"Why the hell my head hurts so much?" Jeonghan woke up while groaning to himself but was absolutely taken aback when he saw Seungcheol sitting beside him, scrolling through his phone.
"Why are you so scared to see me as if I'm a ghost or something?" Seungcheol turned off his phone.
"I can think of dealing with ghosts for once but not you." Jeonghan retorted.
"So you're definitely mad at me."
"As if I have the rights." Jeonghan scoffed, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm sorry." Seungcheol looked at the younger and he seemed to be fully awake by these words.
"What?"
"Yeah I'm sorry for whatever I said yesterday when I came to your office." Seungcheol paused, "I know my behaviour can't be excused but yeah, everything going on these days is just messing with my mind and I can't help it."  
Jeonghan remained silent. He didn't know how to react because for the first time, he was really upset. He knew he had wronged Seungcheol in the past but he was and will forever be sorry for it. Shouldn't Seungcheol at least acknowledge his efforts and give him a chance to repent instead of calling him out? So for whatever had happened, should Jeonghan let it go?
"Sorry for yelling at you, sorry for calling you irrelevant and ridiculous names. I'll make sure it never happens again." Seungcheol paused,  "I'm going back to my room. Morning is almost over, I've texted Joshua that you won't go to office today. Let's go on a lunch, together."
"It's fine Seungcheol, you don't need to compensate for anything." Jeonghan smiled lightly, "I'm not upset."
"It's neither a compensation nor related to anything that happened previously." Seungcheol explained, "We've been dealing with a lot lately. Let's go out and refresh our moods. Get ready, see you in an hour."
"Okay." Jeonghan simply nodded.
"And yeah, Jeonghan, you aren't drinking for at least 15 days." Seungcheol rebuked, "Touch alcohol and then wait for me to make you regret it."
"Wha-" Jeonghan recalled a few crumbs from last night.
"We'll talk when you're sober, okay?"
"Jeonghan, stop it please. I know I said the wrong things to you but I don't mean it."
"Tell me Jeonghan, what else do you want me to do to you when the staff is not around?"
"I don't force you, because I don't WANT to, NOT because I can't. If you'll fuel me like this, trust me, you will have to start begging me to stop."
"Oh shi-" Jeonghan looked at Seungcheol but he couldn't recall anything after he was brought back home.
"Jeonghan? What happened?" Seungcheol crossed his hands across his chest.
"Uh- nothing." Jeonghan scratched the back of his neck, "Thank you for bringing me home, last night."
"It's alright, don't worry!" Seungcheol smiled, "Now, get ready!"
