Trouble is coming for you

---

"Vital signs?" Hyunjin asked.

"Functional and ready." Jeongin said, scanning the robot.

"Vision?"

"Perfect and clear."

"Hearing?"

"Loud and wide, hyung." Jeongin smiled as he observed the robot again, pushing his glasses up.

"You?"

"Per-"

"Wait...huh?" Jeongin looked to Hyunjin who was holding his smile, confused about the sudden question.

Hyunjin quietly laughed because of Jeongin's reaction. Clearly he was flirting with the younger boy, and Jeongin was an oblivious person to notice that behavior.

"Are you asking if I'm okay?" the innocent boy asked again, earning a nod from Hyunjin, oh boy-

"Yes, I was asking if how are you these days? I seek to observe how quiet you are." Hyunjin stood next to him and also looked at the monitor.

They both observed the robot quietly, an awkward atmosphere engulfing the two of them.

"I'm okay, hyung. I was just overthinking unimportant stuff...right now, we need to focus on our projects the company will give us." Jeongin answered, glancing at Hyunjin and gave him a small smile.

Hyunjin was focused on work on the monitor, Jeongin was just tapping on his tablet, operating the robot's system.

"Hey Jeongin..." Hyunjin called him softly. It somehow made Jeongin a little flustered.

Jeongin looked at him and looked to where Hyunjin was looking. It was the hidden project. From being flustered, Jeongin was scared about what the elder had to say.

Was he in trouble?

"You checked about this... did you?" Hyunjin had an unreadable expression as he glanced back at Jeongin.

Nervousness was all over Jeongin. Hyunjin opened the secret file and had found out where Jeongin had scanned up until now. Yes, files like these have history to where the last user was able to open this file.

"I-I'm sorry, Hyunjin hyung. I got so curious that I opened the file without your consent." Jeongin lowered his head, apologizing for what he did. He doesn't wanna get scolded and fired. He just entered like a month ago.

A lot of scenarios going on inside his head, he was scared what Hyunjin will do to him next.

"You know what would happen, right? If the company finds out about this?" Hyunjin looked into a distance, asking him about the hidden project.

Jeongin nodded again. Yes, Hyunjin also knew that this project was demolished 2 years ago before it could even start. it created so much controversy that if anyone was found making this project, it would cost their license in their profession.

"Your contract will be exterminated and this project will turned into something that they will use for corruption." Jeongin answered, looking down on his fingers that was resting on the keyboard.

"That's right...this project was never my idea, but this was the remaining one of what the smartest scientist had planned a few years ago." Hyunjin explained a bit and turning off the laptop, taking up a certain flash drive.

In one tap, all the windows, doors are closed shut. Good thing that no one was around and this was a personal laboratory facility for Hyunjin and his assistant.
