"Hyunjin... Let's forget everything that happened between us today." Felix then said

The look in Hyunjins eyes saddened as his expression turned into a frown. He didn't want to believe that what he heard was right, for the first time in his life, he wished that his senses decieved him.

Both of them stayed silent for a minute until Hyunjin finally spoke: "...Why? Did I, do something wrong? Did I rush things?"

"No, it's not you who did anything wrong. It's me. I kissed you first, I'm sorry. I don't know what took over me, I guess I was so jealous to the point that I wanted to claim you as mine? I'm not sure of it myself." Felix nervously laughed at the end of his sentence

"Don't apologize, because your lips are something I've been craving ever since we met. But Felix, how could I forget what happened over night? Do you know how you make me feel when I'm around you? You're basically torturing me right now." Hyunjin replied, a frown still present on his face

"Look, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, I'm being a fool. I don't even know what the fuck I'm doing. This is all wrong Hyunjin. Don't you see it too, or is it just me?"

"In what way is it wrong? I'm assuming that you don't feel the same way I do and that you feel guilty for it? Don't be. It's alright." The tone in Hyunjins voice got lower as he talked, hinting the sadness behind it

"It's not that I don't feel the same way. The problem is that, I do feel the same way." Felix sighed

"How is that a problem then? If we both feel the same way, what's there to be wrong?"

"Our jobs and your reputation to the public. You see, you're my boss and many would say how you hired me to be your slut or something which will drain your reputation down drastically. I'm literally a nobody Hyunjin, you need someone who's similar to yourself. Someone better. That someone isn't me." Felix turned to look at Hyunjin trying his best to keep a straight face

Hyunjin took a moment to think, his answer to Felix's statement is what their future depended on. "Felix, what you said is true. Many would start rumors and articles, that's also true. But would I care? Absolutely not, not even a single bit. Having you by my side is all I want, and if I can have that, I don't need anything else. However, if it's my reputation that you're worried for... We could always keep our relationship a secret. It's not like we'd be doing anything wrong anyway." Hyunjin placed his hand on Felix's in attempt to reassure him

"I promise you, that you have nothing to worry about. And even if you reject me now, just know that I'll never give up on you." Hyunjin then reached his hand out to wipe Felix's tears off

"But there's always a risk that someone will figure out, I don't know if I can take that. Especially not the hurtful words they might say to me." Felix replied

"As I said, you have nothing to worry about if you tell me one thing... Felix, do you like me?"

Felix hesitated for a moment, but nodded. "I do, I like you a lot."

Hyunjin smiled. "I feel the same way. But since you worry so much, I'll make sure to keep you safe from everything bad okay?"

Felix smiled back. "Promise?"

"I promise."

Earlier that day...

"God from how much I ate, it feels like I'm carrying a baby inside me." - said Jisung as he placed both of his hands on his stomach leaning his back onto the chair
