It was an ordinary Tuesday.

Rain had been pouring all night so the streets were covered with puddle traps for the unsuspecting pedestrians who thought their shoes could withstand a little moisture only to sink ankle deep into cold muddy water.

Renjun was smarter than that and armed with canary yellow gumboots and a long raincoat carefully avoided every suspicious puddle on his way to work.

He's been living in this part of the city for three years now and knows the streets like the back of his hand, navigating through them effortlessly even in Bad weather.

Stepping trough the door of the large corporate building he brushed the stray droplets of water from his coat before shrugging it off and walking towards the elevators.

"Morning!"

"Good morning Ella." He greeted the older lady by the reception as he passed by, the unusual look of his boots and the black suit not being questioned.

His office was nicely decorated and somewhat secluded from the area where most of his colleagues' desks are, a perfectly peaceful place to complete his job.

Hanging up the coat he slipped out of his footwear and into the cosy loafers that he kept hidden under his desk, a neatly polished pair of shoes as well as a change of clothes having their own place in one of his dressers.

Huang Renjun is twenty six years old and works at one of the city's largest companies a boring desk job, working hours set and with a pay better than most of his friends get.

His knowledge of a few languages managed to get him on the communications department before working himself up to an interpreter for the foreign partners.

The three years he's worked there since graduating from university proved very rewarding and he has the opportunity to improve himself constantly.

As always his workday begins with brewing himself a coffee while going over the last vocabulary lesson he finished the previous day, repeating the words after the automated female voice.

French, that's what his latest addition to the list of languages he speaks is as the company plans to expand to Europe next year.

A knock on his office door makes him pause the audio and let the intruder inside, being greeted by a mop of pink hair before the smiley face comes into view.

"You busy?"

"Just finishing up my reviewing, come in Jaem."

The handsome man slipped inside with a steaming cup of coffee in his hand and took a seat on the leather sofa across Renjun's desk.

"Have you heard the news? Miyeon from accounting is pregnant and will be taking her leave starting next month." Jaemin, Renjun's roommate from university and best friend shared, being more interested in the gossip around their company than his actual work.

"Isn't she already a couple months along?  This was expected so I don't get why it's such a big deal."

"The big deal is who her substitution will be for the next year and a half, the person who will have to work with me instead of her."

The older sighed and had a feeling that it was this detail that has his best friend so excited, knowing very well that only a handful of things can get Jaemin this interested.

"Please tell me it's not some handsome dude that you plan to take home after the first day."

"It's a gorgeous, buff and sexy dude that I'll definitely take home. Remember Lee Jeno?"
