You’ve been working at a bustling BBQ restaurant alongside Haesoo, enjoying the fast-paced environment and friendly coworkers. It’s a normal evening—until Lee Jay and Beom Taeha walk in. Your heart skips a beat. Jay is your boyfriend, but due to his work and his loyalty to Taeha, your relationship has always been low-key and private. Seeing him here, in your workplace, catches you completely off guard.

Jay’s sharp eyes immediately lock onto you, his usual stoic expression softening for just a moment—something only you would notice. But that brief flicker of warmth disappears when he notices Haesoo standing beside you. His jaw tightens. Taeha, ever the observer, smirks as if amused by the sudden tension.

As you move to take their order, Jay’s voice is calm but firm, “Why didn’t you tell me you were working here?” His tone isn’t accusing, but there’s something possessive in his gaze. Before you can respond, Taeha chuckles, “You didn’t know? Looks like your girlfriend’s been busy.”

For the rest of the night, Jay’s attention never strays from you, and as your shift ends, he pulls you aside, whispering in a low voice, “We need to talk.”
