The next day, Han went to work, like normal, but that guy, Lee Minho, was there.

"Good morning, hyung and Minho-ssi." he greeted the two men.

"Good morning, Han. Did you have fun last night? " Chan asked with a suggestive tone while pointing at the younger's neck. Han blushed, covering his neck, and sat on his desk.

"I did." he then said with embarrassment. "And I'd appreciate it if you could not ask about stuff like this. " he requested. Chan laughed and nodded. Minho was silently monitoring them and listened to their conversation closely in an attempt to get some information. And he did get some. He learned that Han was seeing someone and was possibly in a long-term relationship. It had nothing to do with the investigation but for him every little detail was important.

"Good morning partner! And chief! " Seungmin greeted them as he came inside. He noticed their special guest and gave him a little bow for a greeting. Minho bowed back.

"Did you have fun yesterday? You looked really excited. " Seungmin asked his partner. Han sighed and nodded. Chan laughed at his reaction. Seungmin was confused but let it go.

Usually, they would go around the neighborhood chasing small groups of gangsters doing bad stuff, like drug dealing and prostitution but because of the recent incident involving Royal Blood, the small groups and lone wolfs were staying quiet. So, they had nothing to do, and Han was getting bored. He decided to call someone while waiting for something to happen.

"Hi, how's it going. " he said to the person on the other side of the phone. He then smiled, indicating that the person had answered his question. "And? Did you recover it? Will you abandon it? " he asked and soon after frowned. The answer was probably the latter. "That sucks. I liked that place. It was perfect for our meetings. " he said with a sigh. He was openly talking right in front of his colleagues, so naturally, it got their attention. Especially Minho's. He noticed the eyes on him but didn't leave and continued with his conversation.

"So? Where did you move? Can I come later to see the place? "he asked, and a smile appeared on his face, indicating that the person he was talking with had said yes.

"Good, now give back the phone to its owner, please. Thank you." he said and stayed quiet for a minute before lighting up. "Hey! " he said, his voice filled with happiness. "I'm fine. It doesn't hurt as much, don't worry. " he straightened his back and winced from the pain in his lower back. That, as expected, got the others' attention. Chan and Seungmin looked at him with worried eyes. Minho raised his eyebrows in surprise. Han ignored their reactions and continued with his convo.

"Did you? Well thank you, but I didn't see it, sorry. Can you deliver it to me now? " he looked at his wristwatch. "Ok, call me when you're outside. Bye. Love you. " he whispered the last part. After ending the call, he stood up and went out. Chan signaled to Seungmin to follow him, and the younger did as told.

When he got out, he saw Han standing in the parking lot, next to a black van with tinted windows. The driver-side window was rolled down, but he couldn't see who was inside, because of his position. All he could see was Han's crazy happy smile and hearty eyes, targeted at the person in the van. After a few minutes of them talking, the van went off, and Han was left there with a paper bag in one hand. He turned around and noticed Seungmin by the entrance. He waved and smiled at him. The younger did the same. Both returned inside, and Han sat back on his desk, putting the bag in one of his drawers.

"Who was that? " Seungmin decided to ask. Han looked at him with shock but recovered in a second.

"Why do you ask? " he asked.

"You looked really happy to see them, so I just wondered. If you don't want to share, don't. I'm not forcing you. " Seungmin explained with a smile.

"The person I was with yesterday. " Han confessed, risking it all. Chan and Seungmin's reactions were priceless. Both were wide-eyed and mouths agape. Han chuckled "What?".

"N-Nothing. Just didn't expect you to be so straightforward. " Chan said and the other nodded.

Minho, who was quiet this whole time, was no longer there. He rushed out the moment he heard the new information. He wanted to know who it was, so he went straight to the security control room to check the footage. He had special permission to look at the CCTVs, so he checked the footage from earlier, but the car was in the worst position and had tinted windows. Minho sighed in frustration and returned to the others.

"Where were you? Here, coffee. I made one for you too. " Seungmin gave him a cup of hot coffee and went back to his desk. Minho thanked him and sipped a little, humming in approval. It was better than he thought.

Around lunch, usually, the three would go out to the nearby BBQ place or order something, but this time Han had food with him. Chan ordered pizza for himself and Seungmin (Minho didn't want anything), and when the food arrived, Han took out his food from his drawer.

"Finally! " he excitedly opened the paper bag he got earlier and took out a lunch box. He took off the lid and inside was a nicely arranged meal with a little note on top of it. He read it and smiled to himself, before quickly putting it away in his drawer. Then enjoyed the delicious food, humming quietly in joy. After finishing it, he took out his phone and dialed the same number as earlier.

"Thank you, it was super delicious! You're getting better at it. " he said happily. He chuckled a few times and ended the call. Seungmin and Chan were looking at him, expecting to get some info about the mysterious person.

"What? " he asked the two, tidying up his desk.

"Did that person make you the lunch? " Seungmin asked, looking at the bag.

"Yes. He does sometimes. Why? " Han said, not noticing that he just revealed the gender of the person he was seeing.

"Nothing. I'm happy for you, hyung. Having someone to look after you sounds nice." Seungmin commented.

"It is. Hope you get someone soon too. I'll be rooting for you! " Han ruffled the younger's hair and laughed at his reaction. He looked like a puppy that didn't like to be patted.

Minho, who was taking mental notes for the new information, got distracted by the cuteness of the puppy-like boy. Seungmin noticed the eyes on him and gave a warning look to Minho. The older averted his eyes, pretending like he didn't just stare a hole through the younger's head.

The rest of the day was as quiet. Nothing interesting happened. No news about the small fries or the Royal Blood. It felt like the calm before the storm.
