you're addicted to me, don't you know that I'm toxic? || Jang Hanseok FF

30 Night strolls

(this chapter is not after ending #1, it was when they were still together in normal times.)

Seohae and Hanseok were on a business trip in America, attending important meetings and dinners hosted by Babel's newest finance partner who agreed to sponsor them after the failed dealership with Minseong's Bank.

Up to the last day there, they were working round the clock, taking a short rest before their last meeting and then staying working for hours straight in silence in the same room. They had to make sure everything was triple backed up and secured so Vincenzo couldn't find any way to sabotage them. Seohae was organising important information and sending out emails for confirmation.

Seohae had never seen Hanseok so concentrated and hard working, and every so often she would glance over at Hanseok and watch him work. Even him making quick notes on documents and typing made him more attractive than usual.

Hanseok had never noticed how long Seohae could go without food. She hasn't eaten anything since the night before except for a few cans of coffee while he had eaten a few energy bars and fruits whenever he got hungry.

He had fetched a couple snacks back to the room and gave Seohae some, but they remained at the corner of her table untouched.

By 6pm, Hanseok had completed everything and researched dining places while waiting for Seohae to finish up, resting on the couch.

He booked a slot for two at the the Cheesecake Factory at 6.30pm, and rushed Seohae to complete her work within 15 minutes.

"I know I know... this damned file is glitching and I can't type anything."

"DAMN IT." She suddenly slammed the keyboard, giving Hanseok a shock.

"What happened?"

"IT'S GONE. ALL MY WORK. I DIDN'T SAVE IT."

"Calm dow--"

"FUCKING HELL." She cursed, palms on her head. "Everything is in there. I can't redo everything I've been doing in the last 12 hours. Shit."

"How did you manage to mess up this bad?" He asked, standing up.

Seohae turned her neck to give him a death glare and he shut up immediately.

Hanseok went to her, "Don't worry, I'm sure we'll be able to get it back, I've done it a couple times before. Where's the charger?"

Seohae passed him the charger, and he sat on her seat, while she leaned forward, a hand on back of the seat and she watched him type. She kept rambling on about how much trouble they would be in if the file was lost forever while Hanseok worked on her computer.

He went to her files folder, clicking through dozens of files and going to the web version of Word.

"If we lose it you can just kill me."

"Stop being dramatic we'll get it back."

After another anxiety filled 3 minutes, he had found the file with a "recover unsaved document?" sticker popping up.

"See? Nothing to worry about. No one's going to kill you."

Seohae heaved a sigh of relief, legs almost giving out. "Gosh. Thanks."

Hanseok got out of the chair and gently pulled her hair behind her back, removing hair from her face.

"You're too stressed out baby, let's go for dinner."

"Okay but I need to email Mr Johnson this file first."

After doing what she needed to do, they went to the nearby Cheesecake Factory and had their seats reserved for them.
