Undercover CEO

Chap#26

'Jaemin, set up dinner for Chan', Minghao muttered to a half asleep Jaemin.

Jaemin nodded in response. Rubbing his eyes, he disappeared out of the room.

'Chan-chan, go and wash up', Jeonghan said. He then sank into the arm chair beside him and again buried his face into his hand...and sighed.

Chan looked at Jeonghan and then at his brother, who to Chan's surprise seemed down too.

'Jeonghan hyung...something happened other than only Greil's death, right? I know something happened... don't hide it', Chan softly said to Jeonghan as he knelt down infront of him.

'Should I?', Jeonghan looked at Mingyu for assurance.

Mingyu nodded, slightly.

'So...', Jeonghan told him everything that happened.

'How are you planning to get him back, hyung?', Chan asked after Jeonghan finished.

'Let's see, I've planned something. Now, I can only hope for the best.'

'Yeah-', Chan was interrupted by Junhui,' Chan your dinner's ready, you can have it now.'

Then Junhui disappeared with Minghao up the stairs. Chan left too.

The living room was now occupied by three people : Minki who had earlier dozed off in the sofa where he was sitting, Jeonghan completely frustrated and Mingyu, who was looking at Jeonghan the while time.

'Jeonghan, may I ask you something?', Mingyu asked, sitting beside Jeonghan on a sofa.

'Yes.'

'Joshua's Jisoo, you know that right?'

Jeonghan, for some moments looked at Mingyu then replied,' Yes, I'm pretty sure he's Hong Jisoo.'

'The other day at Minghao's place he told us about his past but it hit me when he mentioned the fire-'

'Thank you.'

'Why? I- I mean what did I do?'

'You said to check the file that day, right or it would've been stayed there untouched.'

'Oh-'

Mingyu's sudden interruption was caused by some muffled shouting sound.

Jeonghan and Mingyu looked at
each other,' Mingyu, why is Junhui shouting?'

'I have no idea-'

Minghao's POV:

After calling Chan to dinner, I and Jun went to our room.

'You should get some rest or else your fever won't go down', I said to Jun as he sat on the corner of my bed.

'My fever's not that serious, stop worrying', Jun blurted.

'Anyways, I have some work for you.'

'What is it?'

'After the funeral tomorrow, go back to my place-'

'Wait, wait, HOLD UP-', Junhui was now standing infront of me,'I'm not leaving you here, understood!'

'You have to, you can't come with us tomorrow.'

'Why CAN'T I!?'

'Because I said.'

'YOU CAN'T DECIDE WHAT I'LL DO , I'M A FULLY GROWN ADULT. I HAVE THE RIGHT TO TAKE MY OWN DECISIONS-'

'Will you stop shouting? And no matter what happens you can't go!'

'What the hell!? I can't leave you alone there, your life will be at risk-'

'So will be yours, Jun. Please don't come with me.'

I thought I saw tears in Jun's eye; for the second time since we first met on that bridge.

But...before I could say anything further, Jun dashed out of the room, leaving me empty with the cold air that blew in through the open windows...

I don't wanna hurt you, Jun...why don't you understand?
