"Eunseok! Eunseok!!"

"Yea?" answers the blonde haired guy who is supposedly to be Eunseok. "What's the fuss about Minhyuk? You're bursting my damn ears through the phone".

"Aha sorry! I was too excited. The Baek company has accepted our offer and the client is personally attending the deal tomorrow".

"oh--"

"I have a favour to ask you..attend the tomorrow's meeting for me please"

"what?"

" Please do it for me, I'll tip you extra"

"wow- wow- wait hold on- why would I be attending instead of you, you're the chief--"

"Yes yes all that but nobody will know, plus tomorrow I have an urgent appointment which I cannot decline. Please, Eunseok pleaaaaaase?"

"Damn you 'boss' , okay fine don't forget the extra tip tho"

"okay okay , thanks. I knew I could count on you--"

"yea yea alright."

"Goodnight Eunseok"

*hangs up*

"Goodnight my ***. why tf did I agree again?? Oh yea the tip. Ah pathetic."

Eunseok sighs and lays on his muddled bed. He stares at the ceiling expressionless. He thinks about his two younger siblings who are still in middle school, he has to pay their tuition fees, the overdue rent and the debt his runaway father left as the only 'souvenir' to his family.

Eunseok is a young yet very mature and responsible youth for his age. He did not get time to enjoy his youth days, to fullfill all the debts and have his two siblings grow successful is all his priority.

"What if I can't pay the debts in time.. what will happen to us.. What will happen to--"

"Hyung.. Hyung.." a quivering voice calls out Eunseok which brings him out of his thoughts.

"What's the matter, Eunwoo? " Eunseok asks , worriness clear on his face.

"Can I... sleep with you tonight?" the younger puckers his lips . "I .. I get so many nightmares... about dad, I tried to wake Nari but she's sound asleep.. she didn't budge..I'm scared..."

Eunseok looks at his younger assuringly, and pats him on his back "It's alright.. You shall sleep with Hyung tonight. "

The younger snuggles up swiftly to his Hyung. He's fast asleep in no time.

"Goodnight , Eunwoo. Sleep tight. Hyung shall protect you. " Just then a tear escapes his eye and in no time he's asleep too.

*ttringgg ttrrinngg*

"ughh, hello?"

"OH HEY EUNSEOK!! "

The energetic voice.. surely Eunseok would never forget the owner of this voice. Minhyuk. Kang Minhyuk.

"what are you calling me so early for?"

"ABOUT YESTERD-"

"Keep your damn voice low, Uncle. aaaugh-"

"Language- my bad . So I hope you didn't forget about the deal yesterday?"

*Eunseok forgot*

"uhh- YEA CRAP!!"

"Now who's the loud one here?? anyways I had to inform you, the clients will be there at 10AM . Be on time. Goodluck. love you"

"What the hell?"

*hangs up*

He looks at the time it's already 8:45AM . He jerks out of his muddled bed and rushes to bathroom.

He then notices the sticky note on his headboard , clean handwriting

" Thankyou Hyung. I'll be leaving for school now. Nari prepared the breakfast today, do have it . Let's Work Hard together."

Eunseok was touched at how his siblings treated him. Even though he considered himself to be a failure. He then rushes out to leave thinking, "Yeah! Eunseok let's work hard today!! let's get the deal. I can do this !!"

He then looks at the time It's almost 9:30 so he takes the shortcut in the alley to his work.

WORKPLACE

*HUFF HUFF HUFF HUFF*

Eunseok catches his breath, when a tall man approaches him

"Goodmorning, Mr Lee. Mr. Kang sent me here incase you needed anything, I'm here to provide you acquaintance. This way please"

Eunseok follows behind him, he's stopped at the end of the hallway, infront of the second last room. The tall man gestures Eunseok to go in, he informs bodyguards aren't allowed inside.

Eunseok sighs and walks in with a nonchalant expressionless look until...

.

.

.

.

.

He sees the man who causes him to frown and back his steps a bit further. The man notices Eunseok, stares at him for awhile and smirks. Eunseok's expressions are anything but happy . He's fidgeting as soon as he's seated infront of the man.

"Baek Hyeon" Smiles, the man visibly taller and built bigger body than Eunseok, extends his hand forward to Eunseok, who's constantly fidgeting and shaking his legs.

"Ahemm" Eunseok is startled and looks at his hands before pulling himself together,

"Lee Eunseok" he says firmly before extending his hand, but he felt his hand tightly clenched it was almost starting to ache.

Eunseok tries to retract his hand but he's pulled in by Baekhyeon.

"What the fuc--" Eunseok tries to pull back cursing but he's vulnerable to Baekhyeon pulling him by his waist, his lips near Eunseok's ear .. he could feel the hot breathe , it sends shiver down hus spine.

"shhh, koneko chan.. I let you run away and hide but after all this years, you've come to me by your own feet . You came back to me HAHAHA.. I won't let you run away now.." *smooch*

Eunseok's too stunned to speak with whatever happened just now. He's just there laid on Baekhyeon expressionless, more like anger flickering his eyes but he didn't say a word.

"Good boy, Koneko-chan."

These words still ringing on his mind as he retracts back from the man who just sexually harassed him , while he was too stunned to do anything.

He gathers himself and tries to talk about the 'deal' , the real business.. but Baekhyeon's eyes aren't focused on the deal but the real deal infront of him.

His sleek back, and tiny waist .. looks like he got more skinnier. Did he get sick? The way he talks and fidgets when he catches Baekhyeon staring.. All these, Baekhyeon wants pounce on him right there and devour him.
