Chapter 23: You and Me

Junhoe just left his things in his office before heading to the 7th floor where the swimming pool was. He was fidgeting on his way there thinking all the possibilities of this meeting with his dad. His dad was so quiet ever since they had their confrontation and he almost forgot about it, until today. He reached the 7th floor in no time and he saw Jinhwan preparing his stuff for his session, though his guest wasn't there yet.

"Hyung!" Junhoe called out even before he got close to where Jinhwan was.

"Oh, you're here. You don't really need to come, you know." Jinhwan joked and giggled to his boyfriend because Junhoe looked more nervous than him.

"What time did he say he'll meet you?" Junhoe impatiently asked.

Jinhwan shrugged and continued his routine. "I don't know. Maybe he'll just call me through his secretary. He didn't really give me any time."

"Send me a message once he calls you over to his office. Okay?" Junhoe demanded.

"Yah, Junhoe-ya. I can—"

"No. I'm not letting you go there alone. Please..." Junhoe's voice became vulnerable and Jinhwan just sighed and nodded.

"Okay. I'll call you. Now go to your office. You need to work." Jinhwan reminded his worried boyfriend to which Junhoe complied.

Couple of hours already passed and it was almost lunch time but Jinhwan wasn't called by the CEO yet. The more hours passed, the more he grew anxious. He knew very well how busy a CEO could be, but he wished he was called over already because the waiting was starting to kill him. He was already on his second guest and after that will be his break time.

Junhoe, on the other floor of the hotel, was also growing impatient. He couldn't focus on the papers in front of him. His mind wondered what his father could tell Jinhwan later. Like his lover, he wanted this to happen already, so they could stop guessing.

The couple's wish was then granted when at exactly 12PM, the female secretary went down on the 7th floor to fetch Jinhwan. The latter was relieved he ate his lunch right after his last session in the morning just to be prepared once he was called during his lunch break. This time, he thanked how good his timing was.

"U-uhm, can you give me a second? I forgot to close my locker. Sorry." Jinhwan excused and when the secretary smiled and nodded, he immediately went inside the locker room.

Of course, it was an excuse. He looked for his phone and send a message to Junhoe as quickly as he could before following the CEO's assistant to the elevator.

From: Nani <3

Now.

The one-word message made Junhoe stood up in split second and almost ran to his door. He used the exclusive elevator because it was faster than the ordinary one since only high-ranking officers can use it. His hands were starting to sweat, and his heart was pounding. He prayed that Jinhwan hadn't gone inside his father's office yet because he will be surely not allowed to barge in once Jinhwan was inside.

Junhoe sighed loudly in relief when Jinhwan and the secretary arrived at the floor almost the same time. He saw Jinhwan smiled in relieved, too, seeing him there.

The female assistant was clearly confused with Junhoe's presence, but since he was the son of her boss, she didn't mind him there.

"The CEO is waiting for you inside." She said and bowed to Jinhwan and Junhoe.

Jinhwan looked at Junhoe and took a deep breath before he nodded to his boyfriend as a sign that he was ready. Junhoe smiled at Jinhwan giving him the assurance that nothing will happen because he was there with him.
