It was early in the morning, Actually it was 6:32am. Eunwoo just ended a meeting he had with a few investors.

After joonwoo walked out of the room, One of his employees, whom was in high rank tapped him on the shoulder. This man was old, his hair greying, and his steps slowed down, But even as an old man he wasn't very different from when he was younger, he smirked and striked up a conversation. "Sir, may I know if you have any siblings?" The old man asked.
Eunwoo stayed silent for a short moment but answered the question, "yea.. I do, I have a younger brother. Why are you asking?"
"My daughter is interested in dating someone... Do you think you're younger brother is willing to-" the man was cought off as Eunwoo started to speak. "oh, Well... I don't know.."
The man became desperate and asked Eunwoo once again, "can you please think about it..?" Eunwoo, replied coldly, "I'll ask my brother tonight." ... But in reality, he has no thought of sharing this information with his younger brother.

As the man unlocks the door of his house, Walking in and throws himself onto the couch. He sighs as he looks up to the ceiling.

He hears footsteps as his daughter walks in the room. "DAD!, so what did he say?!" The daughter excitedly exclaims.
"Well.. Mr. Eunwoo has said that he'll tell his brother later tonight." The man tiredly informed.
"What?! But me and Seojun were supposed to go on a fucking date tonight?!" The daughter screamed angrily as she stomps her heels onto the wood floor. "Im sorry darling, let's just wait and see." The man desperately explained, admitting defeat.
The daughter stomped into her room, she screams "Fucking useless. You said that you COULD do it, But you failed. You failed like mom did."

The afternoon glow reflected on joonwoo's phone screen. He sighs and puts his phone down, finnaly Letting his eyes rest. He closes his eyes and talks to himself in his mind, "Do.. do I like Seojun..?, I mean.. he seemed like a perfect lover. It's just.. Loving the same gender is... Not normal.. I want to love seojun without having to worry about how others will think of us, I want to love him in a safe environment. What if just loving him will make others hurt us?, Hurt Seojun. I want him to be safe. I would rather love seojun from a far, That way... He can't be hurt."

"Mr. Joonwoo.. I made you some tea.. " Seojun shyly mumbled as he offered a cup of tea to joonwoo.
Joonwoo smiled kindly and accepted the tea, blowing onto it then taking a few sips.
Joonwoo patted the space beside him, he then asks Seojun, "Seojun.. sit with me.. " Seojun sat down, sitting rather close to his doctor, making their thighs touch. Joonwoo asked as he noticed this, "Are you cold?"
Seojun looked up at joonwoo,"yea, It's getting cold lately." Joonwoo, after hearing this put his arm around seojun's waist, bringing him closer.

*The next day*

Joonwoo gets a phonecall as he organizes his closet, it's his best friend, Yujun.
"Hey? What's up." Says Yujun as joonwoo accepts the call.
"Nothing much to be honest."
"Also, joonwoo I visited the hospital, But they said you haven't been there in ages, what's going on?" Yujun worryingly asked.
"Oh, I took up a job to be a personal doctor for someone."
"Oh, I thought you married that nurse and left" Yujun jokingly said.
Joonwoo replied, being a little bit offended, "What? That's my older cousin.. She was going through some hard times, Her mother passed away."
" Ohh!, So that was just some rumor?, I thought it was so unlikily of you to like someone." Yujun curiously said.
" I do like someone. " Joonwoo ended the call, Feeling really annoyed with this conversation.
