"Place it here." Chan said to a maid who was walking around with a big flower bouquet in her hands.
"Chan-ah, you should take a break. You've been working for last four hours continuously." Mrs. Hwang said entering Hyunjin's room.
"I want it to be perfect for him, mother." He smiled at his mother-in-law who chuckled at his reply.
"I know but don't overwork yourself." She said and patted on Chan's shoulder.
"Yes, mother." Chan nodded before picking up the bottle of water near him. He opened the cap and drank slowly, every sip making him realize how thirsty he was. He looked around and saw that everything was going according to the plan.

It is 20th today, that is Hyunjin's eighteenth birthday and Chan wanted to do everything in his ability to make this day perfect for Hyunjin who was at school. Hence, both of boys' parents were there planning a party for Hyunjin. The younger may not talk to him or treat him nice sometimes but he still wants to get along with the person he is gonna marry after two days.

"Sir. We need you to sign here." A worker called him from the side. Chan turned around and looked at the delivery boy. He smiled and thanked him for his service.
"I don't have a pen. Do you have one?" he asked using honorifics, knowing that the other person was older than him.
"No, I will bring it from my car."
"Wait. Mother!" He called Mrs. Hwang who was helping him supervise everything.
"Yes?" She turned around.
"I need a pen." He told her and looked at her expectantly. Chan did not want the middle-aged delivery guy to run back to his car just to bring him a pen. He could just go along with him but he didn't want to leave the room as well.

"Just open Hyunjin's study table's drawer. You will find one."
"Thank you." He smiled and walked towards the table, bending down slightly to open the wooden drawer. The delivery boy followed him quickly to get done with his job. Chan opened the drawer and shuffled with the papers to find a pen, to his luck he found one under an envelope. He placed the papers on the table to get a support while signing them.

"Here." He said before handing the papers back to the delivery man. The man in return said his goodbye and left. He turned around to keep the pen back at it's place while thinking if there's something he was forgetting. He opened the drawer and kept the pen inside. He was going to close the door back but the yellow envelope caught his attention, more likely, the text written on the envelope caught his attention.

'Some sweet pictures for my beautiful baby' Chan looked at it suspiciously. Chan knew he should not be looking at Hyunjin's personal stuff or touch them, but the text was very disturbing for him. However, Chan decided to shrug it off thinking that it was from one of Hyunjin's friends but for one what kind of friend would write a text like that and second, Hyunjin doesn't have friends. That day as well, when Minhyuk said that they've been friends, Chan was very confused because Hyunjin's father told him about Hyunjin not having any friends.

Curiosity got the best of him and he picked up the envelope. He was loathing himself for doing such stuff. He didn't like the fact that he was touching someone's stuff without their consent but he was just curious. He hid the envelope under his tuxedo coat the best he can before turning around.

"I'll be back in a few." He told his Mother-in-law who was standing a few feet away and walked towards the bathroom slowly, also making sure that no one sees the bulge under his coat. It would be so embarrassing if someone finds out.

He opened the door of the bathroom and entered inside. He instantly locked the door behind him before walking towards the toilet seat and closing the lid. He sat down and took out the envelope from under his coat. He sighed feeling extremely shameful from his act, but that didn't stop his hands from pulling out the pictures from the envelope. Unfortunately, those were the picture Minhyuk had been blackmailing Hyunjin with.
