"Please please please please please!!"

  "No no no no no!"   "Oh come on, please! If not I'll stay in and starve!"   "Just go and have lunch with her!"   "I don't wanna! Come on Yoseob, you abandoned me at the restaurant on Saturday, you can't do it again! That would make you like... The worst best friend on earth!"    "YOU are the worst best friend! Who makes their best friend travel for half an hour to and fro their office for lunch when they have things to clear at work?"   "Yoseob ah, please!!!! Please please please please!!!"   "Fine! But it's your treat, mister!"   Smiling happily, Junhyung hung up and went back to his work silently, finishing up whatever he can before Yoseob arrives.    His moment of peace was slightly disturbed by soft knocks on his door.    "Oppa... Do you want to have lunch together?" A lady with a sweet and shy smile asked quietly as she stood by the door, seemingly afraid to enter the office.    "I'm sorry, I've already made plans for lunch with my friend and he's on the way here so it wouldn't be nice if I cancelled on him," Junhyung replied, sounding a little too scripted as he had rehearsed this in his mind even before Yoseob had agreed to eat with him.    "Oh.. Okay... What about dinner then?"   Choking on his own saliva, he coughed awkwardly as his mind started working hard for an excuse. Junhyung had not expected that at all and he was cursing himself for not being better prepared.    "I'll see you at 6 then?" The lady asked as Junhyung was obviously not able to work out a lie on the spot.    "Alright..." Junhyung replied in defeat, clearly having being caught in the act and losing in his own game.   With that, he watched as the now confident back of Gayoon disappeared from sight. Sighing frustratedly, he grabbed his hair, messing it up as he thought about how it was going to be a long day. As much as he wanted things to work out, as much as he really wished to find his true love...    Something was pulling him back.    ----------   "Irritating Yong Jun Hyung, can't he just have lunch with her? How long can he keep running away anyway?" Yoseob grumbled as he locked the doors of his car, walking towards the once again familiar office.    His fingers that were twirling his keys around suddenly lost it's grip and his keys fell to the ground. As he knelt down to pick them up, he heard a pair of hurried footsteps that stopped two cars away from Yoseob. Not thinking much, he was about to stand up when he heard something that rendered him paralyzed and unable to move.   "Managed to enter the company. As soon as Yong Jun Hyung puts his guard down, we will execute the plan."   Furrowing his eyebrows, Yoseob remained frozen, hidden by the two large cars that separated him and whoever was speaking.   Another voice responded to the first, "Good. We have two weeks. Make sure everything progresses fast and well. Get rid of anyone who stands in the way if necessary."   "No problem. I will update you again on the progress."    "Alright."   As he waited for the footsteps of the two leaving mystery people, Yoseob's heart was pounding so quickly and sweat was already forming on his forehead.  Slowly, he stood up from his kneeling position and looked around cautiously, hoping that he really wasn't seen by anyone.  Concluding that he was safe and alone, he walked briskly to the lift lobby while flooded with worry.   As the lift doors opened, he was about to rush into Junhyung's office when he was stopped by another man who was almost of the same height as him.    "Sir, may I know who you are? Not anyone is allowed to meet our CEO as and when they want."   Yoseob raised an eyebrow, wondering who was this new staff and amused by how can anyone in the company not know who he was.    "He's Yoseob and he is the only one who can come in and meet me as and when he wants."   Yoseob smiled at the teasing and yet serious tone of Junhyung who was popping his head out of the office door, obviously bored stiff from waiting for Yoseob. He bowed politely to the new staff as he excused himself to enter the office. The moment the door closed behind them, Junhyung caught the glimmer of worry and fear in Yoseob's eyes.   "What's wrong?" He asked concernedly as he pulled Yoseob's hand to sit with him on the couch.    "I heard a really strange conversation..." And he proceeded to tell Junhyung all that he heard. He stared at Junhyung's lips that had formed a grim line and his eyes that were unfocused and wandering as his mind was working hard in processing whatever Yoseob just told him.   "Do you think it's that new staff...?" Yoseob asked when Junhyung remained silently.    "I'm not sure. But when I hired him as my assistant, I've done a thorough check on his background and nothing seemed suspicious."   "What if it was all just a lie??"    "Hmmm, I'll not go around being suspicious of everybody. I'm sure Kikwang didn't lie about his portfolio and background. But don't worry, I'll still be wary and alert of the people around me." Junhyung added the last sentence as he saw Yoseob's face contorting into a look of genuine and intense worry.    His body felt a surge of warm waves coursing through him knowing that Yoseob cares for him so much. He ruffled the smaller male's hair and pinched his cheeks, never failing to be amused by how cute and young he looked despite his age.    Yoseob blushed and smacked Junhyung's hand away before saying, "so are we going for lunch or do you want to eat with your lover?"   Junhyung flicked his finger on Yoseob's forehead and as the smaller male held his hands to the pain on his forehead, he laughed and pulled him up, "she's not my lover and yes let's go."   As they left the office and let the lift doors close behind them, Yoseob could not shake away the unsettling feeling that someone was watching them.    ----------   Yoseob stared at the television but he had no idea what was happening in the drama that was playing on the screen. His eyes kept darting nervously to the clock that hung by the living room's wall, checking the time and to the entrance door of the apartment, checking if Junhyung is home.    It was almost midnight and Junhyung still wasn't back from his dinner date with Gayoon. They had been having dinner since day one but this was the first time that Junhyung was not home before 9. Yoseob was worried sick especially after the conversation that he had overheard three days ago. Junhyung had said that Yoseob was overly paranoid and shouldn't be afraid that anything would happen.  However, Yoseob trusted his sixth sense. He had the same unsettling feeling when his father passed away and when his mother got into an accident. He knew that something bad was going to happen and he was extremely worried.    Because if anything happened to Junhyung, no one else would be there for him.   His strained ears caught the soft tinkling of keys an
