"And this is your office President Kang."

The long, drawn out tour of his fathers company building finally came to an end. Taehyun was now standing outside his own office, adorned with a fancy silver plaque and all.

"My desk sits right outside, so just give me a call whenever you need anything." His assistant, the one who gave him the tour, stated. "So, President Kang, is there anything you need?"

"Just some help with organizing I assume." Taehyun replied, receiving an enthusiastic nod from the woman. Taehyun pulled open his office door, but before he could even take a glance, his attention was caught by a loud ringing.

His assistant excused herself, hurrying over to her desk, she answered the phone. "Right...understood...I'll be there immediately." She puts down the phone, turning to Taehyun. "My apologies President Kang, I've been called downstairs due to an emergency. With everything going on at the company right now, we're extremely understaffed. I should be back soon, but for now I'll find you a replacement."

"Oh that's not necessary."

The woman ignored Taehyun, grabbing a hold of the first person who walked past. "I need you to cover for me, and help President Kang with organizing."

The man looked visibly shocked, nervously whispering something to the woman. He seemed to be around a similar age to Taehyun, and was a fellow blonde. His hair was longer, almost mullet like. He was also strangely familiar, though Taehyun couldn't put his finger on where he had seen him before.

"You don't have a choice, now don't keep President Kang waiting." The woman spoke with authority, ushering the boy over. "President Kang, this is Yeosang, he'll be assisting you whilst I'm absent."

Yeosang? Like Wooyoung's boyfriend Yeosang? This was not good.

"I said it wasn't necessary." Taehyun repeated himself.

His assistant only shook her head, pushing the man forward. "Forgive me President Kang, I must go now." Taehyun didn't have a chance to resist anymore, as the woman rushed down the corridor, and out of sight.

Getting abandoned by his assistant on the first day, that was great. Plus, he got the oh so wonderful surprise, of being stuck with a person who could expose his whole double life. It couldn't be more perfect.

He kept quiet examining the male in front of him, who was avoiding eye contact at all cost. There was something off about him, exuding this vibe of not wanting to work with Taehyun. They didn't speak the other night, but it wasn't unreasonable to think he might remember him. But why was he acting nervous? He could literally black mail Taehyun if he wanted.

Taehyun let out a deep breath, swinging around to face his door. He grabbed the handle. "You remember me?" The man didn't answer, Taehyun could only assume he was freaking out more. "Come inside."

It was a spacious office, with wide open windows, allowing the sun to shine brightly into the room. There was a large mahogany desk, with a rather comfy looking office chair on one side, and two arm chairs on the other. A shallow bookshelf sat against one of the walls, with a large abstract painting, of what seemed to be a giraffe, above it.

"You can sit down." Taehyun commented, casually taking a seat at the desk. No one would have thought it was his first day. "Considering you remember me, we'll have to go about this arrangement a bit differently."

"Please don't fire me!" Yeosang pleaded, running over to the desk. "I worked so hard to get this internship! All I did was see you at a club, it's no big deal, really! I'll pretend I never saw anything!"

 Taehyun was slightly taken a back, slowly wrapping his head around Yeosang's worries. "You're not getting fired, I'm not like that. You don't have to be afraid of me, I just don't want my private matters brought up to anyone at this office."

"Of course! My lips are sealed!" Yeosang did a zipping motion over his lips.

"You can relax now." Taehyun chuckled, gesturing for the man to sit down. The blonde still seemed a bit on edge, but sat down nonetheless. "Can we also keep this information between us entirely? I don't want the group knowing..."

"You're the CEO's son." Yeosang finished the sentence, Taehyun nodding. "I get it, they might think differently of you. That's the whole reason no one knows about my internship, apart from my boyfriends obviously. They'll just judge me for it; they don't think it's possible for someone like me to get anywhere in life."

'We come from two different worlds.'

Beomgyu was right. It's so easy for Taehyun to encourage Yeosang, because he could never understand the disadvantages he faced in life. However, that wouldn't stop Taehyun. He could see the drive Yeosang had to work, and get out of that old life. If he could be a positive influence on Yeosang's life, then he was going to be it.

"Let them think what they want. It's your life, you have to do what's right for you."

Yeosang smiled, he didn't seem to expect Taehyun to be so...nice. "Exactly, that's why I'm here after all. Should we get on with organizing?"

Organizing: Taehyun nearly forgot why they were here. He didn't really want to do that anymore, and who could blame him? He had another person who was close to Beomgyu right in front of him. His curiosity was taking over, desperate to find out Yeosang's perspective of the man.

"I have a meeting in half an hour, so lets forget that for now." Taehyun spoke, letting the cogs turn in his mind. He tried to come up with a strategy, that got information out of Yeosang, without exposing his past relationship with Beomgyu. "I heard you're in a dance crew, where do you guys perform?"

"Usually in the center of town, near the Starbucks. You should come watch us sometime. We perform every weekend, or you could swing by our practice." Yeosang replied, his mood brightening at the mention of his passion. "You're close with the girls, yeah? Ryujin normally doesn't like rando's coming to our practice, but I think she likes you."

Taehyun chuckled. "I only met her the other night."

"Really?" Yeosang gasped, visibly shocked by that response. "I thought you had known each other for ages from the way she spoke about you. How do you know Yeji then? And the whole group while you're at it. What's a big shot like you, hanging around a bunch of deadbeats like us for?"

"First of all you're not deadbeats, and secondly, it's a long story. Basically I've known Soobin my whole life. It was inevitable that I'd meet you all eventually." Taehyun explained, keeping it as vague as possible.

"You're so different from how Beomgyu described."

Taehyun cocked his brow. "And how did Beomgyu describe me?"

"Not to cause drama or anything, but he said, and I quote, 'He's the biggest asshole in the whole world, and should rot in hell.'"

So that's what Beomgyu thinks.

Not bad.
