The look he was giving me could have been mistaken for Love and happiness.

My father got out of the hospital a week and a half ago and it was finally time for the big ol meeting that Kyungsoo has been working on. Every now and then father came to steal his job from me and told me to go take a break which seemed to always include Xiumin. Not that i invited him but he always knew where and when i was and played it off like he just casually bumped into me. I didn't mind his company, enjoyed it actually but it still threw me off.

That adorable stalker.

Kyungsoo seems to be nicer to me this past week also. But enough about them the meeting is about to start. I grasped my dads arm and helped him stand up while handing him his crutch. I rushed to hold the door but Kyungsoo beat me and urged me to go in first.

"I'm the secretary, i should be holding the door for you."

"And i am the caring CEO who looks after his employees." He sent a smirk and a wink my way to my annoyance.

"Yeah well i need to hold it for you bec-"

"Ellie, just go you're holding up the meeting." I huffed sadly to my father before stepping in, "Fine." I looked back at Kyungsoo when he joined us and pointed my fingers to my eyes and back to him.

I'm watching you.

Little did i know that a certain someone was watching the exchange.

As i turned around i saw Xiumin and waved silently toward him. He had a frown as he pointed to the empty seat beside him but i shook my head and pointed to the wall behind me. He raised his eyebrows and playfully scooted back and patted his lap. I looked away and bit my lip to hold back my laugh.

I carefully set my dad down in a chair and made sure he felt comfortable. I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked behind me to Kyungsoo.

"You can stay here for the meeting if you'd like, they approved it since i said you helped me with some of the designs and such." I smiled with a nod before quickly glancing at Xiumin to see him sending death glares towards Kyungsoo.

Kyungsoo saw my eyes advert and looked towards where i was looking to see Xiumin quickly look to me and point to the wall behind him.

I started to get up to go to him but Kyungsoo's grip on my shoulder tightened.

"Don't."

I looked up with a confused face and saw Kyungsoo's face darken. "He is a bad person, don't go to him."

"But he's my friend." I stated with an angry face. How dare he try to control my life. Xiumin has been nothing but nice to me.

"For how long?" I winced as his grip tightened even more, his finger nails digging into my skin.

"Since the day those people attacked you. Dad told me to bring something to his company and i had to meet him personally." I finally pushed his hand off of me and held my shoulder. "Also thanks for hurting me Mr. I-care-for-my-employees." I stood abruptly and walked over to sit in one of the chairs behind Xiumin.

Kyungsoo sat down at his respective seat which happened to be directly in front of Xiumin. Xiumin turned to me with a smile and sent me a thumbs up before turning back to Kyungsoo with a proud smirk across his face.

Once the meeting was dismissed everyone started to leave. I walked over to help my father stand and we looked to Kyungsoo once we reached the door. "Kyungsoo are you coming?" Xiumin took note that i seemed to use his real name instead of Mr.Do. 

"I will Ellie, just go on with out me. I need to talk to Mr. Kim." 

I nodded even though i knew it wouldn't be any good. I walked out with my father and set him in the car once we reached it. I waited as 5 minutes passed but Kyungsoo was no where in sight.

"I'll be back soon ok dad? I'm going to check up on them." 

"That's fine, i need to take a small nap anyway. Be careful." 

I nodded even if he couldn't see me and closed the door. Apparently he knew something bad was happening as well.

Once i reached the door i opened it carefully but my ears were bombarded with loud voices. Only reason i couldn't hear before i opened it is because these doors are made to be sound proof so no one could eavesdrop . Smart thinking right? 

Kyungsoo's voice was the first i heard, "I clearly spend more time with her and she is my Secretary's daughter. It is only right that i get her."

"She isn't property Kyungsoo, She can pick who she wants and i think by what she did today after you ripped her shoulder off is pretty ind evident as to who she wants." 

"I did no such thing." Simple and sweet Kyungsoo for you.

"Clearly you did. Didn't you see how she held her shoulder after you were gripping her? I clearly saw her wince as well." I heard a rustle of clothing and assumed Xiumin  crossed his arms. 

"Don't act like you care Minseok. You'll end up hurting her like all the other girls you've had in your life." 

I heard a small puff of air push pass Xiumin's lips before he spoke, "She's different Kyungsoo. Her innocence and playful manner pulls me in and how she does-" 

"What are you doing ma'am?"

I stood up and looked behind me to see a lady with 2 security guards behind her. I quickly let go of the door letting it slam and rushed away in fear. I opened the door to the stairs and took off down them to the parking lot with the men following me. I finally reached the bottom and saw the door to the lot. I pushed it open quickly  and rushed to hide behind a car. I held my breath as i heard them burst through the door.

"Where is she?" Said security 1

"I don't know. You go that way ill go this way." said Number 2. I quickly looked around to try to locate them. I saw the red car we came in but there was only one problem. 

It was on the other side of the lot. 

Security 1 and Security 2 were on either side and i felt like i was stuck in a action movie. My heart was pounding a mile a minute as i rushed from car to car. I almost got caught but i slid to the other side or in front of the car quick enough. I was only 3 cars away and i smiled triumphantly.  

I suddenly felt a hand grab my hair and rip me back making me fall onto my butt. 

"Where do you think you're going Spy?"

"What do you think you're doing to her is the real question."
