🤗 - Sneak up behind my muse and hug them - for ai and jongdae
it was a challenging day, to say the least. piles upon piles of papers had stacked on his desk throughout the day, and he hadn’t noticed how high the stack towered until four o’clock - an hour before he was supposed to leave to go meet up with ai. he had promised her he’d make this work, and he wanted so desperately to do so... maybe he could work up until he needed to leave, leave, see her, come back and work through the night. god made caffeine exist for a reason, right? he could afford to not sleep for a night. being in meetings all day hadn’t helped this situation, but, well, when you’re the boss... you’re the boss.
he hadn’t even made a slight dent in all the paperwork when five rolled around, and his phone buzzed with a text from ai asking where he was. fuck. he quickly texts her back letting her know he’d be downstairs in five minutes, but just after he presses send, the door swings open. he assumes it’s a secretary or his assistant, dropping more paperwork off, but that assumption quickly dies when he feels a pair of arms around his waist. he stops, looks down at the hands, and smiles. “hey you.” he turns in her hold, hands still filled with papers as he winds his own arms around her and kisses her forehead. “i’m sorry, i lost track of time. i was in and out of meetings all day and i came back to this stupid mountain of paperwork.” his inner ceo tells him to let her go and get back to work, but he ignores the crap out of him and immediately gives in to his inner romantic, slightly swaying with her as he keeps her there in his hold. his eyes close briefly, and he soaks in the security she brings him, before he straightens up and looks down at her with a smile. “you know what?” he dumps the stacks of papers on his desk wherever, he doesn’t care where, and he takes her hands in his. “let’s go. i’ll hire another assistant to help me with this tomorrow. i can spare the money and i need the help, and it gives someone a good job. and...” he presses his forehead to her’s, smiling, “it lets me focus on what’s really important here.” he kisses the tip of her nose before guiding her out of the office. “we’re springing for extra fancy today to make up for my being late. let me make a few calls.”
