I Want You [HaruKyu FF]

Chapter 5

Junkyu POV

It wasn't easy.

I was so wrong when I thought agreeing to have another child and following what Haruto wanted are going to solve our problem. It didn't solve anything yet, and instead, it brought another problem for us.

Trying to have a baby through surrogacy was proven to be not that easy. There are a lot of legal aspects we have to consider, and even more with Haruto's status as a Chairman, and I as...well, his husband.

Hence why, for the first time in what felt like forever, I stepped —crutch and cast free— into the building I've left for good five years or so ago. Well, I did come here every now and then to have lunch with Haruto if I happened to be around the area. But for a meeting? I've never done that since I stepped down from the Vice position.

Strangely enough, no matter how I tried to keep myself low, there were people who bowed almost ninety degrees as soon as they saw me, as though I was still their boss or something. Maybe because of the formal attire I wore today; a rather formal winter coat with a tight fitting button down white shirt underneath, navy blue slacks and brown leather loafers. It wasn't that formal, but way more formal than my usual jeans, hoodie and sneakers.

Don't blame me, life as a producer behind music equipment is far more laid back than my old corporate life.

"Junkyu-ya!" Lisa exclaimed as soon as her eyes caught me walking towards her station right across Haruto's office. She rounded her desk and rushed onto me, grinning ever so widely. "You should've told me so I can pick you up downstairs." She said as she linked her arm with mine.

"And have the whole cavalry lined up before the entrance? No, thank you." I waved my hand dramatically. She giggled, probably remembering the first day she became my PA. "Where's J?" I asked when I didn't see his nose anywhere near their shared station.

"He's in—" Lisa hadn't yet finished her answer when Haruto's office door cracked open.

"Just get it done, would you?!" I heard my husband's yelling voice come from inside the room and his loyal PA slash friend walked through the door seconds after and closed it behind him. I frowned at the look on SeungJoo's. His face was flushed red. He looked...annoyed? Angry? Pissed?

"Is everything okay, J?" I asked, which startled him. And as quick as I noticed the uneasiness in his movement, he threw me a smile. It was a professional smile, not the warm, sincere one I used to receive from him whenever I came to visit.

"Ahh, you're here already, Junkyu-ssi?" He asked, avoiding my question. I watched as his fingers slightly trembled and fumbled to unbutton his suit jacket. His chest was heaved heavily. "Please, come in, Chairman Kim is already waiting for you."

Huh? Since when he called Haruto with Chairman Kim when talking with me?

He then switched his gaze to Lisa, "Lisa, could you help me tell the legal team to come in twenty minutes? I need a quick break." He said to her then looked back at me after Lisa gave him a nod. "Excuse me, Junkyu-ssi." He bowed forty-five degrees then dashed away.

"Is this thing happen frequently?" I asked Lisa when she was stepping into her station.

"What thing?" She asked innocently as though she didn't witness what just happened.

"Lisa-ssi. You know what thing." I use my Vice Chairman tone for her to know I'm not messing around.

She was quick to turn her head and open her lips but close them again with a sigh. "I'm in no capacity to inform anyone about anything that happened on this floor." She said in a politically correct manner. She then continued typing on her computer.
