"I'm really sorry Mr. Kwon but we have to let you go."

"I don't understand this Sir. Why? Can you give me a good reason why I need to leave the company?"

"You are doing well when you started. It seems you are motivated with the work you are doing and as well as making sure of the quality. However we noticed that with the past two months, you've been slacking and unwilling to do your work. You are not even meeting the quota."

"Please Sir. Give me a week to improve my performance. I can definitely give you a turn around."

"I'm sorry Mr. Kwon but we already provided you a month to do so. But then we didn't even see any increase with your performance. In fact your rank had been lowered instead of stepping up. We know that we can't replace your tenure in the company. But what can we do if we are not profiting with that? I am really sorry but you need to leave the office as soon as you can."

Jiyong hit the rock bottom. He is now in a stranger country with no job. Jiyong knew this will happen sooner or later but then he never expected that it would hurt this much. He felt like the biggest loser ever stepped on earth. He didn't know how to tell Kiko that he lose his job. For sure there will be another nagging session when he gets home. He decided to walk around the mall to pass time, to forget what happened for a mean time, he went to a place he misses the most. The arcade.

Jiyong forgot what happened today but it was replaced by his memories of the past. It had been lingering for the past months, creeping at the most inconvenient and random times.

**"hahaha!!! Another top score! I am really the best at this one!"

"eii~ you're the top scorer because no one plays this game. So the machine doesn't have any choice but to declare you!"

"tss~ you're just jealous because I have a better hand and feet coordination than you!"

"Why would I be jealous?"

"Because you're a dancer but with this simple drum game, you can't even clear out a single song! Hahah."

"It is different than dancing you know!"**

He misses her. That's the only possibility Jiyong can think of why he is always thinking of what happened before.

"Secretary Choi we have to make sure that the presentations are now ready for the stock holders for Director Kang's proposal. I need to have the copy of the slides before he present it so I can at least persuade them that it is a great idea."

"I will Miss Lee. I'll give you the slides by this afternoon after I contact Director Kang."

Chaerin is still tapping and scrolling through her tablet while they are at a restaurant taking their lunch. Seunghyun snatched away her tablet which made Chaerin knot her eyebrows.

"Secretary Choi, if you are kidding around, I don't have any time for it. Give that back to me."

Seunghyun just smiled and snapped his fingers. As soon as he did that, a cake is presented in front of Chaerin.

"What is this?"

"Happy Birthday Chaerinnie."

Her eyes went plate size as she remembers what day it is. How can she forget her own birthday?

"is it? Oh God! I totally forgot. We've been working nonstop and I lost track of dates. *sigh* thanks Seunghyunnie."

"Eat it before it melts."
