so it's the day after you had fainted and despite jinyoung telling you to rest you decide to go to work. as you arrive you watch jinyoung from afar chatting with one of his workers and you're totally enchanted by his strong but kind aura. everyone loved him as a boss and due to his attractiveness and kindness there were a lot of workers crushing on him as well. some workers are just too much though, arriving at work in the shortest skirts and tightest or lowest cut shirts you'd ever seen (pt. 1)
you had fallen for him too just like many did but you were the only one not dressing to impress him each and every day and even though he never knew if you liked him or not, he liked that you weren't trying too hard to be noticed by him. when jinyoung took notice of you he tensed, a frown overtaking his features. "you were supposed to rest." he told you after crossing the room to get to you. "i know that there's a bunch of stuff to do.. how can i not go to work?" you asked softly. (pt. 2)
"you fainted yesterday and today you're coming back to work? you're really trying your best to faint again aren't you? i wouldn't be able to handle it again especially if i could've prevented it" jinyoung told you concern and hurt visible in his eyes and voice. "jinyoung, look i'm fine okay?" you tried to convince him but he wasn't buying it. "you can stay but only if you stay by my side all day and then go on a date with me." "Deal." you said as you flashed a soft smile his way (pt. 3)
like that jinyoung spent all day not being able to focus on his work too busy with worrying about you. you needed a coffee? he'd get it or make someone else get it. you tripped? he caught you asking you dozens of questions to make sure you were okay. there were lots of similar moments throughout the day. when you arrived at the date destination you gasped as he led you to a restaurant with a stunning view. at the end of the night he brought you home and somehow ended up sleeping at your place.

ceo - park jinyoung (part two)
it’s another day at the office, and you’re used to what you see everyday you come in — or you should be, but ever since that kiss with jinyoung, all of your coworkers flirting with him just seemed too obvious for your liking.
they always wore the shortest of skirts and tightest of skirts to get his attention, but it never worked. either he was oblivious to all their advances, or he simply didn’t care. you bet it was the latter, though.
from the corner of his eye, jinyoung notices some bandages on someone’s head, but doesn’t pay much attention. he has to do a double take before he realizes it’s you. his eyes meet yours, and you can see he’s a bit panicked at your presence.
he gives a polite smile to the ladies in front of him, nodding his head slightly and making an effort to walk over to you. he reaches where you are, and you realize he’s in a mixture of anger and concern. “what are you doing here? you’re supposed to be getting rest at home.” he whisper-yells to you.
you appreciate his concern with your wellbeing, but you do wish he’d stop hovering. “i’m perfectly fine. i have lots of work to do, how could i just skip?” you ask him softly. “oh, i don’t know, maybe becuase you fainted yesterday?” he snaps, but you can see he’s hurt and concerned for you. “why am i so in lo-“ he takes a deep breath and rephrased his sentence. “you fainted yesterday, and right now it seems like you’re trying hard to faint again. look, i wouldn’t be able to handle it if you fainted again, especially if i can prevent it.” he finished, looking at you sharply.
“mr. park.” he raises an eyebrow at that. “i am fine, okay?” you tell him, which wasn’t the complete truth. your head did hurt a bit, but it was nothing to stop you into coming to work. he simply eyed you suspiciously. the corners of hips lips turn up into a hopeful smile. “fine. but, you have to stay by my side all day, so i can make sure nothing happens to do.” he says. “deal.” you grin.
it was satisfying to watch the faces of everyone who thirsted after jinyoung mold into that of a frown and he gently pulled you through the building and too his office.
jinyoungs office was neat, and just the way you left it yesterday after you cleaned it. he pulls up a chair for you to sit beside him, and sits down himself. “okay, before i start, do you need anything?” he asks, facing you. “no, i’m fine.” you reassure him with a smile.
he gives a small smile back, and begins working. it’s a while before you talk again, sitting in comfortable silence. as it turns out, he wouldn’t get much work done. “here.” he mutters softly as he throws his jacket around your shoulders. “mr. park — jinyoung.” you correct yourself when he raises an eyebrow. “i’m not cold, promise.” you tell him with a small smile. “i’m doing everything in my power to make sure you don’t feel too tired so you won’t faint again. it’s the least i could do.” he says, placing his pen down on his work.
“i have to go get a few things, would you like to come with?” he suggests, standing up from his desk to help you up. “sure.” apparently, he has a lot more errands to run around the office than you thought because you were getting a little tired as you struggled to keep up with him.
you were in the copy room retrieving blank copy paper, when you tripped over a cord. his eyes widened and he immediately moved to catch you and hold you upright, arms wrapped around your shoulders. “are you okay? does your head hurt? are you tired? do you need me to get ice? are your legs fine?” he asks a lot of questions and he pulls away and his hands stay on your upper arms.
“i’m fine, jinyoung! i just tripped on a wire!” you reassured him, laughing as he breathes out a sigh of relief. “it isn’t funny, i was worried!” he says, but you can tell by the smile playing on his lips that he’s holding back the urge to laugh along with you.
it’s late afternoon when the both of you are still in his office goofing off and laughing with eachother. everyone else had left — even those flirty co-workers who worked late to impress him. he’s pouting a bit when you tell him you’re about to leave, looking at you as you stood up, bag in hand, ready to leave. “wait. how would you like to go on a date with me tonight?” he asks before you can close the door behind yourself.
you turn around and face him. you can practically feel the nerves radiating off of him from across his office. “i’d love to, but i need to go change...” you mumbled, looking down at your clothes. “you look perfect.” he breathes, looking you up and down. you’re bashful under his gaze. “but where are we gonna go? we have no reservations for such a sudden time?” you ask, placing your bag down. “i know a place.” he smiles. “then let’s go.”
the ride to the restaurant was very fun. jinyoung played your favorite songs (that your rambled about when you were sitting next to him) and even laughed along with you when you poorly belted out a chorus, and you were just happy you could put a smile on his face.
he clasped you hand with his once you got out of the car, walking at a steady pace to the restaurant. “hi, jinyoung park?” he asks, introducing himself and leading with his name once the both of you were inside the restaurant. the color drains from the waiters face as he paints on a smile and take the both of you to a secluded booth.
“please, take as long as you need. my name is woosik and i’m you’re waiter for the day!” he says before leaving to assist another couple. “jinyoung this place is really fancy, i hope you didn’t spend too much...?’ you mumble softly, looking alejandro the fancy restaurant. “don’t worry, y/n. i only the best for the best.” he says with a small smile.
he doesn’t expect it when you’re moving from your side of the table to come sit with him, giving him a very cheesy smile in the process. “i wanted to be closer to you.” you tell him when he gives you an eyebrow raise. his cheeks heat up at the compliment and you can tell he struggles to keep his composure. “you’re adorable, jinyoung.” you observe, watching as he tries to hide his face.
the rest of the date goes smoothly as well, and the both of you are cracking jokes the whole time and making eachother laugh, telling stories and simply having fun.
after the date is even better, and jinyoung has loosened up a lot since being at the office, being more comfortable to be himself around you, which he was insanely grateful for. he surprised you everytime he did something, and you found out he was actually a huge dork. an adorable dork, that is. the both of you are sitting in the car, no where in particular to go, simply sitting the the packed lot.
“would you like to come over my house?” you ask, and he raises an eyebrow teasingly. “wait- shit- no-, i meant for like its getting late and- not for anything sexual- i’m gonna shut up now.” you mutter, crossing your arms. “yes, i’d love to come over.” he laughs loudly as he watches you pout playfully.
“okay, here are the directions.” you mutter quietly as he gets the car in gear. the car ride back to your house was fun, possibly even more so than the ride to the restaurant. jinyoung was singing out the lyrics with you, but it turns out he’s actually an amazing singer and leaves you shocked when you heard for the first time as you pulled into your driveway.
“wait, wait, wait, why didn’t you tell me you could sing?” you ask, an incredulous smile in your face. “you never asked.” he replied, standing behind you as you unlocked your door. “my roommate is out of town for a while, so we have it to ourselves.” you tell him, throwing your keys on the counter.
“movie?” you suggest as he looks around. “sure.” he shrugs. “i know you’re really uncomfortable, so i have a few things you can change into, just go into my closet and you should find some comfy clothes to wear.” you tell him. “i’ll change in the bathroom and you can change here.”
he does so with no complaint, looking around your room as he did so, admiring your posters and decor. “your room is cool.” he mumbled wondrously when you come out, eyes still searching about. “hey!” he yelps when you pull him back on the bed and press play on the movie.
it was only the beginning of the movie, but you could tell how he wanted to lay with you more, and you didn’t wanna torture him too much so you decided to suggest it. “wanna cuddle while we watch the movie?” you ask, and he looks relieved for a split second, but doesn’t show it. instead he wordlessly leans into your welcoming arms.
“today was fun. i enjoyed it.” you comment, not really watching the movie since you’d seen it so much. “me too.” he yawns. “sorrry, i’m really tired, i’ve been up since 1AM.” he voices, sighing. “it’s okay, you can go to sleep, here.” you mumble, pushing him down a bit so that his head rested on your chest and your arms were draped around him, and you were leaning your head on his. you could feel his cheeks heat up, but you didn’t comment on it.
“goodnight, jinnie.” you murmur softly, kissing his forehead. “night,” he murmurs back, already close to falling asleep. you bite back a chuckle and cuddle more into him, drifting off to sleep yourself.
