[UNBREAKABLE BONDS] (Yeonjun X Beomgyu)

Chapter 34: Feelings for you

The next morning, Beomgyu walked into the office with his head held high, but the murmurs around him were impossible to ignore. Employees whispered behind his back, their eyes darting toward him with judgment.

Employee 1: Did you see the picture Jisoo showed?
one whispered.
Employee 2: I didn’t know he was that close to our CEO. I get it now,  why Beomgyu is his personal assistant. To make love in the office.
another snickered.

Beomgyu clenched his fists but maintained his composure. He knew better than to let them see him crumble.

Bg: Good morning sir
Beomgyu greeted Yeonjun as he passed his office.

Yeonjun looked up from his desk, a warm smile lighting up his face.
Yj: Good morning Beomgyu. How was your night?

Bg: It was......fine
Beomgyu replied, though his expression betrayed him.

Yeonjun furrowed his brow but didn’t press further.
Yj: I'm going out to check on the others. Call me if you need any help.

As soon as Yeonjun left, Jisoo sauntered over with a smug grin.

JS: Hey Beomgyu
she began, her tone dripping with mockery,
Js: How does it feel to be alone with the CEO in a room? Must be really nice since your getting special treatment from him.

Beomgyu’s eyes flicked to her, calm and unbothered.
Bg: I didn't know you had so much free time, Jisoo-shi. Maybe just focus on your work & pls don't waste my time.

Her smirk faltered for a moment before she recovered.
JS: Enjoy it till it lasts.

Beomgyu ignored her, focusing on his work.

Just as Beomgyu was settling into his tasks, a familiar voice broke his concentration.

Sb: Beomgyu!

His head shot up, and his face lit up when he saw Soobin.
Bg: What are you doing here?

Sb: Checking on you obviously. Someone has make sure you're not overworking.
Soobin teased, pulling Beomgyu into a quick hug.

They spent the next hour catching up, their laughter filling the office. For a moment, Beomgyu forgot about the tension around him.

But from the corner of the room, Yeonjun stood silently, watching them. His jaw tightened, and a strange emotion churned in his chest. Why does this bother me so much?

Unable to bear it any longer, Yeonjun stormed out of the room, his mind swirling with confusion and jealousy.
In the hallway, Yeonjun paced back and forth, running his fingers through his hair in frustration.

Yj: What's wrong with me?
he muttered under his breath.

The memory of Beomgyu’s laughter echoed in his mind, and a pang of jealousy twisted in his chest.

Why do I feel like this? Why do I feel like... I like him?

Yeonjun shook his head, trying to dispel the thought, but it only grew louder. He clenched his jaw, heading to the restroom to splash cold water on his face. As the icy water hit his skin, he stared at his reflection in the mirror.

Yj: I'm going crazy........
he whispered.

Later that evening, back at home, Beomgyu was outside watering his plants. The cool breeze was calming, helping him unwind from the day’s chaos.
