MR.JEON 💜📖 Part 27 Dating the CEO?!
Y/N walked out of Jungkook's office a little too fast.
She reached her desk and placed the file down carefully.
Like her hands weren't trembling.
She inhaled slowly.
Then exhaled.
Be normal.
A chair scraped beside her.
Hana.
Y/N didn't even have to look.
She could feel the stare.
Not curious.
Suspicious.
Hana tilted her head slightly, studying Y/N's flushed face and restless fingers.
Hana (casual, but sharp): You were in the CEO's office for... quite a while.
Y/N kept her eyes on her computer.
Y/N (light, forced): Annual report review. He had some corrections.
Hana hummed.
Clearly unconvinced.
Her eyes shifted toward Jungkook's office door.
Then back to Y/N.
Hana: Funny.
She leaned closer.
Hana: Because I heard something break in there.
Y/N's fingers froze for a second.
She swallowed.
Y/N: Probably... his phone.
A small shrug.
Y/N: It slipped.
Hana raised an eyebrow.
Hana: Phones don't usually shatter when they slip.
Y/N finally looked up.
She smiled.
Too perfectly.
Y/N: You know how angry he gets about work.
Hana leaned back slowly in her chair, crossing her arms.
Hana (low): I also know when something's... off.
A pause.
Then Hana's expression softened slightly.
Hana: Are you okay?
That question almost broke her.
Y/N blinked quickly.
Once.
Twice.
Y/N (quiet): I'm fine.
Hana watched her for a long moment.
Then gently said—
Hana: If he's giving you trouble, you know you can tell me.
Y/N: No. It's not like that.
She shook her head quickly.
Y/N: Really.
The clock slowly ticked toward noon.
Y/N stared at her computer screen, words blurring together.
A shadow fell over her desk.
Hana: Lunch.
Y/N blinked.
Y/N: Huh?
Hana grabbed the back of her chair and pulled lightly.
Hana: You've been staring at the same line for ten minutes.
She stood.
Hana: Come on.
Y/N hesitated.
Y/N: I still have—
Hana (firm): No.
She crossed her arms.
Hana: You have a headache, a lot on your mind, and a CEO who scares half this floor.
A small smile appeared.
Hana: You're eating.
They sat across from each other in the cafeteria.
Y/N poked her food quietly.
Once.
Twice.
Hana sighed.
Hana: Okay.
She leaned forward.
Hana: Enough pretending.
Y/N stiffened.
Hana (gentle): Whatever happened in that office... it wasn't "just work," was it?
Y/N looked down.
Her fingers tightened around her spoon.
Y/N (quiet): Hana... promise you won't tell anyone?
Hana didn't joke this time.
She leaned closer.
Hana: On my life.
Y/N exhaled slowly.
Then—
Y/N: I'm... dating him.
Silence.
Then—
Hana (too loud): WHAT?!
Y/N lunged forward instantly.
Y/N: Shhh! Hana!
People around them glanced over.
Hana slapped a hand over her mouth, eyes wide.
Hana (whisper-yelling): You're dating the CEO?!
Y/N nodded.
Hana stared at her.
Then leaned back slowly.
Hana: ...since when?
Y/N: Recently.
Hana squinted.
Hana: Is this why he looks at you like he's about to fire the whole building for breathing near you?
Y/N covered her face with both hands.
Y/N: Please don't say it like that.
Hana studied her carefully.
Then asked quietly—
Hana: Are you happy?
Y/N smiled.
That was the answer.
Y/N: Yes.
Hana leaned back dramatically.
Hana: Wow.
A pause.
Then she grinned.
Hana: So the CEO is whipped.
Y/N laughed softly.
Y/N: You're impossible.
Hana reached across the table and squeezed her hand.
Hana (gentle): Just be careful, okay?
She smiled warmly.
Hana: But I'm happy for you.
Y/N's smile softened.
She picked up her tray—
Buzz.
Her phone lit up.
One name appeared.
CEO ??
Hana's eyes dropped to the screen.
Then widened.
Then sparkled.
Hana (grinning): Ohhhhh.
Y/N froze.
Y/N: Hana—
Hana (excited whisper): Early birds, huh?
Y/N grabbed the phone quickly, cheeks warming.
Y/N: Stop it.
The phone buzzed again.
Hana clapped softly.
Hana: Answer it.
She leaned back.
Hana: I'll pretend I didn't see anything.
Y/N stood up nervously.
Y/N: I'll just... take this call.
She walked toward the quieter side of the cafeteria and answered.
Y/N (soft): Hello, sir.
A pause.
Then—
Jungkook (low, warm): Did you eat?
Her lips curved into a smile instantly.
Y/N: ...a little.
Jungkook: Liar.
She leaned against the window.
Y/N: Hana forced me.
A quiet chuckle came through the phone.
Jungkook: Good.
A pause.
Jungkook: Listen carefully, Miss Y/N.
Her heart skipped.
Jungkook: After lunch, take the rest of the afternoon light.
Y/N: Jungkook, I—
Jungkook: That's not a request.
She sighed softly.
Y/N: Okay... sir.
Then his voice softened.
Jungkook: Thank you.
A pause.
Jungkook: For earlier.
Jungkook: For being strong when I wasn't.
Her grip tightened slightly.
Y/N: You don't have to thank me.
Jungkook: I do.
Another small pause.
Then quietly—
Jungkook: And... I miss you already.
Her smile turned shy.
Y/N: We literally saw each other an hour ago.
Jungkook: Still counts.
She laughed softly.
Across the cafeteria, Hana watched her carefully.
The smile.
The softened eyes.
The way she leaned against the window while talking.
Hana shook her head.
Hana (muttering): Yeah... she's gone gone.
Y/N ended the call and walked back.
Hana raised both eyebrows.
Hana: So?
Y/N: He told me to take it easy this afternoon.
Hana gasped dramatically.
Hana: The CEO cares about work-life balance now?
She grinned.
Hana: Love really does change people.
Y/N nudged her shoulder.
Y/N: You're unbelievable.
Hana looped her arm through Y/N's as they walked out of the cafeteria.
Hana: Unbelievable—
She smiled.
Hana: But right.
And Y/N realized something for the first time in a long while.
She wasn't alone in this anymore.
