[Johan's POV]
For the first time in three years, Johan went to work earlier than eight-thirty.
When Johan received a call from Adrian while preparing his food later for work, he assumed it's his mother out to interrogate him about his relationship with her son. And he's more than ready to deliver the most believable lie he could muster to save both their asses from getting found out.
"Han?" Distress laced Adrian's tone. It's as if he's on the verge of crying. "Can you come to work early?"
"Why?" Johan pinched the phone between his ears and shoulder. "What's wrong?"
"I-It's a long story. But it's my brother."
Adrian filled him briefly about the situation. He sounded lost, unsure of what to do, if he should go to work, wait for news alone at home, or travel straight to which hospital his brother was rushed for medical treatment.
