” 
“Really? That’s good to hear,” he leaned forward until she felt his hot breath against her ear making her shiver with anticipation. He gently blew into her ear causing a small moan to leave her lips and this made him smirk. He leaned away and got up from his chair, heading to the door. She blinked her eyes and turned around with a shocked expression.
“Tae-Taehyung?”
He turned his head and gave her a smirk and a wink, “I’ll see you later at the meeting.” 
She watched him leave his office and she looked down at her feet with wide eyes, “What the hell just happened?”
Unknowing to her, Taehyung ran to the bathroom to splash some water on his face. He looked up to see Jungkook pissing away at the urinal looking at him with a raised eyebrow, “is everything-”
“Shut up.”
“I didn’t even finish what I was going to say.”
“Okay and?”
Y/N quickly made her way to her office and slapped her face gently, “It’s only been a week, Y/N. Get yourself together.” 
And that’s exactly what Y/N did. The meeting with the Americans went so well that they wanted to speak on having an exclusive context with Stardust. She smiled at this and next thing she knew, she was on the plan with Taehyung and Jungkook to help produce the movie the following day. During the flight, Y/N posted on their social media a sneak peak of what to come and it became trending in an hour on Twitter. She knew that Namjoon had to see it at one point and that’s all she wanted to happen. She imagined his glare and his little tantrum and honestly it made her smile. 
Y/N was changing into her pajamas after the long flight when she heard a soft knock on her door. She raised her eyebrow but went towards it anyway. She opened the door and there stood Taehyung with a bag of something.
“I thought you would be sleeping like Jungkook is. Is everything okay?”
He scratched the back of his neck and nodded his head, “I bought some chicken, I thought we could share it. Unless you're going to bed then I’ll leave you alone.”
She smiled at him and opened her door wider, “No, I would love to eat some chicken with you.”
He gave her a quick smile and walked into her room and placed the bag on the bed. He cracked his back and Y/N watched him lean back slightly. She couldn’t help but stare at the little peak of his tummy and how his neck looked good while stretching.
“It’s just plain chicken tenders but the sauces sounded interesting, is that okay?”
She snapped out of her stare off and nodded her head, “That’s okay,” she walked up to her bed and sat down while Taehyung continued to stand. She tilted her head at this and she gently patted her bed, giving him the green light to sit. He took his shoes and sat on the bed and it was clear to her that he was nervous, “Taehyung, are you okay?” 
“Yeah, I’m…I’m nervous for tomorrow. You know we’re in Las Angeles and it’s a new environment. Yeah.”
She let out a small laugh and opened the white box in excitement, “Are you trying to convince yourself or me?”
“Both.”
She grabbed a chicken tender and dipped in one of the sauces. She brought it up to his mouth and gave him a smile, “Don’t be so nervous. I told you, I believe in us.”
He took a bite of the chicken and nodded his head at her, “I do too, it’s just this my first time away from home. This is all new to me.”
“Even though it’s all new, it’s exciting. It’s showing a world that you never thought you would have. It’s a new step for you and your company.”
“Yeah, I know but that doesn’t mean I can’t be a little scared. Especially since we’re going to be here for two months.”
“That’s true. I guess it’s going to happen no matter what. Just know that I’m excited.” 
He nodded his hand and looked down to see her hand on her thigh. He gently took her hand into his and they both stared at each other, “Thank you…you gave me confidence to go forward with this and I value your opinion so much.” 
She laced her fingers with his and gave him a shy smile, “Do you mean that?” 
“One hundred percent. Ever since you spoke at our college…I always admired you.”
“Oh wow, that was when I was twenty- three maybe twenty four…I remember that day. I was so nervous because I thought I was so young to be speaking about success and Namjoon wasn’t making it easier. He was angry with me because I didn’t show him my speech and he didn’t have a say on what I said. A few minutes before I went on stage, we got into a fight. He tried to throw away my speech and I begged him not to but he said he wanted to add some things to it. I let him because he didn’t really give me a choice…everything he changed, I didn’t like. I just went with my original speech and it went well, he hated that. That night when we got home, he tossed my speech away and he walked away from me…it was horrible. I’m glad someone liked my speech.”
He shook his head and grabbed both of her hands making her look at him with wide eyes, “You didn’t deserve that. You're capable of doing things on your own. You're intelligent and talented, the only person that couldn’t see that was him.”
She gave him a smile when he said this, feeling her heart flutter at every word. She leaned forward and gave him a kiss on his cheek, “Thank you, Tae. No one has ever made me feel that confident with myself…”
“I’ll always be here to make you confident…always.” 
That night made Taehyung and Y/N closer than ever. She was shocked at how much he valued her opinion and he was shocked that she couldn’t see why he valued it. A week quickly turned into a month and the three of them were as busy as ever. They helped pick out actors for the movie and helped look at sets, it’s been a hectic month. She barely had any alone time with Taehyung and she was actually craving it at this point. At the same time, she was getting messages and emails from Namjoon asking her about how to do things. This annoyed her and all she did was block him but he somehow kept sending her new messages. She didn’t tell Jungkook or Taehyung because she didn’t want to ruin the atmosphere with her personal life. She wanted everything to go smoothly.
She walked out of another meeting and she sighed to herself. Another meeting, another day she didn’t see Taehyung. She missed him but at least they had small moments together like this morning, he brought her breakfast and kissed her forehead. It was sweet of him to do so. She walked down the hallway and the person that had been on her mind was sitting in the waiting room, talking to someone. She got excited but the excitement quickly went away when she saw a beautiful girl with long black hair leaning against his shoulder laughing with him. She stopped herself from waving at him and looked away from the scene before it hurt her even more. She had no say on what he did with his life but it hurt even more when she realized she could do the same thing and he probably wouldn’t care. She lowered her head down, making sure her hair covered her face and made her way through the small lobby but of course Taehyung knew what she was wearing that day.
“Y/N!”
She stopped in her tracks and turned around to give him a fake smile. Praying that he didn’t notice her fakeness, “Hey, Taehyung...Do you have a meeting?”
He nodded his head and shoved his hands in his pocket, “I have a meeting with the set director and a script reading with Jungkook. How was your meeting?” 
“It was boring but that's normal,” She glanced behind him and saw the girl on her phone, texting away and looking back at Taehyung, “Who is that?” 
He looked behind him and gave her a smile, “Oh, that's Naomi. She's my cousin visiting the sets with us today.”
Her eyes brightened at this and she let out an excited sigh, “Really?” 
“Yeah, why? Did you think otherwise?” 
Her face turned red and she shook her head, “No, no. I was just asking to make sure...I was making sure if she was part of the crew or something, like if I needed to talk to her. That kinda thing...When’s your meeting?” 
He let out a small laugh and nodded his head at her rumbles, “My meeting is in an hour, let me walk you out.” 
She nodded her head as he gently grabbed her hand and laced his fingers through hers. She glanced down at the hand and smiled to herself. She leaned her head against his arm as they made their way down the long hall. The two didn’t say anything but they knew they didn’t have to say anything at the moment. When they approached the lobby door, he let go of her hand and gave her a sad smile, “Tonight, I’m going to be busy with paperwork...I was thinking tomorrow you and I could have dinner together. Just us.” 
She gave him a shy smile and nodded her head, “I would love that.”
He gave her his signature boxy smile and leaned down giving her a kiss on her forehead. She felt her heart flutter again and he tucked some of her hair behind her ear, “I’ll see you later. Remember you can text me whenever. Bye.”
“Bye, bye.”
She watched him leave and she stood there until his figure was out of sight. In the back of her head she let out a small scream because she finally secured a day with Taehyung. It was going to be perfect. She walked into the lobby with a skip in her step but she stopped when she saw him sitting on the couch reading a magazine. She quickly hid behind a pillar and her heart started to beat fast. Why was he there? She took her phone out of her pocket and she called the one person that came to mind to give her security.
“Y/N?”
“Tae, are you in the meeting?” 
“No, it got delayed...Is everything okay?”
“Can you come to the hotel? I know it's a lot but umm, Namjoon is here..”
“What? I’ll be here in three minutes.” 
She continued to stand there clenching the front of her shirt as she stared down at her shoes. It was until she heard heavy breathing in front of her. She looked up with wide eyes and saw Taehyung leaning on his knees breathing heavily, “Taehyung? Did you really run? You didn’t have to run, oh my god, are you-”
“Y/N, are you okay?”
She glanced away and slowly nodded her head, “I’m sorry I called...I panicked. I wasn’t expecting to see him here...”
“He’s probably here because the American studio likes to have meetings with different companies. I don’t think he’s going to get anything because he's only been a CEO for a month.”
She nodded her head at this and took a deep breath, “I’m sorry I called...I can-”
“Loop your arm through mine.”
She raised her eyebrow but slowly nodded her head. She did what he told her and he moved her away from the pillar. They continued to make their way and the moment Namjoon placed the magazine down on the coffee table, their eyes met. He looked at her with shock but it quickly turned into irritation. He got up from the couch and slowly made his way towards them, making her stiff but Taehyung didn’t show any reaction. He raised his eyebrow as Namjoon was standing before him with his arms crossed looking at Y/N.
“Can I help you?” 
Namjoon scoffed at Taehyung’s tone and glared at Y/N, “Why are you here? Running away from Korea?” 
She scoffed at this and returned the glare, “No, the fact you think I would run away because of you is sad.” 
“Sad? There’s no other reason why you would be here.”
“We’re actually producing a show here. It’s going to be on Netflix as well as special Korean channels.”
Namjoon raised his eyebrow and looked at Taehyung with confusion, “Producing? Who are you?” 
“I’m Kim Taehyung, the person that canceled our meeting and hired your former COO. She was the one that got us this deal.”
Namjoon glanced back down at Y/N who gave him a smirk, “Who would listen to her?”
“People with ears and taste. How many meetings did you need to get here? We only needed one. I also heard about the negative reviews, that must be hard for a new CEO.” 
He crossed his arms at this and rolled his eyes, “Don’t flatter yourself, it doesn’t do anything for you.” 
“Are we done here? I have to take my girlfriend back to our hotel room to get ready for our date.” 
She looked at Taehyung with a small smile and her face turned a light red color, “Good luck at your meeting, you need it.” 
The two walked away and the moment they entered the elevator, Y/N started giggling to herself, “That felt so good, thank you, Taehyung.” 
“No problem...You know. I wouldn’t mind, if you were my girlfriend.”
Her head snapped at him and raised his eyebrow at him, “You meant it...”
“I did. I mean if you want that is... Also I need you to sign some paperwork.”
“Paperwork? For the show?”
“No, for the lawyers. I told you I was going to sue him for stealing your documents. I’ll take everything away from him just like he did with you.”
Her mouth dropped and looked at him with shock, “Tae? You would do that for me?” 
“I told you, I would do anything for you.”
The moment he said this, Y/N pulled Taehyung into a passionate kiss and turned her head to give him everything she had in that moment. His eyes widened but he closed his eyes and returned the kiss just as hard as she did. When they pulled away, she gave him a shy smile and hid her face in his shirt and he automatically wrapped his arms around her waist, “I’m sorry for that...” 
“Don't be sorry for something I wanted.” 
She looked up with wide eyes and gave him a shy smile, “You wanted to kiss me?”
“Yes, oh my god you have no idea. I’ve been thinking about it since you kissed my cheek.” 
“That’s good to hear...don’t you have a meeting soon?”
He glanced at his watch and then back at her, “In forty minutes but I want to stay like this...” 
She smiled at this and nuzzled her head into his chest with a smile, “I want to stay like this too...” 
Tumblr media
After that day, Y/N and Taehyung were together. She hadn't told anyone yet because he wanted to take it slow and she respected that. A week later, the head director called her in for a quick meeting about becoming partners with someone. She entered the office and gave him a small morning, “Good morning, Mr. Brown.”
“Good morning, Ms. L/N. Sorry about this meeting, it was unplanned but it will be quick.”
She shook her head and sat in the chair across from him with a small smile, “It’s fine, who is the company you want to partner up with?”
“I was looking through documents and, Hybe, wanted to partner up with this movie. I wanted to discuss it with you because you're the main producer and it's your movie.”
“Hybe requested to work with us?”
Mr. Brown nodded his head and took a sip of his coffee, “He requested it at our meeting yesterday and I was shocked that he asked. I was going to tell him no but I wanted to hear your thoughts on this because it's your project.”
She nodded her head at this and took a deep sigh, “I don’t think they would be a good company to have as a partner. I saw that he canceled four shows at once without sending any notice to the public and it caused many viewers to be angry. They sent emails and phone calls and rumor has it that he deleted all the messages because people were tweeting about how they were never answered. I don’t think it would look good on us if we accepted his partnership.” 
Mr. Brown nodded his head and put some paper in a folder and gave Y/N a smile, “I got a bad feeling from him because of how desperate he was. It was really concerning.” 
“There was another report that they lost two million dollars in the month he was in charge. Another report that was from a former employee, she stated that he would cancel meetings at random and didn’t tell anyone about it. I think you should keep your distance from him because of these reports.”
“Thank you, Y/N. I’ll let my team know to flag that company to make sure they will never work with us in the future. Hopefully he will step down to save this company. Thank you for this meeting, we’ll see you next week to finalize the script and filming schedule.”
“One would hope so. Thank you sir.”
She left the room and she smirked to herself. She hoped that this was the final nail in the coffin for Namjoon. It’s something that would destroy the company and his name in the long run. She couldn’t ask for anything better to happen. She walked back to the hotel and she smiled when she saw Taehyung waiting for her in the lobby. She walked up to him and he looked when he heard footsteps. When he saw it was her, he gave her a soft smile and stood up from the coach. He wrapped his arms around her waist and leaned forward and gave her a kiss on the forehead, “How was the meeting?”
“It was the best meeting I have ever had.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, it’s going to make everything better for us. I guess I like to do charity work”
All her life she did what Namjoon wanted her to do even though it was something she didn’t want. She never stood up for herself towards him and now she felt powerful. She finally had her life in her hands and she would never let someone take that away from her. No one is going to stop her and she wouldn’t let them stop her. 
Baby, you're the man. But I got the, I got the, I got the power. You make rain, but I make it, I make it, I make it shower. You should know, I'm the one who's in control. I'll let you come take the wheel, long as you don't forget. Who got the power, I got the, I got the power.

WIP Wednesday 6/9/2021 Wedding Roses Chapter 3
Hey lovely Lovebugs! It’s time for our favorite time of the week. WIP Wednesday! And today the lovely Lovebug community is going to get a sneak preview of the third and final chapter of Wedding Roses. So exciting!
As usual please excuse some roughness because I have yet to edit this. Also note that I may take a bit longer to finish this because it is the main event and I want to give my 110%. You Lovebugs have been the most amazing reader base and you guys deserve my very best.
Also special thanks to @renee561 because she was the one who commented on my old preview from 2020 where Luka proposes to Marinette. If not for her kind comment I never would’ve published Wedding Roses in the first place. Give her a shout out!
Without further ado.
Luka and the boys slept soundly either on the floor, the couch, or in Luka's case the best bed in the room.
Nino was the first to open his eyes.
"What time is it?" He whispered.
"6:30-ish. Great!"
Nino was contemplating sleeping for a little bit longer or waking up the groom but then Ivan let out a yawn and stretched his arms.
Nino was a bit worried both of them up would get Luka to abruptly awake but Ivan quietly went to the kitchen area and opened the fridge door as quietly as he could to get some orange juice, where Nino silently pleaded for a glass himself.
Nino thought for a moment about how the wedding was at 11 am and felt the guys could use a cup of coffee and prepared the coffee maker. He quietly argued with Ivan if this was a good idea but Nino said the earlier everyone woke up the better.
But Kim was still snoring with the happy sleeping look on his face. Eventually Adrien and Max opened their eyes and Adrien saw how happy Luka looked asleep, as if he was having a beautiful dream.
Adrien quietly got off the bed smelling coffee from the kitchen area. He saw Kim snoring soundly and looked at Max and Max whispered in Kim's ear to try to gently wake him up.
"Good morning Adrien," Nino whispered as he handed Adrien some coffee.
"Thanks Nino," Adrien said.
Adrien, Nino, and Ivan saw Kim with his arms around Max. Hugging him as if he were a teddy bear.
"Kim! Let me go!" Max cried. "Now isn't the time."
Nino and Adrien quickly but quietly ran to Kim and Max trying to set Max free. They didn't want to wake up the peaceful groom.
When Nino yanked Max away from him. Kim's eyes opened and first thing he saw was Adrien on top of him and Nino holding Max in his arms like a scared cat.
"Huh?" Kim cried. "What happened?"
Then they heard the sound of familiar chuckling.
The blue haired man was wide awake and stared at the four guys in their moment. Luka tried to hide his laughter with his hand over his mouth.
"Did I miss something?" Luka said.
"You missed nothing Luka, we wouldn't try to have fun without you," Max said.
Nino tried to compose himself of this awkward school boy moment and placed Max on one of the arm chairs. 
Adrien rolled off of Kim. "Morning Kim!" Adrien cried. "I hope you slept well last night but we have a big day today, of course!"
Adrien was frantically shaking off his embarrassment. Ivan came in and gave a cup of coffee and a glass of orange juice to Luka.
"I need some bean juice too! I need all the energy I can get for the event of the year!" Kim cried. 
And Kim ran to the kitchen like a football player.
Luka sipped his coffee. "Ok everyone, let's take a moment to mentally prepare. Just because this is an important even doesn't mean we have to stress."
The boys nodded and then they all dressed and got ready to go to venue, then there was a knock on the door.
"A visitor?" Adrien said.
Ivan took it upon himself to open the door but the person at the door sounded awfully familiar. She was being loud regardless of other hotel guests.
"Ahoy M'harties!" Cried a voice.
"Mom?" Luka said.
Ivan opened the door and Captain Couffaine did not waste any time coming in. She was in a bit more fancier pirate attire for weddings and she held a basket filled with baked goods.
"Morning Captain Couffaine!" The boys said in unison.
"Morning maties!" Captain Couffaine said.
"Hey mom," Luka said. "I am glad you are finally here."
Captain Couffaine was close to tears seeing her son all grown up on his wedding day.
"Oh my handsome son!" Captain Couffaine cried.
Captain Couffaine flung the basket to the side which Kim caught. Kim was taken aback but he and the others also had yet to have breakfast so he already took a muffin for himself.
Captain Couffaine wrapped her arm around her son and played with his blue hair with her other hand.
"You are growing up so fast! I am so happy for you!"
Luka smiled. "I couldn't be happier being surrounded by the people I love."
After the hugging Captain Couffaine got up and asserted herself.
"Anyway, I came here to make sure you scallywags woke up on time for the wedding...But I see you boys are ahead of schedule. Good good!"
Luka smiled and rolled his eyes. "I wouldn't miss marrying Marinette for the world mom."
Adrien and Nino placed their hands on Luka's shoulders. "We wouldn't miss it for the world!"
"And Mr. Dupain asked me to deliver these pastries to you boys so you could eat breakfast," said the Captain.
Kim was already on his second muffin and the boys "ooo!!!" in excitement. Adrien himself loved Mr. Dupain's pastries. He grabbed two croissants and snagged a blueberry muffin for Luka.
Luka sighed thinking about the blueberry muffins Marinette makes for him.
"So eat quickly then we set sail for the venue, chop chop gentleman!" Said the captain.
The boys were stuffing themselves in Dupain-Cheng pastries moaning in pleasure.
"I can trust you boys to moshpit my son to the venue in style." Said the captain.
The boys with crumbs still on them all shot up and saluted. "Ma'am yes ma'am!"
Luka choked on his muffin for a moment. "This is a hotel!" He cried. "Not a music show."
Kim and Nino chuckled. "Don't worry Captain! With all of us Luka will glide to the venue like a superhero!" Kim said.
Ivan flexed his muscles as well.
Luka managed to laugh a little and Adrien placed his hand on Luka's shoulder. "Hey, it could be fun Luka."
Luka finished eating and the boys ate until they were stuffed for now. Luka and the others made sure they were dressed to go outside and Luka got everyone's attention.
"Alright, I am ready to head to the venue dressing room with you guys. Someone make sure to text the girls so we don't bump into eachother," Luka said.
"Already texted Alya," Nino said with phone in hand.
Captain Couffaine smiled. "All ready to go full steam ahead into marriage eh?"
Captain Couffaine got out her plastic Sword and pointed it to destination.
"Get ready to hoist my son to destination gentleman."
The boys saluted. "Ma'am! Yes ma'am!"
The boys circled around Luka and Luka rolled his eyes.
"Guys can we walk down gently guys?"
The boys gave devious smiles.
"No way Luka it's time for a mosh pit!" Nino cried.
"Mosh pit!!!" Kim yelled.
Luka let out one last "oh no!" Before the guys grabbed him like a coffin.
Luka flailed slightly. "Wait! My guitar!" He cried.
"I got it!" Max cried. And he was right behind the boys guitar case in hand as Nino, Adrien, Kim, and Ivan rushed Luka out mosh pit style.
"Here comes the groom! Here comes the groom!" They all sang as they ran down the hall.
Luka knew his friends were having fun but he was a relatively tall guy and he didn't want to get injured before the wedding. After much exhilaration Luka sat up and gasped as they approached an elevator.
"Guys! The elavator!" Luka cried.
"Don't worry Luka we were special trained for this!" Kim cried.
Nino let go and pressed the button for the elevator door. Since Kim was the most muscular guy he held Luka over the shoulder and all of the guys got in the elevator.
"See, were making sure we would take extra care not to hurt you before the wedding!" Ivan said.
Luka felt his head starting to spin. And then the elevator was about to land on the ground floor.
"Get ready for the next mosh pit guys!" Nino cried.
And then all the guys lifted Luka like a surfboard waiting to be used on the waves, while singing another round of "Here comes the Groom!"
Thankfully Marinette and the girls weren't here to see this, but quite a few wedding guests got to witness guitarist Luka Couffaine being whisked to the altar by his friends.
A few kids made comments to their parents about a guy being kidnapped.
Author’s note: Guys will be guys amirite? Haha! Sorry everyone, I know this was sophmoric but when I first wrote this chapter back in 2020 I wanted to write a humorous scene.
Sorry this preview only had the guys but I love writing them, Kim is my handsome son! And it is nice to write Luka as more than just Marinette’s love interest.
And it felt so good to finally be writing Anarka! Oh my gosh she is so cool and I totally imagined her getting the guys group to mosh pit Luka to the wedding venue lol!
So anyways, I will see all of you when this chapter will get published. I promise all of you it will be worth it and then some. I may have to do some extra research on wedding dresses, sounds like loads of fun!
Then again I am on my Lukanette writing high so who knows maybe I will be so busy writing that this may come out sooner...Anyway see you then!
This is Emiko Gale signing out!

CM: Wait a minute, geez.
(T/N: LMAO me as a worker)
CM: But you said you're really busy lately.
-I guess you have some time to be calling, how's today?
EJ: Yeah, I found some time between a business meeting.
EJ: In any case, keep the fact that we're dating a secret from the others for now. I don't want them to get overly involved for no reason.
CM: Okay, okay.
EJ: Have you been busy with work lately?
CM: Me?
CM: I'm upset. I thought I'd work here and have some eye candy,
CM: but it's just sweaty, noisy... It's only old men and women.

Of Books and Dirty Cash pt. 12
You can also read part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18
Librarian/gangster!Au
Yoongi x Reader
Before you moved to live on campus for college, you had never heard of a librarian who had a reputation for yelling. But not only does Min Yoongi yell, he’s also dangerous, and part of something much, much darker. When curiosity gets the better of you, you end up involved in much more than you bargained for.
Yoongi took a deep breath, glancing at Hoseok who appeared to have passed out. He was snoring lightly, and his peaceful expression didn’t seem to match the fact that he was still sprawled out on the carpeted floor.
You sat with the blanket still wrapped around your shoulders and the icepack pressed against your cheek. Part of you wanted to call someone, cry into the phone about everything that had happened, but no matter who you called it would probably result in police involvement, and that probably wasn’t the best idea.
“I don’t know how much you’ve been told, or how much you’ve figured out on your own… I guess I’ll start at the beginning.” 
You nodded as Yoongi sat in an armed chair near you, rubbing his eyes. “I was taken in by Mr. Kim—don’t ask me what his first name was, no one knows—when I was about five, after my parents died.”
“I’m sorry.” You said instinctively.
Yoongi snorted. “Don’t be, they were terrible people. All of us here,” He gestured around the room, and you assumed he meant all of the other men you had seen in the house. “We were all on our own before Mr. Kim took us in. He was a good person—I mean, he did a lot of bad things, but he had a good heart in his own way. In return for giving us a good home, we were expected to take over Bantan—the mafia he was the leader of—after his death. We were all supposed to have years more of training—”
“Wait.” You blinked. “You were adopted by a mafia boss?”
The corner of Yoongi’s mouth turned up, and he breathed a slight laugh. “When you say it like that, it sounds ridiculous.” You nodded, thinking that it sounded rather ridiculous the way Yoongi had said it too, but didn’t press the matter.
“And Seokjin?” You asked. “I thought he was your brother?”
“Not by blood,” Yoongi said. “But we are brothers. All of us are.”
“Each of us had an area of Bangtan that we were supposed to inherit, with Namjoon as the official leader. But we were all so young when Mr. Kim died…” His voice trailed off for a moment. “Some people were loyal to us, because it was Mr. Kim’s wish, even though Namjoon was only eighteen at the time. Others, like Jaebum and those who follow him, didn’t see Namjoon as a fit leader. So they left Bangtan.”
You remembered what Jackson had told you, about having to choose sides. “They could do that? Just…Leave?” You had always been under the impression that once you were in the mafia, you were part of it for life.
Yoongi shook his head. “Not really, but they had enough of their own support that it was pointless. So much was happening, and it got bad. Fast.” Yoongi looked at his hands, and Hoseok snored particularly loud. Yoongi gave him a look before continuing. “Eventually, it became clear that both sides were losing too many people. There was a ceasefire, and an agreement was made with rules. The city was split in half, their side and ours, civilians were not to be involved, and neither side could directly harm the other. It worked for a while.”
It was all starting to make sense, and you nodded despite feeling completely overwhelmed by all of the information you were taking in.
“As soon as things calmed down, I was out. This life means too many sacrifices, and I thought I could walk away from it. Hell, I thought I had until Seokjin showed up a few weeks ago.”
“Why didn’t you go further away?” You asked, your voice sounding small to your own ears. “If everything is here, and you didn’t want to be part of it, why not leave?” You weren’t judging him, just trying to understand.
“Because he’s a softie who worries about us.” Hoseok said, sitting up groggily. Yoongi threw a pillow at him, but it was half-hearted.
“I think that’s pretty much my story.” Yoongi said, looking down at his hands. “Now it’s your turn to explain.”
“Really Yoongi?” Hoseok said. “She’s been held hostage all day, and now you’re going to grill her for answers?�� He narrowed his eyes at you. “Do you know how many times he asked me today why you were involved in any of this? And do you know how many times I told him I don’t know?”
“I’m not grilling anyone, Hoseok. Go away!” Yoongi complained, but there was an unmistakable fondness in his eyes.
“Be nice to her, Yoongi.” Hoseok warned as he stood, somewhat unsteadily. “Or she’ll leave you for Seokjin.” Yoongi just rolled his eyes. “I’d leave you for Seokjin.” Hoseok muttered, sticking his tongue out as he left. Yoongi watched him, then sighed.
“Maybe he has a point. We can talk more in the morning. You must be exhausted.” You looked at him, really looked at him, and tried to figure out if you knew this man at all. You wanted to believe that you did. You wanted to believe that even if you didn’t, you could someday. At least he was talking to you more now.
You nodded once again and stood, lowering the icepack from your face. You shuffled closer to him as he stood as well, and he reached out and barely brushed his thumb across the bruise forming on your cheek.
“I can’t tell you how sorry I am.” He whispered.
“Yoongi?” You said, looking down at your feet.
“Hm?” He tilted his head sideways, trying to meet your eyes.
“Can I… Can I have a hug?” It sounded so childish to say out loud, but you couldn’t help it. You were so tired, and still mostly felt like crying. Yoongi smiled, but you could tell he wasn’t laughing at you.
“Of course.” He pulled you close, and for the first time that day, you felt truly safe. You could smell his cologne, and under that, the faint familiar smell of books.
“Thank you.” You said into his shoulder.
“For a hug?” He asked teasingly.
You shook your head. “For paying the ransom.”
Yoongi pulled away slightly, enough to see your face. “Actually, it was Bangtan’s money, not mine. And I may not know the whole story yet, but something tells me that they dragged you into this, so don’t worry about it.” He kissed your forehead before letting go of you.
Jimin came in shortly after, and said he would show you to the guest room. You followed him up a flight of stairs where he left you in front of a door.
“There are some clothes in the drawers.” He said. “They’ll probably be pretty big on you, but we tried.” He walked away with a wave, and you wondered if you could even find your way back out of the house if you needed to.
The room itself was huge, and even had a balcony. You felt horribly out of place as you sat on the giant four-poster bed, but when you started to lay down, something crackled from under your pillow. You felt around underneath it, and pulled out a note.
“This is far from over. Tell Min Yoongi he’s on borrowed time.”
A/N Sorry this chapter was mostly just a conversation, but I felt like it was time for some explanations! My classes start back tomorrow, so I may not be updating as regularly soon. I’m working on a request, and I hope to have it finished and posted tomorrow. <3 As always, thank you for reading! Lol, should Reader really leave Yoongi for Seokjin like Hoseok said? ;) I’m kidding, but let me know what you think! <3
