Chapter 02

The next day:

Seungmin woke up and tried being very quiet, that meant not eating his breakfast and just leaving the house with a different pair of clothes on. Once he reached the restaurant, he did the usual routine and opened the restaurant. Once customers started pouring in and someone else came to take his place as the cashier, he went to go work as a waiter. Seungmin was bringing a customer his food and dropped one of the plates with the salad on it, then he went to pick them up and cut his fingers.

"No no no, just go!" The guy picked up a cloth and covered his nose, stepping back from the scene. "You're bleeding just go wash your hand, please." He shooed Seungmin away with his hands.

"Oh, alright sir." Seungmin said, then went to the bathroom and wrapped a bandage around his fingers from what he could find.

The strange customer walked into the kitchen asking for a staff. "One of you go and clean up the plate on the ground, be careful with getting cut." He looked into the staff's eyes, who without a response went and did as he was told.

Seungmin came back out with his fingers wrapped and then bowed to the customer whose plate he dropped. "I'm very sorry sir, I don't know what got into me." He bowed again.

Lee Know patted himself off then standing up, looking at Seungmins finger, then picking it up and bringing it closer to his face. He examined it then shook his head, placing it back down. "Sorry, I was just worried you had hurt yourself too bad.." He cleared his throat.

"Thank you for your concern sir." Seungmin thanked him. "I can get you another salad, you don't have to pay this time, it's on me." He offered.

"It's fine, I actually came here just to check on something." Minho looked at his wristwatch, gesturing for a man in a grey suit to come over. "This kid, get me his credentials." He whispered, the other man nodded, heading back to where he came from. "Your name?" Lee Know asked, smiling.

"I'm Seungmin, Kim Seungmin." Seungmin smiled back.

"Well Seungmin," Minho started. "Why don't we go talk, sorry for not introducing myself, I'm the owner of this restaurant, let's head to my office for a more appropriate conversation." He said.

"Oh- alright sir." Seungmin got a bit more formal since now he knew he was talking to his boss.

When they arrived in his office, Minho had a secretary grab a glass of water for Seungmin. "Do you like tea?" He asked, taking a tray of the drink and bringing it over to a coffee table that stood in between their chairs, then pouring some in a china teacup for himself.

"I do a bit." Seungmin sat down in a chair across from Lee Know and crossed his legs, fumbling with the bandage on his finger.

"Y-you shouldn't play with that." Minho choked out, covering his nose with a handkerchief. He poured some tea into a cup for Seungmin. "Now anyways onto the reason I brought you here." Lee Know sat back, having some of his warm drink.

"Yeah?" Seungmin said, drinking some of the tea as his bandage fell off. He bent down to grab it since he didn't want to leave it on the floor, seeing as how that would be rude.

Lee Know sighed, he got up from his chair and grabbed a first aid kit from his desk. "Sit still for a moment." He kneeled beside Seungmin, cleaning the wound with a sanitizing cloth, then wrapping a newer band aid around Seungmin's finger. "There, that was agonizing." He placed the things back in its original place, sitting back into his seat.

"Oh thanks." Seungmin thanked him.

"What's with the wounds all over your body?" Lee Know blew on his tea, adding an extra sugar cube inside, then mixing it with a small spoon.

"Oh those, haha I'm just really clumsy. Yeah, clumsy." Seungmin got a bit scared as he felt his heart pace increase, he made up a quick excuse.

Lee Know looked Seungmin up and down quietly. "I'm sure you didn't trip and fall enough to get different types of wounds all over your body, you're not such a good fibber. Try again, it humors me." He said, slightly smiling.

Seungmin however, was petrified of someone finding out about Changbin. "Wait, how can you even see those?" He asked, covering himself with his arms.
