chapter 13

"Good day my prince, how do you feel to finally free from bugs, problems, viruses, and entitled sponsor?" Jungwoo asked holding his laptop and files as he walks toward Taeil that is currently shutting down his own laptop.

"I am happy, it's finally over," Taeil answered weakly, he doesn't sound too excited for Jungwoo's liking.

"You don't sound too excited," Jungwoo complained.

"But I am," Taeil convinced him, weakly.

Taeil hasn't been himself for a month. Jungwoo doesn't have time to talk to Taeil because he is busy with work and Taeil is a busy as himself. They manage to solve the bugs and virus that suddenly attack their application a few months ago and it attacked again, stronger. Few of the sponsor that didn't lose hope with them for the first time is now asking and questioning if sponsoring for their application is worth it.

They need to take care of their application and talking to the sponsor at the same time. It was a hell month but they manage to get throw it. Jungwoo is glad that Taeil still holding strong and helping with solving the problems. Although Jungwoo feels bad that he couldn't talk to Taeil about his worries and problem.

"Something about the stupid doctor again?" Jungwoo asked, pouted, pretending to be sad. Taeil smiled at him. Jungwoo is the pretty ex-boyfriend that can still read through him even after all the year passed by. Taeil can't hide anything from him.

"No, I am tired and scared that we couldn't get through this but we did," Taeil lied. He shouldn't though because Jungwoo can read his emotion like a book.

"So anyway, that stupid doctor can fuck off if he can't take of you. I am here, Jungwoo Kim always ready to marry my Prince Moon. Remember how much you love me? And I can still feel your love for me shining through that beautiful eyes of yours," Jungwoo said softly, he was half-serious.

Taeil chuckled cutely, "What about the man I saw on your Instagram, Jungwoo Kim?"

"I'll drop him in an instant for you, My Prince,"

"Stop the nonsense, why aren't you introducing him to me? As far as I remember I don't have any secret from you but you literally not introducing me to your boyfriend, mm?" Taeil said, picking all his stuff and gesture Jungwoo to walk out from the meeting room. Another team will be using the meeting room soon.

"I am still learning about him. I am still waiting for you to be happy. I can't live happily knowing the love of my life living with that stupid doctor,"

"Stop talking bad about my husband,"

"Who cares," Jungwoo said.

"What about lunch, My Prince? Let's talk about the love of my life," Jungwoo offered after reaching Taeil office.

"You have lunch with him?"

"No, but I can invite him. We should go home early!" Jungwoo said looking at Taeil with his playful smirk, "Can we work a half-day today, Boss?"

"Why are you asking me. You're the Boss,"

***

They had their lunch near Jungwoo's not-yet-boyfriend's office. Jungwoo introduced Taeil to his not-yet-boyfriend, Mark. He wanted Taeil to see if the man is worth to date or Jungwoo just wanted Mark to meet the love of his life. He already told Mark about his relationship with Taeil. They are friends but they used to be lovers and he hopes Mark would understand.

Jungwoo's feeling for Taeil is always there and if Mark can help Jungwoo to get over Taeil without being overly jealous, Jungwoo is ready for him.

Taeil has always been friendly and Mark isn't a problem for him. Mark is a little bit awkward but he is always excited to know more about Jungwoo and he enjoyed meeting new people.
