TIMER, BUMMER [ a sunki au ]

008 - till the time you left.

the next day, ni-ki get ready to leave and go home for almost 5 years. he tidy up and went to fix his tie, how come this man is so handsome? that's why everyone fall for him.

they went directly to the airport and took the private plane since they're in a hurry and don't want to wait any longer. ni-ki sat down while his secretary faces him across the table. "sir nishimura?"

ni-ki looked at her, "hm?" in a mild tone but confused one.

her secretary nervously said, "ms. airi said that the deal is off if we are not going to their party this friday."

ni-ki grin and said, "do mind them. they're being over dramatic,"

rei just nodded and looked at the tablet again with disappointed face. she wants to celebrate her bestfriend's birthday but i guess, not this year.

While sunoo was finishing his tasks. Someone called from the office phone, he was so tired to get it but he has no choice. It's his job.

So he got up, walked towards the phone and accept it the call. He wished it was just a friend but no, it was someone else.

sunoo: hello, jbk clothing, who is this?

Rei: oh this is from NRKC clothing. We would like to inform you that mr. Nishimura will be visiting your company tomorrow.

sunoo: ni-ki?

Rei: mr. Nishimura riki will take a visit tomorrow, who is this ni-ki person?

sunoo: oh. Sorry–– I.. nevermind. Thank you for informing me, I will make sure to tell our CEO.

Rei: thank you and have a good day!

sunoo: yeah. You too.

And he coldly hang up the phone call before he completely freak out and say nonsense.

Ni-ki is in seoul?

He thought about it while walking back to his table. He can't believe it. After many years of ghosting, he finally showed up. Wow. Just like that, ni-ki showed out like sunoo didn't even knew him at all.

+++

"showing just out of nowhere?"

Chaewon just can't believe it too. And slam her forehead with her own palm.

But sakura spoke, "are you sure he ghosted you?" And that made sunoo disappoint himself even more.

Chaewon flick her temple really hard, "yah– if your crush disappear all of a sudden, it's called ghosting. Dumbass."

And sakura did too. "I know and that hurts."

Sunoo just sits there, like wondering what is life.

And the bickering continues between the two best of friends while the boy, he just slam his head in the table with his lunch.

[ The next day ]

Sunoo's routine was the same even though it's hard and having a pressure meeting his past again. Not past lover, that's for sure.

He drove to the parking lot, met his friend, get into his office which was lucky because their ceo or his hyung went to the comfort room. Anyway, he sat down, prepares document to be signed later on. And NRKC's visit later too.

It was very busy as usual, not even a single glance was brought by. Because really, sunoo wants to busy himself to distract from thinking of that guy.

[ 11:50 AM ]

The time was ticking faster than what sunoo would think of. It was really fast and as the time, he was nervous and at the same time curious of what he might look like after all those years. It was really a long time.

[ 12:00 PM ]

The guy look at the time and shit, here it is. It is really time.

And the office phone rang again. I hate you so much ni-ki. That was his last thought before answering.

sunoo: hello, jbk clothing, who is this?

He spoke first as usual.

Rei: Good afternoon mr. Kim, this is from NRKC clothing. Mr. Nishimura has arrived in the building.

sunoo: ..ok, please be advised by our assistant while assisting you and we will be waiting at the meeting room.

Rei: ok, thank you! That was from mr. Nishimura.

sunoo: it's our honor.

And the phone hung up.

+++

While waiting, sunoo was nervous as hell not because of the ceo but because he had never seen or even heard of ni-ki for a long time and this is the first time they will ever saw each other. And he doesn't know what to do, will he tried to be a stranger? Or if ni-ki will even know him at all.

After some time, some people walk towards sunoo and the CEO. all the employees stood up and bow at the guesses. And sunoo did too.

He wants to cursed himself for not seeing this bog for a long time but luckily he didn't.

While walking towards them, sunoo's world stop for a moment. He never seen anyone like this before, until now. Ni-ki has totally different aura now, not like before, not like he used to know. Sunoo look directly at him and not with everyone else's.

Ni-ki notice him too. They both look at each other, like a past looking into the present type of thing. And it was perfect. Ni-ki thought it was someone else but when he look, he saw the most gorgeous boy he never imagined.

But it was not a stranger to him, it was sunoo. Whom he left and didn't even said goodbye. It was his fault honestly.

Do they want that to happen? No.

But honestly appealing, ni-ki looks at sunoo like an angel looking straight at him too. Wearing that plump lips, shining black hair and his infamous eye colour which he loves the most about.

They were no difference before. He still loves sunoo. But sunoo might think otherwise. Sunoo thought that maybe, just maybe, ni-ki loss his feelings for him and that made him more disappointed than before he met him.

But just like when I met you, it was beautiful. Till the time you left. You were a stranger.
