Stepping out of the gray Nissan was nice and all. Jaehyun pulls at the black tie snuggly around his neck. Seeing that the car stopped, the blonde pushed the car door open and slid out.

"Thank you." Jaehyun leans back into the car and hands the man a tip for his service. After waving the car off Jaehyun walks into the skyscraper. He knew his way around the building so he wasn't nervous. However, he was meeting someone today. That made him very nervous. Standing outside of the office door didn't help cool him down either. Je knocked three times waiting for an answer.

Jaehyun puts on his best smile when the door opens. When the elder opened his arms Jaehyun didn't waste another second. He engulfed the shorter.

After they let each other go the smaller brunette moves aside and allows Jaehyun to walk in.
Stepping into his friend's office was scary but also such an aww moment.

"Jaehyun, how have you been?"

Jaehyun looks over his shoulders. "I'm fine. How about you, Taeil hyung? It's been such a long time since I last talked to you."

Taeil sits down in his chair. "I could be better. It's been almost five years since we last had a talk. Mind telling me what has happened..."

"I'm so sorry to interrupt you but I need you to do something for me." Jaehyun leans forward. He slides the little camera and sound recorder from his hands to taeil's. "I need you to bug Johnny's office."

"What...why?" Taeil ponders while grabbing the camera and recorder. "You do realize if you don't have trust in this relationship then you don't have anything."

Jaehyun rolls his eyes at that comment. He honestly expected this from Taeil, he is a therapist after all and it's kinda his thing to make Jaehyun feel like his decisions are completely Ludacris.

"I know but will you please just help me?" Jaehyun pokes out his lips and folds his hands. While batting his eyes he begs over and over, "Please pretty please."

"Why?"

"Because he won't expect that you bugged him. But he..m"

"No, why do you want him to be bugged? Is there something taeyong and I should know about?"

Jaehyun looks away from taeil. He could tell taeil why he was pushing him to hide a camera and recorder, it's too embarrassing. Also the less people that know the reason the better.

"Everything is fine. I just want to surprise him for his birthday so I need to know what he wants." What a spontaneous and almost undetectable lie.

"Fine."

Jaehyun mentally high five himself. He jumps up and down with joy. "Thanks I owe you one." Jaehyun stands up quickly and runs out of the office.

As he was jogging down the wide hallway he wasn't paying attention. Too focused and overjoyed about getting Johnny tapped he didn't see someone suddenly coming around the corner.

Both males smash into each other, but only Jaehyun falls to the ground.

"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry."

Jaehyun was so ready to gripe at this loser, maybe give him a little piece of his big mind. "He..." when he looked up he saw the golden child of their college. "Jungkook?"

"Sorry I wasn't looking where I was going." Jungkook extends his hand to jaehyun.

Without hesitation Jaehyun grabs the younger's hand. Once off of the ground Jaehyun smiles. "Sorry I should have been the one paying attention."

Jungkook laughs it off. He has always been this cool. The brunette makes anything cool. The plain white shirt and black slacks look cool because of jungkook.

Jaehyun made a mental note to tell Mark to take notes from jungkook.

With a smile wider than ever Jaehyun points behind him. "Do you work here?"

"No, I am picking up a friend. She came here for some weird reason." Jungkook looks at Jaehyun who's facial expression completely changes when the young woman from Berlin walks out.

"Is that your friend?" Jaehyun wanted to push that woman outside of one of these windows and watch her fall to her death.

"Yeah we met at one of my conventions in Berlin." Jungkook's head snaps to the side. "Is there something wrong?"

"My husband Johnny wouldn't like the way you just talked to me."

Hearing those words fall out from Joey's mouth made Jaehyun use all of the self control he possesses in his body.

When the woman turns around the color drains from her body. Jaehyun's head falls to the side. "What did you put my husband's name on?"

Jungkook looks in between the two. He couldn't deny that Joey looks very guilty at the moment. That 'oh shit' face made Jungkook want to make some popcorn and watch the sparks fly. But he will be a good friend and stand into the gap in-between the two.

When footsteps echo to his ears Jaehyun's eyes raise to johnny. With an obviously hurt expression his face he asked, "why are you here Johnny?"

"Honey I was just ma..."

"You allow her to call you husband?" Jaehyun was more livid when the sun was hot.
Johnny will not get out of this one.

Jaehyun says a small goodbye to jungkook. He turns to leave but a hand wraps around his wrist. "Let go." He tries to pull away from Johnny. But the other is super strong.

"Jaehyun I..."

"Johnny please can we talk about this later." Jaehyun frowns. "This is embarrassing enough. You don't want to talk about Jackson or my mental state decline but you will be quick to leave and help everyone else."

"Jaehyun, why are you so angry?"

"Because you called me crazy. But now I know I'm not crazy, and even if I was you wouldn't care..."

"I never thought that you were crazy. I just believe that your mental state isn't there yet."Johnny tries to defend himself.

"Yet you left me alone for two months. In that time I could have done anything to anyone or even myself."

"Ja.."

Jaehyun places his hands up and the air as he yanks away from Johnny. "I get it now. All of your I love you was a distraction, a distraction from your dirt on me. The sad thing is that I give you my all and you wouldn't give up a job."

"Jaehyun." Johnny reaches out but Jaehyun quickly walks away.
