Bun In The Oven

Close (Lock) The Door, Please

Daeyeol's little (feisty) husband is everywhere. He is literally EVERYWHERE.

He can't get more obvious and only God's know how Daeyeol can be so oblivious (or maybe he actually isn't oblivious at all. Maybe he just likes all the attention). Wherever Daeyeol is, Seungmin will also be there. No matter what city or country Daeyeol's project brings him to, Seungmin will always tag along besides his husband.

It's not Seungmin's fault when Daeyeol decides to hire his-fucking-ex-boyfriend, who (OH GOD SEUNGMIN HATES TO ADMIT IT) looks like a Greek God walking on earth. Daeyeol looks like a Greek God himself so Seungmin hates, HATES the idea of them working together.

To be fair, Sungyoon is Daeyeol's best architect, and Daeyeol asked for Seungmin's permission to hire Sungyoon when Daeyeol decided to form his own architecture firm. But it doesn't mean Seungmin can't hate it. He hates Sungyoon. Even though Sungyoon gave them the best wedding gift, he still hates Sungyoon. And for the love of God, why did Sungyoon accept Daeyeol's request to work with him in the first place? Seungmin is so sure Sungyoon is out to get his husband.

So Seungmin decides to pop up at his husband's office. All the time.

You see, Seungmin owns a little cafe not far from his husband's office. He monitors the cafe from time to time, but he has excellent employees so he has a lot of free time to roam around. He actually can leave the cafe on its own and the cafe can still operate perfectly. He has priority, you know. And Daeyeol is his top priority.

All of Daeyeol's employees (Jangjun, Youngtaek, and sweet little Jaehyun) love Seungmin though. Sungyoon be damned. Seungmin always brings little snacks from his cafe, and his cafe's snacks taste heavenly. There is a reason why Seungmin's cafe is prosperous (But it's absolutely not Seungmin's fault if Sungyoon's share always has less cream or less fruit). So they will always let it slide if Seungmin shows a little (a lot) of PDA with Daeyeol. It's already become a daily view for them. Seungmin is a sweetheart to all of them after all. He is also nice to Sungyoon, mind you. Love and manners are a different matter.

Seungmin likes to think that he put Sungyoon in his place. And as a matter of fact, he actually is. Everyone and their mom know how soft spoken Daeyeol is. Even though he is the boss, sometimes he gets scolded instead when he tries to scold his employees, especially by Sungyoon. No one, literally NO ONE dares to cross Sungyoon. He is the most talented architect in their firm, so of course all the employees will respect him. But he also is as stubborn as a mule. No one, not even Daeyeol, dared to cross him. Until Seungmin happened.

There was one time Sungyoon made a mistake which almost cost them a big project. Jangjun, Youngtaek, and Jaehyun knew it was Sungyoon's mistake, but they didn't have the courage to address it directly. So when Daeyeol and Seungmin came, they reported it to Daeyeol instead. Daeyeol tried to scold Sungyoon privately, but then Sungyoon lashed out at Daeyeol due to his embarrassment for making a mistake. Jangjun, Youngtaek, and Jaehyun cowered in their respective cubicles but Seungmin would have none of it.

Seungmin marched to his husband's room and scolded Sungyoon loudly, they all could hear him. All of Seungmin's points are fair though, so Sungyoon admitted his mistake and he genuinely felt ashamed for lashing out at his boss for his own mistake. Since then, no one, literally NO ONE dares to cross Seungmin.

***

But on the contrary, Sungyoon likes Seungmin. He is not as dense as Daeyeol, so he knows Seungmin being a little (feisty) territorial husband around Daeyeol because of him. The incident where Seungmin scolded him in Daeyeol's place actually makes Sungyoon like Seungmin even more. And honestly, it's fascinating witnessing how flustered (and whipped) Daeyeol is everytime Seungmin goes and drapes himself all over Daeyeol. Because Daeyeol is nothing like that when he dated Sungyoon. Or maybe Sungyoon just doesn't know better because Sungyoon hates skinship and he won't let Daeyeol do that with him publicly. So Sungyoon understands that Seungmin is a better partner for Daeyeol.
