The door opened and Boo Seungkwan walked in with a flick of his hair and a quick scowl at his Manager. The manager immediately moved between him and Jeonghan but Seungcheol wasn’t having it. At all.

“We need to speak,” he said with Jeonghan behind him. “Who the are you?” Seungkwan said, eyeing the bodyguard up and down, a flicker of approval crossing his face. Seungcheol eyed him back. He was adorable, all puppy eyes and cheeks flushed from the cold, a baby pink sweater completing the pretty boy look. “I’m Jeonghan’s security and we have a huge problem.”

Seungkwan shook his head. “I don’t see how any of that was my problem. You need to teach your fans some respect Jeonghan,” Seungkwan said with a flourish, the lack of any honorifics making his manager visibly cringe. “Excuse me,” the tall man moved around his idol to shake Seungcheol’s hand. “I’m Kim Mingyu and I’m Seungkwan’s manager.” “Another one?” Jeonghan snapped from behind his bodyguard and Seungcheol rolled his eyes. He wanted to tell Jeonghan to shush but he wouldn’t in front of these people.

“I’m Choi Seungcheol and I’m Jeonghan’s head of security.

He watched the man think carefully before nodding and smiling tentatively. “You’re kind of freaking me out here,” he said with a wide grin borne out of nervousness and Seungcheol smiled to put him at ease. “So I will start by saying we don’t believe Seungkwan is responsible. But Jeonghan has a stalker who has made some pretty serious threats against him and taken some very frightening actions. And done so in the name of Boo Seungkwan.”

Mingyu’s mouth gaped open a little as Seungcheol pulled out his phone and showed him the pictures of the dead flower arrangement and the card. “We would never..” he said slowly and Seungcheol stopped him. “I know. I’m not here to accuse you but warn you. This person may also be a threat to Seungkwan and I need you onside to help catch him.” Mingyu nodded as he looked over the pictures again and when he looked up Jisoo was standing before them. “Hi. I don’t believe we’ve met yet. Mr Boo had a different manager before..” “Hello,” the tall manager stood up way too quickly and bowed to the w
