the fact that there's also a petition for little sushi's name asdjks you guys really are something 😔

finally finding time to have a walk in the park, since he doesn't get enough sleep these past days because of how preoccupied he is with his thoughts and thus making him to wake up late all the time, xiaojun was grumbling while kicking a pebble he had just randomly found.

his head was aching but he just thought it was the cause of how he had been thinking a lot of things lately.

it definitely didn't come across his head that he ran under the rain last night just to get home. hansol couldn't come to get him and there was hendery, being nice for once and offering him a ride, but he didn't want to be stuck alone with him anymore. much more inside a car, a lot could possibly happen. also, he had to be somewhere during that night, asking xiaojun to just wait in his office till he arrives back. the secretary didn't want to be a burden to him and so, he ran out and didn't even get to tell anyone that he left.

but that wasn't the reason as to why he was complaining, ❝that guy had the guts to tease me!❞ that was it. he scoffed, motioning his hands to places out of frustration. he also got looks from kids, adults, and even dogs, but he didn't mind them. ❝teasing a confident xiao dejun.❞

confident? well, yeah. he is confident as heck but he didn't know how on earth his confidence would be easily broken down to pieces when it comes to dealing with hendery. it was as if his flirting skills never existed at all. it all works well with yangyang, why can't it work on that ceo of his?

❝close the door when you leave.❞ xiaojun mocked his voice, still kicking the pebble to show how irritated he is because of his ceo. ❝of course i would close the door when i will leave. what does he think i was thinking? close the door because we'll be baking pies inside that office of his?❞

he groaned in annoyance while messing up his hair, not finding the sense into what he was saying already.

but then he had his face burning up and immediately buried it down to the palm of his hands when he remembered what he actually was thinking during that time. ❝i actually thought we were going to do it.❞

the thought of it just made him go insane, not to mention the tension between them heating up.

❝i'm now talking to myself.❞ whining, he removed his hand from his face, ignoring the fact that he could literally feel how hot his temperature was. ❝i'm crazy—❞

"bella!"

the familiar voice made xiaojun widen his eyes but before he could see the cute guy's face clearly, he was being easily stumbled back by a beagle dog that came running towards him. he groaned real loud at how the land must have caused him back pain, or it's just a side effect of being slammed to the wall dozens of times.

whatever the reason is, xiaojun couldn't help but laugh when the beagle dog started to attack him with licks on his faces. ❝stop.. bella!❞

yangyang arrived after a few more seconds running and couldn't contain a smile being formed in his lips when he saw his dog looking so happy to see xiaojun again. he honestly didn't know when he started loving walks in the park together with either his dog or cat, but louis never liked that idea so yangyang let him stay at home. it's usually his boyfriend walking them out but ever since he met this guy, he has started to grow eager in taking them out in hopes to see him again.

also, he might have already caught him from afar and purpose removed the dog's leash to let bella ran towards him and also have a reason to approach him.

because ever since he asked xiaojun to forget about his feelings, he never had the guts to see him. he even started to regret telling him that, having his feelings grow when his boyfriend told him that it was fine. not to mention how his friends, jaemin being specially mentioned, kept on pushing him with his feelings.

❝yang?❞ xiaojun propped his elbows down the grass as he noticed a figure standing there, staring out of space.

being called out, the student turned his head towards the guy that's trying to stand up now that the dog was out of his way. biting his bottom lip, an insane idea came in mind that had to do with xiaojun having to stay down.

the older male let out a shriek when yangyang became bold to crouch and place a finger on his chest, pushing him down till he was laid flat on the ground. his head was hurting more but it's probably because of how the younger was undeniably doing questionable actions. ❝what are you—❞

for example, hovering over him.

the dog was obedient to the side, watching to two of them as she wagged her tail.

xiaojun felt his breathing hitched when yangyang made his way on top of him, having his hands placed both his side to prevent him from escaping. what was this, another day of teasing the confident xiao dejun? but looking at his, his bold move contradicts to how he looked. a small smile was visible in the secretary's face when he saw the younger male blushing madly while being on top of him.

❝we n-need to talk.❞ adorable, he's even stuttering.

raising a brow, xiaojun let out a chuckle as he found this position a strange way to talk. and another thing, they were at a park where countless of people might have passed by at there already. ❝we can sit down at a bench—❞

❝no!❞ yangyang didn't mean to raise his voice. it was because of the position they were at and also the sudden gush of boldness he had awhile disappearing to mid air. ❝i l-like t-this.❞

❝oh? you like this?❞ maybe the younger's confidence was transferred to xiaojun who hand his held on to the younger's shoulder just to push him to the side and switching their position with him now on top of the blushing male. ❝or do you prefer this more?❞

the dog then barked, either reminding them about her presence being there or answering in behalf of yangyang that had his lips pressed to a thin line and his cheeks all puffed. it was as if xiaojun understood the dog language when bella barked, giggling at it. his head was aching more after switching their positions but he shrugged it off, focusing in making up for being such a panicked gay with that ceo of his.

❝i-i'm fine with anything a-as long as you're here.❞ yangyang managed to say after being so quiet for a good minute, having his hands placed on the older's chest to prevent him from suddenly falling down.

cooing at his answer, xiaojun used the other arm to stay him intact while the other hand was brought to the student's hair just to play with it, getting the grasses that are stuck in it. ❝so what do you want to talk about.❞

that was enough to remind yangyang what his purpose was to be in this situation with the secretary. ❝ge, i like you.❞

xiaojun then pulled his hand away from his hair and now had a frown on his face as he diverted his eyes to the male that's under him. ❝yeah, i know.❞

seeing how disappointing he looked honestly made the younger feel guilty. he knew he had something to do with it, that he was the reason as to why his sad. which is why, he wanted to finally tell him. ❝and i don't want you to forget about it.❞

having the talk with hendery made him finally come to realize that making xiaojun forget about his feelings would do nothing. it only caused for him to have him stuck inside his head, worry about how he'd be doing right now, and a lot of things related to the male. and if his boyfriend wasn't enough, he had his friends that told him to keep going with how he felt towards the older male, also reminding him that there's no hard liking him when hendery himself acknowledged and accepted it already.

but unlike him, xiaojun was worried. ❝but your boyfriend..❞

❝ryry ge already knows about this.❞ he told him, looking straight to his eyes noticed how he was turning red. not because he was blushing, it was something else. ❝ge, are you sick?❞

getting tired in the positing, xiaojun pushed himself up before yangyang could place a hand on his forehead. he then settled himself down across the boy and now he was flustered, not still not believing that this cute guy right here actually likes him.

and it all started with a prayer in meeting a cute guy who would ask him out for breakfast. damn, how lucky can he get? ❝does that mean.. i can like you back too?❞

also being in a sitting position right in front of the flustered male, yangyang nodded his head cheerfully with a chuckle. the older's actions were already obvious actually, with flirting all the time and the stares he would give to him, but he didn't want to jump to conclusions. it felt different now that he got to hear it coming from from him, making him feel butterflies inside his stomach once again.

and because he didn't have anything to be scared of anymore, they weren't the bad kind of butterflies anymore.

❝you like me?❞ but of course, he just had to ask to make sure.

looking down, xiaojun nodded his head. ❝yeah, but i don't think kunhang would be happy—❞

and they were back on the ground with yangyang suddenly pouncing on him, giving him the tightest hug he could give to the blushing male that's burning up. ❝like i said, gege already knows about this.❞

right, he told him already that he knows. ❝does that also mean i can give kisses—❞ xiaojun then covered his mouth at what he suddenly said, not knowing that he'd expose his inner desire of tasting the younger's lips once again after having to taste it twice.

laughing out loud, the sigh was too cute for him to handle. although, he still doubted that his face was heating up because of the situation they are in right now. nonetheless, yangyang still leaned forward and placed a soft peck on the back of xiaojun's hand as he was still covering his mouth.

❝do you want to walk around the park together?❞

🦋

okay, now he was thinking otherwise. he didn't know if it's just usually him hating to report to work or it's because of his head aching so bad. it was hansol who drove him again and he also noticed how strange xiaojun was looking, asking if he was alright and all. the younger male didn't want to be a burden and just reassured him that he was fine.

but the moment he got inside the building, he felt like collapsing down the ground. the cold air was also freezing him up and not even the blazer can warm him. but despite of feeling weak, he didn't forget to greet the people around that would pass by him.

even the receptionist behind the desk. ❝the ceo is asking for your presence inside his office.❞ she then said the moment xiaojun came up to her.

❝h-he always does.❞ he clicked his tongue and buried his head down on his hand, groaning in pain.

the woman then stood up from her chair and had her worried eyes gazing on the burning secretary. ❝are you okay?❞ she was about to catch him as he almost stumbled down.

but xiaojun was quick to get back on his feet and nod his head at her. ❝i'm fine, thank you.❞

that was the last thing he said before making his way towards the lift, being greeted by a group of people. he purposely had himself sticking to the back so he could just lean there and get a grip of himself. he felt his head aching more than what he felt ever since this morning and he could have went home quickly to get a short rest but he couldn't just leave yangyang at the park, not when he was asking for them to take bella out on a walk.

remembering how happy they looked this morning then made him smile, letting him forget for a moment that he actually had a fever.

❝woah, there.❞

xiaojun blinked twice as he tried to keep his eyes opened, turning to his side as he didn't notice the familiar tall male right beside him. also, he caught him when he almost fell down. ❝hey.❞

it seriously made xiaojun wonder why he always catches him being inside the lift. probably because it is where all the drama happens, or this really is just his job being in the elevator. then again, he could remember lucas' position being the head of finance in this company.

❝are you okay sugar baby?❞ lucas said, worry visible his tone despite of calling him that nickname.

but instead of answering his question, xiaojun had lost it and just chuckled. ❝i bet you don't know me that's why you're calling me sugar baby.❞

lucas didn't want to admit but yeah, he did for a moment. if it weren't for hendery shouting for his name early in the morning inside his office then the head of finance wouldn't have remembered his name.

that isn't important though. lucas raised his hand and then placed it on top of the smaller's forehead just to feel his temperature. ❝you're burning.❞

having a fever caused for xiaojun to act strange, gasping in the most adorable way and even speaking like a baby. ❝i'm fire!❞

❝i need to take you back—❞

❝no, no, no..❞ xiaojun shook his head, almost dancing to a song similar to what he had said, and then started to push lucas out of the lift when he was already at his floor. ❝bye bye! kunhang is looking for me.❞

he was sick and the ceo wasn't in a good mood, this isn't going to end well. lucas tried to reach out for the secretary that's waving a hand at him but failed to get him out of the the lift when the elevator started to close. sighing, he just prayed to the gods above that his life was going to be spared from the angry ceo.

after waiting a couple of minutes, xiaojun got out of the lift and made his way straight to the ceo's office which he was asked to go. all that was going on inside his head was rainbows and butterflies, not thinking of other things like hendery shouting at him because of leaving yesterday without telling him about it.

❝the almighty dejun has arrived—❞

the ceo slammed his hand down to the desk as he didn't waste any second to walk around it and approached the slurring secretary of his. ❝it was raining yesterday! how stubborn can you get?❞

his grumpy voice greeting him made xiaojun pout, not seeing how mad he really was at the moment. ❝i'm fine!❞ he told him, pointing a finger at himself. ❝i walked under the rain.❞

❝that's fucking it!❞ hendery couldn't help himself but get stressed at this secretary of his that's always making worry even when he doesn't have the right to do so. ❝and yangyang told me how hot you were this morning!❞

a scoff escaped from the shorter's mouth, ❝you are just jealous,❞ he said with a crooked smile while nearing to the fuming ceo, not getting intimidated by his glare even one bit. ❝because he found me hot.❞

getting hold of his wrist, hendery clicked his tongue while lifting his hand up just to feel his temperature. ❝shit, you are burning.❞

❝that's because i'm fire, kunhang!❞ xiaojun shouted, moving away with a laugh. ❝i'm hotter than you.❞

with hendery still griping on to his wrist, he pulled him back in front of me as he looked like he was trying to escape. that then caused the secretary to bump his chest and let out a sound, but the ceo wasn't swoon by it as he was getting annoyed at how xiaojun was acting. ❝i am taking you home, don't even try to push me away. don't press any of my buttons, dejun.❞

still in the mood to play, ❝boop,❞ xiaojun had a finger poking on to the ceo's chest. ❝pressed your.. button..❞

hendery widened his eyes as the male trailed off from his sentence and at the same time he also was slipping down. fortunately for the secretary, the ceo caught him quick and didn't even hesitate to carry him up bridal style.

also just at a right time, a tall male came barging inside his office panting.

glaring up at him, hendery eyed the keys down on his desk. ❝lucas, you drive.❞

the ceo didn't wait for the taller's response and just made his way out of his office. he heard footsteps from behind, it probably is the head of finance following him. the two of them then got inside the lift with him still carrying the sick male that was speaking gibberish a while ago and lucas catching his breath from running. he was really worried for xiaojun's state that he used the stairs to go up to their floor as the elevators were full.

the elevator would open to those who wanted to get inside but retreated their plan to do so when they saw the head of finance showing a smile of apology together with the ceo glaring at them while carrying a body.

it didn't take long till he got down the lobby and when the receptionist was about to ask what happened to xiaojun, hendery just told her to cancel all his schedule for the day. she knew not to ask questions and do her job. the two of them then quickly made their way to the parking lost and it wasn't hard to find the ceo's car.

opening it with the help of lucas, hendery settled the two of them at the back seat while the finance head was taking the driver's seat. ❝should i take him back home?❞

hendery first glanced at the uneasy male beside him that's clutching on to his arm real tight before answering the male from the driver's seat. ❝my house, lucas.❞

he didn't want to disturb the ceo more and just followed his orders. although, he had the urge to show a teasing smile as he already had thoughts of what's going to happen at his house.

damn, he just loved this drama.

❝k-kunhang..❞

hearing his weak voice then caught the ceo's full attention, missing the teasing eyes coming from the head of finance. ❝what is it? you want to drink water? sleep? stop by and buy food?❞

god, he didn't even know why this worried him so much. it's not even like he had feelings towards his secretary like how his boyfriend fell for him first.

breathing heavily, xiaojun opened his eyes with a hazy sigh and just placed a hand on top of the ceo's thighs. ❝lap..❞

it made him widen his eyes. ❝l-lap?❞ hoping that he misheard him.

and lucas being lucas, even though he had his eyes focused on the road, teasing them was his first priority. he then coughed, clearing his throat to explain it to the ceo incase he didn't understand what the secretary had just muttered out. ❝maybe he meant that he wants to sit on your lap, hendery.❞

the ceo then groaned, knowing that lucas was having the time of his life teasing him. ❝i know what it means, okay!❞

he hissed before turning back to the sick male with his eyes now softening.

❝come here.❞

hendery then helped xiaojun up as he was having a hard time trying to make his way down on to the ceo's lap. he then widened his eyes and the secretary turned to face him before settling himself down, adjusting to find a comfortable spot. just when his episode of squirming is over, hendery could finally breathe the air he didn't even know he was holding back.

❝are you okay now?❞ his gulp was heard inside the car and he could have sworn he could see lucas' smirk despite of having his sight being blocked by the smaller's shoulder.

snuggling his head down on to the ceo's shoulder, xiaojun hummed in content as he can now go to sleep while having something to hug. that something is the ceo's body. ❝comfy.❞

the way he said is made hendery's heart skip a beat, also have his insides go wild and the butterflies inside his stomach go crazy. but soon later, he slowly, but was hesitant, wrapped his arms around the sick male's waist and pulled him close till he too can bury his head down on to xiaojun's shoulder.

that only made him be a blushing mess but he was lucky lucas couldn't see his face. although, that didn't stop him from cursing.

❝fuck, this is unhealthy for me.❞
