How To Make Him Fall

7

"Supervisor-nim?"

"Yes?" Seungwan knows who he is; she doesn't even need to look up to see who is coming and calling her like this.

And as usual, Jongin with his dumb smile is there. But now he isn't alone. He brings a green teddy bear. "This is for you. To cheer you up."

Seungwan blinks and smiles. Jongin is such an innocent being and it is cute for him to do things like this.

Seungwan has been down lately. Of course, the source is none other than Park Chanyeol. They have been in romantic relationship for one week, but he never really asks her to go out together (read: date) or calls her in spontaneous manner. It is like a scheduled call; he will call at her break time for couple minutes, then call her again when they are about to go to sleep. Seungwan sometimes remembers this is part of a bet and part of him learning to love someone again, so she should be fine with the condition, but she knows she can't be just fine with it.

She wants more. She needs more.

She needs real boyfriend. Not robot boyfriend.

She still loves him this deep even it has been years since she knows what love is, and by the way, he is the key of making her knew what love is in the first place.

It is not just for a bet for Seungwan anymore; she needs to fight for her love and she has to do it, but how? Chanyeol is like drawing 'border' in their relationship, as if he can't accept Seungwan wholeheartedly, which is, well, fine, probably, for his condition, but not for Seungwan's.

"You don't like teddy bear, Supervisor-nim?" Jongin sounds sad when Seungwan wasn't that excited to see the bear earlier. Seungwan notices it and she gets up to take the bear, "not at all! I like teddy bears! Thank you so much, Jongin-sshi!"

"That's my supervisor!" He smiles wildly. He knows too he can't ask much about Seungwan-Chanyeol unless the girl is willingly telling it to him. So far, all he knows is that Chanyeol is super rigid in the relationship and the identity of the woman before is still unknown. Seungwan never asks him, though, and Chanyeol obviously will not tell her anything regarding about the secret lady. Sometimes Jongin wants to march to Chanyeol's restaurant and pours a glass of iced tea into his face to make his eyes open widely.

Seungwan is a nice, caring, loving, and beautiful girl. Why can't that giant tall pole human being see it?

"Jongin?"

"Yes, Supervisor-nim?"

"How are you with Kang Seulgi-sshi?"

"We are working the things out. I mean, I try to be more organized and she tries to shut her sense a bit more regarding to my mess," he smiles, "although I must say, she looks a bit older nowadays. She must hold it too much."

Seungwan replies the smile as she remembers the sadness she saw when Jongin told her about her ex-girlfriend in Seulgi's face. "Hey, how long have you been friends?"

"Since we were toddlers, I guess. Why?"

"Does she have boyfriends?"

"...Rarely. She rarely tells me regarding that department. We are friends but we never talks a lot about our respective love lives."

"...I see."

"Is something wrong in our relationship, Supervisor-nim?" Jongin asks and Seungwan blinks several times. For someone that oblivious, Jongin can be too sensitive sometimes. "No. I just want to know more, since both of you are those who want to talk to me at personal level."

"None of these people talk to you? Really? You must be feeling lonely, Supervisor-nim."

"Nah. I am fine with it. These cubicles help to reduce our chit-chat time, too." She then looks to the clock at her desk, "this isn't break time. Don't you have work? Your manager can get angry if you leave leisurely like this!"
