Monday

William left his condo after their 'awkward' lunch, saying their 'thank you' to each other and bidding their 'goodbye' and 'see you at work on Monday' while faces were still beet red. And when the two were apart, that's the only time that the two men breath out their embarrassment and cursing themselves in their minds. Both are telling themselves to forgot what happened and both are anxious of what's their atmosphere will be like when they see each other again.

Monday

Matthew woke up earlier than usual. He went out of his condo building early and found himself driving towards William's residence. After few minutes, he parked his car outside William's house, took out his phone and dialed his boss' number.

A few rings, and William answered his call.

"William Jeon, speaking." William on the line spoke.

"I'm outside your house, Sir." Matthew said.

William who accepted the call, not looking at the caller ID, gaped and took the phone from the side table- since his wearing wireless earphones, to confirm the caller. He knew what's Matthew's voice on the phone but he had to make sure and when it's really him, he put back the phone on the table.

"Pardon?" William asked, because maybe he heard the other man wrong.

"I'm outside your house, Sir." Matthew said again.

William then turned the treadmill off and look out the window to see if his secretary were really outside and when he saw Matthew's car parked outside his gate, he can't help but to curse.

"Oh, shit." He cursed, forgetting that the other man was still on the line then he heard Matthew chuckled before teasing him.

"So not you, Liam." Matthew teased. William snort at Matthew. Then frowned after, how does he know that I'm not really fond of cussing? We just met, and it's been only 5 days! He thought.

"What are you doing there?" William asked but he have already an idea.

"Picking you up, I'm guessing you have other cars but I think it's safer if you'll ride with me, I saw them at the entrance today." Matthew spoke, tone with concern.

"It's still too early for work, come inside first." William said and hanged up, then he went to look for the remote to open his gate.

When William ended the call, Matthew heard an unlocked sound coming from the gate, so he let himself in and parked his car. After parking, he exited his car and looked around. It's not that long way to the house entrance from where he parked so after a while he's already in front of the main door and was about to knock, when the door opened and he came face to face with his boss.

Instead of feeling awkward towards each other because of what happened at Matthew's place, Matthew grinned at William who's wearing muscle shirt and sweatpants and there's a towel hanging around his neck, sweating and obviously came from working out. William snort again at his secretary because of the teasing grin on the man's face before opening the door wide for the man to enter.

"I'll going to take a shower, feel yourself at home."

Before William completely ascended to the stairs, he heard Matthew shouting from the living room, asking him.

"Liam, have you eaten breakfast yet?" Matthew asked.

He halted and answered 'not yet' to his secretary shouting as well.

"Me too, I'll use your kitchen, is that okay?" Matthew asked, suddenly standing in front of the staircase so he doesn't need to shout.

William just nodded his head and continue walking towards his bedroom, then turned his face away immediately because a thought crossed his mind that made his cheeks felt hot.

'He's at my house and he's cooking me breakfast'.

As he said, Matthew went to the kitchen to look for ingredients that he can cook for their breakfast, but he saw nothing but packs of instant ramyeon (Korean spicy noodles) on the cupboard, and just eggs and sausages on the fridge. Mostly beverages were on the William's fridge and eggs and sausages are the only solid food that can be seen there. 'So unhealthy'. He thought and shakes his head.

He got no choice, so he prepared two packs of instant ramen, and some eggs and sausages. When he's already setting the table, William just entered the dining. He's now wearing his corporate attire and his hair were fixed, brushed and waxed backwards, revealing his perfect forehead that add points to his already other gorgeous features.

Matthew can't help but to be awed by William's look for today, since it's his first time seeing his boss fixing his hair like that because William usually let his bangs down. Then William put his hand on the back of his neck, embarrassed of the food he has in his house while eyeing at the table.

"Sorry, that's all I have, I c-ant cook, that's why, and I usually ordered take-outs." William explained. Then Matthew chuckled.

"I already figured that out. Let's eat before we get late." Matthew said and the two sat and started eating, quietly.

While Matthew gazes at his boss lingered from time to time and William seems to be oblivious to his stares.

At work.

When the elevator stopped at their floor, the two of them went directly to their workspaces after unconsciously and subtly waving at each other.

They both prepare themselves while Matthew prepared the documents needed for the meeting transaction later that morning. Before an hour of the meeting, Matthew stood up and went to his boss office.

Then, Matthew started briefing William about their client's profile and how they're going to secure their client to not pull out its investment in the corporation. William attentively listened to Matthew while the latter is explaining to him the details and sometimes, he asked questions. The briefing ended after half an hour so the two of them headed to the elevator down to the parking lot.

William actually had a degree in business so he knew what to do to save the corporation and to not shame himself in front of their clients. He's actually confident in taking this challenge that his dad forcefully made him do but his confidence doubled when they entered Matthew's car and his secretary cheered him up.

"You can do this, Liam." Matthew said, and William smiled at his secretary, earnestly.
