I watched Chan as he shook hands with the CEO who had stepped in at the right time before the employees almost yeeted each other off whilst buttering up their new director. His eyes momentarily met mine. He wasn't shocked a single bit as I was. He looked different, quite different from what he looked from few days ago. He was dressed in lavish black suit, his hair neatly style with gel, exposing his forehead. Those captivating charcoal eyes of his were no longer sad or hurt. They were cold abyss of sternness instead.
"Welcome to AES, Mr. Christopher Bang." The CEO said as Chan averted his gze from me.
"Is something wrong?" Seungmin questioned, placing hand on my shoulder as I flinched.
"Nope. Why do you ask?" I raised a brow.
"You're all tensed up so..." He replied as I shook my head.
"I'm fine." I said.
"What the f-" Jeongin mumbled in low voice as he saw Chan.
"Noona-" Jeongin was speaking when one of the older employee shushed him.
"Fellow colleagues, this is Mr. Christopher Bang from our company's Australian branch. He'll be the replacing Mr. Park as director of creative team." The CEO said.
"Would you like to say anything?" CEO questioned, giving Chan a nudge.
"Let's work hard." He said with a straight face. There was a moment of silence as all employees stared at each other before hesitantly clapping their hands.
"Alright Mr. Bang. I'm leaving the creative team under your care now." The CEO said as Chan shook hands with him.
"Hope you make him feel comfortable." The CEO said as all of us employees bowed.
The CEO walked away as Mr. Eun, the oldest employee if the company walked towards Chan. They exchanged bows and some words.
"Noona! Aera noona!" Jeongin whispered, pulling my sleeve. I whipped my head towards him.
"Let's run from this place." He said, pulling my arm.
"In-ah! Jeongin!" I hissed as he yanked me somewhere.
"Jeongin!" I heard Seungmin say, following us.
I glanced around to see none of the employees bothered a single bit as of Jeongin dragging me. They were far too preoccupied and crowding around Chan. Our eyes met for a second before Jeongin harshly pulled me inside the fire exit, shutting the door. He left my hand as I rubbed my wrist.
"Are you ok? Your hand...." Seungmin said.
"I'm fine." I replied, rubbing my sore wrist as Seungmin turned his head towards Jeongin.
