Morning came and Jisung woke up without Minho on his side. He was confused because Minho never gets up without waking him so he tried looking inside the bathroom but he's nowhere to be found.

He fixed himself and made his way downstairs. He was surprised the moment he stepped foot in the living area because he saw a few unfamiliar people. They look like they're having problems and Minho does look bothered. What was happening?

"Hyung you know I told you I'm not working with them anymore and now you're telling me Minnie was also forced into this? I'd rather starve for the entire month instead of working with them" Minho was ranting and Jisung was actually scared to go to the kitchen but he's already there. Might as well do what he needed to do.

"Really, Minho? In front of my face? I didn't ask them to be partnered with you. Hell I don't even wanna see your face anymore. It's the company, okay? If you have anything against them, then quit. Stop whining like a child and face me with your professionalism" so Minnie noona is here? Stupid Minho.

"Come on, Minho. This is only a few episodes. One kissing scene and a few intimate scenes. The company wants us to push this and you know I can't just cancel it especially when it's from the higher ups" the manager looking guy explained to Minho and Jisung was just there looking at them.

"That is the reason why I don't want to work with their division. I don't wanna work with her and I'm clear about that. I don't want anything intimate with her"

"Great attitude, Mr. Lee Minho. So childish"

He is being stubborn. What is wrong with working with her? He's being unreasonable right now. Is it because they're exes?

"Minho, I'm pretty sure Han-ssi wouldn't mind if it's just work?" that's when Jisung almost choked on his drink. "Right? Han Jisung-ssi? It's okay to you if they'll work together again?"

"Me?" at this point, Jisung was enlightened already. Minho doesn't want Jisung to get jealous. "I mean, it's just work after all. Why is my opinion suddenly asked? I'm fine with anything he's fine with"

"See? You don't have to be stubborn about this, Minho. Just like what Minnie said, let's all be professional. This is work. It's not something you both won't benefit. It's gonna be good for everyone's image"

Minho closed his eyes in frustration and walked towards Jisung. He dragged him all the way to the kitchen and held both of his hands.

"Jisung, baby, look at me" Minho stated and Jisung easily obeyed. He looked up to stare deeply into the older's eyes. "Is it really okay if we work together? I mean, I don't really care if I work with her. It's not like I still have feelings for her, but I'm just thinking about you. I don't want you to not be complacent everytime I'm with her. Are you sure it's okay? If not, I can just be stubborn with it and not work with her. The company won't fire me for that"

"Hyung, I love you for being understanding, but I'm sure I won't be overthinking whenever you're with her especially if you assure me like this. I trust you so much that I know I won't be jealous. I'm the one you love, right?" this time, Minho was relieved. He was lying when he said they are not gonna fire him because he's not really confident about disobeying the company.

"More than you ever know, Ji. I promise I won't disappoint you, I won't make you cry, and I'm not gonna do something that will hurt you. I love you so much" then Minho kissed Jisung's forehead which made him giggle.

"Hyung I think they're waiting for you. Go tell them you're going to agree now. Just don't be harsh on Minnie noona. You don't have to be rude just because you wanted to prove something to me. You should apologize to her—

"See? Your boyfriend is so nice that he has to tell you that you should not be rude to me. We're exes. We're not enemies to begin with" both of them were surprised to hear Minnie coing in the kitchen. "I'm thirsty. I'll just get something to drink. Don't mind me"

"Uh I'm sorry about earlier, Minnie. I know I shouldn't have picked a fight just because we're gonna work together" then Minho scratched the back of his head.

"You know what, Jisung? I'm just glad he met you. You're clearly changing him for the best. Last time I remember, he doesn't care about other people's feeling especially if it's about work. I got jealous a million times because of his projects with every other girl but he never once asked me if it's okay to me. This bitch thought I won't get jealous even if he's not interested with the girls? The girls are all flirting with him and I always get mad because of that" Jisung chuckled because he already visualized that Minho is really gonna be like that.

"Hey don't say that to him!" Minho defended but Minnie and Jisung just laughed at him.

"Well we're lucky, I guess? Because in that moment, Minho hyung still chose you and now, it's gonna be me. So I guess those girls won't still have a chance on him" Jisung confidently stated and Minnie smiled warmly at him.

"I know right? And I'll make sure no one flirts with him on set. I'll give them all glares and scares just for you" Minnie responded and gave Jisung a high five.

"I know you'll do that noona. Thank you"
"No Ji. Thank you. If it's not for you, we'll both be losing our jobs"
"Actually" Minho agreed.
