Chapter 8

#FRIEND-ZONE

Next Morning

"Mum! How do I look?" Yuri who walked down to the kitchen, asking her mum for her opinion on the suit that Sooyoung picked out for her

"My daughter is pretty in whatever she wears." Her mum complimented Yuri

"Of course you'll say that, you're my mother." Yuri said as she drank her coffee

"Here's your breakfast." Her mum said as she placed Yuri's plate of breakfast on the table.

"I can't eat, I have to go. The car's waiting for me. See you later after work alright." Yuri quickly kissed her mum's cheeks and rushed out of the house.

"Yul! Yul-ah!" Boa called out for Yuri as she rushed down looking for her.

"She just left. A car came to pick her up." her mum said as she poured Boa a cup of coffee

"Ah. I really need to apologize to her." Boa said as she took a sip of her coffee.

"Just talk to her later, when both of you are back at home. Now eat you're breakfast, or else you'll be late for work." Her mum said as she took a seat.

In the Car

"Good Morning, Mr Song." Yuri greeted as she got into the car.

"Good Morning. You must be Miss Kwon Yuri-ssi, Mr Jaejoong-ssi's assistant. Nice to meet you." Mr Song, the driver greeted Yuri back. 

"Just call me Yuri. I have to go to the cafe to get Mr Jaejoong's and Mr Lee's coffee and breakfast." Yuri said

"Alright. I'm on my way." The driver smiled. 

They reached the cafe, and Yuri walked out of the car to see a long queue at the cafe. She looked at the driver, and shrugged

"Yuri-ssi. Here's my advice. Just go to the front of the line and say it's for Mr Jaejoong. It'll be faster."

"Really? Just cut?" Yuri asked

"Yeah. Just go to the front of the line. It'll be faster." the driver said

"Alright. But if i get sent to the back of the line, we'll blame it on you for being late." Yuri said unsurely as she walked away.

Yuri walked into the coffee place, and awkwardly walked to the front of the counter. She felt like everyone was looking at her.

"I'm here to collect for Mr Jaejoong's breakfast. I'm the new assistant." Yuri said hesistantly.

"Ah, here you go." The barista gave yuri a tray of coffee, and a bag.

"Oh, thank you." Yuri said as she reached out for her wallet to pay

"No no, its been paid. See you tomorrow" The barista said as she smiled

"Okay, see you tomorrow." Yuri smiled and bowed as she walked away

Yuri walked towards the car, to see the driver, Mr Song, waiting by the door, to open the door for her.

"Wow, that took only a few minutes." the driver said as he looked at his watch

"Thank You, Mr Song-ssi." Yuri smiled as the driver opened the car door for her. 

"No Problem, let's go get Mr Jaejoong" the driver said as he closed the door

On the way to get Jaejoong & Mr Lee, Yuri's phone been beeping from all of the text messages, emails, and also calls from Jaejoong's clients and partners. She was busy using her phone, not realizing that they had already reached Jaejoong's house. Jaejoong and Mr Lee got into the car, but Yuri, did not realized anything because she was so busy replying. Suddenly, she got a message from Jaejoong

"Good Morning Yuri-ssi." Jaejoong greeted Yuri

"Good Morning Mr Jaejoong, I'm in the car, on the way to your house to pick you up."

"On the way to my house? We're already on the way to the office." 

"Huh. Mr Song-ssi." Yuri blurted out as she looked up from her phone only to see Jaejoong & Mr Lee in the car.

"Oh, Good Morning Mr Jaejoong, Mr Lee" Yuri quickly greeted.

"I see you're already busy." Mr Lee said as she looked over to Yuri's phone.

"Yes, I apologize for not being aware." Yuri bowed

"Mr Song, what would you do if Mr Jaejoong's assistant doesn't greet you." Jaejoong teased and asked the driver.

"Fire her, of course." Mr Song said as he laughed

"I already apologize Mr Jaejoong, are you gonna hold it against me?" Yuri joked

"Of course, first you didn't notice me, second you didn't compliment on my amazing outifit." Jaejoong said

"Sorry my boss, How could I have not notice your amazing, incredible suit which I must say, look good on you." Yuri sarcastically said.

"That's it? Come on, keep the compliments coming...." Jaejoong said.

Yuri ignored him and continue using her phone to reply incoming messages and emails

"Yah! Kwon Yuri. Miss Kwon-ssi. Yuri." Jaejoong , but didn't get her attention

"By the way, I see you're wearing one of Sooyoung's outfit. Looking good." Jaejoong complimented Yuri 

"Thank You Mr Jaejoong" Yuri looked up to Jaejoong and smiled

"Oh now you listen to me." Jaejoong smirked

When they reached the building, they got off the car, only to see Tiffany waiting for jaejoong at the entrance.

"Mr Jaejoong-ssi. I See your girlfriend waiting for you." Yuri teased, causing Mr Lee to also laugh at him

"Yah, you kidding me, I rather have you be my girlfriend than Tiffany." Jaejoong blurted out.

"Of course, who wouldn't date me." Yuri said trying to keep her cool.

Yuri and Mr Lee walked towards the entrance and Tiffany bowed and greeted Jaejoong cheerfully. 

"Good Morning Mr Lee. Oh Yuri," Tiffany greeted them

"I got coffee for you Mr Jaejoong." Tiffany eye-smiled

"It's okay, Yuri got coffee for us already. Thank You." Jaejoong said as he tried to walked off to catch up with Yuri and Mr Lee

"Uh, I got breakfast too." Tiffany went after Jaejoong.

"Yuri got that for me too." Jaejoong smiled as he tried to get away from her

Yuri and Mr Lee looked back to see Tiffany chasing after Jaejoong, they laughed as they watched him try to get away from Tiffany.

They walked into the lift and called for Jaejoong.

"Jaejoong-ssi. The lift is here." Yuri called out for Jaejoong

"Ah, I have to go, I'll see you later." Jaejoong ran off and went into the lift.

As the door closed, Mr Lee and Yuri looked at each other and started giggling to themselves as they continue using their phone. 

"Ha Ha! Very funny. Yah, why weren't you two by my side." Jaejoong said

"We're sorry, we didn't want to bother you two." Mr Lee said

"Miss Hwang will definitely kill me if I interrupted you two." Yuri said

"Aish, so annoying." Jaejoong said as he loosen his tie

They got off the lift and walked towards the office. Yuri placed the coffee and breakfast on her table.

"Yuri-ssi. Meet in the office." Mr Lee said as he walked into Jaejoong's office

"Alright." Yuri bowed 

"Yuri, how long do you think Tiffany-ssi will stop bothering me." Jaejoong stood at Yuri's table and asked

"When you stop being good looking." Yuri said as he looked at the worried Jaejoong

"I think that'll be a problem, I tried looking ugly, it just doesn't work. I'm still good-looking as ever." Jaejoong said as he took off his coat and passed to Yuri."

"Aish, Mr Jaejoong-ssi. Suit yourself, I wish you and Miss Hwang well." Yuri said as he took Jaejoong's coat and adjusted his tie. 

"Oh? Is someone feeling jealous. Haha! Thanks. Bring in the breakfast and coffee, and the planner." Jaejoong said as he patted Yuri's head and walked into his office. He couldn't help but smiled to himself.

"Eh?" Yuri smirked as she adjusted her hair. 

She prepared Jaejoong's and Mr Lee's breakfast before going into the office. She walked into the office, with a tray of Jaejoong's and Mr Lee's breakfast.

"Thanks Miss Yuri" Mr Lee said

Yuri sat down and listened to what they said. They had a meeting among the 3 of them discussing about work.

Meanwhile, Yunho, Yoochun & Yoona was walking towards the office where they saw Tiffany mumbling to herself. They laughed to themselves as they walked towards her direction

"Yah! Jung Yunho." Tiffany called Yunho who walked pass her.

"Yes. Miss Hwang-ssi. I'm not late." Yunho said half-heartedly

"Can you please get your girlfriend away from Jaejoong. Aish, so annoying." Tiffany whined

"Girlfriend? Hyung has a girlfriend?" Yoochun looked at Yunho and laughed

"What girlfriend?" Yunho was confused

"That Kwon Yuri of yours. She's always with Jaejoong." Tiffany said

"Miss Hwang, its her job, she's the assistant?" Yoona said as she rolled her eyes

"I guess you're jealous, cause you'll never get close with Jaejoong." Yoochun whispered to himself.

"Let's go." Yoona gestured as they walked off

They got on the lift to their office, leaving Tiffany alone still complaining to herself

"What's with her?" Yunho asked

"Tiffany is always like that. Just let her be." Yoona said

"Not Tiffany, Yuri. She hasn't been answering any of my calls or text." Yunho complained

"Not you too hyung? Jealous much." Yoochun shooked his head

As they got off the lift, they walked towards their tables, while they were getting ready for work, they heard whispers from colleagues.

In The Office

"Yah, I saw Yuri this morning, I loved her outfit. She's so pretty."

"And don't you think Jaejoong & Yuri suit one another."

"They walked side by side, they looked really good together."

"I have a feeling they're already together." 

"Jaejoong & Yuri...." 

Yunho who heard that suddenly got jealous, he threw his suitcase on his table, which made a loud noise, which caused everyone to looked at him. 

"Yah. Don't you guys have work to do?" Yoona said to the 2 girls joking \

He then dragged Yunho to the pantry.

In the Pantry

"Yah. What's wrong with you?" Yoona asked

"Nothing." Yunho said as he turned away to make coffee

"Stop lying to yourself and to everyone, you're jealous aren't you?" Yoona asked

"Of course I'm jealous. Out of everyone he had to choose Yuri?" Yunho said

"Everyone here knows Yuri is very good at her work, she probably got selected because of her skills." Yoona said

"You know what. I'm going change. I'm not gonna be the friend anymore. She's gonna look at me differently. Kim Jaejoong, it's on. I'm gonna assure Yuri is mine." Yunho said as he walked off

"Eh, what does he mean? Yah! Jung Yunho." Yoona was confused by what Yunho meant.

 

THE END

As for new readers, Welcome!! Remember to subscribe, and also comment if the story was bad, good, okay.

Don't worry there will be more Jaeri & Yunri moments in the later chapters, I'll make sure of that.

To Yurisisable: I feel bad for Yunho too. They are getting much much more closer, seeming as if Jaejoong sort of "confessed" to Yuri.

To zoeyqq: Its because her loves one experienced getting hurt from past experiences makes it harder for her to be open. So you're rooting for Jaeri. Jaejoong is showing his true self to Yuri more.

To aehyo_lynn: I'll try my best to update it frequently althought today's chapter was kinda late. So sorry for that. In the further chapter, Yuri will start to open up and express her true feelings.
