5 - A Little Story

The ceremony offered a grand opening in the main hall, celebrating the main purpose of the occasion with some speeches as a starter by the host of the event. Though everything is looks like running smoothly, the event is actually a bit distracted and messed up. Every guest since from the start trying to show off among the flashiest but Taeyong stand out the best, and many wanted his attention.

In a meanwhile, Yuta is standing at the very corner of the hall, together with his assistant Jungwoo and some other people that he believed to be the other VIPs' secretaries or whatever position they are. Something is rather fishy with the arrangement, which totally kinda different or weird to be put in the same formal occasion. At least in Yuta's perception.

"Whoah, is this how formal occasion is being held? I thought, only the invited guests are allowed to be in this hall? What are we doing here?"

Jungwoo spitting the facts even though it's his first experience joining a formal occasion. Yuta swallows the air, hoping that he could answer him but not this time. He also confused and wondering, what's wrong with the order or rules of so called formal event. Jungwoo just shrugged before he speak another random stuffs and not forgetting to slip his boss's moments in his comment.

"Uwahh, our boss is really popular, he's totally occupied left and right. Aren't the guests interested in other things here like.. foods?"

Insensitive Jungwoo muttered out loud, care nothing to his surrounding and smoothly running his mouth as he please. He gets the attention as the other bystanders give an instant respond, barely holding back their laughter as soon as they heard his unintentional humour.

Once again Yuta lost in his own little world, completely drawn in his thoughts. His mind is occupied with something and it bothered him during the whole time. Only the moment Taeyong's name is mentioned in appreciation speech, Yuta instinctively has his eyes looking to the front only catching the same scenes that left him hurt earlier. It's sting.

"Are you okay, Yuta hyung? You look not so well."

It is not a surprise for the younger to express his concern to the older because Yuta unintentionally made it obvious. Jungwoo did notice the changes in his expression and the defensive mode yet vulnerable reaction of his beloved hyung. And Yuta scared of that, being the center of Jungwoo's attention.

"I'm fine. It's just I'm a bit tired. Sorry but I didn't hear you talking just now."

Yuta manage to brushes off Jungwoo's concern. However, he didn't expect Jungwoo's next words attacking his emotion indirectly by mentioning the man that he doesn't want to hear about especially right now.

"Oh.. I said that our boss is so touchy-feely with his friends over there. He really should control his habit when he's in public. Geez!"

"Ahaha, you're right. He should do that.... really."

The respond feels so lame and fake. Yuta laughs it off but it's painful, every word he said is coming back hurting him. Yuta sighs sharply, releasing the heavy feeling that started tightening on his chest and the younger didn't let it slip from his eyes, as if he knows something through his behaviour. And his worries grow as the younger is coming closer, scanning him with a suspicious look.

"Geez! What's wrong with them? Oh please, stop being too intimate in public! I got a second-hand embarrassment here!"

One of the bystanders is quite a blunt-spoken man, nagging continuously as he focusing at the main crowd. Their attention shifted to that person and Yuta let out a sigh of relief, thanking him for diverting Jungwoo's attention.

"Oops, sorry. I am talking about my boss over there. The one who's talking closely to your boss. I heard you talked about that person just now, so I'm guessing. Sorry."
