Hyunjoon's leg bounced as he stared at his phone's screen. He was staring at a tweet that directly targeted him.

He had no idea who this person was nor why they were spreading lies. He had reported the tweet multiple times and still seeing it up bothered him greatly. Though, the chances of Jaehyun seeing it were slim. He exited out of the app and tried burying himself in his work.

허이이허

He couldn't focus. The thought of someone who knew him might come across it terrified him. He didn't know why when he had nothing to hide. Was it because Jaehyun might believe it? That was a valid fear. Jaehyun trusted him, right? His fear only grew, causing him to lose sight of his current actions.

"Mr. Heo, your coffee..." a coworker said quietly.

Hyunjoon looked and it was then the searing pain had kicked in. He quickly pulled away and knocked things over, causing a mug to fall over and chip.

"Are you okay...?" he asked Hyunjoon.

"I'm fine. Not a word to anyone, got it?" Hyunjoon said while looking at him.

His coworker nodded then checked him over again before leaving. Hyunjoon sighed heavily then ran cold water over his singed hand. It could've been worse. He could have a first degree burn. He could've cut himself on the chipped mug. Anything could've happened really. Hyunjoon silently cleaned up then slowly picked up his coffee and drank enough so it wouldn't spill over

허이이허

Hyunjoon had successfully avoided making unnecessary contact with Jaehyun as he thought of how to get the person out into the open. The tweet had been taken down and the account suspended. But that probably wouldn't stop them from creating a new account. He needed to track it back to the source. And he knew just the person who could help him.

Just as he moved to call, he suddenly got a text from Juyeon.

Hyunjoon smiled warmly as it felt relieving to know he wasn't alone. However, it was upsetting to know one of his friends was being targeted as well.

허이이허

Juyeon tapped his pencil against his desk as he thought. Why was it just the two of them? Did they kill a person? That couldn't be it otherwise they'd be in jail already. Kidnap someone? Seemed plausible, but then again they'd probably be in jail for that too. What could it be? He had his fair share of secrets, but they were simple ones to keep others happy and not ready to kill him.

Juyeon pushed his work aside as he couldn't work with worries on his mind. Then he got an idea. He immediately started to write, rewrite, erase, and write some more before smiling at the work in progress. He planned to turn this situation into a new movie. Though, many things had to be adjusted and lots of names changed. He reached for his phone and waited for him to pick up.

"Hey, what's up?" he said on the other end.

"Can't I call whenever? Whether I miss you or not?" Juyeon said with a pout.

Eric laughed then assured him it was fine. He wanted to see Eric, but he made it a goal today to not leave the house for certain reasons.

"Hey, can I come over today?" asked Eric suddenly.

"Do you really want to go through that process again?" Juyeon countered.

"No, but I really need some one on one... sorry if it's too much trouble." said Eric sadly.

"Love, it's fine. I was asking for you. Remember last time you were complaining about it? I'll make sure to have your favorite foods ready when you arrive, so what time will you be leaving?" Juyeon asked as he walked towards the kitchen.

"In an hour or so. And tell them to pick me up at the corner of..." said Eric while Juyeon wrote it down.

Juyeon moved the phone from his ear then sent a text to his assistant who seemed displeased with all of it. It was then Juyeon decided to fire her and find someone new. Though, to find someone new in a short amount of time wouldn't be easy. It looked as if she'd be with him a bit longer.

허이이허

Juyeon opened the front door and Eric had quickly slipped inside. Juyeon glared at his assistant before slamming the door behind himself.

"You know there are some girls hanging around the area. They were looking around at that." said Eric as he took off the disguise.

"What's the problem? You only ask to be alone with me when you're upset." said Juyeon with his arms wide open.

Eric fell into his arms and debated on whether he wanted to go through with it or not.

"Do you love me?" asked Eric softly.

"Indeed I do. I love you, Eric." Juyeon responded happily.

"I know it depends on the situation and what, but would you still want to be with me if I..." said Eric then slowly met Juyeon's eyes. "...if I originally had bad intentions?"

"Depends. If it was towards me, then we'd have to reconsider our relationship. If it was towards someone else, I would, but you'd lose some trust." Juyeon said, slightly worried about Eric's change in tone.

"Juyeon... look, I'm so, so sorry. I really do love you... and I want to come clean. Originally I planned to use you to get my name out there when my group debuted, but that doesn't matter to me anymore. After getting to know you, I don't care how unpopular I am as long as I have you." confessed Eric before pulling away from Juyeon. "I understand if you hate me for this."

"I'm glad you came clean. This'll only reenforce our relationship more. Though, I am disappointed." said Juyeon with a smile.

Eric tightly hugged Juyeon and couldn't stop the tears that flowed. He was worried that Juyeon would leave him and hate him for eternity. He loved Juyeon immensely and hated his past self for even thinking of using Juyeon to lift himself up. Their tender moment was interrupted by Juyeon's ringtone going off.

"Hey, what's up?" Juyeon asked before sitting down in a chair.

Eric silently watched his boyfriend chat on the phone. He couldn't help but notice how happy he looked. It was more than what he was used to.

"No way. I always thought him to be the rowdy type. Oh, one second." said Juyeon who then looked at Eric. "Go help yourself to some food."

Eric nodded then watched as Juyeon stood up and started to walk around. His laughter seemed different. He hardly showed teeth when he smiled. Eric noticed something that he never ever saw before. Juyeon had never fingered a tuft of hair. Exactly who was he talking to? Just as he moved to find out, Juyeon was already hanging up.

"Oh, are you not hungry? Or is it not to your liking? I only made your favorites." said Juyeon with a frown. "Well, if you get hungry, food's there. I need to walk Prix, but you're free to come along too."

The owner soon hopped down the stairs and formally greeted Juyeon. Juyeon moved to greet them back but they insisted it was fine. Prix barked happily as Juyeon talked. Eric observes his boyfriend's actions and found them to be normal. Who exactly was it that he talked to that made him like that?
