Hyunjin nervously chewed on his lower lip. His gaze wandered to Felix again and again, who grinned at him a little mischievously and absolutely contentedly.

"Did I do that too?" Giggling, he grabbed Hyunjin's hand and gently squeezed it.

Sighing, Hyunjin tried to concentrate on the street instead of focusing on the thoughts of Chan and then grumbled approvingly. "Yeah you did! But you're incredibly cute, so it's something different."

"You're cute too.."

With that, at least some confidence returned to Hyunjin and he took a deep breath. "You think so?"

"Mhm! Damn cute. But don't tell Minho I said that."

Normally, Hyunjin would have put it on and told the older about it. Just to get Felix into a little bit of trouble. But he didn't have much time left until his shift would start and he really wanted to be on time.

When he drove into the driveway, Minho was already standing at the front door and waiting for Felix.

Although Hyunjin would normally have gotten out, he wanted to get to work quickly. Therefore, he merely wrapped his arms around the younger, kissed him gently on the cheek and waved to Minho without getting out.

"See you tomorrow, baby."

Felix's eyes lit up with anticipation as he turned back to Hyunjin. "See you tomorrow. Don't do anything stupid at work," grinning, he slammed the door behind him and ran into Minho's outstretched arms.

He turned around again to wave at Hyunjin, but the older registered much more how Minho wrapped his arms around Felix and buried his face at the crook of the younger's neck.

With an extremely satisfied smile, he waved back and drove off.

It was exactly as he had told Felix. Although he loved his best friend more than anything, he still loved him only as a friend. But he was madly happy that Felix and Minho had found each other. And that Minho was treating Felix so well. Because in his opinion, his best friend deserved all the love in the world.

But his thoughts lingered only briefly with Minho and Felix.

Shortly after he was back on the road, his thoughts wandered back to Chan. They would spend the whole night together.

Although he rationally knew, of course, that this was absolute wishful thinking. After all, he was there to work and not to spend time with Chan.

Which didn't mean he wouldn't try to spend as much time with him as possible.

And if he was honest with himself, he also really wanted to kiss him.

But since he didn't want to cross borders, he knew exactly that this wouldn't happen.

Still, he couldn't stop from thinking about kissing Chan. How the lips of the older would feel on his. How he would bury his hands in his curly hair.

Only at the last moment he notice the red traffic light and stepped on the brake.

Cursing he shook his head.

The rest of the way he tried to concentrate convulsively, even if his thoughts wandered back to Chan again and again.

Nevertheless, he managed to get to work safe and without running over a traffic light. On time and full of anticipation to see Chan again.

Carefully, so as not to destroy Felix's artwork, he changed his clothes and then looked at himself in the mirror with satisfaction.

Maybe Felix was right and he was looking cute.

Grinning, he left the changing room and ran through the staircase to the first floor. He knew that Yuna would work with him at least tonight, and he did his best to hide his excitement.

The staff kitchen was empty and only now did he realize that he had somehow even managed to be early for the shift.

Which meant that the late shift was busy making their last round before they would come to the handover.

There were dishes on the table, apparently from an urgent dinner. Sighing, Hyunjin put them in the dishwasher and put on a fresh coffee. He knew they all would need it, to stay awake the whole night.

But even then there was no sign from Yuna and another ten minutes until their shift would begin.

And that was the moment when he couldn't hold back anymore. Although he felt a bit like a criminal, he looked around the corridor furtively before making his way to Chan's room.

After making sure that no one was watching him, he quietly knocked on Chan's door and slipped through it.

But to his astonishment, the room was empty.

Nothing changed after he had looked around the room thoroughly. Thoughtful and somewhat worried, he wanted to leave again when the door suddenly opened.

Hyunjin stopped on the spot, frightened. He expected to get a lot of trouble from the late shift, but to his amazement Chan entered the room.

Only with a towel around his hips and drops of water running down his torso.

"Hyunjin."

Surprised, Chan stopped instead of going to the bed where his clothes were on.

Hyunjin couldn't help it. He stared at Chan. Stared at the drops of water that ran down the well-defined muscles of the older and then landed in the towel.

His thoughts went astray without him being able to prevent it.

And the fact that Chan came up to him didn't really help either.

Longing and desire bubbled in him and without thinking about it, he raised his hand to touch Chan. Only at the last moment, when Chan stopped right in front of him, he managed to take his hand down.

"Hi Chan..." his voice sounded a little hoarse and he just couldn't stop his gaze from moving down Chan's body again.

His body was well defined. His chest muscles were taut and his abs could have been compared to a washboard. He reminded him insanely of one of the Greek statues he had seen with Felix in the museum. Before all this had happened, Chan definitely had spent several hours at the gym.

"Fuck," Hyunjin whispered, not really realizing that the word came over his lips.

The grin that appeared on Chan's lips was knowing and satisfied. At this moment, only he and Hyunjin existed and the look with which the younger appraised his body. Everything else receded into the background. Where they were and especially why he himself was here.

Heat and desire rose in him and his whole body seemed to tingle.

And although he remembered very well how Hyunjin had rejected him the day before, now the younger's gaze spoke volumes. And when he gently lifted up his chin, there was pure desire in the eyes of the younger.

"Chan..." Hyunjin whispered and his gaze frantically wandered from the eyes to the older's mouth and back again.

As Chan stepped one step closer, Hyunjin raised his hands as if to ward him off, but he couldn't help but put them on Chan's chest. His fingers wandered restlessly on the velvety skin, while he couldn't take his gaze away from Chan's lips.

"I... my shift is about to start," he whispered.

"I know, baby..."

Suddenly Chan's hand was on his lower back, the other on his neck. The older's lips were so close that he could feel his hot breath.

Fluttering, Hyunjin closed his eyes and Chan couldn't help but seize the moment. The attraction that the blonde exerted on him was far too strong for him to resist. And since the night before, the desire lurked incredibly strong in him and had only waited for such a moment.

Their lips met gently.

Chan tenderly pulled Hyunjin closer to him.

Who wrapped his arms around Chan's bare body. Tried to get even closer to him, which was practically impossible, but he had completely lost himself in Chan's touch and their kiss.

The plan to remain steadfast and not to cross any professional borders was forgotten.

When Chan finally broke away from him, Hyunjin sighed regretfully.

"You have to work..." Chan whispered, but pressed another short kiss on Hyunjin's reddened lips.

"I know," Hyunjin mumbled, leaning against Chan for a moment. And although his whole body shook and was tingling with energy and excitement, an incredible calm came over him. As if he finally was where he belonged. "But I don't wanna go..."

With a loving smile on his lips, Chan looked at the younger and noticed much more than desire in his eyes.

"I'll wait for you. I don't want you to get in trouble because of me," he whispered, and couldn't help but kiss Hyunjin again.

The kiss was more passionately than before and both were out of breath when they finally broke away from each other.

For seconds, Chan's lay on Hyunjin's cheek and the look they shared said so much more than words could have at that moment.

"See you later," Hyunjin whispered. And with a last look full of longing, he disappeared from Chan's room, just like he had gotten there.
