Season 2: Chapter Twenty

                                    

                                          
The two men was walking in the park and just like any other day the park was filled with people, not crowded.
Minho yawned and at the corner of Chan's eyes he saw it.
"I think we should go home now?" Chan uttered.
"I'm still fine," Minho stated "I needed to do this since I lacked days to do some small exercise." 
"Okay then." Chan replied, reassured.
"Ch- We've been doing things like this or eat out but I never get to ask you, which department are you in the company?" Minho started.
Chan didn't answer for awhile and just look staight ahead.
"I'm not just in any kind of department, I'm close and works with the CEO." Chan lied.
"Woah, so you mean you could see him everyday?" 
"Well...yeah? Just doin' some stuff for him." he lied again.
Minho stopped his track and crossed his arms and waited for Chan to stop too and will turned around to him.
"I'll be saying something very confidential," Minho started.
"What is it?" Chan question feeling so curious.
"I hate the CEO." 
Chan choked to his own saliva, "What?! Why would you hate him?" Chan raised his brows.
"The asshole kicked me out from my house. I was supposed to fight him because of it but I couldn't get the timing when he's in his office." 
"Oh really?" Chan questioned in amusement, he couldn't believe what Minho just said.
"And I already gave up few days ago." Minho sighed.
Chan sighed in relief, "Why did you even got kicked out from your house? And is it in the Clover Residencial Condo?"
"erh... Yes, I used to live in CRC and I think I messed up in the monthly billing."
"Oh...  So where are you staying now?" Chan asked.
"My friend." Minho simply answered.
Silence.
"So," Chan started as they walked over to a bench, "Do you really hate the CEO?"
"Yeah." 
Chan smiled, it was a clumsy move of Minho but nonetheless he couldn't say it was Minho's fault since the guy is working so hard that he doesn't care about the position of the employees in the company.
But Chan was glad that this guy didn't knew  who he really was because if Minho knew all along he would've kick Chan's ass in the very beginning.
Speaking of beginning when they met, Minho was looking at him with so much pain and shock in his eyes and then when he called him he got internally surprised and realized that this guy must've not know him.
"Minho-yah, the day... when we met, at the rooftop remember?" Chan questioned
Minho hummed.
"You were looking at me-"
"Oh, that..." Minho chuckled, "I was just emotional back then-"
"Why are you always cutting me off whenever I ask you about how we met?" Chan asked and made sure he didn't sound rude, "Are you hiding something?"
"Look, Chan I was about to answer but you cut me off." Minho muttered and he started to get annoyed.
"But why do I feel you are hiding something?" Chan asked and the conversation got heated up, "Why can't you just tell me?" 
"Look," Minho scoffed, "I know we're friends but that doesn't mean I'm going to tell you everything right away and besides we just started our friendship." 
Minho was getting uncomfortable, he doesn't want this to get any further 
Minho stood up, "I'm going home now."  
Chan sighed and felt bad at pressuring Minho.
"I'm sorry, Minho." he mumbled to himself as he watched Minho walking away.
He ran his fingers through his hair and frustatedly sighed, "I suck at things like this."
Then next day...
"Good morning, Mrs. Kim." Minho greeted as he entered the lady's office.
"Minho-sshi." Mrs. Kim called out and beamed a smile, "It's been awhile." 
Minho forced a smile, "I went here yesterday Mrs. Kim." 
Minho felt he was double killed when he saw the loads of another papers stocked on the table.
Mrs. Kim followed his gaze and chuckled, "Don't worry, it's not yours dear." 
Minho was mentally refreshed and energized after Mrs. Kim said that.
"I called you today because I wanted to tell you to have a day off or two."
Minho frowned, "All of a sudden? I mean I don't really take day offs besides holidays."
"That's why I'm telling you to." Mrs. Kim beamed. "You've been working so hard so I'm letting you rest for two days maximum."
Minho faked smile but obviously overdoing it that's why Mrs. Kim laughed.
"I must not see you tomorrow and the next day and make sure to come back on the opening ceremony of the B.C Hotel~" Mrs. Kim sing sang and exited her office leaving Minho shaking his head while smiling at the old lady, not really old.
•••
Minho's phone vibrated and he recieved a text from Chan.
Let's meet up at the rooftop.
Minho sighed, "It's already night time, the place would be dim, why meet there?" 
But nonetheless he went to the rooftop. 
There he saw Chan looking at the city below. The place was breathtaking in night time and Minho was in awe.
Minho slowly approached and went beside Chan with one meter distance.
They didn't talk nor look at each other but they stayed silent as they watched the city together.
"I never knew this place would be this nice in nigh time." Minho stated.
"I always come here every night just to see this." Chan muttered and faced Minho.
Minho averted his gaze as Chan was intensely looking at him.
"I'm sorry about yesterday night." Chan muttered and looked back to the city looking down.
Minho bit his lips and didn't utter anything.
"I didn't realize I was already crossing the line." he continued. "I should've been more careful with my words."
Silence.





"Bang Chan," Minho started, lump forming in his throat and tears verge to fall. "Bang Chan was the name of the guy I loved."
