The ride to the company was quiet but comfortable. Haeun sat in the passenger seat, one hand resting lightly over his stomach while the other fiddled with the strap of his bag. The city moved past them in blurs of neon and headlights, the world still busy despite the late morning hour.
Yeongsoo glanced at him from time to time, as if making sure he wasn't uncomfortable. When they finally pulled up in front of the tall glass building, he put the car in park but didn't unlock the doors right away.
"You'll call me if anything happens, right?" Yeongsoo's voice was calm, but there was an edge of insistence to it. His eyes softened when Haeun looked up at him. "If you feel unwell, if something comes up, if someone so much as looks at you wrong, I'll come running."
Haeun blinked, then gave a small smile. "You're acting like I'm about to go into a battlefield."
