<Serenity HQ>

After an hour of over-work, Seungcheol decided to leave the office. He made his way through the hallways but while passing through the Web Designing Team's cabin, he saw Jeonghan sitting alone and reviewing the presentation.

Seungcheol leaned against the door while crossing his arms against his chest. Jeonghan was extremely focused on the screen when he felt a foreign presence in the room, "Mr. Choi?"

"Working late?" Seungcheol raised a brow.

"I- I didn't want others to work extra for my fault." Jeonghan stood up.

"That's a good thing, I guess?"

"I'm genuinely sorry for today." Jeonghan mumbled.

"I respect it." Seungcheol nodded, "Anyways, follow me to the record room to fix the files of the latest deal. And then- go home. You can do this tomorrow."

Jeonghan agreed as both of them reached the record room and finished their task within minutes. But while walking out, the pass code pane was locked already and the door was stuck.

"What's wrong with this?" Seungcheol frowned after which the light turned off and only a faint light through the windows was visible.

"What are you even doing?" Jeonghan scrunched his brows.

"I didn't do anything?" Seungcheol reasoned.

"Get aside." Jeonghan went to the door but there was no point of it.

"Happy now?" Seungcheol pulled out his phone and made a call, "Hello? Vernon? Check the security locks of the Record Room on the fifth floor. Check it on the system."

Seungcheol waited for a while after which his eyes widened, "WHAT?! NO!! Do something, quick!!" He hung up the call.

"What happened?" Jeonghan asked.

"He said it has been self locked due to security reasons and will take about two hours to open." Seungcheol explained, "But I asked them to do something fast."

"Two hours." Jeonghan clutched his chest, "With you. NO!!"

"Stop screaming, will you?" Seungcheol rolled his eyes, "I won't eat you. The lights- damn what the hell?"

"That's a window right?" Jeonghan pointed, "C'mon, you can break it."

"Me?"

Jeonghan squeezed his biceps, "Yes YOU. Remember you broke the door that day?"

"Mr. Yoon, this is a glass window with a secured bulletproof glass." Seungcheol got rid of him.

"Not all the security systems backfiring us." Jeonghan muttered, "So we're really stuck?"

"I guess?" Seungcheol shrugged.

"Why are you so chill about it?" Jeonghan whined, "Don't you hate me?"

"Why would I hate you?" Seungcheol scoffed, "You aren't that bad."

"But your're too bad and I hate you!" Jeonghan stated, 'For my sanity.'

"Then go break the window and jump out of it or whatsoever." Seungcheol sighed.

"Very casual way to ask me to go and die." Jeonghan rolled his eyes.

Silence fell in the room as they stood around each other amidst the dark room with faint lights coming from small creaks and all.

"Mr. Choi, can I ask you something?" Jeonghan muttered.

"What?" Seungcheol asked.

"I'm genuinely sorry for today but why do you love to make me suffer?" Jeonghan looked down.

Seungcheol would have given a sarcastic reply but watching Jeonghan being serious, he couldn't help but feel bad.

Jeonghan sighed, "Never mind."

"I'm- I'm guilty for it."

"You're what?" Jeonghan gasped, "Am I hearing things?"

"This- I- I hate how you make me speechless all the time either by your words or by-"

"Or by?"

"By being ridiculous." Seungcheol looked away, "But I won't dismiss your assistant position, no matter how much you try. I'll be rational from now on, though."

Jeonghan stared at him for a while, "What are you planning Mr. Choi?"

"I'm not planning anything."

"So what's this sudden change."

"Mr. Yoon? The more you'll pester me, the more I'll get annoyed and you know what it means." Seungcheol scoffed.

"Yeah you'll turn my life upside down." Jeonghan scoffed.

It was when Seungcheol grunted as a file fell over his head, "What the hell is wrong with this place?"

"I won't be surprised if a ghost suddenly shows up." Jeonghan laughed.

"Don't worry Mr. Yoon, no ghost will dare to show up in your presence." Seungcheol chuckled.

"Very funny." Jeonghan rolled his eyes, "You know when you get angry your eyes widen like an owl."

Seungcheol looked at him with a frown, "Excuse me?"

"Excused."

Seungcheol held the younger's wrist, pulling him towards himself, "You think you can blabber anything you want just because I'm not saying anything?"

"You're not saying anything?" Jeonghan paused, "That's the wildest joke I've heard in my entire life."

"Is that so?" Seungcheol leaned closer.

"Yeah. Aren't you too full of yourself to listen to others?" Jeonghan tried to ignore the proximity between them, "Accept it or not, you're definitely very egoistic. And since, I didn't feed your ego, you just want to make me suffer."

"How pitiful, yeah?" Seungcheol scrunched his brows, "You know what? Since day one, the way you've been talking to me, I really can't believe that it's just work."

"Oh then what else do you think it is?"

Seungcheol trapped the younger amidst his arms and the platform, "Something which you're hiding. No matter how much I try to avoid my intuitions, they always say that you're keeping a lot of secrets."

"And what makes you believe that you should know everything about me huh?" Jeonghan's voice lowered.

"Stop lying, Mr. Yoon." Seungcheol's husky voice echoed, "Drop this mask which you're wearing, I won't stop believing that this is just a facade."

"Try harder." Jeonghan retorted, "I don't need a mask, Mr. Choi. And nothing is a facade."

"I'm not taking this-"

"You have to."

"I won't."

"Stop this."

"Speak the truth, that's all I want."

"What truth, Mr. Choi?" Jeonghan placed his hand on the older's chest, "I can't understand what do you want me to say. What facade, what lies, what truth?"

"Work can't be the only reason you hate me." Seungcheol grunted, "Never."

Jeonghan gulped as he stared at the older, "It is."

Seungcheol calmed himself, determined to get the truth anyhow, "You're suffocating me with your lies."

Jeonghan chuckled deviously. His hands reached to loosen the older's tie, "Better now?"

"Do you think this is a joke?"

Don't speak, no, don't try
It's been a secret for the longest time
Don't run, no, don't hide
Been running from it for the longest time

"With the things you're saying, no one will take you seriously." Jeonghan continued to play with his tie, "Mr. Choi? I can see your veins tensing, relax."

"So this is how we're playing?" Seungcheol mockingly chuckled as Jeonghan's finger traced his chest leisurely.

"Probably?" Jeonghan pulled the older closer through his tie.

"Out of everything, this, is the most dangerous stunt you can pull, Mr. Yoon." Seungcheol whispered.

"Easy is for the weak ones." Jeonghan grinned while playing with the older's shirt's collar, "Dangerous is dramatic and I absolutely love it."

-
"Aww too bad I'll leave tomorrow early in the morning." The man teased.

"Oh?" Seungcheol laughed in an evil tone, "Bold of you to assume that you can escape me darling."

"Well." The stranger walked towards him while clasping his arms around his shoulders, "You're not bad. I'm hooked."
-

'This. The voice.' Seungcheol recalled. And that was when he decided to play along and let things escalate as much as they could.

Yeah, as much as they could.

"There's a reason why you caught my attention Mr. Yoon." Seungcheol pressed himself closer to the younger.

Jeonghan slowly sat over the platform as Seungcheol stood between his legs, his hand resting on the cold marble.

Jeonghan flicked the few strands of hair resting on the older's forehead, "Should I take it as good thing or not?"

"Depends." Seungcheol's hands slowly gripped the younger's waist, "If you like this or not."

"That's a tough question." Jeonghan held his shoulders, "Losing control now, are we?"

"I don't lose control." Seungcheol stepped closer, "I just take what I want."

Right now, I'm shameless
Screamin' my lungs out for ya
Not afraid to face it
I need you more than I want to

"Suits your huge ego." Jeonghan traced the older's jawline, "May I know what your arrogant self wants right now?"

"You won't stop, right?" Seungcheol grunted.

"Stop me if you can." Jeonghan held his tie again to pull his face closer.

"I won't." Seungcheol nodded.

Jeonghan took a glance of his lips and then looked into his eyes again, "What if you regret it later?"

"I don't regret whatever I do with my own choice, I'm not irresponsible." Seungcheol retorted, "Go on."

There's just inches in between us
I want you to give in
There is tension in between us
I just wanna give in
And I don't care if I'm forgiven

Jeonghan took a deep breath after which he leaned in to press his lips over the older's. Seungcheol chuckled as his grip on the younger's waist tightened. He engulfed Jeonghan's lips amidst his own, slipping his tongue into the younger's parted lips.

Jeonghan moaned into the kiss, his body arched towards Seungcheol. He wrapped his arms around the older's neck, pulling him closer. Seungcheol's hand moved to the small of Jeonghan's back as he nibbled on the younger's lower lip.

They parted away after being breathless, staring at each other, trying to find a hint of dejection or regret. But all they could find was the extreme desire in each other's eyes as Jeonghan wrapped his legs around the older.

"You're driving me insane." Seungcheol whispered, "And I don't like when someone else is controlling my mind."

"You don't like me either." Jeonghan breathed out.

"Just say you want more." Seungcheol attached their lips together. Jeonghan clutched on the older's biceps as Seungcheol pushed his tongue in, nipping on his lower lip. He trailed down to leave numerous kisses on his neck.

"I'll kill you if that leaves a mark." Jeonghan whimpered.

Seungcheol retracted slightly, "You can kill?"

"Mentally." Jeonghan blurted out, "I'll annoy the heck out of you."

"As if you don't already do it." Seungcheol continued to kiss his collarbones.

Jeonghan opened his mouth to protest, but before he could say anything, Seungcheol pressed their lips together once more, effectively silencing him.

Jeonghan melted into the kiss, his body responding to Seungcheol's touch instinctively. He hated how easily the older could make him unglued with just a mere press of their lips. He clung onto Seungcheol body, his nails digging into his shoulders as he surrendered himself into the kiss.

Seungcheol parted away as he chuckled lowly, looking at the younger's disheveled appearance, "You look- wrecked."

"Shut up." Jeonghan tried to hide his flustered face, "It's all your fault."

"Here you are, classic Yoon Jeonghan, blaming me for everything." Seungcheol laughed briefly.

"It's really not my fault that you're so-" Jeonghan halted, thinking of a suitable word.

"So- what?" Seungcheol raised a brow.

"Irritating." Jeonghan huffed in frustration.

"You say that everyday." Seungcheol tightened his grip on the younger's waist, "Yet you have your legs wrapped around me as if you don't want to let go."

"Doesn't make you less irritating." Jeonghan grumbled.

"And you're as stubborn as ever." Seungcheol's breath was hot on the younger's neck, "We're two peas in a pod, a perfectly irritating pair."

Jeonghan felt a shudder run through his spine as Seungcheol's breath ghosted his ear, "You're doing that intentionally, aren't you?"

"Doing what, exactly?" Seungcheol caressed his waist.

"Don't play innocent." Jeonghan's voice was barely above a whisper.

"You say one thing but your body responds differently." Seungcheol kissed along the younger's jawline, "You're a walking contradiction, Yoon Jeonghan."

Jeonghan's heartbeat raced as Seungcheol's hands firmly caressed his thighs, "You're playing dirty."

"What can I say?" Seuncheol whispered, his voice husky and deep, "Making you a mess is so entertaining."

"You-"

"Shh!" Seungcheol intervened as he received a call. But Jeonghan gasped when the older's grip on his thighs tightened.

Jeonghan stifled a whimper as Seungcheol's hand slid higher up his thigh, his grip firm and possessive. He could feel the older doing it on purpose, enjoying the way Jeonghan was trying to hold back his gasps.

Seungcheol winked and chuckled while talking over the call. Jeonghan's eyes widened at his nonchalant behaviour as the older's hands firmly caressed his inner thighs.

"Okay, thanks." Seungchol hung up the call.

"I swear you're so freaking annoying." Jeonghan whined.

"We don't need to wait for two hours, they're here to rescue us." Seungcheol inched closer, "Except for the fact that we didn't want to be rescued."

Jeonghan pushed him lightly and hopped off the platform, "Forget this right now and right here."

"Sure darling." Seungcheol grinned, "Let's see, for how long can you pretend to forget it."

Soon enough, the door opened as Vernon and Hoshi barged in, "Finally!!"

Jeonghan took a quick glance at three of them, "I'll take my leave, thank you." He left immediately.

"Hyung, let's go." Vernon stated.

"You both go, I'll be back in a while." Seungcheol stated.

"What happened?" Hoshi asked.

"Nothing." Seungcheol assured as he made his way to his cabin. He sat on his seat and after an hour or so, he received texts again.

What's up, darling? I hope
your day went well.

Missed me or not?

I'm hoping to see you soon,
I can't really wait anymore!!

Anyways, love you!!

Seungcheol chuckled while looking at the texts, 'Very well played Mr. Yoon, very well played. But enough, now it's my turn.'

After getting so close with Jeonghan, Seungcheol had finally recalled the person he had met at the hotel in LA after being drunk.

And he was none other than, Yoon Jeonghan.

Seungcheol traced the edges of his table and as expected, he came across an unknown device. It was definitely a secret recorder.

Seungcheol grinned to himself, "Who the hell is this person huh?! Why is he behind me?!!" He acted out.

"I thought I bothered you a lot today." Seungcheol stood up, "I'll get some coffee for you, what say?"

"I'm fine by myself." Jeonghan stated, focusing on his screen.

"C'mon, don't say no." Seungcheol chuckled, "I'm being genuine."

Jeonghan scrunched his brows, clearly not convinced by the older, "Sure."

"Good." Seungcheol left the cabin, leaving Jeonghan alone.

Seuncheol nodded to himself while recalling the most probable time when the recorder must have been fixed beneath his table.

The door opened as Jeonghan stepped in, "Mr. Choi, I think I forgot my phone here."

Seungcheol looked at his desk and found out a foreign device. He pointed at it and gestured Jeonghan to take it.

Jeonghan picked up the phone but he accidentally hit the glass of water which fell over Seungcheol.
-

'You better not be working for my enemies.' Seungcheol thought to himself after which he left his cabin, 'Or this love of yours will turn into a disaster.'

A/n : I don't like the fact that the kiss happened so early. Lmao.
The story has just started!

Anyways take care everyone!
