"Jungwoo."
"Yes?"
"Nothing, I just like calling your name." He gently caressed my hand while looking down at me. The room felt hot.
"It's pretty warm in here." He started to strip. My entire body felt as if it was on fire.
"You should strip a bit too. You're practically sweating." He started to take off my clothes as well. I lived for every second.
"You look so good, Jin..."
"Is there something you want, Woo?" I locked lips with Jinho then pulled him down on top of me. Of course there was something I wanted. Him.

I shot up in bed then covered my mouth. I frantically shook my head in hopes of permanently dispersing the thoughts. I checked under the covers then groaned. "Shit." I was still hard.

ㅅㅅㅅㅅㅅㅅ

I arrived at work and greeted everyone as I usually did. Except Jinho. I couldn't look him in the eye after that lewd dream. I felt I had violated him despite him coming onto me first. I groaned loudly as I wanted the day to end quickly. A message notification had appeared. Jinho had asked where his morning greeting was. I sent him one through text then saw he had replied quickly. I pulled my hair as he wanted me to do it in person.

I poked my head in then stepped in fully. "You're here." I kept my head low in fear of images resurfacing. "Good morning, Jinho." "Could you lift your head?" "No." "Why?" "It's nothing serious." I quickly left before it turned into an interrogation. "Jungwoo." He pulled me back in by my wrist.

"Look at me." I sighed then looked him in the eyes. The dream Jinho came to mind, so I quickly averted my gaze. "You okay?" "Yep." "Did you not sleep well?" My mind flashed back to the dream and I stepped back a bit. "I slept pretty well. I swear I'm okay." I couldn't stop thinking about it, him and the lewd noises. "If you say so." "Jinho." "Hm?" "I'm uh, leaving early. I have something important going on later..." "Alright." I thanked him then hurriedly left the room. It felt so wrong, but so right.

ㅅㅅㅅㅅㅅㅅ

I quietly packed up then double checked that I had everything. "Leaving early?" "Oh, Shin." I hadn't seen him all day, so I figured he must've took the day off. "Is there anything I can do to help?" "Not really...but I appreciate the thought." He looked like he had more to say. "Is something on your mind, Shin?" "I hear you like Mr. Jo. In a romantic way." I was going to speak up until he held his hand up in the air. "Don't get mad at Ten. I was the one who pressured him into telling me. You don't tell me anything anymore." I sighed as I walked over to him. "There isn't really anything you both can do. That's why I kept quiet." I felt bad, but I didn't see the point in getting them involved. "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

ㅅㅅㅅㅅㅅㅅ

I quietly worked then wondered what Jinho was currently doing. Was he working too hard? Had he eaten? Was there something that needed to be double checked? Did he need a shoulder rub? I couldn't help but worry about him. I shouldn't have left as I was simply causing myself unnecessary worry. I sent him a text asking if he had eaten already. I frowned as he responded with a simple "yeah." I sighed then tossed my phone aside. "So cold hearted..."

ㅅㅅㅅㅅㅅㅅ

I rubbed my eyes as my phone rang in the dead of night. "Who the hell is calling so late...?" I picked up the phone then noticed it was coming from the business phone. "Jinho?" I quickly answered then reached over to turn on the lamp. "I hope I didn't wake you." "Well, you did, but it's fine. May I ask why you called so late?" He was quiet. "Jinho?" "Can we go for a drive?" Something was probably bothering him, but it made me wonder why he wanted to meet in person. "Sure. Let me know when you're close." He then hung up. I couldn't figure out what could possibly be a problem that he'd want to talk about.

ㅅㅅㅅㅅㅅㅅ

My phone vibrated, signaling that Jinho had arrived. I took the stairs down then saw a familiar colored car sitting out front.

"Thanks for this, Jungwoo. I know I'm taking away precious sleep." I shook my head as I buckled my seatbelt. "I don't mind. You are my boss, so I should be prepared for anything." I looked at him as he didn't reply back. Was I out of line? "Hey, remember when I asked if you liked someone, Woo?" "Vaguely..." The car turned. "I think...I think I'm starting to like someone." I hid my face from sight as my heart was pierced in multiple areas. "Isn't this something you'd tell Hui and not me?" "Why not you? We're pretty close." If only he knew that it was causing me pain. "Well, I'm happy for you."

The hum of the car was the only sound heard as we traveled down the highway. Of all times for him to like someone, it had to be during the growth of my own feelings. It felt so cliché, predictable even. There wasn't much I could do at this point now. "Do you mind opening the glove compartment?" I opened it and saw a familiar box inside. "Is this...?" "I really want you to have it..." I looked at him then back at the box. I rejected it before as it only increased my friend status. I didn't want that. "Jinho, I appreciate the thought-" He pulled over then put on his hazard lights. "Hand it over." I placed the box in his hand then watched him take out the necklace.

He took off his seatbelt and mine as well. "Turn your back to me." What did he plan to do that I couldn't watch? I sat quietly with my back to him. I felt something cold touch my neck and caused me to look down. "He's putting it on me..." I briefly palmed the hanging key before turning to look at him. "Jinho...?" "Think of it as the key to my life." "Key to your life...?" "Yeah. You know, you get access to my life and such." I couldn't help the chuckles that escaped my throat. Jinho was beyond cute, adorable even. "Then I'll treasure this key." He quickly looked away from me and made me wonder why.
