Nagging Mother Hen

Moon Chin Hae wished the fools in front of him have the happy life they deserved. Either together or on their own. It was totally up to them. With a smile, he saw the scene folding before him. Min Jun was making sure Young Jae was comfortable in the bed and enquiring if he needs anything. Then Min Jun looked satisfied with the way he had made the older guy comfortable as much as possible.

Min Jun turned towards Chin Hae with the face devoid of emotions. "We have an issue to settle. We need to discuss the traitorous project head you trusted now."

"Yeah! Let's get to work." Chin Hae complied and took Min Jun to the adjacent door leading to a small room. The room had brick walls on the three sides, whereas the fourth one had the glass wall proudly showing the view of the beautiful garden. It looked like a tiny serene-cosy little room with comfortable couches.

Chin Hae never used this place as his Big Boss, as BB liked this place. He knew Min Jun would be allowed in any place he wants in the establishment BB owns without a consequence. After all, Min Jun was their Big Boss's shadow. Not like Chin Hae was not allowed but he rarely uses it out of respect. They sat next to each other facing the garden.

"I changed the contract quotation altogether. We wouldn't know if the traitor revealed the amount to anyone. We don't have solid proof, and he was claiming that he didn't do it till the end. So either we can wait for BB to decide or let the ethics team from the headquarters to take over the issue. What do you wanna do?"

"Whatever BB wants me to do, Min Min! I am very blessed to have a capable secretary. If she didn't make sure that tender passes through her in my absence, everything would have been ruined. Is BB angry with me?"

"He is upset. He asked you to focus on your cousin and not work. He would have assigned someone. But you didn't listen..."

With the distress written on his face, Chin Hae started. "No matter how long I do this, I am getting more useless with these things. I can't even supervise..." A smack on the head made him stop his rant.

"Taking care of you and your mess was never an issue for me or BB or any one of us. You really think we will put up with you if we don't see you as a family. Stop your overthinking!" With that, Min Jun smacked his head again.

"Chin Hae Hyung! We are all humans at the end of the day. Mistakes happen! But you don't need to blame yourself for your subordinates crime. His action's consequences are on him! Not on you..." Min Jun said his words with a sympathetic smile on the face. He kicked his shoes off only to make himself more comfortably on the couch.

Silence fell on them, and both lost in their own thought! Moon Chin Hae could never forget how much people around him helped him all the while. The warmth he felt from them all these years never changed. The trust they had on him was so precious to him.

When his family falsely accuse him, the entire world didn't believe him but sided with his family. The school was ready to kick him out. He had no one to seek help from. He had no money. He was desperate. BB entered the principle office and retained him in the school with a few sentences.

"I know my hoobae. He didn't attempt to molest the girl. If you give a hand in ruining his life, I will ruin your life!'

BB had been his shelter from then. Providing for him and helping him in all his difficulty. Moon Chin Hae never interacted with BB before apart from for few times when they ran into each other in the basketball court. He has spoken to Wang Min Jun more comparatively way much more. Maybe because Min Jun had a crush on his straight best friend. Later only he found that Min Jun vouched for him and his character to BB. Baby-doll backed up his vouch. That was the reason BB, a high school student who was just 2 years older than him, backed him up.

That was the first time BB used his power as the first son of the school chairwoman. Everyone Knew about BB being the school chairwoman's son, and he never put an air out about it. He was punished like any other students when he did a mischievous deed. But being the elder brother of three siblings forced BB to mature up.

BB was the short form of Big Brother given by his siblings, but later a few other picked it at up in the meaning of Big Boss... sometimes people whisper behind saying it was Barbarian Boss. A fond smile appeared on his face whenever as he thought of BB as his Big Brother rather than the big boss.

A hand on his shoulder dragged him back to reality.

"What are you dreaming about looking like a fool smiling at nothing?"

"Just an old memory."

"Whatever… You were always overthinking and overprotective… like a 50 years old nagging mother... But what the hell was that? How could your skill to nag turn itself off when it was needed, and you overthink when it was unnecessary?" Min Jun's said with irritation clear in his voice and he eyes squinting as if he was mad. He sounded angry.

Moon Chin Hae was puzzled. They were fine a minute ago. But what went wrong? What was Min Jun even mad about?

The confused Moon Chin Hae looked at Min Jun like a sleepy kitten startled to awake, completely lost. After a minute of not getting a response, Chin Hae started to rack his mind about happened in the last few minutes. Was Min Jun upset about the mishap at work? But he said he was not. Min Jun always spoke his mind. Was it about walking in on Min Jun and Young Jae on the bed? But that didn't sound right as Min Jun called him in and asked to help with the 'accidental fall.' Then was it because…

Even before he finished thinking, his head was flicked hard. He let out a painful yelp.

"Stop running your head wild. I am not angry. Just upset..."
