Waiting For - Taemin

It's hard being discrete when there's nobody around since it just cancels out the whole disguise portion of it. That's why if you ever want to be discrete about something, you have to not make it so obvious that you're doing it in the first place.

It wasn't that hard for Ten really, he knows how to be sneaky when he needs it to be; perks of his own job to teach him. In this case, despite straying behind Chungha and the man, that's probably a year or two older than the girl's dad, they were too distracted in a conversation to notice his attentions from afar.

Besides, he was acting as though he was on his phone so it wouldn't be so obvious.

Gotta love technology these days.

"Just give me a second baby girl, going to the bathroom real quick."

Ten pauses in his steps and leans against the wall the second he heard the man say that to Chungha, to which followed with him pecking his lips against her cheek and moving to the door on their side to the mens bathroom.

Oh how badly Ten didn't want to cringe.

If Jeongguk knew about this, without a doubt the man would be in jail by now.

Then again probably not if Chungha sticks up for him since she is nineteen, technically an adult.

That doesn't excuse a whole grown man acting like a predator to a teenager.

Wordlessly Ten still acted as though he was on his phone, texting or looking at videos, but he noticed from the corner of his eyes Chungha looking at her phone as she waits but suddenly glances at Ten, not wasting time in moving down the hallway alone without turning back.

Hm, either her little boyfriend sent her a message about noticing Ten following them or she just doesn't like him.

With a heavy sigh, Ten was just about to go back to following her but abruptly he was yanked by the collar of his shirt back. His body suddenly bangs back against the wall with a hand to his neck keeping him in place, immediately pulsating him to nearly act out in defense for the assault until he realized who it was.

Marvelous, the man of the hour.

Jeongguk is glaring murderously down at him, his grip on Ten's neck so tight that it would've suffocated him if it wasn't for the fact that this amused him.

A lot.

"What are you doing following my daughter?"

Hm, he probably didn't see the guy then. That means he probably only just have arrived.

The corner of Ten's lips twitched to a smirk, noticing from his side vision how the man comes out of the bathroom and wordlessly goes after the girl, who took a turn somewhere drown the hallway.

Well there goes protecting.

"You need to start having your attention on your daughter," Ten taunts, grunting to the hard squeeze on his neck, "And not focusing on what I do with my free time."

And just like that Ten abruptly and quick hit a pressure point on Jeongguk's elbow, weakening his strength for Ten to grab his arm and whirls the two around, banging Jeongguk against the wall with his hand twisted to his back.

Come on, easiest move in the book.

This clearly caught Jeongguk entirely by surprise, but Ten only chuckle against his ear with his breathe trickling the shell of his skin.

"I remember when we use to play like this all the time. Who knew it would start to become more real after time?"

"You have some audacity being quirky after what you did to me," Jeongguk growls under his breath, "Such a difference from Woosung."

Ten's smirk widens, letting Jeongguk go but as expected the blonde to suddenly pushes him against the other wall across, fists gripping his collar to keep him in place with a nasty snarl.

This didn't faze Ten's grin, if anything it only became more amusing as he comfortably leans against the wall with his head laying back against it, "The clock is ticking. Such a waste your spending it manhandling me."

Jeongguk's scowl deepens, leaning to Ten's face in a source of intimidation, "Stay away from my kids, I mean-"

Ten's hand want to the back for Jeongguk's head, keeping him in place just as he leans and presses their lips together, hard.

Three, two, one- There it is!

By the sudden shock to Ten's actions, Jeongguk's hand weakens from his grip and Ten took that chance to suddenly push him back. The blonde haired male is looking at him with a horrified expression and pink lips parted to what just happened, but Ten only adjusts his collar of his suit and brushes his blazer, looking back to Jeongguk with a grin.

"It was nice chatting with you but I guess I'll leave the rest up to you," And with that he makes way to walk back to the ballroom, but stops in his steps and looks over his shoulder with a grin, "Your lips are sweet by the way, maybe you'll be swayed for another talk soon? Hm? Maybe leaving out the whole choking part though, even if I enjoyed it."

And with that he continues to move his way down the hallway with a whimsical whistle toning out of his lips, hiding the real anxiety he feels to where has Chungha run off to.

Well, from here on out, this is Jeongguk's business to deal with.
