♡ youngho x ashley ♡

@✧ youngho ✧ it just does, in my head. i know how he can get with the guys around him so i can't possibly let you go with me, youngho. i'm serious. i don't know what i'd do to him or to myself if he hurt you and i know for sure that he won't hurt me, at least not physically. i promise you that. you don't have to worry. youngho- it's not wrong, i just,, i just can't let you get hurt, okay? that's all there is, i'm being honest. i sigh under my breath as you react this way even though he's not even here and even though he's not doing anything to me, at least not yet, worried because you're so affected by his actions that haven't yet been carried out. i smile a bit before nodding my head lightly once you ask if you can drive me there, chuckling under my breath. if it will make you feel better, yes, you can drive me there, silly. /the/ best there is!! i exclaim excitedly, laughing out loud like a dork i am, trying to lift up your mood a bit more so you're not being a frowny cute .

@♡ ashley ♡ and how does that make sense, if i may ask? i eye you quietly concrned with the words you spew from your delicate lips, brow raising for a couple moments. well i mean is it wrong for me to care for someone i like, though? i don't think it's a crime and it's his problem if he can't care for you enough to the point you have to tiptoe around him and someone else has to show him how much of a small he is. i roll my eyes, arms crossing over my chest as i'm quite heated over this little argument. ill lose my if he touches you, bitna. what if he touches you? i call out what you seem blind to see, obviously concerned. i sigh quietly and rub my temples can i at least drive you there? i don't feel good about letting you go alone, god knows what that er can do to you. i mutter under my breath, raging on the inside seeing i hate him that much. snorts quietly i mean it is true i have the best assistant in th world, honestly mutters and nods slowly sending you a small smile considering i'm still a bit mad but i can never be mad at you.

@✧ youngho ✧ which is exactly i can't let you go with me, no matter how much i want you to go because i know i would feel safer with you by my side, youngho. i know how bad he can get and i know how protective you can get over me and that's really not a good combination for neither of the three of us. looks up at you as you stand up and walk over to me, shaking my head lightly. i would be hurting more if i decided to stay in the relationship, i don't think it'll hurt me as much to just leave him. as you should, you have the best assistant there is in the world! says teasingly, pouting at you as you pinch my cheek.

@♡ ashley ♡ a stupid break up- repeats after you tilting my head to the side as i eye you. i mean- holds up my arms shrugging quietly if you dont want me there, i respect your choice i just want you safe. id only pick up a fight if he decided to e a about it, you know? raises a brow. hums tapping my fingers on the desk behind me before pushing myself off it, making my way up to you, looking down at you. you know, im not mad at you, im just worried because i dont want you hurting hums, rubbing my nape quietly. in that case i will trust my lovely assistant laughs softly rsting my hand on top of your head to gently pat it, humming softly. how cute she sticking out her tongue at me mutters, pinching your cheek.

@✧ youngho ✧ it's, it's not. it's not just a stupid break up. things were going on behind the happy couple scheme everyone saw and it's really not easy for me to break up with him. i guess i just don't want you to be there because i know you'd pick a fight and i don't want you hurt, okay? i didn't tell you anything because i know how you would react since we have known each other for quite a while now. i say, looking down at the floor instead of you because i feel so anxious and nervous about your reaction, knowing you would probably either get mad with me for not saying anything or you'd say something about me being dumb. i smile softly, shaking my head at your next comment. well, your lovely assistant said that you're more than able to meet up with her at that time so i don't see any problem there. says, sticking my tongue out back at you just as playfully.

@♡ ashley ♡ a hum follows your words except it falls from my lips, brows furrowing. i don't mean to push you to let me be there, i just..i've known you since we were kids, you're really nervous over a stupid break up. i call out, standing up as i look at you, sighing. i don't know what's wrong between the two of you but i surely know he ain't treating you right, and i don't like that, i really don't. snorts, rolling my eyes at your sudden actions, squinting at you. i dunno, ask my lovely assistent, i bet she can fix the schedule for you. sticks out my tongue at you, playfully

@✧ youngho ✧ i'm sure, really. i promise! watches you as you show that you're impatient, something i haven't seen before from you, surprising me with what you say next, making me just blink at you before i collect myself to answer you, a small smile on my face. johnny, i. i promise it'll be okay. but- but if you want to go, i won't forbid you to come along, okay? if your heart and mind will be at ease if you come along, i won't mind. says and nods my head slowly a few times before laughing out loud when you mutter that after me, clicking my tongue as i decide to tease you. oh? the time doesn't work for you, boss? teases, quirking an eyebrow at you teasingly and playfully.

@♡ ashley ♡ i raise a brow as i see you, obviously understanding you're rather scared over the guy you're meeting, which leaves me more than worried. ash, are you sure? i decide to call out, tapping my fingers on the table quietly for a moment, showing i am impatient. i mean, i know he for sure can't do anything to me, you know? i wouldn't allow it, im worried for you because i can't do anything if im not around. i can stay in the car, i just really want to make sure you're safe because honestly if something happens to you i'll lose my . no joke. i end up calling out, leaning back on my comfortable chair hoping i don't sound too pissed off seeing m mind is busy mad with the thoughts. at five thirty i mutter, nodding my head slowly at how organized you are, making me chuckle and shake my head slowly

@✧ youngho ✧ /takes a deep breath as you ask me if i want you to accompany me to break off things with my boyfriend, thinking over it just for a split second before shaking my head lightly, putting on a small smile on my face - there will be drama from his side, but i wouldn't want to drag my precious friend and boss into it, in the end, he didn't have to get hurt./ no, it's okay! i'll be quick, i promise! /i say with much enthusiasm, hoping you won't see through me and that you won't try to chase after me when i go to break up with my boyfriend./ hm, okay. i'll be home at 5, so you could pick me up at 5:30? it won't take me long to change. /says, smiling back at you before chuckling softly as i realize how soft you're looking, melting my heart completely./

@♡ ashley ♡ /my eyes quickly meet your sillouette, making me smile softly as i amusedly listen to you/ oh really? /i ask softly, tilting my head in amusement. your rosy cheeks making me chuckle softly, thinking how cute you actually are which reminds me just how much i love you. your answer suddenly gets me serious, surprised with your bold words/ do you want me to accompany you through whateber that thing is? /i ask, suddenly curious on what that task may be, wondering just what you'll be up to seeing you seem quite nervous for whatever it is./ i can pick you up wherever you want, i insist we have a proper date /i hum, resting my chin on my palm just to smile softly at you, honestly not bothering to hide what i feel anymore seeing i've done it for long enough, the idea of me being able to take ccare of you better than your current boyfriend flying around my head

@✧ youngho ✧ /walks into your office once i hear you say 'come in', trying to keep a straight and serious expression on my face for as long as i can, sliding the envelope on your work desk, a small smile on my face/ i got this from someone. and i thought it would be nice to if you could give it back to that someone, for me. /says, acting as if you're not the person who gave that to me, but the blush on my cheeks gives it away, pretty much/ i uh, although i wrote it in the small reply, i would love to go watch that movie with you, Johnny. i do need to do something before we go watch that movie tomorrow, though. /says and nods lightly, swallowing the lump in my throat as i fear for the worst, thinking of what could possibly happen when i break things off with my boyfriend at the time/ will we meet here or at the cinema? /asks, tilting my head to the side as i watch you with a curious expression on my face, wanting to get my mind and thoughts straight and off of the terrible things that might happen tonight when i confront my boyfriend after work./

@♡ ashley ♡ /my eyes scan your features, seeing your smile i feel the ends of my lips also curving upwards to form a smile, only seeing how cute you are. i slowly shake my head as i see you scribbling, chuckling under my breath and quickly pretending to be working before you notice me. squinting quietly at my laptop, i pretend to be reading something out even though it is off./ come in /i call out once you knock on the door, deciding to focus on work for now just in case you came in with something other than the answer to my invitation, at some point making me wonder if you ever realized my feelings for you or if you're totally oblivious to them, almost sure everyone knew about my big fat crush on you by the way i treated you, even my parents who were actually approving of it.

@✧ youngho ✧ /smiles back at you, admiring your kindness and friendship, seeing it as you're my boss and yet you're still willing to be seen by other directors and company workers carrying lunch for your secretary, a mere worker. opens the envelope after a moment or two of contemplating to open it or not, reading over the text with a soft smile on my face, chuckling under my breath at the last line, shaking my head lightly at the signature, so typically you and so adorable that it hurts my heart. gets my pink heart sticky notes pad, scribbling the answer "i would rather watch that movie i want to watch. and getting off work early sounds so tempting pfft. - shiny Ash" with my favorite yellow pen while adding a small hand drawn, slightly messy star behind my signature, keeping the letter from "the secret admirer" to myself and instead putting my answer into the envelope, getting up from my chair to go to your office, knocking on the door a few times gently and loudly enough for you to hear/

@♡ ashley ♡ i just took them because it was on the way here anyway, it's no big deal so don't worry. /i comment softly, showing off the softest smile to you as i honestly don't mind doing such thing seeing i'm helping out in some sort of way, not giving a single damn about what the other directors thought over it since once again, it was nothing much. i sit myself down, peeking at you from the glass door as you open the envelope, wondering what your reaction will be to finding ''this is not johnny or anything but i got tickets for that movie you wanted to watch, tomorrow, shall we get off work early? it's either that or you're getting another week off, to be you ha. - NOT johnny c: ''

@✧ youngho ✧ /looks up at you once you come back and rest that pile of documents on the top of my table, scrunching my nose slightly when you tell me that, shaking my head lightly before chuckling under my breath/ I'm sorry you had to do that, I swear I will kill them when I see them. Making my boss do my chores for me, pssssh- /shakes my head once again in playful distaste, tilting my head to the side when you say I have a secret admirer/ Huh? What? /blinks, groaning at you playfully when you pat my head gently, looking down at the small envelope once you leave for your office, confused as to who this secret admirer is and what is inside the envelope, slightly scared to open it/

@♡ ashley ♡ /I finally come back, yawning and shaking my head. stopping by your desk, i rest a small pile of documents/ your fellow secretaries asked me to drop this off for you, I am guessing thays some sort of you thing so I have no idea what the heck this is. also you have a secret admirer / I hum, taking a small envelop out of my paste, shrugging./ geez bitna you in everyone's mouths these days I swear to God/snorts, moving into my office after patting your head gently

@✧ youngho ✧ /laughs softly and just nods my head lightly a few times when you squint and wiggle your index finger at me, bowing playfully as you leave for the meeting, following you out of your office to sit at my desk, doing some work and re-scheduling as there have been a few changes, making sure to update your work schedule and forwarding it to you by email, sitting back for a moment as I look at the clock, estimating there is only half an hour or something like that before the meeting is over and you're back/

@♡ ashley ♡ /I was about to leave the office until I heard you apologizing which has me turning on my heel, squinting playfully at you and wiggling my index finger up and down a couple times/ stop apologizing bitna /I comment, sternly yet softly, knowing none of it was your fault anyway. I then, quickly turn back to the elevator and disappear, into the meeting that doesnt take much longer than the said hour and half.

@✧ youngho ✧ /munches on a few more nuggets before you come by to say that, laughing softly before I nod my head a few times lightly and slowly, squinting at you playfully/ I am a big girl and I can handle being alone for an hour and a half. I think. /says at the end, teasing you as I chuckle softly, waving both hands at you gently/ Now go go, you wouldn't want to be late for the meeting, boss! /offers a bright smile and both thumbs up for your meeting to go well before grabbing another nugget to munch on happily/ Oh, and thank you for these. And sorry once again. /apologizes once more before nodding lightly, shooing you away playfully to the meeting/

@♡ ashley ♡ /a snort comes from my nose as I hear you squeal over the box, finding your actions adorable even though quite silly. I casually get back to work once I see you munching on a nugget, finding myself happy with just that. I purse my lips as I peek at the clock, sighing as I have a meeting soon, gathering a couple files that I managed to finish before getting up and walking out of my office/I'll be back in around an hour and half, can you handle yourself? / I ask, peeking down at you

@✧ youngho ✧ /moves my left hand to get a sticky note because there had been a change in the time for one of the meetings that is in three weeks for now, deciding to write it down before updating the schedule right away, in case something were to change until then, my elbow bumping into something kind of soft but kind of hard at the same time, making me let out a quiet and small squeal, looking down at my table to see what it is/ Hm? What is this? /I mumble to myself, leaning down to read the sticky note that had been stuck to the small box, laughing softly at the content written on the sticky note, shaking my head lightly at how silly but adorable you were with the cute little message, always managing to make me smile, opening the box to chew on one while I write on the sticky note, shaking my head lightly once again because I can't get you and your adorable smile out of my mind, not wanting to look up to check what you are doing because I would get embarrassed, with cheeks this shade of red/

@♡ ashley ♡ /I find myself in your favorite place once you leave for lunch. my own words running through my head as I wonder if you caught up on the fact I liked you but quickly shaking my head and telling myself you didnt just so I could relax. I order a burger for myself, feeling like I'm already having a hard day and i deserved something to keep my mind off problems. i am not surprised to see I'm the first to return to the office, actually happy since i had brought a small thing with me. i place the box on your desk, with one of your heart shaped colored sticky notes glued to it saying "a nugget a day makes your cute cheeks slay. and since you havent eaten one a day I brought you 10. dont share them or your cheeks will cry" making me sound childish but at the same time, I really dont care, seeing that's how our friendship had always worked. I seat myself on my chair and get back into work, peeking at your desk from time to time to see if you arrived only to pay full attention when I see you came back from lunch, wanting to see your reaction, hoping it would cheer you up.

@✧ youngho ✧ /frowns slightly as I hear you saying that, getting worried myself now that you have told me all of this stuff, not sure why you are begging me to think and make decisions on my own, but I nod my head lightly before bowing one last time before I get out of your office, getting my stuff and talking my boyfriend into calming down over the "rude treatment" he got from "my damn no-good boss", still feeling sorry because you had to witness him making a scene out of me simply being a few minutes late to our meeting place, still frowning over the words you have told me, not being able to forget at all, throughout the course of the date he had planned, of course being away from the table half the time because he had business calls to attend to. and before I know it, lunch is over and I'm on my way back to my work desk, sighing softly to myself as I set down my belongings, logging back into the account on the computer, checking for new emails or maybe even notices, trying to get my thoughts off of the words you have told me, replying in my mind all the time since I left your office/

@♡ ashley ♡ /a loud sigh escapes my lips as I shake my head slowly./ that is not how you treat someone you love, bitna /I call out, very worried over the facr he may actually be doing stuff to yiu and you not realizing it. it has me worrying and shaking my head slowly /look, I dont want to worry you or anything but please open your eyes, take time for yourself and come up with your decisions, he really doesnt seem the type of person to get better throughout the years. please be careful /I almost beg as you walk towards the door, shaking my head as I disapprove of this relationship, calling out cliche at how I know I could treat you a thousand times better, if not more

@✧ youngho ✧ /blinks as you take my hand away, exhaling as you take a few steps closer to my boyfriend, fearing the worst - that he will flip and go mad as he usually does when something doesn't suit him or when he has to wait to get something - which is me in this situation, since I am a bit late to the agreement that I will meet him down in the lobby in five minutes. but of course, talking to you took a bit longer, and that made him angry because he isn't one who likes to wait, at all. I listen to you talking to him, wincing a bit as you have to call security, shaking my head lightly once you ask me that/ He doesn't, he just gets mad and makes a scene if he has to wait. Because he is busy most of the time. So when we spend time together it's, I guess, wasting his precious time when I'm late - he gets really angry. I should go. I'm sorry he's causing a scene, and I'm apologizing in his name because I know he won't apologize to you. /I say, nodding my head lightly, bowing politely before making my way to the door of your office/

@♡ ashley ♡ /my patience is dripping, seeing the Male doesnt move a single inch. I exhale loudly, carefully taking your hand away and forcing myself to take a couple steps towards the male/ how is it gonna be? are you gonna wait on the lobby or am I going to have to restrict your entrance? /I speak in a not so inviting tone, quite mad that he doesnt follow the orders I have given out, not wanting to touch him in case he decides to flip. I give him a couple seconds before I roll my eyes and reach for the phone on your desk, calling security up to our floor, having you walk back inside my office and closing the door behind me/ are you sure he doesn't mistreat you? /I ask, very concerned as I'm waiting for security to take him away

@✧ youngho ✧ As long as you say that I am doing a good job, I know I am really doing a good job. That is all I need to know that I am a good secretary and that I am good at what I am doing. /says, nodding my head lightly at you before chuckling softly/ I know that, I am just pulling at your leg, boss. /gasps softly when you turn to me and step aside to show me who is standing at the door, realizing that it is my boyfriend, panicking on the inside instantly, knowing that there will be drama involved if he is in question, placing my hand on your upper arm gently, to make you move out of the way so I can handle the situation on my own, already getting embarrassed because of what he is doing/ I told you I would be down in five minutes, you did not have to come right up. /I say from behind you, trying to at least soften the blow and trying to avoid him getting angry and exploding right here, at my work place/

@♡ ashley ♡ /I shake my head slowly at you/ you really need to learn how to appreciate yourself more. you're a great employee so shush. hm you know I wouldnt touch you with a single finger, miss /I snort. shaking my head again as you seem to have loosened up a bit which is great seeing what happened this morning which honestly will have me talking to their bosses to avert them from speaking it out again. I slowly turn to you, stepping aside do show you your boyfriend/ as much as I'm being comprehensive, this sir needs to understand that this is a working place. that being said, he should not have come up, especially without an authorization card. and I dont see any on him which means he broke in /I calmly lay out the problem, stepping in front of you again afraid hed do something /so I'm asking you to please leave before I call the cops. you can wait downstairs on the lobby, thays what that place was designed for /I once again force a smile, being sarcastic to the Male

@✧ youngho ✧ You know, have to keep it professional and things like that. /I call out to you, teasing you only a bit more before nodding lightly/ I can't promise you anything, but I will try my best not to let people push me around. /says, nodding before looking away for a moment, laughing softly as you confirm that I am the best secretary, shaking my head in the end/ Oh, don't flatter me, boss! I was just joking. /blushes a bit more as I nod once you say that I should give myself more credit, only humming in response/ You wouldn't smack me, don't even try to fool me! /squints playfully before chuckling as I shake my head lightly, knowing that that is highly unlikely to happen with you/ What is happening? Is something wrong? /asks as you talk to the person, afraid that something is wrong, wanting to help as best as I can, but I can't do anything until I know what's happening and who's standing at the door/ Is it the delivery guy? I told him that he can deliver the documents tomorrow morning since he forgot to today. /bites into my lower lip, a worried expression on my face/

@♡ ashley ♡ geez took you that much to start laughing, bitna you really need to stop letting people push you around, hm? stand up for yourself. /I nod firmly, crossing my arms/ i know it's hard at first but you need to do it, okay? you'll feel good once you done it, i promise. /smiles softly as i hear you laugh, finding my heart fluttering easily with that simple action of yours/ you bet I have the best secretary ever, shes always so responsible and attentive to small details. /I coo out before smiling sofriy at you/ give yourself some more credit, hm? you're amazing and I'll freaking smack whoever says you ain't. dont make me smack you! /calls out playfully. I end up scoffing as I hear him saying he was here to meet his girlfriend / sir, as much as I want to understand your position, you're inside a corporation to which you are not an employee of, that said, you have trespassed private property and I could easily report that to the police so I'll ask you to leave before I scour you out /I calmly speak, showing off a forced smile and pointing towards the elevator.
