Author's POV:

'To stay by his side, I must hide the fact that I'm colour blind...' Hoseok thought after listening to Yoongi say that.
'But what should a designer's assistant do? What should I do now...'  He took a look around the office.
'It's so messy here. Why don't I start with cleaning up the office?'
"Uhm... Your place is quite messy. Should I help you tidy up?"
"Oh~"
"Okay!"
He started working extra hard to clean. Yoongi looked back to see him.
'I've been scratching my head off to come up with proposal ideas everyday. No one's been cleaning up my office ever since Namjoon left... This guy is quite diligent.'
A small smile formed on his face.
"Wow... You're impressive!"
'Is he looking at the project exhibitions?'
"Wow, you were in charge of so many famous projects!" He read out the names of the projects.
"The shopping complex in the heart of Busan, the green park in district Gangnam-gu... And the university of Daegu... The amusement park in Seoul?! You were in charge of this too?!"
He paused for a second.
"Hmm? Why are these incomplete?"
"They're useless now... Those projects have ended their collaboration with me..." He looked down.
'Is this why he's pulling a long face all the time?' "It's okay! New opportunities would come if the old ones are gone~"
'Is he trying to sooth my mind?'
"Ahem, why don't you look for a stable job? Why did you decide to be my temporary assistant instead?"
'Ah, how did I become the center of the topic?'
"I... We'll, you're a famous designer, and I have admired you for a long time." He came up with an excuse.
"Admire? You're lying. It's impossible for someone who is interested in the design circle to not know about what happened two years ago."
"Which incident are you talking about?"
"Nothing." He got up from the chair.
'Whatever... I'll just think of it as you lying to secure your job.' He took water in a cup.
'This person, he never tells others about his sadness?'
Yoongi was drinking water, then he felt a sharp pain in his stomach. The cup fell from his hand and he held his stomach.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Stomach ache?"
"I'm fine..." He said.
"Do you have any medicine here? I'll go buy some if there's none!"
"The drawer..."
Hoseok opened the drawer and searched for the medicine.
"No need to look through it... I'll get it myself... It's too messy..."
"Sit down! Why are you still acting tough at times like this?! Take the pill!"
He gave him the pill and water.
"Ah, Thanks..." 'Thank goodness that I still have this fella by my side...'
"Have you gone to the doctor? How did your gastric problem get so serious?"
"I wasn't eating regularly, and it turned out like this."
"This won't do! I'll cook for you from now on!" He placed his hand on the older's shoulder.
'This time, I didn't want to push him away... Maybe I do need someone by my side, I've been so tired lately. It's a good thing that it's the weekend tomorrow. I can finally get some rest...'

(Hoseok's House)

'What happened to Yoongi in the past...'
He sat on his bed and wondered.
'Oh yeah, since he was interviewed and even stalked by the reporters, he must be some famous figure among the designers circle! Maybe I could find something about him on the internet?'
He searched up on internet and found out this article:

The fresh, young designer Min Yoongi is exposed of plagiarism. Both parties tell a different version of the incident. Although Min Yoongi has voiced out and clarified on this matter, the organizer of the competition has passed the verdict on his act of plagiarism. Hansol Vernon Chwe, the designer who was plagiarized...

'He has experienced something like this in the past? Did he really plagiarize? But after getting along with him these two days, he may have a weird temperament, he's still a kind-hearted person. He doesn't seem like the kind of person who would plagiarize... The true side of him,'
He locked his phone.
'What kind of person is he?... I need to get to know him better!'
And he drifted off to sleep.

(The next day, Yoongi's house)

Yoongi woke up to the sound of the doorbell ringing.
"It's still so early in the morning... Who is it?" He came out rubbing his eyes and mumbling to himself.
'I don't remember having any food delivery or something...'
He looked through the peekhole and found Hoseok standing there.
'Why on the earth did he come to my place?!'
