"Hey, what're you doing here blocking the entrance?" As I was fumbling in my purse to find my worker ID so I can pass the scanning. But apparently to this rude guy, I was blocking the entrance. Whereas I was just standing in front of one of the eight scanning machines.

"Minato...will it kill to just ask nicely?" Hmm...I seem that I forgot my ID card....

"Yes, dopey." He replied without second thought as he walked past me, purposely making a swag swing as he past the scanning. Grrr...I swear.... And this guy keeps calling me 'dopey'! There was no need to do that!

"There was no need for him to talk like that." As soon as I hear Shusei's understanding voice behind me, my fire died down half. It's hard to believe Shusei and Minato were best friends back in school.

"Did you forget to bring your card?" he asked as he took out his.

"Uh...yeah...."

He chuckled lightly. "Go on ahead." We both step into the same set of machines, he swiped his card, he followed close behind me so we can both get across in one swing. I can smell his fresh morning shave scent, it's like mint with a dash of vanilla.

"I'll see ya in the office, Saki." He gave me one last of those shining smile of his before heading another way. I nod and smile back at him.

As the elevator double doors open, I see it's as cramped as a bunch of tuna squeezing around in a fishing net. There's a chance I'd be late if I hang here too long to wait for it to empty, so I cram in.

"...Ow." A calm but deep voice sounded above me, I look up to Kaoru, whom I just bumped into.

"Ah. Sorry, Kaoru. It's really a squeeze right now, isn't it." I stand to the elevator metal wall beside him and try not to be pushed into him since people are pushing me.

"Yeah." His replies were always simple. He can be as cool as ice. And mind I add, super tall?

There was a small ping signaling that Kaoru and I are at our floor. I can breathe at last! But as I try to move, something pulled at my hair, I step back.

"Your hair."

I look down and see my hair caught on Kaoru's cuff link.

"There." He untangled it in a second, his slender fingers gently tease my strand of hair off.

"Thanks." He went out first as I try to follow. But after I got out, he was already disappearing down the corridor. Jeez, he really isn't going to wait for me, is he?

Before I walk down after him, I heard a voice at a near hallway. I peep around a corner and see no other than Chiaki chatting with one of the female employees of the building.

"This is thanks for the other day. I made them myself." The employee smiled as she handed him a gorgeously gift wrapped transparent holder with delicious-looking chocolate chips inside.

"Wow, thanks! I love cookies." Chiaki smiled at her as he took them over.

Huh, all the Seasonelle guys are so popular with women. First it's Minato whom basically every girl in the building thinks is cute; then it's the popular nice guy, Shusei; and now Chiaki, who always shows a sweet face and is very gentlemanly...

As soon as the female employee left, not a moment later, Chiaki toss the gift into the trash.

Did I mention I said 'shows'?
