"Ling Mr.Kim is not here today?" Ran asked

"Ah yes he is out with his family today then tomorrow he will be out for their wedding anniversary," Lan Ling said like it doesn't affects him at all.

" Okay, then how about after work today we go hang out and grab some of our favorite food hm?" Ran said, seeing Lan Ling's expression cheering him up.

"Okay, let us do that then" Lan Ling fake smiling. Then they go back to their posts and work.

(After work)

"Where should we go?" Lan Ling asks

curiously, trying to drift his mind to somewhere else and enjoy his day with his friend Ran.

"Well...how about we go for a KTV?" Ran suggested, "okay but first let us buy some food and no alcohol drink okay? Your boyfriend Tau will get mad at me" Lan Ling said and Ran had a bored expression upon hearing his boyfriend's name.

"Meh! Okay... let us go" Ran walk fast excitedly with Lan Ling.

Ran and ling has been friends for almost a month now and he knows that Ran is gay and that Ran has a boyfriend whose currently working on a COMIC company as a translator and editor name "Tau".

Lan Ling forgot all his worries while enjoying their hang out with his friend Ran who's currently singing a song when suddenly his phone rang, and the screen showed, "Mr.Kim?" Lan ling mumbles then signals Ran that he will be out to the room for a bit to answer the call and Ran nods.

"Hello, Mr.Kim?" Lan Ling asks through the phone whispery.

"Hello! YOU BITCH! YOU BETTER HIDE CAUSE WHEN I SEE YOU I WILL KILL YOU!" Mrs. Kim's threat and Lan Ling got surprised and scared he accidentally dropped his phone to the floor and froze to his place.

"Hey! You! Hey! I AM STILL TALKING TO YOU SLUT! Hey!" Mr.Kim's wife continued talking

"hey why are you shouting and why is my phone in your hand? Give it to me" Lan ling hears Mr.Kim's voice

"You!, I called your slut!" Mr.Kim's wife said, "What?" Mr.Kim asked, "Oh acting innocent now are we ha?'' Why do you put the title named "my dearest" here? Ha?! Answer me?!" Mr. Kim's wife screams, asking and so angry. "Honey is not like that...please calm down and listen to me please..." Mr.Kim trying to get a great excuse.

"(Sobs)...you lie to me you marry me! We swear upon the gods! That you will only love me and me alone! you idiot! Don't let me see your face again!" Mr.Kim's wife said give his phone back to him and go out to the restaurant they just have a date on while people are staring and whispering about them.

Then Mr.Kim looked at the screen Of his phone and saw Lan Ling hadn't hung up yet and he got more worried because that means Lan Ling heard everything.

"Hello? Lan ling are you there? Please answer me, Lan Ling? Lan ling!" Mr.Kim shouted through the phone worried and Lan Ling brought him back to reality.

He picks up his phone and brings it to his right ear with trembling hands and fear. "M-Mr.Kim" Lan Ling responds stuttering.

"Let's meet up right now," Mr.Kim said but Lan Ling didn't feel the same.

"Mr.Kim I am sorry but I think we need to stop this right now...you already have a wife and son and I am just a nobody that accidentally come to your life, and that is why tomorrow I will bring my resignation paper to your office so this is the last time you will call me and hear me Mr.Kim goodbye," Lan Ling said realizing something hung up without hearing Mr.Kim speak his thought,

Then Ran arrived upon searching for his friend Lan Ling and he saw Ling crying to the corner of the bathroom in a mess.

Ran, run over to him and comfort him, "ran...(hic) (sobs)...I let him go...(sobs)..." Lan Ling said crying in a mess while Ran hugged him and caressed his back to calm him.

"Ssh...is okay...just cry it all out ling, okay? Just cry it all out and we talk later..." Ran comforts him feeling pity and sorry for his friend Lan Ling.

—Mean while—

"No!, Wait, Lan Ling hey! Hello? Lan ling! Lan ling?! HELLO?! Shit!" Mr.Kim cursed so mad and angry he left some money on the table for the food they eat just now with her wife and went out to the restaurant hurriedly and got into his car opening his tracking app to his phone and track where Lan Ling is then he drove with so much emotion.

"You can't just say that to me, I need you, I NEED YOU LAN LING! SHIT, THIS CAR WON'T RUN MORE FAST! MOVE FASTER?!" Mr.Kim curses his car upon driving so slow he connects his tracking app to his car and the car pointed the area and the way.

"YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME! You can't you can't (sobs)" Mr.Kim said feeling so mad and so anxious just thinking of Lan Ling leaving him made him so mad and so angry and possessive and can't think straight.

—To the bathroom corner—

"It hurt so much..." Lan Ling said. Ran just continues hugging and caresses Lan Ling back. "Lan Ling!" Ran and Ling look at who's shouting Lan Ling name just now and so a very exhausted and angry Mr.Kim with a death glare pointing at Ran.

Lan ling push Ran away in fear of Mr.Kim hurting his friend.

"Ling? Why is Mr.Kim here? Ran asked in surprise and worry because Lan Ling is trembling in fear beside him while crying.

"Ran, go now I'll tell you tomorrow okay?" Lan Ling said to him but ran hesitantly and held ling left wrist,

"No, I won't" Ran said protecting his friend.

"Let him go now," Mr.Kim said with an angry growl voice threatening Ran.

"Mr.Kim I don't know what's going on, but I am Ling's friend so I must protect him" Ran said,

"Ran?(sobs)" ling mumbled crying.

"Lan Ling, make him go away nowor I'll kill him" Mr.Kim threatened Lan Ling and Lan Ling got goosebumps and worried about Ran so he shoved a hand that held on to him and he pushed Ran away.

"Ling?" Ran calls wearing a very concern and worry expression for him.

"Come here now Lan Ling" Mr.Kim's call with the same tone of voice Ling slowly walks to where he is with a trembling body as he cries silently.

"Ling!" Ran called "Just go! Ran...please...(sobs) just go...for me please just g-" Mr.Kim didn't let Lan Ling finish his words as he grabbed him and he shoves him inside his car with him and they drive off fast,

Ran run after them but they're already gone.

"Shit! What is going on?!" Ran shouted in irritation and full of worry for his friend Lan Ling.
