secret(ary) - nct, jaeyong & yuwin

"hello, hello!" the ceo exclaimed, taking a step inside the beautiful office he hadn't visited in the past week.

"yuta!" taeyong exclaimed, his face brightening at the sight of the ceo. "you're back!"

"i'm back, yes." the japanese male chuckled as he walked to his desk.

"so, how is your mother doing? is she okay now?" taeyong questioned, ignoring his work for a few minutes to discuss with the ceo. they were usually seeing each other almost every day, and so, taeyong had missed the japanese's presence in this big office.

"yes, she is still staying at the hospital for a few more days, but she was doing much better." yuta nodded, smiling to himself as he recalled a scene from the day before, when sicheng and him had visited his mother to greet her goodbye. his mother had once again said that she approved of yuta and sicheng's relationship, seeing how sweet and caring the chinese male was, which hadn't missed making yuta shy in front of the fake-secretary – not that he understood japanese, but still. "and what about you? how was work?"

"oh, work." taeyong thought for a while. "it was just normal. not too busy thankfully." he explained, hoping for the depth of his heart that the ceo wouldn't ask anything about the leaders' seminar during which he had stuck to jaehyun's side and after which jaehyun had discovered taeyong's deepest secret.

"that's good." yuta nodded before switching his computer on to start working.

taeyong heaved out a sigh, focusing back himself on his computer and his work before yuta could ask anything else.

he was so tensed these days, always stressed that yuta came to learn about the things he was hiding from him for no apparent reason. taeyong had managed to keep to himself that he didn't know how to drive for more than a year, so there was no reason that yuta would come to learn about it anytime soon. jaehyun uncovering this secret had been an accident, but taeyong was always careful not to put himself in such a situation when yuta was around, so there was no way he'd ever know.

plus, jaehyun was teaching taeyong how to drive now, so he surely won't need to keep the secret from everyone anymore. he'll be able to pass the driving test and then everything would be easier for him. they had another lesson together the next day, and jaehyun was such a nice and patient teacher that taeyong guessed he wouldn't need too many lessons to learn how to drive – perhaps was it because he was very invested in the lessons and tried his best to make jaehyun proud of himself.

"so, lover boy... were you able to meet with your perfect date again?" yuta teased, looking at his secretary with a brow raised and a wide smirk plastered on his face. "did he make you fall more in love that you already were?"

taeyong's cheeks flushed red immediately, suddenly remembering his and yuta's conversation over the phone a few days ago, when he had admitted to the ceo that he indeed had fallen in love with his rival – well, not that he had told him it was actually his business rival.

"y-yeah, we could meet again." the secretary nodded, letting his thoughts wander to the few encounters him and jaehyun had had, over the leaders' seminar or the driving lessons.

"and, does he return your feelings?" yuta questioned, placing his chin on his palm as he rested his elbow on his glass desk.

"i-i didn't confess to him." taeyong explained.

yuta rolled his eyes at that. "but how are you feeling it? does he seem to enjoy your presence as well? could he be having feelings for you too?"
