Beomgyu's POV

I called out Ryujin's name, but she only stopped on her tracks, before continuing to walk away from the place or maybe me. I just sighed while looking towards the place where she went to, and messed up my hair.

But, instead of staying there, for a couple of minutes more, I decided that I should plan something. So, I can get her back, since I'm not used to this kind of setup. Especially, when it comes to Ryujin or any female friends of mine.

I left the place, and went to my Office. Once, I reached the place, I sat down on my chair, and started to think of something. I can feel both, of Yeonjun hyung's and Yeji noona's eyes, on me.

I looked at them, giving them both a glare, accompanied with my one of my eyebrows being raised. Which, they quickly went back to what they were doing earlier. I was still busy thinking of something, when a letter, caught my eye.

Instead, of thinking without anything that I can mix things up, I thought why not read a letter. But, as I was about read the letter, when I suddenly remembered all the letters that we sent each other.

'I got it!' I thought, and smiled.

I stood up from my seat, and went over to Yeonjun hyung. He looked at me, confused. "Uh, hey. Beomgyu? What's up?" He asked me.

But, then sarcasm started to kick in. "The ceiling." I said, which he just made an annoyed face.

"Haha. Very funny. Choi Beomgyu." He said, while book marking the page of the book he was reading.

He went over to the, bookshelf and started arranging it, in order. Since, it kind of looks likes a huge mess, to him. "Okay. I know you need something. Now. Spill it." He said, while returning the book to the bookshelf. Then, looked at me.

I quickly pouted at him. "You know me too well. Hyung." I said, and pouted more.

"Well. Who wouldn't? I have been guarding you for years now. So, it's natural for me to know you very well by now. So, I know all your crazy antics." He said, and put some kind of attitude on his face.

"Pssh... Okay. You caught me red handed. I was just going to ask you to get me the 'box'." I said to him, which he just made a surprised expression on his face.

"You mean 'the box'?" He asked, making sure whether he got it right or not. But, highlighted the words the box.

"Yes. I believe that's what I said." I said, and crossed my arms.

"Okay. I'm on it." He said, and playfully salutes at me. He quickly left the room, obviously to get the box, from my bedroom.

I looked at Yeji noona who looked so out of place right now. Since, Ryujin stopped writing letters to me, when Yeji noona came in, she doesn't know anything about the box or the letters.

She had this look on her face, as if she was asking for an explanation from me. But, I just ignored her and went back to my desk and started continuing to do all the paperwork.

***

After a couple of minutes, I was done with all the paperwork that I have been doing for quite some time already. And Yeonjun hyung was taking so much longer than usual. Usually, he would be back before I even know it.

But, now? It's taking him so long. I stood up from my seat and was about to go to the door, when it suddenly swing open. Both me and Yeji noona looked at the source and saw Yeonjun hyung sweating a lot.
