I just checked my calendar and I think you're confused. I'm pretty sure you're looking for Boyoung noona.

Dear Namjoon,
The fuck. What happened with the meeting being at 4:00? It’s barely midday, dude.
Regards,
a very confused and tired Min Yoongi (already feeling the effects of the management audit from corporative that we’re having in three days so I'm stressed and Jimin-starved because HR is having their own audit too and I haven't seen him in AGES. Please contact my boss for further naggings and not me. I swear I didn't do anything wrong, and I promise the audit won’t blow up because of me, but I blame Jungkook and Taehyung in case it does because they’re once again late with the paperwork they should give me. By the way, the thing about expanding the budget of HR without authorization for Jimin to get a decent coffee machine was a joke. Though we should definitely change the shitty coffee machine from HR because Jimin really hates that coffee and I really hate the things Jimin hates, and there shouldn’t even be things for Jimin to hate because Jimin deserves to be happy every second of his existence).

Dear Yoongi,
It’s an emergency.
Please refrain from involving Boyoung-ssi in this. I’m contacting you, not her.
Sincerely,
Kim Namjoon. Assistant Manager.
P.S.: Hadn't we agreed to keep emails professionals after your problem with HR? Jimin would hate having to prepare another violation form for you.

Namjoon,
Boyoung nonna is my department supervisor. Why wouldn’t she be involved if there’s an emergency…?
Regards,
Min Yoongi. Staff Accountant.
P.S.: Everything's under control. I was right here during the Jungkook's and Taehyung's drama. Emails were my way to guide Jungkook to the path of love an acceptance.
P.S. 2: Also, you ignored that I told you that I’m tired and stressed. Fuck you. I should be finishing filing the invoices from last month not here answering your cryptic emails.

P.S.: Sorry, you what? You told me you've helped Jungkook through texts! Aren't you scared of HR??
P.S. 2: What do you mean with that of finishing filing some invoices? Your department has an auditory in three days, and you aren’t ready for that yet??

Namjoon,
I won’t go to your office, dumbass. I'm flooded with work and also too scared of Boyoung noona since she’s definitely more stressed than me with all the audit thing.
Whatever weird thing you have to tell me, which probably isn’t as bad as that time Taehyung and Jungkook almost tricked Seokjin in organizing a "bonding teammate trip" to Las Vegas because they wanted to get married in a country where gay marriage is legal and using the company's money for that before we reminded them that Las Vegas is too fucking far away from here and that they had just started dating like a month ago and one of them still squeals every time the guys from other offices asked the other out unknowingly that he has a boyfriend now cause, you know, Taehyung's and Jungkook's dynamic is still pretty much the same of before with the bonus that they now hide on the storage room to make out and not only to avoid giving me their damn purchase reports that are ALWAYS late anyways. And I mean, why they were even thinking on getting married if they can't solve the thing with insecurity first? Aren't couples supposed to be okay between them before doing that? Not that is an universal rule because sure, relationships work different for everyone, but isn't it the decent thing to do? Like, for example, only if Jimin and I are alright, we can get married then. Which we are, by the way. We're fine. Cool. In love. Though that doesn't mean that I've thought on proposing to Jimin before because I'm too broke to afford a wedding. Wait, no. I'm not broke. I have like, a good salary, I guess. But weddings are expensive. Though Jimin wants to get married on the beach close to his house at Busan, so that would save us the venue rent. So yeah, I'm simply not considering getting married with Jimin yet because I hadn't thought on that before, actually. Which might not be a bad idea, right? Jimin already moved to my apartment last month, and that's a big step.
Sorry, I rambled a bit. But yes, whatever thing you have to tell me, I'm sure we can solve it through here. Embrace technology, Namjoon-ah. It'll suck the life out of you faster, and retirement won't come soon because of that, but at least it allows you to watch the cute video of a chick and a bunny playing together that Jimin sent to you to relax from the management audit and to work in a stupidly big pivot table in Excel at the same time.
Regards,
Min Yoongi. Staff Accountant.
P.S.: When are you free to come to Busan for a weekend?

Dear liar-Namjoon,
Yes, I'm busy. But that doesn't mean I won't drag finishing this Excel report the much I can until Boyoung noona notices it because I really don't want to file those invoices.
And what is even this, uh? It's clear that you want to tell me something, but it doesn't have anything to do with the audit or anything serious cause unless you'd have already mentioned it.
Just finish with this and try to keep it short cause having my screen divided in three windows is kinda annoying and I bet neither you nor Boyoung noona want me to make a mess of what I’m working on.
Sincerely,
Min Yoongi. Staff Accountant.

Which I can see that you do.

Yeah, no shit, Joon-ah. You two have been dating for like, years. High school sweethearts, right? Besides, Hoseok is the kind of people who can’t just keep anything from himself and it’s so affectionate. Just a couple of days ago he told Jimin the same thing because he brought him some of his tangerine cookies. And I’m almost sure he told me that he loved me that time I helped him print some flyers after the printer at his office ran out of ink. So, yeah, maybe the context in which Hoseok told you that he loves you is enough weird to want to tell me, but couldn’t it wait until our break?
If you don’t mind, if it’s only you wanting to gush about Hoseok telling you that he loves you, can we talk about that later? If it’s not that urgent. I have to go back to my work before Boyoung noona decides to kill me or fire me or whatever. I need to be alive and working on this office to see Jimin during most part of my day.

We’re innocent! We swear we’re getting ready for that audit our department has next week! Right now, we’re definitely finishing our paperwork like Minju noona asked us to. Like, we’re totally on it.
And we’re planning on drinking lots of coffee to stay awake because we’ve been working like crazies at the archive room since yesterday. That’s why you will maybe find us a bit disheveled in case you decide to pay us a visit. Yup. Only that.

Dear Namjoon hyung,
Sorry. It’s hard not to want to kiss Taehyung everywhere when I’ve been pinning for so long. But we’ll be more careful from now on, so you won’t hear of us doing so.
Talking about that, can we get our fingerprints registered on the archive room lock system? In that way it would be easier to go there without having to ask Minju noona to accompany us every time we must open the door.

I don’t think there’s something “right” or “wrong” when it comes to that stuff. We all have our own pace for things and our own way to express them, hyung.
You didn’t have to catch feelings for me at the same time that I did for you, and neither the first time you met me for it to be sincere. I love you and you love me, and we both know it now and that’s enough.
Please don’t ever dismiss your process by calling yourself dumb, hyung. You aren’t dumb.

Clarifying for Namjoon hyung who is still here and from whom I hadn’t completely forgotten about: kiss Jungkook in a very metaphorical and fictional way because we’re at work and we don’t want to get fired.
Wait. If Namjoon hyung inadvertently caused my confession to happen, does that actually turns him into a better Cupid than Yoongi hyung?

Due to the scheduled management audit, I’m currently unable to contact you since I was asked to visit the corporative headquarters in the city. I’ll return to the office at 6:00 P.M. and give you an answer to your email as soon as I can.
In cases of emergency, please contact my assistant Park Jimin, or the General Affairs Director, Yoon Yejin and her assistant, Jung Hoseok.

As you may know, Seokjin-ssi was called to the headquarters of the corporative today, so we’re very busy without him. Can we make the meeting happen until 5:00? I think the audit would’ve finished by then.
By the way, is this about Jungkook and Taehyung? If that's the case, don't worry about them. I asked Hoseok to help me with them today. Everythnig is already sorted, Namjoon-ssi!

It’s been more than three hours. Care to share what’s actually on your mind?
Regards,
Min Yoongi. Staff Accountant.
P.S.: Yes, I’m still copying and pasting this same message until I get a reply from you because I’m worried but Boyoung noona refuses to let us out from the office until I finish my work and that pile of invoices is not getting any shorter no matter how MUCH I try.
P.S. 2: If you’re sending these to your spam folder, I hate you.

I almost started crying when I saw your name on the mailbox. I missed you so much, Namjoon-ah TT I'm sorry for being a jerk earlier when it was obvious you wanted to tell me something imprtant.
So, what’s going on with you for real? Are you anxious because this is your first management audit being an assistant manager? I’m sure there’s still time to lock Taehyung and Jungkook somewhere if you think they’ll cause you trouble. Hoseok can help us with that. You know that he’s better than me in finding them and making them get into reason.

I already told you that Hoseok told me that he loves me.
Which yes, it hadn’t happened before no matter if we’ve been dating for years. And yes, that’s my current problem asides the fact that I just spoke to Taehyung and Jungkook and yes, I’m also worried of what they’re even doing right now.
You don’t really get it, hyung. Hoseok is my first and only boyfriend ever, and I’m sure I’ve never felt like this for anyone else, but to the point of calling it love? What is even love? I grew up watching movies and listening to songs that conceptualize love as this unstoppable force that basically changes the world for people and makes them give everything for their significant other. But it’s something like that even real or are we instead under the effects of all that representation and that’s what makes us believe something like that exists?
Hoseok says that he loves me, and I believe him because he wouldn’t lie to me in that way and I get that with that he means he feels something strong for me, but what if I can’t ever love him back because I can’t even feel that much for someone to call it love? Because I can’t even begin to comprehend the concept of love itself? But like, romantic love. I’m sure I love my family and my friends, and I’m sure they love me back. But romantically? How can someone feel even more than the normal love for a person? Don’t you think there’s too much pressure to make that affection different to the others when at the end of the day we’re simply having these super positive feelings towards someone that’s special for us?
Does thinking like that even make sense?

I didn’t want to leave you for a long time waiting for an answer, so I sent the first thing that came to my mind. But this is what I really think after processing everything:
Joon-ah, of course that what you think and how you feel does make sense and it’s valid. If you think you can’t romantically love people or you don’t do it or see it in a way others do, there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s different for each of us, remember? I mean, usually people don’t consider it very normal for men to like men or women to like women, or people to like both. You know there’re also some who don’t like neither. And that’s fine. It won’t change who you are or how Hoseok feels towards you.

I’m not scared of that, hyung. I think it’s more as this is something I’ve been wanting to avoid for a while and now it feels as if I can’t escape from it because Hoseok gave that step now.
You should’ve seen the way Hoseok looked at me waiting for me to say it back. It broke my heart and I think I broke his too.
I haven’t been able to speak to him in the entire day because of that.

I can sense something very wrong on that, but yeah, I get it.
Though if you said that Hoseok’s reaction affects you and that reaction had something to do with the fact that you’ve been avoiding having this conversation with him, don’t you think the first step is talking to Hoseok about it? You don’t have to tell him anything you aren’t sure about, or you aren’t comfortable with, but maybe giving him a heads-up about the general situation would be helpful for him, especially considering you two are the ones in a relationship together and those titles, though not meaning that others can’t care about you or love you, do imply that these kinds of things involve the two of you the most because it’s something that has a direct impact on both of you.
I doubt Hoseok wants you to feel bad about this, Joon. And I’m sure he’ll be very open to whatever you decide to share with him.
Also, I know it might not be very useful because it’s easier said than done, but don’t put so much pressure over your shoulders on this kind of topics. It’s something we might try to have it figure out immediately because it’s related to our identity, but if it’s worrying you so much, I think it’s better to act instead in a way we’re comfortable with no matter our labels. We’re us first than anything else.

Hyung, remember how I couldn’t believe you at the beginning when you said you loved Jimin? It was in part because of this. Seeing you seemingly falling in love so hard with someone so fast seemed insane for me when it’s difficult to see myself doing the same with someone whom I’ve been together for so long and whom I trust and value so much. I know I want to be with Hoseok and kiss him and make him laugh and smile. And I like him so much, and I gush when he bakes for me, and I know there’s something different about being with him than being with anyone else, but I don’t know if that’s love is enough to be called romantic love when the concept of it it’s something I can’t understand someone can even feel. I’m scared it won’t ever be no matter how hard I want that.

You’re an ass, hyung.
But yeah, thank you so much for this. I was kinda freaking out, to be honest. I even recurred to others to see if what I wasn’t crazy for thinking like that lol. Taehyung and Jungkook weren’t as unhelpful as I initially thought now that I think on what they said (except for the parts in which they tried to cover the fact that they’re definitely using the archive room to make out and not doing what Minju asked them to), but Jimin and Seokjin were too busy to help me with anything. Don’t blame them though.
I still have a lot to think about this, but you’re right, I should try talking to Hoseok because he deserves to know this after everything he's done for me. He’ll understand it too. I know him.

Dear Taehyung-ssi and Jungkook-ssi,
As requested by Jimin, I expect both of you at my office today at 5:30 P.M. to discuss some further details regarding your behavior in the office (a spoiler about it: guys, can you please stop using the archive room to kiss? Yeah, there weren’t cameras on it before, but we installed them a month ago).
Please be on time and refrain from hiding at other floors’ offices (I already told the guys from the Law Firm not to let you in). I can’t be running around chasing you two when there’s a management audit today. Namjoon would probably go crazy about that too, and he’s already enough stressed (and that’s my fault and I feel awful hahaha).

For God’s sake. It’s seriously not funny. We’re just trying to peacefully go on with our day and Minju noona is already being an obstacle to that because she keeps asking us for documents that we have no idea where they are of if they even like, are in this office. And now Yoongi hyung is behind our a**** too because for some reason he can like, read minds, and knew we weren’t precisely working on our paperwork before.
Can’t management audits just like, stop existing? They feel like tests. And I hated tests at college. Tests are a very poor and unnecessary way to measure someone’s knowledge. Like, how could we evaluate what someone learns on a course over months by answering questions on a paper during an hour? How are all our efforts, dedication, and countless nights staying awake reviewing topics reduced to a single moment? It’s that like a sick way to prepare us to the fact that societies focus only on the “results” we can offer them as productive machines and completely ignore who and what we are thus making us nameless gears that don’t have the change to ever get stuck? And why are we even getting prepared to follow that absurdly cold and fast-lived system instead of being taught how to make the world a better place like all that bullshit our teachers tell us on kindergarten?

So, what my boyfriend meant with that was: go away!!! I don’t know since when you and Namjoon hyung think it’s funny to trick people into making them think that they have a meeting to stress them out when they’re already pretty much stressed out, but that’s a very mean sense of humor and I’m too sensitive to tolerate it.

Yes, I meant that. Which shouldn’t be weird, right? But Namjoon is acting weird about it, and I should’ve expected because Namjoon always acts in that way when others talk about things like that. I can see that he doesn’t particularly enjoy those topics. Like, romantic topics. That was a whole strange thing for me when we started dating, but I thought he was only shy at first. Then, reserved. Then, too quiet to care about those topics. But for a while I've been thinking it might be something else.
The first time I baked cookies for him I was scared that he’d react the same, but he didn’t, and I guess I took a lot of things from granted since then and told myself I was just reading too much between lines. Like buying him more gifts, getting him flowers for our dates, and I even suggested adopting a puppy together! Namjoon was fine with all of those, but I think I ruined it now.
I should’ve warned him about it, shouldn’t I? Like when I baked for him and asked him beforehand which were his favorite cookie flavor and if he was craving for some. If I knew there was the chance of making him uncomfortable, I should’ve done it differently, not just splutter it in the middle of dinner because the thought of Namjoon being so endearing and kind and smart and perfect crossed my mind when I saw him smiling after biting a piece of greasy spicy chicken.
It’s always been hard to control my mouth from saying stuff, but I should’ve tried harder this time. I’ve always been able to resist the urge to say it before. What's wrong with me?

You’re not a bad person, hyung. I think on telling Taehyung that I love him even when he wakes up with drool all over his face, and I get what you mean with not being able to hold that back. There’s nothing wrong in saying out loud how we feel. It’s something good and necessary, actually. Things can get ugly when we don’t. I know that firsthand, so don’t ever feel guilty about saying how you feel out loud. As long as you don’t do it on purpose to hurt someone (which I can get you didn’t even if you were aware of whatever Namjoon has going on), that’s okay.
But I can’t understand the rest. There’re some people like that, I guess? Not everyone is in for the romantic stuff and that isn’t something bad. Or maybe Namjoon hyung isn’t ready to tell you that he loves you back?

Okay I just read everything, and I can see that Hoseok is sad and who cares about the office rules when he’s sad.
Even though I agree with what Jungkook told Hoseok, I also agree with Taehyung. Hoseok might have not acted with the intention of hurting Namjoon or making him feel uncomfortable, but he was aware that there could be a not-so enjoyable reaction from Namjoon considering his past experiences, especially if he acted so out of the blue, which could have taken Namjoon off guard, so you have to take responsibility on that too. Both statements can coexist and that doesn’t mean Hoseok is guilty or a bad person. If anything, it only emphasizes that communication, as in any other relationship, takes a very important role on your interactions.
The stability of your relationship with Namjoon shouldn’t be based on you behaving like walking over eggshells all the time around Namjoon when you want to express your feelings for him, and neither for Namjoon to be on guard expecting when you’re going to do something that might put him on a bad position.

Jimin, I hate you because that was so easy to say for you but it's hard for me to even wrap my head about it. Now I’m sadder because you’re right, but I can’t talk to Namjoon about any of this because he’s avoiding me! And Namjoon is clearly upset, and I don’t want him to be upset:( This whole situation makes me upset, but I care more about Namjoon feeling down or uncomfortable. I’ve always had!
The last thing I wanted was to make him feel bad and that’s why I always tried not to cross those boundaries that we never quite stablished but that I knew they were there anyways.

The fact that you need to have a conversation about this doesn’t mean that Namjoon would be ready for it immediately. It’s been a day, hyung. Let’s don’t pressure him.
When you talk with him, I think clarifying those boundaries that you mention would be something very healthy for you two. Just a suggestion haha.

It’s a good suggestion, Jiminie! Thank you so much for it TT
And also thank you guys for reading my rant. I know you’re busy today. I didn’t mean to cause you any trouble, but this was getting so overwhelming for me.
