Almost an year.

Soobin had taken almost an year to heal. An year to get himself out of the grasp of his past.
In the end, he won.
He healed.
He talked with everyone, listened to people.
He would go out with the others for a brunch.
He would treat his juniors to dinner.
He would call his friends, which included a long list of idols ranging from Arin to Jackson.

He would do everything to calm his aching heart.
But he had realised or he thought that he had, that his heart would not yearn so badly again.
That it would have a control. An immunity.

How false.

A few hours back.

"Coffee. Please, hyung."

Whiny Soobin had an effect on everyone on the face of the earth.
Jinyoung included, but initially he was a bit hard to bent.

"I will buy you icecream, bud."

Jinyoung snickered. How could anyone say no to icecream?

Soobin chided again.
"No... Coffee."

Ok. Kid's got something wrong.

So Soobin ended up in a nearby coffee shop with Jinyoung, with only a couple of hours before the start of their filming.

Wow, this feels a lot like deja vu, thought Soobin. Except, it's the wrong 'Jin'.

Affogato remained his favourite drink, even though he earned a comment from Jinyoung about how sweet it was, that it could actually make him go hyper.

Soobin responded by calling him a grandpa, to which Jinyoung responded with his evil smirk. The one which usually signifies that "somebody was gonna get their ass whipped later."

Soobin snickered as he drank his beverage.
Suddenly Jinyoung's phone rang.

"Now?... Oh ok. Be right there." He cut the call.

"What's up, hyung?", asked Soobin.

"I got to do the still photoshoot right now. They are calling. I have a feeling yours might be after the shoot."

"Oh ... Ok."

Jinyoung patted his shoulder.

"Haa drink up, bud. I'll call you if there's something. You got your phone with you, right?"

Soobin nodded.

"Alright. And I paid for it. Don't worry."
Soobin smiled as Jinyoung went away.

He found himself staring out of the window for too long as he did not notice the two figures that walked into the cafe.

Suddenly he heard one of them calling out.

"Yaaah, Heegi! Get me bubble tea!"

There was only one person in this world who called Heeseung as Heegi.
Soobin knew who.

"Heeseung plus aegi makes Heegi.", shouted out Yeonjun.

They were in the artist lounge, just chilling when Yeonjun blurted this out.
Soobin internally facepalmed while the rest of the Enhypen members went on to stare blankly at the wall. Beomgyu was almost sure that he would murder Yeonjun in his sleep.

Heeseung was actually smiling. No, grinning in second hand embarrassment.

Yeonjun then jumped up from the couch and pounced on poor Heeseung, grabbing his cheeks and pinching them.
"Aigoooo...Heegi is so cute!!!"
