The next morning Mina was gone for her business trip in London. They were on bad terms, therefore neither of them said goodbye before leaving. San was aware that his girlfriend was a great resource for their firm, but sometimes he wished they had met under other circumstances. He truly admired Mingi; working with a significant other was a challenge.

San woke up to an extreme hangover, those Negronis always got him wasted. The sound of his phone echoed around his room. He said a little prayer before answering, hoping it wasn't one of his clients.

- Hello? - His voice sounded raspy.

- Hey you! How do you feel? You looked terrible when we dropped you off. - Mingi called to check in on his friend.

- Mingi it's 9:00am, I'm sure this call could have waited. -

- Actually no. I was also calling to tell you I'm on my way to pick you up. Today we're going to try on the suits for my wedding. I happen to have a designer friend, we'll drop by his store and check their options. - Mingi sounded very excited. Yunho proposed to him 5 months ago over a family dinner. He was so grateful for finding the love of his life and starting their own empire.

- Oh God... Fine, I'm hanging up now to get ready. Bring coffee please. - San got up from bed to shower quickly. He decided on wearing something fresh, the weather in Calabasas was always hot. San picked some short cargo pants along with a short sleeved black shirt. Because of his job, San couldn't show off his tattooed arms but today he would make them visible.

Once he was ready Mingi called him to come outside. Their relationship was very healthy, they were each other's safe space. Before being with Mina, San was a very outgoing person. He didn't miss a single party or boat rides. In one of the many parties, he met Yunho. Casually, his father was a colleague of San's father. They grew close to each other and one day in the summer he introduced him and Mingi for the first time.

- I'm really excited for today. My friend is a great designer, his creations are the 'crème de la crème'. - Mingi's wedding was in a month, he needed to find the perfect suit soon.

- Let's just try to make it quick. My head is about to explode with all the brightness. - San had been covering his face for the entire ride, the hangover was real.

They arrived soon at the boutique. From the outside it looked very appealing, it almost felt like it was owned by a woman. San followed Mingi to the entrance, where they were welcomed by a tall, gray haired man.

- Welcome to Jung Atelier. My name is Seonghwa, how can I help you? - The man had a smile on his face the entire time.

- I have an appointment with the owner. My name is Song Mingi. -

- Oh, of course. We've been expecting you. Please take a seat, Mr. Jung will be with you in a second. -

They sat together on the couch as they waited for the owner to arrive. San took his phone out to check his emails. His assistant, Jongho, was running the office for the day since he had this appointment.

- There you are! It's so good to see you. Thanks for having us, even after the short notice. - Mingi stood up to hug his friend. - This is my best friend San, he'll be the godfather of my wedding so I brought him along. -

San heard his name and put his phone away to say hello. He extended his hand, looking at the person in front of him. He couldn't believe his eyes. It was that man he kissed last night. He was drunk but he wouldn't forget his beautiful face.

- I didn't expect to see you again. - Wooyoung shook his hand, holding on to it for a moment.

- We live in a small world, don't we? - San smirked, slowly letting go of his hand.

- You two know each other? - Mingi was confused, he didn't remember introducing his two friends.

- We met briefly last night at your club. It was a shame, San had to leave in a hurry. - Wooyoung looked at San, it almost sounded like he was genuinely affected by the way they said goodbye.

- Well that's perfect then, we don't need more introductions. Now, can we please look at some suits? I'm getting cold feet. - Mingi walked to the back of the boutique, ready to search for the perfect outfit.

San did the same, looking through the racks. He thought he would get married soon but all his plans were set aside. Seeing his best friend made him feel happy as well; maybe he wasn't destined to have his happy ending but he would support his friends through theirs.

San finally found some suits to try on. He walked to the dressing rooms, entering the last one on the row. While he was getting undressed he heard a knock on his door.

- Can I come in? - Wooyoung waited for his answer before opening.

Wooyoung entered and closed the door behind him. He walked up to San to help him finish taking his shirt off.

- You're just going in without even a kiss? - San asked in a flirty way.

- San this is my job, this is what I do... I'm trying to undress you to help you wear the suits. - Wooyoung answered, his voice sounded dry.

- Right. - San cleared his throat and let Wooyoung do his job. - Listen, about last night... -

- Nothing happened last night. There is no need to talk about it. -

- I just wanted to apologize for storming out like that. - San tried to look for his eyes but Wooyoung was busy moving around the dressing room.

- Don't. We don't even know each other like that. - San noticed the sarcasm in his voice. Wooyoung finished fixing San's tie, he then grabbed his things to leave the room. San's hand grabbed his.

- Do you have plans for tomorrow? Let me take you out to lunch. - San had no idea what he was doing. He was getting carried away by the interest he had on Wooyoung. After all, he was very nice to him last night. He also made him feel... wanted.

- I have work tomorrow. - Wooyoung loved the idea but he wanted to play hard to get.

- Fine, I'll bring lunch to you. - San winked before exiting the room. He felt attracted to Wooyoung; he wasn't going to lie to himself. It was just an apology lunch, nothing else would happen after that.
