The new guy

Nothing is better than you

It was the day after that fateful day. It was a normal day at the office. Everyone was minding their own business. Yet, Jae Suk was bothered by one thing which are his workers. Every single one of them; even innocent Suk Jin who did nothing wrong. He can hear them chatting among themselves; mostly about him, and was rather annoyed by it. He then marched out of his sound-proof office, went to the vending machine nearby and bought ice capuccino. He drank a sip of his coffee and sighed a lot. He began to get even more pissed when he saw what they were doing.

"Song Ji Hyo-ssi, I do not know exactly how many times you came late but you came late too much! Even worse, you keep staring at the computer and do nothing." An annoyed mark appeared on Jae Suk's head. "Honestly I could not fire you as we are short of workers here. Aigoo I don't know what to do with you anymore. Haha-ssi stop staring at a picture of your wife. Gary-ssi continue to do your work instead of daydreaming. Kwang Soo-ssi STOP DOODLING GIRAFFES ON YOUR REPORT FOR THIS WEEK. Haish, other people would have gone insane woth workers like you. Oh, I almost forgot one thing, Suk Jin-ssi, please record the meeting with the new member later in the evening."

Jae Suk then walked back towards his office; groaning about the money that their company earns which was very little; barely enough to ensure that the company isn't bankrupt and everyone earns enough money from it.

"We could certainly use the new worker now. From what I've heard, he's very efficient in doing his tasks." He was so enveloped in his thoughts; on his way back to his office, he didnt notice that Haha spilled hot coffee on him, Gary accidentally shot a spitball at him and Ji Hyo tripped and fell onto his foot; which caused him to trip.

Jae Suk then stood up; not realising that anything happened to him and limped towards the door to his office. He sighed in defeat; his workers were the cause of him doing so. When he sat down on his luxurious chair; which he brought from home, he noticed the coffee spill and the dried up spitball on his green sweater; which he got from his workers for his birthday. He then shouted angrily from his office. Unfortunately, his office is soundproof and nobody heard him.

Meanwhile, his workers  were chatting among themselves; not even knowing that their boss was screaming. Secrets were revealed; mostly about their naggy boss, gossips were spread, news was announced, basic chats were also thrown in their normal chats. Haha announced that he was going to have a kid, Kwang Soo gossiped about Jae Suk watching things that he wasnt supposed to watch secretly, Gary recited his new poem about love and Ji Hyo just stared at them with her trademark blank face. When they have nothing to talk about, it became really awkward; so awkward until Jae Suk thought that they were working at last; which was really rare of them to do so.

When a muscular guy entered their workplace, nobody realised he even existed until there was awkward silence; because they have nothing to talk about. They were confused as hardly anybody comes there besides them; well, the pizza deliveryman was the only person who even goes there and its only for delivering pizza; while receiving cash for it.

The workers then begin to whisper excitedly among themselves; thinking that he was a client or even better, a new worker. They gossiped about his muscular body and wondered why a man like him would ever come here.

Meanwhile, Ji Hyo, was just staring blankly at him. She was suddenly startled when her boss came out suprisingly from his office.

"Finally, the new employee is here. You people are seriously embarrassing the company in front of him. Aigoo, what to do with you all," Jae Suk began to rant until the new employee stopped him.

"Yoo Jae Suk-ssi, if you want me in the company, you better stop ranting and let me introduce myself," he stared at Jae Suk; who was obviously frightened by his threat. "So, my name is Kim Jong Kook. I hope that we all can get along. Please treat me well."

The other employees stared at him; amazed by the way he can handle the naggy boss. They clapped and cheered for him; thinking that he will be like them. When they got back to work; more like talking, they introduced themselves to him, well, tried to.

"Do your work. Now." Jong Kook was glaring at them; and they felt intimidated by his charisma.

Things got quiet. Jae Suk was surprised when it was quiet. He only heard the sound of mouses being clicked, pens furiously writing on the paper and printers and printing paper.

He then walked outside to check on his workers and saw paradise; well according to him. He finally saw them working diligently  unlike their normal selves. He chuckled to himself; knowing that the new employee made it happen. He then walked towards Jong Kook and thanked him; over  and over again.

"Jae Suk-ssi, get back to work as I have work to be completed by today." Jae Suk saw fire spewing out of Jong Kook's body; even though it was just his imagination of Jong Kook's overpowering charisma.

Jae Suk then nodded quickly and ran as fast as he could back to his office. As he had completed his work for today, he decided to surf the web to watch funny videos. He didn't realise that someone came into his office.

"Jae Suk-ssi," he turned around and saw a frightening thing; more like Jong Kook looked annoyed. " I helped you by making the rest of my fellow employees work like they were supposed to but here you are watching cat videos."

Jae Suk then explained to him why he watched cat videos; while his hands were trembling and his face was pale. Jong Kook then nodded and forced him to find work to do. When he left the office, Jae Suk doodled Jong Kook's face and scribbled on it when he had finished doddling it.

'"I shall get my revenge," he thought to himself and cackled loudly. Unfortunately, everyone heard him this time and laughed; including Jong Kook.

Chapter 5: I was so ready for Jaesuks revenge so I was surprised at his fondness for the emerging couple. Is he ever going to get his revenge or?-

But here we see your typical spartace action you know holding onto each other while laughing and whatnot! How sweet~ If I can say something though that scene might have worked better if it wasn't so detailed about the two of them being oblivious of their actions. Oblivious is fine but to say it outright they are is underestimating us spartacers of their would be natural skinship no?
Im actually enjoying this more as a slice of life/series of one shots so far because it seems to jump from place to place. I do hope you'll continue the story!

Chapter 3: Damn Jongkook makes his appearance - I couldsee his inner Coach Kook personality shining through keke
Personally I would like them to have some level of maturity as they are all working adults even if staff is short you know? And considering this is set in Korea (since youre keeping the honorifics here) there is absolutely no way a new worker in a subordinate position would be so outright blunt (borderline rude ) to his boss - the rest of the members are okay though JK ia older than them~
Hm if Jongkook was confronting Jaesuk for his boss not working it would be more subtle you know? You said something about his natural charisma + well fit body so you definitely can use that to convey JKs feelings so perhaps rather than looking obviously annoyed JK would probably have a more neutral expression.. I cant exactly think of how JK would have told JS to stop watching cat videos- maybe by saying something along the lines of almost questioning his authority and giving him more work because JK needed "help"?
I do like the comedic aspect though- our RM cast here seems like your typical rom com band of friends at work keke and I do wonder what sort of revenge Jaesuk is planning. ..

Chapter 2: Jongkook strikes me a little odd here - for someone who seems to have their life together I means he's doing okay just working out with no job? And he got the date mixed up (Im thinking hes a bit of a scatterbrain here since he got the schedule mixed up and it wasnt particularly a busy day..)
Also it is just casually bumping into even a pretty girl hm.. would he blush at that? I could see where this is going tho ~

Chapter 1: I think it's a little too early to tell (although I have to wonder how you have a muscular voice?) but I like this so far! ^^
