Wooseok went to the very large food bar with many variations of snacks and such. The table was littered with colorful food items that it stands out in the whole rich and dark themed party area. As much as how the lovely colors call for attention, only a few were here in about getting a snack for themselves. Which Wooseok took as a surprise since this food bar is very much distracting, or maybe he was just hungry?

He surveyed the table, looking for a meal that he will enjoy. And there it was, basking in its glory, as if it was even glowing on its own, here in the array of edibles it stands strong in a pilar with layers. It wasn't just an ordinary stand, it was its throne, a throne that any worthy dessert would fight for.

Its edible tray shows crispiness, although what texture it holds is soft, almost daring. Cream with the right amount of glucose and releases a hint of vanilla is filled to the brim, topped with finely sliced pieces of the freshest fruits. It's the dessert that deserves the throne, the dessert that won them all: The Fruit Tart.

Wooseok can't believe that the writer of this story really full-heartedly described a fruit tart. It was perfectly bite-size, and indeed fresh. 'Fruit tart it is...' thought Wooseok. The first tart went in Wooseok's mouth and holy moly it was great. Wooseok struggled to suppress a moan of delight by the tasty tart. While enjoying, a minty-haired guy approached him.

"Hey-" Wooseok raised his hand, he still had something in his mouth. The boy, who was actually with Yanan earlier and is probably a bodyguard of his, waited patiently for him to swallow his food. Finally finishing the delicacy, he turned his attention to the boy.

"Hey." Wooseok greeted, putting his hands into his pockets to seem cool. The boy eyed him for a moment with the hint of confusion, as if he sees Wooseok as someone who is out of place. "So, you're with Mr. Jo huh?" Wooseok raised a brow, "Yeah-, and you're with Mr. Yanan?" Said Wooseok, bluntly.

"Yeah, I'm his second in command. If you know what I mean- Oh, my name is Kang Hyunggu by the way" The person that is named 'Hyunggu' offered his hand towards Wooseok for the classic handshake, Wooseok then accepting. "But people call me Kino..." He muttered.

"How about the other one?" Wooseok asked as he stared down at the sunshine blondie who was talking it up with a few richass peeps. Kino looked at where he was looking and released a small 'oh' when he saw who 'other one' Wooseok was talking about. "Yeo Changgu, secretary." Damn he looks like a much more better secretary than Wooseok.

"You?" Kino finally asked.

"Jung Wooseok."

"And you are Mr. Jo's..?"

"Secretary..." Wooseok hesitated with saying the second part, "...and his boyfriend." Kino had his eyes wide, jaw dropping low. But he quickly fixed his posture, dusting off imaginary dust off his suit. "Well that was... certainly unexpected of Mr. Jo." He scratched the back of his neck, Wooseok in the other hand raising a brow.

"Well- for all I know, Mr. Jo's type has always been rich and intelligent men." Wooseok squinted his eyes on the boy while he looks at him with such a neutral expression that it's hard to tell if he feels bad or is subtly taunting Wooseok's whole being. "Are you calling me poor and stupid?"

"Maybe..." Kino said innocently before leaving him to be alone again. But before disappearing entirely, he turned around quickly to say one thing, "But hey- at least you're handsome!" Kino said while smiling cheekily at the tall lad that is still glaring at him before going.

With Jinho's name being thrown around and about in his latest conversation with a person, his back went rigid when he is supposed to be with Jinho. Damn, food really has a knack on making him forget things- important things. He looked around the room, doing so, he spotted his boss being dragged away to a large fancy double door.
