Twenty One
HEARTH“Good-morning, Jonghyun-nim!!! Welcome back!”
Everyone stood up, showing their greeting to Jonghyun after one week-holiday.
“Good-morning! I have come back from trip. Here is some sweets! Hope you all like it!”
Jonghyun handed his trip gifts to a staff then went into his office.
Yuna was happy to see him finally back although there is no sweet eye contact from him anymore. She smiled in her heart.
…..
“Omg, Seoyon-shi, what is it in your hand? A gift from Chairman-nim?”
“Omg you’re special to him.”
“Aigoo, I’m so jealous.”
A few female staffs approached Seoyon after she left Jonghyun’s office.
Seoyon kept smiling happily, showing her bragging act to other staffs.
“He said it's something special from his heart. I’ll check it when I arrive home.” Seoyon loudly said to make sure everyone especially Yuna would hear it.
Yes Yuna heard everything. She felt upset inside but she knew it’s not her place to be upset anymore.
“We’re nothing to each other. Cheer up, Yuna!” she consoled herself.
Yuna built up her positive spirit to continue her work.
-----///-----
“Yuna, make three cups of coffee and bring it into small meeting room.” A senior staff came to Yuna.
“Deeee!” Yuna quickly went to do as order.
She brought three cups of coffee to meeting room. She paused from walking a little once she opened the door and saw Jonghyun was also inside.
“Come in, Yuna!” Jin called her.
Yuna bowed then put the cups to a guest, Jonghyun then Jin.
“Take it back, I don’t drink.” Jonghyun spoke up.
“Dee? Dee!” Yuna was stunned a little then she took it back.
“It’s ok. Put it here, I’ll drink both.” Jin helped Yuna.
Jonghyun turned to stare at Jin. Jin just gave a smirk.
“Oh Yuna, stay here! I may need something else during meeting.” Jin stopped Yuna from leaving the room, made Jonghyun stared at him again.
“Dee!” Yuna was surprised with sudden request. She stood near the door, watching the meeting.
*Meeting*
“….. Hmm what should we do with this one?” -guest-
“Yes this is a little bit hard.” -Jonghyun-
“Yuna, any idea?” Jin suddenly asked Yuna, got everyone surprised again.
“What are you doing, Jin?” Jonghyun whispered to Jin.
Jin ignored Jonghyun. He turned to Yuna again. “I’m sure you have some ideas. Speak up!” Jin allowed her.
Yuna was stunned but she did have some ideas. She spoke up her ideas.
The guest stood up and clapped after heard her ideas.
“This is the best. Let’s do it! I’ll sign on the contract right away.” The guest satisfyingly said.
The meeting went so well and the fact that Yuna’s ideas made the guest signed on the contract right away made Jin and Jonghyun amazed.
After signing, they sent the guest off at elevator.
…..
“Good job, Yuna!” Jin admired Yuna.
Yuna shyly bowed. “Thanks for giving me a chance!”
Jonghyun felt annoyed. He turned to leave but was stopped by Jin.
“Aren’t you going to make a party for Yuna tonight? When you gave Yuna’s project to Seoyon to do the presentation until succeeded, I remember you did a party for her.” Jin teased Jonghyun.
“You can do for her. I’m not free tonight.” Jonghyun shortly said then turned to leave.
Yuna felt so heavy with Jonghyun's words and behavior. Yuna finally spoke up. “CEO-nim, you don’t have to do it for me. It’s just my luck.” she rejected the party.
“You’re so modest, Yuna.” Jin replied with a soft smile.
“FAKE!!!” Jonghyun sniffed then left.
Yuna became teary to hear his insulting words.
"Don't mind him! Let's go back to work!" Jin comforted her from Jonghyun's hurtful words.
They went back to work.
-----
When it's almost time to finish work, Yuna went to Jin's office to give his jacket to him back. Unexpectedly, Jonghyun was also inside. Jonghyun ignored her by taking out his phone to play.
"What's up, Yuna?" Jin asked.
"CEO-nim, I'd like to return your jacket back to you. I've done the laundry. Thank you!" Yuna handed him with a bow.
"Don't mention it!" Jin warmly smiled back.
Jonghyun who was sitting on sofa, pretending to ignore Yuna, suddenly turned to stare at them after hearing Yuna has Jin's jacket with her.
Jin noticed Jonghyun's stare and understood what he was thinking. He burst out laughing.
Yuna frowned at the sudden laugh of Jin. She had no idea what it was about.
"Look like someone is thinking dirty about us. Alright, you can leave now, Yuna. Good job for today!" Jin said then Yuna bowed to leave. She got a little eye contact with Jonghyun. She was so scared with the stare of his. She quickly left.
.....
"What is that stare, Kim Jonghyun?" Jin asked in teasing way.
"Why was your jacket with her?" Jonghyun madly asked.
Jin smirked. "Why do you care? Are you jealous?"
"No, not at all. I don't have feeling for that cheap girl anymore." Jonghyun denied.
"I can see that you really like judging her." Jin sighed.
Jonghyun stood up and turned to leave.
"She is being bullied again. Yesterday she got wet all over her body. She dared not to come out. She locked herself in bathroom, waiting for everyone to leave work. I accidentally caught a few staffs talking about bullying. I went to help her out in bathroom. I gave my jacket to her because her cloth was all wet. This is it." Jin described.
Jonghyun listened to Jin but he didn't give any comment.
"I asked her a little bit about your breakup. She said you misunderstood with her. Jonghyun-ah, you should listen to her. Don't just judge her unfairly like this!" Jin stated his true feeling.
Jonghyun turned to Jin with mad stare, got Jin a bit scared.
"I don't believe her words. I believe my eyes. I saw she and that guy were in her room at night, making love. She enjoyed having on her bed with him. She betrayed me. She was using me because I'm a chairma
