How has my life come to this...I surmise to myself as I sit across from my new boss, Taemin.

We met just three days ago when he found me desperately seeking employment at the umpteenth denied interview. I had no idea just how bad the economy had gotten until I lost my job and had to search for other options. No one would hire me! I stumbled upon Taemin by chance when he was interviewing someone else. I felt sorry for the guy as I watched the scenario unfold. I had been sitting a few seats over waiting for my own interview with a different company when they sat down within ear shot. The professional one-Taemin- started asking a bunch of random ass personal questions that made me blush as the other guy stumbled over his answers, obviously uncomfortable. I had no idea at the time what the hell kind of job asked such things but was just glad it wasn't me. The poor guy shook his head and gave up after only ten minutes then stood to leave, face flushed. I bit my lip as he passed me and I checked my watch to see my interviewer was late. Not a good sign. I waited for a few more minutes when I felt eyes on me. I glanced over to see that guy looking at me-more like studying me, really-from head to toe. I shifted uncomfortably and realized the person I had been waiting for was obviously not coming. I sighed and stood up to leave when the guy mimicked my moves. He walked toward me and smiled. "Hi, I'm Taemin." He held his hand out. "I'm Seokjin." I shook his hand and stared at him questioningly. He cleared his throat. "I couldn't help but notice you waiting for someone...are you leaving?" "I was actually here for a job interview but it looks like the person couldn't make it." I claimed. "That's great!" He smiled but backtracked a little at my crestfallen expression. "I mean, I need some new employs and I think you fit the job perfectly." He clears up and I cock an eyebrow. "What kind of job? I couldn't help but overhear the questions and I'm not really comfortable being asked such things." I replied. He nodded. "Let me just ask you this...are you clean?" His smile never wavered as I blankly stared at him in confusion. "Clean? I took a shower this morning.." I trailed off when he busted out laughing. "No! I meant sexually...have you ever.." his voice is a little more hesitant. I blush hard. "I'm a v-virgin!" I whisper in embarrassment and he nods happily. "All I need to know. If you want to come back to my office in a couple days we get you set up." He clapped my shoulder and handed me a business card. I look at it and frown in thought. "Um, ok." I mumble as he tells me a time and date and leaves me alone...and that's how I ending up here in Taemin's office. I had researched his business and found out in shock that he ran a Host business for the rich and bored basically. I wasn't really sure why I agreed to come here. I definitely didn't fit the role of a Host. Sure, admitfully I could pass easily just from looks but I'm way too shy to do the things Hosts are supposed to do. I can't do this... "Sorry to keep you waiting, Seokjin. Business call." Taemin sits down before me and smiles that same happy smile. "I'm sure you have questions." He says and I feel better instantly. "Uh, yes, I really don't think I can do this job. I'm not really Host material." I bite my lip, feeling awkward and nervous. "No worries! Look, Seokjin, I'm going to start you off easy. Nothing sexual, ok? I want you to be comfortable and I would never force any of my employees to do anything they don't want to do. I'm a fair boss as you'll come to find out." He studies me for a moment. "I admit that I was honestly just drawn to you by your looks but I like your shy personality. We can make this work." "But eventually I'll be forced to do something sexual, right?" I ask quietly. He frowns. "Well, that is the job of a Host. Right now I just want you to supply company and fun to a few select clients that don't look for sex with my Hosts. But yes..when you become more comfortable you will slowly begin to entertain my more...needy clients." He shrugs apologetically and I shift uncomfortably. I take a deep breath. "I don't know...I don't think I can do this.." "Give it awhile, ok. You'll be making more than enough money and I won't push you too fast, ok? I'll even give you a bonus." He winks and hands me a check. My eyes widen in shock and I gasp at the numbers on this piece of paper. I would have to work for two whole months for this amount of money at my old job... "Alright." I stand and bow as I say my goodbyes. Taemin tells me he'll call me later for my first job in a couple days but in the meantime I'll have to go shopping and get a slight makeover so I'll fit in and look more Host-like, whatever that means. I exit the tall building and head home. I'm so nervous and yet part of me is excited to get started..I can't stop looking at the large check as I tuck it into my pocket...
