บท 17: Chapter 17: Helping hand

Jungkook looked suspiciously at Hoseok. "Why does he want to meet my sister?"

Namjoon cleared his throat. "Hoseok works at Jin's company and I have tried contacting your sister this morning because-"

"YOU HAVE DONE WHAT?" Jungkook said loudly and his attention snapped to Namjoon. "I told you what the plan was, why did you do that and how did you get her number?"

"I have my resources. Look," Namjoon started and stood up from the table. "I was desperate because another film company has stolen Jin's movie idea and..."

"That is no excuse to go behind my back." Jungkook said firmly and folded his arms.

"I know that is not an excuse. I need them to see her, she has chemistry with Jin and I think that it will save his company." Namjoon said softly.

Hoseok watched the exchange between the two. It seemed that there was a plan in place from the beginning but as Namjoon stated time was not in their favour anymore.

"I understand but as I have told you yesterday my sister does not want to do this." Jungkook said coolly.

"Is she here?" Namjoon asked and looked past Jungkook as if she would pop up out of thin air.

Hoseok stared in the direction Namjoon was looking in. He had to agree that it was strange that she was not here. Jungkook averted his gaze to the ground. "She does not work for me permanently."

"I thought this was a family business," Namjoon said softly.

"No, I started this business when I have left school-" Jungkook paused, what was he doing? He did not need to reveal to strangers his past.

Hoseok stood up. "I was hoping to get a glance at this mystery girl that Namjoon old me about that can save his company. I am sorry that we have intrude not knowing."

Jungkook bit his lip. There was no wrong doing on their behalf, they are simply here to save their friend's company and he... He wanted Yuna to do what she loved; acting. Make people smile and give them a play, he was just worried about their parents visit this weekend.

"Look, I am sorry that I raised my voice. It is just Yuna was so absent minded this morning and she is afraid that she will screw up her new job. She does sometime come and help out here." Jungkook smiled, "That would be around two in the afternoon when she is done teaching."

"She teaches?" Hoseok smirked slightly.

"Yes." Jungkook said uncertainly.

Hoseok did not say anything further on the matter. His smirk grew wider and Namjoon stared at him curiously. When that smirk appears it meant he had an idea forming already. Jungkook was getting restless, it was not as if there were any customers in the restaurant but he could not stand by and idle.

He was supposed to get ready to fetch Yuna and get this interviews going. She would be able to help him choose someone who would not dump the place in the near future. "Look, I am sorry that she is not here but I have to get ready."

Hoseok glanced down at his watch. "You are right. If I do not return soon... Jin would not be happy."

Namjoon let out a sigh. "You go, I would like to stay behind here."

Jungkook's attention snapped back at Namjoon, "Sorry? You are going to do what?"

"I am going to stay a little longer. You said she would be coming?"

Before Jungkook could reply. Hoseok stepped in, "I will try and wiggle it so that I can come around and meet this sister of yours."

"Wait just a second-" Jungkook started but Hoseok was already leaving the restaurant.

"You have to forgive Hoseok. He is just super excited about your sister."

"That is just the thing... He does not even know or have met my sister... So what did you tell him Namjoon?" Jungkook said with a heavy sigh.

"I just told them that she would be perfect and she had chemistry with Jin." Namjoon replied and followed as Jungkook walked away to his office door.

"You called that chemistry?"

"Yes, I do. Even she knew who he was and I could see that she was idolizing him but as soon as he was being a jerk... She put him in his place." Namjoon replied in a satisfying tone.

"Then you do not know my sister well..." Jungkook opened his office door and let Namjoon in, "I know she would be able to do this. She will be ale to save his company but it sounds to me if you have ulterior motives."

"I am just here to give you a helping hand. And I promise I will come with Hoseok when he comes to scout her during the week. I will keep him back if he wants to corner her."

Jungkook closed the door and his eyes went straight to the safe. It was still locked, he shook his head. He had to focus, "Fine... I am not going to tell her you are watching her. She will probably recognize you."

Namjoon cocked his head to the right. "Is something the matter?"

Jungkook stiffened. Was he being that obvious? The question was... Could he trust Namjoon? Yuna always told him he should be out there and make new friends but how do you start a friendship on, my business might close up because somehow I am losing money.

"I am good. I just need to get my apron off and fetch Yuna. We are having some interviews for a new waitress."

"Ah, I see. I wondered why you did not have any but why don't I help you out until you find someone or while Yuna is around?" Namjoon smiled.

His smile looked genuine and maybe it was not a bad idea to accept his offer and he said that he had to keep an eye on Hoseok when he comes around and scout. Jungkook inhaled a big breath, "That would be great."

Namjoon clapped his hands together. 'Then it is settled. I will be around go and fetch that feisty sister of yours."

Jungkook burst out laughing. She was feisty alright but he wished that she would be just as feisty with their parents. He took of the apron and threw it on his office desk. "I will see you in a few."

Yuna smiled at her class when they were busy packing their small backpacks. "You were all so good today that I think I will treat you all to something nice at the end of the month."

There were a few screams in delight. "What will it be teacher Jung?"

Yuna smiled as she looked at the excitement on their faces. It would seem that these children were misunderstood by the previous teachers. "If I tell you it would not be a surprise."

The bell rung, calling the end of the school day. Yuna waited for the children to grab their last things. Suri seems happier than she had yesterday. Yuna picked up her handbag, holding the door open to walk with the children so that their parents or the bus can pick them up.

When they reached the gate, Yuna saw that Jungkook was already waiting for her and she found that his face looked worried. 'What is happening to him?'
