It's been a week since Ten has disappeared and Taeyong is trying to pull himself together. He's been going through the motions, attending classes and working at the cafe in hopes that Ten will show up and say he was wrong and he can't live without him but his hopes are dashed every time the door dings and it's not him.
Yuta and Johnny are doing their best to try to find him, they put all the best men they know in charge of looking and when all is lost they all will go search the alleyways in hopes to find him sleeping there.
Renjun made it through his first therapy session and Johnny was there for him just like he said he would be. He did need ice cream and cuddles that day, it's hard to share this stuff with a stranger. When he told Johnny about it he felt a sense of comfort and familiarity with him so it was easier. Now knowing someone else knows, he can't decide if that's good or bad.
Yuta and Sicheng are doing good too, although they have focused their energy on helping Taeyong at the moment they still find time for each other. It's not always about sex, when Yuta even just sees his face he feels content. Sicheng has started coming back to work and he's been going to school as well, so for the most part life is getting back to normal."Sir we have that meeting today." Johnny greets as he enters Yuta's office with barely a knock.
"Ooh, it must be an important one since you're being formal with me. You don't talk like that unless you're troubled so what is it?" Johnny sighs, looking down. He knows it's the absolute worse timing for this but Yuta did bring it on himself.
"We are meeting with that man, Jack Johnson. The one who is going to be joining business with us?" Yuta looks at him puzzled until it hits him and as Johnny expected he covers his face with his hands and sighs deeply.
"Shit! I forgot all about this. And before you ask I do deeply regret getting involved here." Johnny just nods in understanding.
"Please check your emails to see the protocol for what we're supposed to do. They sent it over yesterday." Yuta proceeds to click his email open to read the instructions. After doing so he looks up to Johnny concerned.
"Where is the first meeting set? We need to be able to see where they are all hidden, so we can't blow our cover too early." The knock on the door surprises both of them, but Johnny is quick to answer.
"Hello, I'm Mark Lee, I'm the undercover officer in charge of assisting you. Right now we are going to set up a wire system in here, nothing major just a small listening device to catch anything said in the office that might be of use. Also I am going to be fitting you with a wire for if and when you get pulled aside, you are the boss here so I think you'll be the one he talks to most." Yuta adjusts in his seat uncomfortably, only now realizing what a stupid idea this was. Why didn't he just tell the man no and he done with it? Nope he had to be a hero.
"Do you want some coffee or anything? Johnny will you go put some on?" He nods, leaving the room.
"So, we want this to run as smoothly as possible so you need to cooperate with the plan to a T. Nobody, other than you and Johnny knows about this. You cannot tell anyone, even in your close groups of friends and family." Yuta gulps, this is going to be harder than I thought.
"I sent you a guideline to follow, on my way here so check your email when we're done with all this." He puts a few bugs around his office then goes to Yuta and instructs him to take off his shirt and lower his waistline, he seems nothing but professional so why not? Yuta thinks. He's very uncomfortable with this persons hands on him, which he finds interesting since before Sicheng he wouldn't have minded a bit.
He's facing the wall as Mark is trying to get everything set when the door creaks open. Not recognizing the face Mark does the only thing he can think of and plants his lips on Yuta's. The latter squirms in his hold but a quick pinch to the side tells him to cooperate.
"Oh um excuse me." Comes a timid voice that Yuta recognizes in an instant. Yuta quickly shoves Mark off of him and tries to go to him to explain but Mark beats him to it and introduces himself.
"Hi, um nice to meet you. I'm Yuta's boyfriend, Mark. He starts to walk toward the other but he backs away and leaves without a word.
Yuta is in a state of shock at the moment even as Mark goes back to fixing the wire.
"Hey, why was Sicheng in the hall crying? Is everything ok?" Johnny asks as he walks in with the coffee.
"Shit." Yuta snaps out of it.
"Why the fuck did you tell my, my um lover that you were my boyfriend?" Yuta practically shouts. Mark just shushed him and finished up. When he notices the pissed off looking pair in the room he decides to explain.
"We have to be close for this investigation to work, we will be together for a while and it has to look natural. I'm sorry for hurting your friends feelings but there is nothing I can do about it." The word friend pulled at his heart, now he can't even hold that title with Sicheng. He's going to hate me so much, Yuta thought.
When Mark finally left Johnny literally has to hold himself back from punching Yuta in the face.
"This is so fucked." He states glaring at the other.
"DONT YOU THINK I KNOW THAT? FUCK!" He screams as loud as he can.
"What am I gonna do? Oh my god oh my god." He dropped to his knees and sobbed, as Johnny felt pity on him he went over and engulfed him in a hug.
"I-I was going to tell him that I love him. I was going to wait until we found Ten, for everything to be normal and happy again. I want him to know how much I love him but now, now he thinks I used him and I can't tell him otherwise until this is over and what if he doesn't believe me? What if I never get to see him again?" Johnny continues to hold him until he is somewhat calm again.
"I know this is hard, but you need to put on your game face now. Mr. Johnson is coming up at any moment. Yuta nods and stands to collect himself.
"Do me a favor, I'm no longer your friend. Just your boss. They are all gonna hate me but don't let them hate you too. I need you to watch over him for me, please." Johnny nods and hugs him one more time.
"We'll get through this, everything will be fine."
