"Who's that?" Jaebum asks, his head turning to me.

I gesture him to zip his mouth, but I could already feel that something huge is about to happen tonight.

[Is that a voice of a man? Dae Young where are you, and who is that?]

Chan asks under the line, making me somewhat nervous with his tone. It was concerned, but what overwhelmed me was the deepness and pissed off tone.

"I'm at my condo, don't worry." I assure him.

[With?] Chan asks.

"Um...Jaebum." I admit, as I lean towards Jaebum who was making his way to the kitchen while scratching his head.

[You're alone with a guy at this hour?] He asks.

"Yes. What's wrong with it?" I ask, putting a hand on my hip.

The line was dead silent.

[I'm coming over, I don't trust him.]

He says, making me raise an eyebrow, chuckling uncomically.

"Woah, slow down. He's my bestfriend and my lawyer, of course you can trust him." I say, then checking up on Jaebum who was eating one of the cake slices Chan bought.

He wasn't using a fork.

Gross.

[Him? But he was drunk the moment I saw him.] Chan says, making me release a sigh.

"I've known him since highschool. I can trust him my whole life. You can too. Actually, why are you concerned about that?" I ask, crossing my arms.

I was talking to Chan yet I was glaring at Jaebum who was hoarding the fridge, eating my strawberry cake. I was planning to do the report today, but it seems like I have to take care of guy named Im Jaebum tonight.

[You'll know soon time.] His voice suddenly turns smooth and relaxed.

This guy's weird.

"Alright...But...You really don't have to worry. He's definitely someone to trust." I say, then glancing over to the guy again and now he's rummaging over my fridge again.

This guy's audacity!

I grit my teeth, in hopes of making me feel calm since I'm talking to THE CEO here. The top of the work pyramid in my workplace. But Jaebum isn't helping when he's practically stealing my whole fridge and shoving food in his mouth.

[Okay, then. I'll call you later or tomorrow-]

Chan says, then pauses, as if something came into his mind.

[Goodnight, Dae Young.]

He says, his tone sincere and serene. Somehow, it made my heart melt and my stomach suddenly fill itself with butterflies.

"Um..Goodnight...Chan." I find myself smiling, then hang up. I put my phone back inside my side pockets, then glancing at Jaebum who was holding a carton of milk.

"I need to get to sleep, sadly. I have to do a few things tomorrow wince the trial would be next week. Mind if I drink some of the milk?" He asks, making me pinch my nose bridge.

"You really needed to ask when you practically ate half of what'a in the fridge."

He smiled sheepishly.

"I'll leave early tomorrow so that Yeonwoo doesn't kill me on her bed." He says, then grabs a glass to pour himself a glass of milk.

It gets silent for a few moments, until a sudden thought spills out of my mind.
