The last 3 days before the bidding was filled with endless work and preparation that 72 hours flew by in a snap. It was finally the big day. Seonghwa had 4 of his employee standing behind him and just like Yunhee promised, she went along with them. She was glad the other head of department had brought someone with them as well so she didn't stick out like a sore thumb.

It was right before the meeting started, when the man had pulled her into a hallway, away from the crowd that was going on. Her eyes widened upon feeling the grip on her wrist and as she felt a strong arm engulfing her in a hug. She was about to scream for help when the scent radiating off his dress shirt entered her nose and finally was she able to relax into his embrace. She wrapped her arms back around his torso, rubbing his back gently with her palm.

"Are you nervous?" she asked, stupidly.

He nodded slightly, his face still buried in the crook of her neck. "Trust me, Hwa. The meetings you've attended with them, the banquet, Mr. Kim's visit, all of them have gone well. You're going to get this project signed under your name."

He finally pulled away as she finished. Yunhee could see the dark circle under his eyes, the bags carrying the weight of the whole Treasure company. She gave him a small reassuring smile before going up and pecking his lips. "I know you're tired, I know all of these are wearing you out but you'll just have to be able to push through the next few hours and your hard work will pay off. You got this, okay?"

He shut his eyes momentarily, hands still resting gently around her waist before he once again showed her his beautiful brown hues, "I love you," was all he managed to say. To say he was exhausted would be an understatement. Seonghwa felt like he could crumple down to the floor at any moment now. The only thing keeping him on his feet is the girl standing before him.

"I love you too, Hwa. Now, go. Show them how great our company is." The corner of his lips lifted up slightly before he leaned in forward, giving her a light kiss for a mere second before pulling away.

"Can you tell me again?" he timidly requested, "that I got this?"

With a soft smile resting on her visage, she slowly brought her hands up to cup his cheeks, "you got this, Park Seonghwa."

They had to go to two different ways after. Seonghwa went up the floor to the meeting room awaiting his arrival and Yunhee could only sit by the lounge area with the other employees. The lad could feel his energy slowly rising up when he reached for the door and open it for him and 4 others trailing behind.

He was used to the vibe coming out of the walls surrounding them- tension, fake smiles, forced-laughter- Each time the CEO of LOTTO tried to lighten up the mood, it only gets heavier. Yellow Wood didn't come to play at all and Christopher Bang answered each of the question directed to them in a manner that was too stern for Seonghwa. The determination possessed by the latter had scared him.

When the meeting finally came to an end, he could feel his energy draining out once again. All of them were used up to answer questions he could barely remember a second after it was uttered. The moment he stepped out of the room, there were no more recollection of what he had said inside.

Seonghwa had 30 minutes before the CEO of LOTTO would announce who he'll choose to work with for this project. He had 30 minutes before he would either make the girl he loves, proud of him, or disappoint her of his failure. Little did he know, Yunhee would be there with open arms to tell him he did a good job even if he lost.
