Sunshine | 2Jae

"How did it go?", Youngjae's best friend Mark asked as he picked him up outside the office building.

"I got the job!" Youngjae squealed like an excited child.

Mark engulfed him in a tight hug, whispering things like 'I knew you would' and 'I'm so proud' in Youngjae's ear.

"The CEO seemed a little off while he interviewed me but I'm sure I'll make him like me", Youngjae told Mark.

"Of course you will, how could he not like you?"

They both began walking to the next bus stop, they planned on telling their other friend, Jinyoung and celebrate that Youngjae got a new job.

"Jinyoung! We're home!", Mark screamed as soon as they entered their apartment.

They had decided to move in together after they had graduated. Nine years later all three were still at the same place.

"How was it Youngjae?", Jinyoung yelled back from the kitchen. He was probably preparing lunch since it was 12:36pm.

"I go-"

"HE GOT IT", Mark interrupted him.

"I'm so happy for you!", Jinyoung came running towards them and hugged Youngjae too. The poor guy couldn't breathe and told Jinyoung that.

"Sorry", he smiled sheepishly.

The three friends ate and spent the whole afternoon watching movies. Mark and Jinyoung didn't have work that day either so it was no problem.

"Youngjae? Are you okay?", Jinyoung questioned. His friend had been lying on the sofa for the past hour and didn't hear his friends calling him, he looked deeply in thoughts.

"Huh?"

"I said are you alright?"

"Yeah sure, just thinking", he mumbled.

Mark went over to Youngjae and lifted his legs before he sat down on the sofa and laid his legs back on his lap.

"Penny for your thoughts?"

Youngjae sighed frustrated.
"It's JB"

"Your Boss?"

"Yes, he seems so familiar but I can't remember him and it's annoying me."

"JB? That's a nickname, right?", Jinyoung sat down in front of them on the ground.

"His name is Jaebum."

"It does sound familiar", Mark admitted after a long pause.

"Never mind, I should go to bed now. I don't want to oversleep tomorrow", Youngjae lifted himself up and bid a small good night to his friends.

In his bedroom Youngjae fell asleep immediately, his energy was drained after the interview he had in the morning. He snuggled his pillow a little closer and welcomed the warmth that his blanket provided.

The next morning he woke up before his alarm went off. Deciding that it wasn't worth it to sleep again he stood up and got dressed. Sleepily he took one of his suits and put it on. He was too lazy to tie his tie just yet so he hung it messily around his neck.

With a quick glance towards his mirror he ran his hands through his hair in an attempt to fix it. He nodded when he approved of his appearance.

He went to kitchen and prepared coffee for himself. He sipped on the streaming cup while he scrolled through his social media. Nothing caught his interest besides a few memes that managed to make him laugh.

"I'll get going now!", he yelled when it got time to leave. A small groan was heard from Mark's room and a 'good luck' from Jinyoung.

Throughout the whole bus drive Youngjae couldn't stop fidgeting around. He finally fixed his tie, then redid it over and over again till it was perfect. He switched his phone on typed his password in only to switch it off again repeatedly. He couldn't understand himself why he was so nervous. Maybe it was because he had never worked at such a big company like that. Yeah that was it.

He jumped out at his stop and walked towards the office building with fast steps. He regretted not wearing his coat as the cold wind hit him.

Youngjae opened the big entrance door and stepped in. Sighing as the warm air inside helped unfreeze his cold fingers.

He put on a bright smile and headed to the lift. Just as he was in front of it someone walked into him and sent him falling on the ground. The person that had ran into him was a tall man with brown hair, a little darker than his.

He extended his hand to help Youngjae up but when he saw his face he simply walked away and left him lying on the ground without an apology.

"Rude", Youngjae muttered as he stood up and wiped nonexistent dust off of his suit.

Finally Youngjae was where he would be working in front of JB's office. He knocked on the others door and entered.

"Good morn-"

"You're work is on your desk", his boss told him without looking up.

"Alright", Youngjae forced a smile but kept standing at the doorway.

"Why are you still here?", Jaebum asked irritated.

"I'm sorry", the brown haired whispered and closed the door.

Maybe he was just grumpy today, Youngjae told himself.

A loud groan left his lips as he saw what was supposed to be his work. Piles of loose papers were scattered on top of his desk. It wasn't just on his desk though, the whole floor was covered too. How didn't he notice that when he got here?

He noticed a yellow post it note stuck to one of the papers.

'Sort after date, client and alphabet'

"I better get started", he sighed.
