"Beomgyu, is your twin coming to fetch you today?" one of Beomgyu's coworker asked while they were in the break room, munching on muffins. 

"Yeah" the long haired boy nodded, taking tiny bites. 

"Awesome! We get to see the full set of gorgeous twins today again!" His coworker grinned merrily, pumping her fist to the air, expressing her excitement. 

Beomgyu only smiled bashfully. It wasn't very often that he received such compliments back then, and hearing them now always got him a little shy. 

"What about that young man with that boy that came in last time? You seemed to know them... who was that? He looked really expensive and handsome" she wiggled eyebrows nosily. 

"Hajin, stop being a busybody" their other coworker laughed. 

"It's okay... he's Taehyun" Beomgyu answered, "and the younger boy is his younger brother." 

"Oh, is he your friend?"

Beomgyu paused and frowned slightly, "no. He's not my friend. We're not friends."

His cowokers stared at him, dumbfounded by how firmly he had said it.

"Then-"

"He's my partner."

Gasps filled the breakroom and it took a moment for Beomgyu to realise what they had interpreted the term as.

Flustered, he waved his hand and shook his head, "no no! Not like that! We're something like business partners? He helps me and I help him... in a way. Mutual benefits!"

"Friends with benefits?!" Hajin accused.

"Friends with benefits?!" Another coworker who just entered the break room gasped loudly. "Who and who???"

"Friends with benefits?" Beomgyu tilted his head in confusion, wondering what the term could mean to cause such commotion. 

"Oh Beomgyu, you poor innocent thing" Hajin shook her head with disapproval, "don't mind it. I was just joking. Anyways, is this Taehyun guy single?"

"Yup" he answered easily and took another bite of his chocolate muffin, his loose collar slipping off his left shoulder when he brought his right hand up, revealing a small bruise on his collarbone. 

"Beomgyu... what's that?"

"Hmm?" Beomgyu looked down to the spot where Hajin was pointing at and instantly fixed his collar, "i-it's nothing." 

"It doesn't look like nothing, is that a love bite?!"

"Love bite?" Beomgyu questioned back, unfamiliar with it. 

"Oh my god Beomgyu" the other coworkers exclaimed in unison. 

"What?" The black haired boy frowned, not understanding them. 

"A love bite is a hickey! And a hickey is formed when someone sucked or bit on the skin!" 

"I bit on someone and there were only teeth marks?" Beomgyu looked at them, completely perplexed. 

"That's a different kind of biting" Hajin sighed, "tell us how you got that." 

"Umm, it's not a love bite though? No one bit me..."
