•Serenity HQ•

"So we're fine with each other's proposals, that's a great thing." Jeonghan announced as the meeting was nearing its end, "But there's one thing I would like to say. Mr. Choi, this project is a really crucial one, the government has keen eyes on Serenity right now. Henceforth, I can't agree for anyone else to supervise and design this structure."

"Pardon, Mr. Yoon?" Seungcheol asked. The meeting room's atmosphere was extremely intense as the thirteen officials focused on their work.

"Project Heaven's Cloud, is a collaboration between unique tech creations by us and the artistic approach of architecture." Jeonghan explained, "We need you and your main team to stay here until this project is completed. And I know it is going to be hard for you as your main HQ is in Seoul and this project is going to consume a lot of time."

"We've already talked about it Jeonghan." Joshua hesitantly intervened.

"I need to hear that from Rose Quartz's CEO, officially." Jeonghan retorted.

"You're right Mr. Yoon, it's a tough decision for us." Seungcheol nodded, "But we have a more professional approach towards it. Our work doesn't ask us to sit in the office 24/7, we've trustable people who can manage our Seoul HQ until we work here. We've carefully discussed all the pros and cons before coming here."

And after a series of discussion, the deal between Serenity Hyperbotics and Rose Quartz Dream Designs regarding the project Heaven's Cloud was successfully closed.

"We've already contacted our team who will work on this project." Woozi stated, "They'll be ready to work within 2-4 days. I hope that's enough for you to arrange the working space for them."

"Yes, actually this project's work will be carried out in our main building." Seungkwan explained, "The space for the architecture department will be ready by tomorrow."

"That's great, now we need to figure out over how we're going to start working and how we'll proceed our collaboration." Wonwoo spoke up.

"I've a suggestion." Mingyu stood up, "I think it would be better to divide the work and our respective teams into small chunks and distribute it among ourselves. After that, we can shortlist our other employees according to the sub-units. For example, we create a team of me, Dino, Jun hyung and Woozi hyung. Then we can take employees from the Rose Quartz's architecture department and Serenity's tech department and provide a specific task to this team."

"I think that's an efficient and effective plan." Jun nodded.

"The two CEO's can create the teams as they know us and the other employees from their respective teams in a better way." Minghao suggested.

"Yes, it would be better if they distribute the work." Hoshi agreed.

"I agree as well." Vernon nodded.

"Yeah, okay, it will work for me." Jeonghan declared, "Joshua, organise 5-6 cabins as I think we'll create 5-6 teams. So each team leaders can have their own cabins to work and discuss their tasks. Mingyu, you'll arrange the cabins for the team members of the respective units. I'll generate the id's of the leaders on the software of this project right now while discussing it with Mr. Choi so Seungkwan, you'll have to drop the id's of the employees of Serenity who are shortlisted to be a part of this project."

He turned towards Seungcheol, "And Mr. Choi, please let someone from your team help Hoshi and Dino to generate the id's of the employees of your team who will be working on this project."

"Yeah okay, Wonwoo, you can help them in the meantime." Seungcheol stated.

After that everyone left the cabin to work on their respective tasks while Seungcheol and Jeonghan discussed the team distribution. Jeonghan immediately organised the distribution over the software.

They also took a break and had discussions with their respective teams over the project.

After about four hours the thirteen people gathered again in the meeting room as Seungcheol and Jeonghan led the team distribution process.

"We'll roughly announce the division as all the information is explained over the software." Jeonghan stated, "You can log in with your id's to check the progress, assign daily, weekly, monthly goals to your team and everything else for smooth functioning."

"So each team has two leaders among us except for one which has three." Seungcheol proceeded, "Each team has 50 'main' employees under it, 25 from Rose Quartz's architecture department and 25 from Serenity's tech department. This data doesn't include the civil engineers who will build the structures, the hardware developers, etc. Those teams will be handled separately by us."

"Team A will be led by me and Mr. Choi." Jeonghan began to read, "Team B will be led by Mr. Kim Mingyu and Mr. Jeon Wonwoo. Mr. Hong Jisoo and Mr. Lee Seokmin will lead Team C. Mr. Kwon Soonyoung and Mr. Lee Jihoon will lead Team D. Mr. Boo Seungkwan and Mr. Chwe Hansol will lead Team E. Mr. Wen Junhui, Mr. Xu Minghao and Mr. Lee Jungchan will lead Team F."

"Now you can log in to the software and look for your tasks." Seungcheol stated.

Meanwhile Seungkwan scoffed heavily. Why was he paired with Vernon? No, he didn't want that at all because Vernon didn't leave a great impression on him after he had grabbed his mouth, dragged him down and argued with him that day.

"Any problem Mr. Boo?" Jeonghan cocked a brow.

"No." Seungkwan nodded.

"Just say the truth." Vernon muttered, "Or should I?"

"It's too late to deny." Seungkwan sighed as he whispered back, "I'm stuck with you now."

"As if I was dying to work with you." Vernon rolled his eyes.

"Stop murmering, both of you." Jun nudged the two younger ones.

•Serenity Mansion•

"His room's door is open." Hoshi whispered as he and Mingyu stood in the hallway beside Jeonghan's room, "He's coming he's coming he's coming."

Jeonghan walked out of his room. While passing through the hallway, he heard Mingyu talking on the phone, "So what did the doctor say? Oh okay, please take care."

He hung up the call after which Hoshi patted his shoulder, "Are they fine?"

"Kinda." Mingyu sighed.

"Mingyu? Hoshi?" Jeonghan called, "What's wrong? And where are Joshua, Seungkwan and Dino?"

"Nothing's wrong hyung, don't worry." Hoshi smiled hesitantly.

"Why are you lying?" Jeonghan's voice turned stern.

"Uh hyung, actually Wonwoo hyung, Seokmin and Vernon are sick." Mingyu muttered, "Shua hyung, Seungkwan and Dino went to see them and we stayed here."

"Sick?! What happened?" Jeonghan was worried.

"Food poisoning." Hoshi stated, "They've been consuming hotel food for a considerable time so that's why. The doctor said so."

"That's bad, I'll go to see them too." Jeonghan nodded as he left.

When Jeonghan drove away, Hoshi called Joshua, "Hyung, plan successful."

"Cool. So you told him that Wonwoo, Woozi and Seokmin are sick, right?"

"Woozi? We said Vernon, Seokmin and Wonwoo."

"You idiots! We had planned Woozi to act here. Nevermind, we'll rectify it."

"Glad that you asked or it was messed up." Mingyu scoffed.

•Serenity Hotel•

"Guys, he's coming." Joshua declared as everyone was gathered in the common room, "And Woozi you won't be acting up. Vernon will."

"Why?" Dino asked.

"They told him that Wonwoo, Seokmin and Vernon are sick."

"Okay then." Woozi stood up from the bed, "All the best Vernon."

"Does he even know how to act?" Seungkwan rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, I just don't act up like you everyday." Vernon scoffed.

"You guys are hopeless." Jun rebuked, "Don't mess anything in front of Jeonghan hyung."

After a while, Jeonghan arrived and he was extremely disheartened to see the three patients lying on the bed while others were sitting with their heads hung low.

"How are you all?" Jeonghan asked as he carefully sat beside Seokmin.

"We're fine hyung." Vernon mumbled in a low voice.

"They're not." Dino sighed.

"It's okay, Dino, you all don't need to stress." Seungcheol assured, "We'll manage."

Wonwoo let out a subtle whimper, depecting that he was in pain.

"His stomach hurts." Seungkwan patted his arms, "Please get well soon, all of you."

"How about we start cooking by ourselves from tomorrow?" Minghao suggested, "Hotel food on regular basis is not cool at all."

"How are you going to cook after coming from work?" Joshua let out a very sympathetic tone.

"Why don't we arrange cooks for them separately?" Dino suggested, "Like they'll cook normal home-made food for them instead of the restaurant like recipes."

"It will get messy." Seungkwan retorted.

"I'm telling you guys, don't worry, we'll manage." Woozi reassured.

"Jeonghan." Joshua nudged him, "Come with me."

"Excuse me." Jeonghan and Joshua left the room, "What happened?"

"Their condition is not good." Joshua sighed.

"I know right? We need to do something." Jeonghan worriedly stated, "They were so kind to me that day but here I am, not even saying anything."

"I've a suggestion though." Joshua mumbled.

"Say it."

"Why don't we ask them to stay at our mansion for the following months?" Joshua insisted, "There's nothing better than this."

"But what if they're not comfortable?" Jeonghan hesitated.

"Let's just ask them? We should convince them because we can serve them the best in that way." Joshua retorted, "I think you should talk to Seungcheol alone. Should I send him?"

"Uh-"

"Take him to the porch area." Joshua added, "I'll send some refreshments too. And convince him for sure okay? I'll hear no excuses."

"But Joshua-" Before Jeonghan could complete, Joshua left and went into the room.

Talking to Seungcheol was one hell of a task for Jeonghan because he just couldn't hold his heartbeat when the older would be anywhere near him. The sense of familiarity and comfort was just immaculate. Seungcheol felt like home to him and he just didn't know why.

Meanwhile, Joshua rushed to Seungcheol while smiling widely, "Go, I arranged a little date for you."

"What?" Seungcheol asked in disbelief.

"We're at the last stage of our plan." Joshua revealed, "But I changed it a little bit. Jeonghan will talk to you, don't agree easily okay? Do some formalities and spend some time with him."

Seungcheol froze in his place as he felt the overwhelming happiness rush through him.

"Wow what about us?" Seokmin whined, "Seungcheol hyung is getting a bit too much privilege, isn't he?"

"It's okay Seokmin, your turn will come too." Joshua chuckled.

"Yes." Seokmin nodded as he looked down, clearly flustered. He could agree that Joshua's smile was really captivating for him and his voice? Don't even get him started over his soft yet attractive personality.

"Is something going on that I should know?" Wonwoo nudged him.

"What?" Seokmin blurted out with a stern face.

Wonwoo smiled teasingly, "My revenge arc will start now."

"Seungcheol go!" Joshua pushed him towards the door, "Get your man!"

Seungcheol grinned like an idiot. He could feel the deja vu of his college days when he started feeling nervous while talking to Jeonghan.

Because those were the days he had realised his feelings for the younger. He could feel those moments once again. He just couldn't be happier.

Baby I'll be your joy
Always, you're always on my mind
Please don't forget this moment
Oh you can't hide it
I want to give you all my heart

He walked out of the room with a straight face, "Yeah? Joshua said you wanted to talk."

"Uh yes." Jeonghan scratched the back of his neck, "Let's go to the porch area. Let's sit comfortably and talk."

"Cool." Jeonghan mumbled to himself as the place was looking really beautiful while a coffee kettle and cups were well organised on the table. A cold yet soft breeze was flowing through the open area as both the males took a seat.

"Is everything alright Jeonghan?" Seungcheol asked.

"Yeah, don't worry." Jeonghan paused, "I've a proposal for you."

"What is it?"

"See, our deal is already final, which means you all will have to stay here for a considerable amount of time." Jeonghan began, "Staying in a hotel for that long would not be an easy task and over that we all are going to have a work load. We have put this condition for you all to stay here till the project completes so it's our duty to make sure you all are comfortable. So, I was thinking that you all can move to our mansion."

"That's so kind of you Jeonghan but don't worry too much." Seungcheol acted up although he wanted to say yes right away, "You don't need to stress yourself with us."

"What are you talking about? I'm not stressing, I'm concerned." Jeonghan scoffed, "We've much space there so you don't need to think about that. If there isn't a major problem, please say yes, Seungcheol."

"Jeonghan will talk to you, don't agree easily okay? Do some formalities and spend some time with him."

Joshua's voice ringed in Seungcheol's brain but how was he supposed to resist the younger anymore? It wasn't possible for him.

Oh my love, call me warmly next to you
I'll fill it with only you
Above the endless sky
This night where the stars are pouring down
Looking at you, dreaming the same dream as me and having the same heart

It was when a knock was heard as both of them turned around. "Come in." Jeonghan said to the waiter who organised the food for them, "Mr. Hong said that you can eat your dinner here, they're having it in the room."

"Okay." Jeonghan dismissed him as he left, "Yes, so where were we? Yeah, please don't decline my offer Seungcheol. Aren't we friends now?"

To be honest, Jeonghan was being a bit selfish here. He wanted to keep Seungcheol and the whole Rose Quartz team around himself. No one could understand that feeling but him, as the one dealing with amnesia and anxiety clearly understood that they were going to be his healers. How? That was something he didn't know at all. He was just going with his intuitions.

"Uh okay Jeonghan, we'll move." Seungcheol nodded, "I'll talk to them."

Mission successful.

"Thank you." Jeonghan smiled.

"Oh no, thanks to you for taking such good care of us." Seungcheol retorted.

"Let's not start with this thank you arc or it won't end." Jeonghan grinned, "Let's eat."

"Okay I wanted to ask you something." Seungcheol turned serious, "Only if you're comfortable."

"Yeah go on."

"What happened to you that day?" Seungcheol hesitantly asked, "Is the media or heavy crowd something you can't stand?"

"You can say that." Jeonghan looked down, "I hate their questions. I don't want them to dig into my life and serve it as news or whatever."

Jeonghan once considered to tell Seungcheol the exact truth but it was still too early for Jeonghan to totally trust him and rely on him with his insecurities. He was really very sensitive over his condition, he just didn't want anyone to know about his condition and feel pity on him.

"I understand." Seungcheol chuckled.

"This chain looks cool on you." Jeonghan noticed the accessory around the older's neck as he got something to change the topic, "It's simple yet beautiful."

"Hmm it is actually a gift." Seungcheol nodded, "Plain chains look cool on you. That's what I was told."

No matter what happens
I'm by your side, don't worry
On this night, I want to protect you
Dreaming the same dream as me and having the same heart

Jeonghan froze in his place. He had heard this somewhere. This exact line was really familiar to him. He tried to focus to recall the broken memory as he subtly clutched his chest.

Seungcheol was quick to notice the change of his expressions so he decided to make up a lie, "Moms know their children the best. That's why she gifted this to me last year on my birthday."

"Oh, that's great." Jeonghan nodded, 'Okay Jeonghan, stop overthinking. You literally make a huge deal out of everything.'

'I'm sorry Jeonghan.' Seungcheol thought, 'I know I'm lying to you a lot but it's for your own good. This is the only way to win you back without risking your life. My love, I promise I'll fill your life with happiness once again.'

A/n : Everybody say thank you Joshua. Are y'all enjoying?

Anyways, take care everyone!
