Staring in the mirror for any visible marks before heading out to work has been an habit for Euijoo
After a week without giving any news
He needed to look great at his job
Yes he still had a job
Hanbin couldn't fire him for missing work
When he should have
He was in deep prays when euijoo finally showed up to work
.
.
Reading the looks on his workmates eyes, he concluded nobody expected him to come back
Before he could settle down at his desk
"Euijoo! " Hanbin called him to his office as soon as he walked in the building
As his boss sat down
Euijoo started by bowing and apologizing
"Cut that out!" He raised his voice
"Where were you and why did you disappear like that!!!"Hanbin slammed his fist on the table
He showered him with endless questions which euijoo gave no answers to.
"Does it really matter??" Euijoo replied
"I am your boss, I have the right to know !" This irritated hanbin more
But euijoo still acted like he didn't awe him any explanation "Do I need to tell you every step I take in my life ??"
"This is not what I meant
Gosh, let's not fight"
Hanbin sighed loudly as he sat down on his chair, he gave euijoo an advice, he told him to not leave work no matter what happens nor cut contact with people
He made Euijoo promise him
"And don't make me do something I would regret"
Euijoo didn't give much attention to his little threat and just nodde,
he felt extremely bad, Hanbin is such a nice guy and he shouldn't have talked to him like that
" Thank you for caring about me" he said one alst time with a painful smile
As he left the boss office all eyes were on him again, it felt like a deja vu,
After hearing the little fight between them, everyone thought he would gather his stuff and leave
But he just sat there on his chair and started dealing with paper work ,
.
"Fvck!" Nothing was done right, why was it that hard to do his usual job, it was so frustrating for him, his mind and life were both messy.
On the other hand his friend were getting more worried, since he looked paler and skinnier than before slower at work and mostly sadder.
They all know how much he needs help, but as long as he doesn't ask for it, nobody can help him .

Wonyong seemed the most happy one to see him again
I missed you" she met him with a hug
"Wanna have a meal together you me Nicholas and one of my friends this Friday?" She excitedly asked him
But euijoo turned her down by rejecting gently and lied about him and Nicholas having other plans
Because he is not happy and he doesn't want to fake it
"You misunderstood "
She suddenly came closer and whispered into his ear, suggesting something else to him which made his eyes grow wide
"No no Nicholas would never agree to that
The woman sighed loudly "Euijoo he needs help, we both know he won't change on his own"
