MR.JEON 💜📖 Part 25 When the CEO Closed the Blinds
Jungkook stepped out of his car a few moments later.
His PA immediately walked beside him with a tablet.
PA: Good morning, sir. Today's schedule—10 a.m. strategy review, 11:30—
Jungkook nodded absentmindedly.
But his eyes weren't on the tablet.
They were on the entrance.
Y/N had just reached the doorway.
She stopped briefly and bowed politely.
Y/N: Good morning, sir.
Jungkook bowed back.
Too deep.
Her eyes widened slightly.
The PA stopped speaking mid-sentence.
PA: ...sir?
Jungkook straightened as if nothing had happened.
Jungkook: Continue.
The elevator doors slid open.
Y/N stepped inside.
Normally, Jungkook never shared elevators.
He always waited for the next one.
Today—
He walked inside without hesitation.
The PA blinked in surprise but followed anyway.
The doors closed.
Silence filled the elevator.
Y/N stood calmly, hands clasped.
Eyes forward.
But inside, her heart was racing.
Then—
Jungkook: Miss Y/N.
She stiffened.
Y/N: Yes, sir?
His tone was casual.
Too casual.
Jungkook: Your outfit today... it suits you.
Her eyes widened.
Y/N: Th-thank you, sir.
The PA stared straight ahead, pretending he hadn't heard anything.
The elevator dinged.
Their floor.
The doors opened.
The moment they stepped out—
Heads turned.
Whispers.
Curious stares.
Y/N walked faster toward her desk.
Hana immediately leaned toward her.
Hana: Did you just... share an elevator with the CEO?
Y/N waved it off quickly.
Y/N: Coincidence. Don't make it a thing.
She shuffled some files on her desk, pretending to be busy.
Then—
Ping.
A message appeared.
CEO's Office: Please come now.
Hana frowned at the screen.
Hana: Already?
She looked at Y/N suspiciously.
Hana: Why is he calling you so soon?
Y/N swallowed.
Y/N: Yesterday's meeting was canceled, right?
He gave me some instructions then.
She grabbed her notebook.
Y/N: Probably a follow-up.
Hana nodded slowly.
Still unconvinced.
Y/N walked to the CEO's cabin, irritation quietly building.
She knocked.
Jungkook: Come in.
His PA was still inside.
Y/N straightened immediately, professionalism back in place.
Y/N: You asked for me, sir?
Jungkook: Yes.
He turned to his PA.
Jungkook: Can you check the storage inventory from last quarter?
A pause.
Jungkook: And print it. Twice.
The PA blinked.
PA: ...now, sir?
Jungkook: Now.
The PA nodded and left.
The door clicked shut.
Jungkook walked to the window.
Then slowly pulled the blinds down.
Every single one.
Y/N crossed her arms instantly.
Y/N: Jungkook.
He turned around.
Already smiling.
Jungkook: Why does my babe look so angry?
He tilted his head slightly.
Jungkook: Did someone hurt you?
She stared at him.
Unimpressed.
Y/N: Yesterday.
This morning.
Even in the car—I told you exactly how to behave in the office.
She took a breath.
Y/N: Hana is already asking questions.
She gestured toward the door.
Y/N: Why you're calling me so soon.
What am I supposed to say?
He raised his hands in surrender.
Jungkook: Okay. Okay.
He stepped closer.
Jungkook: I won't.
A pause.
Jungkook: I'll behave.
Then he pouted slightly.
Jungkook: Just... don't scold me this early in the morning.
She tried to stay serious.
She really did.
But a small laugh slipped out.
His eyes lit up immediately.
Jungkook (soft): Uff... finally.
He stepped closer again.
Jungkook: You smiled.
She noticed instantly.
And stepped back just as quickly.
Y/N (warning): Jungkook. No. We're in the office.
Another step.
Her back touched the wall.
He tilted his head slightly.
Eyes warm.
Amused.
Jungkook: The blinds are closed, babe.
She opened her mouth to argue—
But he was already there.
One hand resting against the wall beside her shoulder.
Close enough to make her heart forget its rhythm.
He pinned her there gently.
Protectively.
Y/N (whispering): You said you'd behave.
Jungkook (soft): I am behaving.
A pause.
Jungkook: I'm just... remembering.
Her breath hitched.
Jungkook: Do you remember the college library?
His voice softened with the memory.
Jungkook: The back corner near the window.
Where you pretended to study but kept correcting my notes.
A smile tugged at her lips.
Despite herself.
Jungkook: And that time you scolded me for being late...
He leaned slightly closer.
Jungkook: Then waited with me till sunset anyway.
Their foreheads almost touched.
Jungkook: You always did that.
A pause.
Jungkook: Got angry... but never walked away.
Her eyes softened.
Y/N: That was a long time ago.
Jungkook: No.
His voice turned quiet.
Sincere.
Jungkook: It just feels far because we missed each other in between.
He brushed his thumb lightly along the wall near her hand.
Grounding.
Jungkook: I don't want to miss you anymore.
Her heartbeat thundered in her ears.
His face was inches away now.
Too close.
Too dangerous.
The air between them felt heavy.
Then—
His phone rang.
Once.
Twice.
The sound shattered the moment.
Jungkook shut his eyes in frustration.
Jungkook: ...shit.
He pulled back slightly and took the phone out of his pocket.
Jungkook: One minute, babe.
She nodded quickly.
Still pressed against the wall.
Heart racing.
He glanced at the screen.
The name there erased the softness from his face instantly.
His father.
Something dark flickered in his eyes.
Without hesitation—
He slammed the phone against the desk.
Once.
Twice.
The plastic cracked loudly.
The phone fell to the floor, shattered pieces scattering across the cabin.
The sound echoed through the room.
Y/N flinched.
