Bree

Meaning: strength, honoured one

Bree inhaled the crisp autumn air as she simultaneously relaxed her eyes and mouth into a neutral expression.

After successfully putting on her work mask she strode into the building. Her caramel hair was tied into an elegant French twist and a cup of coffee in her manicured hand. Bree strode towards the elevator, the sound of her heels being muffled by the laughter and chatter of the employees around her. The metal doors opened, and Bree didn't hesitate to step in the elevator.

"Good Morning Ms Bree", one female employee greeted. Bree turned around and nodded at the employee with the same blank expression. The employee just smiled, used to Brees cold nature.

"Have a nice day Ms Bree", the same employee said and exited the elevator.

The elevator jerked to a halt and the metallic doors opened. Her heels echoed through the empty hall. This floor was only used by her and the CEO of the company.

As his secretary, Bree was obliged to be in her office half an hour before he waltzed in. People would think that working in such an enormous company would mean Bree having a secluded office of her own, but that wasn't the case here at Min Corporations. Her office, or rather her working area consisted of an L shaped wooden desk that was placed at the end of the hallway and was located next to the CEO's office. Bree didn't mind, she preferred working in the empty hallway being neighbours with the CEO himself than working in little cubicles a couple of floors down while constantly being screamed at by supervisors.

The ding sound of the elevator indicated the arrival of her boss. She pushed her glasses back and stood up to greet her him. The man that walked down the hallway was wearing one of the suits his maid picked out for him. He always walked down the hallway in big strides, his polished shoes hitting the marble floor with each stride. His small eyes were glued to his phone and the corner of his lip were turned downwards into a frown, the usual.

"Good morning, Mr Min" Bree greeted her boss and followed him into his office. His office was painted an eye relaxing grey. His desk was placed in front of a floor to ceiling window that looked over a nearby park. Two grey chairs were placed in front of his desk.

"How many times have I told you to just call me Yoongi? Anyways, what's my schedule for today" he sighed as he sat on his leather chair.

"Today you have scheduled the surprise inspection of the company departments at 10, followed by a meeting with the PR department at 12. At 2 pm you're going to have lunch with your parents at the Luna Restaurant. Oh, and the secretary of Mr Jung called to remind you of the event he is holding this evening at 6 pm", Bree placed the perfectly layered café latte she prepared for him, next to the stack of paper, while reciting his schedule.

Yoongi nodded as he took a sip of his coffee. He only drank coffee that was made by Bree, with the excuse that coffee shops couldn't achieve the taste he craved for. She was always careful to make the coffee a certain temperature or else his highly s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e tongue would get burned. She was also instructed to make the coffee in a transparent mug so that he could see the different layers of the coffee and milk.

"Would you like me to accompany you to the event this evening, sir?", Bree asked secretly hoping that he'd refuse her offer.

"Nah, no need I'll be fine by myself. Namjoon and Jimin will be there. You can take the evening off since you won't be needed. I'll be out the whole afternoon anyway", he instructed her while skimming through the papers on his desk.

"Thank you, would you like anything else, sir?" Bree adjusted her glasses with her index finger.

Yoongi shook his head while waving her off. Bree bowed before walking out of the room with a small smile on her face.

She spent the rest of the day working and organizing schedules and papers, trying to finish off all her tasks to go home early.

A sigh of relief escaped her lips as she finished off her last task. Bree packed her stuff and walked out of the company.

"Oh my god, the sun is still shining!" Bree squealed as the warm sun rays tickled her skin.

It was her first time to go home before sunset in the four years she worked under Yoongi. She always worked until late at night, assisting her workaholic boss.

Even though she enjoyed her job and was thankful for having Yoongi as her boss, she hated the fact that she had to spend her Friday nights in the office, instead of with friends like people her age.

At home, Bree was flipping through the channels when she decided to text her friends.

Bree: How about going to the club tonight?

Taehyung: Woah am I seeing this right? Bree texting us about clubbing??

Jungkook: Can someone check if the sun rose from the west?

Bree: Don't make me regret asking you

Taehyung: But Bree shouldn't you be working?

Bree: I was given the afternoon off

Jungkook: OMG what happened to the world? Bree wants to go clubbing and her cranky boss gave her the afternoon off??

Taehyung: Oh shit, I must start praying, the end is near!

Bree: That's why we have to celebrate, are you guys coming or what?

Taehyung: I'm sorry guys I can't join you I've got worked piled up :(

Jungkook: Have you ever seen me say no to partying? Bree, you better throw your granny glasses away and dress the part or I'm ditching you.

Bree: Pick me up at 6!

Taehyung: HAHAHAHA 6? Are you going to a child's birthday party?

Jungkook: I almost choked on my spit. Bree, I'll pick you up at nine ok?

Bree: whatever losers.

The clock struck six and Bree decided that it was time to get ready for the club. She took a shower and slipped into her c.o.c.ktail dress for the evening. She turned on some music and spent the time getting ready while dancing and singing.

A loud honk indicated that her friend has arrived. She hurriedly checked herself in the mirror before bolting out of her house.

"Get in loser", Jungkooks black Mercedes was parked in front of her house.

"Thank god you listened to me and wore lenses", he thanked the heavens that she ditched her glasses that hid her beautiful features.

"Let's go and relive our college days", Bree slipped into the car with a huge smile.

"Hell yeah!" Jungkook cheered.

The drive to the club was full of off-note singing and laughter. They arrived at the club and Jungkook parked his car near the entrance. A long line of dressed up people were queued waiting for the bouncer to let them in. Bree hooked her arms with Jungkook and walked into the club without having to wait in the long line since her dear best friend was a regular here.

Yoongi and his friends were sitting in a fancy hall in a hotel bored out of their wits. Jung Hyunwoo, one of the most successful businessmen in the country, held an event where he bragged about how much money he had and all the things he's done throughout his career.

"If this guy says one more word about how he spends his money, I will poke my eyes out", Namjoon, Yoongis best friend, muttered under his breath.

"I can make better food with my toes than whatever it is they've served us" Jimin w.h.i.n.ed, another friend of Yoongi.

Yoongi met Namjoon and Jimin a couple of years back and they instantly clicked. Namjoon was the eldest son of the Kim Enterprise and the current Vice President of the company. Jimin, on the other hand, was the spoiled younger son of the Park Trading Company. He wasn't the heir of the company since he had an older brother that took that burden off his shoulders.

"Let's leave this place and go to a club to let loose", Yoongi suggested to his friends and they all nodded in agreement.

The three friends left the event unnoticed and drove off to the nearest club. As soon as the bouncer let them in, they were greeted by the smell of alcohol and sweat that filled the People were talking, moving and laughing. The flashing lights that filled the club were colourful and shining on the people dancing.

Yoongi and his friends made their way to the curved stainless-steel bar and ordered a few shots. Their goals for the night was to let loose and drink until they can't function and maybe get laid if they're lucky.

"Same rules as every time, if you're getting laid don't bring her to your house. We don't want the incident that happened to Jimin to repeat itself", Namjoon instructed.

"Please don't remind me, that chick was delusional. I had to change my number and apartment because she wouldn't leave me alone", Jimin shuddered at the memory.

They all nodded in understanding as they scanned the club.

"Look at that chick over there, she's hot" Namjoon sent the redhead a charming smile as she giggled with her friends.

"And bye my dear friends, the hot redhead sent me the signal" Namjoon smirked as he strode to his date for the night.

"Damn, that was fast. How come he always gets a girl?", Jimin w.h.i.n.ed as he ran his fingers through his c.h.e.s.tnut hair.

"It's because he isn't as short as you" Yoongi shrugged as he twirled the bitter liquid in his hand.

"F.u.c.k off, you're only 2 cm taller than me" Jimin glared at him.

"I'm still taller", Yoongi stuck his tongue out at Jimin who sent him a glare.

Bree walked to the bar and ordered a drink. She loved ending a tiring week in a club, just dancing and singing her heart out. Bree closed her eyes and smiled as the atmosphere reminded her of her college days.

She sat on one of the stools and started sipping her drink. Suddenly she felt a pair of strong arms circle her waist, she rolled her eyes assuming it was Jungkook

"Jungkook, get yourself a girlfriend", she complained, then turned around and met the eyes of her drunk ex-boyfriend.

"I can't believe you followed me all the way here", she scoffed. Jin tightened his grip on her "Get your hands off me Jin" she hissed as she slapped his hands away. Bree and Jin dated for a year before breaking it off because he cheated on her with his secretary.

"Come on baby I know you miss me too" his voice slurred, clearly drunk.

"Hey Bree!", a deep voice roared over the music. Bree sighed in relief when she saw Jungkook approaching her.

"Do you know this man?" Jungkook raised an eyebrow at Bree as he wrapped an arm around her waist. Jungkook knew about Jin, but Jin didn't know him since he dated Bree before she met Jungkook.

"Nope", Bree whispered as she leaned her head on his c.h.e.s.t.

"My girlfriend said she doesn't know you so I advise you to keep your hands off her before I break them for you", Jungkook's glare was all Jin needed to know that he wasn't wanted near Bree.

"Thank you", Bree sent Jungkook a grateful smile when Jin walked away.

"No worries, that's what best friends are for, now shake that a.s.s of yours and let's dance!", Jungkook pulled her to the dance floor. A giggle escaped her tinted lips as she followed Jungkook.

She missed the times where she would weekly hit the club with Jungkook and her friends back in college. Just drinking, dancing and enjoying their time. She forgot the accelerating feeling that ran through her body while dancing, the feeling of being free. She moved her h.i.p.s to the music, feeling the alcohol relaxing her body.

"Hey Yoongi, isn't that your secretary Bree over there?" Jimin nudged his head in the direction of the girl dancing in the middle of the dance floor.

Yoongi raised an eyebrow as he looked at the girl Jimin was referring to. At first, he didn't recognize her but when he narrowed his eyes, a gasp escaped his lips. His secretary was dancing in a club?

His jaw hung open as he observed her appearance. Her normally tightly pulled hair, cascaded down her exposed back in soft curls. Her monochrome attire was replaced with a red body fitting dress that reached her mid-t.h.i.g.h. She wasn't wearing her black-rimmed glasses, emphasizing her big brown eyes.

Yoongi was completely taken back by the contrast of her appearance, but the thing that threw him off the most was the fact that she was smiling. It wasn't the tight-lipped smile she forced on her lips whenever Yoongi tried to crack a joke, it was a smile that took his breath away. The corners of her lips were pulled up naturally and her eyes twinkled in mischief as she danced with the man in front of her.

Her h.i.p.s swaying sensually to the rhythm of the music, her eyes closed as she enjoyed the moment. Her arms resting on the c.h.e.s.t of her male friend, or at least Yoongi hoped it was her male friend, not her boyfriend.

"Yoongi, close your mouth, you're drooling" Jimin chuckled at his friend's expression.

"I wasn't drooling, I was observing", Yoongi rolled his eyes.

"Whatever rows your boat" Jimin shrugged.

"Do you think I should approach her?" Yoongi turned to Jimin.

"What? Hell no, I don't think she'd be able to enjoy herself knowing that her cranky boss is watching her", Jimin's eyes widened at the obviously stupid question that came out of Yoongi's mouth.

"I'm not cranky", he mumbled under his breath before sipping on his drink.

"If you're not cranky then I'm the taller than you", Jimin said with a smug smile.

"F.u.c.k off", Yoongi muttered.

Why wouldn't she want to see him? I mean why wouldn't she be comfortable if he's in the same place as her? Yoongi sighed as his eyes went back to Bree. She looked happy. On second thought, Jimin was right, he'd rather stay in the shadows watching her enjoy herself than talk to her and risk her getting uncomfortable and leaving the club.

Bree was dancing with Jungkook, when she noticed him glancing at something behind her, she turned and saw a beautiful girl standing on the other side of the bar. She chuckled, how could she forget that her best friend was a hot male who attracted every female in a 1 km radius.

"Go", Bree softly said.

"What do you mean?", Jungkook raised his eyebrows confused.

"I see you checking out the girl wearing black, stop eye f.u.c.k.i.n.g and go to her already", Bree teased.

Jungkook shook his head while chuckling.

"Just go, I'll go home after having a couple of drinks. I don't think I can stay longer my feet are killing me", Bree gave Jungkook an ensuring smile.

"Are you sure? I can drive you home first," he offered.

"I'll be fine, I mean come on it's not the first time that I go home this late, I work for Yoongi remember? Besides, I don't want to blow off your chance of a one-night stand. Now off you go" Bree waved him off.

"You're the best! Text me when you get home, okay?" he put his hands on her shoulders as he looked into her eyes and she nodded in response.

"Oh, wait. Can I have your jacket before you go?" Bree held onto his arm stopping him from walking away.

"Ehm, no. If you haven't noticed the girl I'm trying to get on with is wearing a strapless dress, which means she'll get cold and that's why I need my jacket. You know how chicks dig gentlemen", he smirked as he wiggled his eyebrows.

"Aren't you worried about your only best friend?", Bree gave him the cutest puppy eyes trying to persuade him, but he just shook his head.

"No, you said you'll be fine", he ran his fingers through his hair trying to make it look good, not that he needed it. He looked gorgeous either way, but Bree would never tell him that, she didn't want to feed his massive ego.

"I guess I'll tell everyone that you get scared of needles. How does that sound big guy?", Bree's lips curled into a mean smirk.

"What? Why?" Jungkook's eyes widened in surprise.

"F.u.c.k you, that's why", Bree stuck her tongue out at him.

"Ew no, I have standards", Jungkook retorted before walking to his date for the night.

"Ungrateful brat", Bree glared at Jungkook's retreating figure before walking to the bar and gulping down a few shots.

She grimaced as the bitter drink burned her throat, she was between slightly tipsy and drunk, but more on the drunk side. Bree decided to call it a night and go home to the warmth of her blanket.

She walked out of the overcrowded club into the chilly night. The moon shone dully and was covered by clouds, the streets were still full of life even though it was past midnight. Bree looked up at the sky and was greeted by a black sky with no hint of stars. At times like this, she wished she lived in the countryside, where she could admire the stars instead of the blaring artificial lights.

She hugged herself as soft smile gracing her features, the wind blew through her hair.

She took a few deep breathes before opening her eyes slowly and walking to her house that was a couple of blocks down.

Yoongi has been observing her from the moment Jungkook left her side and he followed her out of the club. Yoongi watched her as she stumbled through the streets while humming a random song. She'd trip occasionally but would stand up straight and walk normally before Yoongi could reach out to help her.

"Damn, looks like I've won't be going home alone tonight", a random guy whistled. He popped out of an alley with his two friends behind him. Fear kicked into Bree's system as she saw the three men approaching her, she gulped. The men eyed her up like a bunch of hungry predators, but Bree ignored them and kept walking with her head held high.

"How about we go to my place and I show you a good time?" he asked as he walked next to her, throwing his arm around her shoulder. Bree's body tensed, but she decided to stay quiet in hopes that they'd leave her alone.

"Is she deaf or something?" he raised an eyebrow after receiving no reply from her.

"No I'm not, I just decided to ignore the stupidity coming out of your mouth", Bree snapped.

"Oh, we've gotten ourselves a comedian", on of the guys snorted and she gave him a tight smile before rolling her eyes.

"Come on babe, we'll have fun", he whispered in her ear. Bree glanced at him with a blank face.

"I can make you happy?", he wiggled his eyebrows.

"Why are you leaving?", she asked.

"How come you're so beautiful?", one of his friends tried.

"God must've given me your share."

The man grew red in the face as his friends threw their head back while laughing.

He grabbed her arm and pulled her into his c.h.e.s.t. "Listen here bitch", he growled.

"Oh I'm sorry, did I scratch your big fat ego?", she raised her eyebrow meeting his gaze.

His eyes got darker as he approached her, he then lifted his hand and slapped her across her face. "This is what you get for acting up."

Bree stumbled backwards, her hand flew to her throbbing cheek as she glared at the man. Her fists were clenched as her body heat up with anger.

She knew she shouldn't have left alone, but who would've thought that she'd encounter horny men on the way home. She was in pain, cold and terrified, but she didn't want to show them that they intimidated her.

Yoongi was walking on the opposite street. He panicked when he saw the scene unfold, he wanted to run and give them a piece of his mind, but the men were twice his size and he was sure that they'd beat him up. He stood in his place for a few seconds contemplating whether to run in without a plan and save Bree or just call the police.

The three men started walking toward Bree, cornering her against a wall.

"I'll have my way with her first and then you guys can have her", the man smirked as his friends helped him pull her to a nearby alley. They pushed her against the wall each one of them holding one of her arms, preventing her from moving.

Bree widened her eyes, frozen in her place as one of them started leaning closer. She wanted to scream for help, but only hoarse gasps rolled out of her lips. The more he touched her the more terrified she got, but she stood tall not giving him the p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e of seeing her frightened.

"F.u.c.kers", Yoongi cracked his knuckles and fastened his pace. He was about to cross the road when he saw Bree running out of the alley with the three men hot on her tail. She then took off one of her high heels and smashed the window of a nearby car. The silent street was filled with the blaring sound of the alarm waking up most of the residents that lived nearby. The lights of numerous windows turned on and countless heads popped out the windows. She stood in the middle of the street, panting, yet grateful that she caught the attention of the residents. The three men glanced at each other and sprinted off before anyone could catch a glance of them.

"F.u.c.k.i.n.g cowards", Bree slipped on her shoe and hurried to hide from all the eyes. As soon as she reached a secluded place, she felt her body shake in fear.

"I'm okay, I'm fine, nothing happened", she reassured herself as she bit her lip suppressing the urge to cry.

Bree started walking down the streets, but after some time she felt someone following her and she quickened her steps.

Bree suddenly turned around screaming and hitting the person that followed her with her tiny purse.

"It's me, Yoongi", his strong hands held her frail arms. When Bree met the worried eyes of her boss relief washed over her when she saw his familiar face and the tears she was holding back flowed down her cheeks freely.

"What? No, no please don't cry", Yoongi could handle anything but he was helpless in front of crying women. He stood awkwardly scratching his neck clueless not knowing what to do. The loud cries of Bree turned into sharp gasps. Yoongi saw her hand clutching her c.h.e.s.t as she stared at him with wide eyes.

Then it dawned on him. She was having a panic attack.

"Take a deep breath, inhale and exhale", he instructed her. Yoongi fished her phone out of her purse and unlocked it with her finger. He dialled the last number she called and the name Jungkook popped up on the screen.

"What?", a sleepy voice answered.

"This is Bree's phone, she's been attacked", Yoongi whispered into the phone.

"What do you mean attacked?", Jungkook's voice roared through the phone.

"I'll tell you the details later. I'm Yoongi and we're at Gangwon Street near the park. Hurry up please", he pleaded.

" I'll be there as soon as I can", Jungkook hung up and Yoongi walked to Bree who was sitting on the sidewalk rocking her small body back and forth. Yoongi's heart broke at her state, her hair was dishevelled, her mascara ran down her chin and her nose was red from all the crying. She looked terrified and he didn't know how to make her feel better.

"I called Jungkook, he'll be there soon", Yoongi took off his blazer and hung it over her shoulders.

They sat down in silence only disturbed by the occasional sniffs that came from Bree.

"Would you like a hug?", Yoongi offered with a shy smile "I don't know much about panic attacks, but my mom told me that a hug helps in every situation." it was true that his mom said that to him, but he couldn't think of a better excuse than that to hold her.

Bree chuckled softly and nodded, he scooted closer to her and pulled her into his c.h.e.s.t.

"It's okay, you're okay. I'm here", he whispered into her ear.

If anyone told her this morning that she'd be hugging her boss at night, she'd laugh in his face, but look at her now cuddled up in the arms of her boss and it didn't feel awkward at all. Bree felt oddly safe in his arms as his normally harsh voice was soft and delicately as he whispered comforting words in her ear.

They sat in comfortable silence under the starless night, accompanied by the warmth of their bodies. Yoongi was admiring Bree who fell asleep, she looked like a child cuddled up in his arms. Her body against his felt right in a weird way, but he loved it. He leaned his head on hers, he closed his eyes enjoying the moment. Yoongi knew it wasn't appropriate now, but he was happy. He was happy to finally be able to hold the girl he's been crushing on. He didn't want this moment to end, just him and her in each other's embrace under the moon.

Yoongi snapped out of his thoughts as a black car parked in front of them, the same guy he saw in the club stepped out of it.

"Bree!", his deep voice roared as he approached them. Bree's eyes opened as she heard Jungkook's voice.

"Jungkook", her lips trembled and fresh tears welled up in her eyes as she pushed Yoongi's arms away and ran into Jungkook's embrace. Yoongi sighed, missing the warmth of her body against his, but he knew she needed Jungkook's comfort more than his. I mean, he was her boss not a friend of hers.

"Are you okay?" his worried eyes scanned Bree. She looked like a mess, her hair was dishevelled, her eyes were red and swollen from all the crying, her make up was ruined and one of her cheeks was flushed.

"I want to go home", she whispered as more tears fell out of her red eyes, Jungkook nodded and walked her to his car. After escorting Bree to his car he turned around and jogged back to Yoongi.

"What happened?", Jungkook asked.

"I saw her being dragged away by three men, but she managed to run away before I could interfere. Then I followed her and she started having a panic attack so I dialled the last number she called. I'm sorry I wanted to help her but it all happened so fast", Yoongi lowered his head in shame.

"I shouldn't have let her go home by herself", Jungkook sighed as he glanced at Bree, who was sleeping in his car. "Thanks for calling me, Hop in, I'll drop you off" Jungkook offered, but Yoongi shook his head.

"Nah man, I'm fine just get Bree home", Yoongi nodded his head at Bree.

"Okay, good night and thanks again", Jungkook hopped into his car and drove off, leaving Yoongi standing by himself in the empty street.

Yoongi sighed as he started walking to the main street, hoping to catch a cab back home.

His mind was filled with Bree's hip movements earlier at the club, her smile and her s.e.xy appearance. Then his thoughts wandered to the moment she was cuddled against his c.h.e.s.t, how vulnerable she looked and how she clung onto him as if her life depended on it. His blood boiled in anger as the faces of the three men that attacked her flashed in front of him.

He took his phone out and called dialled a number. "Hey Hoseok, can you look into three guys for me?" Yoongi asked. He wasn't going to go home without teaching the men who dared to do this to the girl he loved a lesson.
