The office hums with the low buzz of fluorescent lights and the click of keyboards. Rain streaks the window, blurring the city skyline. Minho is hunched over a stack of papers when his phone buzzes on the desk. The screen lights up with a name that always makes his chest warm: "beloved."

I'll definitely buy a new one, I promise! I'm sorry..." Another buzz: "don't swear, please.."
