The Beginning Of One Of The Possible Options...

The beginning of one of the possible options...

I have to admit, I am unsure if this is the one I want to proceed with. I will post this here so I have easy access..... and then maybe post the other one and decide later. (Honestly, I may have posted this before - who knows by this point.)

It was an odd request - that you know for sure. Not only because of how you received the invitation, but the shock that surrounded you once others you once worked with found out who the request was FROM. 

It was no secret - there was something mysterious about the household that seemed to have one of the most brilliant minds reside within it. No one has actually seen the main man himself, just dealt with the people who work for him and maintain the household. 

His employer truly was brilliant and was able to change the approach that best suits the situation-

Which is why the request that reached you was so hard to believe. 

“What do you mean you are requesting I do this project for you,” you asked your friend, hand frozen mid-air, holding a book you were about to put away. 

“Please please Y/N, I need you to do this - you are the perfect fit and we don’t want to risk losing him as a client,” Jisoo asked, giving you her adorable pout. But that wasn’t about to work on you. 

You finished shelving the book then put your hand on your hip as you looked at her. “Seriously, I know nothing about this client except that your company does a lot of work with them and their projects are highly sought after. You probably have plenty ready to jump at this type of opportunity-”

Jisoo shook her head as she cut you off. “No. Because this isn’t a normal request. You will have to PHYSICALLY go to their manor and help with arranging and cleaning up their library.” She let out a heavy sigh as she tried to think of the best way to explain this to you. “We have no one who is qualified for that-” “Then get a librarian. I work at a bookstore-” you started as you lightly shook your head to go and attend back to what you were doing. 

“It’s going to take a while - in fact, we have no idea how long it would take,” Jisoo stated. She then grabbed your hand, a begging look on her face. What in the world would drive her to this type of despair?

Wait….

“Does that mean I have to quit here?” You couldn’t help the disbelief that was obvious in your voice. “My boss already talked to your boss and you have the approval to leave - with a full offer to have your job back once this has been completed,” Jisoo murmured, slightly embarrassed that this is all coming to light before you even agreed. “So…. that means you’ll take it?”

“You are so lucky I love you,” you reply, unable to hide your stunned state. 

“I know. And Jennie says thanks too - and she called you a lucky-” You held up your hand to cut Jisoo off. “Yeah yeah, I get it. I don’t even see why you think I am the right person for this, but your company definitely doesn’t take short-cuts when it comes to him. I’m in - but-”

Jisoo squealed and hugged you, practically spinning the both of you in your spot. “THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Once you get off your shift today, head over to my office. We’ll talk details and pay and arrangements - I mean you’ll also need to make sure you have time to pack because I don’t know how long you staying here-”

“Wait-”

“Oh yeah, we were going to go over that this afternoon. But you’ll be staying there as well. Not just driving there every day,” she stated before practically dashing away and waving. “Thank you again!”

“JISOO!” you exclaimed. She didn’t - but - what- staying there? Oh she was going to get an EARFUL from you when you got to her office.

The sounds of the tires hitting the gravel knocked you out of your stupor and had your brain finally accept the fact that the beautiful scenery and sights you were viewing was actually real and not some sort of dream or movie. 

Though it CLEARLY belonged there. 

The driver pulled around on the half-circle driveway, stopping at the doors in the middle. You did the stereotypical action of looking up at the view while remaining behind the window because oh my goodness what kind of world did you step into? Jisoo had given you a basic rundown of the place - they only sent people out here like once or twice and it was for time-sensitive work because the whole company preferred to work via the internet - but the description she gave you did not do it any justice. 

Then again, her description was more like “Oh my God Y/N, it is gorgeous from what they said - almost like pulling into a fairytale story,” but still. It somehow did not prepare you for… THIS. There were many miles of just land. Acres really, and even then, it felt like the home overtook the gorgeous and natural view around it. What in the world did she get you into?

You were so caught up in the view that you missed the initial sound that the driver made to get your attention. The second time he cleared his throat was MUCH louder and almost sounded painful. It made you wince and look over bashfully, caught in just gawking. You swear you were an adult. Sometimes.

He offered you a polite smile and tilted his hat at you as he was glad to have your attention. “Mr. Kim will be out soon. He wanted to greet you personally - since this was more of his project than anything.” “Oh, okay. That is fine, I’m just-” before you could continue the car door was opened for you and a hand magically appeared in front of you. Out of instinct you took it and allowed it to help you out - almost feeling like a princess.

Only to be met with one of the most - no, THE most - handsome man you had ever laid your eyes on. You couldn’t help but blink. Then look around. Is someone pulling your leg? You turned back to the car - “Are you sure you took me to the right place,” you asked, forgetting that the man in front of you could clearly hear you.

The tall man cleared his throat, a grin appearing on his face, his dimples clearly showing. “Greetings Miss Y/S/N. You are Miss Y/S/N, correct?”

Hearing his genuine question made your head turn to look at him again - and looked up. He really was tall. “Y-Yeah. Sorry. I think I might just be a bit tired - the drive was a bit longer than I had expected?”

Yeah, you ended that with a question. Brilliant, Y/N, just flipping brilliant. 

“And you must be Mr. Kim. He was telling me you’d be here,” you started. 

That caused him to smile again, and man that was just so darn charming. You know what, if you are being pranked or somehow fell into some sort of novel, you’d just accept it for now. Definitely could be worse. “Yes, my name is Kim Namjoon. You can call my Namjoon if you prefer-” “No, Mr. Kim seems to work best for me right now,” you answered, lightly shaking your head as you offered him your own smile. 

That made him chuckle. “There are actually three ‘Mr. Kims’ here so maybe you’ll adopt a name for at least one of us,” he responded. “But we are truly very happy to have you here. I’m not going to lie, I should have had this attended to much sooner, but well, what I prioritize is slightly different than The Master’s. His being more business while mine is more of a personal whim.” 

As he spoke, he had motioned for some of the servants to attend to your luggage and before you had realized it, the driver had opened the trunk and they were all hauling it away while your attention had been captured by the man in front of you.

You almost felt like you had been duped - he was distracting you as the others made your stuff ‘disappear.’ It was ridiculous but seriously, how had he captured your attention so much? “We have a lot to cover I’m afraid,” Mr. Kim stated as you started to follow him.

He had made no statement nor any actual movement for you to follow, but his presence just commanded it and you found yourself obeying - again questioning if maybe this truly is a place of magic because really - 

“That is fine, I suppose. I got some of the basics when I was originally approached for the position,” you responded, wanting to seem like you had some sort of professional experience. You did, just somehow the atmosphere and the people momentarily made it disappear. “Though I must admit she didn’t give me much to work with in regards to details.”

Mr. Kim nodded in understanding. “Yes, I’m afraid we didn’t give much either. Yoongi - Mr. Min is what you may know him as - tends to not care too much for certain information to be given if it isn’t needed. I would have happily told them more if they requested, but they seemed to have accepted the little he provided.” He sounded a little confused about it but you couldn’t help but try to hide your smile.

You knew EXACTLY why. They weren’t going to miss another opportunity to really get in with their good graces. Didn’t want to give much info? Fine - they’d get it to work as best as they could. Wasn’t something they normally did? Who cares. To keep getting requests from the Bangtan Company was just an honor and they weren’t about to lose it. All about staying on their good side because everyone kept saying that Bangtan was essentially just THE company to work with - even with their slightly smaller size. The brilliance was there. What they did always seemed to be golden.

“Mr. Min - he is the head secretary, correct,” you ask, which Mr. Kim nodded in confirmation. You have a feeling that you have just as much authority. “So, what is your position?”

That made him grin. He couldn't stop the chuckle that escaped him at your statement. He is definitely going to have to tell Yoongi that one.

“Fancy title: Majordomo,” he started, then looked around to make sure he was leading you the right way. “Chief steward of the household is another way to think of the title if that helps.”

“It does,” you confirmed.

My Four Random Words:

suppress

long

able

lecture

Go back to college they said. You can do it they said. What they didn't say was even though you have matured and have experience now, is that lectures were still just as tiring.

EVEN MORE SO IN FACT.

How long have you been wanting to yawn but know it would be complete obvious if you did so? How much did you have to suppress the urge to just lay your head down because honestly, you are a working adult and these shifts are starting to truly wear you down.

This has to be inhumane!

"This is important history here," the gentleman up front stated before he fixes his glasses. "It is constantly being mistold. Everyone has accepted one way - one version of this story. And it is the version with the 'Happily Ever After' ending. And it just truly isn't correct. How can we learn how to counter? How is Belle alive to this day? What do you mean you don't know what I am talking about? If you have watched Beauty and the Beast by Disney, you think you know the tale.

But you are completely misinformed."

You sat up again. Truly, how people don't know the truth and assume that the happy story is the correct story. How are they able to just... function? They must be confused when they talk to someone who's ancestors are some of the real house servants who lived with 'the Beast'.

And you hear this lecture time and time again. Yet there is always that person who speaks up, tries to correct, and then is flattened when the professor has to show how they are wrong and in so many ways.

And he always does it with that sigh.

Fairy tales really happened, but not quite like everyone expected. Some of the story tellers edited slightly to suit what they wanted, but for the most part, a lot of it contained crucial information.

But only more recently have people realized the truth and accepted it. Only more recently has the 'Fairy Tale' World allowed the rest of the world to actually see them, learn about them, and show them the truths behind EVERYTHING.

You think people would eat this information up. But no, they are so set in their happily ever after for everything that it has taken nearly shaking sense into the 'normal world' for some of it to get into their thick skulls.

And this is why it is boring. Once he starts getting to the real stuff - able to get past this beginner phase with basic information, that's when it gets good.

It just takes far to long to GET THERE.

She put her ear to the door, trying to overhear what was going on. Normally she wasn't one to eavesdrop but there was something weird here and she needed to know if she was safe or if an escape plan was needed.

Because this was clearly not what she originally signed up for when she was asked to attend to this estate's library.

"... can't hide it for much longer," the female stated.

She thought for a moment. There weren't too many females here, was it the young woman Mulan. She remembered that conversation because she had grown up watching that movie and hearing that tale -

But that was a thought for a different day.

"Then what do you suggest," an exasperated adult male asked. "She is important to all of it working. Without her, we fail and we will never get the truth out. And that means LIVES Mulan."

First - confirmed female voice. Second - what?

"I know," Mulan replied, tried to keep quiet. "But I am also terrified. What if it doesn't work - should we not let her know?"

"You want to risk the life of the others," the male said. There was shuffling and a possible sniffle. "They all deserve their truth and freedom."

Another pause. "Okay, we keep as we are, and pray she truly is the one we have been waiting for. For everyone."

That was enough. She needed to back away. She was not in danger but not needed. But she felt a drop in her stomach. Because there was no way that she was the one they wanted or were waiting for. Couldn't be. She didn't want to let them down, but what is she to do?

She needed to figure out what was going on and who they were waiting for. But she knew she could not be blunt about it.

She took a deep breath and headed back to the library. That was why she was here, and that was where the answers lay. She would no longer hesitate or just dally. She was terrified of the monster that seems to appear in there from time to time but someone always came in time to rescue her and bring her to safety.

And the monster seemed to never show itself when others were there. The inhabitants of this estate always seemed to come when she needed them most. So she would have to keep the faith that they would or would come if called.

Someone needed her to do her job so she could get the RIGHT person there. And she wouldn't let them down.

It is that time of year!!! Time to make my vision board and make plans…

I know a few I am going to do, and just remembered ones I forgot to add. So that will be done - I hand draw the items so the pictures aren’t that great but I have fun doing it. Also makes me appreciate those with talent because apparently I have no patience for it XD

I think one I want to try is to make at least a story or writing a month…. That is one I need to add.

And I want to keep improving! What do y’all normally put on your vision boards? (They help me recenter and focus on what I want and who I hope to become. ^•^)

So I have my main-ish story that I want to work on, but am being reminded I have a "Trope" Series I was going to do and I am excited-

Yet cannot write a darn thing. HA. Maybe I should try editing my main story.

4 Random Words of the Day:

appearance

collar

wife

creation

"This... this sounds like literal fanfiction," you stated as you looked at the premise. "Usually here would be an appearance of like a super popular idol or something and just-"

Taehyung looked curiously as he took his notebook out of your hand, looking over it to try to see what you see. "What do you mean?"

"Look, okay? Like I totally see hybrid or Andriod or Stepford wives AU or something," you started, pointing out some of the key elements of suggestion. "Collars? Screams hybrid AU. Where the owner hates putting them on their Hybrid because they deem it inhumane and they treat their hybrid well and see the human side of them."

He looked at you, wordless, as he just... blinked. Taehyung did manage to open his mouth once but then closed it. It was to hear what more you had to say. Because it sounds like you read these A LOT.

"And look here," you continued. "This idea - it seriously almost sounds like an Andriod AU. Like, maybe someone made the android, and their creation came to life and though they were made to be someone's wife, the creator became attached and saw that they had so much more potential than the brainless actions they originally were designed for. Or SOMETHING. I just-"

"Glad you didn't jump to BDSM at least, I guess," Taehyung finally interjected, with his infamous grin. He had a look that made you hesitant and suspicious.

What is going on in your mind," you asked. You KNEW there was something else he was thinking about and you just... you had reasons to be suspicious.

"You read stuff like this a lot?"

THERE IT WAS. You blushed and closed the notebook, then went to rush away. "Whatever. You asked my opinion and I am going to go now."

He was outright laughing now. "No! Wait! I want to hear more! Because this is actually fascinating and I would definitely read these too - come baaaaaaack! Y/NNNNNN!"
