Hearts Unspoken To  (Changmin+OC+minor Yunho/Jaejoong)

 

TAKE 1 I t W a s D e s t i n y

It has been weeks since he was at the airport waving goodbye to the two lovebirds who were also his childhood friends. He always tells himself that big boys don’t cry, but seeing how other people at the airport were sending off their friends and relatives with tears, he just had to join the club.

Tears of a man are rare but it is as priceless as the pearls in the ocean. He couldn’t help but smile at his own thoughts.

So there he was, laying down in bed and staring focused at the plaster-ceiling as if it was a map towards a hidden treasure. His eyes were fixed to one spot, though his thoughts were scattered. If it was months ago, he could be hanging out with Jaejoong and Yuna at one of their favourite restaurants in town right now. But today, he was absolutely clueless on what he could do for the rest of the evening.

Then he remembered… There was a time when he sat over-looking a lake and talked to Yuna about his plans for the future. He hadn’t actually meant that he had no idea on what he wanted to do. He had everything planned to the roots. He was ready to create a Talent Agency Company of his own, where he would search for fresh talents and market them to the public. He had the eye of beating all the best talent agencies in Korea. But that dream has been crashed by the hands of his own father who threatened to use his influence to degrade his new company six feet underground once it starts to gain attention from fellow businessman. It will be totally impossible to develop the new company with such ‘support’ from his father. Truthfully, Changmin knew his father couldn’t afford to lose his talents to anyplace else in the economy. Changmin already had his father’s company’s signature stamped on his forehead ever since he entered university.

Thus, he had no choice but to accept his throne in the company starting tomorrow.

It couldn’t be that bad, right?

It was too early when the alarm clock went off. Several groans and kicks were heard and visible from the lump on the bed. A hand started to crawl from under the heavy blanket in search for a button which seemed to be furthering away from the creepy fingers. The hand soon gave up and a head suddenly appeared with closed eyes, narrowed eyebrows and dangerously ruffled hair.

“Shut up…” his lips mumbled. He searched side-ways, trying to make sense of where he was and finally caught the sight of the annoying Mr. Alarm Clock. He intended for a slap when his palm landed on the button and the room instantly quieted. He let out another groan and slump back under the blankets, covering himself from head to toe.

It didn’t even last a second when his room was being intruded by the maid who had an ice-cream bell in her hands. “Time to wake up, sir. It’s your first day of work!” And the bell went off, deafening his ears.

He grunted helplessly. “Yah, why am I being treated like a school kid,” he continued mumbling under his breath and roughly took off the blanket that was covering his body before pulling himself up from the bed. The maid gave a little shriek at the sudden sight of Changmin’s nicely built upper body and ran out of the room with a tomato head.

“What’s up with her?” he uttered as he brought his left hand up and rubbed his left eye while he was still eyeing the wide-opened door. “Thank you for leaving my door open!” he called out seconds later.

He then turned to check the time again before forcing himself to get out of bed and closed the door. He had to drag his feet all over the room with sleepy eyes and he couldn’t even remember if he had put the toothpaste on before brushing his teeth. He ended up brushing his teeth twice. His closet didn’t help him either. All the colours looked the same that he had trouble in finding a matching tie for his shirt. And when he arrived at the dining table, his father had already finished his toast and was already at the sports section of the newspaper.

“Good morning,” his father greeted over his cup of coffee.

“Morning…” he replied and took a seat on his father’s left. As soon as he was seated, the kitchen’s maid came to him and poured him his favourite cup of tea. He mouthed a little thank you and grabbed a toast from the bread’s basket and spread some peanut-butter paste on one side before shoving it into his mouth.

Breakfast seemed a bit dull. Everyone minded their own businesses for the whole fifteen minutes before Mr Shim was told that the car was ready. Changmin had to leave his 5th piece of toast half-touched when his father insisted that they go to the office together.

“But I’ll be driving myself starting tomorrow, okay,” Changmin insisted back which Mr Shim gave no replies to.

Both of them sat quietly at the back of the Mercedes, looking outside the windows for something entertaining to watch. The road was quite busy in the morning that Changmin ended up looking into other people’s cars until its driver noticed him and gave him a flat face. Other than that, there were only trees and stone buildings flashing endlessly.

It took them about an hour to reach his father’s building.

“Meet me at the conference room at 10 sharp for the introductory meeting. I have a few people that I want to introduce you to.”

Changmin gave a simple nod before following his secretary towards his office.

“This is your room, sir. And I am Jung Yunho, your appointed secretary. Just let me know if you need anything,” the man spoke as soon as they were inside his room.

“Yes. Thank you,” Changmin accepted the hand-shake that was interrupted by his father a moment ago.

“I’ll be back with your schedule, sir.”

Changmin nodded and watched as the tall man walked out of the room. He then circled the spacious room which was filled with expensive furniture and decorations. Everything was in black and white except for the carpet he was standing on, which was the tone of the lightest baby blue. He thought that the sofa looked comfortable and the flowers on the coffee table were very artistic. He even admired his own table and the painting on the wall. He walked further and took a seat behind his table and was immediately captivated by the sky-high view from his windows. He chuckled. His father always knew how to please him so that he won’t be running away again. If only his father didn’t spend too much on this room and increased the bonus of the workers instead.

Soon enough, it was time for the meeting. Yunho faithfully escorted him towards the conference room with several files in his hands. Changmin wondered if Yunho was actually very dedicated to his job or that he was just afraid of him. He is, after all, the Chairman’s only son.

He was glad that he arrived on time. There were several people already waiting in the room which he could only reply to their smiles with nods. The Chairman, his father, entered the room a few minutes after.

“Welcome to the Board of Directors weekly meeting. This will be a quick one since it’s a very hectic week for the company. I know most of you still have several tenders to revise and project payments to claim before the end of the day,” Mr Shim began as he scanned the floor for missing persons. “But I’m afraid we have to wait for one more person to arrive.”

“I’m here!” suddenly a female barged into the room looking slightly flushed after the rush from the elevator. With a few files securely placed in her arms, she bowed to the whole meeting room in apology. Changmin couldn’t help but scan her from head to toe. He was curious as to what post this girl is holding. There was a lot of authority present around this girl who he figured might be in her 20s just like him. Her posture and wardrobe were very corporate-like and her manners were slightly odd in his eyes. He just hoped that none of his work will be connected with this person. He’s already tensed just by looking at her.

As soon as the girl took her seat, Mr Shim continued the meeting. “So to begin, as I’ve promised, I’d like to introduce you to our new Vice President, Shim Changmin.”

A round of applause was heard. Changmin stood up and beamed politely to everyone. Then his eyes landed on her, who didn’t even pay attention to him let alone putting her hands together at the important announcement. Instead, she was pretending to be busy writing in her organiser with her legs crossed and her back comfortably leaning on the chair’s backrest. Changmin instantly felt annoyed and sat back down with a sour smile on his face. He didn’t expect that she’d be rude too.

“And this,” Mr Shim turned towards the late intruder, “will be our new Head of Divisions, Ms Nuki.”

Upon this awaited opportunity, Changmin pretended not to hear anything and simply stared at the pen he was playing between his fingers. He could guess that Ms Nuki knew what he was trying to do when he saw the smirk in her eyes as she was sitting down.

“Wait, what??”


TAKE 3 S u r r e n d e r

It was a disaster. The first few weeks of his working career turned out to be exactly the opposite of what he had expected. Without even warning him, his father has selected a new Head of Divisions for the company, who could also be known as the Deputy Vice President. He didn’t know what his father was thinking bringing two fresh graduates into the Board at the same time and appointing both of them with such important roles! Well, of course he himself would be an exception since the company was practically his after all. But bringing in a person like her is simply unacceptable. If he was the Chairman next week, he would gladly dismiss that rude girl and replace the position with another decent man, with job experience.

Changmin sat in his chair and gazed at the thundering grey clouds outside. He was glad that nature agreed with him. A heavy sigh left his lips as he resumed his focus on the revised accounts that was scattered on the table. All of them were records of the month’s income and spending which has been revised twice by the Finance Division. He was supposed to approve them and send them back to his secretary so that he can submit them to the Chairman for the final approval. However, he noticed that something wasn’t right in one of the statements that he decided to look through for mistakes or fraud. It was a bit confusing to look and make sense of the accounts but he was a logical thinker. It may take him some time but he will definitely finish this by the end of today.

“Sir, Ms Nuki is here to see you,” a voice came after a few knocks on the door.

“It’s alright. Send her in.”

Yunho nodded and opened the door wider for the young lady to enter. Changmin could immediately recognise the perfume she had on. If it wasn’t being worn by her, he would’ve been captivated by the smell which will naturally pull his eyes towards the face and the y figure of the possessor. But since it was her, he was completely immune that he wasn’t even tempted to leave the sight of the confusing accounts to greet the girl.

“I’ve asked you to leave a copy of the revised Leon tender on my table this morning. But I can’t find it.” She sat down on the sofa and crossed her legs as if the room was hers.

Changmin didn’t bother to pay attention to this girl. Though, he still had to act normal and boss-like in front of her. “You can’t find it because I did not submit any copies to you.”

“Why didn’t you?”

“Why should I when that project is mine? Lee Young Jae is my client and you have absolutely no rights to interfere,” Changmin was ready for her rage if there will be any. In whatever disagreement they have so far, none of it ended with them smiling or forgiving each other. It was always the doors and tables which had to receive the physical blows from either of them. How he wished that his father could hear the deafening sounds all the way in his office at the end of the hall.

“Well, excuse me! I happen to be your deputy so I have all the rights to give any second opinions!” Her eyes shot at the guy behind the tables. “And what do you think you’re doing with all those finance statements?”

“That’s none of your business as well.”

Changmin could only imagine how red her face has become at this moment. His head was still faced down as he pretended to write endless notes inside his organiser. Her brief silence was all it takes to indicate that she was starting to feel pissed.

“Why are you always picking a fight with me?” she hissed suddenly.

“Oh, is that what I’m doing?”

Changmin slowly lifted his head, still maintaining to look superior. As he has suspected, her face was as red as ever and now there were even glitters in her eyes. Wait, are those tears?

The guy was stunned. Nuki has always appeared strong and courageous. Never once in these 3 months has he witnessed such facial expressions on her pretty face nor did he ever wish to see it. Not only that, he just noticed that she had never spoken to him like that. Their conversations had never before involved themselves as a person outside of the company. And just now she was asking why he had always picked a fight on her…

No, this is business and people would do anything to get to the top.

“Look, don’t come in here and act like my mother and just do what I’ve told you to do. Is that so hard to understand?”

“Fine.” Within seconds, she stood up and made her way towards the door. Right before she turned the knob, Nuki turned around and faced Changmin once again. “Just tell your father that I’ve decided not to come tonight.”

“Are we having something tonight?”

But before he could utter the question, the door was already closed shut. Softly, this time…

“Are we expecting someone?” Changmin asked, looking over at his mother at the other end of the living room.

She peeked over the magazine that she was browsing and threw him a smile. Changmin then looked over at his father on hi
