The office was unusually quiet. Only the trapping of the keyboard and the distance hum of the AC filled the air.
Laika sat at his desk, eye tired, shoulder tense, he hadn't slept properly for a days
Laika was sorting documents when a new email notification popped up
Laika hesitated, his heart already felt heavy - like it knew something was wrong
Laika
He read the email again and again
It felt like someone had ripped something out of his chest
Laika
...He doesn't care... anymore...
His vision blurred. And fingers trembled over the keyboard. he bit lips hard to stop it from quivering
People around him were working normally but for Laika
Laika
lowered his head, pretending to check the files
Laika
tears slipped out, he quickly whiped it
Laika
" why did you send this....? did I do something wrong..." ( his voice cracked.)
kairo
feelings only create weaknesses. I don't need that in my life."
kairo
"just focus on work. That's all that matters."
kairo
Laika. We have a meeting in fifteen minutes. The new business partner is arriving. I need these files ready. "
Laika heart sank. Not because of work- because of him. He had hoped... Maybe ... kairo came because of him.
Laika
(Softly, trying to hide his hurt ); Y- yes.. I will finish them
Kairo leaned slightly over the desk, scanning the documents. His presence was closed enough that Laika could feel the scent of his cologne. His breath brushed over Laika's hair for a split second.
And then kairo straightened, stepping back. cold , professional, untouchable.
kairo
Don't get distracted. focus. The partner is very particular about details. "
Laika
(whispering to himself); you came.... But Only for work.
kairo
Kairo glanced at him one last time, expression unreadable and walked towards the meeting room.

Watching him from the shadows

The coworker blinks, confused.
