It was on that one fateful day after the gala that Soobin once again left too early for Yeonjun to make him a bento box.
Instead of lamenting the fact, just like he did the past week, he decided it was time to take initiative. He was still Choi Soobin's husband and he would not shirk his responsibilities.
So, a determined Yeonjun put on his apron, whipped up a simple lunch of pasta and seasoned vegetables, arranged it neatly in a bento and wrapped it up, and journeyed to Soobin's office.
The receptionist greeted him, security made way for him and staff left and right bowed to him
It still left him shy and flustered, especially when he looked so out of place in his hoodie, jeans and sneakers. But, at least he got to take the private elevator up.
The receptionist had called ahead so when the elevator doors opened, Naeun was there to greet him.
Although Yeonjun had ashamedly been rather jealous of er, he also felt that he did owe her some gratitude. After all, she had been taking care of his husband these last few weeks when Yeonjun couldn't. So, he could be nice to her that day in thanks.
"He's still in a meeting, but he will be done soon," Naeun told him as she led him towards Soobin's office.
On the way, he caught a glimpse of his husband through the window of the occupied conference room. he looked so calm and confident as he spoke, yet Yeonjun could see the dark bags under his eyes from so much work.
He hoped the lunch he brought would perk that busy man right up.
He didn't have to wait too long when the door opened and Soobin entered his office... with Yuhyun.
The two were laughing at something and didn't notice him huddled on the chair by the office desk, his hands tightly clutching the red lunchbox.
When Soobin turned his head and saw him sitting there, the older froze, his mouth opening slightly in surprise.
"Yeonjun," he stated. "I didn't know you were coming." He turned and gestured to the other man behind him. "You remember Yuhyun? We were about to go to lunch."
Yeonjun's eye twitched at that.
Clearing his throat, the younger stood up and lifted his chin high. "Well, you've been leaving home early lately, so I never got to make you lunch. I don't have classes till later so I thought I'd stop by and drop it off..." he hesitated before continuing, "I was hoping we could eat it together."
At that, Soobin somehow looked ashamed.
Meanwhile, Yuhyun looked fro Soobin to Yeonjun then back to Soobin with a sheepish look. "Ah, well, we don't have to have lunch today hyung," he said. "We have a few more meetings after the one today, so we can always reschedule. Have lunch with your husband, yes? I'm going."
With one last bow to both of them, Yuhyun quickly left the office.
Silence and awkwardness hung in the air, neither made a move.
Honestly, the fact that Soobin was going to lunch with Yuhyun, his ex-boyfriend, ignited the jealous fury inside Yeonjun. Forget Naeun, she was a woman which made her automatically not Soobin's type.
But Yuhyun... Choi fucking Yuhyun was an ex-boyfriend who once upon a time, could have married Choi Soobin. They were both close in age, obviously good at business, and were close friends as can be.
Whereas Yeonjun was... just Yeonjun... A business college student who wanted to be a singer. The bratty husband of a man he could barely hug without blushing or even say..
"Yeonjun?"
Soobin's voice broke through the younger's thoughts. The older was flashing him a worried look as he walked closer.
"Are you okay? You look rather red. And you're shaking. Do you have a fever?" He placed a hand on Yeonjun's forehead to feel. "Hmmm.. you seem to be fine. But, let me go ask Naeum od she has any fever reducer--."
"What's Choi Yuhyun to you?" Yeonjun asked right up without thinking.
Soobin blinked in astonishment. "Um.. excuse me?"
