"Y/N?"
You heard a voice in the distance and felt a light tap on your shoulder.
"Y/N!"
The light tap turned into a hand shaking you by your shoulder until you finally woke up and lifted your head.
Oh no.
You sat up straight in your chair and looked for the source of the voice. Next to you, still holding your shoulder, stood your boss. Lee Jeno.
His dark hair was styled neatly, revealing his undercut and he wore his usual black suit and black tie.
"Sir", you shouted a little too loud, quickly fixing your hair and clothes as you stood up.
"Woah, easy", Mr. Lee chuckled, finally taking his hand off your shoulder and leaving a tingly feeling behind.
You were working overtime at the office once again when you must have fallen asleep. Embarrassed, you pressed your lips together and looked down to the floor.
"I'm sorry, Sir", you apologized.
"For what, sleeping?" A warm laughter filled the empty office space. "It's quiet late so I understand."
"Still, it's unprofessional." You felt guilty and quiet embarrassed about your boss finding you asleep at your desk.
"Honestly", he started, "you're the most professional among all of us."
You looked up in surprise. Did Lee Jeno just compliment you?
His gaze softened even more when your eyes met. "It's true. I can't think of anyone more hardworking. I give you all these difficult tasks and ask you to do the most ridiculous things, like getting me ramen from the convenience store or picking up my dry cleaning."
You chuckled unconsciously, being reminded of the time you ran around the city like a crazy person trying to complete all the tasks in time.
Jeno shrugged, "and it's not even your job, you know. On top of that I have never seen you complain even just one second. I mean, it's Friday evening and you waited for me to leave first."
You nodded slowly, finding yourself enjoy all these kind words from your usually very cold and intimidating boss.
Mr. Lee tilted his head to the side, "even now, you don't complain or yell at me for keeping your here. I think that's pretty admirable."
"Really", you almost whispered.
"Really", Mr. Lee whispered back the same way.
"Thank you." You couldn't help but smile at him.
Jeno scratched the back of his head. "No, thank you! Actually, maybe as a thank you I could take you out to dinner some time?"
You raised your eyebrows at him, "dinner? That would be cool, yeah, I mean great."
Jeno chuckled, "for now though, we should just go home. Please", he gestured towards the exit, "go ahead and enjoy your weekend. You deserve it!"
"Of course", you nodded, "that sounds great too."
"Cool", Mr. Lee copied you.
You grabbed your jacket and bag, turning back to Mr. Lee one last time before leaving.
"Then I'll see you on Monday."
"Yes", Jeno smiled, "see you then, Y/N."
You chuckled, feeling shy and nervous and all kinds of things. "Bye." You awkwardly waved at Jeno, before heading towards the elevators and disappearing around a corner.
Jeno stayed behind, staring off down the now completely empty office. His eyes slowly wandered back to your desk, where you were sleeping soundly just a couple minutes ago.
He felt a little bad that you were so exhausted. If only you knew that he did all this to keep you by his side.
Jeno shrugged, a smile spreading on his lips when he remembered that he finally got the chance to ask you on a date.
"Cool", he repeated to himself. "Very cool."
