Just For A Few Days (Namkook)

Chapter 28: "You're scaring me, Namjoon"

Tuesday morning has been toilsome due to the preparation and execution of demonstrations that were planned for the upcoming high budget project. Jun-ho finally felt relieved to be back at his office despite the work pressure prevalent in the company. He has always loved this hectic schedule and was proud of his Kookie who has learnt so much of business in such short time.

The boy who was scared to speak up in meetings, is now efficiently handling clients maintaining the professional ethics that is expected of him. Jun-ho's secretary, Sehun has been really helpful in finishing off the tasks in time along with Jungkook.

"I'm getting some sushi from the new restaurant opened across the street. You want some?" Sehun asked entering into Jungkook's cabin.
"Yes please, Sehun hyung. Wait! I need a break. Can I come with you?" He asked stopping Sehun on his way out.
"Sure! Will get some for sir as well. I've heard those are super healthy so it's fine I hope." Sehun said being worried about his boss's health.

"There might be options, I will see what suits the best taking dad's health into consideration. Let's go hyung." Jungkook locked the screen of his laptop and picked up his phone and wallet from the table to follow the elder.

********

Among a pile of papers, one of the paper invoices got lost which had to be double checked with the soft copy of it. Without bothering his secretary and son, Jun-ho kept searching for it with glasses fitted right on the bridge of his nose.

The deep concentration was interrupted with a soft knock on door making him shake his head in annoyance.

"How many times would I have to tell you guys? Don't knock, just come right in."

Jun-ho permitted the person who is either Sehun or Jungkook apparently. Those two would never barge into the CEO's cabin without permission even though he asks not to behave so formal.

"Is it okay if I come in?"

Jun-ho was compelled to keep the work at the back burner as his nerves perceived the owner of the voice correctly. Suddenly the head felt heavier to lift and eyes got dizzy to look straight. Convincing himself for everything to be fine, he looked up at the visitor.

In the mere moment, his feet involuntarily got pressed against the floor making him stand right up. Hands hanging on either sides but unable to form a fold as a respectful welcoming gesture. Gulping the excess salivary liquid secreted by the glands out of stress, Jun-ho managed to pass few words.

"Wasn't expecting you here."

The visitor took small steps entering inside the perimeter of the room with a hopeful smile latched on face that formed wrinkles at the corner of eyes.

"I always knew the address, just couldn't make myself bring here."
"Take a seat."

Jun-ho gestured to the chair across him that the visitor took with a nodding smile.

"What brings you here?"
"Jinah came to my office today."

Jun-ho clenched his jaw and closed his eyes at the understanding of what's coming next and he wasn't wrong either.

"She apologised saying she ruined your life and that she has finally realised that."
"We're planning to file for a mutually agreed divorce. I don't know why she would-"
"She knows I still-"
"Hyung please!"

Jun-ho stood up from his chair out of uneasiness at the conversation that his visitor was heading to. The other person left his seat to walk towards the former. As they stood facing each other, unspoken words for more than 35 years started flaring up in the form of disobedient tears accumulated at the corner of their eyes.
