Yuta expected to be the first one in the room but eventually was greeted by a yawning Taemin. He walked backward, his eyes glancing at the fast-paced music video. The TV screen radiated in the room's corner. He attempted to draw the curtains without earning a tantrum from Taemin.





As he tiptoed closer, a pillow hit him right in the back. 'No!!' the sleepy head complained, giving a brief look and resting back on the couch. Why does he hate mornings, is he a hacker or a vampire? Judging by the elder's unaltered beauty, he would fit perfectly in the immortal side.





'You slept here?' Yuta asked, pushing away the other's legs from the space to have a seat. 'Krystal brought a guy last night.' Taemin replied, pulling the strings of his hoodie together. 'Krystal from spy team?' Yuta tried playing off cool. His history with her went way back. Taemin nodded lazily, increasing the TV volume.





'Tsk. Key Hyung is too lenient with his unit,' Yuta said, horizontally balancing the remote on his two fingers. 'Didn't complain, when you two were a thing,' Taemin narrowed his eyes as the remote slipped through the other's hand.





'You knew?' A sense of panic struck the younger. His fake smile faded watching Taemin smirk. The man knew much more. The door slid open as the other three entered.





'You used this same office,' Taemin whispered, raising his brows. He was in the mood to blackmail someone.





'Please! Minho Hyung will kill me.' Yuta held his palm close to Taemin's mouth, afraid he would reveal it. Taemin smacked the shoulders as the boy hovered over him with full strength.





'Why do you fight every morning?' Jonghyun yelled at the pair. Day by day their bickering was turning uncontrollable. Key rolled his eyes at the two and went back to switch the channels.





'Park Sungho to run for next presidential elections,' the news anchor reads out the morning headlines. 'Campaign to start with a huge announcement.' The younger two stopped at the mention of the politician. The news turned everyone attentive, their eyes darting towards Minho.


















'Where are we going?' Hyuna's insides churned with a pit of uneasy feeling. The girl still had doubts whether it was okay to call Mr. Kim publicly, dad. She had practiced it enough times in front of the closet mirror to make it seem casual. Her attempt felt terrible with the silence that followed.





The man seated beside uttered a single word 'shopping'. The tone came out much lower than expected. Hyuna's eyes shone at the response. Her eyes met with Jinki's through the mirror and the friend gave a sweet smile as he drove. The girl felt content thinking her father made an effort to bond with her.





Trying not to get too ahead with happiness, Hyuna looked out the window at the glittering billboards. Most were filled with Ji-Eun's comeback teasers. She had a cute fangirl moment whilst slightly brushing her fingers on the Swarovski bracelet, the one IU actually wore in her drama, Hotel Del Luna.





Soon the car halted, making them voluntarily step down as the doorman held the car door open. Hyuna slowly followed her father as he walked into a couture store. The man did not wait or bother to look back at his child.





'Good morning ma'am.' a female staff greeted. Hyuna bowed and responded with a smile. 'What are you looking for?' the lady continued, ready to assist her. Hyuna gave her father a confused look. She took a minute to glance at the beautiful pieces on mannequins.
