A few hours before:

Hyesoo stood there in what she would like to call utter shock. She must've been dreaming, there's no way the person she had bumped into was Jeno. The Jeno she knew. Seoul is a big city, and the probability of this happening was slim to none.

She wanted to say something. Maybe ask him how he was doing, catch up as friends - after all, the girl never reads the news and has no idea about his divorce. But, it was like her voice was stuck. Like she couldn't say anything. Like her unconscious was trapped in her conscious thoughts of reality that made sure she wouldn't dare to speak a word.

And that's why she lost him.

He stood up and walked towards the honking car, which Hyesoo assumed to be his wife - again, ex-wife, but pity the poor girl for not being educated enough. Jeno didn't even spare a glance back at her and drove off. The girl cleared her throat and stood up, attempting to brush off any dust. She groaned looking down at her now coffee stained blouse before heading towards Lovetalk Café.

"What took you so long? Taxi takes seven minutes to get to Hongdae from Itaewon. You took like forty-five minutes," Johnny asked, "Did you get hurt?"

Hyesoo shook her head, "Long line and someone spilled their coffee on me," She painfully chuckled, holding onto the tray of iced coffees.

Minghao nodded his head upstairs, "There's some out-of-season shirts. Take one and leave the drinks upstairs, as well. We'll be there shortly," He briefly said before heading towards the photo monitor.

The girl nodded, carefully making her way out. Once she was in the office, she changed her blouse into one from the old fall collection. After setting her own shirt aside, reminding herself to bring it home to be washed, Hyesoo plopped down onto one of the office sofas, Minghao and Johnny walking in soon after.

"Thanks for the coffee, Soo," Johnny said, walking in grabbing a cup. Minghao nodded, grabbing a cup of his own. "It's no problem, how are the portfolios coming along?" Hyesoo asked.

"Think we may just have enough," Minghao answered, "Oh, by the way, I invited one of my old friends to come visit. He's like my little brother, so take good care of him for me, will you?"

"Yeah, of course, any friend of yours, Myungho, is a friend of mine," Johnny smiled. The pounding sound of the door startled the trio, Johnny briefly standing up, "You guys wait here, I'll check who it is."

After a couple of minutes of waiting and a bit of small talk, Minghao stood up as well, "He's not back yet, so I assume it's my guest. You coming, Soo?"

Hyesoo nodded, "Yeah, give me a second. I think I got a confirmation message from Ko Taeyong's assistant." Minghao let out a smile and walked downstairs, the beaming energy from a heartwarming reunion could be felt all the way from the upstairs. Hyesoo quickly sent a reply to the new schedule and placed her phone in her pocket, walking downstairs to say hi to the guest... or guests, from what she could see.

"Oh, there she is," She heard Johnny say, "Soo! Come over here!"

Hyesoo smiled, walking over to the group who was lounging around. As the two unknown guests turned around, however, only then did Hyesoo's mouth contort. Not into a frown, but more of a very confused and forced grin.

You have to be kidding me.
