There was a notification on your computer and you glanced over. There was a happy bouncy mail icon with a smiley face. “You have a new message!” the bubble above the icon showed.

            You glanced at the documents you were supposed to be translating then at the door where your boss was currently sitting behind. Then you reached casually for your mouse to click on the icon.

            It was from your boyfriend. It was also a video call. You ignored it. You couldn’t risk talking and having people hearing. Within the next few seconds of this thought, another message appeared.

            This time it was a picture, a selca. Daehyun was pouting. “Baby, answer my video!” he typed out and you could hear the whine in his voice as you read the words.

            Sighing, you typed back a reply. “At work. Can’t right now. I’ll talk to you when I get back.” 

            He sent another picture. Daehyun’s eyes were widened into huge puppy, pleading eyes but the message he sent showed that he was okay with it. “It’s okay. I just missed you, that’s all. When will you be able to talk?”

            The door opened and you hastened to close the window. Too late. Your boss glanced over your shoulder and the picture of Daehyun stared up at you. “Who is that?” she asked.

            You closed the window and smiled sheepishly at her. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to. I’m almost done with my documents.”

            “Who is that?” she asked again.         

            You closed your eyes and inwardly cursed him for being so insistent. “It won’t happen again.”

            “Your boss is asking you who this person is.”

            “My boyfriend,” you answered meekly. Why was she being so insistent on who he was if she just wanted to scold you?

            But her normally stern face broke into a large smile. “He’s quite a cute one. If only I was a few decades younger.”

            This took you by surprise. You smiled though. “You can have him. He can be a bit of an embarrassment sometimes.”

            She leaned over you and rifled through the documents and then at your translation on the computer screen. “Answer his call,” she ordered.

            “A-answer?” you sputtered. This was your boss, right? You stared at her and she poked your shoulder. “What are you waiting for? Answer the call!”

            Your hands were shaking as you clicked the button to call him back. He rejected the call but sent another picture instead. He was smirking at you with a cocky grin and your ears burned. He had one collar of his shirt between his teeth and stared seductively at the camera. “Why? Miss me enough to risk your job?”

            You coughed and hurriedly typed back a reply. “You’re being embarrassing. Hurry up and pick up the stupid call. My job depends on it.”

            Your boss, however, looked absolutely amused as she looked at you. “Does he do this at home too?”

            “No,” you answered much too quickly and she grinned cheekily at you.

            “No?” She leaned down and indicated his picture. “I was young once too. Oh look, he’s calling in.”

            The moment you clicked answer, there was an immediate burst of sound and you leaned back in shock. Daehyun was sitting in a studio with his friend sitting next to him. He cleared his throat and started singing.

            It was a very familiar song and he was singing his heart out. He wasn’t looking at the camera, but at the screen and he was singing to Big Bang’s “Loser.” You wanted to enjoy the performance but were too busy staring at your boss.

            She, on the other hand, was absolutely into the performance. Daehyun’s soothing vocals continued to sing and when his friend was rapping, he still did not look your way. He slowly came to an end and then he looked at the camera. It took a split second but when he did notice your boss, he laughed out loud, and shut off the camera in a hurry.

            You moved your mouse to log off but your boss stopped you. “He’s a keeper. Don’t let him go,” she grinned.

            “Oh, thank you,” you smiled but it was a forced one.

            The look on her face changed slightly. “Did you think you were getting in trouble?” she asked. You nodded and she shrugged. “I always appreciate talent, and his face doesn’t hurt either.” She winked at you and that was when you were able to let loose and laugh out loud.

            “He’s probably scared to death after realizing you were listening too.”

            “Message him,” she encouraged and it was like you were with your girl friends, gossiping about your boyfriend.

            You typed quickly, “So, surprise!”

            Daehyun’s response came as soon as you clicked enter, “What the heck? That was a private performance.”

            “You got me in trouble. I had to persuade her somehow.”

            There was a pause. The indication came that he was typing, stopped, typing again. Then came his face. He was winking at the camera and he had messily drawn in a heart and then “Hi Boss!”

            This made your superior laugh out loud and she wagged a finger at you. “Keep him on a leash or I just might come snatching.”
