It was Tuesday morning and was yet another day that his boss hadn't gone into work. Jeno was missing as well which kind of concerned Donghyuck, but he tried not to put too much thought into it. And plus, it was almost exhilarating to have to run the office for a while.

The redhead was running around while handing papers to employees and spreading information to higher officials. It was exhausting work to say the least. But lunch break was soon approaching and Donghyuck's stomach was growling like crazy by now.

After handing out the last few papers for the meantime, Donghyuck smiled upon seeing the time. He could finally rest and get some food. So he ran downstairs and into the lobby, walking up to a vending machine that had cold sandwiches and drooling at the sight.

He happily ate the turkey sandwich while staring out the window, watching as the weather slowly began to turn more grey and ugly looking. The outside world was so mysterious and entrancing. He really enjoyed having moments to himself like this, just letting his mind wonder and his eyes study the outside world.

But someone interrupted this moment of peace, clearing their throat to get Donghyuck's attention.

"Yes?" the redhead said as he peered upwards, recognizing the man with black hair and gold highlights to be someone he has consulted with before.

The man bowed and handed a piece of paper over to the other. "This is a letter addressed to you. I unfortunately don't know any information about where it came from, but it has your name inscribed into the envelope."

Donghyuck took the letter and studied it closely, only seeing his name written on the front. He assumed it was most likely from someone in the office seeing as how it contained no address.

"Thank you," Donghyuck smiles and nods but the man didn't move, instead he only stood there looking like something was on his mind.

"You alright?"

The man locked eyes with the other and seemed to be bothered. "Y-yes, I was just wondering..."

Donghyuck raised an eyebrow at the following silence, noticing the man's cheeks had now tinted themselves red.

"Wondering?"

"W-would you maybe like to meet for dinner tonight? I've seen you around work a lot but have never gotten to know you... and I'd l-like to..," the man stuttered, now scratching the back of his neck and staring out the window.

Donghyuck felt something in his chest tighten as he stared at the other. Honestly, he hasn't really noticed the dark haired around the office and didn't even remember his name. But how could he not? He was a very attractive male and had eyes that could make anyone fall. The redhead smiled toothily and couldn't refuse such a cute offer.
