My Fate || JeongChan FF

Chapter 29 (Festivity part 4 continued...)✓

The three men chuckled together over a glass of cold whiskey, specially imported from the finest French luxury liquor collection.

"How do you still remember that?"

"Come on, Changbin. You know that I never forget."

"That's why you're my boss."

They laughed again as Chan took a big sip of his drink.

Seungmin, Chan and Changbin were in a private lounge amidst the party.

It was 10:30 p.m. and the whole event didn't seem to be dying down anytime soon.

"When are you two finding partners and getting married?" Changbin poured himself another glass of whiskey.

"We're... just waiting for the right time", Seungmin said in a rather unnecessarily serious tone.

"I miss being a bachelor sometimes."

"Does the Missus really control you that much?"

"... I'd be lying if I said 'no'."

"Bro, are you having war flashbacks?" Chan laughed, almost spitting out his drink. "You look so lost."

"It's not easy, man! I feel like I married a military commander rather than a woman." Changbin wiped his fake tears.

In between their bantering, Seungmin's phone kept vibrating with endless notifications. By the time he checked his phone's screen, he had already had more than enough drinks to make him drunk.

"Uuggghhh!"

"What happened?" Chan noticed Seungmin's irritation.

"Do I seriously have to work on a day like this?"

"Depends. How important is it?"

"Mr Oh wants your final word for the Persian project in France. And we need to check the paperwork with Ms Lalisa Manoban. And... a bunch of other stuff."

Chan chuckled bitterly, "We can sort everything out tomorrow." Then a thought crossed his mind. "And what about Jeongin. Is he still here?"

"You know I always have an eye on him. He's on the rooftop alone right now."

"Who's this Jeongin I keep hearing about all the time. Is he some sort of manhunt mission or something?" Changbin asked, already drinking his umpteenth glass of whiskey while going for another.

"Nah. He's just Channie's mission for love~~", Seungmin wiggled his eyebrows with a smug - drunk - smile.

"You're in love?"

"Yeah, mate."

"Somebody finally got a hold of Bang Chan's heartstrings", Seungmin fake cried.

"Well, I'm just waiting for Mr Sly PuppyM. here to make a move."

Seungmin raised an eyebrow, "Meaning?"

"Come on! When are you taking Sungmi out on a date?"

The latter felt the tip of his ears heat up, "You can't be serious."

"Bro, I'm serious as fuck. Once you do that first, then I'mma think about my situation... Because in whatever I do, I always wanna put you first. And I'll continue to do the same even in matters like this. You're my brother. Whether we're related by blood or not, whether your older than me or not, whether you're my employee or whatever... You're my brother, first and foremost."

The atmosphere had now become emotional. Chan's sentimental words had now made both him and Seungmin teary-eyed.

"Yah! Why are you being so emotional all of a sudden?!" Seungmin tried to chuckle off the feeling that weighed on his heart.
