Taehyung once again switched from twitter to his gmail app instead, his smile fading during the transition. He had read the same email at least four times, checking the time and location as if it would change whenever he saw it. That wasn't the only thing he had checked the past two hours; his appearance too.
He was dressed in a rather annoyingly tight suit which was hugging onto his skin in the worst way possible. He had stretched his arms out in front of the mirror to make sure the blazer wasn't too short on him only to discover it was.
Pretty sure I don't have to wear a suit everyday. Taehyung nodded in the mirror and ran his hand against his slicked hair. He smiled and played with the singular strand of hair draping down his forehad until it felt just right.
"Hm," He gave himself a proud look and tugged his blazer down. Once he was done admiring himself, he began to make his way out of his bathroom. He visibly cringed at the mess of his tiny room that had clothes scattered all over the place due to trying to find the shirt of his suit.
Whatever, not like I'm gonna have any visitors. Taehyung shrugged and walked over to his mini desk to pick up a clip on tie.
Jeongguk placed his phone down beside his coffee and stared at the others coffee ahead of him. He wondered if ordering for the person was a good idea or not, but he didn't have time to ask what to get him and also wanted to speed up this entire process.
Where is he? Jeongguk's knee hit the table causing the coffee to shake and spill over the edge of the cup. His phone lit up with notifications which allowed to him to see how many minutes passed. Ten minutes late.
Just as he said that, he jumped due to the chair ahead of him moving and a young man sitting down hurriedly and out of breath.
"Sorry I'm late sir, I've never been to this cafe before," The unexpectedly beautiful man bowed apologetically and nervously looked around the half empty cafe.
"No worries," Jeongguk cleared his throat, "It's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Kim, I'm glad you've applied for this position," He warmly smiled at the boy.
The fuck do I say to that? Taehyung just nodded awkwardly and began to fiddle with his blazer. He hoped that it wasn't too obvious that he was nervous.
"As you can tell I need a secretary as soon as possible, so I would like this make this interview as short as possible," Jeongguk tried to his raise his eyebrow when Taehyung suddenly jumped and clutched his blazer pocket.
Whys my phone vibrating so much? Did Iale another hit tweet? Taehyung smiled, "Yes I understand,"
"Great, so firstly how old are you? This job role is obviously for over 18," Jeongguk picked up his coffee and took a small sip of the warm drink.
"19," Taehyung replied and raised an eyebrow when Jeongguk suddenly spat into the cup and choked a little.
He's so young? "Okay, and are you in any education?" He cleared his throat and placed the cup back down.
"No, I've only got my A-levels. I took business though so that's good I think," Taehyung shrugged and leaned back on the chair with a rather bored expression.
He's very causal and informal. Jeongguk began to grow hesitant on hiring the boy, "You've worked as a secretary before this- can you tell me a little about the work you did? And how you worked under pressure?" He kept a calm down although he was getting irritated by the boys lack of manners.
"Well there wasn't any pressure because they weren't some massive company- he was some rising fashion designer and I mainly just printed contracts or handled meetings," Taehyung hummed as he tried to think of something impressive, "In the company before that I spent nights trying to convince this company to work with us so that the guy wouldn't go bankrupt,"
"And how did that work out?" Jeongguk was definitely impressed to hear that someone so young could handle situations like that.
"I like to say I succeeded- he got mad at me for being too bossy and arrogant apparently, but I landed him that great deal and basically saved his sad as- company," Taehyung stopped himself from swearing. He examined Jeongguk's reaction and prayed that the never changing expression meant well.
"Interesting," Jeongguk stared at him for a few seconds before speaking, "You do understand working for me is going to be extremely difficult, we are in a situation right now which requires you to work crazy hours and under extreme pressure,"
"Yes I understand, I actually have chronic insomnia so I can work night shift if you want," Taehyung gave him a thumbs up which he quickly put down. Why the fuck did I say that?
This guys crazy. "I see, well I'm happy to see this determination. Are you available to start tomorrow?" Jeongguk hesitated with the question at first, but the boy's experience seemed promising. He could always fire him if it didn't work out — or train him.
"Wait- I'm hired?!" Taehyung leaned forward with a parted jaw and wide eyes, a short laugh leaving him at the news.
"Yes, so can you start tomorrow?"
"Yeah! When?! 6 am?! Okay I'll be there!" Taehyung practically jumped in the chair and let out a laugh of relief. Fuck yes, I'm not gonna be broke anymore!
"10 am, let's exchange numbers so you can contact me easily if there's any problems. Do you know where our building is?" Jeongguk recalled that the boy had never been to this cafe before which wasn't that far from their company building.
"Um no, but I can just-"
"It's in this area, if you look out the window and see that tall glass building behind the trees," Jeongguk pointed out the window beside them at the tallest building in view, "That's our building. Our address is in the email I sent you so you can use that too,"
Shit half my salary is gonna be spent on travelling.
"Okay," Taehyung smiled and looked around, "Are we done? Can I go now?"
"Yes-"
"Great thanks, I have an appointment with a therapist so I gotta blast," Taehyung stood up abruptly and smiled, "See you tomorrow," he waved before making his way out of the cafe.
Jeongguk let out a frustrated sigh and pinched the bridge of his nose.
I've made a mistake.
Damn this book is good gonna go shout it out on banana milk
