Just as the atmosphere between the brothers softened into that rare, cherished quiet, there was a polite knock on the office door. Eunja slipped in, holding a tablet pressed to her chest and a faint, apologetic smile on her lips.
"Boss." she said smoothly, bowing slightly before lifting the tablet. "There are a few urgent matters that need your attention. I'm sorry to interrupt."
Haeun blinked, watching the way Taeun straightened immediately, professionalism sliding back into place.
The easy camaraderie they had been sharing shifted, but Haeun didn't miss the small, natural way Eunja lingered just a fraction closer than necessary, or how Taeun's eyes softened in her direction.
The corners of Haeun's lips lifted knowingly. He rose slowly from his seat, brushing invisible wrinkles from his loose sweater. "I'll leave you to it.." he said lightly. "Suddenly, I feel like seeing my Alpha."
