Kibum truly feels alone for the first time in his life because he lies drunk in the middle of his apartment, wine glass in hand, staring emptily at the ceiling, wishing that he knows what is going on.

True, it has been three months since Donghae was involved in that terrible car accident and he should, as Eunhyuk constantly reminded him to “get over it”. But he never allowed himself to, because he would simply be betraying Donghae and he could never ever do that.

Soon, Kibum finds that he has a new colleague at work whom he does not think is remotely attractive despite Eunhyuk’s constant side nudges and apparent fascination for the man. And to his horror (and Eunhyuk’s), Kibum is stuck with him for the next project. Though Eunhyuk sighs as though he has just lost out but Kibum thinks that it is impossible that he will ever like this other man.

Well, apparently not.

When he is first introduced to Lee Sungmin, Kim Kibum thinks little of him, nothing more that ‘just another colleague’. He finds him slightly odd and effeminate, as he has a single diamond stud on his left lobe that catches Kibum’s eye under the office light-he never understood what was with guys and earrings.

Through their long hours spent on deliberation of ideas, Sungmin starts telling Kibum snippets about his life and his worries that Kibum does not give a damn about. But unknowingly Kibum starts to worry as Sungmin does, and starts to worry for Sungmin. And soon, Kim Kibum finds a new confidante in Lee Sungmin-the man he least expected would care.

And when they have to pull an all-nighter for the final day before the presentation of the project, Sungmin decides to trace a finger along Kibum’s collarbone through his loosened shirt, and before he knows it, Sungmin has pinned him to the chair, crushing their lips together in a passionate kiss, and damn if it wasn’t the most alive Kibum felt in a long time.

It is only when Kibum finds himself under the shower in the office changing room with hot streams of water running down his sculpted torso and washing off his own come from his inner thighs that it hits him. What the fuck did I just do.

It is when he sees another man leave the adjacent shower cubicle with a grin on his face that he realizes what happened. But he tells himself that his mind, clouded by adrenaline and stress of the presentation has caused him to engage in a completely unfeeling, irrational activity, the result of weeks of abstinence and lack of pleasure-a mere hormonal reaction to a stimulation.

When the presentation is on, Kibum makes sure to never establish more than a one second eye contact with Lee Sungmin, and has strategically positioned himself across the table from Sungmin to avoid contact with him. When the meeting is over and their Sajangnim congratulates them for an ‘outstanding performance and brilliant idea’, Sungmin turns to Kibum for a celebratory handshake, just in time to see the man walk off hurriedly without a second glance back.

As though that is not enough, Sungmin runs after Kibum and grabs his arm to get him to stop.

“Hey,” Sungmin laughs quietly through his words, “about just now-”

“Nothing happened,” interjects Kibum, pulling his arm our of Sungmin’s grasp, leaving the older man standing alone behind him, mouth agape and utterly clueless to what Kibum was thinking.

So Kibum knows that one single way to drown his sorrows, is in a vat of alcohol-what he did when Donghae was gone in order to forget; and he starts again, drinking away the memory and thoughts as lucidity only made him feel even more guilty.

He ignores the repeated buzzing of his phone (18 new messages and 11 missed calls by that night) and cries himself to sleep on white cotton sheets stained with red wine.

Kibum wakes up with an incredible hangover the next day, determined to quit his job and calls in to the company to submit his resignation.

“Eh, Sica, can you tell Kangin Sajangnim that I won’t be coming back to work anymore.”
                 “I’m putting you through. You can tell him yourself.”

Kibum always had this thing for Jessica, even when he was dating Donghae, until after a few flings, he made up his mind that Donghae was the only one for him-and he and Jessica just became good colleagues.

“Eh what-” he tries to stop her but it’s too late because the dial tone is on and all he can do is fear Kangin screwing his ass for quitting so suddenly.
          “Yeah, it’s Kangin.”
“Uh, Sajangnim, this is Kibum-”
             “Oh yeah Kibum! Excellent presentation yesterday! I wanted to discuss the possibilities of expanding your project regionally to our sister companies rather than just within Korea, could you come to my office now? We have a lot to discuss-and bring that Sunghyun or Sungmo guy with you, whatever his name is.”
        “Ah about that Sajangnim, I want Sungmin to handle the project, I’m callingto tender my resignation.”
The reply was almost immediate.
                          “WHAT? BUT WHY? YOU DID GREAT YESTERDAY I WAS EVEN PLANNING ON PROMOTING YOU IF THIS DEAL WENT THROUGH AND THE CLIENTS WERE COMPLETELY IMPRESSED WITH THE IDEA.” As though Kangin’s voice was not sufficiently loud, that is enough to blow anyone’s eardrums let alone add on to the huge headache that Kibum already has.
                   “Sajangnim, please. Honestly, you’ve been nagging me for the past three months to get over Donghae and get my mind out of the gutter and back at work and this is the first time I am hearing you say that I’ve done a great job? Anyway, Sungmin will be terrific with the project. He’s new but extremely talented and capable-he can take over my post. I’ll be sending in my resignation and I won’t take no for an answer.”
         “Kibum-yah…”
“I’ll buy you drinks one night.”
                  “That’s more like it. See you around then.”

He walks over to his kitchen and rustles cereal out of the packet, pouring cool milk over the top. When he bends over the table to get a spoon from the counter, he feels something small jabbing him through his pants pocket and reaches his hand in to pull out the pesky thing.

A single diamond stud.

And he remembers.
And he remembers that just maybe he does like Sungmin just a little bit.

He looks at his phone, now dead because of the incessant messaging-obsessive? But he did not mind that, in fact he quite liked it when Donghae was possessive of him, which was probably the reason for his countless affairs. And Donghae just let him go and fool around, because he knew that Kibum would come back every time.

But he makes up his mind that he will not screw it up again.

He finds himself at the doorstep of Sungmin’s apartment. He finds himself buzzing on the door for entry. He finds Sungmin running out first to meet him at the stairs, eyes wide with fear and worry.

“I’m so sorry Kibum.”
               “What are you apologizing for? I should be the one saying sorry.”

Kibum pulls out the diamond stud and places it in Sungmin’s hand. “Here, I wanted to return this.”
“Why’d you quit? Was it because of what we did? Was it because of me?”

And Kibum just laughs in amusement.
                             “Well I can’t possibly be in a relationship with a co-worker can I?”

A/N: Sorry for the lack of smut! I promise more when I write KiHae
and Jaeho and such. And I had to add a Kiha in here-I apologize>< It’s my vice^^
