Thinking straight is hard alright

Help, or a distraction?

Key. What kind of name even is that? That question was on Jonghyuns mind a lot on the days leading up to the interview. He found himself thinking about his best friends’ friend a lot. Wondering about what he was like and what he looked like. Was he tall or short? Did he act as strange as his name suggested he did? Jonghyun was looking forward to this interview more than he liked. His father always said that he should never have expectations, so he would never be disappointed.

However, he couldn’t help himself, and lost in his thoughts he almost walked into the door to his office the morning of the interview. When he was inside, he decided to clean up a little, and get some work done while he waited for Minho and whoever he was bringing with him.

About a half hour later, there was a knock of the door, and Choi Minho peaked his head into the office. “Ready?” he asked. Jonghyun just nodded his head. He could feel his stomach twist in anticipation. No expectations rememb-…

He cut himself off, or rather he stopped thinking all together. Minho had stepped back to let his friend in, and Jonghyun was rather taken aback by the newcomer. To put it simply, he was maybe, no, he was definitely the most gorgeous person he had ever seen. To hell with no expectations, this guy had just met all of them. Jonghyun had to keep himself from not gaping while taking in the others features.

He had a slim build, and he was, to Jonghyuns’ demise, a little taller than he was. He had black, soft looking har, that was parted in the middle, that framed his face nicely. He was wearing black skinny jeans, a white t-shirt and some kind of black jacket. It was very simple, but Jonghyun decided it suited him very well, and even thought it was simple, you could see that he had put a lot of thought into his outfit. His face was, in Jonghyuns’ opinion, (and mine too oops) perfection itself. He had sharp, observant eyes that were lined with eyeliner, making them look dark and smoky, (and hot). His lips were small and bow shaped, and it wasn’t until he looked at them that Jonghyun realized he was being talked to.

“It’s nice to meet you, sir,” Key said with a small bow. Jonghyun stood still for a few seconds, before he remembered that he was supposed to be professional, and returned the action. He several times had to remind himself that this was a job interview, and not just a viewing of possibly The Most Gorgeous Human Being Ever™.

“Yeah, um it’s nice to meet you too,” Jonghyun managed to say. “L-let’s have a seat over here,” he while gesturing to his desk. He also mentally punched himself for stuttering. In the corner of his eye, he could see Minho leaving the rood, and shutting the door behind him, leaving the two of them alone.

Jonghyun sat in his chair behind his desk, and tried using a few seconds to collect himself. He really couldn’t make a fool out of himself in front of a possible future employee. He looked up to see Key looking at him from across the desk, waiting for him to say something.

“Yeah, so um, I’m Jonghyun, and you’re Key right?” Jonghyun said, while trying to keep his voice steady.

“Yeah, that’s me” Key said with a nervous laugh. “My real name is Kim Kibum, but please call me Key”

“Alright, will do” Jonghyun was trying his best to keep this professional, and not awkward, but somehow his brain was not functioning the way is usually did. Ask him something you idiot. Anything.

“So, um, why do you want to work for our company” he finally managed to get out. He looked over at Key, who was crossing his legs, getting ready to speak.

“Well, you see, I’ve always loved fashion, and I’ve always had great fashion sense. I design my own clothes at home, and working in a company like this, one of the biggest fashion companies in Korea, (oh yeah it’s a fashion company I think I forgot to mention that oops) has been my dream since ever.” Key had to pause, because he was too busy talking to breath, however, he showed no sign of slowing down. “When Minho told me there was an opening here, I was so happy, you have no idea. You may not now me, and let’s be honest, how much can you really learn about someone from just an interview, but I really, really think I could be of help here, and that I would do a good job as your assistant.” Key finally finished his rant, and looked Jonghyun straight in the eyes, waiting for a response.

Jonghyun was a little moved, and taken aback by the others resolve. So much that his mouth went into auto pilot mode, and he couldn’t help the words that escaped from it.

“That’s great, because I have already decided to hire you”

What?!?, Jonghyun thought.

“What?” Key said.

“What?” Jonghyun said.

Keys’ eyes looked like they were going to pop out of their sockets. “Really?”

Jonghyun sighed internally, wanting to punch himself in the gut. He couldn’t just say he was going to give Key his dream job, then say Lol jk its just a prank bro two soconds later. Key didn’t seem like a bad guy, and if he was absolute at doing his job, Jonghyun could just fire him later. Seems like there was no going back now.

“Yeah” Jonghyun couldn’t help but smile, because Keys expression was hilarious. His eyes were, if possible, even wider than they were a second ago, and his mouth was open, as if he had no muscles to keep it closed. He looked like in fish, in Jonghyuns’ opinion. A hot fish. With nice legs. Fish don’t even have legs, you idiot. Jonghyun mentally shook his head at himself, but Key distracted him before the fishy thought could continue.

He was currently doing a full 90-degree bow, while saying thank you over and over again. It even looked like he was going to take a step forward and hug Jonghyun, but eventually decided not to. Somehow, Jonghyun couldn’t help but feel a little bit disappointed.

“You can start on Monday, be here 9am, sharp.” Jonghyun said to Key, who just nodded, and said thank you about a billion times more, while making his way out the door.

When Key shut it behind him, Jonghyun slouched back in his chair, feeling a tiny bit defeated, however, in the end, he was actually glad he made that little slipup.
