He's the first person who broke the silence. "So, do you mind telling me your problem?" Siwon asked carefully all the while looking at her changed expression.
She sighed again and stopped eating her ice cream, "My usual problem of course."

"Is it your manager?"
"Who else? That bitch always has a way to get into my nerves."
Siwon used all of his willpower to hold back his comment about Heechul's language. He didn't want to be her next target. "What did she do this time?"
"Do you remember the dress that made me agree to this deal?" She asked back. Siwon nodded. "Well, finally she found out that I was the person who damaged the dress. She'll fire me and make sure no magazine will accept me if I fail to replace that dress."
"Wow, she's quite evil." Siwon commented before tossing his melted ice cream into the trash bin.
"She's evil indeed. Just like my senior writer. They're both evil bitches."
I've had enough. Siwon thought. "Heechul, watch your language!" He said sternly.
"Aish, come on. Why can't I curse someone when I'm upset?" Heechul pouted and started sulking again.
"But still, that's not proper." Siwon murmured to himself and sighed. He never knew that Heechul's mood could change so quickly and he really want to cut his tongue for making unnecessary comment.
"I'm full. You should finish this ice cream. It's your fault I can't finish it." Heechul whined and shoved the ice cream tub to Siwon. Without saying anything, he took the ice cream tub and started eating the ice cream. He stopped, "I ate this ice cream last week but why does it taste slightly different? Did I buy a different brand?" He mused. After checking the brand, he was sure he bought the same one. He merely shrugged and continued eating the ice cream while listening to Heechul's story.
"If you were there with me, I bet you'll agree with me that she was indeed an evil bitch. She treats me like a little piece of s—ooops! Sorry," She quickly corrected herself after seeing Siwon frown upon her choice of word. "The point is, I was upset with her and I said that I will replace that dress in one week but if I fail, she'll definitely fire me."
Siwon choked "O—one week? But the dress..."
"I know! It's impossible." Heechul cut him off even before Siwon can finish his sentence. "Don't worry. I'll take the consequences."
A bitter smile appeared and her expression dropped as she averted her gaze from Siwon and chose to stare at the ground instead. A side of him really hated it. He hates it whenever he sees her sad. He prefers to see a pout, frown, smile, or anything other expression but not sadness or tears.
"I'll help you. I made a promise to help you and I will fulfill my promise."
Siwon's cold hand gripped Heechul's warm hand and it instantly brought both of them comfort. It's weird but for today, all weird thoughts and weird opinions were pushed to the back of their mind.
"Really? But your grandma hasn't made a decision yet. What if our deal really ends today?" She asked worriedly.
"It doesn't matter to me. I will still help you. Just consider that dress as my thank you gift."
