SLUTLINE

Chapter 16

Jinho was smoking a cigarette in his office when the door opened, revealing Dal.

Dal stepped inside and asked,"Well, I'm ready.When is my flight?"

"Tomorrow night,"Jinho replied, fiddling with his lighter.

"Perfect. I'll get ready,"Dal said, turning to leave.

As Dal opened the door,Jinho smirked and added,"I'll come by tonight to say goodbye properly."

Dal gave him a small smile and closed the door behind him.

Meanwhile,Seomin was in the hall.He took the elevator down to the ground floor and stepped out of the hotel, spotting Daniil smoking a cigarette.

Seomin approached him and said, "Hey."

Daniil looked surprised but smiled and asked,"Hey, why are you out so late?"

"I couldn't sleep.How about you?" Seomin replied.

"I just finished my shift five minutes ago and needed something to calm down from work's stress,ya know" Daniil explained.

Seomin smiled and said,"Good." He paused before continuing,"I was wondering if I could get your number...I mean,if you don't mind,of course.I won't force you."

Daniil smiled and said, "Oh, of course."

Seomin pulled out his phone and handed it to Daniil.Daniil typed in his number and gave the phone back to Seomin.

Seomin saved the number looked up and said,"Thanks. I should get going... see you later."Daniil waved goodbye and made a phone sign, indicating he would call. Seomin smiled and went back inside.

Once Seomin stepped inside,Daniil rolled his eyes and muttered to himself,"So annoying." He pulled out his phone and dialed a number.While waiting for the person on the other end to answer , he took a drag from his cigarette,holding it between his fingers.

The call connected and Daniil quickly asked,"Boss,when are you going to come?"

After receiving a satisfactory answer, he replied,"Alright,see you in two days then,"and hung up.He tossed his cigarette to the ground and walked towards his car.

Meanwhile,Jaehyun and Sunghwa were watching TV.Jaehyun had Sunghwa to cockwarm him.Then,Sunghwa started squirming.Jaehyun,annoyed by the movement,placed his hands on Sunghwa's hips and pulled him closer, saying,"Stop moving."

Sunghwa sighed,trying his best to stay still despite the discomfortand the burning sensation.He took a deep breath,attempting to relax.Jaehyun's hand moved to Sunghwa's hair,gently stroking it while his attention remained on the TV.

When Seomin stepped into the shared room with Chanyeol,he was startled to see Chanyeol reading a book.He had thought Chanyeol was sleeping.

"Where were you?Boss said we shouldn't go out alone at night," Chanyeol asked.

Seomin stammered,"I... Nothing. I just wanted some fresh air."

Chanyeol raised an eyebrow, skeptical."Oh, of course,"he said, closing his book and placing it on the nightstand.

Meanwhile,Yujin was on the balcony, pouting in annoyance.Hyunho came out and asked,"Are you still mad at me?"He stepped closer and added, "Come on,you can't say you haven't caused a mess and trouble."

Yujin retorted,"Maybe I did,but I was just trying to help.I don't understand why you all push me away."

Hyunho scoffed,"No one pushes you away."

Sarcastically,Yujin replied,"Of course...You and Minsoo teamed up against me for no reason at all."

Hyunho sighed and said,"Look, I'm sorry, okay?"
