Zico’s P.O.V

I smirked when she said my stage name. I knew exactly who she was when I saw her. At least now I knew her name. “So you finally found out who I am, congrats.” I chuckled at her blush. “So what are you gonna do now that you know who I am? Ask for my autograph? Get a picture? Or better yet, ask to go on a date?” I snickered at her embarrassed face. “I guess I wouldn’t mind going on a date with you. You’re pretty cute.” I smirked at her. I saw her scoff to my surprise. She finally looked into my eyes with annoyance.

“No thanks, I don’t interact that way with co-workers,” she flicked her hair then crossed her legs. I couldn’t take my eyes away from her smooth toned legs. When she noticed I heard her clear . “Is there anything you need right now, Mr. Woo?” she asked curtly. I grinned and nodded.

“Why don’t you get me a coffee, pure black.” I waved her away as I stretched my legs on my desk. She nodded then left. I saw her walk away and I couldn’t help myself from looking at her perfect curves. She had a tight high-waisted skirt hugged her hips perfectly. I leaned my chin on my hand as I rubbed my lip lightly with my finger. Something I always did when something caught my eye. When she left I stretched and looked around my desk. I saw a big stack of papers at the corner of my desk. I snarled at it then nudged It. I groaned when I saw the papers fall over. “Damn it, I didn’t think they’d actually fall.” I groaned. I was about to get up to pick them up when I saw Catori come in. I smirked then took the coffee out of her hand. “Here, I have another job for you.” I pointed at the fallen papers scattered around. I could hear a small groan escape her lips.

“Are you serious?” she muttered.

“I’m sorry, what’s that? You don’t want the job as my personal ASSISTANT. I thought an ASSISTANT was supposed to ASSIST their boss when they needed ASSISTANCE.” I emphasized on the same word. She nodded meekly then crouched to pick the papers up. I smirked then retreated back to my seat. This is gonna be fun.

Catori’s P.O.V

I couldn’t thank the lord enough when my shift ended. I clocked out hen ran out of the building as fast as I could. When I knew I was safe from the demanding Jiho I exhaled loudly. I seriously don’t know what I did to get such a job. Why? Why? WHY? After I picked up his papers he made me organize then by date. THEN he made ME WORK ON THEM. I practically did his job! I grumbled under my breath when I remembered the look of satisfaction on his face. I walked tiredly back to my apartment that was close to the company. I was only two blocks away from safety when I heard a honk. I pretended to ignore the voice and told myself I was imagining it.

“Hey!! Catori! Yo! ARE YOU DEAF?!” I shook with anger then turned around.

“What do you want Mr. Woo?” I gritted my teeth at him. I saw him smirk when he knew he had my attention.

“What’s wrong? Last night you were dying to meet me and now you don’t even want to look at me.” Gee, I wonder why I thought with sarcasm.  He snickered then caught up to me. “I thought I’d be nice and walk you home.” He placed his hands in his pockets then half smiled. For an instant my anger towards him vanished when his smile appeared. I frowned and shook my head.

“That won’t be necessary.” I said out flat. “I’m almost home anyways.” I continued walking hoping that he would get the message.

“You sure? This is pretty close to that underground club that you were at yesterday.

“It’s close by.”

“Are you sure you aren’t gonna go to the club instead?” he teased me. He jogged up to my side then nudged me. “Maybe you’ll see Zico?” He laughed loudly at his own joke holding his stomach. I fumed with anger. I can’t believe this, he’s making fun of me for yesterday.

“Shut up. Shut up, or else I’ll tell the club who you are.” I threatened him. I knew he didn’t want people to find out who he was. That’s why he was covering his face with the hat. He froze his actions then growled.

“Then I’ll fire you.” He answered with a threat. This time I froze in my spot. I glared at him and he smirked when he knew he was in control of the situation now. “That’s right; I know your weakness too. Now come with me to the club, I have another performance tonight and I don’t want to go alone.” He looked at me seriously before yanking me with him to the club.

“Why do you want me to go?” I whined while trying to pry his hand off my wrist. He turned to face me with a growl. I could feel his breath on my face. I felt shivers go down my back indicating that he was mad.

“Because you don’t threaten me and get away with it. Now you have to deal.” He pulled me closer to him. I saw him walk over to a black car that was just left to the club. “Wait here.” he instructed. I listened to him afraid that if I didn’t I would get yelled at or fired. I looked at the car and tried to see what he was doing in there but the windows were tinted black. I sighed in defeat then waited for him to come out. When he did he looked completely different. He wasn’t in his fancy suit he had on for work. Now he was in loose skinny jeans and an oversized hoodie. Like before he had on a snapback and his hoodie over it for extra coverage. I looked at him surprised by the complete transformation. “Let’s go.” He pulled me with him inside the club. I looked at my phone to check the time and saw that it was seven. Isn’t it still kind of early for performances? They usually start later.

“Isn’t it too early?” I looked over at him. He simply nodded then brought me backstage.

“Obviously but you didn’t want me to go over to your house so now we have to stay here longer.” My eyes bulged at his words.

“You never said ANYTHING about going to my house!” I exclaimed.

“It was implied.” He shot back. I rolled my eyes deciding not add more to this conversation. I pulled my phone out and started texting Chaelin. “Who are you talking to?” he asked protectively. I looked at him weirdly and pulled my phone closer to me.

“My friend, chill.” I continued texting Chaelin, well that is until he grabbed my phone. “What the heck?!”
 I tried taking my phone back but it was futile with my height compared with his. I realized how tall he was. He was literally a head taller than me. I frowned when I finally stopped trying to reach my phone.

“No you’ll just tell her to come here so you can leave with her.” He read my thoughts perfectly. I groaned and glared at him for being right. “Ayy Hanhae hyung! Over here!” I heard him shout across the room.

“Hey that’s not fair! If you’re gonna have friends I should too!” I stomped my foot. He chuckled and ignored my struggle to call Chaelin. I saw his friend come over with a smile. When he noticed I was next to Jiho he smiled sweetly at me. I felt warmth in my cheeks when I saw his cute cheekbones.

“Who’s this? She’s pretty.” He looked over at me still smiling. “I’m Hanhae,” he introduced himself. “What’s your name?”

“I’m Catori but my friends call me Tori.” I bowed slightly at him. He chuckled and patted my head.

“Am I considered a friend then?” he showed his pearly whites. I couldn’t help but giggle at his words.

“Only if you let me call you Hannie!” pointed at him. He chuckled and nodded.

“Ughh, stop flirting with my friends it’s weird.” I heard Jiho groan.

“Oh shut up Jiho-“

“Don’t call me that here. It’s Zico. Zi~ co~” He squished my cheeks together to enunciate his stage name. I slapped his hands away and snarled.

“I know how to say it.” I frowned. I heard Hanhae chuckle at us.

“She’s so cute!” Hanhae pinched my cheeks. I giggled as he started squishing my cheeks together. He shifted my head towards Ji- Zico. “Look at her!” I saw Zico roll his eyes at his friend then walk away. I talked to Hanhae most of the time. I saw Zico go on and then same effect he had on me last night came back. No matter how much of a jerk I found him out to be, I couldn’t help but be amazed by his skills. It was like the annoying Zico was replaced with a skillful and… hot Zico. Oh my god, STOP, STOP, STOP TORI!! You can’t think your boss is hot! I mentally face palmed myself.

“He’s good isn’t he?” I heard Hanhae complement him. I looked over at him and I could tell that he was proud of Zico. I nodded simply and continued looking at Zico from the side of the stage. “You know, I think he likes you, that’s why he got jealous when I touched your cheeks.” He smiled over at me. My eyes widened.

“That’s not possible, we just met.” I explained. I saw Hanhae look straight at me.

“That doesn’t mean a thing to Zico, he’s very impulsive. He either likes someone or he hates them. You’re definitely on the like list.” He chuckled. “Here, I’ll show you. Just wait until he gets off stage.” I looked at him with an ‘are-you-serious’ face. He laughed and nodded. “Look here he comes.” He whispered. He came closer to me placed a strand behind my ear. I felt his hands snake around my waist and pull me into a hug. I froze in place then snapped out of my daze when I heard a loud grunt.

“Hey if you’re done flirting with my friend I’d like to leave.” He pulled me away from Hanhae.

“No one said you couldn’t leave bro, I’ll take Tori home.” I saw Hanhae smirk. I could feel my cheeks burn at his smirk. Hannie smirked!? What is this?! Well, he is friends with Zico.

“Hyung just shut up, I brought this chick here I’m leaving with her. Bye man.” I felt a protective arm go around my shoulders. I looked over at Hanhae who gave me a knowing look. “You need to stop flirting with my friends; I brought you so you could be miserable not to flirt.”

“Gee thanks, it’s great to know what your true intentions were.” I rolled my eyes. “Bye.” I said out flatly as I pulled my hand out of his grasp.

“Where are you going?” he asked loudly.

“Home, you know where a person lives.” I told with a toddler voice. He frowned and looked around, when he noticed people were starting to stare a smirk crept up to his lips.

“So you’re just going to leave me like that? After all we’ve been through? I can’t believe you’re just gonna leave me like this? Babe, I’m gonna miss you.” His voice trembled. Babe? Who does this kid think he is? I could hear people around us telling me to take him back. WE ARENT EVEN GOING OUT. I saw him walk over to a mid-age woman. “Please tell her to stay with me, I need her.” he turned his head the other way and pretended to cry. I rolled my eyes and face palmed myself.

“Sweetie, I think you should really consider this man. He seems to really love you.” My jaw dropped when I heard the old lady give me advice. From the corner of my eye I could see him smirking. Fine Woo Jiho, you wanna play this game I will.

“Ma’am, I already have so many times. This is the third time he’s cheated on me.” cried out. “It hurts so much to know that even after forgiving him two times he still does it!” I bellowed.

“It was my sister! I already told you that! I have proof. You’re just too stubborn to see that those other times were relatives as well.” He came over to me. He pulled me into a hug and I froze. Oh lord Jesus; please tell me this is not happening right now. “Come with me or else.” He whispered in my ear. Too scared to find out what the ‘or else’ was I followed him to the black car that he changed in.

“Oh young love, always the hardest.” I heard the ahjumma sigh. I groaned and tried pulling out of his arms, when we got into the car. I glared at him.

“WHY, SERIOUSLY OF ALL PEOPLE WHY ME?” I continued glaring at him.

“Simple. I like teasing you.” I frowned and crossed my arms. Hannie was wrong he doesn’t like me, he likes TEASING me. “Now tell me where you live?” He asked me while going on the main street.

“I’m not telling you.” I grumbled and looked out the window.

“Suit yourself.” He sighed then took a left, opposite of my house.

“Wait, where are we going?” I asked him when I realized he was driving farther and farther away from the club.

“My house.”
