"Well, let's talk about that another day, can we?"

"Wait, so you mean you wanna meet again?" Hoshi's face lit up.

"Well, it's not like I really have a choice. You are on my watch list," Jeonghan answered.

Trying to look annoyed, but he just looked stupid.

Hoshi's smile faded.

"Man, you suck. It's still the same old Jeonghan." Hoshi says as he gathers his things.

"I should go now, shua is waiting outside. See ya again. " Hoshi got up to walk to the door.

"Don't let anyone else know," Jeonghan said, walking towards him to walk alongside.

"Hmm, I got you, don't worry." Hoshi patted his shoulder before moving further to open the door to exit.

But he paused. So did jeonghan behind him.

Silence.

"Man, you suck! I hate you. You don't know how happy I am right now, " Hoshi said, pulling Jeonghan into a tight hug.

"Wait, Hannie, are you crying? Noo, don't cry. " Hoshi was panicking now.

"It's alright. I miss you guys so much, too." Jeonghan sniffles.

"Why don't you just meet all of them?" Hoshi asked.

"I am scared. Scared to how will I explain myself. I-"

They instantly separated as they heard footsteps.

"Mr. Park! What brings you here?" Jeonghan was a bit startled.

"You guys were taking way too long. So I came to check."

"Oh, I see, well theirs nothing to worry about. We can leave him alone. I will need to talk to some other workers from the company, tho." Jeonghan explained.

"Hmm," was all Mr. Park said before disappearing.

"Well, farewell. And Goodluck, " Hoshi and Jeonghan said one last goodbye before going their own ways.

(2 weeks later)
Jeonghan was sitting in his office with his 2 old grumpy temporary work partners.

They went over all the details they discovered.

"So we interviewed 10 of his colleagues, except the 10 you wanted to interview yourself. Also theirs one more guy named Hong Jisoo. He goes by Joshua, tho. We found some records about him. Seems pretty sketchy if you ask me." Mr. Ho said, handing him some files.

"Well, I will look into him. Saving the best for last." Jeonghan said.

"As you wish," and with that, the two men left.

He opened the files. Scanning through them.

"Well, this is interesting... who exactly are you, Hong Jisoo?" Jeonghan said, putting down the files.
