Jisoo watched on in silent horror as Jeonghan snatched the eyeliner from the makeup artist's hand. "You're not doing it right," he seethed and proceeded to drag the heavy kohl around his lids. Minghao just chuckled to himself as he grabbed a few shirts from the rack. This variety show appearance was going to give Jisoo grey hairs and Minghao leaned over to assure him he hadn't brought any see through garments with him today.

"This," Jeonghan snatched up a black shirt with slits cut into the collarbone area. He proceeded to throw it over his head and undo the first four buttons before adjusting himself in front of the mirror. "A man knows what he wants..." Minghao said admiringly. "A man might be throwing his reputation away..." Jisoo was on edge. The initial reaction to Jeonghan's new sexy image had been positive but the public reaction wouldn't be properly gauged until the album came out.

Seungcheol just watched on with the kitten in his arms. "He likes you more than me," Jeonghan said softly as he approached them and stuck his hand out. "Bullshit," Seungcheol laughed. "Don't get cat hair on that shirt," Jeonghan just shrugged and took the kitten in his arms anyway. If he couldn't hug Seungcheol then Chan Chan would be a reasonable substitute. "They're ready for you," Jisoo said as he approached them tentatively and Jeonghan handed the kitten back. "Come and watch," he said and, along with Jisoo and Minghao, Seungcheol trailed Jeonghan to the set.

They all took seats and watched the filming. Seungcheol was surprised by how many takes there were. He had always been under the impression that these variety shows, the kind where the artist was subject to any number of slightly embarrassing games and challenges, were more organic and less scripted. He was shocked to see the games repeated over and over until the funniest outcomes were achieved.

What surprised him the most was, despite his claim on his new and sexy image, Jeonghan was the most adorable thing he'd ever seen. He played the games with humour and enthusiasm, his face lit up with laughter and delight, and he had everyone on the set totally enamoured. Seungcheol couldn't believe it was he who got to hold him close and kiss his lips. He could see why the whole country was in love with Yoon Jeonghan. He was starting to think he was too.

At the host's insistence, Jeonghan brought Chan Chan out for a special appearance and the kitten was just as endearing as his gorgeous owner. Finally, when the filming was over, the hosts said their polite goodbyes to Jeonghan and his staff. They gathered in the dressing room and waited while Jeonghan showered the thick layer of stage makeup off before they all piled into Jisoo's car. Jeonghan was tired so he waited in the car with Seungcheol and the kitten while Jisoo and Minghao went in to a restaurant and picked up some takeaway burgers and they all drove back to Jeonghan's building to share a quiet dinner.

"Carry me," Jeonghan whined as Seungcheol stepped out of the car and held his hand out. "Jeonghan, I thought you were trying to grow up, stop acting like a baby!" Seungcheol wanted nothing more than to give in and scoop the delicate man up into his strong arms and carry him through the carpark like he was some kind of princess. But he smiled and shook his head making Jeonghan whine and roll around on the backseat messing his hair and making Jisoo roll his eyes. However, as per usual, he was outnumbered as Minghao and Seungcheol laughed at the singer's ridiculous antics.

"Come on, the food's getting cold," Jisoo sneered at their antics. He sometimes felt like the world's most overqualified and underpaid babysitter. It was bad enough before Seungcheol came along but despite all his profession that he wanted to be more mature and grown up Jeonghan was more child like than ever when the bodyguard was around. He gathered up the bags of burgers and fries and tried to grab all the drink cups but one slipped from his grasp. "Shit," he swore uncharacteristically and when he bent down to pick the cup up he saw something. "Seungcheol," he said as he reached out with his hand, "there's something stuck under here...."

"Don't touch it!" Seungcheol said as he quickly snapped into work mode. He lay flat on the warm asphalt and peered under the car. He could see the corner of a yellow envelope stuck to the underside of the vehicle. The same kind of envelope left at his front door with the photos. "Okay, you two take him upstairs, now!" he turned to Minghao and Jisoo who quickly complied. "What is it?" Jeonghan asked and Seungcheol shook his head. He didn't know yet but he had to find out.

When Jeonghan was safely ensconced in the private elevator up to his penthouse Seungcheol went over to his own car. He searched the hatch for what he needed and quickly found the mirror attached to a short pole. It had a little light on it near the top and he flicked it on before returning to Jisoo's car. He used the mirror to inspect the whole underside of the vehicle finding it clear besides the yellow envelope. He put his gloves on and pulled out a zip lock bag, carefully feeling the envelope for lumps or protruding wires, before concluding its safety. He pulled it off the underside of the car, finding it unmarked or addressed, and slipped it inside the zip lock bag.

The bodyguard took a few moments to sit and think. How long had it been there? He would have to start checking every time they left to go somewhere. The tv studio carparks seemed secure but they had stopped for coffee on the way there and food on the way home. They'd stopped at stop signs and red lights and the traffic had been thick at some points in the journey. There was no way he could pinpoint exactly when the envelope had been attached. All someone had to do was literally bend down and stick it to the car. It would only have taken a few seconds.

Seungcheol knew he had to call Wonwoo before he opened it. He knew he had to get to Jeonghan as quickly as possible. He knew the fragile man would be looking for comfort and a part of him didn't want him to seek it from Jisoo. He grabbed the bagged evidence and ran for the elevator before he searched for his phone. He would check on Jeonghan first and call Wonwoo second.

He walked in to the apartment to find Jeonghan sipping on the straw of his soft drink, Chan Chan settled in his lap, his composure slightly unnerving in its calmness. "Everything okay?" Jeonghan asked when he saw the bagged envelope and Seungcheol shook his head. "I don't know yet what it is or how someone stuck it to the car. Or when they stuck it to the car." He put it down on the kitchen bench and walked back into the living room to sit next to Jeonghan on the couch.

"Let's just eat," Jeonghan began to pull burgers and onion rings and fries out of the bags and Seungcheol eyed him curiously. "Don't say it," Jeonghan said instantly. "You said I have to be strong and I am. I'll fake it until I make it Seungcheol so just don't mention the envelope. And I promise I'm not going to ask to see what's inside."

Seungcheol slipped into the kitchen and went through his contacts. His first call went unanswered and he immediately hit redial and got a very irritated Wonwoo on the line.

"There's been another envelope," Seungcheol said into the phone, "when can you get here?"

"Hopefully about 10am," Wonwoo seethed softly into the other end of the call. "I'm on a date with Junhui and I'm pretty sure I'm an overpriced steak and two beers away from getting my dick sucked."

"Fine," Seungcheol said curtly. "Come in the morning." He hung up and went back to the makeshift party in the living room but not before hiding the envelope somewhere he hoped Jeonghan wouldn't find it. He said he didn't want to see it but Seungcheol wasn't so sure he wouldn't get up in the night and search for it when curiosity got the better of him.
