After some nine hours of hefty work load, Jake admired nothing but his undone bed- the cardboard boxes still managing to snicker at him from beneath. 

He threw away his shoes, lazily got rid of his sweaty socks, undid his tie before launching it at the tea table. He fell on his soft mattress, his shirt and creased black pants now becoming a burden to take off. 

"I barely had anything. No wonder my tummy is growling.", he contemplated when a rumble arose in his stomach. "Gosh. I'm too tired to make anything, though.", he snoozed with his voice trailing off. 

"I'll just get a Tteokbokki  take-out, jeez.", he lethargically grabbed his phone, scanning through the food app before his eyes landed on all the variety- which made him order for two when he was only one.

"Gimmari? Sounds good...Oo, I'll get some Mandu and Sundae too! Should I get beer? I don't think I have any.", self-talking was an art that Jake had mastered, given, he had grown up alone with his sister always busy with studies and parents just...caught up in their own stuff. At least that's what he liked to reason. 

~~~

"Shit- I'm really dumb.", he cursed at himself. "How can I mess up the address? God! What if he's with another girl and fires me for ruining his session?", he nibbled on his fingers, internally panicking. "I'll just keep the door open, I guess.", he finalised,  throwing his phone on the bed before grabbing a seat on his couch in the living room.

He turned on the TV and laid down, the cosiness filling him up. It wasn't long after that he fell somewhat asleep. 

The door next door slightly opened, the owner stepping outside with a nearly spilling trash bag- ready to be thrown away. His eyebrows met when he witnessed the bright lights of his neighbour's apartment, illuminating the dull hallway with an abandoned TV blaring some Japanese rom-com. 

"He sure has a knack for inviting trouble, I believe.", Heeseung thought before a chuckle escaped his lips. He peeped inside the enlightened living room, sighting his secretary sleeping with out giving two fucks about the world around. "Cute."

He contemplated between whether he should enter the premises of the house or should just stay back, siding with the former, shortly after. Initially, it felt as if he was creeping inside like a thief- bringing him out of his sub conscious trance. "What am I even doing?", he slapped his forehead. 

He swiftly walked upto the sleeping figure of Jake, who was shuffling in his sleep- probably due to how uncomfortable his couch felt. "Jake-ssi...", he shook the snoozing body. "Mr. Secretary, wake up.", he added, his shaking attaining vigour. "Sim Jake!", he yelled, causing the other boy to jump up- head butting his boss in the nose. 

"Bloody! Ouch-", Heeseung grabbed his 'nearly' broken nose, his eyes shedding one or two reflexive tears. "Sir! I'm awfully sorry-", Jake threw himself off of his couch, trying his best to get a hold of an aching Heeseung. "You fucking sleep like this? With your bloody door open for all to see?", the elder said between his grunts and winces. 

"N-No, actually I was-", Jake halted, seeing blood on his boss' hands. "Shit. You're bleeding!", he panicked, running all about his house, shuffling through boxes, opening and closing closets, only to find the first aid kit. 

"Got it!", he nearly pushed a wincing Heeseung on the couch, frantically opening the box with all the medical supplies he needed. "Not a pro but Imma try my best!", he cheered himself, earning a glare from the other present. 

"If you mess my nose up, you're paying for the rhinoplasty."

Jake stood there in shock- pondering over the fact that his boss' nose was fucking bleeding a river and yet he cared only about his looks? 

Genius man, indeed.

"Sure thing.", his words bit through his tongue with a spike of seeping annoyance. Grabbing the small tongs and the cotton, he applied the medicine before carefully cleaning the blood stains, behaving as gently as he could- ignoring the growing urge of choking his boss to his death.

The males found themselves sitting in a wide open apartment with the taller holding a medicine coated cotton under his right nostril. "You're really something, I mean. You wake up only to head butt people until they bleed to death? Not bad.", sarcasm dripped from the black haired male's honey coated voice. "I'm terribly sorry, sir...", Jake's apology sounded genuine, a sheer silence following their small talk. 

"Um- Hi.", a foreign voice was heard which came from the front door, gaining the attention of the two males. "The order was for the apartment next door but they're not really answering. Could you take this for them? I'm in a hurry.", the delivery guy said, scratching his nape. Heeseung looked at his secretary, his eyes blinded by confusion and eyebrows narrowed. 

"Y-Yeah, sure! Keep the change.", Jake charged towards the door before receiving the order. He locked his apartment, making an apologetic walk towards his seated boss. "I kinda m-messed up the address, so...", he was embarrassed- so much so, the tip of his ears had turned red. 

"And, here I thought that you were being considerate about me. What a bummer.", Heeseung mocked, folding his arms against his chest before showing his back to Jake, huffing slightly. Jake was at a loss of words but little did he know, he was just being tested by an internally smirking flirt. 

"You can have it with me, sir. I have this habit of over ordering- if that's even a word.", although the dull tone that Jake had used, lacked any means of zeal or mockery, Heeseung found it to be a thing to laugh about. 

"I was joking, Mr. Sec. Why so serious and timid around me, all the time?"

"R-Right...", Jake whispered, a small and shy smile adoring his lips. "Now, if you will please serve for I'm bloody starving."

"Annoying but not that bad, I guess."

CHAPTER: 5

How's the story so far? I mean, this was a very random plot, hehe. 🎀

Oo, btw! I'm actually thinking to write a suspense/thriller Heejake novel, really soon- a stalker genre; something that I have never done before. I'm yet to figure out if I'll publish it though. 

Take care, Pookies🎀
