"What? Psshh, No way, I just dropped something under this table and tried to pick it up. Here it is, okay then he he" I nervously said when he caught me under the table.

"You picked something up and heard everything we said but didn't stand up so we could see you?" Jimin said.

I pulled my knees closer to my face. "Ehehehe well, I wasn't technically hiding" I said. "Let's have a more understandable conversation while you're out of this table" Jimin said. He offered his hand for me to take but I was hesitating.

I ended up taking it and he helped me out of the table. I tripped on the leg of my chair and Jimin caught me. My hands were on his shoulders and his hands were tight on my waist.

We were stuck in that position until we heard a sound.

Jimin and I glanced at Sungjae and realized he took a picture of us. Jimin helped me back properly on m feet "Sorry" he said. "It's alright, it's better if we talk where my assistant isn't there" I said out loud. "Yah! I can still hear you!" Sungjae shouted at us and we chuckled.

Jimin and I went to the balcony at the end of the hallway. "Why'd you come?" I asked. "To check up on you, you only said thank you and didn't say if you were feeling fine or you were sick so I got worried. But when I got here, your assistant told me you were sick and didn't come to work, I suddenly got more worried" Jimin said, sounding frustrated.

"I'm sorry you had to worry about me, but I can take care of myself" I said. "That's what you always said in high school, but every time we'd leave you for a long time, you'd get sick. Why do you think we made sure someone was always with you?" Jimin was scolding me.

He had a point, every time I was away from them, I'd get hurt or get sick but I didn't realize why someone was always with me.

"I don't know if that has changed or not because I don't know what happened to you at all for 5 frickin' years" Jimin pulled his hair in frustration and all I could do was feel guilt and shame for myself. I placed my hand on his shoulder while he was leaning on the railings of the balcony.

"Jimin, If you're thinking that this is your fault, don't. Because I was the coward that ran away from you and the guys" I said. "What?" Jimin asked. "Even after graduation, I would see you guys walking around the streets together but I'd run away because I was scared, scared of showing my face to you guys" I said with my voice cracking.

"Why would you do that?" Jimin asked and tears were threating me to fall. "Bceause I liked you! I was scared you'd figure out any sooner and ran away" I shouted then ran back to my office and locked the door. I sat at my desk then cried there. "Are you alright Chorong?" Sungjae asked. I took out a small card from my drawer and said "tell the chief we're going to the party. I need a drink".

Sungjae's eyes widened in shock "are you sure? What happened?". "It doesn't matter what happened, just make sure Park Jimin can't enter my office" I said. Sungjae nodded, knowing he can't beat me because I'm his boss and he's my assistant.

At the Company Party.....

I just sat at the bar while my co-workers were dancing on the dance floor. I used the excuse of coming to the party so I can drink.

"Chorong! Why aren't you on the dance floor" asked one of my workmates. "I'm good" I said, I could tell he was already drunk because his cheeks were really red and he wasn't walking straight.

I sighed then my phone was ringing off the hook. I checked my phone.
