Third person point of view
They pulled away and Hyunsuk finally noticed Haruto. He then looked at Junkyu. " You are finally dating ? " Junkyu was flabbergasted. Hyunsuk pulled them to stand beside each other. " Ohh~ You look good together ". Junkyu panicked. " No hyung ! He is my manager ! " He really wanted to know why people were pairing them up like this.
Hyunsuk covered his mouth and gave a bow. " I am sorry ". " It is fine ". Haruto smiled. Junkyu showed Haruto. " He is Watanabe Haruto. He is a manager in our department. He is actually friends with Yoshi and Jihoon ". Hyunsuk nodded. " Ahh.. I heard about you. Nice to meet you ". Hyunsuk extended his hand and Haruto took it.
" I am Choi Hyunsuk ". " Nice to meet you too ". " Please sit down ". Haruto sat down on the chair. Hyunsuk and Junkyu sat down on the couch. " How is work going ? " " It is fine for now ". Hyunsuk nodded. " You should be careful. Don't stay out too late ". " I am not a kid hyung ". " But still. You are still single ". Junkyu nodded obediently.
He knew they cared for him. " Okay ". Hyunsuk smiled. They chatted about other things and also included Haruto in their conversations. After a while, they heard a knock. " Come in ". The door opened and a waiter informed that dinner was ready. " Alright ". He closed the door and walked away. " Let's go ".
They walked out of the room and went to another one beside which already had the table filled with various dishes. They just settled down when Jihoon and Yoshi also walked in. They all had a nice dinner together. Yoshi and Jihoon left after the dinner. Junkyu, Hyunsuk and Haruto took their time eating. Haruto got a call and went aside to pick up.
Hyunsuk leaned closer to Junkyu. " Yah, are you really not dating ? " Junkyu frowned. " Aish... I told you we are not ". " Fine. Then he is single, isn't he ? " Junkyu shrugged. " I heard that he is ". " It looks like he is ". " Really ? " " His aura is kind of like that ". Junkyu nodded. He suddenly thought about the day when Haruto took care of him.
If he really had someone, he wouldn't take some other omega to his house. Even if it is for help, it really wouldn't be nice. So he also thought that the chances were high for him to be single. Even his house looked way too much like a single guy's. Haruto came back and sat down. He took a sip of his drink. Hyunsuk leaned forward.
" Haruto-ssi, are you single ? " Junkyu coughed not expecting Hyunsuk to ask it just like that. But Haruto did not seem to mind it and nodded. " Yes ". Junkyu picked up the glass, hiding the smile by drinking. Hyunsuk nodded. " Why is that so ? " He continued to probe. " I haven't found anyone I want to be with ". Hyunsuk hummed.
" That is understandable ". Haruto gave a nod. They chatted for a while more and decided to call it a day. Hyunsuk shook hands with Haruto. " Please don't hesitate to come meet me too. Since you are their friend, you are always welcome here ". Haruto smiled. " Thank you so much ". Hyunsuk smiled and turned to Junkyu.
" How are you going ? " " I- " Junkyu was about to answer but Haruto cut him off. " I will drop him ". Haruto was the only one who didn't drink out of them as he had to drive back home. Hyunsuk nodded. " Drive safe ". Haruto gave a bow. Junkyu gave Hyunsuk a hug and walked out along with Haruto. He turned to Haruto. " Why did you say that ? "
Haruto smiled and turned to Junkyu too. " It was because of Junkyu-ssi that I got to have a nice dinner and all the other things today. So I want to return the favor a little ". Junkyu nodded and did not object. They informed Jihoon and Yoshi as well and walked out. They got in the car and Haruto drove to Junkyu's house.
Junkyu wasn't completely drunk but he was on the lighter side, so after a certain amount, he would feel a bit tipsy. And the comfortable car ride made him feel more muddle headed. Haruto was a very smooth driver. Junkyu leaned back in the seat and just stayed silent through the whole ride. Haruto parked the car and turned to Junkyu.
They reached his apartment. Junkyu slowly sat up properly. He took off the seat belt and picked up his bag. He turned to the door to get out but stopped. He turned back around to Haruto. " Sir... you... you know you are too nice for your own good right ? " Haruto laughed at those words. " I am only nice to people I want to be nice to. Not anyone or everyone ".
Junkyu pursed his lips and took a few seconds to comprehend it. He then gave a nod. " That's good ". Haruto smiled. Junkyu looked at him again. " Then why are you nice to me ? " Haruto leaned a little towards Junkyu. " Because I want to ". Junkyu bit his lip and Haruto could see his eyes shining from the street light.
Junkyu blinked and averted his eyes. He quickly got out of the car and walked away. Haruto laughed as he watched Junkyu escape. He shook his head and drove away to go home. Junkyu quickly went to his house and went to the bathroom. He splashed his face with the cold water. He took deep breaths to calm down.
Since he was already there, he stripped and finished his shower too. He sat down on the bed after dressing up and felt more clear headed. He thought back to the scene in the car. " Is he flirting with me ? " He asked no one but his cheeks gained light color. He quickly shook his head. " No way ". He convinced himself. He got under the sheets and fell asleep.
