Chapter 10 - Chapter 9

Third person point of view

They heard a rumble again but nothing happened. Both of them looked around, still sitting on the floor. The lights flickered once and that was all. They continued to chat some more. " How do you know Jihoon and Yoshi ? " Haruto asked and moved to sit facing Junkyu. Junkyu also did the same. Junkyu explained.

" Jihoon is my childhood friend and I also know his lover. Choi Hyunsuk, the owner of the bar. He was my neighbor. And I met Yoshi because of Jihoon. They both studied together ". Haruto nodded. They fell silent after that. Junkyu looked at Haruto who was looking at something in his phone. He bit his lip wondering if he should ask. He built up his courage.

" Are you dating anyone ? " Junkyu asked but at the same time there was another rumble along with a screech. The lights also flickered again. Haruto looked around and then at Junkyu. He raised an eyebrow. Junkyu just shook his head. They could hear the elevator moving this time and the number on the display also changed. 

Both of them stood up and picked up their things. " Finally ". Junkyu said and both of them smiled. The elevator soon reached their floor and some employees from their department were waiting for them. As soon as they walked out, the team leaders bombarded them with questions. 

Haruto shielded Junkyu a little. He and Junkyu waited for them to calm down first. Once they did, Haruto answered all their questions. Junkyu also chimed in between. When their curiosity was satisfied, they retreated. The show was over and they all went back to their seats. Junkyu also went to his desk.

His teammates surrounded him about how he was. When Junkyu told them he was fine they also went back to work. His day went by in the usual manner. When they went for lunch, the topic of their discussion was Haruto. Junkyu didn't say anything but listened to them talk. It was almost as if he was not interested.

But he was listening to it all. One of them suddenly spoke about his love life. " Isn't he single ? " This question caught Junkyu's attention. He still didn't openly show interest but his ears perked up and he ate a mouthful while paying close attention. " He is... right ? " Another guy said. They all looked at each other.

One of the girls spoke up. " It looks like it. There was never any talk about him having a lover. So he probably is single ". Junkyu nodded to himself. One of them sighed. " But isn't it a pity ? He's got everything but is not dating ". The others also agreed and grumbled. " Did he ever talk about his ideal type ? " Junkyu slowed down his eating. 

" Why do I think he did ? " " Really ? " " Oh. I remember. Once when a friend of mine from another team and I went to the washroom, our team leader was saying that he will introduce someone. And then our manager said that he doesn't particularly have a type, as long as they are a nice person and have some chemistry with him and you know their vibes in general ". 

All of them nodded. " He is quite open minded I see ". Junkyu noted down these in his heart. " But there is a rumor that he once rejected a beta who proposed to him ". " When did that happen ? " " I am not sure either. But I heard it somewhere. That a beta girl who joined as an intern once proposed to him and he rejected ". 

" Well... he is an alpha after all. Wouldn't he prefer an omega ? " " He doesn't seem like someone who will show that kind of bias ". Junkyu agreed mentally. " Then maybe he just didn't like that person ". They all nodded and started talking about their love lives. Junkyu stopped paying attention. He focused on his lunch. 

Once he was done, he went back and sat at his desk. He let out a sigh. He unlocked his phone and saw Haruto's chat. There was nothing in it. The both of them were not close enough to chat and there was no need too. So they just never did. Junkyu clicked his tongue. He put it away and continued with his work. 

Their team asked to go for dinner together since they haven't in a while and so all of them went together. They all drank too and went home a little late. Junkyu went to take a shower as soon as he entered the house. He fell on the bed once he was done. He let out a sigh in content. He picked up his phone and opened Haruto's chat again. 

The profile picture looked like he was in some cafe. It looked like a candid photo. Junkyu smiled and there weren't many moments shared. Only a few of some drinks, some of the sky and some showing that he was working. It was very simple. He let out a sigh. He put the phone away and decided to sleep.
