Chapter 7

#FRIEND-ZONE

"Oh?" The 4 of them were surprised.

"Hi!" It was Jaejoong who interrupted them

"Mr Jaejoong-ssi." All of them stood up and bowed. 

"Oh, Jaejoong-ssi, what are you doing here? I thought you had lunch with the President?" Yuri asked as she looked at her phone. 

"It was cancelled. The president called and cancel." Mr Lee who was carrying food for Mr Jaejoong

"So we came back, and saw all of you sitting here, so I thought, I could join the 4 of you. You guys wouldn't mind?" Jaejoong said

"Obviously, we can't say that can we?" Donghae said 

"Yah." Yoochun punched Donghae's arm

"He's kidding. We wouldn't mind." Yoona said

"Anyway, in case you might forget, the lunch that you promise to treat us....yup." Donghae and Yoochun said

"Yah!" Yoona and Yuri said in unison

"Of course I didn't forget. Just remember not to bring Miss Hwang-ssi, and it'll be no problem." Jaejoong jokingly said

"Don't worry, she's a definite no in our list." Yoochun said causing all of them to laugh. 

The 6 of them, Mr Lee, Jaejoong, Yuri, Donghae, Yoochun and Yuri were laughing and happily having lunch. Yunho who walked in, was surprise to see his friends and the boss sitting together. Especially Yuri and Jaejoong sitting side by side, laughing. He was feeling jealous, and didn't have the mood to eat, when he was about to turn back and go back to his office, someone called him

"Hyung! Yunho hyung." Yoochun shouted across the cafeteria

All of them turned to look at Yunho, who was hesistant to walk towards them. Yoochun, walked towards him, and dragged him to the table.

"I thought someone didn't want to eat." Donghae said, as he stuffed his mouth.

"Yah." Yoona said

"Oh, there's no space, let me get you a chair." Yoochun said as he took a chair from another table for Yunho to sit.

"Hello. I'm Jung Yunho." Yunho bowed and introduce himself to Jaejoong and Mr Lee. 

"Nice to meet you." Jaejoong said and bowed back

"Alright, let's eat." Yoochun said, as he passed some food towards Yunho.

It was a quite awkward atmostphere. Yuri, Yoona, Mr Lee, Jaejoong and Donghae were talking among themselves. Yunho and Yoochun were talking to one another. Yunho would glance at Yuri, while he was eating. He kept seeing Jaejoong and Yuri laughing at one another, and they would always pass one another food. Suddenly, they heard the sound of someone dragging the chair, and to their surprise, it was none other than Tiffany who dragged her chair towards Jaejoong. 

"Mr Jaejoong-ssi." Tiffany eyesmiled to Jaejoong

"Ah, yes. Hello Miss Hwang-ssi." Jaejoong said awkward

"Aish. So many other table, she had to come here" Donghae whispered to himself which caused the others to giggled

"Eh?" Tiffany said

"Ah. Its nothing. I think Donghae choked on something. Oh?" Yoochun gave Donghae a cup of water and he treated Donghae like a small boy

"Tsk. Mr Jaejoong, how is your lunch. Why didn't ask me to eat with you?" Tiffany voice changed as she talked to Jaejoong

"Cough....extra...cough" Yoochun faked cough, causing everyone else to laugh

"Yah! All of you, leave." Tiffany stood up and said

All of them stood up, clear up their plates and walked off. Tiffany did not notice that Jaejoong also walked off. When she looked around, all of them really left her. As they walked off, they laughed. Yunho who was at the back following them felt uncomfortable.

"Mr Jaejoong-ssi, you're girlfriend is waiting for you. Why are you here?" Yoochun jokingly said, causing all of them. 

"Mr Jaejoong-ssi. You're the best." Donghae said and all of them laughed.

As they all walked back to the office, suddenly. President Kim, stood infront of them

"Jaejoong-ssi, Mr Lee, Kwon Yuri" President Kim greeted.

"Oh. President Kim-ssi." Yoona said as they all bowed

"Hello. Jaejoong, Mr Lee. Can I talk to you." President Kim said

"Let's go to my office." Jaejoong said as he walked off with his father. 

"You all can go ahead first. Yuri, we will call you later." Mr Lee dismissed all of them, and walked towards Jaejoong and his father

"Yah. Jung Yunho." Yuri walked back towards Yunho who was looking glum.

"What?" Yunho said

"Eh. Why so moody. Why?" Yuri stopped and hold Yunho.

"I'm fine. Really? Let's go." Yunho smiled.

"Jung Yunho......." Yuri act cutely towards Yunho

"Why? I'm really fine." Yunho said emotionless.

"Liar." Yuri said as she messed Yunho's hair, and walked off.

"Aish, Kwon Yuri. I really wonder why, I like you." Yunho smiled and said to himself as he stopped to fixed his hair.

"Ah, hurry up." Yuri walked back to Yunho and dragged him

As they walked back to the office, Yunho spoke out.

"Look guys, I wanna apologize for apologizing...." Yunho said but was interrupted by Donghae and Yoochun

"Oh. Yunho's apologizing....." Donghae said

"....Someone please record this, it is actually happening, Yunho hyung is apologizing....." Yoochun shouted. 

"Yah, can you both shut up for a second?" Yunho said

"Oh. Sorry... NO!" Yoochun and Donghae shouted as they both laugh and high-fived one another.

"Noisy." Yoona said. 

"As I was saying, I wanna apologize and also congratulate Yuri. Congratulations Yul-ah." Yunho said as he tapped Yuri's head

"Aigoo. Thank You." Yuri pinced Yunho's cheeks. 

They walked back laughing and talking. As they walked into Yuri's office, they noticed a whole stack of work on Yuri's table.

"Yah, whoever's doing that would definitely die." Yoochun said

"Yes, and whoever would be you, Kwon Yuri." Tiffany appeared behind them

"Me? All of this?" Yuri who was shocked

"Miss Hwang-ssi. Isn't this a little bit to much?" Yunho asked

"I mean, if you guys want me to give you the same amount of work?" Tiffany said as she smirked

"It's alright. I can do it." Yuri said

"Have fun." Tiffany said as she tapped on the stack of work

"She's gone crazy." Yoochun said

"Yeah, crazy for Jaejoong. Poor Mr Jaejoong-ssi." Donghae said, causing all of them to laugh. 

"What are you guys doing? Get back to work." Tiffany shouted, and all of them, went back to their respective table.

Yuri looked at her workload, and sigh. She then got a text message from Jaejoong. 

"Assistant-ssi. I need you back. Come to the office." 

"I don't think I can, your girlfriend is driving me crazy. You should come and look at the amount of work she's giving me"

"Do you need my help. And by the way, she is not my girlfriend." 

"I mean, you need my assistance right, so I don't exactly need help."

"Alright. Have fun with your stack of work. Bye."

"Ah. Jaejoong-ssi. Please help." 

"Alright. I'll be down to help. And stop using your phone, we're not paying you, to sit down and text all day"

Yuri smiled to herself as she start doing her work. After 30 minutes, Tiffany went up to Yuri to see her progress. To her surprise, Yuri never touched the work that was given by Tiffany. She only did others that she had started. 

"Yah. Kwon Yuri. Why haven't you done any of this? Who's gonna do this?" Tiffany said as she pointed to stack of work.

"You will do it, right Miss Hwang-ssi?" it was Jaejoong who said.

"Oh Jaejoong-ssi. Me? You want me to do this" Tiffany was surprised. There were people giggling. 

"Yeah, I need my assistant back. Take your work that you're doing and whatever you're left with." Jaejoong ordered Yuri.

"Yes." Yuri said as she packed those paperworks that she was doing. 

"Miss Hwang, I know you'll do well. I'll have Mr Lee take of the work you'll be doing. Alright we'll excuse ourself. Mr Lee, Yuri. Let's go. " Jaejoong smiled as he held Yuri's wrist, as they walked out of the office. Mr Lee bowed and followed Yuri and Jaejoong

As they walked out of the office, without realizing, Jaejoong was still holding onto Yuri's wrist.

"You're welcome." Jaejoong said proudly.

'Thanks for saving me." Yuri released her hands from Jaejoong and bowed.

"I know, I know, I'm a livesaver. You better repay me back." Jaejoong bragged.

"Isn't the whole reason you 'saved' me was that you needed my assistance?" Yuri said

"No, I couldn't watch others bully you." Jaejoong siad

"So you do care?" Yuri said in soft tone

"Nah. I should be the one who bullys you. No one should take my joy away." Jaejoong joked

"Aish. Let's go." Yuri said as she walked off

"Kwon Yuri. I'm just joking." Jaejoong ran after her. 

The 2 of them walked back to their office. Jaejoong walked into his office. Yuri went to her desk to clean up, set up her laptop and the computer there, she was arranging, some of her items on the desk to beautify it. As she was doing it. Jaejoong came up to her to arrange some meetings with clients.

"So please call .... and arrnage a meeting for Thursday afternoon.... Also, I have a lunch meeting with a client, please call and confirm and make reservations at ..... restaurant..... And I'm meeting with a few clients at the golf course, so please call Mr Song, to pick up my golf clubs....." Jaejoong went on talking, and Yuri started taking down and writing everything Jaejoong said. 

After Jaejoong explained everything to Yuri. He went back into his office and continue doing work, while Yuri made calls, lunch meetings, appointments with many different people, she manage to arrange all of those, and continue doing her previous work. Without realizing, it was time to go back. Jaejoong had already packed, wore his coat and took his briefcase and walked towards Yuri's table, to see if she was also done working.

"Let's go." Jaejoong said as he knocked onto Yuri's table.

"Go? Do you have a meeting today?" Yuri said as she typed and looked at her planner.

"No, I mean go home. Hurry?" Jaejoong said. 

"Now? Isn't it still early for me to go home early?" Yuri still continued typing on her computer

"Miss Kwon-ssi. Look at the time. Its 6:30PM." Jaejoong said as he looked at his watch

"Oh? Really? You can go ahead first. I'll finish my work and clean up afterwards. Do you need me to call the Driver to pick you up?" Yuri said as she looked up to Jaejoong anc continue working. 

"Yah. No wonder you're in the top few in the company. Don't you ever wanna go home early?" Jaejoong said.

"Nope. And why do you need me to go home with you?" Yuri asked

"Haven't you watch those drama? When the boss walks with people working behind him, they have an entourage." Jaejoong joked.

"Jaejoong-ssi, seriously?" Yuri shook her head

"No, your clothes are in my car. Do you expect me to go down, take it, and bring it up for you? I'm not that nice." Jaejoong said.

"Alright, then can you wait just for 5 mins." Yuri sighed

Jaejoong sat in front of the Yuri. He decided to annoy Yuri. irst, Jaejoong started playing with the pen. Yuri who couldn't be bothered just ignore. Next, Jaejoong would ask if she was finished every 10 seconds and would sigh loudly when Yuri said no. Yuri felt a little annoyed but she just ignored. Later Jaejoong began knocking his foot against the table. Yuri got annoyed and glared at the annoying Jaejoong.

"Urgh. Let's go" Yuri stood up and packed her things

"Oh..Finally. It's been like what? 2 mins. Oh god." Jaejoong joked and walked off.

Meanwhile in the other office. Yunho, Donghae, Yoona, Yoochun were packing up to leave. 

"Do you think Yuri's done with work?" Yunho asked

"Probably. Wait let me text her." Yoona said.

Yoona texted Yuri.

"Yul-ah, you done with work? Wanna go home together?"

"Sorry, don't wait for me, I'm going home with Jaejoong. Meet you tomorrow alright?" 

"Yuri's going home with Jaejoong. Let's go." Yoona said

"What? Jaejoong is with Yuri. He's sending Yuri home." Tiffany who suddenly interrupted

"Yes. We'll go off first, have fun doing those assigned work." Donghae said as the rest laughed

"Yunho? Are you okay?" Yoona noticed Yunho who was silent. 

"Do you guys think she'll choose Jaejoong over me?" Yunho who suddenly asked

"Jaejoong of coure." Yoochun and Donghae said in unison and laugh

"Aish. Why? Are you worried?" Yoona punched Yoochun and Donghae's arm and asked Yunho

"Ah, nothing, Let's go." Yunho shrugged and walked off.

In Jaejoong's car

They talked and laugh as Jaejoong drove Yuri home. They reached Yuri's house. Jaejoong got off the car, to help Yuri unload the clothes she got from Sooyoung.

"Thanks for the ride, and this clothes, Mr Jaejoong-ssi." Yuri said as she bowed 

"No problem. See you tomorrow." Yuri stood as she watched Jaejoong get into the car and drove off.

"Yuri. Yah! Did you get a raise in your pay? What's with the new sets of clothes?" Boa shouted as she saw her sister

"Oh, unnie. You're home. Ah, this, its nothing." Yuri greeted Boa.

"Did Yunho get promoted? He changed his old crappy car to a new car? Not bad" Boa said as they walked into their house.

"That? That's not Yunho. Its my boss, he gave me a car ride home." Yuri explained. 

"Yah, Kwon Yuri. What did I tell you about bosses. They use you, and leave you alone, during your wedding day." Boa nagged 

"Unnie! It was just a ride home. Do you have to always overthink?" Yuri complained 

"What's with my daughters entering and arguing?" Their mum walked up to them

"It's nothing." Boa said 

"Good, let's have dinner. Come on." Her mum walked and dragged her 2 daughters to the dining room.

"So, my dear Yul, how was work? I see you got new sets of clothes" Her mum asked 

"It was great. First day of the boss assistant, has its benefits" Yuri replied

"Still don't get why you chose this position. She's gonna get hurt." Boa said in a low tone 

"Unnie! Can you stop bringing it up. It's so annoying. That was your past, stop trying to make it sound like I'll end up like you. Cause trust me, I don't plan to." Yuri said in an annoyed tone and stormed off to her room. 

"Boa.... I think you've been making it hard for Yuri. She hasn't even gone through love, and you're already telling her such stuff." Her mum said in calm tone

"I'll go talk to her!" Boa stood up and walked up to Yuri's room.

"Don't let her cool down, both of you can settle it tomorrow. Eat your dinner, wash up and rest." her mum said.
