MR.JEON 💜📖 Part 30 The Fake Colleague Plan
Evening settled over the office.
The lights were dimmer now, casting long shadows across the mostly empty floor. Most of the employees had already left, their desks quiet and abandoned for the night.
At her desk, Y/N carefully slid her laptop into her bag.
Just as she zipped it closed—
?? Ping.
Her phone lit up.
She glanced down.
Jungkook:Can we go for dinner tonight?
Her lips curved instantly.
A soft smile she couldn't control.
Across the desk, Hana slowly lifted her head, narrowing her eyes suspiciously.
Hana: Why are you smiling like you won the lottery?
Y/N immediately straightened.
Y/N (whispering): Shh! Mr. Han is still here.
Hana's eyes widened.
Hana: Oh! Okay, sorry!
Y/N sighed and looked back at her phone.
Her fingers hovered over the screen before she typed.
I can't tonight ?? I have to pick up my brother and do grocery shopping. Mom told me.
Send.
A few seconds passed.
?? Ping.
She checked the message.
Jungkook:Okay.
She relaxed slightly.
Then—
?? Ping.
Another message appeared.
Jungkook:I'll come with you.
Her eyes widened instantly.
She typed fast.
Y/N: No Jungkook! I can't handle my brother if you're there. He asks 1000 questions.
The typing bubble appeared immediately.
Jungkook:Then I'll answer them.
Y/N glared at her phone.
Y/N: No. We'll plan some other day.
She shoved the phone into her bag and stood up.
Y/N: Bye Hana.
Hana waved lazily.
Hana: Yeah Y/N! Take care!
Y/N had barely taken three steps toward the exit when—
A sharp voice echoed across the office floor.
Jungkook: Y/N.
Her steps froze instantly.
That wasn't boyfriend tone.
That was CEO tone.
The entire floor went still.
Several employees glanced up nervously.
Y/N slowly turned.
Jungkook stood near the conference room, expression serious, arms crossed.
Jungkook: Why are you being careless?
Y/N blinked, completely confused.
Y/N: What happened, sir?
Jungkook's voice remained cold.
Jungkook: The meeting got canceled. You were supposed to inform me immediately.
Whispers began spreading across the room.
Employees exchanged looks.
Y/N stood there, stunned.
She had no idea what he was talking about.
Without another word, Jungkook turned and walked toward the elevator.
Y/N remained frozen.
Mr. Han rushed toward her anxiously.
Mr. Han (whispering urgently): Please go, Y/N. He looks angry. If you don't go now, he might fire you.
Y/N stared at him.
Y/N: But I—
Mr. Han gestured frantically.
Mr. Han: GO!
Panicking, Y/N hurried toward the elevator.
The doors slid open.
Inside stood Jungkook.
Leaning casually against the wall.
Smirking.
The moment she stepped inside—
The doors closed.
Y/N gasped.
Y/N: You—
She smacked his arm.
Y/N: Why did you scare me like that in front of everyone?!
He caught her wrist mid-hit.
Firm.
But gentle.
Jungkook: If you hit me again, I will definitely come with you.
Y/N glared.
Y/N: You're unbelievable.
Jungkook shrugged.
Jungkook: I told you. I'm coming.
Y/N groaned in frustration.
Y/N: What am I supposed to say if my brother asks about you?!
Jungkook shrugged again.
Jungkook: Say the truth.
Y/N gasped dramatically.
Y/N: Are you crazy? If he knows, everything will collapse! He'll tell my mom before I even open my mouth.
Jungkook raised an eyebrow.
Jungkook: Then tell him I'm your colleague.
Y/N crossed her arms.
Y/N: My colleague doesn't follow me to grocery stores.
He stepped slightly closer.
Jungkook: This one does.
She shot him the sharpest side-eye possible.
He only smiled wider.
Ding.
Ground floor.
Y/N sighed.
Y/N: Fine. You're my colleague. Nothing else.
Jungkook nodded thoughtfully.
Jungkook: Hmm.
Y/N pointed a finger at him.
Y/N: And no weird behavior.
Jungkook: Define weird.
Y/N: No staring. No smirking. No protective arm moves. No CEO voice.
Jungkook lifted his hands in surrender.
Jungkook: Okay.
Students poured out of the building, filling the sidewalk with loud chatter and laughter.
Y/N scanned the crowd nervously.
Beside her, Jungkook stood casually with his hands in his pockets.
Several girls walking past whispered excitedly.
Y/N elbowed him.
Y/N: Don't stand like that. You look too expensive.
Jungkook tilted his head slightly.
Jungkook: I am expensive.
She elbowed him harder.
Suddenly—
A loud voice shouted.
Min-Jae: NOONA!
A teenage boy ran toward her.
He stopped abruptly when he noticed Jungkook.
His eyes narrowed.
Suspicious.
Min-Jae: Who is this?
Y/N forced a smile.
Y/N: My colleague.
Jungkook bowed politely.
Jungkook: Hello.
Min-Jae looked him up and down.
Min-Jae: You don't look like a colleague.
Y/N internally screamed.
Jungkook tilted his head.
Jungkook: What do I look like then?
Min-Jae crossed his arms.
Min-Jae: Like someone who likes my sister.
Y/N choked.
Jungkook tried very hard not to laugh.
Min-Jae squinted at him again.
Min-Jae: And why are you picking me up?
Y/N answered quickly.
Y/N: He had work nearby!
Jungkook added calmly.
Jungkook: I insisted.
Y/N stepped on his foot.
Hard.
He didn't even react.
Min-Jae hummed suspiciously.
Min-Jae: Hmmm.
Then he pointed a finger at Jungkook.
Min-Jae: If you hurt her, I will report you.
Jungkook's expression softened.
Serious now.
Jungkook: You won't have to.
Min-Jae blinked.
Min-Jae: Huh?
Jungkook spoke calmly.
Jungkook: Because I won't hurt her.
Silence followed.
Y/N looked at him.
Her brother blinked twice.
Then shrugged.
Min-Jae: Okay... I kinda like him.
Y/N: YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HIM?!
Min-Jae shrugged again.
Min-Jae: He looks honest.
Y/N glared at Jungkook.
Y/N (whispering): See what you did.
Jungkook leaned closer and whispered back.
Jungkook: Told you. Say the truth.
She huffed and walked toward the parking lot.
Then—
Min-Jae suddenly stopped.
He stared ahead.
Min-Jae: ...Noona?
Y/N kept walking.
Y/N: Hmm?
He slowly pointed.
Min-Jae: Are... are we going in that car?
Y/N nodded casually.
Y/N: Yes.
His mouth dropped open.
Min-Jae slapped his own cheek.
Min-Jae: PINCH ME.
He stared at the car again.
Min-Jae: Am I dreaming?
Y/N grabbed his backpack strap.
Y/N: Stop being dramatic. Come fast.
Min-Jae turned slowly toward Jungkook.
Min-Jae: Hyung... is this yours?
Jungkook calmly opened the driver's door.
Jungkook: Yes.
Min-Jae froze.
Completely.
Then—
Min-Jae: NOONA WHAT KIND OF COLLEAGUE IS THIS?!
Y/N shot Jungkook a warning look.
Y/N: He works very hard.
Jungkook smirked.
Min-Jae circled the car in disbelief.
Min-Jae: Noona... this is the type of car you see in K-dramas before someone gets kidnapped.
Y/N opened the back door.
Y/N: Get inside before I kidnap you.
Min-Jae immediately jumped in.
The moment he sat—
Min-Jae bounced slightly.
Min-Jae: OH MY GOD THE SEATS ARE SOFT.
He leaned forward between the seats.
Min-Jae: Hyung, does this car massage you too?
Jungkook started the engine smoothly.
Jungkook: Yes.
Min-Jae screamed.
Min-Jae: NOONA YOU WORK WITH BILLIONAIRES?!
Y/N buried her face in her hand.
Min-Jae leaned forward again.
Min-Jae: Hyung, what exactly do you do?
Y/N answered instantly.
Y/N: He makes coffee.
Min-Jae blinked.
Min-Jae: In a palace?
Jungkook coughed to hide his laugh.
Min-Jae leaned back dramatically.
Min-Jae: If this is coffee salary, I'm changing my career path.
Y/N turned around.
Y/N: Focus on your exams first.
Min-Jae sighed dramatically.
Min-Jae: Noona, if you marry rich, I support it.
The car went silent.
Y/N froze.
Jungkook tightened his grip on the steering wheel slightly.
Amused.
Y/N: WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT MARRIAGE?!
Min-Jae shrugged lazily.
Min-Jae: I'm just saying.
He glanced at Jungkook again.
Min-Jae: I don't mind this hyung.
Min-Jae grinned.
Min-Jae: He looks expensive but kind.
Jungkook glanced at him through the rearview mirror.
Min-Jae caught the eye contact.
Jungkook smiled calmly.
