Summary: Do Kyungsoo, the well-known journalist for his blunt comments and writing, is getting involved with the famous and arrogant high-class business man Kim Jongin. Things go into the wrong way for the both of them because of one simple deal at the beginning. Or, is it on the right way?


















It’s just another usual afternoon where Kyungsoo is forced to have a lunch with the one and only jerk Kim Jongin. He has refused again and again but the male ignores him and drags him all the way into his car and then saying,

“My treat.”

So here Kyungsoo is sulking in the passenger seat. He ignores every attempt from Kim Jongin who tries to start a light conversation with him. He is just being evil that way.

The music from the radio is on and Kim Jongin is still talking freely right now, until his phone suddenly rings and he turns into that perfect businessman again.

“Yes, what’s wrong?”

Kyungsoo steals a glance from the corner of his eye as he sees Kim Jongin answering the call.

“What do you mean with an accident?”

It grabs Kyungsoo’s attention because it’s not everyday you hear Kim Jongin speaking with authority and seriousness in his tone. Moreover, there’s an accident at wherever it is.

“No, just… handle whatever you could do. I’ll be coming soon.”

With that he hangs up the call and makes a sharp u-turn, driving the car back towards the way they are leaving. The car speeds a little and Kyungsoo glances at the panic face Kim Jongin is showing right now.

“What’s wrong?” He mutters, gripping onto the seatbelt while glancing between the road and the driving male.

Kim Jongin chews his lip.

“I’m sorry but there’s an accident in the construction site and I have to go there right now.”

Kyungsoo nods his head. Lunch could wait; they are not really that hungry though.







The car speeds through the roads and before Kyungsoo knows it, they have arrived at the construction site of Kim Corporation where they can see just how chaotic it is right now. Kim Jongin quickly steps out of his car and begins questioning his workers, where they quickly greet him before dragging him towards the accident spot.

Kyungsoo contemplates on going down as well or just waiting in the car. It seems rude to just sit and wait but he wouldn’t be able to help anything even when he gets down.

So…?

After another minute of thinking, Kyungsoo decides to just get down and walks a bit closer to where he can find Kim Jongin spewing orders to the workers.



“Treat those who are hurt right now. Don’t wait any longer; I don’t want their wounds become too serious or infectious.”

“Yes, Sir. What about the machine?”

“I guess we can’t do much for the machines. Make a call to the main branch and tell the situation more clearly. Gather a few men to clean the construction from unimportant things that could harm more people.”



Kyungsoo watches from afar, seeing Kim Jongin talking with serious face and commanding tone. It’s a very different sight from what he usually sees so it’s new. It’s surprisingly quite… refreshing.

All the images he has ever seen about Kim Jongin are annoying, flirt, arrogant, and all those bad ones. It’s interesting to see him doing his job like a real CEO and not just a flirty kid being placed in the chair of businessmen.

With a new found feeling, Kyungsoo makes his way back into the car and keeps his eyes on the CEO who is still commanding orders to his workers.







“Thank you so much, Mr. Kim!” The workers bow to him gratefully.

Kyungsoo props his head with his elbow against the rolled down window of the car, watching the scene with great interest because he has never known just how the workers see Kim Jongin.

The sky is dark by now and both Kim Jongin and the workers look so exhausted but overall they look relieved. They chat a few more minutes and also Kim Jongin giving them a few more orders before they bow and wave thankfully at him.

Kyungsoo waits until Kim Jongin sits inside the car, a loud sigh leaving his lips and a hand running up to mess his hair.

It’s silent; because Kyungsoo knows that Kim Jongin is tired.

He sees Kim Jongin reaches up to loosen his tie and slumps against the seat, before he turns to Kyungsoo and sends him a quick smile.

“Sorry about that.”

Kyungsoo shakes his head. “No, it’s fine.” He replies silently.



He might has stared too long without saying anything because Kim Jongin is glancing back at him and curiously questions,

“What’s wrong?”

Kyungsoo feels a tug on the corner of his lips and he holds back himself from smiling.

“Nothing. Say, want to grab a quick dinner? I know some place.”

Kim Jongin chuckles and nods at his suggestions, before starting the engine and drives his car away from the site.











Kyungsoo hums, adjusting his glasses in top of his nose as he types away on his laptop. His article has been improving with the time he spends on watching Kim Jongin and his daily life.



The rich male Kim Jongin doesn’t seem as perfect as he looks in front of you all. Lies behind the perfect male is a snobby partying male with different girls in his arm on each night, words sharper than a knife, and deals more dangerous than venom.

No one knows how bad Kim Jongin’s life but let’s reveal it one by one.

Kim Jongin, or what people know as the perfect Chief Executive Officer of Kim Corporation is no other than—



He stops.



It doesn’t feel fair. He has seen such a different side of Kim Jongin today and it doesn’t feel fair to write such lie about his working sight.

The way he handles the chaos, the way he gives orders, the way the workers look up at him and thank him –



Kyungsoo watches the blinking cursor beside the last word he has typed in his document.

It’s fucked up; but Kyungsoo finds his finger pressing the delete button on a long time and he starts everything over.

With a little bit nicer words.











“Please forgive me about yesterday’s lunch. I should treat you to your heart content today to make up about it.” Kim Jongin mutters as they are done ordering the food.

Kyungsoo furrows an eyebrow at him and scoffs.

“No need to. But if you insisted then, why now?”

Kim Jongin laughs at his sarcastic reply and they bicker a few more minutes before their orders arrive and they start eating in silence.



Something has changed between them. It’s not visible but Kyungsoo could feel it. Maybe it’s because he has seen such a professional side of Kim Jongin yesterday and a part of his brain has told him that he has been too cruel towards him.

Well, not his fault.



Kyungsoo drinks from his glass when suddenly his phone rings. It’s a custom ringtone, and he knows all too well on whom the caller might be.

“I’m sorry but I have to go.” He mutters quickly and ignores the surprised look from Kim Jongin as he grabs his messenger bag and runs out of the restaurant.

“Hey! Wait!” Kim Jongin calls after him but Kyungsoo could care less for now.







Kyungsoo runs towards the pub breathlessly, ignoring his lungs’ protest and enters the smelly face with a scrunched up nose.

People are drunk and the smell of sweat and drugs are too strong. It’s still in the noon yet those people have started their party so early.

His eyes scan the whole place for the sight of someone and when he finds that familiar male getting a punch over his face by the bar counter, Kyungsoo runs towards the said spot and stops whoever it is.

“Please don’t hit him! What’s happening here?” He begs, ignoring the stench of alcohol coming from the male he is holding.

“He refuses to pay! That bastard!” The angry male grunts while lifting his fist again and aiming for him.

“No, please! I-I will pay! How much?” Kyungsoo sighs.



After giving such amount of money to the angry male, Kyungsoo grabs the one he is responsible of and drags him out of the pub. The drunken male struggles to break free from him and once they walk closer to the brick alley with stray cats hanging around, the male yanks his arms away.

“Get away from me.”

Kyungsoo bites his own lip.

“Hyung,” he calls tiredly, “until when are you going to act like this?”

The male ignores him, clearly sobering on each passing second.

“Hyung!” Kyungsoo demands an answer as he grabs his arm, only to be yanked away and he ends up toppling over onto the ground.







Jongin runs after Do Kyungsoo right after the male sprints out of the restaurant. From the look of his face, it’s not something good and he could see him paling after that phone call.

He wonders what Do Kyungsoo is doing, entering a pub and dragging a stranger out of it.

Do Kyungsoo speaks to the male, Jongin could see from the corner he is hiding, and the stranger clearly ignores him.

It irks him when the stranger pushes Do Kyungsoo away and Jongin almost steps out of his hiding place to help him.

But seeing the condition where the stranger male is walking away from Do Kyungsoo, and the way Do Kyungsoo is holding onto his hand to stop him from walking away, Jongin is kind of glad he doesn’t step into the scene because it could be quite chaotic.

The stranger yanks his hold and walks away, leaving Do Kyungsoo alone standing there.



Jongin watches Do Kyungsoo stares longingly at the stranger male’s back before crouching down and breaks into tears.

Who is that male that manages to ruin Do Kyungsoo’s good mood just with a phone call?

He doesn’t know how long he has been hiding, watching Do Kyungsoo crying into his knees by the side of the empty street before finally the little journalist rise up on his feet and walks away.

He follows him around. Jongin could see him acting so lifeless, bumping onto people as he walks and ignoring the grumbling from people.



The sky roars, thunder sounding so loud before the first drop of rain hits the concrete ground. Jongin drives his car slowly while keeps following Do Kyungsoo who is by now walking under the rain without anything to cover himself, not even an umbrella.

He wants to just go down and drag the male into his car but it makes him shows too much care and blow up his stalking.

So he ends up following him from behind until he sees Do Kyungsoo entering his house.

With a sigh, Jongin drives his car away.







Kyungsoo drops his bag and slides down against the door, ignoring the shiver coming from himself being wet because of the rain.

He couldn’t help but cry because he is being pushed away again.

Kyungsoo doesn’t know why he keeps on pushing him away. He just wants to help. He wants him back, just like he used to be. He doesn’t want to see him act so miserable and downing glasses after glasses of alcohol.

It hurts his heart and Kyungsoo cries into his sleep just at the thought of him.











Jongin sits down on his leather seat, feeling fidgety because of the scene unveiled in front of his eyes just now.

Who is that male and what’s his relationship with Do Kyungsoo?

Why would Do Kyungsoo get him out of the pub?

Why would Do Kyungsoo cry over him?

Who exactly is that man?



It drives him crazy. He is curious.



Pressing the intercom, Jongin calls for his secretary and when she replies his call, he speaks,

“Find out everything about Do Kyungsoo. Do not miss a single thing.”
