"Hey soob, it's break time let's go for coffee?"

It's break time but Soobin is still loaded with bunch of paper works. Gladly, He brought several snacks on his bag so there's no need to went downstairs for food. And besides, he doesn't like to hangout with his co-workers, he prefers to be quiet and alone.

"Thank you Risa, but I have to finish this first, you guys can go without me" Soobin gently said to avoid unnecessary gossips about his refusal.

Once that the office had been emptied, he lay his back onto his chair. He grab his bag and found several types of bread that he bought earlier this morning.

The older boy was very delighted to taste his bread, it is his favorite, it was also his own definition of energy bar.

It's been 3 months since he was hired at the Choi ClothingLine Company, and he got the position as an office staff in the marketing department. Tons of paper works where landed to their team, making their hands and eyes hourly intact into the computer.

Sometimes, their managers tend to extend their work hours, resulting him to visit Taehyun late in the evening. Still, He manage to took care of his brother despite of the tiredness he felt from the heavy hours of work.

After finishing the first bread, Soobin got thirsty and decided to get some drink in the water station. He placed his cup on the tube and the cold water flows into it.

Suddenly, he felt a presence on his back "Are you Soobin from marketing department?" He found the supervisor infront of him, so he quickly respond and bow on respect.

"Follow me" Soobin followed his senior up to the highest floor of the building. Nervousness runs into his veins when he saw that their path leads to the office of the Company's President.

"I can't get fired just yet", this is the only stable job i had. Soobin whisper in his head, making himself ready from what will happen next.

"President Choi, He's already here" The doors quickly open and he was softly pushed into the room. The escort men lead Soobin into the couch and leave.

Soobin found an Old man sitting on a luxurious chair, he know that it was the president of the company he was working on.

" I had a very generous offer for you, Soobin" The older man stood up and made its way to sit to the couch across the male.

" I had informed that your brother is on serious coma, right? " The oldman said making Soobin look at him straight in the eyes. Soobin find it hard to answer, he doesn't clearly know what is his intentions. However, he still keeps it professionally and answered a small 'yes'.

"I can help you with that in terms of salary increase. You see I'm already old enough and i clearly need to step aside this upcoming year end. Due that, My Grandson will took over the company in my behalf" The older man said in a nice tone, making Soobin question him frank in a great manner.

"I understand, what task you clearly wanted me to do sir? " 

The old man smiles and lay a contract infront of the male. "I'll appoint you as his secretary, serve him and i wanted you to gatekeep him from women or other things that can make his career ruin. Simple, and with that I'll triple your salary, Deal? "

Soobin grab the contract from the table and he read every bit of it before signing. For him, It was a great offer and he didn't want to miss any if this chances.

Now he'll just hope that his new boss will treat him right and will cooperate with him in that case there's nothing to worry about.

" N- No Beomgyu, Enough! "  Taehyun's voice echoed into the room, it was really loud enough to make the neighbors peep into their windows.

Taehyun helplessly grip the older's body tight into his heavy chest, " Please drop it, Beom please " With a more calm voice, he reach Beomgyu's hand.

The sharp knife fell from the older's hands when he felt Taehyun's words soothing him from behind.

Cries, Pain. That's the thing that they both felt. "Why are you doing this to me Beomgyu...I swear it didn't happen, i can prove–" 

When Beomgyu heard that phrase came out from the younger's mouth his blood strike a hint of anger, he remove himself from the thick arms and face his lover.

" Really now? Taehyun I can't do this anymore. Everyday, It's getting heavier to breathe, it's getting toxic... and I can't trust a person, specially my husband found on the bed with a nice chic " Beomgyu scream in anger, throwing his hands in the air as his tears burst continuously.

Taehyun run his fingers into his head in frustration, he didn't cheat, however, he didn't manage to explain it well for Beomgyu, and that's the only thing he's been guilty of. "Please hon let me explain thoroughly–"

"No, No. The last time i ask you about it you said it was just 'Nothing', i waited days for an explanation but you tend to fvcking hide it from me. May, May-... Maybe we should rethink about us, our m-marriage."

Beomgyu had enough, he quickly grab his car keys from the counter and bursted crying as he walk out from their house.

"No, Beom! Please— Don't do this! Kang Beomgyu!" Taehyun was a crying mess as he was banging the window of Beomgyu's Car. He saw Beomgyu cried hard ever than before and it makes him curse between his breathe. " Please no, don't leave me please"

Beomgyu wipe his tears and start the engine, driving far away from his lover. Taehyun collapse on the cold road, having a glimpse of his love runaway far from him.

"OMG SHIT, NURSE!!! DOCTOR!! PLEASE HURRY! TAEHYUN TAEHYUN, PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME DONT! "
Soobin yelled making his voice crack in nervousness and fear.

The doctors arrived to give him few more chords for oxygen, but still the patient was technically getting hard to consume oxygen to his body.

"Doctor! His platelets are also dropping!" The nurse stated which made Soobin panic in instant.

" No Taehyun! You need to live, Taehyun do you hear me, please please don't die, don't live hyung alone please! " Soobin bawl his eyes out with tears, he collapse from the ground making the nurse assist him far away from the room.

Taehyun lay down on his bed, yet his vitals are having a huge struggle to function. He, Taehyun was far from death, he's just unconsciously experiencing the chaos happening inside his head.
