Do you know the feeling of fear? But not the ordinary fear of doing something you are actually scared of but the kind of fear when you know you are in the line of fire. When your instinct inside you is so loud like millions of small bells that warn you of the inevitable and yet, as much as you want to avoid it; you don't.


"W-what kind of rules?" I mumble and my hands once again find their way to grab his shirt.  I don't know why my body reacts that way every time he is near me but I need to stop doing it. It's not decent nor appropriate. But I just can't help myself every time I feel his presence. "I might have to say it many times Miele, but I'm the first, last, and only man you'll come across and be like that. So listen carefully because if you want everything to go well between us then I would advise you to obey these three simple rules."

"One, I don't follow orders, others follow mine and if someone dares to boss me around, they are fired."

"Two, I want the job I assign to be done when I require it. A moment later."

"And lastly, I don't trust you or any other woman, that's why there are almost no women working for me. Make sure not to mess this up if you want everything to go well."

"Capeesh?"

"Y-yes, sir." Our proximity reached another level. I can feel his caramel breath hitting my nostrils. My whole inner world shakes and my heart is throbbing inside of me. If I didn't know it was impossible I would swear I had a disco ball inside of me. 

Two years might not be enough for a blind person to move around comfortably but I've come to a point where I can read people and what they emit. But Jeon Jungkook provokes yet bewilders me and I don't know what to say or how to act around him. It's terrifying how an unknown person enters your life and has the power to control you so much without actually doing anything specific.

"You can leave now. Jin is waiting outside to lead you to your new office. Not that it's very far from mine. Right next to mine to be more specific but you can never be sure with someone like you." His words are full of venom. But after the accident, I've done a lot of progress to improve my self-esteem so getting under my skin won't be an issue assignment. Not for Mr. Jeon and not for anyone else. "Mr. Kim?" I ask.

"Yeah, whatever." He answers and goes back to his seat. I can finally feel my body relax to the sound of his chair moving to signal he is far away from me. I didn't realize how tense I was until I felt my breathing calming down and my arms relaxing. For my shake, I should get out of this austere office. "R-right...Thank you again, Mr. Jeon and I'm sorry." Is the last thing I say before I step out of that room. But before the door shuts, a " Sorry will be the last thing to leave your mouth, Miele. " is heard faintly.


I don't know if he is doing it on purpose or not but ever since the first time in his office he keeps calling me Miele as if he doesn't know that my name is Lily. And what does Miele even mean? I have never heard this name before. Is it even English?

"Hello, Miss Whitelock." Jin woke me up from the frustrated thoughts and showed me the way to my office. It's strange how two partners own such a big company and run it so successfully but they are completely different people. Mr. Kim was so kind to me the entire time of my 'tour' to the office he didn't even once make me uncomfortable or intimidated and he helped whenever I had a problem with finding things. While Mr. Jeon is well. . . , Mr. Jeon. I haven't come across any word that describes him best yet but for now, the only thing I can say is that he is completely intimidating, cynical, and entirely unnerving.


But even that is not close enough to characterize him. Even those words look powerless beside him.

As much as my head couldn't stop thinking about him and his action I tried to concentrate on my work and the purpose I came here for. With the help of technology and Siri, I managed to download and file away the important documents I'll need. Without even realizing how much time has passed, a knock on the door is heard and right after Mr. Kim's voice is heard. 

"I see our new employee is very engrossed and dedicated to her work, she forgot she has needs." He playfully scolds me and I let out a giggle. "Oh, haha, I'm sorry Mr. Kim. I just couldn't  do anything else if I didn't make sure I had everything organized." I let him know and state organizing some small things on my desk. "Is it some kind of an OCD I should be aware of? He asks and the only thing I can do is answer positively. "I guess you can say that. Is it weird?"

"You'd actually be surprised with the number of people having weird or not-so-weird OCDs in this office." He laughs and I join him. "Would you like to eat lunch with me? The time is almost five pm and this is definitely not lunch but what can I say? You aren't the only one engrossed with the work." Mr. Kim mumbles.

 "You are right. And I would love to. Thank you, Mr. Kim, I would actually need some help finding the cafeteria." I sheepily tell him and start getting my things. "No problem, don't even mention it. And please call me Jin when we aren't working. Besides, Mr. Kim makes me feel old and full of wrinkles. Something I'm far from, trust me." Mr. Kim- Jin informs me and we both start walking towards the cafeteria while I'm holding Jin's arm after he offered his help and I agreed. 

"And while we are there I can tell you all about the weird OCDs I've heard the last years I've been working here."
