Chapter 6

#FRIEND-ZONE

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

"To meet Sooyoung. My stylist." Jaejoong said as he raised his eyebrows

After the awkward-silent car ride, they went into a boutique that you could tell its where the rich would shop at. There, they met Sooyoung, who immediately hugged Jaejoong and then Yuri. 

Sooyoung's Boutique

"So you're Yuri huh? The new assistant that Jaejoong talked about. And your dressing is not as bad as he described it." Sooyoung looked at Yuri

"Yes, and you must be Miss Choi Sooyoung, Jaejoong's stylist. Umm.. thanks?" Yuri said

"Sooyoung... wait? Stylist? Is that what he said?" Sooyoung surprised and asked. Yuri just nodded her head

"Yah! So now I' dongraded from your best friend to just your stylist? You kidding me?" Sooyoung joked to Jaejoong

"Aish!" Jaejoong complained

"2 of you? Best friend?" Yuri was confused as to what was going on. 

"I'm current studing fashion business right now in college. And I'm experimenting clothes on Jaejoong. I'm not his stylist. He's my experiment rat!" Sooyoung said as she glared at Jaejoong who was avoiding eye contact

"Alright, alright. Let's stop with the chit chatting. I'm a very busy man." Jaeoong said as he looked at his watch

"Don't mind him, lets find for you some of my clothes, and put my fashion talent to the test." Sooyoung said as she dragged Yuri to the rack of clothes where she was choosing which outfit for Yuri

"Oh, here'e 1... Another.... This isn't too bad....Definitely this.....You'll look great in this....This....And this..." Sooyoung said as took everything off the rack and piled it onto Yuri

"Umm... Don't you think this is a little bit too much?" Yuri asked as she looked at the pile of outfits she was carrying.

"Don't question a fashion major. Okay go try on all of them." Sooyoung said as she pushed Yuri into the fitting room

As Sooyoung and Jaejoong waited for Yuri to change. They started to talk. 

"Kim Jaejoong. What's with this girl now? Are you gonna hurt her. I think she's different from those other girls you introduce to me. I kinda like her, and thats a rare thing to hear from me." Sooyoung asked Jaejoong. 

"She's just my assistant. And glad I have your approval." Jaejoong sarcastically said

"Stop lying to me. I know you too well. Come on confess." Sooyoung was sure Jaejoong was lying. 

"Well. Too be honest, I sorta...kind of....." Jaejoong whsipered, but was interrupted by Yuri

"Uh. Can I come out now. I dont think this is right?" Yuri was too shy and afraid to show off the outfit choices by Sooyoung. 

"Don't be scared. I'll try not to mock you." Jaejoong said as he jokingly said while using his phone. 

"Kim Jaejoong! We won't mock you. Dont worry" Sooyoung said 

Yuri walked out off the dressing room.

"Omg! Beautiful." Sooyoung said as she applauded

"Does it really look good?" Yuri was feeling unsure as she scratched her head. 

"You look amazing. Who knew you were hiding a killer body under your clothes. Doesn't she look amazing, Jaejoong? Yah! Kim Jaejoong." Sooyoung called out Jaejoong who was busy using his phone.

"What?" Jaejoong looked up as he saw Yuri.

"Not bad eh? I know, I'm that good." Sooyoung praised herself

"Don't flatter yourself eh? Alright, we'll just take whatever you chose for her." Jaejoong said as he took out his credit card and passsed to the cashier.

"Jaejoong-ssi. I don't think my salary can pay off one piece of this outfit." Yuri was shocked

"Don't worry, Jaejoong will pay it all, and it won't be cut from your salary. I'll make sure of that." Sooyoung teased Jaejoong

"Yah. Choi Soo.." Jaejoong called out, but was interrupted by Sooyoung

"Shh... And sign here" Sooyoung said as she pointed at the receipt for Jaejoong to sign.

After Jaejoong has paid for all of Yuri's outfits. They went back to the office, to continue with work. When the 2 of them walked into the building, they received stares from many people. For Jaejoong, it was nothing to him, because he was the son of the President of the company. But for Yuri, she was feeling uncomfortable. Yuri and Jaejoong walked into the office, where her colleagues were working. 

"Oh, Jaejoong-ssi. Y..Yu...Yuri?" Tiffany greeted Jaejoong, and immediately stuttered as she saw Yuri who looked completely different from her usual self

"Yah. Is that Yuri? Wow does she look different." Donghae stood up and tapped Yunho who was busy doing his work. 

"Omg. Yuri looks so....omg." Yoochun said.

"I love her shoes. It's a really expensive designer shoe." Yoona who also stood up with Donghae and Yoochun

"Kwon Yuri?" Yunho whispered as he looked at Yuri. 

"Who knew she was hot?" Yoochun said as they walked towards Yunho, Yoona & Donghae

Yunho was surprised and disbelief when he looked at Yuri. He didn't even know what to feel?

"Jung Yuho" Yoona waved her hands in front of Yunho

"Hyung. Hyung." Yoochun tapped Yunho arms

"Yah! Yunho, what's wrong with you? Starstruck?" Donghae said to Yunho, who didn't even react to his friends

"Is that really Yul? What is she doing with Mr Jaejoong-ssi?" Yunho blurted out. 

"Uh yeah. And I'm not sure what she's doing with him." Yoona said

"She's so pretty." Yoochun said

"And way hot." Donghae interrupted

"Aish." Yunho said to Donghae

The 4 of them walked towards Tiffany, who was standing with Jaejoong & Yuri

"Good morning all. I would like to inform you that, Miss Kwon Yuri would now be my new assistant." Jaejoong announced to the office

"Assistant?" Tiffany, Yunho, Donghae, Yoona & Yoochun said in confusion at the same time

".....so she'll no longer be working with you. But we'll find someone to replace her. So please look forward to having a new colleague. Also, if you need anything from me, please approach Yuri, and she will handle it. That is all. You can continue with your work. Miss Tiffany, can i talk to you for a second?" Jaejoong announced

"Uh, yes." Tiffanu said as she bowed

"Yuri, you can clean up your desk and bring it up to your new office place." Jaejoong said

"Alright. I'll meet you in a while." Yuri bowed and walked towards her table. 

As she was packing her stuff. Yunho, Donghae, Yoona & Yoochun approached her. 

"Wow. Assistant eh?" Yoona teased

"Oh, hi guys." Yuri greeted as she continue packing her stuff

"What the hell? Kwon Yuri, why didn't you tell me any of this. Only to find out you are the new assistant of the boss." Yunho said angrily as he crossed his arm. 

"I didn't have a choice. I was put in a situation. I couldn't say no. And why are you getting so angry?" Yuri said to Yunho

"Because, I've been your best friend for like what...20 years. And you couldn't even tell me this. Seriously?" Yunho said as he stormed off. 

"What is up with him" Donghae said as he watched Yunho stormed off. 

"Let him cool down first. Yah, do you guys wanna see my new workplace." Yuri said.

"Let's go." Yoochun said who helped Yuri carry her box of stuff

"Omg, I love your shoes." Yoona said to Yuri as they walked

"Omg... I love your shoes." Yoochun and Donghae imitated Yoona and Yuri as they followed behind them

Yunho watched his friends walked off. Feeling jealous. 

"Anyway, congratulations Yuri"  Yoona, Donghae & Yoochun congratulate Yuri.

"Thanks guys. Don't worry, I'll be treating you guys." Yuri said. 

"That's what I've been waiting to hear." Donghae said causing all of them.

"I hope you also include me." Jaejoong who said, who were behind them. 

"Oh, Mr Jaejoong-ssi."  Yuri, Yoona, Donghae & Yoochun were surprised, and immediately bowed

"Actually, Mr Jaejoong, shouldn't you be treating us? I mean, you kinda took Yuri away from us." Donghae jokingly said

"Yah." Yoona & Yuri whispered as they punched Donghae's arm

"I guess so. Sure why not. Let's go out for lunch, my treat." Jaejoong said

"Ah, Mr Jaejoong you don't have too..." Yuri quickly said

"Kwon Yuri, let the man treat us." Donghae shamelessly said.

"I will, I need to know the staff too. Yuri will tell you, when I'm free. Anyway, sorry, we have to go, we have an appointment to go to." Jaejoong said

"Alright, Mr Jaejoong-ssi." Yuri said as Jaejoong bowed and walked away.

"One reminder. Please don't bring Miss Tiffany. Thank You." Jaejoong said as he turned back.

"No worries. We don't want her either." Donghae shouted back

"I'll be leaving. See you guys alright." Yuri said as she waved to her friends, and followed Jaejoong.

After Yuri left Yoona, Donghae & Yoochun walked back to their office, and went to meet Yunho. He was too engrossed into his work, trying to hide his feelings, and acting like nothing happen

"What's with you acting up just now?" Yoona asked

"What I do? And can you please get your work done. We're not paid to go on office tour or to just chit chat" Yunho said

"You know what I don't understand? You've been a best friend with Yuri for more than 20 years, and yet, you can't even be happy for her." Yoochun said. 

"Could you guys just stop. Give me some space." Yunho said coldly.

"Whatever dude." Donghae said and walked away

"Cool." Yoona tapped Yunho shoulder and walked back with Yoochun

As Yunho was trying hard to do his work, he couldn't help but overthink that he might overreacted about Yuri and his friends. He held onto his phone, unsure if he shoult text Yuri to apologize. He kept typing and deleting. Not sure what he should say to Yuri

Jaejoong's Office

"So. How do you feel so far about being my assistant?" Jaejoong asked as they walked into Jaejoong's office

"Right now? I'm not sure. We didn't really do much work except shop?" Yuri said

"Well, that's because, I'm going easy on you. Wait, till you see what kind of horrible boss I'll be." Jaejoong teased Yuri

"I'll be ready." Yuri joked, causing both of them to laugh

"You'll regret it. Trust me." Jaejoong said

As they walked in, Mr Lee was there, waiting for the 2 of them, he still wanted to continue briefing Yuri on the duties she had to do. They bowed, and sat on the sofa in Jaejoong's office

"You looked great, Miss Yuri-ssi." Mr Lee complimented Yuri

"Thank You." Yuri bowed her head

"Alright, since this is settled, your desk will be just right outside of Mr Jaejoong's office. You must answer calls at all times. Here is a blackberry. We've given our partners and client's assistants your number. So they will start contacting you." Mr Lee explained as he passed Yuri a brand new phone.

"By the way, my number is on speed dial. Number 1 of course." Jaejoong teased

"...Also, a car will pick you up every morning around 7, and he will bring you to the cafe, and you will just asked for 'Jaejoong's usual.' and they will pass you Jaejoong's usual coffee and breakfast. You can order for yourself too. And afterwards he will pick me and Mr Jaejoong, before we head to work...." Yuri was writing into the book while Mr Lee was explaining. 

After the long and continuous briefing. They were interrupted by the ringing phone on Yuri;s desk.

"Oh, someone's first call. Your job has just begun." Jaejoong teased Yuri, and said in a weird scary voice

"You can go get that." Mr Lee ordered Yuri to get the call.

"Yes." Yuri bowed and left to answer the phone call. 

Jaejoong and Mr Lee continued talking. Around 15 minutes later, Yuri walked into the office.

"Who was that?" Mr Lee asked

"Its Mr Kim's assistant. He said, Mr Kim wants to have lunch with Mr Jaejoong and Mr Lee." Yuri said

"Aish." Jaejoong said as he scratched the back of his head.

"We should go, it might be important." Mr Lee advised

"Or maybe he just wants to meet me to criticized me and just wait to watch me fail. He's been doing that all this while." Jaejoong said

"He might turn things around. Since you've been doing well taking charge in the Seoul's company." Mr Lee said

"Yuri just cancel the lunch date." Jaejoong said as he sat and looked on his computer.

"I can't. He doesn't allow...." Yuri explained

"Yuri, I'll handle this. Since your number hasn't been activated yet, you can continue finishing your previous work till Miss Hwang has found your replacement. Afterwards, you can go for lunch. We'll call you back." Mr Lee said as he dismissed Yuri

"Okay, I'll excuse myself fist." Yuri bowed and left.

Suddenly, Jaejoong's phone beeped. It was at text message from Yuri.

"Jaejoong-ssi. Good luck. It's just lunch, it won't be that bad, the worst that could happen would be, the food might be disgusting." 

It caused Jaejoong to laugh to himself. 

"Let's go Mr Jaejoong-ssi." Mr Lee took Jaejoong's coat and passed it to him.

Meanwhile, Yuri walked down to her old desk, to continue finishing her previous work, and to meet Yoona for lunch. But she was blocked by Tiffany who was angry at her.

"No one is allowed here, unless, he/she is working her." Tiffany crossed her arms and said

"I do work here the level above you, in case you forget. Mr Jaejoong and Mr Lee ordered me to finish off what I have left. So if you could excuse me, I have work to do." Yuri said and walked pass Tiffany. 

As Yuri walked into the office, she walked towards her old workdesk. She saw Yoona, Donghae and Yoochun chit-chatting at Yoona's desk. She walked up to them

"Excuse me, shouldn't you be working?" Yuri said causing all of them to turn 

"Yul-ah!" Yoona hugged Yuri

Which caused Yunho, to look up, to see Yoona, Donghae and Yoochun with Yuri talking and laughing. He felt a little bit jealous, he was about to stand up to join them, but he hesitated, and continue to work.

"What are you doing here?" Yoochun asked

"To treat us for lunch, of course." Donghae teased

"Yah. She just started working, what's with you?" Yoona shook her head

"I'm here to finish work, and to obviously treat you guys lunch." Yuri said.

"I'm not gonna stop her from doing so." Donghae said causing all of them to laugh.

"Alright. Lunch later, let's just get over and done with work." Yoona said as she shooed them off her work area

Yuri walked to her table with Yoochun, joking and laughing. Yunho looked up to see what was going on

"Aww.. is someone jealous?" Donghae who saw Yunho peeking teased

"Just do your work" Yunho said coldly and he continue working. 

All of them were doing their work, time passed and it was already lunch time. Yoona came up to Yoochun and Yuri to go to lunch together. The 3 of them walked towards Yunho and Donghae work area.

"Hyung let's go." Yoochun tapped Yunho and Donghae's shoulder

"I'm not hungry." Yunho said

"Yeah, he's angry." Donghae teased, which caused Yunho to glare at him

"Yah, why are you still angry?" Yuri asked but Yunho kept silent

"Will you just stop sulking, uh?" Yoona said. 

"Let's not bother him. Let's go." Donghae said

"Right. Let's go." Yoona said as she linked arms with Yuri as they walked off

"Let's go." Yoochun and Donghae imitated Yoona and Yuri and linked arms, causing all 4 of them to laugh.

Meanwhile, Yunho who sat alone at his desk deciding if he should join the 4 of them. He then got a text from Yuri.

"Yah! You better come now, or else our friendship of 20 years is over." 

Yunho laughed and smile to himself, as he read his text. He then walked off to meet them

Office Cafeteria

"Omg. Food!" Yoochun and Donghae rushed to queue for food. 

"Let's not order, those 2 are going to order almost everything off the menu." Yoona said

"You can tell by looking at them drooling over the food." Yuri said as both of them walked towards the empty table.

"So how is Jaejoong? Is he nice." Yoona asked as they sat down

"He's a great boss." Yuri cluelessly said

"Not as a boss, as a man." Yoona said

"He's alright." Yuri shrugged

"Should i start shipping Jaejoong and Yuri?" Yoona teased

"Yah, stop it." Yuri said

"Omg, someone's blushing." Yoona teased Yuri even more

"The food's here." Yoochun and Donghae said as they eached carried a tray full of food.

"There sure is alot. Are you sure we'll be able to finish this?" Yoona said

"Please don't underestimate us. There is Yoochun, me and the obvious Yuri. We'll be wanting to order more." Donghae jokingly said

"And me too..." someone suddenly said.

"Oh?" The 4 of them were surprised.
