Lunch turned out to be less quick than Kyuhyun had hoped for. Jongwoon talked non-stop and therefore kept forgetting to eat his food. When the clock went off one time because it was 1 o’clock, Jongwoon stuffed in all the food he had left on his plate in his mouth, before going back to work and leaving Kyuhyun behind at the table they just had lunch at.   Jongwoon had turned out to be a pretty intriguing person, he was basically the complete opposite of Kyuhyun. Where Kyuhyun’s life was all about work, Jongwoon’s life was all about having fun. Work was just for money-making he said, life was much more than just work. Kyuhyun had looked at Jongwoon all confused after this and Jongwoon had laughed at Kyuhyun and said that one day Kyuhyun would understand this too.   Jongwoon soon had started talking about stuff he liked doing. Stuff like bungee-jumping, rock-climbing, parasailing, and all other kinds of extreme sports. Kyuhyun just kept staring from Jongwoon to Jongwoon’s food that was not decreasing at all, when suddenly all the food on Jongwoon’s plate was gone, including Jongwoon himself, who ran off after mumbling that he had to go back to work. And Kyuhyun had thought that Heechul was the most intriguing person on earth, he was so wrong.   When Kyuhyun already returned to his office for a few hours, still working hard to get his work finished, the office phone went off. It was line number one, so his assistant was calling. At first he was trying to ignore it, but he could already see Yoona freaking out, like the last time he ignored her, and his guilt decided to pick up the phone anyway.   “Yes Yoona?”   “Your father is here.”   Not what Kyuhyun was hoping for. Whenever his father came over to talk to Kyuhyun, Kyuhyun always ended up with either a bad feeling, or more work to get finished, or less time to finish the tasks he already had to get finished. Don’t understand this wrong though, Kyuhyun loves his father. His father just loves the company more.   “Send him in.”   When the office door opened, and Kyuhyun’s father came walking in, Kyuhyun stood up and bowed as a greeting, while mentally embracing himself for what was coming.   “I heard you overslept yourself today.” His father started the conversation. Just as Kyuhyun had thought, straight to the point.   “Yeah..”   “Probably because you partied all weekend. Didn’t our workers wake you up?”   “I told them not to.”   “You can’t do this son. Running a company takes responsibility. Don’t let this happen again, understood?”   Kyuhyun nodded stiffly. What else could he say? His father was right, he had been irresponsible.   “Was that all?” Kyuhyun asked as politely as he could, he still had a lot of work to do, his father was only slowing him down with just standing in the office staring at Kyuhyun.   “I came to ask you to do something for me,” as Kyuhyun didn’t respond, his father continued, “we are filming a commercial for one of our perfumes upcoming Wednesday, I need you to keep an eye on the filming to make sure they don’t do anything wrong.”     Kyuhyun nodded slowly while thinking it over. Maybe if he helped with this, his father would forget Kyuhyun’s oversleeping and will be proud of him again for doing something responsible.   “Where and at what time?”   “4 in the afternoon, Bukhansan National Park.”   Kyuhyun nodded as agreement and his father left straight after that.   Great conversation dad, Kyuhyun thought to himself sarcastically, while grabbing his agenda to write down the just-made appointment. As he opened his agenda on this week, he noticed how full written it already was. There was barely any place left on the page to write down the commercial-shooting appointment. Well, Kyuhyun thought to himself, it’s for a good cause.       --------------------------------------------------------------♫♪♫♪♫-------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------♫♪♫♪♫--------------------------------------------------------------     On Wednesday, Kyuhyun started the day the same as usual. Walking in his office early in the morning, greeting everyone on his way, and ending up staring at a huge pile of papers on his desk before starting on them. Kyuhyun knew he had to skip lunch-break again if he wanted this whole pile of papers to be completely entered in the system before he had to leave for the commercial shooting.   From 12:00 until 13:00 he hoped no-one would disturb him like the last time he decided to skip lunch, but as soon as the clock pointed out it was 1 o’clock, Kyuhyun felt disappointed. Jongwoon didn’t come to make sure Kyuhyun ate lunch this time. As hard as it is for Kyuhyun to admit it, he actually liked it that Jongwoon took care of him the other day. It was nice to have someone taking care of you because they want to do it, instead of people taking care of you because they get paid to do so. Story of his life.   At 2 o’clock Kyuhyun left the office. On his way out, he noticed that Jongwoon wasn’t at his desk and he probably hadn’t been all day because the desk was too neat to have been worked on. And for a moment Kyuhyun was happy Jongwoon wasn’t around. That explained why Jongwoon didn’t make Kyuhyun have lunch. Maybe Jongwoon wouldn’t have either if he had been around, but Kyuhyun tried to ignore that thought.   When Kyuhyun arrived at the commercial-shooting spot, the set was already done and the girl who was going to be the star of the commercial was already practicing her lines. Kyuhyun had to admit, it was a beautiful place. The environment alone could probably already sell the perfume, so what was the need of hiring that girl? She was without a doubt underdressed. Kyuhyun figured that the clothes she was wearing resembled a bikini, but you might as well just call her .   The shooting started at exactly 4 o’clock. Even though the area where the shooting took place was cordoned off, many people watched from the sidelines. The only weird thing was, that the people at the sideline didn’t only stare at the girl, who was a national celebrity, but they also stared at Kyuhyun. Even though Kyuhyun had tried to stay out of the spotlights his whole life, since his father announced on national TV that Kyuhyun was going to take over Ujujin’s main office in a few years, Kyuhyun became famous as well.   The shooting proceeded well, and at 5 o’clock they all took a short break to eat something before the sun would start to set. They needed a few sunset shots as well. When Kyuhyun started eating and looking around at the spectators, he noticed a familiar face. Jongwoon was also among the crowd, but he was obviously more interested in staring at the view, rather than looking at the 2 famous people in front of him.   Kyuhyun noticed that Jongwoon was not having any bags with him, so he must be hungry by now. Jongwoon had made sure Kyuhyun ate when he was trying to skip lunch, so maybe Kyuhyun could make Jongwoon eat this time to make up for it. Kyuhyun smiled, that was a perfect plan. He stood up and walked towards Jongwoon. The girls standing beside Jongwoon started to scream when Kyuhyun walked their way, but Jongwoon didn’t avert his gaze from the scenery at all.   “What are you doing here?” Kyuhyun asked, as casual as possible. Image, remember? Jongwoon averted his gaze from the mountain and started to look at the rest of the crowd before staring at Kyuhyun.   “The same as everyone else?” He stated wisely. How corny, Kyuhyun thought, while he pulled the fence the people were standing behind a little forward and pulled Jongwoon through it, before pushing the fence back to its spot. Jongwoon looked at him confused.   “Come, let’s eat.” Kyuhyun said, pulling Jongwoon towards the table with food and started filling up a plate for him, since he didn’t seem interested in doing it himself at all. Maybe he felt guilty that he was going to eat, while all the others who had been watching for hours already were still starving behind the fences. Kyuhyun would love to give everyone food, but there just wasn’t enough. As soon as Kyuhyun was done filling up the plate with all kinds of dishes, they both sat down and started eating while staring at the mountain in front of them.   “What were you doing here? You wanted to see me work didn’t you.” Jongwoon laughed at Kyuhyun’s perception.   “I came here at 1 o’clock to climb Jaoonbong, but your filming crew wouldn’t let me pass. Then I got curious at what they were going to film and decided to just stick around here instead of climbing.” Mount Dobongsan is the mountain they are filming on at the moment. Jaoonbong is the name of one of its peaks. It’s a pretty rock-like peak.   “Don’t you need gear to climb that?” Kyuhyun asked, gesturing at the mountain’s peak.   “My gear is in my car.” Jongwoon answered, and Kyuhyun looked at him confused. “What? You think I came here walking? Do you know how long it takes to walk from here to Seoul? You moron.”   Kyuhyun blinked for a little. Did Jongwoon just call him a moron? Not even Heechul dared to call Kyuhyun a moron. But Jongwoon’s smile stopped Kyuhyun from getting mad, how on earth could you get mad at that?   Filming soon continued and Jongwoon sat next to Kyuhyun and the director, watching the process. A mere 1 hour later the filming was done and Kyuhyun grabbed his phone to call his driver to pick him up. Kyuhyun had sent the driver home earlier, because the filming could take a while and he didn’t want the driver to wait for him for hours. What Kyuhyun didn’t had considered was that there is a huge chance that your phone doesn’t have any reception in the middle of no-were.   Jongwoon had been observing Kyuhyun’s facial expressions, while the latter had a huge battle with his phone, and laughed. How cute was that?   “I can give you a ride home if you want.” He offered, seeing that Kyuhyun was terribly annoyed by his phone. Kyuhyun signed in relieve. He could already picture himself walking home in the middle of the night, that just couldn’t be save.   The ride home went by fast. The ride to the filming sight had seem to take forever. Maybe because on the ride there he had no-one to talk to, and now, on the ride home, he could share stories and listen to Jongwoon’s stories, it made the time go by much faster.   Jongwoon told Kyuhyun about how much he loved climbing Jaoonbong-peak, and that he learned how to climb from his father when he was very young at that particular peak. Then Kyuhyun told Jongwoon that he and his father actually never did anything together. Ever since Kyuhyun was young, his father was too busy taking care of the business. Kyuhyun’s mother died when Kyuhyun was 2 years old, he couldn’t remember anything about her. So for Kyuhyun i

Chapter 3: This is heartbreaking.

I swear, I mean.... Ugh... I was even a bit happy with that little YeChul there (looking up for Jongwoon's picture in the employee's directory), but then... This? I don't umderstand how a bubbly and lifelover type of person would actually kill himself. I mean... He must have had a good support system right!? Yes of course, first his dad, then his job then Kyu being rude and cold... But he must have friends to confide with right? That's just... Ughhh this is super sad :(
