Part 3 - Chapter 21
I Wanna Love21
Niel plodded home, he was still depressed about the weekend. It had been days ago but he couldn’t get this heavy feeling from his limbs. His heart was constantly tugging and aching in his chest. He let himself into his apartment and sighed. Home, sweet, lonely, home.
Forever alone, Ahn Daniel. Unlovable, Ahn Daniel, nice to meet you. I should just adopt 40 cats and be done with it.
He sighed again. He sighed a lot lately.
It was only 2pm, his shift had been a short one that day. He undressed, not bothering to shower (who cares? He would die alone anyway), and set his computer up. He would kill things online for a while.

Changhyun beamed as Mr Worthington appeared from the elevator.
“Sir! Welcome back!” He said enthusiastically, bowing and opening the door through to the offices for him.
“Hello Ricky, my boy, I trust everything went smoothly while I was away?” Mr Worthington smiled in reply.
“Yes indeed, sir, no problems at all.” Changhyun nodded.
“Did you get my desk all tidied up?”
“I have no idea what you’re talking about sir. You know I would never touch your belongings.” They walked through into Changhyun’s office.
“Mm hmm.” Mr Worthington’s voice was dry. “Well, shall we reconvene after lunch to go over everything I missed?”
“Yes sir.” Changhyun grinned and bowed meekly. It was a relief to have him back.

Byunghun glared at Jonghyun. He was still pissed at him, despite knowing the reasons and accepting that it was out of his control.
“Seriously, sunbae, he’s a DJ. He said he’s really sorry.” Jonghyun said for the hundredth time that week.
“Is he a prodigy at it?” Byunghun snapped, “Or just really rude?”
“I’m sorry.” Jonghyun huffed.
“Ahhh.” Byunghun groaned, “I don’t know what to do. Niel is all depressed. He thinks he’s destined to die alone.”
“I’m sorry.” Jonghyun whined again.
“I know.” Byunghun finally conceded. “It wasn’t really your fault.”
