As the day began to fade into dusk, Jimin found himself entangled in a web of conflicting emotions. The lingering thoughts of the mysterious phone call, the enchanting ringtone, and the enigmatic smile on his boss's face played on a loop in his mind. It was like trying to decipher a cryptic message with only fragments of the puzzle at hand.


Lost in his contemplation, Jimin's mind wandered through a labyrinth of possibilities. "I feel like I'm walking on thin ice," he thought, cautiously navigating the treacherous terrain of his thoughts. He tried to piece together the fragments, searching for clarity in the midst of uncertainty.


As the working hours came to an end, the office gradually emptied, leaving behind a quiet solitude. However, Jimin remained behind, determined to complete the files for the upcoming modeling contest, a task that demanded his undivided attention. Time slipped away unnoticed, and before he knew it, the clock struck well past 10pm.


Fatigue began to weigh heavily on his weary frame, but his sense of duty compelled him to soldier on. Glancing towards his boss's office, Jimin noticed the soft glow of lights emanating from his secretary's cabin, a beacon of dedication amidst the stillness. With a resolute determination, he approached the office, his footsteps echoing through the deserted corridors.Knocking lightly on the door, Jimin waited for his boss's permission to enter, his heart racing with a mixture of anticipation and apprehension. Jungkook, engrossed in his work, looked up, acknowledging Jimin's presence with a nod. The room was filled with an air of professionalism, their words measured and deliberate.


"Mr. Jeon, it's getting late. I suggest you take some rest and head home," Jimin said, his voice a delicate balance of concern and respect. His words were like a gentle breeze, carrying the weight of their unspoken connection.


Jungkook's eyes flickered towards Jimin, his gaze a reflection of the depth hidden within. The lines on his face softened, hinting at a hidden vulnerability beneath his composed exterior. He nodded in acknowledgment, silently conveying his understanding of Jimin's concern.


Together, they made their way towards the elevator, the rhythmic sound of their footsteps breaking the stillness of the evening. Jimin couldn't help but feel a mix of relief and admiration for his boss. Their relationship was one of mutual respect, a delicate dance of professional boundaries.


As they descended to the ground floor, Jimin mustered the courage to bid farewell.


 "Mr. Jeon, I wish you a peaceful evening," he said, his voice carrying a tinge of formality, masking the deeper emotions that stirred within him.


Jungkook's eyes met Jimin's, a fleeting moment of connection. His silence spoke volumes, a testament to the unsaid understanding that bound them together. It was as if their unspoken conversations held more weight than any words they could utter.


Jimin stepped out of the elevator, ready to embark on his journey home. However, fate had a different plan in store. His car refused to start, a frustrating predicament that threatened to dampen his spirits. 


"This is the last straw," he muttered under his breath, feeling the weight of the situation bearing down on him.
