8am sharp.

Seungcheol reported to the front desk of Jeonghan’s building where he was required to show his ID and wait while the security guard checked his list. He was shown to the elevator where the guard swiped a card and pressed the big button labelled P at the top of the panel.

Penthouse….

Seungcheol rode the elevator for what felt like forever until he finally reached the top. The doors opened up into a small lobby area with another locked door and a speaker box and buzzer. He pressed the buzzer and waited. He tried again. He tried a third time.

He waited five minutes before trying again. After ten minutes he got worried. At fifteen and another attempt at the buzzer he searched for his phone and dialled the new phone number listed for Jeonghan’s manager.

“Is there a problem?” Jisoo answered the phone on the third ring.

“I was sure you said 8am but I’ve been buzzing the buzzer for fifteen minutes and he won’t let me in.” Seungcheol replied.

He heard an audible sigh on the other side of the phone. “I’m on my way anyway. I’ll get you an extra keycard as soon as I can.”

Finally, at 8:35am, Seungcheol was greeted by Jisoo coming out of the elevator. “I told him you’d be here.” He said as he shook his head. He swiped his keycard and opened the door and Seungcheol followed him inside. The place was not only stunningly beautiful but it was immaculate.

Seungcheol’s been outside waiting. I was hoping you would let him in and show him around a little like I asked.” Jisoo tried hard to hide his annoyance but Seungcheol could hear it in his voice.

“Jisoo, you’re so uptight, let’s have coffee first.” Jeonghan batted his lashes at Jisoo who frowned and turned away. “The company is expecting us at 9 and we’re already going to be late.” Jeonghan’s eyes flicked to the side and he winked flirtatiously at Seungcheol before grabbing Jisoo by the waist and pulling them both onto a nearby couch. “Then who cares! Please I want coffee first….” Jeonghan snuggled into a furiously blushing Jisoo who stammered and wriggled around for freedom. “Get dressed and we’ll get coffee on the way.” He said as he freed himself from his boss’s grasp. Jeonghan pouted at the loss of contact and turned his gaze to Seungcheol. “You’ll make sure I get coffee won’t you?” he asked sweetly.

Seungcheol didn’t know how to process anything that had happened in the last five minutes. His new boss was not only almost , but clearly had no boundaries with his staff, and no intention of doing what he was told. Seungcheol shifted nervously and smiled at the ma
