It was a bright Tuesday morning when Donghae found himself having a slow workday. "Yesung, can you come here for a minute" Donghae dialed the direct line to his secretary's office to ask him to come over.

"Yes, Mr. Lee? Do you need anything?"

"I told you to call me Donghae. Anyway, can you update me on the status of our top priority projects?"

"Sure. First priority is the Shin Enterprises. They suggested additional designs for the poster to align with the vision they had to this new promotion. We managed to accommodate those with the help of our creative team since we are running earlier than scheduled. Mr. Shin had been both thankful and apologetic for the last minute additions."

"Okay, make sure to relay to him that he is a valued client that we always try our best to reflect our clients vision to their customers. What else?"

Not that he's anticipating on seeing someone from the shop. He's just craving for ice cream. Convincing himself he continued looking through Yesung's notes to occupy his thoughts which is now dangerously close to thinking about a certain someone who seemed to be everywhere.

Donghae even thought that he's hallucinating, one moment he catches a glimpse of Hyukjae, then the next moment he's gone. It's like they are playing hide and seek, and Donghae feels tired of this game. What does Hyukjae want from him. He didn't question Hyuk further on that first meeting they had as he saw the pleading in Hyukjae's eyes and he would never disregard that. Hyukjae will never beg for anything to anyone. The last time Donghae saw the elder beg was the time his mother divorced and left him and his father. Hyukjae had been devastated that time. He loves his mother so much and felt betrayed by her leaving. Donghae had always been by his side for all these trials. Thankfully, even though the younger saw some changes in Hyukjae towards other people like how he seemed to
