*Minho POV*

I sigh as I spread my limbs across my bed. I look out the window at the dark night. My life is so boring. All I do is sit at a computer and type articles, others would kill for that but I was really hoping to write things about celebrities. Then after that I work a convenience store, all I do is just sit there waiting for something to happen, anything. Sometimes I spice it up by counting how many hours its been since someone last came in and bought something, or I'll try to guess what someone will buy.

My alarm beeps aggressively beside me forcing me to open my eyes. I find myself in the same position I was in when I first flung myself on my bed last night. The red sun shines brightly through the blinds, it was like the world was on fire. I turn off my alarm off and sit up. I look down at my light blue ripped jeans and grey sweatshirt, I guess I really did fall asleep like this. I pick up the pride flag that fell during the night and re-hang it on the wall. I run my fingers through my hair as I crack my neck. Today was like any other day except I didn't have to go the convenience store and sit for hours, I am going to treat myself to some sweets.

I sit on the subway with my earbuds in, my phone in one hand and my coffee in the other. I look at the people around me standing quietly on their phones or just look off in the distance. At the next stop Felix and Changbin will be getting on and I will be leaving. They both have exciting jobs, they get to work at JYP, I don't know what they do but they enjoy it. I think Changbin is a producer and Felix is a choreographer. My friends work at the same building as me but I don't see them often. The train groans to a slow stop signaling me to get off the train. I join the crowd and squeeze my way out. I wave to Changbin and Felix as they get on. They wave back both giving me a quick smile before claiming a seat. I climb the stairs and pass through the gate and out into the cool spring morning. I take a sip of my coffee before making my way to work. 

As I sit down at my desk I look around me at my coworkers happily working on their articles. I set my coffee down next to me and take one earbud out of my ear knowing that someone is going to be talking to me soon. I turn on my computer and open up the article I'm working on. In bold letters across the top says "American Culture", it was a fairly interesting article to write but it took a long time. As I add the finishing touches my boss walks over for his daily talk thats supposed to motivate us. He claps once to gain our attention. 

"Alright everyone, I wont bore you with another speech but I do have any announcement" He says. I groan while everyone claps. He waves to his left signaling for someone or something. A slim guy with a squirrel like face, raven black hair, golden skin, and eyes that seem cold yet warm at the same time comes out. He's wearing all black, he's really attractive. I join in with the girls squealing over him. 

"I hope he's near me!" One says excitedly. I hope he's near me.

"Hello, my name is Han Jisung. I will be joining you, I hope we can be friends" He says with a quick bow. He glances at me and flashes a quick smile. My heart melts and I feel my face heat up. 

"You will be next to Minho over there" My boss says gesturing to the empty seat next to me.

"Thank you, sir" he says bowing before sitting down next to me. 

"I'm Lee Minho, nice to meet you" I say holding my hand out for him to shake. He smiles and nods as he shakes my hand.

"Nice to meet you too, I'd hate to be a bother but can you show me around the building?" He asks politely.

"Yeah, of course. Let me just submit this article first then I can show you around" I say my heart beating fast. While I get ready to print my article he drops character and starts inspecting my desk. His eyes were cold and the smile that was once there disappeared.

"I just need to print this" I say getting up.

"Okay, do you mind if I come with you so I can see where it is?" he asks getting back into character. I'm suspicious of him but for some reason I know I can trust him.

"Minho" My boss says sneaking up behind me.

"Yes, sir?" I reply.

"Have you finished?" He asks looking me dead in the eyes with a serious look.

"Yeah, I was just about to go print" I say.

"Email it to me instead, we are running low on ink" He says. I nod and sit back down at my desk. Jisung fiddles with his phone while I send the email. 

"Alright, lets go" I say standing up.

"Alright" He responds happily.

"Sir, I sent you the article. I'm going show Jisung around" He says. He gives me a thumbs up from behind his computer. He continues to type away as we walk away. 

"So, what brought you here?" He asks as we make our way down the hall near the cafeteria.

"I like writing, but to be honest I wish is was a in a different branch" I say.

"Can I ask what branch?"

"It's kind of embarrassing but I wish I was writing about celebrities" I respond shyly.

"No, I don't think so" He says.

"Well, what about you?" I ask

"Change of scenery. I enjoy writing like you but, I wasn't happy where I was. I got tired of writing news papers for small towns" He says, that was a lie. I could tell he was lying, after all my experience of interviews and research I can tell when someone is lying. I nod my head and don't say another word until we get to cafeteria.

"This is the cafeteria, I don't eat here. I personally don't like the food so I go out to eat or I make my own food" I say. He peaks in through the window then looks at me.

"Anyway, bathrooms are down that way" I say pointing behind me. I lead him back down the hall that we just came from but past the desks. 

"These are the elevators and stairs. It's not an interesting place but we are working on redecorating" I say. He nods and smiles not really caring. He follows me back to the office. Theres something about him that I just cant place.
