Chapter 5

#FRIEND-ZONE

"How was work today?" Jaejoong's dad asked as they were having dinner.

"It's was great." Jaejoong answer awkwardly

"Good! Mr Lee told me everything. And he said you didn't cause any trouble." His dad said bluntly

"Are you just gonna think of me as a rebellious son. And hyung as your favorite. I've changed can't you see. Maybe not. Because you're too busy with hyung and not me. Thanks a lot." Jaejoong stood up as he walked back to his room

"Kim Jaejoong." His dad shouted

Jaejoong and His dad never had a tight-close relationship like his dad and his older brother. Jaejoong always envied the 2 of them ever since the death of his mum.

The next morning, Yuri waited for Yunho as usual at the building entrance. Holding onto a tray of coffee. Yuri could see Yunho walking towards her, waving to her as if he's never seen Yuri for a very long time.

"Good Morning. Your coffee." Yuri said as she passed the coffee to Yunho

"Thank You." Yunho said as he took the cup of coffee from Yuri

"I'm not your assistant you know. Why am I always the one getting the coffee. You should be the one getting it. Aish!" Yuri said as she walked off

"Yah! Wait up. You know I'll pick you to be my assistant if I get promoted? Don't you want to be MY assistant." Yunho said proudly

"Nope. I rather be just a regular worker." Yuri was uninterested.

"Okay! Fine." Yunho crossed his arms

During that time, Jaejoong just walked into the building, his assistant, Mr Lee by his side and Tiffany who waited for Jaejoong to arrive, walk together. All stares were on him. Ladies who worked at the building can't help but stare at the good looking guy. Whispers could be heard, Jaejoong who liked it, smiled to himself. He then saw Yuri and Yunho who we're waiting for the lift teasing each other. His smile widened

"Yah, The boss is here." Yunho who nudged Yuri.

"Good Morning Miss Yuri-ssi." Jaejoong said as he smiled

"Ah! Good Morning Mr Kim-ssi." Yunho and Yuri greeted him as he bowed

"Ahem.." Tiffany who coughed lightly  to gain the attention, also wanted the 2 of them to greet her.

"Oh sorry, Good Morning Mr Lee-ssi." Yuri greeted Jaejoong's assistant and Yunho bowed

"Yah..." Tiffany said softly, because she can't believe that the 2 of them didn't greet her like what she expected

The lift opened, and before they walked in, everyone gave way to Jaejoong to go in first.

"Be careful, don't spill that coffee of yours." Jaejoong said to Yuri before he walked into the lift, causing Yuri to be surprised as she just nodded.

"Yah! Yuri-ah!" Yunho dragged Yuri into the lift before it became crowded.

When they arrived. Before going to their table, Jaejoong walked up to them and tapped Yuri's shoulder

"Can I see you at my office?" Jaejoong asked Yuri

"Me?" Yuri was confused

"Yeah! Thanks Miss Hwang. I'll find you if I need help. Thanks again." Jaejoong dismissed Tiffany who was sad and jealous at Yuri.

"Oh." Tiffany bowed her head

"See you in my office then, Yuri-ssi." Jaejoong said as he walked back to his office with Mr Lee.

"Yah! What does he want from you? Does it have to do with when you had a private meeting with him?" Tiffany asked

"Eh? Private meeting?" Yunho asked

"Yah! Stop it. I have to go see him. I myself have no idea what's going on. I'll excuse myself first." Yuri bowed as she walked off to Jaejoong's office

Yunho and Tiffany walked to their seats wondering what's going on. Suddenly Yoona appeared in front of Yunho.

"Yah! I heard a rumor that something's going on with Jaejoong and Yuri. See, didn't I say something will happen?" Yoona said proudly

"Rumor. Wow, useless news sure passed fast. Anyway I have no idea what's going on too." Yunho said emotionless as he walked to his desk

"Be careful. You better tell your feelings to Yuri before it's too late." Yoona said causing Yunho to stop

“Yah! How did you know?" Yunho feeling surprised, whispered to Yoona

"You know you are one terrible actor, Sir Obvious. Everyone here knows how you really really feel about Yuri. And what I said about Jaejoong liking Yuri, it's true. Jaejoong and you are exactly alike, terrible at acting, trying to hide your feelings for Yuri" Yoona said seriously as she walked away.

"What? No way..." Yunho thought to himself

Meanwhile, when Yuri walked to Jaejoong's office, his assistant, Mr Lee greeted Yuri as he directed Yuri to go in.

"Good Morning Mr Kim-ssi." Yuri bowed

"So? Have you decided whether you'll take up this position?" Jaejoong asked

"I'm still thinking about it though." Yuri said as she was still unsure

Suddenly, Jaejoong's Dad walked in. Yuri who recognize who he was, the President of the whole company

"Good Morning Mr President Kim." Yuri said as she quickly bowed

"Good Morning. And you are?" His dad asked

"My assistant. Kwon Yuri-ssi." Jaejoong said before Yuri could answer

"Ah, you managed to find one. Without the help of Mr Lee. I'm surprise." His dad said coldly casing Jaejoong to get irritated

"Yuri, you can leave now. I'll call you later." Jaejoong said as he quickly got Yuri out of the awkward situation.

"Wow he's a mean man. That's not how a father should be?" Yuri said to Mr Lee.

"Jaejoong has always been lonely, ever since his mom's death. His dad and brother worked hard to raise this company, so they became closer. Jaejoong used to be rebellious, that's why President Kim-ssi never trusted Jaejoong to be in-charge of the Seoul department. And they've had this cold relationship because Jaejoong felt like his brother was being favored more." Mr Lee explained

"Harsh. I pity him" Yuri said to herself

"That's why he wanted you to be his assistant. He saw you as a different person then a girl who just wants to be close because he is the son of the president. He talked a lot about you though. So just accept his offer, huh?" Mr Lee convinced Yuri.

In the Office

"What are you doing here?" Jaejoong said coldly

"To see how you are doing. Is my company going to go down after 2 days. Just to see the progress." Jaejoong's dad said sarcastically

"Seriously. Can't you ever trust me? Why can't you be more like mum?" Jaejoong said to his dad

"Don't bring her into this matter." Jaejoong's dad said as he walked out of the office.

A few minutes later, someone knocked on his door. He was too annoyed to answer. Yuri then walked in.

"Jaejoong-ssi, are you alright?" Yuri asked

"Yeah! I'm fine. You can leave now." Jaejoong said as he sat down

"Anyway I accept the offer. To be your assistant." Yuri said as she bowed and walked away

"Huh?" Jaejoong asked

"We can't lie to the president, well, you said to him that I was your assistant, so I'm your assistant." Yuri said as she smiled.

"Oh! Thank you! But you'll have to move here. As in move outside of my office." Jaejoong smiled

"Sure. I'll just go pack my stuff to bring it up here." Yuri said

"But first, I'll ask Mr Lee to brief you on what will happen. And also, I need you to continue with the tour of this building with me." Jaejoong explained

"Okay. Wait, you want me to walk. But I'll get hungry and you know I don't like to get hungry." Yuri whined

"Aish. Did I choose the wrong assistant?" Jaejoong teased

"Yah!" Yuri punched Jaejoong's arm, who jokingly glared immediately at her.

"Boss-ssi." Yuri who turned to a formal tone back, realizing that he was the boss

"Be informal. We're friends right? Just call me Jaejoong." Jaejoong who reached out his hand

"Yeah, sure. And you can call me Yuri." Yuri shook his hand, causing the 2 of them to laugh.

"Shall we go for the tour?" Jaejoong joked as he walked out of the office

"It's good that you're back to being happy." Yuri thought to herself, as she smiled to herself

They then went to their 'tour' of the building. Meanwhile, Yunho who was constantly peeking, to see if Yuri's back. Suddenly Tiffany approached him and call him over to one side.

"Yah! Is Yuri back?" Tiffany whispered

"No. Why? Where is she?" Yunho whispered back

"How would I know. I'm getting worried." Tiffany whispered

"For Yuri. Me too." Yunho whispered, being worried

"Not Yuri. Jaejoong, he hasn't called me to ask for help." Tiffany bit her nails

"That means, he's just not interested in you." Yunho said as he walked away, laughing

"Yah! Jung Yunho." Tiffany shouted as she saw Yuri walking with Jaejoong laughing. She quickly ran to see what was going on

"Hi Jaejoong-ssi. Yuri, what are you doing. Go back to your seat." Tiffany ordered Yuri

"Uh, no. Yuri's now my new assistant. So she'll be working with me. Thanks for your help. And please find someone who will replace Yuri's job. Thank You. Let's go Yuri." Jaejoong instructed Tiffany and they bowed and walked away to continue with their tour

"Eh? Assistant? It's supposed to be me. Aish! Kwon Yuri." Tiffany whined

Tiffany still couldn't believe it, so she went to Mr Lee, Jaejoong's old assistant

"Mr Lee! Mr Lee! Is Kwon Yuri really Mr Jaejoong's new assistant?" Tiffany asked

"Yes! She was chosen by Jaejoong and the President Kim-ssi themselves." Mr Lee smiled

"Pre...Pr...President Kim-ssi?" Tiffany stuttered

"Yes. If you would excuse me, I have to brief Yuri on what to do." Mr Lee bowed and excuse himself

"Thank god you were my assistant. Can you imagine Tiffany being my assistant? Gosh!" Jaejoong laughed

"You are definitely the most wanted by most of the girl here." Yuri shrugged

"What can I say? I can't help myself being this attractive and charming." Jaejoong boast

"Aish. I think I should reconsider being the assistant of this boss." Yuri teased

"Yah! I'm just praising myself. Boosting self confidence." Jaejoong said

"Self praise is no praise Mr Jaejoong." Yuri laughed

They continue laughing, and Mr Lee walked up to then. And they bowed

"Mr Kim-ssi, the scary Head of Department looked for me to ask about your new assistant. I don't think she's liking you." Mr Lee said causing Jaejoong and Yuri to laugh

"Thank you Mr Lee. Let's go get coffee, and you can tell Yuri what she should do." Jaejoong said as they walked towards the cafe near the building

"I'll go order the coffee." Yuri said as she went to the counter to order drinks.

When she came back. Yuri sat and Mr Lee brief Yuri on what she should do. Before Mr Lee started, Jaejoong said his opinion.

"First order of business. We have got to get you a new wardrobe. No assistant of mine is going to wear that." Jaejoong criticized Yuri's choice of clothes

"What's so wrong with my outfit?" Yuri looked at her clothes

"Everything. Everything's wrong. Don't you think so Mr Lee?" Jaejoong laughed as he asked Mr Lee

"Most definitely!" Mr Lee joined in to teased Yuri

"Mr Lee! By the way, Mr Kim Jaejoong, since when did you know anything about fashion?" Yuri asked

"Yuri-ssi. Look at me." Jaejoong who stood up and showed off his suit.

"Wow! You really do know how to dress yourself." Yuri said sarcastically

"I learn from the best, my Stylist. Choi Sooyoung. So we'll go and shop and she'll teach you how to dress." Jaejoong said

"Just curious. How does my dressing have to do with this assistant job?" Yuri was still confused

"Listen, dear. You and Jaejoong will be working together. Clients will meet both of you. If you dress, inappropriately, it might ruin the deal." Mr Lee explained

"So someone has lost a deal because of their assistants wrong choice of clothes?" Yuri found that if was a joked

"No one in particular, but we don't want you to be the first. See how it'll ruin my image? So stop complaining and we'll go shopping." Jaejoong said

"Now? Don't we have work to do?" Yuri asked

"Yes now. You are our first choice of work. We'll be leaving now, Mr Lee. Let's go Yuri-ssi" Jaejoong stood up and bowed and dragged the clueless Yuri out.

"Where are we going?" Yuri followed Jaejoong, to his car.
