CEO Jeon

I was on my way walking inside of the company and right next to me was my assistant. I saw people bowing, greeting me as I was walking to the elevators. I got to the elevator and I turned to my assistant, Oh Sehun. "What's our schedule today?", as the doors were closing. 

Sehun pressed the floor number, 9. "We have to go to this meeting with a fashion designer in Gangnam. That starts at 12. Oh, I forgot to tell you, you have a meeting with the CEO because of next week's schedule. He wants to know what you have planned for the Korea Fashion Show. We also have an event today happening at the Seoul Hotel. Each department is going to be there and even other companies too." He furrowed his brows while looking at the clipboard in his hands. "Starts at 7 in the evening."

I groaned, "Shoots. I forgot about that event. I was focused on the fashion show that's happening in a week." I looked at my watch on my right wrist, showing that its 8 minutes past 9. "Okay. I can just wear a dress that I wore at my friend's wedding. Also, make sure everyone in our department comes to the event tonight." My phone was ringing in my purse. I turned to Sehun, "You're my date tonight. I can't go with anybody else." Sehun had a confused look on my face, "What about Kyungsoo Hyung?"

I shook my head, "He has a date tonight with Haeun Unnie." I answered my phone, "Yes, this is Kyunghee speaking." I groan after I heard the words; mistake and deadline. "No, there should not be a mistake and I know about the deadline. You tell them that I am not going to be happy if they make a mistake on the colors of the outfits for the fashion show." I quickly looked at Sehun and whispered, "Remind me to call the sewing and fabric company for this around 10."

We got off of the elevators when the doors opened. "Got it. Ms. Do." Sehun answered me. We quickly went to our office. I went inside and I see people drinking their coffee and chit-chatting with their neighbors. They haven't noticed me coming in. I heard Sehun clearing his throat. Sehun stood next to me and whispered to me that I should not yell because it's bad for my blood pressure. I breathe out slowly, "We will have a meeting in the next 15 minutes. So you guys should guess what's the meeting is about." I looked at them with my cold eyes.

I walked my way to my office with Sehun and closed the door, "You know, you got to relax. I received an email about your health. I don't want your brother to say that I'm not taking care of you." Sehun looked at me with concern, "Kyunghee-ah, just take care of yourself. That is all I ask for you."

I sighed, nodded. "Okay, Oppa. Don't worry when I need help, I'll text you or call you." I cleared my throat, "So, Mr. Oh, you mind getting me coffee?" I gave him a smile after asking for my request. He playfully rolled his eyes, "Okay, Ms. Do. One coffee coming right up." He shoved his hand in his pocket while walking out of my office. "Call me when you need me.", he waved his hand.

~~*~~

A black BMW pulled over next to the Jeon company. I looked outside of the window. I groaned internally while looking at the people standing in parallel lines. I looked at my two secretaries, one sitting in the front and one sitting next to me. "Jimin and Taehyung, who said you can do this?", furrowing my brows. "I don't need this.", massaging my temples. I heard whispering amongst them. I glared at them.

Jimin cleared his throat, "Well Kookie, you do know that they did this every Monday when your father was the CEO?" I opened my mouth to yell because I was getting very angry. Jimin looked at Taehyung for help.

"Kookie, I know you're upset, but you can always tell them not to do this. You are the CEO now.", said Taehyung. He looked scared, but he knew that Jimin couldn't handle his anger well. He looked at me, "So instead of making a scene, you can properly tell them not to do this again."

I closed my eyes trying to calm myself down. I exhaled and inhaled, "Okay, I'm calm and good. Let's go." I fixed my suit and tie. I cleared my throat. That's when they both opened their car doors and they came to my side. Taehyung opened the door for me and I came out of the car. When I came out, I saw the people bowed their heads at me.

A tan good-looking man came up to me, "Mr. Jeon, Welcome." He bowed to me. He smiled at me with his dimple cheeks. I looked at him, "Mr. Kim, do you mind telling me what is the meaning of this?" I looked at everyone and I can see them getting scared. "I don't need people coming out here to see and bow down to me. I need them to be working. I am just your CEO. I am not a king. I am very burdened by this. So please you don't have to do this anymore. Understood?"

Mr. Kim seemed flustered on what I told him. "O-oh okay then." Mr. Kim clapped his hands and that's when everyone ran back inside the company. As soon as everyone went inside, "Well, shall we get going inside, Mr. Jeon?" He looked at me with his smile on his face.

"Namjoon Hyung, why did you tell me about this? You know I wanted to be treated just like a regular worker.", I complained to him. Namjoon stood straight and smiled, "Well Kookie, as you said and I quote, 'I am a CEO'." He chuckled, "So you can't be treated how you wanted to be treated because you have a title." He patted my right shoulder, "So stop your complaining. You knew this would happen when you took your father's position. Let's go inside, okay. You have a meeting in about 10 minutes okay." He looked at his watch.

I sighed, "Fine. I understand." I stood straight and walked, but I stopped. I turned around at them. They looked puzzled. "And it's Mr. Jeon to you guys as well.", looked at them with a firm look on my face. Jimin mumbled, "Now he's getting his title stuck to his head." Taehyung and Namjoon snickered when they heard him. Jimin gasped and covered his mouth.

I groaned, "Agh let's go inside already." I went further away as I headed to the entrance. They quickly walked to me while giggling at what Jimin said. I walked inside the company and people bowing their heads at us. I acknowledged them when I saw them. I made my way towards the elevators and Namjoon Hyung pressed the up button.

"So your schedule today is that you have a meeting in about ten minutes as what Namjoon Hyung said. Well, in about 6 minutes.", Jimin looked at his watch. His phone rang and he grabbed it from the inside of his suit pocket. He answers, "Yes, Hobie Hyung? Yea? What?" He seemed upset with the phone call. He hung up and looked at me. "We have a situation. Someone mixed up the documents we got from our partnership with American Corporation of Architect and the Visual Arts in Japan collaboration. I will tell you Jin is not happy."

My eyes opened wide from the news that Jimin was telling me. I groaned, "Crap, Jin is angry. That can't be good. Jin worked hard for this." Jin Hyung gets very scary when he is angry or upset. Even though I took my dad's position of being a CEO, he's still my Hyung. I massaged my forehead. "Gather each head of the department for a meeting about this!"

~~*~~

I was in the meeting room with my staff. I stood up in front of the table. "So you do all know why we are here today?", I crossed my arms staring at everyone's' eyes. I hear nothing. I breathed through my nose trying to calm myself down. "I just talked with the sewing and fabric company manager that is making our clothes for the Seoul Grand Fashion Show next week. He told me that he didn't make a mistake on the colors we had wanted for the fashion show because it was written in the documents that we had given him before he would make the clothes for the fashion show."

Sehun handed me the documents that the manager emailed me. I saw and read what was highlighted, "It states that we wanted orange for the sequin dress and hot pink for the embellished dress with ruffles." I slammed the papers on the table, "Can anyone tell me who wrote this without my referral?!"

I was fuming. I can't believe this. I had to calm myself down. As I was doing that, I felt lightheaded. I quickly grabbed the edge of the table as I was about to fall. Sehun grabbed me from behind to keep on my feet. I heard gasps in the meeting room. "Are you okay, Ms. Do?" with concerning eyes.

I looked at him and nodded. He quickly grabbed the cup of water from the table and handed it to me. "Thank you.", I mumbled the words. I stood straight and looked at my staff, "So anyone wants to confess at the mistake he or she had made?" I looked around and I saw a hand slowly coming up.

"Ms. Suh, huh?", I crossed my arms. "You're fired.", not batting my eyes. "Please leave your resignation letter when you leave today." She stuttered through her words while she was tearing. "I'm j-just an intern. I didn't know that I made a mistake because I have written it the same as it was written on the draft paper."

I raised my eyebrows, "An intern?" I scoffed, "Who in the right mind would give an intern who only worked here for less than two months an important job to do!" I see no hands raised. "Oh, I guess you guys are just gonna get cutbacks on your paychecks or better yet fired!", slamming my hands on the table. After I said that, I see a girl whispering at the girl next to her. "Do you have anything to say since you're whispering, Ms. Park and Ms. Hwang?", I looked at them with my cold eyes as I crossed my arms.

Ms. Hwang stood up from her seat, "It was me who told her to do it. But I didn't make the mistake because it was the colors written upon the document." She looked down in embarrassment. She started to cry. Ms. Park also looked down because she was embarrassed for her.

I looked at Ms. Hwang with some anger, but I tried to not show it. "Ms. Hwang, I did not want those colors, nor have I said those colors. If you have been paying attention during the meetings we had previously, you would know what colors I wanted." I raised my eyebrows, "Don't think I haven't seen you playing with your phone or nails. I don't except this behavior of you not paying attention." I pointed at the door, "You're fired this instant. Please give me your resignation letter before you leave." As soon as I was done talking, she quickly left the room.

I turned and looked at everyone else, "I hope this is a learning experience for you all. You should not let your high position get the best of you. I do not expect the behaviors of superiors bossing their inferiors around just cause they don't want to do the work. Then you should not be working here at all. I expect you to pay attention during these kinds of meetings. If I see any of this happening again, consider yourself fired. Thank you. You guys are dismissed." After I was done, I saw people rushing out especially the intern was the first one to leave. I groaned and sat on my chair next to me. I massaged my forehead.

As I was massaging my forehead, I felt a hand on my shoulder. "You okay?", Sehun furrowing his brows. He put his hand on my forehead. "Kyunghee, you're really warm." He took out his phone from the inside of his suit pocket. "I'm calling Junmyeon Hyung. He's probably at the hospital for his shift."

I took away his phone. "No, I am fine. It's probably because I was fuming earlier." I chuckled, "Good thing that I only fired two people." He playfully scoffed and poked my forehead, "Aigoo, seeing you laughing seems like you're getting better."

I rubbed my forehead. I playfully rolled at my eyes at him, "Since we are done, we should get back to work and fix this mess." I stood up from my seat, but I grabbed onto the table to keep me steady. He grabbed my shoulders, "See, I told you." He was getting angry at me for not listening. "You need to rest okay. Let's get you home."

I sighed, "Okay, I'll rest in my office. Just go to the meetings for me. I will still go to the event tonight that way I can rest for the daytime." He opened his mouth, but I stopped him. "Mr. Oh, I will have you to cover the meetings for me. Please." I looked at him with my brown eyes.

He sighed, "Okay, I will do it, but only because you are going to rest." He had his hands on the side of him, "Go inside, Ms. Do. I will get you some jasmine tea. I will take care of your schedule." He wrapped his arm around my shoulder so that way I won't collapse. "Let's go inside to your office."

~~*~~

After I had my two video call meeting with the American Corporation of Architect and the Visual Arts in Japan collaboration. I called for Taehyung through the intercom, "Mr. Kim, is everything ready?"

"Yes, Mr. Jeon. Everyone is here.", his voice spoke through the intercom. I said, "Okay. Thank you, Mr. Kim." After I hung up and saw Taehyung and Jimin at the doorway. They both bowed at my presence. "Mr. Jeon, they're here." they both said, and off they went to let the heads of each department inside.

I shook my head. I stood up and saw the heads coming inside while they were gesturing them to come and sit down. I went to sit with them as I sat in the middle of the group of males. I looked at everyone's faces, but I saw someone who doesn't belong here. "What brings you here in this meeting when this is for the heads?"

Sehun looked at me calmly as he spoke. Surprisingly, he did not seem nervous to me. "I'm here to cover for Ms. Do. She is not feeling good at the moment. She asked me to be her messenger." He said in a stern voice. He did not drop any expression on his face.I cleared my throat. "Okay. Thank you for filling for her. American Corporation of Architect and the Visual Arts in Japan collaboration documents was switched. You can tell her who switched important documents?"

Without hesitation, Sehun spoke up. "Oh I could tell you, Mr. Jeon, Ms. Do never switched anything and would never such a thing. I would know because I always check what documents need to be given to her to sign." He spoke with class with a bit of sass. He did not mean to show his irritation. But he felt like I was accusing him.

The tension in the room was uncomfortable for the other heads. "Um, Sir.", Hoseok spoke. "Maybe it was someone else other than us." He scratched his head. He looked at Seokjin. "Mr. Kim seemed a bit better. He talked with the people from the collaboration.", he sensed that I calmed down. "Okay. Mr. Kim are you okay with this?", I asked Seokjin. He nodded, "I'm fine. Don't make this a big deal. They send me another document to sign." He sighed in relief.

I looked at the rest of the heads. "I hope this doesn't happen again. I wanted to let-", then I got interrupted by a phone vibrating. I grabbed it from my pocket. I groaned internally then ended the call. "Sorry about that, like I was saying-", it was ringing again. I answered quickly, "Yes Mother? No what? Okay I'll call you later." I hung up. I heard snickering and snorting from the guys as Sehun had a blank look on his face. I cleared my throat. "So I wanted to let you know I am taking over my father's company. I hope we can work well together.", I stood up and bowed at them.

The heads and the assistant clapped and nodded. "Yes. Mr. Jeon.", They all stood and bowed their heads at me. The first one who spoke was Mr. Oh. "Well if you excuse me, I have a meeting to go to." He bowed and left.

I narrowed my eyes at him leaving. I scoffed and imitated him. Namjoon placed his arm around my shoulder, "Don't let him get to you. He is doing his job." He chuckled at my reaction. "He's very hardworking and also Ms. Do. She is pretty professional and gets things done quickly." He pressed his lips, "Hopefully she's okay."

I rolled my eyes. "You shouldn't worry about that." I waved my hand away to keep his arm off of me. I groaned, "That guy with his snarky comment, 'I always check what documents need to be given to her to sign.' Pfft.", imitating Mr. Oh's voice. The guys were laughing at my childish act.

~~*~~

I was facing the view of the outside of the company. I had my eyes closed while resting my body. My arms were crossed while leaning my chair back. KNOCK! KNOCK! My doors opened and Sehun saw that I'm resting. He came up to me. "Kyunghee-ah, wake up.", patting my shoulder to wake me up.

I slowly opened my eyes and see Sehun in front of me. I yawned with covered hands and rubbed my eyes. "Yea, Sehun? What's up?" He smiled at me. "I just wanted to know if you wanted to grab lunch."

I looked at him with my dazed eyes from my nap. "What time is it?" I looked at the clock from my desk, 1:05 pm. I yawned once more. "Okay.", I nodded. He looked at me, "You sure? You want me to take you home?" He saw how tired I look. "I can take care of your schedule if you want to rest."

I shook my head. "No, I should be telling you this." I laughed at my words. "You're working too hard for me. Thanks, you're the best friend I could ever ask for." His lips were pressed together when he heard the word, 'Friend'. He awkwardly chuckled. "Yea. No problem." He nodded. "Ready?" He smiled weakly at me.

I was being oblivious to his expression and nodded brightly "Okay. Where do you wanna eat?"I stood up and grabbed my coat from my chair. I fixed my coat and headed to the door while I opened. "So what did you during my nap? Thanks again for taking care of my schedule. I needed a nap." I smiled brightly at me. He shrugged his shoulders, "No biggie. Just the meetings you had scheduled and I met with the new CEO today. His name is Jeon Jungkook. The former CEO's son."

"Son? Have I seen him before?", I was pondering on what he looks like. "Nope", shrugging his shoulders. "He was away for college in the states and came here. I just met him today too." He bowed to people who bowed at us. "He wanted to have a meeting with you and the other heads to figure something out. There was a mistake with some documents that got mixed up." he pressed the button to go down.

I titled my head, "Oh well, you could have woken me up. It seemed important." He shook his head. "You needed the nap. You're about to faint on me. I don't need that." I pouted out my bottom lip, "I'm fine. It doesn't look good since I haven't met him yet."

He chuckled, "Well I don't think you will like him. He has this aura where it's similar to you." I gaped, "Hey I am not that bad." I playfully slapped his arm. He laughed and the elevator doors opened. "Just kidding.", he pulled him in. "Aigoo, you're too cute.", pinching my cheek. I sarcastically rolled my eyes as I walked away from him, "Haha you're funny."

~~*~~

"So why did your mom call you during the meeting?", Taehyung asked Jungkook. Jungkook sighed, "Wanted to know if I am doing okay with the company. My dad is worried about me doing this." He palmed his face and groaned.

Jimin spoke, "So why did you take over the company?" He looked at Jungkook with curiosity. Jungkook heaved out a breath, "Because my dad is not feeling good. So he thought it would be better he retires now and hand me the company. I couldn't stress my Hyung out because he's a doctor." Jungkook rubbed his neck in embarrassment, "Plus you guys threw your dreams away for your family to stay into my dad's business which he is grateful for. So might as well take his position and stay with you guys."

They all laughed at his confession. Namjoon rubbed his head as an affection, "Aigoo, Our Kookie is growing up well." Namjoon laughed some more while seeing him fix his hair. He growled, "Stop it, or you will be fired." They all laughed again, "You can't fire us, because you love us.", Jimin holding onto his shoulder. They all gave him a pat on the back while playing around with their maknae.

"Okay okay stop. We are still in a working environment. So pull yourself together.", fixing himself up. We got to elevators. "I'm hungry. What do you guys wanna eat?", he licked his lips in hunger while he pressed to go down. They all shrugged their shoulders, "Whatever you want, boss?" Seokjin teased him. Jungkook rolled his eyes at the comment.

They all chuckled and Yoongi had his hands in his pocket. "I wanna hurry and eat and rest. We got the event tonight at 7." They all groaned and scrunched up their faces in displeasure, so did Jungkook. Yoongi frowned as he was talking, "But do we have-?"

Jungkook stopped him, "Yes. It's for my dad's retirement." Hoseok pouted his lips while he nodded. They shook their heads. "Let's stick together.", Hoseok suggested. "I don't like these types of events. It's too cheesy and the people here are so fake, trying to sly their way into getting high position in the company", he rolled his eyes at the thought of that.

Namjoon fixed up his coat. "Well that's their way of survival. It's to eat or be eaten basically." He realistically spoke from their view. Jungkook nodded, "Probably that's what my dad had to do to have this company."

"Yea. It sucks, but we can't do anything it a", Jimin nodded in agreement. We all got inside when the doors opened. Jimin pressed the lobby button to go down. "So anybody got a date for the event?"

"Hey, I thought we were going to stick together tonight.", Hoseok wailed. He narrowed his eyes at him. Jimin held his hand to surrender. "Just asking." They all rolled at Jimin. "Boy, the girls here just want us for our good looks and money." Hoseok talked in sassiness.

"Of course, look at me.", Seokjin flipped his hair. They all had a blank expression. "Anyways.", Jungkook cut off the oldest one while he was dragging the word. "I rather stick to going together." He felt annoyed when he thought about girls. "No girls.", Jungkook shook his head. Jungkook was thinking about the time he had someone. He shook that thought out of his head as he was getting angry.

Taehyung looked worried as he looked at him, "Woah, you okay?" He nodded as he waved his hand lightly. He looked at the two people in front of them. Taehyung nudged his arm with his pointed chin in the direction of the two people, "There's Mr. Oh with Ms. Do." They all look at them heading out of the company.

Yoongi interfered as she spoke, "You should be careful. She might kill you if you touch her or look at her." Yoongi is never the one to say anything about people's personalities. 'Huh, that's a first', Jungkook wondered as he was looking away from them.

Namjoon wrapped his arms around himself as he felt shivers behind his back, "I felt the chills when she looked at me as I accidentally bumped into her." Jungkook ignored their warnings, "Let's go get lunch. I'm starving." He walked to the exit while the others followed, "Hey wait for us!" They quickly walked to catch up to him.
