City Hall

@✪ Kim Heechul You take direction so well, that was a flawless one shot kill. *nods in from behind the phone full smiles, admiring the work, glancing up to you and moving individual pieces of your hair meticulously back in a way that flatters your face, eyes unfocusing and finding yours to better tune in to what you just said, with a raise of my brows and a grin to match yours* Oh so where are we taking these photos, are you gonna finally let me do your makeup?

@Lee Felix /having lots of fun but i dont show it too much
/moves back, adjusts my suit and puts on a serious expression
/nods and does as told, counting to three internally then looking into the camera with what i hope is a y, smouldering look
/pauses and then relaxes
/eyes you and brushes my hair back
Let's take some hot pictures, and then send those straight to my phone. /grins

@✪ Kim Heechul James burst into his father's study. The elder man, engrossed in paperwork, looked up, surprise flickering in his eyes. "Pa, can I bring the gifts to the city hall this time?" James's voice was pitched higher than usual, a stark contrast to the determined glint in his eyes. He moved closer, and almost childishly began to gently shake his fathers arm. A flicker of a smile tugged at the corners of his father’s lips, but he quickly suppressed it. "And why would would you want to do that?" James’s lower lip jutted out in a pout. "I will do it good... please? Please, please?" His voice was laced with a hint of cute sweetness. A sigh escaped his father, and this time, the smile was undeniable. It was a mixture of amusement and pride that his youngest son was finally showing interest in their family business and building connections, little did he know that James interest wasn't business oriented. He gave in, reaching out to ruffle James’s hair. “But don’t mess up.” James beamed, his eyes sparkling with triumph. He leaned in and kissed his father's cheek. Then he spun on his heel and rushed out of the room.

Alone in his room, James dressed with care, selecting an outfit that was both stylish and daring choosing an almost translucend lace button down beneath his suit jacket and high waisted pants that showed off his slim waist. Pursing his lips he ed the first few buttons showing more of his flawless chest.

With the red envelope filled with a cheque and a gift basket prepared by his mother James entered the lobby of the City hall waiting for someone to pick him up. Upon seeing the older man a bright smile showed on James plush lips, prior to entering the building he had touched up some lip tint and freshened up his perfume. Smiling brightly he walks over to the mayor. "Nice to meet you Mr. Kim~" James hummed softly.

@Choi Chanhee /quirks a brow at the milk bread stuffed into your mouth
/clears some documents aside for you to set down the cakes and my lips as I choose one for myself/
You mean, can you attempt to schedule 20 meetings while I go over all the work I need to do with great focus and detail?
Sure, sweetie. Of course. Your company will help wonders. /not that I have much choice; I could throw you out but hurting your feelings isnt worth the extra focus Id get from being alone/
Are you comfortable in that chair? I've been thinking about replacing the guest chairs. /picks up my cake of choice to start with and takes a big bite

@✪ Kim Heechul The cherry-haired fiend prances back into his boss’s loft with a piece of milk bread in his mouth, hands occupied with coffee and cakes. “‘Mmf hmm~” translation; I’m back. Today wasn’t too busy of a day for him, luckily. For Heechul, however… Well… “Can I work in your office today?” He asks after setting the plate of food down, already beginning to pull a chair up to the main desk. He wasn’t taking no for an answer, after all. He never did.

@James Su "How do I look?", Heechul asked his secretary as he straightened his suit. Carefully, he assessed his appearance in the full size mirror. A wrinkle in his collar caught his eye, which he straightened with a sharp tug. "You look good as always", chirped his latest secretary, a sweet soft doll a boy. Well, young man. How old was he again? He looked around the same age as the guest he had invited to tour the city hall. Heechul pressed the topic of age out of his mind and took in his appearance once last time. "Alright. Showtime, sweetie. You know what to do." Smiling smugly, he ran his fingers carefully through his hair, sprayed just a dash of cologne and headed out.

They had agreed to meet in the lobby instead of outside, to avoid questions Heechul wouldn't have answers for. As for what was on the agenda for this 'meeting' of his... admire a particularly beautiful male, show him whatever he might want to see, and... see how things go. Fitted suit, polished suit, styled hair and a nice watch on his wrist he waited in the lobby. The security team was watching the cameras and when they saw James approach, Heechul got a message to his phone. He stood up straighter and turned to the door with a welcoming smile. Other than them, the lobby was empty.

@✪ Kim Heechul *relief spreads across my face* Thank gods *snaps a bunch of pictures and moves around you like paparazzi* Ok go back and do it again, I need a closer shot *bounces over to you nodding when ready, eyes focuses on the frame of you camera *waves you in, walk into the shot and count to 3 then look at me. We need footage for your fans to make some y edits to. You're slacking *gets ready to record*

@Lee Felix /laughs cause you're so bossy
/clears my throat/ Right. Like on the carpet.
/rolls my shoulders back, stands up tall and puts on a serious expression
/adjusts the sleeves of my suit and strides forward for a few steps
/stops and turns around, grinning at you
How was that? Good?

@✪ Kim Heechul Ok naur. *snaps the pic anyways just for progress photos my brows nudging together* You have to do it like... You know, in the press conference way. Have you ever been on a red carpet? *eyes you up and down, silently judging if you haven't* Do it like that. Let's go again *claps my hand together and points to you* ...and Action!

@Lee Felix ... /stares at you with a quiet questionmark painted on my face/
...My default pose for walking into City hall... /slightly confused by all this but also finding all of this quite fun, more fun than my usual work/
How about this? /walks towards a door as I would normally

@✪ Kim Heechul Okay so if they were taking pictures of you before you go into a City Hall meeting then what pose are you gonna do ? *holds my phone poised to take a picture of you and raises my eyes to look at you* Show me your default one...

@Choi Chanhee /grimaces, half-insulted, half-amused
How thoughtful, dearest secretary.
/smiles smugly when you call me handsome, internally cooing at the cute faces you make
/pinches your cheek lightly
/chuckles as you waddle i mean walk out
...Alright. Back to work. /groans and sits back down at my desk, staring at my screen with a half-dead expression

@✪ Kim Heechul Ah… I’ll schedule some extra security in that case. Don’t want you getting hurt.
/purses my lips at the thought, only to be distracted by your touch
/closes my eyes with each kiss, a little dazed as I soak up the affection
Only because you asked me nicely. And you’re handsome.
/scrunched up my face in a cute manner and wipes my eyes, perking up at the compliments
Be good. I’ll be right back with your things!
/quickly sneaks a smooch to your palm before shuffling off to fetch your coffee and cakes

@Choi Chanhee Oh, never mind. Never mind. They just need to be reminded of what's good for them. /smiles, secretly looking forward to threatening and blackmailing some officials; its such a great way to relieve stress/
/raises a brow when you stop me from petting you and I don't push it/
/chuckles
/pulls my hand free and gently rests my finger under your chin
Such a good boy. /presses a kiss to your forehead
Now dry your eyes, sweetness. You're doing great. Get me two slices of chocolate cake, and something for yourself. /smooches your forehead again

@✪ Kim Heechul /peers up at you when you start using pet names, albeit softening up because of them
What do you mean by… convincing?
/inquires suspiciously and tracks your movements until you’re standing right in front of me, a hand reaching up to hold onto your wrist
Mm… Coffee and cake. Got it. Individual meetings too.
/sighs at the extra task and glances behind to make sure the curtains were shut, tapping my forehead after
Kiss first. And I’ll go.

@Choi Chanhee Yes... I know... /eyes you, the gears turning in your mind as you talk yourself through the situation
/snorts when you kick the door shut/
Darling, sweetie, my beloved secretary
This is not a school project. They all know what to do, and I need to make sure they're doing it right. No one likes to be chastised in front of a group, hm?
And well, maybe, a few need some extra 'convincing'.
/swivels my chair to the side and stands, walks around my desk to you and rests my hand on your head/
Don't worry your pretty little head about it. Just make sure I get lots of coffee next week, so I survive all those meetings. Can you do that? ....And schedule them too, of course. If anyone kicks up a fuss, tell them I'll be very disappointed if they can't make some time for their Mayor.

@✪ Kim Heechul Individual?
/looks up in disbelief, slack jawed because it means you’d be talking to about 20 people solo
But… but… Heechul it’s a mall redevelopment PROJECT. They all need to know who’s doing what.
/frowns and kicks the door closed to keep our conversation private, wiping my bangs away from my eyes
The only sense in speaking to them individually is if you’re paying them privately or… or…
/eyes widen at a realization and I step closer to your desk
What are you hiding?

@Choi Chanhee You did the list /breathes out in relief, my body visibly relaxing into the chair
Thank God. /looks up at the ceiling and closes my eyes for a moment before looking back at you, pouting, round eyes wet/
/clicks my tongue
Good, good. But you need to do the promotional event too. People need to plan it into their schedule, or they won't be able to make it even if they want to come.
Wait, one meeting? Chanhee... I need to talk to them individually... /rubs my temples, speechless

@✪ Kim Heechul /catches your gaze and feels a sense of dread settling in, trying not to panic
I… That list…
/takes a shaky breath and flexes my hands, nodding
I d-did that list. I haven’t done the l-list for the promotional events, though. But I know that’s later this month.
/stammers slightly with a visible pout, teary eyes avoiding yours
But I did do the mall. Shareholders will be present as well. Tuesday at 11AM. I got- um. I ordered catering too…

@Choi Chanhee Hmmm /purses my lips, deep in thought
No. No sugar in the coffee. But get me one of those chocolate cake things from that the cafeteria.
..... /a cold sweat runs down my spine
Chanhee... /eyes you, standing there wide-eyed, head empty, so clueless/
Chanhee---- The list! The list of people who'll be involved in redeveloping the mall. I gave you that list last week... Please tell me you booked in the meetings. /so close to despair

@✪ Kim Heechul /nods and scribbles your coffee request on my notes
Black again or with some sugar for a change?
/pauses and slowly looks up
People… for?
/hugs the iPad to my chest, tucking it under my chin; blanking

@Choi Chanhee /perks up when your cute self waddles- i mean walks into the room
/you were such a good hire
/laughs
I wish.
I need some coffee. Cold, with ice. /stretches my arms up high over my head and groans
Did you manage to schedule all those people from the list for next week?

@✪ Kim Heechul Coming! /scrambles to pick up an iPad and stylus the moment I hear your voice, swiftly making my way over to your office
/knocks twice on the door to signal my entrance, inwardly sighing when I see your exhausted state
You might as well take your shirt off at this point.

@Choi Chanhee Chanhee /yells from my office, slouched in my seat in front of my computer screen
/jacket tossed over the couch, shirt partially ed and the AC blasting
