As their vehicle pulled up in the underground park of the company Seungcheol was on high alert. He got out, looked around for any sign of anything to be aware of, before reaching into the car for the fragile man who was still shaking a little. “Its fine…” he said softly as he held his hand out and Jeonghan slipped his thin cold fingers inside it. “Come on, you’ve got work to do today, and you can’t let this shake you. Be strong.” Seungcheol whispered to him and he was pleased to see Jeonghan’s back straighten a little, his head held higher than before, his jaw set into a steely resolve. Seungcheol held tight to his hand as they walked through the carpark and he looked around for any doors or entrances they could start using. This process of walking through the front entrance to get in was ridiculous and unsafe. This would be the last time.

“Can you set me up a meeting with the head of security here? Today? Especially considering I already asked for this?” Seungcheol called backwards to Jisoo who was trailing them with the cat cage in hand. “What?

“Luda..” Seungcheol said softly as he let go of Jeonghan’s arm. “What are you doing here?” “What are these?” she said loudly and her dark eyes filled with tears. Jeonghan looked from her frighteningly calm rage to Seungcheol’s confusion and swiftly took a step back from them to hide behind Jisoo. Seungcheol took the stack of papers from her hands and stared down at them as he tried to piece together what was happening.

The photos, one after another, were beautiful. Seungcheol and Jeonghan, hand in hand, smiling as they walked across the yard. The same pair laughing as they walked past the pool. Jeonghan’s arms tightly wrapped around Seungcheol’s arm. And t
