Baekho was like an interesting puzzle to Minhyun who loved to pick things apart as well. He wrapped his arms around Baekho who immediately flinched and pushed his way out from the other's hold. The other seemed nervous and Minhyun raised his brow.

"I brought you information. Can't I take my prize first?" he said with a sulk. Baekho frowned and poked his chest.

"You still owe me an interview too. Don't think you can just do it as you please all the time," Baekho grumbled in response and Minhyun sighed. He stepped away from Baekho and picked up a fallen chair to sit on.

"Fine. Ask away."

"Eh? You'll cooperate?"

"En. As long as I get to do what I want after." Minhyun took notice of the aquarium under Baekho's working desk and raised a brow. There were a few fishes inside and he unconsciously started following their movement with his gaze. Baekho hurriedly grabbed his notebook and pen before taking a seat.

"O-okay. Um..."

Minhyun shifted his gaze to Baekho and smiled. "Do you like fishes, Baekho?"

"Huh? I do. Wait, don't ask me questions. I'll forget what I want to ask," Baekho said in a flustered tone. Minhyun giggled, watching the reporter with amusement clear on his face.

"You can ask me anything at all."

"Right." Baekho looked at Minhyun and froze. One look at the male's face was enough to make him forget his questions too but he shook his head, trying to regain control of himself. "Do you still see yourself singing on stage in a decade?"

"A decade is a long time, Baekho. I don't know," He replied honestly but Baekho didn't seem satisfied with the answer since he was pouting. Minhyun scooted the chair forward, realising that Baekho didn't even take notice as he was scribbling his notes down. "I'll like to be singing but maybe I'll also like to finally settle down with someone I like."

"Huh?" Baekho looked at Minhyun, slightly distracted by the truth uttered by the pop star but it was only for a brief moment as he went back to writing. "I see. Would you be interested in other prospects of the entertainment world? Acting perhaps or... Maybe even a TV host?"

"Not really. I just like singing. I'm not particularly interested in anything else," Minhyun said and leaned in. Baekho blinked up and flinched when their faces were inches away from one another.

"Wh- Scoot back over," Baekho grumbled and gave him a little push with the pen on his shoulder. Minhyun chuckled but only came closer, pressing his lips against Baekho's neck. The reporter stiffened and pushed his shoulder back. "Minhyun, stop. You promised me this interview."

"I know but you're being so serious and it's just so attractive. Plus your questions are boring and I've heard them countless times," Minhyun whined and climbed onto Baekho who gasped. "Aren't you going to ask like how many people have I slept with before maybe? Or like something to do with Jonghyun?"

"The chair won't hold both of us!" Baekho complained as it creaked under their weight. Minhyun rolled his eyes and put a foot down to balance out the weight but grabbed Baekho's cheeks and pulled him into a kiss. His tongue already eagerly sliding across Baekho's lips but the reporter managed to hold back as he pulled Minhyun apart from him. "Stop it."

"Why do you keep playing so hard to get?" Minhyun sighed and placed his arms around Baekho while leaning downwards.

"Because I need to get my work done. I've got no time to play around like you do," Baekho sighed and rubbed his temples. Minhyun pouted and sat on Baekho's thighs, crossing his legs as well.

"Ah... You're no fun."

"I already told you that."

"Did you now?"

"You'll get bored of me eventually," Baekho mumbled and Minhyun leaned on him, placing an arm across his shoulders.

"Anymore questions that my sweet little reporter wants to ask?"

"Ugh. You're as distracting as you are annoying."

"I think you meant to say attractive but I forgive you," Minhyun giggled and tapped his nose. The intimacy wasn't helping Baekho but he tried to keep his cool.

"Would you..." Baekho bit his lower lip as Minhyun's hand was being naughty again. He shut his eyes and breathed in. "You consider opening your own- Hwang Minhyun!"

Baekho snapped and slapped his hand away from his groin. Minhyun smirked and hugged him instead.

"Ugh. Your own company. The more you distract me, the longer it'll take."

"Oh. So I get my prize if I'm obedient?"

Baekho sighed. He really didn't know how to handle Minhyun at all so he just nodded.

"But what if I can't?"

"Just answer the question," Baekho sighed, giving up.

"My own company, huh... That'll be a nice dream to have but I don't think so. After all, I'm not really into having such a large responsibility. I just want to do whatever I want and go on with life."

"I see."

"Is that everything?" Minhyun asked and gently placed soft kisses on his neck, his hand already finding the hem of Baekho's shirt. Baekho grabbed him and lifted him up to his feet, pushing a clear distance away from him. His face already burning bright red as he panted slightly.

"Last question, just why exactly are you being so clingy to me? I'm just a reporter and like you said, I could ruin you. So why... Why is it that no matter how hard I try to push you away, you just find a way to slide back in? I don't get you at all!" Baekho rubbed his eyes and ran his hand through his hair before sighing. "You have everything even if you're tired of life, Minhyun. You don't need someone like me in your life. You have fame... Money... Family. There's nothing attractive about me except... Except my body maybe."

Minhyun fell silent as he stared at the pale pink haired male who looked like he was on the verge of tears. Minhyun didn't know what he had done to suddenly bring upon such emotions but he felt a sting in chest.

"You should just go..."

"No," Minhyun said firmly and Baekho looked up at him. Brows creasing into a frown.

"Just go!"

"No!"
