Chances and Happiness

Uncertainties

The first thing Noeul did the next morning was talk to his manager. It didn't take a lot of convincing to get Chen on board his plan. The latter was only too happy to know that his ward now has a shot at his happily ever after, and that Noeul will no longer leave Thailand nor his booming career.

It wasn't until after noon that he got back to his ward with the arrangements he was able to make as regards to the latter's schedule.

"I got you a week!" he excitedly mouthed to Noeul as he entered the office's lounge area, waiving the brown envelope containing the documents his ward requested. Noeul looked up when he heard the door open and just nodded his head in acknowledgement, obviously preoccupied with the sulking young man beside him on the couch.

Chen stopped on his tracks upon sensing the heavy atmosphere between the two and gave Noeul a questioning look. The latter just mouthed "jealous" before giving his full attention to Boss again. Chen just chuckled as he placed the envelope on the table in front of his ward. He then chose to sit on the coffee table at the faraway corner of the lounge. He was glad that it was just the three of them in the room now.

"It was just an invitation, Boss," Noeul said softly as he hugged the man who's obviously pretending to be busy with his phone. "I can't really refuse the flowers he sent me. He may be our age but he's still a big senior in this industry and I don't want to be on his bad side." He then reached for Boss' phone, forcing the latter to look at him.

Noeul placed the phone on the table before taking Boss' hands and wrapping them around his waist. "I won't go on a dinner date with him, okay?" he said while wrapping his own hands around Boss' neck.

"I can't really stop you, you know. I don't have any right to do so," Boss said as he buried his face at the crook of Noeul's neck.

"I'll tell him I can't go. Now, nor in the future," Noeul said in the most soothing voice he could muster.

"Promise?" Noeul heard Boss ask in a muffled voice. He nodded without letting go of his hold on the latter's neck. He smiled when he felt Boss' hands tightened around his waist.

"I love you, baby." Boss' muffled whisper tickled Noeul's ear.

"I love you," Noeul whispered back while tightening his arms around the man he loves.

It wasn't long before Noeul felt wet kisses on his neck. Boss seems to have a penchant for the crook of his neck, he thought, as he felt the man nibble on his bare skin again. And oh, the pleasure this gives him. Wet kisses from the crook of his neck, trailing all the way to his ear lobes, sent a shiver to his spine. Boss really has a way with his mouth. And Noeul couldn't help but close his eyes and enjoy every sensation these kisses brings to his dainty body.

"B-Boss..." Noeul's throaty voice surprised him.

"Babyyy..." Boss moaned in between kisses. When his lips slowly moved to the other side of Noeul's neck, he felt the latter try to break away from the hug.

That's when he realized that Noeul was saying something. But he was too intoxicated with Noeul's scent to stop tasting this oh-so-delectable treat before him.

"B-Boss... Boss..." Noeul was calling out his name but Boss still can't stop. He then felt Noeul bring his lips closer to his ear. "Phi Chen is here..."

This snapped Boss back to reality. He raised his head and looked around the room. He then let go of Noeul's waist when he saw the manager at the far corner of the room, seemingly focused on his phone.

Boss cleared his throat before calling Chen.

"Phi Chen, hello. Sorry I didn't see you," he greeted shyly, checking Noeul at the corner of his eye.

The manager smiled meaningfully. "Oh, don't mind me," he said without looking up from his phone. "I am so loving this kdrama," he said teasingly.

Noeul's cheeks burned, both from embarrassment and from the make out session just now. He saw Boss smiling shyly at his manager before he felt a hand on his waist again. He just chuckled at how clingy the man he loves is.

Noeul reached out to the envelope on the table and opened it, glad there was something he could use as a diversion.

"Thank you, Phi Chen. I'm glad I can go in time for the board meeting," he exclaimed when he saw the first couple of pages inside. "Is that it? Is everything ready? When are you leaving?" Boss inquired, pulling Noeul closer to lean on him.

"Uhuh. Phi got me a flight for the day after tomorrow," Noeul said, observing Boss' reaction. He told the latter that he needed to go to South Korea for the board meeting and to talk to his parents. "I'll be gone for just a couple of days, three days tops," he said trying to cheer Boss up. The latter just nodded and wrapped his arms around Noeul.
