GIVEN OR TAKEN [1/2]
SUMMARY: It's time for Yang & Co.'s CEO to retire, and Jungwon, his son, thinks he has the successor role in the bag. Unfortunately for him, he'll only be able to take over if he not only secures the company's biggest deal to date, but also proves himself a better choice than you, the one other person his father considers fit for the coveted title, and, to his dismay, his partner on the case.
WARNINGS: enemies to lovers, f!reader, jungwon is reader's biggest hater, LOTS of arguing esp at the beginning, dramatic irony, slowburn, Jake catches some strays, revelations (more than one), dual POV, it’s Mr Yang’s world we’re just living in it WC: 14.7k - MASTERLIST
a/n: didn't want to split this into two parts but if i don't post at least some of it now, then it'd never get finished. apologies for any inaccuracies regarding business/legal jargon & happy reading!!

Anyone who has ever worked alongside Jungwon would say he is one of the best, if not the best, out there. And why wouldn’t he be? His father, the CEO and founder of Yang & Co., has instilled in him the values and expectations of a successful businessman since day one.
He was taught everything he’d need to know, all in the hopes of being named the company's successor when the time came. Or at least, that’s what Jungwon had assumed his whole life.
Perhaps he should have also taken to heart another message his dad had taught him: never assume things, because it puts the ass in you and me.
“Let me get this straight. You are not going to appoint me as the CEO once you retire.”
