Kei wakes up early. He sluggishly moves out of the bed where it's warm.
His naked body is full of red and purple marks.
He paused and looked at the full sized mirror. Swipes his hair up and sighs.
His white skin is full of red and purple marks.
"My boyfriend is a mosquito."
he brushes his teeth and washes his face
Still feeling sticky, he went to take a warm bath. When he went back to the room wearing only a bathrobe, Jeremy was already up and talking on his phone with his back to him.
Jeremy looks mature with his broad chest and serious face as he talks to his phone.
Kei sat down on the bed and just looked at him.
Jeremy seems so close yet so far sometimes.
If Jeremy never liked him yet he fell for him? He would probably be in so much pain but he would never be able to express it.
Jeremy gives him so much he deserves and even though he usually shows he doesn't care, he actually has this jar inside his heart full of things Jeremy does for him and it's almost full already.
'I need more jars.'
"Baby." Jeremy turns around and sees Kei sitting on the bed.
He kneeled on the floor and held his hand with his warm smile.
"Did you wait long?"
"Not really. Is there a problem at work?"
"Hmm.Not Really a problem. It's been a long time since Howard resigned but I still can't find a replacement. He is an asset but also a friend so I can't force him to stay but It's really hard without him." He chuckles.
"......What about me?"
"What about you?" Jeremy tilts his head.
"I don't have experience but I'm a fast learner." Kei said seriously.
"Huh?"
Jeremy was looking at him wide eyed.
"Eh? What? Are you applying to be my secretary? Didn't you say you want to slack off all your life?"
"Just say it if you don't trust me." Kei snorts and moves away from him crawling on the bed away from him..
Jeremy watches Kei for a while then also goes to the bed beside Kei.
"Are you…worried about me?"
Kei didn't say anything.
"I really can't just slack off, you know. I still need a job. Why else did I graduate?"
Jeremy smiles and kisses Kei in the mouth but Kei stops him.
"Brush your teeth first." He glares at him.
"Right.." Jeremy happily went to take a bath. If you wash everything, you might get lucky and have morning sex.
But he was also thinking about what Kei said. It's the first time Kei ever asks him to give him work.
He is actually flustered.
"Can we work together without me getting horny?"
The problem is working together might be exhausting to their relationship.
He will be Kei's boss and when things get heated in the workplace, it might affect their love life.
But Kei wants to do it for him.
If he refuses now he will just hurt his feelings and he will never offer again.
Jeremy takes a long bath. No longer thinking about sex. He doesn't want to hurt Kei. Or reject him but many couples work together and when someone is the boss….It always end up as a break up or disinterest!
"It's Kei so we will definitely be able to work it out." But then again there are times female clients are too friendly and when they go drinking for contract signing some even make vulgar moves. Not that he ever had an idea about them but if Kei saw it will he get mad? Will he be able to think about it in a more professional way? Or what if someone put their hands on Kei? Will he be able to stop from killing them?
"I see no merit in this." Jeremy feels defeated.
It's business.
He can't mix relationships in it.
Many employees' livelihoods are at stake.
"Just say it now so you can apologize earlier!" Jeremy decided to tell Kei it's a bad idea.
Kei just ended the call when he saw Jeremy.
"What took you so long?" Kei frowns and looks at Jeremy Stark naked and water dropping all over him with stupid face.
"Kei Listen I…..I think….Who called?"
"You think who called?" Kei rolls his eyes.
"I applied in your company. HR called to tell me the interview date and time."
"Huh? That fast?"
"I applied 3 days ago." Kei glares at him. "I knew it. You think I want to get a position with your help? I'm just saying it now. If I pass,I'll get the position. If I don't then I don't. If you interfere and purposely ask them not to hire me,I'm breaking up with you. And that's not a threat. I'll do it for sure." Kei said staring at Jeremy.
Jeremy stares back at Kei.
"What are you talking about? I can't even think of any reason why I would want to not hire you."
"Liar."
Kei rolls his eyes.
"......."
Jeremy sat down and handed Kei a towel.
Kei helps Jeremy dry his hair and body.
"I don't think being in a relationship and working will be healthy for our relationship. But if you want it this much I will never stop you."
Kei hugs him from behind and kisses his neck.
"Okay. I'll believe you."
Jeremy turns around and hugs Kei.
He feels so stupid worrying so much.
Wasting Kei's kindness, he is really foolish sometimes. Someone as reserved as Kei went out to suggest his help and there he goes thinking how bad an idea it is.
"If I pass, there's no way I'll let you have an office sex just so you know."
Jeremy flinched.
"....make out is fine?"
"Kissing is alright but not with tongue."
Kei.
"........." Jeremy chuckles. "What a torture."
There's no way Kei won't get hired. With his grades, he has been recruited before he graduated especially the place where he OJT'd but that's ofcourse he OJT'd in his father's company.
Eating breakfast with the family feels awkward.
"You actually applied to Settir's company? You traitor." Ark said glaring at Kei.
"You actually sleep with Sir Atlas, you old man." Kei says back and looks at Atlas who is eating beside Ark like he has always been part of the family.
Ark blushes and looks at Atlas.
Atlas didn't say anything so he just glared at Kei.
Kei feels everyone is feeling gloomy.
Faye is traumatized that her engagement was overshadowed three times.
Aurora is okay but to think their father's new boyfriend is much younger than him and he is a Roseburn of all people!
"Then Princess will become our step sister if you two get married?" Kei looks at Princess.
Princess eyes widened.
"Really?" She said happily.
Atlas finally looks up and looks at Ark.
Ark is sweating as he looks away.
"That's right, I guess." He said slowly.
"That… we are not in a hurry anyway. Don't force yourself." Ark said, putting his hand on top of his hand.
The air around them is so strange that everyone wonders what happened.
Atlas just snorts and takes back his hand and starts eating again.
Ark sighs and he keeps putting food in Atlas' plate.
Making Atlas glare at him.
"They are irritating to watch." Kei said and looks at Faye and Aurora being tended by their boyfriends.
Jeremy is about to feed him but pauses mid way.
"You don't like meat?" He asks.
Kei opens his mouth. Jeremy paused and leaned to kiss him.
"!!!!" They all look at the two suddenly making out. Kei angrily pushes him.
"Jeremy Settir."
"....Sorry I thought you wanted me to kiss you" He chuckles.
Kei clenched his fist.
"You two know Princess is just 10 right?" Aurora stares at the two.
"Why is it my fault too?" Kei raised a brow.
"Cause it's your fault." Faye sneers.
"It's always your fault.
Kei folded his arms.
"I feel attacked but then again jealous people always blame the innocent."
"You are not innocent though!"
Ark sighs, shaking his head as the three of his children fight.
While Jessica is on the side and quiet and blushing as she keeps smiling shyly at the robot guy beside her.
"They are my children but they are really stupid."
"They are your children, that's why they're stupid." Atlas said softly.
Ark pulls Atlas' hand under the table and rubs his thumb over it.
"I'm sorry about the pictures. I'll fix it. It's really nothing."
Ark explained.
"You have so many women around you. So why put your hands on me." He angrily but said quietly.
".....Atlas…it's your fault to…"
"How is it my fault? You….you…."
"......You're so cute I can't help it."
Bam!
Atlas stood up and walked away.
Everyone looks at Atlas back then at Ark.
Ark smiles.
"It's nothing."
No, he is grinning.
Princess doesn't mind. As someone who knows his father and Ark's relationship the more his father acts violent the more he likes someone.
"Uncle Ark, I want dessert." Princess smiles.
"Okay." Ark smiles.
"Suspicious." Kei said.
"I got engaged yesterday…." Faye said.
"Who didn't get engaged yesterday? It's not a big deal." Aurora said, fixing her hair while flexing her engagement ring.
King holds Faye's hand.
"I'm happy to make you happy."
Faye ignores Aurora and hugs King.
"King~~ I love you!!!"
Kei and King's eyes met. King smiles softly.
"He understands his girlfriend so well. While my boyfriend keeps sexually harassing me."
"It's an accident." Jeremy said, holding his hand.
"Yeah, you slipped and fell tongue first in my mouth."
"......"
Jessica is oblivious to any of their shenanigans.
