Subject: I think God is real???

To whom it may concern (which yeah, turns out to be you, Namjoon. I’m not telling shit to Seokjin hyung or Hoseok because Seokjin’s a wet blanket and we both know Hoseok can’t keep a secret after the whole fiasco of your surprise birthday party),

I know that yesterday we just had a very long and interesting conversation with Jungkook and Taehyung regarding this topic, but holy shit, Joon, listen to this: I’m actually considering God might be real.

And yeah, before you start sending me the same articles that you sent to Jungkook and Taehyung (which, by the way, I don’t even think they’re considering opening. I told you a video was a better idea), allow me to explain myself.

I just saw the most stunning human being on this Earth when I went to Seokjin’s office today to talk about the problem with my last paycheck that I told you the other day. And I dropped my coffee in front of them because I was far too impressed for my own sake at 7 AM. They offered me a napkin that they claimed to always have on their pocket for situations like these, and that I could use it to clean my shirt without a problem because apparently, I had not only dropped my coffee but also managed to get some stains in my shirt (and what the fuck?? I barely felt it and you know how I like my coffee hot, so that’s another point to take into consideration regarding a force out of this world involved in the issue).

I don’t know you, but this seems enough proof for me that God may be real since I swear that person was like a living angel. Halo and everything because they were also blond and you know, halos are golden, and blond is the equivalent of the normal version of golden in hair. Not the wings, though. Pretty much sure there weren’t any wings there. You know Seokjin hates birds, so I doubt he’d allow something with wings inside his office even if that person was the embodiment of beauty and kindness and perfection.

And yeah, before you ask, I’m bored as hell because I’m still waiting for Jungkook and Taehyung to give me their damn purchase reports, but they keep making up excuses involving those damn articles that you sent to them. According to them, “they’re researching”. Fuck those kids. I’m pretty sure they were watching Haikyuu. Just because Taehyung isn’t an intern anymore, he thinks he can do whatever he wants and guide our other intern to the same path of evil.

Regards, Min Yoongi. Staff Accountant.

Dear Yoongi,

That must be Jimin, the new assistant from the Human Resources department. Seokjin mentioned something about having someone new there in our last meeting (which I thought you were actually paying attention since you’re part of the Accounting Department and, if I remember correctly, you were one of the persons in charge of adapting the budget for next year to make some adjustments to the salaries of some employees).

P.S.: I’m pretty much sure Jimin-ssi is human. Like, 100% sure. I won’t even dwell on it.

P.S. 2: I don’t think Jungkook and Taehyung are watching Haikyuu. As far as I know, they finished it last month.

P.S. 3: Are you really using the business email for this?

Sincerely, Kim Namjoon. Assistant Manager.

To whom it may concern (which again, it’s you),

I just confirmed it: Jimin is Seokjin’s new assistant. Hoseok introduced me to him today when he was showing him the office around. Jimin looked at me (and I almost FAINT, what’s wrong with me) and told me he was happy to see me without coffee on my shirt this time. But then he apologized for the comment and ensured me he was joking, and I told him it was fine and that he didn’t need to worry about anything, but he kept clarifying that he was just joking and that he shouldn’t have done it, so I accepted his apology and then he asked Hoseok if he could go back to the HR office even if they hadn’t finished the tour.

I didn’t get the whole thing, but Hoseok said it maybe had something to do with the fact that I apparently stared at Jimin in this deep, tragic and weird silence after he said ‘hi’ to me and while he talked to me, and that he probably thought I was annoyed at him when I was actually like super, super, super distracted because Jimin is so handsome and he has such a pretty smile. I swear I could still see the halo over his head and that was even more distracting for me.

And well, that was it. Also, God isn’t real. I guess I’m just in love with Jimin and that’s why I got so confused over that. It’s the only explanation.

Jungkook and Taehyung gave me their reports early today, by the way. It’s boring now not having to metaphorically and literally chase them for them to finish them. Sometimes I hate this office life.

P.S.: More like 5% human, 95% a heavenly creature.

P.S. 2: Oh. Right. I remember it now. I watched some episodes with them.

P.S. 3: This is the only way I manage for you to answer me something. Remember you never check your phone?

Regards, Min Yoongi. Staff Accountant.

P.S.: If you’re too bored, come and help me prepare the slides for the productivity reports of this month.

Subject: URGENT. Expense reports of June 2021

Two whom it may concern,

If you’re reading this, that means you’ve fallen into my deceiving abilities because no, I’m not talking about any expense reports (not yet at least). For now, the main topic here is Park Jimin and the fact that I’m pretty sure he kinda hates me even though I don’t know if angels (in the supposition that they exist) can hate people.

Yesterday I went to the HR office again to see Seokjin, and Jimin was there because he works there. And I was there because I’m still fixing that thing of my paycheck. So, it was a normal, not-planned interaction between two co-workers. Nothing weird. Because Jimin isn’t weird. I’m not weird.

But it was fucking weird.

Jimin was helping Seokjin with some paperwork that also included the paperwork concerning my paycheck, so at some point during my conversation with Seokjin, he asked Jimin to help us. And then I had to TALK to Jimin to explain him something while Seokjin attended a phone call, but I couldn’t talk? I swear words got like stuck in my head and I stared at him, but I remembered Hoseok’s words, so I stopped staring and just completely ignored him because I was already acting like a total freak.

And today, when I went to pick up my paycheck early in the morning, Jimin was at the HR office too because he works there. And I was there for my paycheck. So it was once again a very normal, not-planned interaction between two co-workers. But it was weird. Not because Jimin is weird, but because I was weird again and I ignored him even when he asked me if I wanted to get coffee too since he was leaving to the coffee shop.

In conclusion: Jimin hates me. I’m bored. I still think I’m a bit in love with him and that’s why I’m acting like a simp and comparing him with angels when angels don’t even exist. That’s the only explanation again.

And when you reply to this, I’ll send you the actual expense reports of the month.

Regards, Min Yoongi. Staff Accountant.

Dear Namjoon,

And I’m not sending you the reports until I get a proper advice.

Dear Yoongi,

I don’t think Jimin hates you because you are actually the one who’s acting as if you have a problem him. Have you tried stablishing a normal conversation instead of ignoring him?

Having a bunch of normal conversations will also solve the thing of you claiming to be in love with him only after some days of meeting him when, at most, it’s just attraction (since you don’t want to call it a crush), which is something very normal and nothing to be afraid of since the company doesn’t have a policy regarding dating between coworkers.

Subject: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: HOLY SHIT

Shit. I sent that too quickly again. Ah. And you already replied. Hold on. I wanted to write more.

Okay, so today I had to meet Seokjin to arrange some things regarding the budget for a capacitation for the sales team, and I was a bit later than the arranged because Taehyung and Jungkook are too damn good in sneaking for their own good and I had to spend more time than what I had expected in finding them so they could correctly fill those purchase orders for me to approve them. So, when I got to HR office, Seokjin wasn’t there anymore because it was already his lunch time and well, you know, those are his sacred thirty minutes, and I wasn’t gonna interfere on that. But Jimin was there, and even if I wasn’t planning to talk to him because yeah, I’m fucking embarrassed, he still greeted me with this shiny big smile and asked me if I was also on my break time. And I told him that I was, and Jimin said “oh. It’s also my lunch time!”, and then he invited me to go out to eat with him since he had forgotten to bring his lunch today because he woke up too late (and he joked about we both being late at something today. And it was the prettiest laugh I’ve ever heard. Help. I’m thinking on him as an angel again).

We went to the coffee shop across the street. Jimin seemed confused because I don’t put milk into my coffee and told me he can’t have coffee without milk and that he didn’t understand how people could handle black coffee. And then he apologized for that because he thought he was being too blunt, but I managed to say something since he was covering his tiny face with his tiny hands and thus, I couldn’t see his pretty eyes nor his pretty lips and, you know, stare at him in the way Hoseok warned me about and feel all flustered. I told him that I didn’t mind that he was blunt with me because I usually tended to act weird when I got nervous and that was also a bad behavior but with no bad intentions like him being blunt. And Jimin, still hiding his tiny face between his tiny hands, told me that he had kind of noticed that for the way I’ve acted with him before.

He said he’s okay with me being weird with him sometimes if I’m also okay with him being blunt with me. And then we drank our coffees, and we talked, and I told him about Holly and how if he ever feels like work is too much he can just visit Jungkook and Taehyung since the purchase team’s office has a TV and that he can also use my turn to choose what to watch during Tuesdays and Fridays, and he told me about how he had gotten lost after not finishing the office’s tour with Hoseok and how he ended up on the fifth floor with the lawyers firm and had no heart to say no to Eunji-ssi when she asked him to help her with something related to her computer like she always convinces Hoseok to do when she stumbles with him in the elevator.

Jimin’s cool. And kind. And funny. And he doesn’t hate me despite how weird I was with him before. And he actually made that meeting I had with Seokjin when we came back from our break entertaining since he was talking notes all the time or trying to hold himself for making suggestions regarding the capacitation’s topics, and he looked so cute when he pouted or bit his pen.

Holy shit. I may actually be in love.

Subject: Park Jimin is something else

Dear Namjoon,

Jimin brought tangerines to eat for lunch today and he offered me one when we both met today at the lunchroom. You know tangerines are the only fruit I can tolerate and when I told him that I’d gladly have a tangerine from him because of that, he said that where he used to live before one of his neighbors had a tangerine tree and that he’ll always get them for free since he used to be friends with the kids from that house. Jimin didn’t like tangerines before, but he was too shy to reject the offering and it took him years to confess that to his neighbor. He loves tangerines now, though. Apparently, eating them reminds him of summer and his childhood. That’s why he brings some for lunch whenever he can to help him ease his nerves. And he even learnt how to bake tangerine cookies on his first week in his new apartment! He said he didn’t have any friends in the city and didn’t know many places to visit because he'd never been in Seoul before, so during his first days here he barely left his apartment.

Did you know Jimin’s also new in the city? He came directly from Busan after finishing his masters degree. So tangerines also remind him of Busan. And his family. And his dog.

I swear I’ve never seen someone talking so passionate about tangerines. I am a tangerine defender myself (specially from you fuckers who think mangos are better just because they’re more expensive than tangerines. You better not try to bother Jimin with your weird ideas), but the way Jimin talked about them… I don’t know. It was something else. God. I’m telling you this: Park Jimin is something else. Wait. I can use that as the subject of the email. Give me a second.

Oh. Seokjin also told me Jimin’s really good at his job? And that he’s always the first one to arrive at their department and apparently baked cookies for Hayoon’s birthday yesterday?  

See? There’s no fucking way Jimin is human.

God. I’m so whipped.

Well, what exactly do you want me to say? I don’t know your exact height or Jimin’s, but you two look very similar when standing next to the other. Maybe you’re some millimeters taller than him? Or maybe he’s some millimeters taller than you?

Or maybe don’t overthink what Jimin said and continue with whatever you two have going on? Height isn’t important at all. What matters is the person you’re dating. If Jimin likes you, he’ll surely does it for your personality, not for your height.

Subject: I’M COOLER THAN YOU, KIM NAMJOON!!

To whom it may concern (which of course it’s you, Namjoon. Put attention to this),

Park Jimin baked cookies last night. Tangerine cookies. And he brought me some for me to have with my morning coffee so I could, and I quote, “have something sweet since I’m sweet and cute”.

Fuck being tall and buff like you. Park Jimin thinks I’m sweet and cute.

Regards, Min Yoongi. Staff Accountant.

Wow. That’s nice, hyung. Jimin really made a move in the right moment with your whole height-crisis.

Subject: YELLOW ALERT

Jimin is wearing a yellow sweater. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. We should have a day of the week when everyone wears something yellow to the office so he wears it again.

Wait, no. I hate wearing yellow. I don’t even have anything yellow on my wardrobe and I don't want to have to buy something yellow for an office rule.

Can it just be a thing for the HR department then? Or just a Jimin thing?

God. I’m so in love.

You know you can always ask him on a date or something like that, right? The fact that you two work at the same office doesn’t mean it only has to be some sort of office crush with you two only meeting here.

Uh, well, you know how when I met Jimin I joked about being in love with him? And you told me I only said that because I was bored, and that was true. It was just a tiny crush before (God. I can’t believe I actually type that word), so it was fine for me back then to push that joke for a while and act all intense about Jimin, but it’s not a tiny crush anymore. It’s a huge crush now. Like, very huge. Super huge. God. I really like Jimin so much.

Though it’s only been a month, and I know it may be silly, but I don’t want to ruin this just because I initially joked about loving Jimin because I was bored. Like, you know, what if I’m once again doing everything so hurriedly that it may be taken as a joke? God. What if Jimin ever finds out that I used to tell you that I loved him because I was bored and whipped? Wouldn’t it make what I feel for him less believable?

Hyung, I know I was the one who kept telling you before that you weren’t in love with Jimin because you’d barely known him back then, but I want you to understand that what’s happening right now between you and him is a whole different situation, and that you shouldn't take my opinion and thoughts to dictate how you feel towards someone. You know Jimin better now. And Jimin knows you too, which is something very important. You go to have lunch together every day to that coffee shop in front of the office, and when you don’t go there, we all see you two in the lunchroom sharing your food and giggling and looking at each other with in that cheesy way that has made Jungkook and Taehyung ate their lunch at their office for the past week. You wouldn’t do all those things only because you’re bored. No one would ever think that.

What I’m trying to say is that you two clearly like each other. Right now. Those are present feelings. I think that’s in what you should focus on, hyung. Sure, you made some jokes about loving Jimin before, but just as you told him once, you didn’t mean anything wrong with that and you actually didn’t do any harm to anyone since you had a tiny crush on him (and I’m glad you realize that yes, you can have a crush at 25).

So, yeah, it’s been a month since you and Jimin know each other. That’s fine. You can go out on many dates because you actually like him, and I bet he likes you back.

Don’t be so harsh on you, hyung.

Chapter 2: dear min yoongi,

Subject: Results of the investigation of the Human Resources department regarding the use of business emails in the company. Employee: Min Yoongi

Dear Min Yoongi,

This year, the Human Resources department has decided to compromise itself to take care of the office’s employees by developing a set of strategies regarding personal and professional security.

Under that topic, it has come to the department’s attention that this past month you’ve been using your business e-mail to exchange messages with personal content with other employees in the office. As a proof of that, here I attach some copies of those mentioned emails in which, despite some of them having subjects regarding office’s matters, there’s a clear repetition of words not related at all with your work and responsibilities in the office, such as “Jimin, angel, love, crush” among other.

Thanks to the participation of our new department’s assistant, Park Jimin, your emails have been tracked and monitored from the period between June 24^th of the present year to the current day.

Considering your actions, the resolution of the department is the following: you’ll fill a Human Resources Violation Form under the concept of a misuse of the office’s equipment, which will work as a warning to prevent this behavior of repeating itself. We expect your cooperation in the future in this issue in order to improve your experience in the office as well as the experience of the rest of your coworkers.

Best wishes, Kim Seokjin. Human Resources Director.

Subject: Yoongi hyung!! It’s me!! Jimin!!

I didn’t add this since I had to keep the other mail professional, but hyung, I’m so sorry I’ve been reading the emails between you and Namjoon-ssi:( I wanted to tell you before, but I just couldn’t find the way to admit that Seokjin hyung had asked me to do that because I felt so flustered as you kept telling Namjoon-ssi all those things about me and that you were in love with me, and how I supposedly hated you when in fact I was just upset you were ignoring me when I was trying to be your friend! (And maybe flirt a bit…? I’m sorry for all my comments again! I was being really unprofessional!).

I planned on telling you at some point even if Seokjin hyung warned me about not telling anyone of what I was doing since it was you, but every time I tried I chickened out, and I’m really sorry for that, hyung! You are in your entire right of being mad at me for intruding in your privacy and even getting to use that information to know when to cheer you up (though, to be honest, it was all a matter of work. You know I wouldn’t have done it otherwise! The first part, not the one of cheering you up. That was everything on me, and I’m really sorry for doing that. I feel awful even if my intentions were good because I still acted behind your back).

I hope this doesn’t make you change your mind about the date, though. Because I like you too, hyung. I like you so much! You’re also funny, and cute, and handsome, and who cares if we’re the same height when your smile is the prettiest one I have ever seen. I love when you smile! And when you tell me the stories about Holly and when you listen to my own stories and eat the cookies that I bake for you, and I love the fact that since we started having lunch together I have noticed that you now bring more to eat that what you did on our first days meeting in the lunchroom.

I also don’t find anything wrong on you joking with being in love with me with Namjoon-ssi before. You two are friends, after all, and making harmless jokes is a nice way of entertaining ourselves when we’re bored, so please don’t feel pressured about that!

But if you decide to not ask me out after this, I’ll understand it too. Don’t feel pressured about that too even with all the things I said. It’s your decision and I’ll respect it.

Sincerely, Jimin (not Kim Seokjin. I just manage his business email account, hyung. Remember I’m his assistant!).

P.S.: Please delete this email as soon as you read it. I’ll do the same after sending it you.

P.S. 2: Hyung, you should also try to delete all your non-work-related emails that you send in the future with your business account. You mentioned a bunch of things about Taehyung-ssi and Jungkook-ssi using the business email too, but don’t worry, I couldn’t find anything since they delete everything just as Namjoon hyung does. I advice you to do the same.

Subject: Re: Yoongi hyung!! It’s me!! Jimin!!

Dear Park Jimin (not Kim Seokjin despite the business email belonging to Kim Seokjin as Park Jimin is the one managing because of course Kim Seokjin is far too lazy to check his business email and he made his new assistant do that),

After reading and analyzing the information that you exposed, since we both have done things that we feel guilty of involving the other and hiding it between us, how about we now both do things that are nice for each other?

I, for example, will continue with the stablished plan of asking you on a date when we meet during lunchtime as I like you a lot, as you have already read on my emails with Namjoon because it was your job and you were asked to do it (not because you wanted to pry in my personal life and of course I understand that and the fact that you didn’t mention it to me since you were following orders from your boss. Also, thank you so much for cheering me up when I needed. Even if it was a bit weird that you did it because of my emails, but I still appreciate). It has also become of my knowledge that you like me back. Going on a date together will then result in, as far as I can see it, a convenient event for both of us after all the stress that this situation has caused for us.

You, on the other hand, for example, could wear the yellow sweater that you brought to the office today to our date. Because if you’re wearing it to the office that means that you like it, and, as you also know it, I happen to like it a lot too. And you. I like you, Jimin-ah. So much.

I’ll patiently (not so much) wait for our meeting during lunchtime to discuss further this situation.

Regards, Min Yoongi. Staff Accountant.

P.S.: I’ll delete it, don’t worry. I won’t risk you signing a HR violation form for my fault.

P.S. 1: I can’t believe those fuckers are actually hackers. What the fuck. Namjoon warned me about this.
