Jung Taek.

Jealous.

"I'm really sorry, babe. I just have to go. I need this bonus and you know that. I'll make it up to you this weekend, I promise," you pleaded over the phone.

"But you promised that you'd be home early too," Taekwoon started to sulk.

"I know...I know, things just didnt turn out that way. Its just an overnight project, see? I'll be back first thing in the morning and we'll have breakfast together. You have the rest of the week off, right? Straight till the weekend?"

"...yeah. Yeah okay."

And silent.

"Taekwoon, babe, I'm really sorry. I wanna be home too, with you since its really rare for you to have day offs but-"

"No, its okay. Just go. Have fun...or whatever," he mumbled.

"Hey, c'mon, dont be like that...I'm not doing this on purpose, okay? I just-"

"I said its fine. Just go, have fun. I dont care anyways."

And he hung up.

"She said she wanted to see me. And now she's not here," Taekwoon grumbled to himself as he sat on the couch.

He turned on the TV and browsed through the channels lazily. He sighed. He went to the kitchen and got the ice cream tub out. He took the chocolate flavoured one since he didnt want to touch your vanilla. He knows how you love them to death. He grabbed a spoon and went back to the couch. Slowly, he started to eat the ice cream.

"...I want to see her too, damn it," he sighed quietly to himself.

"I am so dead," you freaked out.

Grabbing a sticknote by your desk, you wrote down a few reminders and stuck it on the centre of your desk before leaving for an emergency meeting for a project.

"So you're staying overnight?" Your boss called out.

"Ah, yes sir," you nodded.

"That's more like it. Dont worry, this project will serve your paychecks well," he grinned, giving you a thumbs up.

You returned the gesture and speed-walked towards the conference room, a long sigh escaping your lips.

"Let's just get this over with."
○
"Ahhh! I am so tired!!!" You yawned as you stretched out your tired limbs.

It was 4.45 in the morning and your office section was buzzing with people. 15 people in total had to work overtime in order to finish the project, emergency cases all before 7am. The trashbin was filled with take-away containers and the tables by the pantry were crowded with papers and files. They even had to use the glass windows to work as a presentation board. You sighed.

"Almost there. Just a little more."

After 2 more hours, everyone was gradually finishing their parts and were printing the results at the speed of light. It was just when your boss walked in that everyone was done compiling the files and presentations.

"We're done!!!" A colleague of yours called out.

"Wow, you guys are amazing. No wonder people call you the monster section. I came in early to check up but you finished it just in time!" He praised the whole group.

Tired sighs of relief were heard throughout the section and your boss chuckled. He thanked everyone and gave a day off as a reward before leaving. You almost collapsed on the spot but remembering that you had a sulking kitten at home, you rushed to your desk. Within 5 minutes, you cleaned up the area and got ready to leave. You picked up the sticknote and practically ran out the door.
