The atmosphere was serene except for the steady tap of the blonde's foot against the expensive floor. With each tap, his impatience grew, waiting for the call to be answered. Finally, the ringing ceased, replaced by a voice on the other end.

"Hello, young master. How may I assist you today?" The voice belonged to a middle aged man, his tone exuding professionalism.

Clearing his throat, the blonde spoke with a calm but assertive tone, "I need your help in hiring the best private investigator available. I've already sent an email outlining the specifics. Money isn't an issue; I want every bit of information they can gather."

The man on the other end nodded in agreement, his voice carrying a sense of understanding, "Of course, sir. I'll see to it right away."

With the call concluded, the blonde felt a sense of relief. He slid his phone back into his pocket and stepped out into the cool morning air. His thoughts weren't solely occupied by the investigation; anticipation bubbled within him as he headed to his car to meet his boyfriend.

As he strolled into Yongsan, he was greeted by his classmates as usual. They waved and exchanged greetings as he made his way through the crowd. Adjusting the strap of his bag, casually slung over one shoulder, he slipped a hand into his pocket, retrieving his phone.

With a flick of his thumb, he unlocked the screen and opened his messages app. His inbox was filled with over 120 messages, a flood of notifications from "My love" and his best friends, all curious about his situation in Busan. He made a mental note to check those later and eagerly delved into his boyfriend's message.

His heart skipped a beat as he tapped on the notification, eager to read from the one person who truly mattered to him.
