Am still breathing

Sequel to : "You killed me."


Seokjin couldn't shake off the uncomfortable feeling washing all over himself , especially with the way the man has been raking his eyes all over his body for the past half hour.
His fingers ached to slap him back to reality and manners but he refrained from using violence , just yet , in order to complete the new bakery project they're both working on.


He handed him the last document to sign , with the hand that has the ring on , on purpose , what he didn't expect is the way his expressions changed from flirty and dreamy to cold and gloomy in seconds.


"Say Seokjin , you never told me you're married."
Jin forced a small Chuckle before replying : "Well I never said I was single either Baekho , and you already know that I have a son."


Mentioning his son ,Jinwo, made his heart ache a little bit . He remembered how his poor baby cried really hard in his first day in the kindergarten the moment the teacher took him away from Jin and till now he still struggle with going to school without shedding a few tears.
This boy's pout is a killer but Jin reminds himself each time that it's for his own good and he should be tough.
He wants to raise a strong independent boy. And he will.


"Oh yeah , the cute bunny you once brought with you to work."
"He had fever and I had to watch over him."
"Say...we have to celebrate our progress so how about -"
"Sorry Baek , I promised my baby to spend the rest of the day with him."

"Jinwo , come here you chubby marshmallow! They're playing your favorite movie!"
Seokjin called while dropping his weight on the couch .


"Ponyooo!" Jinwo came cheering (violently) before settling on Jin's lap and making himself comfortable.
Somehow mid movie , his son turned to look at him , his black eyes shinning  innocently like two small stars. He was on the verge of sleeping but kept fighting to stay awake so they could watch the movie together then prepare dinner.


In an unexpected move , Jinwo lifted Jin's pink shirt , revealing his flat tummy and started poking it.
"I was hele (here) ?" He asked in awe and Jin nodded while patting his hair.
"So... you are eomma!"
"W-what?"
"Miss said eomma carried us in tummy."
Jin chuckled before rubbing his nose against the other's tiny one.
"Appa...call me appa and I'll explain everything later , deal?"
"....Nu!"
"I'll buy you extra banana milk."
"Deal." Followed by a lazy yawn.
"You're sleepy bub?"
"Sweepy appa."
"How about I go get you a glass of milk to drink then we'll brush our teeth and you'll sleep next to me..how does it sound?"
He lifted his tiny thumbs up in agreement .

"Yes Tata , am working ." Seokjin said while adding more sugar and cinnamon to the dough , barely holding the phone between his shoulder and ear.
"*Laugh* Ya! Ya! I am your hyung!"
Jin sighed before placing the dough aside , wiping his hands with a clean towel then holding the phone properly with his hand.
"I missed Seoul a lot...and you...Jinwo keeps asking about you...Anyway Taehyungie , gotta go now , talk to you later!"
"Jin-ah , one of the customers want to see you." Lady Jane , said before going back to her task . She's a sweet , kind hearted old woman that works with Jin in the bakery,  considers him as her own son , in return he treats her like his own mother , the one he never actually had.


"Hello my name is Jung Hoseok." The extremely fashionable man said while extending his hand and Jin smiled and shook it.
The man literally had a sunshine halo above his head.
"How can I help Mr.Jung?"
"By telling me your name?"
"You gotta pay first." Hoseok chuckled while patting his shoulder . He felt a weird attraction to the baker and was actually welling to flirt with him until he noticed the ring he had on his finger so he refrained from doing so.
"I heard that this is one of the best bakeries around here."
"What a coincidence I heard the same thing."
Hoseok chuckled once again.
"We're opening a new company , our Ceo sent me to make a few arrangement including the food and dessert we're going to serve in the opening ceremony tomorrow."
"I see." Seokjin replied before grabbing his pencil and notebook .
"Ah , I already typed a list of our order. Here you go."
Jin took the paper and checked it carefully .
"We'll pay in cash." Hoseok added while Jin was calculating the total amount of cash .
"Very well then . Would you like them to be delivered to the adress on the list?"
"Yes please. Tomorrow at 6 pm sharp. And since we're good friends~"
Seokjin looked at him with a sly smile with one eye closed.
"Do I know you?"
"That hurt you know...As I was saying , you're invited to the ceremony as well and bring whoever you want with you."
"Isn't the company's opening ceremony exclusive to the employees and business men only?"
"And my friends."
"I'll think about it then...by the way , the name is Seokjin."


______________________________


It was 12:30 am already and Hoseok was starting to get really tired after a long day of working and making all the necessary arrangements for the ceremony . He was in charge of it and he wanted to prove how hardworking and serious he is to the Ceo , especially when he already made a good impression since day one that he was immediately chosen to be the Ceo's personal assistant.


"Good night Hoseok." Soyeon said with a smile before bowing slightly , he bowed back.
"Would you like me to order you a taxi Soyeonah? It's pretty late outside , especially for a lady ."
"No need to. My brother came to take me."
"Great."
"The ceo is still working?"
"Well yeah ...You know that he does nothing but working."
"He doesn't have a family ?"
"Not really..I don't think so."
"Oh...Bye Jung."
"Bye."



"Excuse me sir? I came here to deliver my report."
"Okay hyung just place it there."
Hoseok smiled warmly at the Ceo whom was younger than him .
"Are you excited for tomorrow's ceremony?" He asked while crossing his arms and the other just shrugged before filling up his glass of whiskey.
"Not really , you know how much I hate meeting all these rich hypocrites to celebrate the opening of a company they wish nothing but bankrupt for it."
"Wild...I invited some of my friends of you don't mind. They're cool."
"Okay."
"Ah there's this one I wanted to flirt with so bad but he turned out ti be married...but hey I'll find someone for both me and you tomorrow." Then he winked.
"I don't think that'll ever happen Hoseok."
"Ah Jungkook , try to loosen up a bit. You're acting like an old man!"
"Aren't you one hyung?"
"You little brat!"
