At a bar, Subao and his friends Feng Ji and Cha Dong are having a drink. Subao noticed that his shot is always full and his friends aren't.

Subao: You fools! Do you think you can cheat the code and lie to me! You losers! *Screaming at his friends ears*

Feng Ji: Aghhh! We're sorry! *Hugging Cha Dong*

Subao: You fill my cup full but little on yours!

Cha Dong: That's because we don't wanna drink anymore and you kept insisting!

Subao: Fine! Leave! I can drink alone! *Grabs the soju*

Feng Ji: Let's go Cha dong! Before he gone wild!

Subao: Don't show yourself to me cheaters! Ugh... *Placed his head on the counter*

"You've been absent for so long Jeuk.."

Jeuk: *Saw Subao playing his shot glass*

Subao POV: Why are they like this to me... *Turns around*

Jeuk: *Stun* ...?

Subao: Can I have the check please?

Bartender: Sure, right away..

Subao: *Drinks the remaining soju on his shot glass*

Bartender: *Placed the bill at the counter*

Subao: *Placed the money on top of the bill* Please keep the change, goodbye...

Bartender: Thank you sir, have a goodnight!

Subao: *Raise his hand meaning yes and walked past Jeuk* What time is it?

Jeuk: *Still not reacting*

Subao: *Opens the door* 9? I should grab food before heading home.

Subao: How could you say that? Don't you know about infection?

Seung: Ahh...

Subao: I'm on my way to the convenient store, you should come along with me and get it cleaned.

Seung: Alright...

At the convenient store, Subao buy's a bottle of alcohol and pack of bandages and also some foods to eat.

Subao: This will hurt... *Pours alcohol*

Seung: Agh!

Subao: Just inhale exhale.

Seung: Dang! Ack!

Subao: It's done. *Puts band aid*

Subao: Let's wait then...

Seung: What's your name?

The next day.

Subao: I still have 3 days off work...

Flashback...

Subao: Sir I've submitted all the wor- *Collapse*

"Subao?!.."

After few hours, at the hospital.

"Finally you're up! Your co-workers said that you over worked yourself! Don't you know that it will be my fault if you died in the office?!"

Subao: I'm just doing my job sir...

"You've become workaholic Subao! You need 1 week off work! I will give you that. Don't worry you will receive payment. Your my best employee yet, I don't want to see you like this..."

Subao: Thankyou sir! I appreciate it so much!

End of flashback...

Subao: Maybe I should have breakfast. *Grabs his backpack and went out*

He went up to the elevator and wait for it to arrive on his floor. When the elevator door opened he saw Jeuk inside but didn't recognize him.

Subao: Coffee and bread...

Jeuk: *Staring at Subao*

Subao: If you have something to say please say it... I can clearly see your reflection...

Jeuk: /Clears throat/ Ah... I just want to say that you have a kitten in the bag.

Subao: Hah?! *Grabs his backpack* Jeju?! You cheeky!... Hayss, I guess your coming with me... Thank you for telling me right away, he must've been lost in the crowd later on.

Jeuk: Welcome...

/Elevator door opens/

Seung: Boss...

Jeuk: *Points at Subao*

Seung: I mean Jeuk, Subao!...

Subao: Oh its you...

Seung: Good morning!

Subao: *Ignores*

Seung: Wow, no wonder why it's cold here...

/Elevator door opens/

Subao: Goodbye, let's not meet again.

Seung: But we live in the same building...

Subao: Doesn't matter. *Walks away*

Jeuk: Dare to bully him... *Raise his fist*

Seung: I'm just hanging with his mood... I'm still looking out for his information, I think I could submit it tonight.

Side character...

SEUNG YI | 25 | JEUK'S ASSISTANT | GAY

At a cafe...

Subao: That's all thank you...

"We will call you when your coffee is done sir, please wait..."

Subao: *Sat down* It's gonna be winter soon... I saved money to buy winter clothes for you Jeju since it was quite expensive... We should go spoil you for today.

"Mr. Lee!"

Subao: Ah! Over here!...

At the evening, Subao came back home after buying breakfast and was ready to go out to spoil Jeju.

Subao: Jeju do you wanna come with me?

/Cat meowing/

Subao: Hehe your so cute Jeju...

At the pet shop.

Subao: Hmm I think black is better for you Jeju.

Subao bought cat scarf, cat foods and cat stand for Jeju and before heading home he stopped at a mini store and bought food for a week. He eventually heads back to the condominium and start stocking the foods he bought, after that Subao built the cat stand and was sure Jeju loves it.

The next day...

Subao: Good morning Jeju... I will cook up some pastries today, let's see what I could cook.

Subao noticed that his sweet cat didn't greets him while it does every morning. He walked near the cat and saw it unable to move made him panic, he looked at the cat food that he bought and saw that it was 1 year expired. Subao grabs his bag and cage, then he gently placed Jeju inside. He also grabs the plastic of expired cat food and placed it to his bag. At the elevator he bump again into Jeuk and subao was already crying in a panic.

Jeuk: What happened to you?!

Subao: Jeju... He...

Jeuk: That's the cat? Is he sick?

Subao: I don't know what to do...

Jeuk: Let me drive you at the vet.

Subao: I don't know....

Jeuk: I insist.

While on the car, all they could hear was subao sobbing because of Jeju's low breathing, so Jeuk tried comforting Subao to make him calm.

Jeuk: Please stop crying...

Subao: I don't want to loose another family I've already lost 3... /Sobbing/

Jeuk: If he can't be brave then can you be brave for him?

Subao: I'm trying... But... Jeju was a gift for me... I don't want to loose him... I want to kept him with me longer.

Jeuk: ... I get you. I also have a dog and his name is Lili, when Lili escaped in our previous house in the middle of the woods, I admit I also cried... But guess what? Lili came back carrying a puppy that was severely injured...

Subao: Did you kept the puppy?

Jeuk: I did, but the dog eventually died on Lili's little house.

Subao: It must've been hard for Lili.

Jeuk: It was, but it's even harder for me since I've grown love towards the pup. It made me realize that pets will eventually died but they know their loved, that's the atleast we could do to make them realize that whenever they retured as a different animal we will still love them.

Subao: I don't want to see Jeju die yet...

Jeuk: Ofcourse you don't, if his your family build a trust that will make you realize that you can trust him. He knows your hurt when you cry. Keep trusting him and stop crying because it makes him sad. I don't know how cat comforts their master, but my dog pats my knees whenever I'm down.

Subao: Jeju wipes my tears whenever I cry...

Jeuk: While his unable to do that, please be strong. But, what even happen to him.

Subao: I think it's food poison. *Gaves the plastic of cat food to Jeuk* It was expired for a year, I'm a fool for not realizing it.

Jeuk: Cheer up, you're not the one who's responsible.

At the vet.

Jeuk: Go inside, I will take care of the store.

Subao: Thank you, take care. I owe you now.

Jeuk: Haha... Please get inside, Jeju is still sick.

Subao: Yes!

Jeuk POV: He still have his amnesia.

With Subao.

Subao: Please do something! My pet is poisoned.

Qui Yen: Over here!

Subao: Please help my cat.

Qui Yen: Please explain what happened.

Subao: I bought cat food for him yesterday and didn't realize the expiration date on it, when I woke up this morning he never responded and wasn't moving. My neighbor helped me rush him here.

Qui Yen: You can wait outside, we will do some x-ray and ultrasound on your cat.

Subao: Thank you. Please help us...

Qui Yen: I will do everything to save him don't worry, as for you. You should wash your face and fix your hair.

Subao: Ah... Yes...

With Jeuk.

Jeuk: I'm closing this store.

"And who are you to do that?!"

Jeuk: I'm Jeuk Joo, chairman of HJ corporation.

"Ah... You can't do this to my store!"

Jeuk: Selling expired products, re selling cheap products from china. And not maintaining the great environment, lights are broken, place sting, and every animal is barely alive.

"What? Was that true? *Checks the products* Omg it is."

"This store is basically killing our pets..."

"I can't believe I buy stuff for my pet here..."

"We should leave."

Jeuk: Police are on the way, get a lawyer but you will never win against me.

"You! *Raise his fist*"

Jeuk: What? You will harass me too? Killing animals is not enough? Because of you my friends pet is suffering in the vet today. *Slaps the owner with the plastic of cat food* If the cat died, don't even think that you will be happy inside the cell.

/Police siren/

Jeuk: Take the man, and shut this store right ahead...

Kajoon: Hah... Stop getting yourself in the media Mr. Joo.

Jeuk: Hayss... I will not make that man alive if the cat died.

Kajoon: What's special about the cat?

Jeuk: I was the one who gifted it.

Kajoon: I never thought that you and Subao is still close after the graduation in highschool.

Jeuk: I just found the cat looked like me. Handsome.

Kajoon: It's too early to fool around.

Jeuk: Do your best chief.

Kajoon: Yeah right. You should leave before media arrived.

Jeuk: Sure will.

After an hour of waiting the doctor finally came out the room where she examined Jeju.

Qui Yen: The cat is finally stable.

Subao: Really?! Thank you doc!

Qui Yen: Yeah yeah... As for the bill, it's already paid.

Jeuk: One call and its done.

Qui Yen: You're still a jerk, can't believe that.

Subao: You guys know each other?

Jeuk: He's Lili's rival.

Qui Yen: I'm Lili's personal doctor, the dog is spoiled.

Subao: Did you paid the bill?

Jeuk: Take it as a gift... Also Qui Yen is actually the best vet doctor so don't worry to much about Jeju now...

Subao: Thank you so much for your help... I'm kind of mean towards you and ahh...

Jeuk: Seung.

Subao: Yeah...

Qui Yen: I will head first, you guys should have lunch now.

Jeuk: Yeah yeah...

Subao: I didn't properly introduce myself, my name is Subao Lee-

Jeuk: I already know you... We've met a long time ago, but I guess it's all in the past...

Subao: We did?.

Jeuk: Yep... By the way I'm Jeuk Joo.

Subao: You're name sounds like Jeju if you say it in english. /Chuckles/

Jeuk POV: That's because you named him before forgetting about me.

Subao: I should treat you to lunch right.

Jeuk: No need, you can save it incase i need your help one day.

Subao: But you've done so much favor for me today. You take us here, deals with the shop and even paid the bill.

Jeuk: Then I guess I have 3 favor to ask you in the future then?

Subao: It's fine for me...

Jeuk: *Looks at Subao* I have my first favor.

Subao: *Turns to Jeuk* What is it?.

Jeuk: *Touched Subao's hair and whispers to his ears* Don't forget about me again... *

Subao: How could I?

Jeuk: Your eyes are sore now... Tsk tsk...

Subao: I guess I just can't let him go yet...

Jeuk: Ofcourse he won't.

Subao: Thank you again for your help today. *Held Jeuk's hand* Please don't hesitate if you need anything.

Jeuk: *Blush* Yeah... Okay...

Subao: So? Where should we eat? I want to come back as soon as possible to see Jeju.

Jeuk: Alright...

At the restaurant Jeuk chose.

Jeuk: Order whatever you'd like.

Subao: But...

Subao: Isn't this a bit too much... We're in a freaking 5 star restaurant Jeuk...

Jeuk: *Blushed because Subao called him by his name* Ahem... Don't worry about the restaurant, you should worry about yourself. I saw you eating at a convenient store, besides you need more energy for Jeju and eating in such places like this help since the ingredients is very very fresh.

Subao: But I was craving pizza or corn dog. Not some kind of raw steak.

Jeuk: *Got affected* They have pizza...

Subao: No corn dog?

Jeuk: Why find corn dog? There is plenty to choose from...

Subao: Can't we just eat in McDonald's or my favorite fast food chain?

Jeuk: Do you really crave them? *Disappointed for not letting Subao choose instead*

Subao: *Sees Jeuk's reaction* I'm just joking...

Jeuk: Huh?...

Subao: We can eat here. But I'm kind of a picky eater.

Jeuk: Just choose whatever you'd like.

After ordering.

Jeuk: Eat well pup...

Subao: Sure will.

Jeuk: I will take you home this evening so that you wouldn't have to take a bus.

Subao: Thank you, I want to stop by a pet shop again since I really have to buy Jeju foods and treats. I should also buy him some toys, he must be traumatized.

Jeuk: You should let him meet Lili after he recovered.

Subao: What does Lili looked like?

Jeuk: He looked like you.

Subao: Huh?

Jeuk: Black hair blue eyes...

(For reference this is what Jeju and Lili looks like)

Jeuk: You could visit my house in the condominium.

Subao: Yeah sure, what's the room number?

Jeuk: Oh... It's actually on the top of the building.

Subao: Wasn't the top floor the luxurious room there?

Jeuk: Well the rent is ridiculously high...

Subao: Ah... Who really are you?

Jeuk: What do you mean?

Subao: What's your job?

Jeuk: Ahm...

Subao: Hmm...

Jeuk: ...

Subao: Tell me or I will find it myself?

Jeuk: I handle a corporation...

Subao: Corporation...!

Jeuk: Yeah...

Subao: What's the name?!

Jeuk: HJ...

Subao: Highly Jade?!

Jeuk: Yeah...

Subao: It's our companies share!

Jeuk: Really?

Subao: Yuh... Cais...

Jeuk: What's your job?

Subao: I'm the assistant head CEO...

Jeuk: Is that so... *Texted Seung*

//Jeuk: Find the information about the cais company along with the CEO.//

Jeuk: *Received a reply*

//Seung: I already has it, waiting for you here at the condo.//

//Jeuk: I'd be back at 3.//

//Seung: Yeah, yeah.//

Subao: It's quite a shame for me having to eat while a certain someone using his phone.

Jeuk: Ah. Pardon, it was important.

Subao: It's okay, I was just joking. Me and the CEO get along so well. I collapse while at work that's why I got a week off work.

Jeuk: Have you been working so much?

Subao: Well. I always took a few hours work too.

Jeuk: You're workaholic Subao.

Subao: That's a compliment or a concern?

Jeuk: It's a concern Subao. You shouldn't work so hard if your body can't do it anymore.

Subao: I'm just doing it to survive. I have to pay all of my expenses alone and I have a cat to provide. Yes I have saved a lot of money but, it's not enough to make me and Jeju lived in a house that I bought myself. All I know is that Jeju is my family and I should provide him the things he need and not to make him live in a condominium where he can't walk around like a boss. *Chuckles*

Jeuk: You love Jeju so much aren't you.

Subao: He's the only family I've got. Buying a car or motor is useless if you can't provide your pet his own house.

Jeuk: I think you and Jeju is a father and son now.

Subao: Well I guess we are.
