ARROGANT CEO
Part 1
Park Jimin/Assistant
Good morning, Mr. Kim
Jimin greeted his boss Kim Taehyung in a steady voice with a slight Bow.
Taehyung didn't look up or reply to his greetings
Kim Taehyung/CEO
Is the boardroom prepared for the meeting?*❄️*
Park Jimin/Assistant
Yes, Sir. Everything is prepared for the meeting
Taehyung nodded and dismissed him with a wave. Jimin comes out of Taehyung's cabin and releases the breath which he has stopped since he entered inside.
He leaned against the wall trying to calm his heartbeat patting slightly on his chest.
Min Yoongi /Senior Manager
Rough morning already?
Jimin heard a familiar voice teasing him in a low tone as the owner of the voice doesn't want to trigger the bomb sitting inside.
Jimin looked up and saw Yoongi giving a teasing smile to him.
Park Jimin/Assistant
It's the same as every morning. That jerky boss of ours is still in a bad mood.
Jimin said giving a forced smile as he doesn't want to ruin his mood since early morning
Min Yoongi /Senior Manager
Careful with your words Jimin. If he listens to you calling him a jerk again he would make you organize the store room like last time.
Park Jimin/Assistant
Don't even remind me. My back still hurts from the last time because of that cold heartless monster.
Jimin whined holding his back.
Min Yoongi /Senior Manager
If I was you I would never use those words for the CEO because I wouldn't want to risk my life here.
Jimin raised his eyebrows at Yoongi's words.
Min Yoongi /Senior Manager
But here.. you are someone who always speaks things without thinking once.
Park Jimin/Assistant
I do think before speaking *pout*
Min Yoongi /Senior Manager
Yes but only after the words have already left your mouth. *chuckle*
Park Jimin/Assistant
I ......
Before Jimin responds to Yoongi the door of the CEO's cabin creak opens and Kim Taehyung comes out of the cabin.
Jimin and Yoongi immediately stood straight and greeted him with a bow.
Kim Taehyung/CEO
Mr Park*❄️❄️*
Taehyung's cold voice echoed in the hallway
Park Jimin/Assistant
💭*God, why did it sound like a death sentence when he said my name*
Park Jimin/Assistant
Y-yes Sir.
Kim Taehyung/CEO
Do you know that your voice is so loud? I could hear you from inside. *❄️❄️*
Jimin internally facepalms himself.
Park Jimin/Assistant
I.. I apologize --
Kim Taehyung/CEO
Apologies mean nothing if you do not correct your habits.*❄️❄️*
Park Jimin/Assistant
I-i will make sure it won't happen again.😞
Kim Taehyung/CEO
It will happen again because you don't think before you speak. *❄️+ flat voice*
Kim Taehyung/CEO
Keep your mouth shut and be in the boardroom before I reach there. *❄️❄️*
Park Jimin/Assistant
Y-yes Sir... 😧
Taehyung turns and leaves from there correcting his suit.
Min Yoongi /Senior Manager
See? Didn't I always say that your mouth is a death trap for you?
Park Jimin/Assistant
Why does he hate me so much? I always do my work perfectly. 😩😩
Jimin whines leaning on the nearby wall.
Yoongi raised his eyebrows and gave him a look....
A very unimpressed look......
Park Jimin/Assistant
Okay.... not perfect but I do my work.. fine at least...
Jimin corrected himself with a dramatic sigh.
Employee
Mr Park, Boss is heading towards boardroom.
Park Jimin/Assistant
Yeah yeah.. I'll be there...
Jimin says walking towards the boardroom hurriedly waving a bye to Yoongi.
Part 2
The meeting was going well. Taehyung was standing at front explaining about the project. The members were listening attentively and Jimin, he was scrolling the slides according to Taehyung's explanation.
In the middle of meeting Jimin's stupid hand mistakenly slides 3 pages ahead.
Taehyung clenched his jaw.
And...Jimin... He felt his whole life flashed before his eyes and saw his death near.
Park Jimin/Assistant
I'm... I'm so--
Kim Taehyung/CEO
Fix it.*❄️*
Jimin quickly brings back slides to the correct page with his trembling hands. His heart was pounding so loudly inside his ribs that he thought it would come out anytime.
Taehyung resumed speaking as if nothing happened but only Jimin can feel that this is the silence before a storm.
Everyone packed their documents and exited the boardroom. Jimin also packed everything and was about to walk towards the door following others but.
Kim Taehyung/CEO
Mr. Park... Stay....
As everyone left the boardroom Jimin swallowed a lump in his throat. He stood still keeping his eyes on the floor.
Taehyung didn't speak immediately. He keeps looking outside through the huge Glass window keeping his both hands in his pocket.
Kim Taehyung/CEO
Mr Park...*❄️*
Taehyung says still looking out from the window.
Kim Taehyung/CEO
I gave you one task. One very simple task and yet you still managed to mess it up.*❄️❄️*
Park Jimin/Assistant
Sir I...
Kim Taehyung/CEO
Leave the resignation letter on my desk within 2 hrs.
Taehyung walks towards the exit.
Park Jimin/Assistant
Sir... please.. don't do that. I promise it won't happen again.
Kim Taehyung/CEO
I already gave you enough chances. *❄️*
Taehyung snapped at Jimin.
Park Jimin/Assistant
Please Sir.. I will be careful from now on. Give me one last chance. I have worked here for 6 years. 😟😟
Kim Taehyung/CEO
That's the reason I didn't call security to throw you off like I did to others. *❄️❄️❄️*
Park Jimin/Assistant
Please don't fire me sir, I— I really need this job. I can’t lose it.
Jimin says lowering his head.
Kim Taehyung/CEO
Everyone needs something in their life, Mr. Park. What makes you think that your needs are more important than my company’s efficiency?...*🤨❄️*
Park Jimin/Assistant
I… I’ve never missed a deadline. I always stay late to help with your reports. It was just one mistake--
Kim Taehyung/CEO
One mistake is all it takes to ruin a deal worth billions. You think our clients care that it was an accident?.. or just one mistake? *sharp, cold tone*
Park Jimin/Assistant
No, Sir...😞😞
Kim Taehyung/CEO
If I don’t find that letter on my desk in 2 hours, I’ll assume you have no respect for my instructions.
Taehyung walks to the exit and opens the door.
Park Jimin/Assistant
I’ve never asked for anything before. P-please don’t take this job away from me. I’ll lose everything if I lose this job. *broken voice*
Kim Taehyung/CEO
Should I call security?
Park Jimin/Assistant
N-no Sir.. 😞😞
Kim Taehyung/CEO
Good for you. The letter must be there in two hours. *❄️❄️*
Taehyung left the room closing the door with loud thud making Jimin flinch.
Jimin stood frozen keeping his eyes fixed on the door Taehyung had just walked through.
Part 3
Jimin stood frozen keeping his eyes fixed on the door Taehyung had just walked through. He slowly sat in one of the chairs rubbing his face.
Six years. Six years of sleepless nights, late reports, and quiet hopes that maybe ... maybe one day Taehyung would acknowledge his hard work.
And now… it was over because of one mistake.
He stood up and walked out of the room towards his cabin. In the hallway he again meets Yoongi.
Min Yoongi /Senior Manager
Hey. You okay?
Yoongi asked softly when he saw Jimin’s pale face.
Park Jimin/Assistant
Do I look okay? 🥹
Jimin says with a forced smile.
Min Yoongi /Senior Manager
What happened?
Park Jimin/Assistant
He gave me two hours to resign before he fired me.
Park Jimin/Assistant
Jimin let out a humorless laugh.
Min Yoongi /Senior Manager
That bastard…😠
Yoongi cursed while clenching his fists angrily.
Park Jimin/Assistant
It’s my fault anyway.
Jimin interrupted making Yoongi frowned.
Park Jimin/Assistant
I’ve survived six years here thinking if I did everything perfectly, he’d… I don’t know, maybe notice me. Appreciate me. But apparently, one mistake erases everything.
Jimin ran a hand through his hair with teary eyes.
Park Jimin/Assistant
I can’t… I can’t just hand in my resignation. I… I’ll lose everything. My house, my savings… hospital bills.... School fees everything. 🥺🥺
Jimin cries thinking how he will take care of everything if he loses this job.
Yoongi looks at Jimin helplessly. He can do nothing to help him in this case.
Just as Yoongi was about to say something the door opened and a staff member entered inside the room.
Employee
Mr. Park,... The boss has called you in his cabin.
She informed him with a small smile not knowing what was happening there.
Jimin panicked as soon as he heard about the call from their boss.
Park Jimin/Assistant
O-okay I will go. Thanks for informing me.
The staff nodded and left from there.
Min Yoongi /Senior Manager
Don't panic, Jimin.... Calm down....
Yoongi rubbed his back to calm him down.
Park Jimin/Assistant
I.. I'm.. okay... I'll be back soon...
Jimin stood up and hurried towards Taehyung's cabin hundreds of thoughts.
Jimin reached the door to the CEO'S cabin in less than 2 minutes. He swallowed hard before knocking on the door lightly.
Taehyung’s cold voice echoed through the cabin.
Jimin gently pushed the door open with his trembling hands and stepped inside slowly.
Kim Taehyung/CEO
Sit. *❄️❄️*
Taehyung ordered Jimin in a cold tone, still standing by the window keeping his arms crossed.
Jimin obeyed silently as he sat on the chair across from the desk carefully not to make any sound...
But he is Jimin... Can he sit in a chair without chaos?..
So, as per his life long ritual...
He stumbled on the chair with a loud noise.
Jimin immediately stood frozen beside the chair the moment it screeched loudly in the vast cabin.
Taehyung slowly turns around and looks at Jimin as if he is ready to kill him right now.
Jimin’s soul nearly left his body as he knew how much his Boss hates loud noises.
Park Jimin/Assistant
I— I’m sorry, Sir...
Taehyung didn’t respond but walked back to his desk and leaned against it right in front of Jimin while folding his hands on his chest.
