eighteen.

"What do you mean you can't do much- how much are you getting paid exactly? I could probably represent him and win the court case," Taehyung angrily spoke into the phone as he stepped into the building with a bunch of files in his hands and a large rolled up piece of paper, "Well you're fired! Or whatever they say to lawyers,"

"Woah, you've caught the 9-5 disease," Hoseok gasped when Taehyung stopped in front of him to sign into the building.

"What are you talking about?" Taehyung raised his eyebrows confused and grunted as he shifted all the materials in one arm into the other.

"You've got eye bags and red eyes, you're drowning in work, you're not even properly dressed and you walked into the building on the phone to a lawyer- you're actually a professional secretary now," Hoseok proudly stated and placed his hand against his chest as the other wiped a fake tear.

Taehyung huffed, "You should tell Mr. Jeon that, he still thinks I'm shit at my job,"

"Really? I think you're doing a fantastic job," Hoseok patted his shoulder, completely unaware as to how much his words meant to the boy.

"Thanks," Taehyung sighed, "I gotta blast, I have so much work to," He scanned his card and let the man do his job.

His shoes softly struck the carpeted floor once he arrived at the top floor, his body itched and stung due to the sudden wave of heat growing inside of him after racing around in the morning.

Taehyung absolutely dreaded the idea of having to walk in there and meet his boss, but a part of him looked forward to it after their little meal last night.

Unfortunately, when he pushed open the office door he was met with empty chair and clean desk. There was not a single trace of Jeongguk being there.

Oh wait he's meeting someone today! Taehyung recalled and made his way over to his own desk. He let out a loud exhale and began to organise all the things he had to display today along with review.

Meanwhile, Jeongguk sat against a comfortable chair, laughing warmly with the man that sat ahead of him. Food that was half eaten sat in front of them and few documents too.

"The orphanage is a good idea, seriously," The man in front of him nodded sincerely, "It's moving that you still care about the orphanage. Most of the kids that grew up with us don't even speak about it," he looked up from the documents with kind eyes, deep dimples forming on the side of his cheeks and wrinkles around his eyes when he smiled.

"Minhyuk, we grew up there- how can I forget?" Jeongguk chuckled at the memories, "I really hope you'll consider being my partner and opening it with me,"

"Consider? Of course I will, I don't even need to think about it," Minhyuk laughed, placing the papers down in front of Jeongguk who smiled.

Jeongguk was extremely fond of the man, he was like a brother since they grew up in the orphanage together and stayed in contact ever since. His heart felt overwhelmed by the chance to open up an orphanage with him.

"Great, I'll let you know when it get approves and we can start," Jeongguk picked up his drink and took a sip, everything felt as if it was going to plan and he prayed that nothing would go wrong this time. He had even temporally forgotten about the privacy leak and had full trust in Taehyung to take care of it.

"Ah, how's the business with that 19 year old secretary you mentioned?" Minhyuk picked up his drink too, raising his eyebrows in amusement when Jeongguk let out a deep sigh and shook his head.

"He's something," Jeongguk did not mean that in a positive way. His face was scrunched up in annoyance as he remembered the amount of times Taehyung acted so strangely, "I wonder how he's handling everything right now,"
