CEO JEON'S CLUMSY SECRETARY
1
Seoul had many successful CEOs, but none were as famously intimidating as Jeon Jungkook — the 27-year-old billionaire who ran Jeon Corporation, one of Korea’s most powerful fashion and luxury companies. He was known for three things:
1. His cold eyes that could silence a room
2. His impossibly high standards
3. And the fact that he never smiled at work… ever
Employees said he was born in a suit, raised on business books, and trained to fire people before breakfast. Nobody dared to breathe loudly in his presence. The entire 35th floor, where his office stood like a throne room, lived in constant fear of him.
But nobody knew the truth—
Behind that icy expression and strict discipline, Jungkook had built a heart made of glass. Too many fake people, too many betrayals in the business world had taught him one thing:
Softness was dangerous. Feelings were distractions. Love was a weakness.
So he locked all of that away.
And then came Kim Taehyung.
A 23-year-old bundle of chaos wrapped in a boxy blazer and carrying a bag full of hope. Cute, clumsy, soft-hearted… yet unbelievably bold and talkative. He reminded people of sunshine with a touch of disaster.
Taehyung had recently graduated with an Arts degree but desperately needed a job. His family wasn’t poor, but they weren’t rich either. He wanted to help his parents, make them proud, and survive adulthood without his savings disappearing on coffee and impulsive shopping.
So he applied as a secretary at Jeon Corporation.
Why?
Because the job description said:
“Only brave, confident individuals should apply.”
And Taehyung, in his infinite confidence, said proudly
“Yah, I’m both! I can do this!”
He didn’t know he’d end up working under THE Jeon Jungkook — a man so strict that even elevators seemed to move quieter when he was inside.
The first time the HR team saw Taehyung, they blinked twice. He was adorable. Puppy eyes, boxy smile, messy brown hair, cute speech patterns, and more enthusiasm than caffeine. Honestly, he didn’t look like someone who belonged in a corporate jungle.
Why?
Because every other secretary before him quit within 2 weeks.
Jungkook was impossible to work with, and the company desperately needed someone. Anyone.
So they sent Taehyung to the 35th floor.
The moment Taehyung stepped out of the elevator, he tripped over absolutely nothing and fell flat on the shiny marble floor — papers flying everywhere like confetti.
The staff gasped.
Jungkook looked up from his glass office.
And that was the exact moment Jungkook’s life took a turn.
He saw Taehyung.
Cute, messy, embarrassed Taehyung… rushing to gather papers, apologizing to the floor, bowing to the elevator, blushing so hard he looked like a strawberry.
Something in Jungkook’s chest moved — something he didn’t recognize.
Annoyance?
Curiosity?
Softness?
No. Impossible. He didn’t “soften.” He was Jeon Jungkook.
But then Taehyung looked up, caught his eyes, and gave the cutest boxy smile.
tae said : “Annyeonghaseyo! I’m Kim Taehyung… your new secretary!”
The whole office froze.
Jungkook blinked.
This clumsy kid was supposed to be his secretary?
He almost fired HR on the spot.
But then Taehyung bowed… too fast… hit his head on the desk… yelped quietly… apologized to the desk… again… and Jungkook felt something warm tickle inside his cold heart.
And just like that—
A strict CEO and a sunshine disaster collided.
Taehyung would soon discover that Jungkook wasn’t just cold… he was possessive, jealous, secretly soft, and hiding a heart that only needed the right person to melt.
Jungkook would learn that Taehyung, despite being clumsy and bold, could change his world in ways he never expected.
There would be fights.
There would be laughter.
There would be accidental touches, jealous moments, office drama, and slow-burning, heart-melting love.
They were opposites.
Totally different.
Yet destined to crash into each other again and again.
This is not just a workplace romance.
This is the story of how a cold CEO’s world gets turned upside down by his cute, chaotic, bold, soft-hearted secretary.

The morning sun was bright in Seoul, but Kim Taehyung was brighter.
He stood in front of the tall glass building of Jeon Corporation, breathing deeply like he was about to enter a battlefield.
Kim Taehyung
Okay Tae… fighting! You can do this. New job… new life… new responsibility… absolutely NO mistakes today. You will NOT embarrass yourself.
Then he tripped on the last step.
His bag fell.
His papers exploded like fireworks.
His phone slid away on the pavement.
Kim Taehyung
“Aishhh why am I like this?!”
He scrambled on the ground gathering everything, blushing as the guards tried not to laugh.
Stepping into the lobby was like stepping into another universe. Everything was shiny, expensive, polished… and terrifying.
Employees walked confidently with tablets and files. Security guards stood stiff like statues. Receptionists typed with robotic perfection.
Taehyung walked like a confused puppy.
He reached the reception desk.
Kim Taehyung
Good morning! I’m the new secre—ow!”
He hit his forehead on the counter.
The receptionist blinked.
Receptionist
“New… secretary?”
Kim Taehyung
(rubbing his head)
“Yes! Kim Taehyung! I start today!”
Receptionist
“Sir… you are assigned to the 35th floor.”
The receptionist whispered dramatically
Receptionist
“That’s the CEO’s floor.”
Taehyung felt his soul leave his body.
Kim Taehyung
“M-MWO?! The CEO?!”
The receptionist nodded with pity.
Receptionist
“Good luck. You’ll need it.”
🚀 The Dream-Killer Elevator Ride
The elevator doors opened with a ding. A tall employee inside whispered:
Employee
“35th floor? You’re going to Jungkook-ssi?”
Taehyung nodded nervously.
Employee
“May God be with you.”
The elevator climbed.
10th floor.
20th floor.
30th floor.
Ding — 35.
The doors opened and Taehyung stepped out, immediately tripping on absolutely nothing again.
And this time, it was worse.
This time, they flew right in front of Jeon Jungkook.
🧊 Enter Jeon Jungkook — The Cold CEO
Tall. Sharp. Gorgeous.
Black suit tailored perfectly.
Cold eyes focused like lasers.
He stood outside his office with his arms crossed, looking like a Greek god sculpted out of discipline and irritation.
Taehyung didn’t see him at first, because he was too busy crawling on the floor gathering his papers.
Taehyung froze like a rabbit caught in headlights.
Jungkook blinked once.
Slowly.
Judgmentally.
Jeon Jungkook
“…What are you doing on my floor?”
Taehyung scrambled up, bowing 90 degrees, 120 degrees, 180 degrees—nearly falling again.
Kim Taehyung
(panicked)
“A-annyeonghaseyo! I’m Kim Taehyung! Your new secretary!”
The entire office staff stopped moving.
Someone whispered:
Employee 2
“THIS is the new secretary? He looks like a fallen dumpling.”
Jungkook’s eyebrow twitched.
He scanned Taehyung up and down.
Cute face.
Messy hair.
Shaking hands.
Clumsy body.
Totally unqualified.
Totally unprofessional.
Totally… adorable?
Jungkook mentally slapped himself.
No. He did not find people adorable. Especially not employees.
Jeon Jungkook
(cold voice)
“You’re late.”
Kim Taehyung
“I-I left early but I tripped and then my bus came late and then a pigeon attacked my biscuit and—”
Taehyung shut his mouth instantly.
Jungkook turned away with a sigh.
Jeon Jungkook
“Follow me.”
🖇️ Inside Jungkook’s Office
The room looked like a palace of minimalism.
Black. Silver. Glass.
Everything spotless.
Taehyung entered and accidentally hit the glass door behind him.
Jeon Jungkook
“Are you always this… uncoordinated?”
Kim Taehyung
(offended)
“No! Actually I’m very—”
He tripped over Jungkook’s rug.
Taehyung sat.
Then immediately stood again because he sat on the armrest instead of the seat.
Jeon Jungkook
(deadpan)
“Sit… properly.”
Jeon Jungkook
“Tell me, Kim Taehyung… why do you think you qualify to be my secretary?”
Kim Taehyung
(confidently)
“Because I’m hardworking, positive, full of energy, and I smile a lot! :)”
Jungkook’s expression said: Why is this happening to me?
Jeon Jungkook
“…And what about experience?”
Kim Taehyung
“I have lots of experience! I worked in a café! I made coffee, handled customers, cleaned tables, and I can carry five drinks at once! Without spilling more than two!”
Jeon Jungkook
"What about office skills?”
Kim Taehyung
I can type fast! And… I know Excel. Kind of. Also I’m very good at finding memes.
Taehyung smiled brightly.
Something in Jungkook’s chest flickered.

Jeon Jungkook
(coldly)
“You’ll start with something simple. Organize these files.”
He gave Taehyung a large stack.
Taehyung nodded enthusiastically……then dropped the entire stack.
Kim Taehyung
“Aish—sorry! Sorry! My hands slipped!”
Jungkook rubbed his temples.
Jeon Jungkook
“Why did HR send me a child?”
Kim Taehyung
“I’m not a child! I’m a responsible adult! I even pay taxes!”
Jeon Jungkook
(dry)
“Do you want a medal?”
Taehyung puffed his cheeks, about to retort—
then the phone on the desk rang.
He panicked and grabbed it.
Kim Taehyung
(yelling)
“HELLO?!”
Jeon Jungkook
“Lower. Your. Voice.”
Taehyung whispered loudly
A delivery man entered with a big crate.
Delivery Man
“Delivery for CEO Jeon!”
Before Jungkook could respond, Taehyung jumped forward confidently.
He lifted the box.
The box was heavy.
Taehyung was not.
Kim Taehyung
“Ummm Boss… it’s… a little… hea—”
Jungkook’s expensive vase shattered.
Employees outside (whispering):
“He’s dead.”
“Poor new secretary.”
“Nice knowing him.”
Jungkook slowly turned toward Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung
(softly)
“…sorry?”
Jungkook stared at him for three long seconds.
Then… he surprised everyone.
Jeon Jungkook
(flat voice)
“…Don’t touch anything else.”
Wait.
He wasn’t fired?
Why??
Even Jungkook wondered that.
Taehyung sat in the cafeteria alone, pouting at his sandwich.
Suddenly a tray appeared beside him.
Jungkook stood there.
Employees gasped.
The CEO never ate with anyone.
Kim Taehyung
(shocked)
“J-Jungkook-ssi--I mean Boss??”
Jeon Jungkook
“You didn’t bring a lunch.”
Kim Taehyung
“How did you know?”
Jeon Jungkook
“You spent an hour cleaning my files. I observe everything.”
Taehyung blinked, touched.
Kim Taehyung
“So… you’re not mad anymore?”
Jungkook stared at his food.
Jeon Jungkook
“I am still mad.”
Then Jungkook added quietly
Jeon Jungkook
“But I don’t want you working on an empty stomach.”
Taehyung’s heart did a little flip.
Taehyung took a bite, cheeks puffing like a hamster.
Jungkook caught himself… staring.
Jungkook looked away immediately.
Jeon Jungkook
(thinking)
What the hell am I doing? Stop looking. Stop it.
But his eyes drifted back.
Taehyung’s messy hair.
Taehyung’s bright eyes.
Taehyung wiping crumbs off with his sleeve.
Taehyung smiling at noodles like they were a miracle.
Jungkook’s ears turned slightly red.
Kim Taehyung
“Umm- Boss, are you feeling hot?”
Jeon Jungkook
(quickly)
“No.”
Kim Taehyung
(leaning closer)
“You look a little red—”
Jeon Jungkook
“Eat your food.”
When the day ended, Taehyung returned to Jungkook’s office to say goodbye.
Kim Taehyung
(smiling)
“I survived my first day!”
Kim Taehyung
“I’ll do better tomorrow. I promise.”
Something warm flickered in Jungkook’s eyes again.
Jeon Jungkook
“…Don’t make promises you can’t keep.”
Kim Taehyung
(softly)
“I’ll keep this one.”
Jungkook’s breath caught for a second.
Then Taehyung bowed cutely and left.
Jungkook stood alone in his office, heart beating strangely.
Jeon Jungkook
(to himself)
“Kim Taehyung… who exactly are you?”
Outside, Taehyung walked toward the elevator smiling like sunshine.
Tomorrow was going to be a disaster.
But it was also going to be beautiful.
Taehyung didn’t know it yet…
But he had just cracked open the cold heart of Jeon Jungkook.
