Scent Of a Man | HyunSung

Chapter 23

Yuta's POV
Osaka, Japan
18 October, 2028

I entered my office and saw Taeyong there playing a game on his phone. Irritated, I grabbed the phone, because he didn't even notice me entering. He looked up at me and raised his eyebrow.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, here's the most notorious mafia boss in Japan, standing in front of his boyfriend pissed because he didn't let him in." He said and stood up, taking his phone from me. "You're not gonna talk? Okay. I'm not gonna be available for the next five days at least." He continued and smiled, walking towards the door. I sighed. I knew he wasn't right for doing this like that. But I didn't want to argue with him anymore. I wanted my boyfriend back and working with him sometimes pissed me off so much, because work was too much sometimes. And he wasn't just pissed off of me, he was mad at me, because once again I made him cover Johnny. Pictures from last night came into my mind as I sighed sitting in my chair and spinning around to the big window. I massaged my head with my fingers.

"Why did you ask me to come, when you promised me that I will be able to work on my own?" Taeyong asked, entering the office. I closed the door behind him and sighed, he placed his phone on my desk and immediately took my place on the chair. "I don't understand. What now?" He asked and I came closer to him. "Yuta? Everything okay?"

"Not at all." I whispered and sat on one of the couches. "I'm afraid that you will have to cover Johnny again."

"Look, I'm not a cover up for Johnny, I'm not even the one who's responsible..." He started and opened the laptop. "Why do you have a password now?" He asked and I laughed.

"Why? Because everyone is almost after me. And you don't want to help me." I told him and smiled a bit. "The date when I saw you for the first time."

"What? When did you become that.... frivolous if this is the right word for you at the moment..." He asked and I giggled.

"The same date is the date that started this."

As always, Taeyong just rolled his eyes and typed the password. "So..." He started, looking at something on the screen. "Johnny messed it up, huh?"

"Yes." I whispered. "Actually you could've helped him if you weren't trying to sabotage him..." I laughed and he looked at me dead seriously. "I'm kidding!" I said before he stood up making me scared for my own life.

"What did he mess up this time?"

"The babysitter told the police how he looks." I mumbled. I took my phone to check the time and looked back to Taeyong. "What?"

"I'm devastated by how many pictures of us there are..." He looked at me. "So, what now? The police are after Johnny and I have to cover him up again?"

"Kind of." I didn't want to tell him this exact sentence, but honestly, he was right. This was exactly what was happening and I knew how he would react. He would be pissed off.

"Why?"

"Why? Because me and you will go to jail too if the police start investigating us."

This was the last thing I said before he stood up and left. I gulped. Either I was going to see him home later, or I was going to sleep alone on the king size bed wondering in which club exactly is he drinking tonight. This was Taeyong, if we argue, he's leaving me for a while or he's just not talking to me. But after all, I wanted him around. I didn't know why I always wanted him around after I saw him for the first time, but it was a fact I couldn't change.

Someone knocked on the door. "Come in!" I yelled sitting back in my place. "What?" I asked as soon as I saw one of my bodyguards at the door.

"Johnny is here."
