Kim Dan gazed boredly at the different Joseon-era art pieces Jaekyung had hung up in his main living room.

The faint colors of the painting had given the otherwise posh and sleek home some color, but it didn't feel very homey with the neutral tones and shades of grey.

Yoon-gu had escorted him into the home, urging that he just remain quiet and to himself until Jaekyung showed up.

It'd been over thirty minutes since then.

He let out a sharp breath, feeling the sun's rays hit him through the large double-paned windows. In comparison to the outside, it felt nice and warm.

Fall was approaching and quickly at that.

He crossed his legs, gently adjusting his soft white stockings that hugged his slender thighs just right before he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps.

Multiple ones.

Emerging from the dark corridors, was Yosep, Namwook, and the Don himself.

"Welcome back," Namwook greeted Dan, holding out his hand, "I hope you haven't been waiting long."

Dan shook his head, giving the advisor a firm handshake before retracting himself, gritting his teeth but not wanting to cause anything unnecessary, "No, not at all."

He then glanced over at Jaekyung, who seemed to be more than just a little preoccupied with his phone. He didn't seem to care much for Dan's arrival, considering how early he had the shipper come.

"I was told there was something you wanted to ship out again next week ?" Dan chirped, gaining just a slight look from Jaekyung before he tucked his phone away, "It's a bit quick, don't you think?"

"I wasn't expecting to do it just yet, but I needed to do an emergency shipment." Jaekyung answered, "This time, you'll check in with Daehyun on this as I have to fly out by tonight."

"Leisure.?" Dan raised his brows, earning a rather eerie glance from the man, it was becoming more apparent that he wasn't a fan of being asked questions.

"Business to take care of in Nevada." Jaekyung coldly answered, nodding his head towards Namwook as Dan finally took notice of the folder in the advisor's other hand, "Have this prepped and delivered by tomorrow night."

"Tomorrow?" Dan raised his brows in astonishment at the jump in timing, receiving a warning glance from Jaekyung, "Not next week?"

"It's all in the folder," Jaekyung dismissed flatly, stuffing his hands in his pocket, "As I'm sure Potato already told you, he'll be monitoring progress and when you are done you'll be reporting to Daehyun."

"Potato?" Dan repeated in his head to make sure he didn't mishear Jaekyung, "Is he talking about Yoon-gu?"

All four of them made their way into the foyer, finding Yoon-gu waiting patiently by the left wall, watching as the boy with cropped jet-black hair straightened his posture once they came in proximity.

"Have a good trip, you guys!" Yoon-gu waved with a smile, only earning a response from Yosep and Namwook and barely a sideways glance from Jaekyung.

And with the bang of the side door leading down to the elevator to take them down to the garage, it was just two again.

Dan fidgeted with the folder, letting out a sharp inhale as he watched Yoon-gu snatch up the pair of keys sitting inside a decorative ceramic dish.

"Where do you need to be dropped off?" Yoon-gu bluntly inquired, "I have work of my own to get to, so we need to move now."
