"Good morning, Jisung," Minho smiled sarcastically as he entered the building, gripping his side bag as he eyed the younger, wishing that he could just pass through with no unnecessary confrontation. "I hope you're doing well."

"Minho, stop this, please," Jisung pouted, arms folded as he stood to the center of the hallway, preventing the older from going further. "You didn't talk to me all of last week. You didn't even answer my texts or anything," he sighed. "And living alone sucks, Min. I miss you."

Minho shook his head, trying to ignore the other's question and find a free side to walk past him; but Jisung only shifted to trap the doctor again.

"Look, please. We haven't spoken about this decently yet, Min. You were in so much rage and hurt that you didn't think twice, and I know it. Because the Minho I know wouldn't just move out without having a reasonable two-sided discussion," Jisung sniffled, brushing a finger underneath his eye. "People will notice our distance, Minho. Let's talk this afternoon?"

"Last time I checked, I gave you all opportunity to talk, Jisung. And you made it very clear that I was not enough, so I don't understand. This-" Minho looked around, waving his hand to the different directions of the building. "This, is our workplace. The name doesn't have to change, nothing has, except the knowledge that we're together. And stop caring about what people think, Jisung. That's what got you into this position anyways," Minho scoffed, bumping the younger's shoulder as he walked by swiftly.

"Think about all our years, Min. I know living in that apartment cannot be better than staying with me. I'm genuinely sorry, for what I did. You don't deserve this, and I know I don't deserve you," Jisung shed a tear, lips quivered when the older stopped directly in-front of his door, hesitating before opening. "But please, we could start from square one. We could rebuild the trust from the beginning, Min. But please don't cut me off. Last week was by far the worst week that I've ever went through... please."

Minho only shook his head before entering his office, closing the door softly behind. He still loved Jisung. But what the younger did couldn't be forgiven or forgotten so easily, especially considering the length of time in which the affair was going on. He didn't think that he'd never forgive the younger, but he needed time.

And time would tell whether or not Jisung was really sorry; whether or not his love was strong enough to wait without running around with other people.

"G-good morning?" Felix spoke, startling a sobbing Jisung. "Are you okay, sir?" He strolled up to the older, hesitantly placing a hand on the doctor's shoulder. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," Jisung lied, brushing the secretary's hand off. "It's fine, I'll be fine."

Chan groaned as he stretched along the bed, shaking as he wrung out that morning tiredness. He sighed, laying flat on his back and staring up at the ceiling when his consciousness returned fully. The memory of the previous night flooded back into the blonde's mind- how he'd been so satisfied, among other nights, by one of the persons he wanted to deteste.

"I hate this," Chan muttered, tilting his head to the side, almost falling off of the bed when he saw the familiar face looking at him smugly while the boy laid sideways. "Changbin why the fuck are you still here?"

"You look so cute when you sleep," Changbin chuckled, creeping the older out with the same sarcastic smile. "I wanted to spend the day with you."

"You're sick," Chan scoffed, making way to get up but stopping when a hand gripped his crotch, causing the boy to almost choke from the surprise and huff out a breath. He bit his lip softly, locking gazes with Changbin as he narrowed his eyes at the younger. "I'm not in the mood, okay? You've been here every night since last week Wednesday... this has to stop," he gripped the boy's wrist, yanking it from the restricted area.

"Chan," Changbin too, sat up, shaking his head. "Since when are you so banked on doing what's 'right'," he scoffed, following as Chan walked unenthusiastically to the kitchen- he drooled at the blonde's bare back and how the boy's boxers were lowered, displaying the tip of his crack. "You know you like it when I suc-"

"Changbin stop," Chan spat, leaning down to search the fridge for some milk. "Don't, do that."

"Channie~" Changbin teased, smirking. "I know you like it when I swallow your-"

"Changbin fuck off," Chan growled, glaring at the shorter. "Go get your things so you can leave already," he reached up to the cupboard to grab a bowl and a box of cereal. "This is getting annoying."

Changbin only giggled, walking up to the older as the boy fixed himself a bowl of cereal, slipping his hands around the addict's waist, hugging him from behind. "Why are you acting like this?"

Chan shook the shorter off, rotating and leaning against the counter to express his discomfort clearly. "I'm like this because I don't do attachments," he almost yelled, glaring at Changbin. "You're overdoing it now, honestly. The fact the I keep sleeping with you on several occasions should be enough, Changbin. Don't stay over at my house after we've done it, you're supposed to leave. Go get yourself a boyfriend or something," he scoffed, returning his attention to the incomplete bowl of cereal.

"Is he your boyfriend?"

"What?"

"Felix. Is he your boyfriend?" Changbin deadpanned, fists clenching reflexively. "I know that you two are seeing each other, so tell me?"

Chan only rolled his eyes, ignoring the question and grabbing a spoon, making his way to the table as he already started his cereal.

Changbin followed annoyingly behind, sitting opposite from the older, shaking his head when he earned a low curse from the blonde. "Are you two a thing, Channie? No use in lying because I saw you guys together?"

"Are you stalking me now, Changbin? Is that it?" Chan narrowed his eyes at the other, sighing in attempt to keep his already dwindling appetite. "Please leave my personal life and space alone."

"You know that he can't satisfy you, right?" Changbin huffed, clenching his jaw as his mind ran over just the thought of Chan being in any kind of relationship with his ex. He felt disgusted at just his assumption, hoping that there was no such possibility.

He couldn't see the person he hurt be picked up by his own rebound. Changbin couldn't stand the thought of Felix falling for someone that was addicted to the same thing that the boy seemed so scared of.

He couldn't stay sane with the knowledge that Felix moved on with the exact person he was taking advantage of for his own pleasurable needs- Changbin couldn't live with the fact that the ex that he secretly missed was snatching away the boy that he constantly used for the clearance if his own mind. "What does he have that I don't, Chan?"

"Changbin, we're just friends, okay? I said I don't do attachments or any of that shit, so chill on me," Chan scoffed, taking in another spoon of cereal. "Now for the last time, please leave."

Changbin pouted slightly, narrowing his eyes at the older. "I hear you," he muttered, standing to head for the bedroom to collect his keys. "Just know that I'm always here," his voice was a faded sound to the older as Chan focused solely on his cereal.

"Bye," the blonde muttered, glaring as Changbin headed for the front door. "Don't come back."

"See you tonight, Channie~" Changbin chuckled teasingly before leaving, smirking at his impact on the older.

"Fuck."

"Well I guess I could try," Jeongin spoke, leaning against the couple's car. "But why can't you guys let him do it? It's going to be much more difficult for me to get into the files."

"If we ask him he might get the wrong idea," Hyunjin replied to his friend, nodding at Seungmin who only mumbled small 'mhms' now and then as Jeongin was more of Hyunjin's friend than his, and he didn't want to seem invasive. "It's best if you just ask Minho or sneak onto the desktop on a lunch break. All we want is the address and, or contact information."

"Christopher Bang, right? I'll see what I can do," Jeongin sighed, nodding and leaning off of the vehicle. "Anyways, he should be coming out any minute now so I think I'll go. See you guys later," he flashed a friendly wave to the couple before walking away, smiling softly when he saw Felix exiting the building.

"Jeongin," the blonde greeted, stopping his walk for a few seconds to be polite. "I hope you're doing fine today. Dr. Lee already told me that you were coming so the door is unlocked."

"Alright," Jeongin nodded, still smiling. "Well have a good lunch break."

"You too, sir," Felix sighed calmly before the two parted ways, smiling when he spotted the couple waiting for him happily and patiently. "Hey guys," he called out, smiling and waving at his friends enthusiastically. "Let's get out of here. I'm hungry."
