Running his fingertip across the smoothness of his bottom lip, the harder Beomgyu pinched the plump flesh, the deeper he delved into his doubts as his stare stay moored to a specific area beyond the glass partition.

The superior permitted the intern's entrance. Though expression indifferent, his gaze looked as if it could cut through the figure of his employee who walked in obediently.
"Losing one's ID not after a month working here, are we?" Choi Beomgyu gave him a taunting look, his tone devoid of typically sadistic amusement.
That sharp dipshit! Taehyun halfway failed to hold his nerves together at the realization of his loudness while talking down the line, panic rising within his chest tidally.
"I'm sorry for being careless!" Taehyun bent over 90° to revive his composure where his face was hidden temporarily. "Actually, I was just going to seek your approval for a renewal."

Thank all holy deities--
"But did you look for it everywhere?"
"Pardon?"
Taehyun raised his head, blinking to process the question.
"Ah, I certainly did. But I couldn't find it at all, sir."
Beomgyu hummed. "Are you sure? For example, maybe you could've left it at the pub..."
"If so, then I think it's better to just reissue-"
"Or, you could've dropped it in the office pantry when you came back, who knows."
