SAEYOUNG POV

"What?" Saeyoung asked confused.

He didn't understand.

Here he was, sitting at the couch in front of the chairman talking about his plan of departure

Saeyoung has prepared his luggage. It was only one suitcase and the only important things he has there are his phone and laptop.

He even dyed his hair black.

And the old man is saying ridiculous things.

"I never agreed to send you to Jumin" the chairman said calmly, unmoving.

Saeyoung racked his brain. He has asked the man not two days ago.

"You got to be kidding" Saeyoung exclaimed incredulous.

"I promised to help you send information to Jumin so that he would finish his deal earlier." the old man crossed his arms.

"I never said you would be the one delivering it."

So that's how you're playing. Saeyoung thought shaking his head.

"I'm more than capable of this" Saeyoung gestured vaguely, at a loss of words to describe the situation.

Saeyoung stood up from the couch and walked straight to the chairman's desk.

"I'm simply asking that you help me help your son" Saeyoung put his hands on his waist standing in front of the man.

"No" the chairman looked at him, challenging him.

"Then how do you plan on delivering this information?" Saeyoung raised an eyebrow.

Is this guy even thinking? Saeyoung wanted to pummel the old man for making him look stupid.

The old man smiled.


His doctor must have been right. Jumin thought.

He is exhausted.

Physically...

Maybe mentally, too.

Jumin knows that his work is getting affected. Even his remarkable memory. He is still berating himself for forgetting his no device state earlier this week.

If he forgot his current, is he forgetting something else too? Jumin muttered under his breath.

His doctor adviced at least eight days of vacation and to go back to his old workload. Jumin remembered that the guy muttered that his old workload was not healthy though it was healthier than this.

Jumin shook his head. Well that was months ago.

Before Jumin even came here.

Jumin was even avoiding Elizabeth the 3rd. It wasn't that he was mad at her. Aside from V and Rika, she's the only one who hasn't denied his issues.

Not that she can deny anything or understand what his saying. Jumin thought.

Jumin sighed. He should really take a power nap. He hasn't been sleeping well since...

Jumin grimaced. He couldn't remember a good sleep before his father announced Jumin's marriage arrangement.

He could just be forgetting things...

As he went to the couch and lay there, Jumin couldn't help but wish that he was home.


JUMIN POV

"You're being obsolete, Jay. You don't need to follow my me everywhere, you know" Jumin claimed in mild annoyance.

Jumin woke up from his fifteen minute nap seeing the face of his employee looking down at him.

Jumin doesn't remember ordering the man to work with him. Jumin raised to sit properly on the couch.

"Ah, I apologize for disturbing your sleep, young master" Jay said sheepishly.

Jumin shook his head. He was going to wake up anyways. He didn't think that the presence of the man woke him up. He inspected the man standing in front of his.

"Did father ask you to do this?"

Jay shook his head. "I volunteered to go"

Jumin raised an eyebrow. "You do realized this situation isn't exactly safe."

Jay sat of the opposite sit and nodded.

"I am much safer than you here" Jumin pointed out. Jay nodded again.

"Your family no longer has the obligation to serve my family. You know that, right?" Jumin asked again.

What exactly is this guy thinking? Jumin thought.

There is no merit on coming here. Maybe a little bit of recognition but that is useless right now. Jay or Jay's family do not need those. Jumin thought.

Jay's family is from a long line of retainers and though Jumin know that the Han family can be traced back to the royal family. It was still unrecognizable. They don't have any ties there now. Jumin doesn't understand how come Jay's family stick with them all those years.

Jay doesn't need money anyways. Their family's financial state is on par with the Han.

What's with this treatment? Jumin mused.

"Why are you here, then?"

Jay chuckled. "I was watching you since we were kids, young master. I can't help but worry about you, you know"

Jumin gave him a perplexed look.

"Let's leave it like that, okay?" Jay smiled, rampaging into his bag. Jumin didn't even noticed the thing. He must still be sleepy.

Jay handed him a paper and he took it.

It looked like some file of gibberish but Jumin noticed some patterns. They were just a bunch of different words in different languages stuck together.

Jumin noticed that they were in the languages he was fluent in.

Jumin nodded. "I see. Thank you". He said already deciphering the note he was given, smirking a little.

Jumin have to admit. A puzzle from their favorite genius hacker is always worth solving.

"Glad to be of help"
