Heeseung's POV

I put the girl on her bed covering her with a blanket as she snored and was sound asleep. Looking at her shiny face under the moonlight I sighed feeling extremely bad for her. She suffers a lot. All alone. Nobody to talk to. Walking out of the room I felt disturbed at her situation and I knew doing anything at the moment would not be of much help. Shoving the complex thoughts away I decided to get some sleep as well.

Seohyun's POV

Waking up to one of the worst hangovers I held my head tightly trying to get the unbearable pain away which wasn't really going away. "Goddamn it." I muttered under my breathe throwing the blanket away and getting up to get ready for another day at work. Thinking of how I should stop this bad habit of drinking before a work day, I buttoned up my shirt.

Walking downstairs my eyes felt the difference at how my previously messy table looked like. Don't tell- "Morning." Heeseung simply drank his milk as he gestured me to have the hangover soup kept on the table. Not arguing much I just decided to have it.

Walking inside my huge office building I once again ignored the bowing employees walked quickly to the lift. "Oh my lord walk slowly." Heeseung said out almost running at this point as Jungwon chuckled matching my speed. I annoyedly stopped and stared at the young guy in front of me who probably had something to say. "Move." My cold tone did scare him as he hesitated to say anything but still didnt move. "U-uhh ma'am." His shaky voice held a small box as I glared at him. "Hejun-" Jungwon tried to tell him to move away but the guy decided to speak now.

"Ma'am I know you had a tough time yesterday but I just wanted to tell you winning and losing are parts of a life so don't feel disappointed over yourself." I was emotionlessly looking at him as he said out those lines so easily. Tough time? Only yesterday? I have been having it for half of my life now. Winning? I have always lost everything. Disappointed? Lol. The others gasped at the guy's courage. "Ma'am he's a newbie-" Someone tried saying from the back but I cut her off.

"Is that what you wanted to say?" Still wanting to give him another chance to back off I waited for him to say something as he thought for a while. The fear in his eyes. I liked it. I wanted him to fear me. I wanted everyone to fear me. And the fact that he had the courage to even try to comfort me with his shit words, don't approve of that.

Heeseung's POV

I just stared at them from the back feeling kind of interested but it was nerve wrecking. I have stayed with Seohyun long enough to know she doesn't want anyone to feel sorry for her let alone comfort her that too in such an embarrassing way. "Uhh I-i made this. Hope you like it and hope I can stand out in front of you more from now." Don't tell me he did all these to just be noticeable. Well even if that was the reason, he probably dug his own grave. "Hmm I see." Seohyun grabbed the food container from the staffs hand as I thought this wouldn't be that bad but my hopes weren't that hopeful indeed.
