'In the Nick of Time' is a story of how love creates wonder in time, finding either love or heartbreak in perfect timing. A cliche, yet intriguing fate was brought upon Junhoe and Jinhwan. Whether it was love in the nick of time, or another ill-fate...
"Sir, here are the positions currently available for recruitment for the branch opening in two weeks. Most of them are already filled, but we still need a few to fill in. The job offers are also on the following page for your review and signature." Junhoe's secretary stated.
But his mind was somewhere else. He looked at his phone screen when a message popped out.

Junhoe unconsciously smiled reading on the reply.
It's been almost a week since he made friends with Jinhwan in his special place.

"I'll drive you home." Junhoe offered when they reached his car.
"Oh, I'm fine. You can just drop me at the bus stop. Thank you." Jinhwan politely turned down while he watched Junhoe opened the door at the passenger seat for him.
When Junhoe didn't answer, he thought the latter agreed to just drop him off the bus stop. But he was confused when the driver didn't.
"Hey." Jinhwan softly called out.
"Let me, okay? If you don't want to tell where you live, I can just drive you home myself." Junhoe smirked and paid him a quick glance.
"What? Don't tell me you're kidnapping me again?" This time, the statement came off as a joke.
"Can I?" Junhoe played along which made Jinhwan sneer.
"Really. It's late. You don't have to drive me home and... you don't even know where I live."
Junhoe looked at him and grin.
"Too late. I already know where you live. I'm sorry." He confessed.
"What? How?! Don't tell me – "
"How do you think I know about the orphanage? Since I'm already your friend, let me start by being honest. I ran a background check on Junkyu that's why I knew stuff."
"That's illegal!" Jinhwan exclaimed in disbelief. Sure, Junhoe could do that, but still, the thought of someone doing a background check on them somehow made him feel bare.
"Let me apologize about that, too. Haha!" Junhoe just laughed it off.
Jinhwan was shy to ask his question, but after a few second of debating in his head, he asked anyway.
"Do you always do this?"
"Do what? Being a jerk? Probably." Junhoe blatantly said.
"So, you always do background checking on people then?"
"Oh, you meant that? Haha! No. It's the first time. I had no choice. I wanted to know who Haruto's new boyfriend is. But I found someone amusing instead."
