The CEO unlikely love
oneshots (Jikook)
The expansive glass walls of the JKC Corporation headquarters gleamed under the city lights, a symbol of both power and prestige. Jungkook, the young CEO of the conglomerate, was renowned for his commanding presence and meticulous approach to business. Yet behind his sharp suits and calculating gaze, lay a man who had long buried his personal life under layers of duty and expectation.
Jimin, a junior employee in the marketing department, had joined JKC only six months ago. Bright-eyed and eager, he approached every task with a bubbly enthusiasm that was hard to ignore. Today, he was tasked with preparing a presentation for a high-stakes meeting that would be attended by none other than Jungkook himself.
As Jimin walked into the conference room, his hands slightly trembling from both nerves and excitement, Jungkookâs piercing gaze met his. The CEO, dressed in a tailored suit, looked every bit the powerful figure everyone spoke of. Yet, when his eyes softened as he observed Jiminâs earnest efforts, something shifted within him.
âMr. Jeon, I hope the presentation meets your expectations,â Jimin said, his voice steady despite his fluttering heart.
Jungkookâs eyes lingered on Jimin for a moment longer than necessary. âIâm sure it will. Please, go ahead.â
As Jimin began the presentation, Jungkook found himself captivated not just by the content but by Jiminâs passionate delivery. There was something refreshing about the way Jimin spokeâhis energy was a stark contrast to the sterile formality usually present in these meetings. By the time Jimin finished, Jungkook was genuinely impressed.
âExcellent work, Jimin,â Jungkook said as he stood up, extending his hand. âYouâve done more than just meet expectations.â
Jiminâs cheeks flushed with a mix of pride and surprise. âThank you, Mr. Jeon.â
In the following weeks, Jungkook found himself frequently crossing paths with Jimin. It started with casual conversations about work, but soon their interactions became more personal. Jungkook discovered that Jimin was not only talented but also kind-hearted and genuinely caring. Jiminâs humor and warmth broke through Jungkookâs carefully constructed barriers, revealing a side of him that he had kept hidden.
One evening, as they worked late in the office, Jungkook approached Jiminâs desk with a hesitant smile. âHow about dinner? Itâs been a long day, and Iâd like to get to know you better.â
Jimin looked up, his eyes wide with surprise. âDinner? With you?â
âYes,â Jungkook chuckled softly. âIf youâre free.â
As they dined at a cozy restaurant, Jungkook found himself more relaxed than he had been in years. They talked about everything from their childhoods to their dreams, and Jungkook realized just how much he enjoyed Jiminâs company. Jiminâs laughter was infectious, and his perspective on life was refreshing.
Over time, their dinners became regular, and what began as a professional acquaintance evolved into a deep friendship. Jungkook admired Jiminâs resilience and ability to see the positive side of every situation. In turn, Jimin admired Jungkookâs dedication and the way he cared about his work, even if he sometimes seemed distant.
Months passed, and Jungkookâs feelings for Jimin grew stronger. He found himself eagerly awaiting their meetings, looking forward to every moment they spent together. The realization that he was falling for Jimin was both thrilling and terrifying. He had never allowed himself to feel so vulnerable, but with Jimin, everything felt different.
One evening, after a particularly long day, Jungkook decided it was time to address his feelings. They were sitting on the rooftop of the building, the city lights stretching out before them.
âJimin,â Jungkook began, his voice uncharacteristically soft. âThereâs something I need to tell you.â
Jimin turned to face him, his expression open and curious. âWhat is it?â
Jungkook took a deep breath. âIâve fallen for you. I canât ignore it anymore. Youâve come to mean so much to me, and I want to be with you, not just as a colleague but as something more.â
Jiminâs eyes widened, and for a moment, he was silent. Then a smile slowly spread across his face, his eyes shining with emotion. âIâve felt the same way for a while now. I was just waiting for you to say something.â
Jungkookâs heart soared. He reached out, taking Jiminâs hand in his. âSo, what do we do now?â
Jimin squeezed his hand gently. âWe take it one step at a time. We work through it together, just like weâve done with everything else.â
Jungkook nodded, feeling a profound sense of relief and joy. As they embraced under the starry sky, Jungkook knew that this was the beginning of something beautifulâa love that defied expectations and brought light into both their lives.
The news of their relationship spread through the company, and while there were some raised eyebrows, most were supportive. Jungkookâs newfound happiness was evident, and it reflected positively in his work and interactions with others. Jimin continued to excel in his role, and their partnership brought a new sense of balance to both their professional and personal lives.
Together, Jungkook and Jimin faced the challenges that came their way with strength and unity. Their love, forged in the crucible of their shared experiences, grew stronger with each passing day. They found solace in one another, a reminder that even in the high-stakes world of business, love could flourish against all odds.
And as they walked hand in hand into their future, they knew that whatever came next, they would face it together, with hearts full of hope and happiness.
