Seoul, South Korea.


Later the same day.

-Hwiyoung's POV-

I talked with Taeyang for a while. We caught up with the latest things that happened this week, and later, we goofed around. It was fun until Taeyang slept next to me on the couch.

    Currently, I'm looking at Taeyang while his head rests on my shoulder. It feels pleasant to be with him, and I feel happy to share my space with him; however, I feel concerned and upset. Something deep inside is telling me there's a situation I must sort out.

I'm trying to remember my past, but my memories appear blurry and almost nonexistent.

I continued focusing on Taeyang until a sudden ringtone caused me to avert my gaze from him. Shortly, I looked at the table and saw Taeyang's phone screen lighten. Immediately, I took it and realized the caller was Youngbin-hyung; hence, I answered without hesitation.

-Hello? – I said while placing the phone on my left ear.

-Hwiyoung? Is that you? Why do you have Taeyang's phone? – Youngbin asked, confused.

-Oh, we saw each other and decided to hang out before returning to work. – I lied while looking at Taeyang beside me.

-He's in the restroom, so I answered. – I said without thinking twice.

-Alright. I'm glad you two keep in contact because I need you again. – Youngbin mentioned.

-For what, hyung? – I asked, confused.

-You have new series together. I already talked with the director; he wanted you both in his new series as protagonists. – Youngbin explained, making my eyes grow after his words.

-Are you for real? – I asked, surprised.

-Yes! The screenplay specifically got written for you two. After "World Collision," the screenwriter wanted to create something new for both. – Youngbin said while sounding excited.

-Tonight, we'll meet with the director due to your tight schedules. But tomorrow, you'll resume your current activities. – Youngbin revealed.

-Alright. Tonight, around eight? – I questioned.

-Yes, most likely to be at eight. And next week, you'll hold an exclusive interview to unveil your newest project with Taeyang. – Youngbin said as I heard him typing on a keyboard.

-Got it, hyung! I'll let Taeyang know about it. – I assured Youngbin while smiling from my end.

-Thanks, Hwiyoung! Take care and see you at eight. – Youngbin said before ending the call.
