Façade

Choi Seungcheol

"Oh wow, another down looking face." Joshua whistles, as I enter Jeonghan's office.

I stared at him for a second , sitting on his assigned spot desk near the wall and proceeded to Jeonghan, who's also not in the mood to mess with, sitting on the swivel chair with his messy long hair.

My lips curve into smirk as I go to my assigned desk spot, immediately forgotten I was not in the mood earlier. I just remembered we lost a bet a few days ago. Did he do the dare? As if he has balls to that. He has his mademoiselle now.

"Actually, I was feeling upset earlier but it's gone now seeing how devastating Yoon looks right now." I chuckle.

Jeonghan scoffs and rolls his eyes at me. "Oh fuck off. What you dared was unfair."

I shrugged and gave him an innocent smile. "Nope. What you dared to me last time was a big embarrassment." I spoke, almost shivering as I remembered how stupid and embarrassing it was.

"You're lucky you'll only need to kneel in front of us." I scoff.

Knowing Jeonghan, he won't kneel to everyone. He has the biggest pride among us, so kneeling would be impossible.

"Speaking of dare, how was yours Choi?" Joshua asked.

I grinned and leaned on the swivel chair with pride. "It was successful of course. We had fun."

Just then, Joshua scoffs and gives me a mischievous smile. "Yeah, but she left you right?"

My smile quickly faded and sneered at him. Fuck, I forgot I told him about that.

This motherfucker.

"Oh wait, I didn't know that. Tell me," Jeonghan said, with his face lit up now that he's not the only one suffering.

Joshua grin deviously at him. "I'll tell you when you kneel."

Just like that, Jeonghan kneel in front of Joshua in instant that made me frown in disappointment.

Joshua burst into laughter seeing Jeonghan kneel just to know what happened.

"Now tell me motherfucker," Jeonghan hissed.

"Oh god," Joshua laughed and nodded his head. Also wipe his fake tears and hold onto his stomach.

Jeonghan went back to his seat, impatiently waiting for Joshua to speak.

"As you have heard, she left Seungcheol after the fun. I don't know why she left but Choi was so upset yesterday. If you could see him, he really look like a pitty lone wolf." Joshua said and gave me a teasing look. I gave him a scoff.

"Deserve," Jeonghan smiled in triumph. "As she should!"

"You bastard! Take that back or I'll hope mademoiselle won't like you back," I thought though I didn't really mean the latter part.

"She won't like me because I'll make her love me." Jeonghan spoke, full of confidence and determination, almost sound delusional if I might say.

"Atleast Jeonghan's trying to have her, have any news for your one night stand lady?" Joshua asked.

I smirk at them. "Actually, after the fun. I met her in the evening. I thought I would have a hard time searching for her but I guess luck is with me." I said with a smug face.

I suddenly remembered how the dinner went well. It wasn't bad. The dinner was a blessing in disguise for me. I even want to thank Mr. Han for choosing me as his daughter's groom!

However, my luck has been limited. And it's testing my non-existent patience.

"Based on your face, something happened after the dinner. Right?" Jeonghan said.

"Right," I sigh and brush my hair up in frustration. "We enjoyed the night but she doesn't remember me. It seems she was really drunk that night."

"You have luck at the same time as bad luck too." Joshua chuckles.

"Fate just wants to balance his life," Jeonghan said in a teasing manner, annoyed.

"Oh shut up, at least I'm getting married soon with her." I spoke, trying to lighten my feeling. Or likely to gaslight myself if it's okay when it's not.

"But you're still a stranger to her!" Jeonghan exclaimed that made him and Joshua burst into laughter.

I was about to scowl at them, when a phone ring interrupted. I didn't move at first, thinking it wasn't mine, but I can feel it vibrate in my pants. So I grabbed and stared at the ID caller.

My annoyance to them immediately washed away and turned into anticipation. I shush both of them which they obliged.

"Hey, ms. Han. You called?"

"Oh hey Seungcheol. I told you to just call my name right? Don't need to be formal," she spoke with gentleness causing my heart to thump in delight.

"Right," I chuckle. "Is there anything I can help you, Sohee?"

I heard her sigh deeply that concerns me. "Is everything alright?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'm sorry for calling in the middle of your work." She spoke.

"It's alright, you're not interrupting anything here." I assured.

"That's good but still I'm sorry. My father wants you to come with me in Thailand to settle my work and some stuff there. If your busy, feel free to decline-"

"I'll come." I immediately said. I glance at the two men infront of me with a puzzled look.

"Seungcheol, you don't have to. I know your-" she insisted but I cutted her off once again.

"When it comes to you, I have a lot of time."

"I'll just go home and pack my things. We'll meet at the airport by then. See you later. Don't worry about my work." I said, smiled unconsciously.

"Okay," she sighs in defeat. "See you later then."

The phone call ended. I stood up from my chair, fixing my tie with a smug face.

"Where are you going?" Jeonghan asked.

"Too my fiance," I smirk.

"Pfft, you're more delusional than Jeonghan." Joshua laughs that made me roll my eyes at him.

"Also, you have a lot of work to do!" Jeonghan spoke whilst frowning at me.

"Yeah right," I scoff and walk towards the door. Before I totally left the room, I glanced at them and gave them a mischievous smile.

"Adios, motherfuckers."
