Jisung and Minho were seated at their desks, finishing off their final tasks for the day. After their small interaction, Minho hadn't taken his eyes off of his laptop screen, while his gesture kept repeating in Jisungs head. Jisung was determined to find out what it all meant. Why has his heart beat increased and more importantly, why did he enjoy the attention he got even though it was so small?
'No it can't be. I couldn't possibly-' Jisungs train of thought was interrupted by the shuffling noise coming from Minho's side
Minho got up from his desk, fixing the buttons of his shirt before putting on his coat. He then took a look at himself through the reflection in the window, fixing his hair and tie before picking up his bag. Jisung let out a small gulp, his eyes glued onto Minho throughout everything.
Jisung placed both of his hands against his face, denying what he had just done.
Minho turned to face Jisung, quickly noticing his distress. A frown present on his face as he finally spoke-
"Need a ride home?"
Jisung looked up at him with a confused expression.
"Just for tonight though. Don't get carried away." Minho cleared his throat "It's just that, I feel like you might need some company on your way home." Minho stated, trying to justify his actions without making his intentions obvious
Jisung chuckled, "Right, may I know why you're being so nice to me all of a sudden?"
Minho's eyes widened slightly, he was caught red handed. "I, um- It's not like I need a reason do I? I just felt like it. Now get up if you want to get along with me, I don't have all day." Minho said as both of his ears turned red on his way out
'Seems like he can get flustered as well.' Jisung smiled
*
Jisung quickly caught up with Minho on his way out, following Minho to his car. They got onto the elevator, standing quite far from each other. Minho pressed the button that led to the first floor, both of them staying quiet.
The doors to the elevator opened on the seventh floor, both Jisungs and Minho's eyes widened in shock. Standing in front of them was a family of six, entering the elevator moments after. Due to the small space inside the elevator, Jisung got pushed onto Minho, not able to keep an inch of distance. Minho let out a somewhat quiet groan, annoyance present on his face.
He placed his arm around Jisung's waist to keep him stable and safe, knowing how much he disliked getting touched by strangers. The position they were in, looked rather questionable to others. Seeing them two hugging was what some would call "mission impossible", yet here they are stuck in such a position.
Jisung could hear Minho's heart beat against his ear, it quickening more by each second. The color red never leaving his ears. Jisung smiled to himself, deciding to tease his boss more by placing his hands against Minho's chest.
This caused Minho's eyes to wander around, looking anywhere but at Jisung. Jisung seemed to be satisfied with the reaction he got from the older, hence a proud smirk appeared on his face immediately.
The family got out on the third floor, leaving them both alone in the elevator once again. Jisung moved away from Minho, while Minho cleared his throat as he turned away from Jisung.
"I'm sorry about that boss. There wasn't much space so I was forced to lean against you." Jisung said
"N-no need to apologize, it's alright. I understand the situation we were faced with." Minho replied, trying to avoid the topic
Jisung nodded, now looking away as well smiling through the whole thing without noticing.
Minho stole a few glances at his smile, the look in his eyes softening. 'When has he gotten so beautiful?' he thought
*
They finally got to the first floor and walked out of the elevator towards the exit. Minho kept his distance from Jisung, still thinking about their previous position.
Minho was the first to walk out, Jisung following right after him. A guest from the hotel bumped into Minho, startling him.
"I'm so sorry sir! I'll try to be more careful next time, I swear!" The woman bowed two times
Minho rolled his eyes. "It's alright, no need to be afraid. Go back to what you were doing." He said quickening his pace
Jisung looked around confused, 'where did she even come from?'
Minho took out his keys and unlocked the car before getting inside. Jisung was sceptical about where Minho wanted him to sit so he patiently waited for his order.
Minho rolled down the window, "Well what are you waiting for?"
"Sir... I don't know where you'd like me to sit." Jisung said
Minho was clearly annoyed by the way people were treating him today. He sighed, "Sit next to me."
Jisung nodded, he opened the door and sat next to Minho. He made sure to put his seatbelt on, which is something he had always done. "You know where I live, so I can skip the instructions this time." Jisung smiled
Minho nodded and started the car.
Music played on the radio as they drove through the streets of Seoul, slowly making their way towards Jisungs apartment. They haven't talked much after their previous conversation, both of them enjoying the silence until Jisung began to notice Minho's sulky expression.
"What's on your mind that got you all worked up?" Jisung said scratching the bottom of Minhos chin
Minho looked into Jisungs eyes, holding eye contact for a few seconds which made his heart flutter. He turned away upon realizing that.
"Am I really that intimidating?" He asked
"Depends on what version of you we're talking about. If we're talking boss Minho then yes, you very much are intimidating." Jisung answered
"How intimidating exactly?"
"Well... You look like the guy who'd slice you into pieces if a worker messed up but other than that, you're pretty cool." Jisung chuckled
Minho sighed, "Everyone gets so terrified when they bump into me, and somehow it's a surprise when I don't act rude towards them. I really don't understand."
"You just have that look on your face, but if you ask me, that's kinda hot." Jisung laughed "Girls love that."
Minho turned to Jisung, "Girls?"
"Well yeah, you're into them right?" Jisung asked
"No comment." Minho replied as his index finger periodically hit the steering wheel while driving
Jisung didn't push the topic further, instead he decided to reassure the older. "I hope you know that, you're not as bad as you think you are. Most people are just intimidated by the way you handle things without a single care in the world, which leads them to misjudge your character. It's the position that you're on that scares people. After all, you're pretty close to the CEO. But that doesn't define who you are, sure you do have moments when you're a complete asshole but you can be nice too. Don't dwell on it too much."
Minho listened to every word Jisung said carefully and nodded. "I guess so, you flirt."
"Hey! How am I a flirt? I was trying to say something nice!" Jisung scoffed
"You called me cool and hot... Need more?" Minho smirked at Jisung
"Okay I'm never complimenting you again."
Minho bursted into laughter after Jisungs sentence making the younger avert his gaze to his direction getting mesmerized by the sight. 'What I feared the most has happened... I like-'
Minho stopped the car, as they were now in front of Jisungs apartment building. "We're here Jisung." Minho said
Jisung blinked a few times, unable to process anything. Minho noticed this, flicking Jisungs forehead to get his attention.
"Earth to Jisung. We're here, idiot." Minho chuckled
"Oh, right! How could I have not noticed?" Jisung nervously laughed "I'll be off now!" He said as he was about to get out of the car
"One thing before you leave, check your mail. The CEO wants us at the airport tomorrow morning." Minho said
"Wait... What?!" Jisung yelled out
But before he got an answer Minho drove off. "That asshole!" Jisung groaned

"Carlos, can you pass me a towel?" Hyunjin asked politely
"Right away sir!" Carlos said from outside the door
Hyunjin was seated inside his jacuzzi, where he'd always go to when he needed some time to think.
He spent the day working, unable to spend much time with Felix to which he was slightly frustrated at. His busy schedule was coming back and he was well aware of that.
Carlos knocked on the door, getting Hyunjins approval to enter shortly after. He then passed the towel to Hyunjin, which he gladly took, wiping his face with it.
"Anything else I can do for you sir?" Carlos asked
"Tell Chan that he's in charge of the hotel while I'm gone, he can do whatever he wants with it. I have trust in what he does. And tell Mrs. Louise to pack my luggage for tomorrow morning, I don't really have time for that." Hyunjin ordered
"Right away sir."
"Thank you Carlos." Hyunjin smiled watching Carlos leave
The place was quiet, as various thoughts and plans roamed through Hyunjins mind. His peace and quiet was interrupted by a phone call, to which he sighed before picking up. He didn't bother to look at the contact name.
"Hyunjin on the line."
"You sure do sound professional when you work babe." Felix chuckled
"Oh it's you love." Hyunjin smiled "What's the matter?" The tone in his voice softened
"The matter is very serious." Felix said
Worry rushed over Hyunjin within a split second, "What happened?"
"I've missed you so much you dumbass, why haven't you given me enough attention today? I've worked so hard, have I not deserved at least a kiss for my efforts?! Gosh you really know how to make a person starve for your attention! We've barely gotten a chance to talk yet you're asking what's the matter? Aish, I want to be with you so bad right now!" Felix began nagging
Hyunjin sighed in relief, getting pleased by Felix's clinginess. "If you wanted a kiss, you could have just said so darling." He said as he got back into the previous position
Hyunjins hair was dripping wet and so were his hands, making it hard to keep the phone in place.
"Well... You do have a point but still!" Felix replied
"You see love, I'm sitting all alone in my jacuzzi with nothing on me but the warm water I'm surrounded with. It's kind of lonely, care to join?" Hyunjin teased
"Can't believe that water is living a better life than me." Felix muttered making Hyunjin laugh
"Is that a yes I hear?"
Felix blushed, "Why must you be such a flirt all the time?"
"Just because I get to call you mine doesn't mean that I should stop trying my best to make you feel wanted." Hyunjin smiled "You need to know how much I appreciate you."
"That's it, I'm coming over." Felix said hanging up
Hyunjin smirked, "The trip will surely be a lot of fun."
