(No One's POV)

A man with silver hair was seen rushing towards the stairs, glancing at his watch that read 8:10 PM. "Shit, Woo Hyung will kill me," the man mumbled as he hurried down the stairs. He was recalling how his perfect plan for a dinner date with his boyfriend had been ruined by his manager's last-minute work assignment. His manager, Han Minsung, had handed him additional tasks due to a colleague's sick leave, leaving him late for his romantic dinner.

His boyfriend had made a reservation at a luxurious 5-star hotel, a gesture that had touched him deeply. The couple had average-income jobs, so he appreciated his boyfriend's effort. He had even offered to split the bill, but his boyfriend had graciously declined, preferring to spoil him. He may not be a fan of extravagant spending, but he secretly enjoyed the pampering. He was lost in thought when he accidentally collided with someone.

"OH SHIT, I'm sorry," the person apologized, and he quickly recognized his manager's voice. Yes, it was the same manager, who had given him work at the last minute and often boasted about his wealth, Han Minsung.

"It's alright! Manager Nim," he managed to reply while barely concealing his anger.

"No, it's not, Chan. It's my fault; I ruined your shirt as well," Minsung said, looking at the espresso stain on Chan's blue shirt. Chan reluctantly accepted the fact that he would have to clean the shirt later.

"I should pay for the shirt at least. This looks cheap; I'll buy you a branded one," Minsung said with a smug expression, and Chan couldn't help but feel frustrated. He disliked his manager for his tendency to flaunt his wealth.

"No, Sir, it's alright. Emotions can't be bought with money," Chan said, wiping the espresso off his shirt with a handkerchief.

Chan was getting ready for his office like any regular day since he is a reporter and works at one of the most well-known news broadcasting channels ERAS NOW, he loved his job because he always wanted the people to know about the truth, his ability to talk on point without any hesitation and his strong debating skill made him choose the profession. But the only drawback about his job he picked the early morning shift, and his boyfriend works at a sales department of the local company near the city and his shift is 10 to 5, which he sometimes envies because his shift literally starts from 6 early in the morning to 6 in the evening, and sometimes he needs to do overtime because of unexpected workloads.
As he was looking for a shirt to wear, he opened his cabinet and saw a gift, he unwrapped it and it was a blue shirt with a note on the collar "You look awesome in every color, but blue just makes you shine 😉" from the writing alone he understood it was from Wonwoo he wore the shirt quickly and went to the bedroom to saw his boyfriend still sleeping or pretending to sleep because as much Chan told him not to wake up early for him, and since his cafeteria free food, so he eats his breakfast there. So Wonwoo just pretends to sleep and keeps an eye on Chan until he kisses Wonwoo goodbye on his forehead.

"I knew you weren't sleeping" Chan sat on the bed and then jumped on his boyfriend and started to tickle his boyfriend
"Dino-Ya, Ai Stop, Ha ha, Dino-Ya stops, it hurts," Wonwoo said in between his laugh, Yes only he and his family are allowed to call him, he doesn't allow anyone else to call him Dino. He still has secondhand embarrassment whenever he thinks how he thought Dino as a nickname was cool as a kid. But his parents love it and so does Wonwoo, at first he doesn't like being called Dino but he likes the smiles Wonwoo makes whenever he calls him Dino.

"You are so cute Woo-Hyung" Chan said while digging his chin at Wonwoo's crook. And Wonwoo also wrapped his long arms around him "That's why it took you almost one year of me constantly chasing you until you finally said yes" Wonwoo said in a low voice
"I'm not that easy to get, Mr. Jeon Wonwoo" Chan pulled off and looked at Wonwoo
"You were pretty obedient last night" Wonwoo shrugged
and Chan was blushing like a tomato "I was tired, and wasn't in the mood to top" Chan said
"But right now you are on top of me," Wonu said and held Chan's nape and pulled him closer until their lips touched, and just like they were slowly slipped into their own world, as Chan got more comfortable on top of Wonwoo, their lips were just moving in sync and when Wonwoo was about to slip up his tongue, Chan pulled off
"I love to continue this but I don't want my manager to make another gossip news after he saw that hickey on my neck the previous time" Chan replied getting off the bed he looked at the mirror and straightened his clothes, and Wonwoo made an adorable pout and folded his arm like a baby.
"Don't be angry, we will continue for sure and we will switch" Chan walked towards Wonwoo and pecked his lips, he and Wonwoo bid goodbye. And this shirt became one of his favorite ones.
