You and Suga went to the lunchroom where everyone meets before 8 am to get their job descriptions for the week. As the team leader, you have to make sure everyone understands and executes their responsibilities dutifully.

It is a tiring job, and you already got a headache after the scolding from Ms. Hwan, and you don't want to be in her bad books again, but you know she will agitate you and find anything wrong with whatever you do. So, you needed to work extra hard. You already learned that Su-Li had been demoted from office duties to cafeteria duty.  What the poor girl did again is beyond your understanding.

Each of the twelve janitorial staff workers was dressed in overalls and carrying their cleaning supplies...

You bowed and welcomed everyone with a friendly voice, but most of their gazes were drawn to the attractive new employee. Suga simply rolled his eyes as some of the cleaning girls began to giggle. What a bunch of knuckleheads they are. He recognized the woman who had earlier run out of the office crying. He simply shook his head and directed his focus to You, who was doing roll call.

"What happened to Po-Seok?" you inquired as you surveyed the group.

" He was reassigned to a different part of the building." They openly expressed their admiration for the newcomer.

"Ok...staff. Let me introduce you to Gwan Suga, our newest and most eagerly anticipated team member. Please be kind to him." Everyone greeted him cheerfully. Yoongi gave a small bow and a smirk. The girls can't seem to stop secretly googling him. Oh, Gawd! Please, Yoongi mused exasperatedly.

"Yeah, Po-Seok, he is supposed to go to Mr. Joo's office. Ms. Hwan ordered him to clear the office of all waste. Mr. Joo entertained two clients last night.", One of the girls towards the back of the room remarks.

The brows of Yoongi furrow. But he ignored it, deciding to inquire about late-night gatherings later.

"OK, Jihyo, you'll be in charge of the executive-level restrooms. Your work ethic has improved, according to Ms. Hwan, and you have been promoted." You couldn't help but snort at her scrunched-up nose. 

"Promoted! What a shame! Cleaning the execs' filthy toilets. There wasn't even a won bonus. "She murmurs sarcastically.

As several of the guys chuckled, Yoongi wanted to snicker. Jihyo appears to be a pretty amusing individual. She is in her forties.

"Jihyo see it this way: you have access to the elevator. All of the youngsters are confined to a single flight of stairs. Su-Li, it's all right. You are in charge of cleaning the cafeteria this week. The utility room has all of the extra cleaning supplies. Just ask Po-Seok if you need to restock your carts...oh, and Suga, you'll be observing what needs to be done and how the Min Ent. system works for the first several hours. Please do not hesitate to inquire. We're all here to help each other out. The janitorial staff functions as a family." You smiled and told Suga, "We laugh and cry together." He looked at you carefully. You have a mature perspective on things for a young lady.

"Sugwon and Lu, You have window washing duty today...oh, for the love of Gawd, don't let Mr. Joo see you being slothful at your jobs again. Sugwon, keep in mind that you have two ticks against your name, and Ms. Hwan will not hesitate to terminate you." You issue a warning to the two younger ones.

"She's a real witch. This environment may be pleasant, but her presence makes me feel like working in a chicken coop. I'm worried sick about stepping on eggs. Jeez! Mr. Min can now take over. Or at the very least, bring his employees here." Sugwon is ranting and raving. You merely sigh; dealing with disgruntled employees can be challenging at times.

"Why don't you send a complaint letter? You understand that it is your right to be treated with respect." Yoongi spoke up. Everyone is taken aback by his presence. What a rich, soothing voice. Suga had a solemn expression on his face.

With a shake of your head, you said, "The last person to complain about cafeteria food and a pay hike was dismissed on the spot. If you want to keep your current position, and you don't say anything." 

Lu responded with a faraway tone. "I would have been out of the door in a second if I didn't have so much hospital debt." Lu is repaying her mother's medical aid bill following a minor operation.

You just look at Suga when he frowns. "We're all in need of a job... Ms. Jihyo is a widow with three children, one of them is a student at Konkuk University. She is in desperate need of work. Ms. Hwan is too evil for us to irritate... I've already reached halfway out the door."

"What are you quitting?" Yoongi inquires, puzzled.

Lu frowns, "She doesn't want to leave Suga, but Ms. Hwan and the executive females are making it difficult for her to work. Jealousy, pure and simple... Yeon- ra. was in line for a high-ranking position, and -"

"OK, that's enough about my personal experience with the company. Let's get our act together and work together as a group. When you're in the danger zone, call each other!" You immediately turned around and looked at Suga, who was attempting to follow you.

Yoongi looked at your sad face. Even when you try to grin, it doesn't reach the spark in your eyes. He's not sure what that was. Have you applied for a high-ranking position but been snubbed?

After getting their tasks, the entire crew went their separate ways. To get your cleaning cart, you bring Suga to the utility room.

"You were quite a fiery squad leader out there," Yoongi says with a smile.

"If you have Ms Hwan on your case 24/7...you better be completing your tasks far above and beyond your job description," you chuckle.

She pushed the cart out through the open door. Yoongi observed her thoroughly inspecting everything from the wheels to the inside.

"OK, ready for action," she says with a small smile. "Just keep an eye on things, OK? Hopefully, we'll be able to leave today with our heads on our shoulders."

"Why does this place sound like a combat zone?" smirks Yoongi

"Everyone wants to work with this company since the owner of Min Entertainment took it over a while ago," you exclaimed. 'For investors, the executives want to put their best foot forward. Since being re-signed with Agust D' Labels, our struggling artist has received additional marketing and visibility. We have some fantastic artists this year, but they haven't been handled appropriately. Have you heard of the band Infinite?"

They enthralled Yoongi after reading about them in a file. He nodded.

You chuckled, "They quit the company a year ago, and we faced a huge loss were on the verge of going bankrupt, and we would have been on the streets by now if it hadn't been for Min Ent.  Infinite signed a contract with Myndor Labels before he took over this struggling company, and they never renewed their contract with us. They are one of Busan's biggest entertainment companies. Closet Entertainment lost good singers who wanted to stay but couldn't be promoted by the company, notably in the worldwide music arena."

Yoongi helped her carry the cart into the elevator. A few members of the staff met them on their way.

"That's a shame, but don't worry, the business will thrive and get out of the red in no time." He gave her some insider information without her knowing. They ascended to the second floor through the elevator. Although this structure only has three levels, it is pretty significant. His firm has already begun renovations on the top floor.

"If it's out of the red, hopefully, I'll be fired by choice," you grin. She selects the desired floor by pressing the button. Her mouth opens with a deep sigh. Yoongi has been impressed by her inner strength since he has been in her presence. 

He can't help but notice her. Despite her oversized glasses, she is still a stunning young lady. Stop that, Yoongi. He chastises himself. When did he start finding working girls attractive? His preferences are far more refined than hers. Not that she's in any way lacking. He, on the other hand, prefers girls who have ambition and a sense of purpose. Instead of spending their time on mundane jobs, they should go out and conquer. Encourage them to be proactive in their pursuit of achievement even if they had a silver spoon in their mouth from birth. He founded his company without the backing of his parents.

"Why are you gazing at me like that...is there something on my face, Suga?" she asks, a slight blush appearing on her pale cheeks. She says with a playful tone in her voice.

"I was just wondering why you chose a janitorial job out of all the jobs," Yoongi said with a smile and a shake of his head.

You had a sad expression on your face. "There was no other option. I desperately wanted to work in the music industry, but life intervened, and I had to rise to the occasion and work my way out of the swamp that was my life."

Yoongi's gaze was emotionless and calculated. Something happened to Yeon- ra., and she decided to quit life. She has a lot of potential. In any case, how old is she?

You get to your floor and exit. Yeon- ra. was busy throwing out all the soju bottles, leftover kimchi and ramen noodles, and other veggie dishes inside a very posh office. The executives are renowned for wasting business funds. On Fridays, catered meals are provided for the executives, and there is nothing wrong with the meals in the cafeteria.

You give Suga a garbage bag to put in all of the recycling containers. Po-Seok frequently goes out and sells recycled goods. His wife is a stay-at-home mom and the primary collector for her home recycling business. Ms. Hwan had warned him repeatedly that if she found out he had a side job, he would be dismissed immediately. As a result, he agreed to his wife's proposal to run the business.

You were dusting and sanitizing the entire area with a floral-scented air freshener while Suga was dusting and shining the tables. Because it was his first time doing cleaning duties, you had to show him how to do it. 

Yoongi enjoyed being in the company of productive individuals. Since this morning, his spy camera has been recording everything. You and he had a small chat about music. He has a wide range of musical knowledge, and that is something you two have in common.

Yoongi opens the windows to let in some fresh air, and the entire office is spotless and ready for his boss to get down to business. You signed sincerely, and your face turned expressionless when you heard voices outside the door. Yoongi was perplexed as to what had caused the abrupt change in attitude.

"This is it." You pushed the trolley as quickly as you could towards the door. Mr. Joo Song-Wook, the man who crushed your heart a few months ago, pushed open the door unexpectedly. When he first walked in, his eyes began to flicker at you as if he was feeling something. The underlying tension between Yeon- ra. and Mr. Joo causes Yoongi to scrunch his brows.

"Mr. Joo, I'd like to wish you a pleasant day. We've completed our work in your workplace and are on our way out the door. Come on, Suga, we still have more places to clean." You glance at him, gesturing for him to follow you. Song-Wook smiled a little.

"Ah, Yeon- ra....always a pleasure to see you. My office is lovely and smells amazing... "Thank you, sweety,". He sniffs the air, expressing his delight at being in such a pleasant environment. "Well, please don't leave food unattended," you wince and snort a little. "It's wasteful because it breeds rodents and other pests...but hey." You sarcastically smile," - you can do whatever you want...you still have your slaves to lead from the thrones you built yourselves!"

Yoongi, who was waiting by the door, was taken aback by your snide comments directed at your boss. You appear to despise him a great deal. What exactly is going on here? Employers are not respected by their employees.

Soo-Wook simply smiled and turned to face Yoongi. "The new employee, ahh. I hope you enjoy your time with us...just remember to keep your mouth shut, so you don't end up like someone we all know and love...to fire 24 /7. If it weren't for a blundering contract," He has narrowed eyes and pursed lips as he looks at you. He is not a fan of how you humiliated him in front of another employee. You despise this man so much. But, hey, if life hands you lemons, create lemon tart.

You just gave him a little stink eye and walked out of his office, trailed by a stunned Yoongi.

You immediately entered the elevator, avoiding Suga's furrowed brows and inquiring eyes, as you pulled your lips together tightly. You honestly can not tell this new guy about your past, and you haven't become friends.

"And what was that Yeon- ra., that attitude you just showed your superior?" He seems disturbed and ashamed by your actions.

You apologize to Suga and sigh a little with shame. "I'm sorry you had to witness our hatred...we despise each other...but it won't happen again. Suga, I'm sorry you've had to witness such behavior, and I suppose it's just that he pulls out the worst in me."

"I understand, but in...my company...my former company... you...you can't talk to your boss like that, you would've been fired on the spot. Do you want to advance in your career, or are you eager to spend the rest of your life as a cleaning lady?" Suga said in a stern tone. His apparent disdain for your emotions causes your eyes to widen. You scoff.

You wave your hands around with a slight flash in your eyes.

"Oh, and if you work for these dragons for more than a day, we may speak again...don't be too ready to pass judgment. Suga!"

"OK...but you can't just spit out anything that comes to mind Yeon- ra....don't you need the job?"He looks sternly.

You glance at him with moist eyes and stammer out in a quiet voice, "Y...you don't understand, Suga."

"What is there to understand, Yeon- ra....your obvious disrespect for your boss was appalling? You must offer an apology. If you decide to leave, it will appear on your employment record, and you will never receive a favorable reference..." he rants on, clearly angry.

You glance at Suga. He had such a commanding voice as it changed into a different appearance, and he was even sexier than before. "You'll never understand Suga...so forget it," you mumble quietly as you close off and enter the hallway with pursed lips.

Yoongi's face was filled with an undefined emotion as he stared at you. He gets taken aback when he sees a different side of you. You're not the adorable girl he painted you as. Behind that charming beauty, though, resided a fierceness and a sharp tongue. She was a savage in a low-key way.

You sigh deeply as you glance along the corridor, now really Po-Seok. He was meant to begin in this hallway, and Ms. Hwan will flip. Today isn't your day; you noticed her coming around the corner and stood in disdain, staring at the floor.

"Oh great," you groan, "I'm going to be the scapegoat once more!"

Ms. Hwan's narrow -eyes caught Yoongi's attention. "O-oh," he murmured, "this woman is truly on the warpath today, and no one is immune."

"Honestly, this place is disgusting! I was expecting more of you than anyone else!"Your head supervisor yells. Looking at you with sheer disgust.

"I-" this is too much today to handle. You feel your walls breaking bit by bit.

"Are you willing for me to mention how incompetent you are to Mr. Min?" She says. Your head shakes as you look down at the treacherous tears dripping from your cheeks.

She looked at one of the new janitors who stood watching in awe.

"And you, don't you have a job?" His dark eyes widen at the sudden attention. He couldn't respond soon enough as she turned around and waved a manicured finger to you.

"Return to your duties!" Before anyone could respond, she walked off muttering. "Incompetent morons..."

You quickly wipe your eyes and your glasses.

" Yeon- ra. I apologize for adding to your burden by being so harsh with you...please allow me to mop the floors fast. It isn't so filthy; there are simply a few coffee stains and some food stains." Suga pushed the cart to the side and began mopping the corridor without waiting for you to object. As he frantically mopped the floors, all you could do was marvel at his restored energy. It appeared to be even better than when So-Peok was doing it.

"Thank you, Suga" you walk to him and help him to pack away all the cleaning aids. After cleaning two more offices, you retreat to the locker room to freshen up to go and sit in the cafeteria. When you and Suga enter Po-Seok and Lu, Sugwon, Su-Li, and Jihyo are already there.

You opened your locker and took the food bag that your mother had prepared for you...

"Today, Eomma packed a lot of meals for us. So, no cafeteria food for everyone today, OK?"You make a wave with your forefinger in front of your ecstatic teammates.

"Ohh lovely, did your mother provide pastries?"Po-Seok appears to be eager to try your mother's cooking.

"Yes, she went above and beyond. You, Suga, are a part of the team. There will be no buffet today, and if I bring back food, my Eomma will murder me. As a result, you'd better eat up. It's a lot of food." You informed them.

You all find your way to the cafeteria, laughing and bickering. Yoongi only chuckles at the friendly team, and they work together to boost the company.

The ladies assist you in rearranging the food on the table. You provided everyone with chopsticks and serviettes, and Po-Seok and Sugwon, even Su-Li, are all smitten with Suga, and she was constantly checking him out. 

You all enjoy your mother's tasty food once you have done grace. The atmosphere was relaxing and comforting. 

Yoongi's eyes lit up at the delicious taste of the pastries, and he praised your mother's efforts.

The show's producers had just entered the café. They were doing interviews with some of the most attractive employees. They chatted to two of the young office ladies who gave you a hard time not long ago. You shook your head. Suga nods subtly to the producers who wave to your group.

Jihyo laughs, "Only if you're well-dressed...we're not going to be interviewed." Ms. Hwan stated, "We will simply embarrass the company, and Mr. Min will be unimpressed.

"You are a part of the corporation, and you play an essential role in the company," Suga said, furrowing his brows.

"Inform management of this. You're still new, Suga, and you'll learn the hard way. Only the very top is noticed, and our job is to remain unnoticed at all times."Lu exhales a snort.

You simply nod. You're not going to say anything. You were under mental tension today. Yoongi stared at your subdued demeanor and felt a pang of sorrow for the severe reprimand he gave you. She has every right to speak up. 

Sugwon smiled broadly after wiping his mouth, "I'm going to buy us some drinks." Do you want to come with me, Suga...just to help with the carrying? What would you like to drink?

"I'll pay for the beverages today," Suga said as he rose and took out his wallet."Wow, thank you very much, son; that is very generous of you."Po-Seok was overjoyed. Suga smiled, and everyone was delighted to put in their favored drinks orders.

Yoongi took a deep breath. Sugwon greeted the office staff with a bow and a broad smile. They both appear to be entirely professional. He suddenly wonders how Yoenra will look in business wear and make-up. He instantly ignored that thought. He can't explain why he's thinking about her so much. He chose to buy her a box of chocolate pies. He hopes she and her mother liked it.

Back at the table, the ladies had already begun to assist Y/n in cleaning up. She had a melancholy expression on her face as she gazed at the table where the executive or office workers sat and ate. They have a card to order lunch, which is one of the benefits of that level. They sat in a specific section, and the majority of the lowest tier wished to eat there.

Jihyo rose to her feet. "So, guys, it's time for me to report back to work. Have a safe travel back home if I don't see you by home time."

Sugwon grinned as he followed suit. "Allow me to accompany you on your walk, Jihyo-noona...I need to assist Mr. Joo with the boxes at his office."

Su-Li laughed out loudly as she re-tied her hair in a bun. "Allow me to go and clean the royal tables. The production team is still interviewing office personnel."

As you pack all the containers into the bag, you wipe your eyes," I'm exhausted. I need to have more sleep this weekend, but with my Eomma, I'll be standing and baking cakes and pastries the whole day. She will expect me to deliver every order until after 6 pm-10 pm."

"Don't you have male drivers... it's dangerous for a lady to be out very late at night?"He appeared concerned. She had difficult work, and her weekends were devoted to working even harder.

You simply laugh softly, "It's only my mom and me, we can't afford a delivery person... now and then, Dae, will help out."

Po-Seok makes a sly grin. "Give Dae clearance to date you Y/n.He truly adores you."

"Dae?" said Suga, raising his brows.

"Oh, the friendly security guard at the door? He is crazy about her, and she simply does not want to barge."Su-Li stated this with a teasing glint in her eyes.

You just wrinkled your nose."Thank you very much...but no thanks. Dae is a wonderful young man, but love is not for me."

Suga was perplexed by your melancholy. Y/n is stunning. What is the source of her reluctance to love? He's not much better, and he despises dating. His mother had previously planned a date for him with a childhood friend, Suzy, who had recently returned from a modeling assignment in Italy.

Suzy is a very spoilt brat. She is the sole heir to her father's fortune. She has had her heart set on him as a future husband for many years. Her mother and his Eomma were constantly plotting to get them together as a couple. He had taken her out to dinner a few times before, but she was suspicious of every woman in his life. Selena is also a threat. She was continually accusing him of having an affair with Selena.

Back at the locker room, Yoongi handed over the box of choco pies," For you and your mom. Thank her for me."

She looks surprised and smiles happily as she put it in the bag." Thank you Suga, choc pies are her favorite."

...........

Yoongi's time was moving at a snail's pace. Jihyo and Po-Seok were interviewed by the production crew, who frankly revealed everything to the startled crew.

Yoongi is eager to get home. He only needs two more days to finish this, and he can't deny the beautiful people he met today.

By 2 pm, most of the workers had finished their work and were on their way home. Only the janitorial crew was present at the office, and they were cleaning up some of the first-floor office space, dusting, and dumping the garbage.

By 4 pm, the entire team had gone to the locker rooms to change. The women were given their section of restrooms with showers. However, Y/n would avoid utilizing any for fear of her clothing abruptly disappearing.

Po-Seok, Sugwon, Su-Li, and  Lu strolled out together because they live nearby, and Sugwon's friend picks them up from work every day. It is far more convenient for them than taking public transportation.

As she brushed her hair and put on her jacket, Yeon- ra sign. Suga looked refreshed. She gave him a sweet smile as he stared at her with calculating eyes.

"Are you going with the rest of them? Where has Jihyo gone?" He took a glance around the locker room.?

You look up from where you're sitting, tying your laces, and say, "Oh...she was the first one out."

Suga noticed as she rose and admired her gorgeous hair once more. He immediately felt encouraged to put his fingers through, and he promptly reprimanded himself. What kind of foolishness is he thinking? He barely met her today, yet he already has affection for her. He simply shook his head.

"And you?" she asks.

"Oh, I still have to report to Ms. Hwan, our supervisor/manager.I'm not sure why she wants to see me". He appeared to be tense.

"Oh, have a wonderful journey to the forbidden forest. Don't let her intimidate you." Yeon- ra. snorts at her hypocrisy; she is the one who is incapable of standing up for herself. 

Ms. Hwan is terrified, and she snatched her backpack and the bag containing the lunch containers. Fortunately, some of the containers could be repurposed.

Yoongi smiles, "Yeah...I'll keep that in mind." He isn't going to Ms. Hwan; the production crew wants his comments and a small segment of his first impressions of the employees and company dynamics.

Yeon- ra. smiled, "Well, Suga, have a nice day ahead of you, and it was a joy meeting and working with you." She waved at him, but her phone rang just as she was about to leave the locker room.

She groans audibly as she looks at the number. Yoongi went to his locker to retrieve his stuff, but Yeon- ra. looked disheartened as she walked out, still on the phone.

"Song-wook, could you kindly give me a flipping break? You made your choice, now live with it...bye!!" She suddenly shut her phone and stuffed it under her jacket, exiting the locker room. She appears to have forgotten that he was still within hearing distance.

Yoongi's brow furrows. What would that be? Song-Wook and Y/n involve?  No wonder the open animosity between the two, but isn't Song-Wook one of the execs, and he assumed that he's engaged or married? He went through the entire company's organogram.

There appear to be a lot of hidden dramas going on at his company...
