Han: 

Did something happen? Why are you talking like this?

[Joshua just gives a small shake of his head, his eyes briefly flickering with something unreadable before he returns to his desk, quietly picking up a stack of papers to file. Jeonghan watches him for a moment, then turns to leave for the meeting....when Joshua speaks.]

Joshua: 

Hyung?

Han: 

Yes?

Joshua: 

Are you free until lunchtime?

Han: 

Y-yeah, why?

Joshua: 

I feel like treating myself today. It's been a while since we did that. Would that be okay?

Han: 

Yeah, sure.

Joshua: 

Then meet me at the parking lot. Let's go out for lunch.

Han: 

Okay! I'll go now, or I'll be late.

[Joshua offers him a faint smile and a nod. The moment Jeonghan leaves, his phone starts ringing again.]

ON CALL

Seok: 

Why aren't you replying to my messages? You just walked out of the office without a word. What's going on, Shua?

Joshua: 

I'm sorry... I just needed some time to think. But... I don't think I need that anymore.

Seok: 

So you've decided? You're ready to take over the company?

Joshua: 

Yeah. But I want a week off first.

Seok: 

That's fine. When are you going to tell him?

Joshua: 

At lunch. Today.

Seok: 

Good luck. And, Shua... you'll find someone who truly loves you.

Joshua: 

You already know my answer, Hyung. I've got work to finish. I'll talk to you later. Bye.

Seok: 

Bye.

CALL ENDED

[Joshua sighs heavily and gets back to what he was doing. He's so absorbed in his work that he doesn't notice Jeonghan returning from the meeting earlier than expected.]

Han: 

Joshua, what are you doing?

Joshua: 

Oh! You startled me.

[Joshua jumps slightly in surprise, clutching a paper in his hand. Jeonghan chuckles softly at his reaction.]

Han: 

So cute...

[For a moment, silence settles between them....Jeonghan surprised even himself with the sudden compliment. Joshua's ears turn a little pink, but he's the first to break the awkwardness.]

Joshua: 

You came back earlier than I thought.

Han:
