In which he has been in love with her for so long and she just fails to notice it.
"You have no idea... My heart has been yearning for you, waiting for you."

The crease between Hongjoong's eyebrows is no longer deepened. Each of his facial features proudly eases into content as a grin makes way onto his face.
"That's it!"
When the very last piece of crystal is perfectly fixated onto the necklace which is one of his designs, he cheers in tiny. Despite bursting into a loud cheer is his wanted celebration at the moment, Hongjoong is quick to hold himself from doing so. He can't take the risk if any pieces that he has spending hours putting on his designs fall off.
Let's call it a day.
Wednesday. While Hyemi is with Emi at the café, Hongjoong is about to wrap up his work with the goofiest mood he has ever had in the last four days.
As he fishes out his phone which has been set in silent mode from his desk drawer, a message and few missed calls from Emi catch the man's attention instantly.
From : Yoshida jewelry addict Emi Guess who I met today?🤭
Especially the photo comes along with the text, it doesn't feel right with him at all.
There is no way he can't recognise the person in this photo is Hyemi although her features weren't fully captured. Her side face is nothing but alluring to him; intent gaze casts on the product on the rack; hazel hair frames her shoulders delicately. Judging from the surroundings, she is probably at a mall or a store.
It was sent an hour ago.
His finger as if has a mind of its own, tapping his phone screen to save the photo before texting back.
From : Hongjoong Where you got this?
To the boy's surprise, his phone flashes an incoming call from Emi as soon as the reply is delivered.
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? Drag yourself here and pick your girl up. It's almost half past nine so we can't let her go home alone."
Her loud voice from the other line makes Hongjoong feel like his hearing is nearly blown away.
After making sure Emi finishes speaking, he finally gathers courage to bring the phone close to his ear. "We? There's someone else?"
"It's Giseok," the voice's owner sounds casual. "He came to pick me up and joined us girls at this café for 30 minutes already."
The talk halts for a moment. His stomach is bound to drop, being aware that Hyemi definitely knows Giseok will become someone else's husband.
Before Hongjoong manages to speak up again, Emi just beats him to it.
"Why didn't you or Giseok tell me you both knew each other since highschool?" She nags, "I didn't know anything until Hyemi said that."
"I forgot." His voice almost fades out but curiosity is pretty serious, "Did she say anything else? Like they were friends or?"
