Third person point of view
For the next two days, Junkyu didn't see Haruto anywhere. He did feel a bit down but it wasn't too bad. He was done with his work earlier and was thinking of helping others. His phone vibrated and he picked it up. It was Haruto. His eyes lit up and he quickly opened it.
Haruto : Are you done with work ?
Junkyu : Yeah, just now.
Haruto : I need to go to another meeting. So accompany me.
Junkyu was about to type that he has to ask the team leader. But Haruto sent another message.
Haruto : I will tell Jeongwoo.
Junkyu : Okay.
Haruto : Come to the parking lot.
Junkyu : Done.
Junkyu put his phone aside and started packing his things up. Haruto smiled at the reply and immediately called Jeongwoo. Jeongwoo picked up pretty quickly. " What is it ? " " I am borrowing Junkyu ". " What ? " " I am going out for a deal ". " But- " " Weren't you telling me to do something about my love life ? Don't ask so much then ". " YAH- " Haruto hung up.
Jeongwoo glared at the screen. " That is TMI ! I didn't need to know about it ". Jeongwoo felt a headache coming his way. He saw Junkyu coming up to him and changed his expression. Junkyu was about to speak but Jeongwoo raised his hand. " I know. You are done with your work today right ? " Junkyu nodded.
" Go ". " Thank you sir ". Jeongwoo smiled. Junkyu walked away. " The one who should be thankful isn't ". Jeongwoo mumbled and got back to work. Haruto waited in his car for Junkyu. Junkyu got out of the elevator and thought he would see Haruto there like last time but he wasn't there. He picked up his phone and called him.
Haruto picked up in one ring. " Hello ". Junkyu thought that Haruto's voice was just as charming on the call too. Haruto frowned when he didn't hear a reply. " Junkyu-ssi ? " Junkyu came out of his thoughts. " Ah.. where is your car parked ? " Haruto gave directions and Junkyu followed them to reach the car.
Junkyu hung up and got in the passenger seat. He put his bag aside and buckled up. Haruto also put on his seat belt. " Let's go ? " Junkyu extended his hand. " File ? " Haruto blinked and took out his bag from the back. He took out the tablet and opened a document. He then gave it to Junkyu.
Junkyu took it and sat back. " Let's go now ". Haruto smiled and drove out of there. Junkyu read it carefully on their way. He was done by the time they reached the place. It was a cafe this time. The both of them went to the counter first and ordered drinks. They sat down and Junkyu looked out of the window.
There were people and vehicles bustling about. " How are you ? " Junkyu frowned at the question and turned to Haruto. " What is that sudden question ? " " Just asking ". " Good ". Haruto nodded. " How about sir ? You seemed really busy ". Haruto nodded. " I was busy ". Junkyu nodded. " They are here ". Haruto said, looking out.
Junkyu also looked out and saw a middle aged woman and a young man walking to the cafe. He picked up the tablet and made sure he had everything ready. The two of them walked up to their table and they stood up to greet them. They exchanged pleasantries and sat down. The young man went to get their drinks.
Haruto and the woman chatted in the meantime. The young man came back and they chatted a little before getting into the actual topic. Junkyu was attentive like last time and realized Haruto was still just as good. This time it didn't take too long. They were done faster than Junkyu expected. The woman shook hands with Haruto.
Junkyu gave her a bow which she returned with a smile. She walked ahead to walk out. The young man was an omega. Junkyu could tell. He took out a card and gave it to Haruto. Haruto took it with a neutral expression. He walked away after giving a smile. They both sat down. Haruto put the card in his bag without even sparing it a glance.
Junkyu didn't expect that. He saved a few changes in the document and gave the tablet back to Haruto. Haruto looked at it and nodded. " Thanks ". Junkyu smiled and relaxed. He rubbed his stomach feeling a little hungry. Haruto noticed it. " Want to have anything ? " Junkyu looked up at Haruto and nodded. " What do you want to eat ? "
" I will go get it ". " It is fine. Let me treat you. You helped me again ". Junkyu raised an eyebrow. " Why do you like feeding me so much ? " Haruto hummed. " I am not sure. But I do think you can gain a little weight ". Junkyu looked at himself. Haruto chuckled. " So what do you want ? " " Then... will you let me treat you to dinner ? "
Haruto cocked an eyebrow. " Fine ". Junkyu nodded. " So what do you want ? " " Anything will do ". Haruto got up and walked to the counter. Junkyu wasted time on his phone as he waited for Haruto to come back. Haruto came back with a tray. Junkyu's jaw hit the floor. There was a pastry, a cheesecake and a mini waffle.
" Sir... you really want to make me fat ? " Haruto laughed. " How much fat can this give you ? You should eat even more if you really want to gain weight ". Junkyu sighed. He shouldn't have let Haruto choose. He picked up the fork to eat it. Haruto also ate a little of each of them. The remaining was all eaten by Junkyu.
He felt stuffed and took deep breaths. " I need to take a walk ". Haruto chuckled. They were done anyway. He got up and Junkyu also did. They took their things and walked out of there. They walked along the road side so that Junkyu could digest the food. Junkyu gave a grudgeful look to Haruto.
Haruto pretended to not see it. They walked till the end of the street and then walked back. As they were walking, Haruto took out the card and threw it away in a bin on the side. Junkyu's eyebrows shot up. " I thought sir was going to keep it ". " If I keep every card I get, I won't have enough space to store them all ".
Junkyu laughed. But he really believed that it would be the case. Haruto spoke again. " It is rude to throw it right away ". Junkyu tilted his head. " But you still did though ? " Haruto nodded. " Not right away ". Junkyu was amused by the logic. He gave him a double thumbs up. Haruto chuckled. They went back to the car and got in.
" What do we do ? There is still time for dinner ". Haruto asked, buckling up. Junkyu shrugged. " I am not sure ". Haruto thought about it. " How about this ? Tell me a restaurant near your house. We will go there. It will kill some time and I can drop you easily ". Junkyu nodded. There was one which he frequented near his house.
He showed the location to Haruto. Haruto entered it in the GPS and drove away. He played some songs to fill in for the silence. It did take some time for them to reach there. They went in and sat down. Haruto observed the place. It was cozy and had good ambience. " Do you come here often ? " Junkyu nodded.
Junkyu told Haruto about his favorites there. " What will you order ? " " I won't eat much. Probably some soup. I really can't have much. Sir can order whatever you want ". Haruto nodded. They both ordered the food they liked and it was served pretty quickly. They finished dinner while chatting about the meeting that just happened.
And Junkyu paid for it just like he wished. Haruto then dropped Junkyu to his house which was nearby. He parked the car outside. Junkyu turned to Haruto. " Drive safe ". Haruto nodded. Junkyu smiled and got out. He walked inside and turned around. He waved at Haruto who waved back.
Junkyu smiled and went in. Haruto waited till Junkyu wasn't in his sight. He then looked ahead for a few seconds not knowing what he was thinking. He let out a breath and drove out of there. Junkyu went home and took a shower. He fell on the bed and let out a sigh. These days he was feeling tired easily. He rolled around for a while and then fell asleep.
