Business Partner - JooKyun [ENG] ✔️

Chapter: 1

While sipping his coffee, he was actually trying to suppress the feeling of happiness in him, as the deal he had been thinking about for a long time was finally coming true. He left his cup on the table slowly and picked up the phone they used in the office and dialed the number he dialed the most during the day.

"Kihyun, can you come to my room?"

He called his assistant to his room because he wanted the signatures to be signed as soon as possible. As he waited impatiently, a silhouette appeared in the glass door, and then the door opened. Kihyun walked in and slowly closed the door behind him, then turned to his boss.

"Yes, sir."

He smiled at his assistant, who was waiting for his order on his face. He hadn't seen his misbehavior even once in years.

"I say let's sign with our new business partners tonight, you know that after so many meetings, only the signatures remain." He leaned back in his chair and studied the ceiling thoughtfully. "It has to be the restaurant we always go to, at 8 pm, but first we need to find out if they are available. You can contact them, right?" As he said the last sentence, his eyes found Kihyun again. He waited for an answer.

"Sure, Mr. Lee, I'm calling right away, sir."

He took out his work phone from his pocket and started scrolling through the directory. When he found the number, he turned his gaze to Jooheon.

"Shall I speak here, sir? Don't get me wrong, I can see your excitement. I thought maybe you'd like to hear it."

Jooheon giggled as he was used to these agitation, looking at Kihyun.

"Call Kihyun, I better hear it too."

Kihyun approached the table and put it on speaker after pressing the call button. After a few rings, the phone hung up.

"Hello?"

Jooheon was staring intently at Kihyun now. He had waited for his answer.

"Hello Mr. Chae, I'm Yoo Kihyun. Lee Jooheon's assistant. How are you?"

"Hello, I'm glad Mr. Yoo, thank you. How are you?"

"I'm fine too, thanks. We thought we'd sign the deal tonight. I'd give the details for the evening if it's okay with you."

"Sure, I'm listening."

"It'll be in Heaven at 8 o'clock."

"Sure, I took notes. See you there, Mr. Yoo."

"Thanks and best wishes, Mr. Chae."

"Same to you."

After the phone hung up, Jooheon was suddenly sluggish. He thought of his husband. He wished he could come too. He thought that with this excuse, they would go out to dinner, which they had not been able to go out for years.

Kihyun, on the other hand, was shy when he saw that his cheerful boss was upset, but because he was aware of some situations, he dared to ask.

"You seem bored, sir. You must keep your mood high, it's a very important job."

Jooheon came out of the place he was diving in with Kihyun's voice and turned his gaze to him. Kihyun smiled. He knew his assistant was right. He shook his head up and down.

"I know, I'll do that, don't worry."

Kihyun asked another question, even though he knew the answer.

"Home again?"

At this, Jooheon gave a mocking smile, then raised his eyebrows to answer his assistant as he felt as if his patience was being tested by the situation at home.

"What else can be?"

Kihyun lowered his head and let out a shaky breath. "I see... I hope it gets better soon."

"Hopefully."

Kihyun suddenly lifted his head. "If you don't want it to end and you love him too much, which I think you do, arguing will only lead you to the end. I think both sides should know how to take it easy. Don't you think so, Mr. Lee? I know you are a very patient person."

"Yes I am."

"If even you have run out of patience..."

"It means the world is coming to an end." He stood up and grabbed his jacket. "Come on, less talk, more work. Let's go to this dinner."

"We don't bother, we have a nice signature in front of us." They walked out of the room and towards Kihyun's desk.

"Definitely."

After picking up his jacket and turning off his computer, Kihyun turned to his boss.

"Let's go, Mr. Lee."
