boss!mark x secretary!reader
you had a crush on your boss.
it was super silly but could you resist it when he looked like that every morning
you would probably sell your soul to see him in his velvet blue suit with slicked back hair every day
it was just a crush, a workplace one too, which everyone had at your age
correction, you didn’t work there, you were an intern at 18 years old
in the biggest firm in the city
you can still remember how much your hands shook when you passed the interview
your first instinct was to tell your mum and you guys partied like there was no tomorrow
you did not expect to be the secretary of a 21 year old hot asian man but were you complaining? nah.
his name was lee minhyung, but he preferred to be called mark
practically every woman in the company was head over h e e l s for him, but he was indifferent
he was used to the attention by now
you definitely didn’t have a chance with him but you didn’t let that bother you
watching him from afar rush to his office, you panicked
stumbling towards his office, you knocked a few times before falling in
shocked would be an understatement
there was a disheveled mark face-first melting into his desk
cheeks red, he looked up and rolled his eyes
adjusting your blouse, you nodded
“yeah, something came up, can you get me a coffee?”
walking down the street, you thought to yourself, what on earth happened to him at 8 am in the morning?
a few weeks later, you were attempting to clear out mark’s schedule when you stumbled upon the most bizarre thing ever
he had put “NATIVITY <3” on the date which was meant to have the biggest shareholder meet
confused, you questioned whether he had younger siblings
but you didn’t want to bother him so you just stuck the shareholder meet underneath the memo of the nativity
“y/n, you didn’t tell me the shareholder meet was on the 18th!”
of course you should have told him.
now, you had a flustered and rather cute doe-eyed mark staring up at you in dismay
“i realised you had a nativity that day but i didn’t want to bother you?”
“you need to tell me these things, they’re so important, fuck,”
that was the first time you had ever heard him swear
mark lee, the angel, the good christian boy, swore.
stifling a laugh, you apologised and left his office
the last thing you expected was for you to roll into work the next morning, strapped with his coffee in one hand and woah- there was a baby
honestly, you should have noticed the signs earlier
“how many times have i told you to knock?” he whisper-shouted, not wanting to scare the toddler running around his clean office
you giggled and mumbled a ‘sorry’ before asking
“apppppaaa, can i eat this?”
“no hyuck, you can’t eat my pens, come back here baby,”
it was amusing to say the least to watch dad mark, you figured, run around his office like a headless chicken
his son, hyuck?, was beautiful
hyuck has a soft heart-shaped face with pink pouty lips and chubby cheeks
his hair was similar to his fathers when it wasn’t straightened, a brown wavy mop on his head
fuck, you were soft for his sparkly eyes, he was adorable
“uh, yeah, my ex’s actually but she left him with me- hyuck don’t bite my table!”
mark was practically panting by the time he picked up the little guy from his bear hoodie and sat him on one thigh
“i’m never going to get work done now,”
mark had the audacity to p o u t
feeling helpless, you offered to keep hyuck busy throughout the day
you claimed to be good with kids, a big fat white lie, and wanted to help mark out
immediately, his eyes lit up and he asked a small “really?” as if you had just offered to explain the meaning of life
you fixed your skirt before nodding and waving at the baby on mark’s leg who was now facing you
hyuck smiled, displaying his tiny teeth, and attempted to run off his father’s lap
“appa, is this the pretty girl you always talk about to uncle jeno?”
hyuck’s question was innocent, chubby finger pointing at you
mark went red before mumbling a little ‘shut it hyuck,’
“don’t mind donghyuck, he makes things up, the mind of a three-year-old is very creative, trust me,” mark flailed his hands, letting donghyuck waddle towards you
“appa, she is your sectary right? the one you want to take-“
“lee donghyuck! if you don’t stop talking right now, i will confiscate your power ranger figurines for a week!”
mark glared at the little boy sternly and all you could do is laugh at how donghyuck couldn’t pronounce the word secretary
you promised mark that everything was alright and you left to take hyuck on a little tour
he enjoyed the fish tanks the most, little head peering up and intently staring at the fishes
he decided to name one charizard as it was red
you nodded in response, steering him away from the fish in hopes of finding him some lunch
after hyuck practically begged you, you settled for buying a few timbits
mark would probably be appalled but he didn’t have to know
hyuckie ended up getting chocolate all over his mouth and you had to take him to the bathroom to clean up
after a rather grulling day of managing the toddler, you returned to mark’s office
it was only 4 pm and you knew mark wouldn’t get off this early but taking care of a toddler was draining
you found mark with his head against a pile of books on his messy desk
the poor boy was asleep, mouth agape and hair sticking out everywhere
you patted him gently in hope of waking him up and he shot up faster than lightning
the joy in his eyes the moment he saw donghyuck made you fall for him just a little bit more
hyuckie rushed up to his father as fast as his little legs could carry him and mark picked him up and span him around
mark covered hyuck with kisses and you were s l i g h t y jealous at the sight
you stood back, feeling slightly out of place before mark thanked you
he ran his hand through his messy hair and sighed
you couldn’t help but inquire about what hyuck was babbling about earlier
“it was- it was nothing,”
mark looked so shy it hurt
“appa wants to take you on a date!”
you laughed, looking at mark expectedly but he was too busy darting his eyes around the room
“i like you too, you know,”
he looked at you like you were an alien, mouth parted and eyes wider than ever before
“mark, you’re the cutest person i’ve ever met, i would be crazy to pass up on the opportunity,”
there was a silence between you
“does this mean you’re my mum now-“
maybe things would work out for you ♡
