"Sorry sir.!"

Mashiho and Yedam had left Treasure at the same time, no one knew the exact reason besides the lies they heard from fans saying they left for only personal reasons.

The members were given only a short notice of this before they left, and it broke their hearts.

(7 years later)

"Mashiho! Wait for me!" His best friend Akio yelled out to him as he left a 7/11.

"Ah Akio, when did you get back in town? Didn't you and your daughter visit your mom in Busan?" Mashiho asked as they walked to Mashio's apartment.

"Well yes but I was more like reminiscing about the time we lived there while my mother watched Akiara." Akio replied as he stole some of Mashiho's pork bun.

"Aye! Don't steal my food!" Mashiho yelled before quickly calming down as they entered the apartment complex. "What we're you "reminiscing" about Aki?"

"I met a few of my old classmates and friends and even some of my ex's who all forgot I existed." He answered as they got off the the elevator and walked into his apartment.

"Wow, I haven't seen any of my old friends since I moved here 7 years ago, still miss my family I made for around 2 years then had to leave." Mashiho pouted.

"Did you ever get the chance to tell Yedam-ssi that you liked him?" Akio asked as he sat down on Mashiho's rolling chair.

"Nope, and I don't know if I should regret it or not." Mashiho said as he walked into his bathroom about to shower from his long day at work.

"Oh Mashi.." Akio whispered to himself before looking down at his new contacts of the people he reunited with.

"If only you knew that he would be visiting soon." Akio sighed and sat his phone down. Yedam would be coming to visit Akio after reuniting a while ago, hoping to continue reminiscing about their past but most importantly, so Yedam can find the person he missed all these years, Takata Mashiho.

After Mashiho got out of the shower, he and Akio watched a few different movies before dozing off.

The next day

"Mashiho, don't you work at that one office job like 2 miles from here by walking?" Akio asked as he was about to leave his apartment to go to his job.

"Yeah, why?" Mashiho asked as he was writing in his big notebook, hoping for a new idea for the company.

"No reason, I just forgot." Akio answered and bid Mashiho goodbye and left.

'Akio knows where I work though..' Mashiho thought to himself as he put his notebook into his briefcase and got ready to leave.

Mashiho stopped by the 7/11 once again to get him a snack for after work and he went to go pay for it.

After he got to his desk in the office he immediately got to work, hoping to be able to leave early to go home and have a good meal for the first time in a whole week.

"Everyone, we have a new employee joining us starting today, please be mindful that he is from Korea and may not understand much Japanese, his name is not to be spoken until he's comfortable. Thank you for listening." Mashiho's boss informed everyone and went back to his office.

"Ooh~." Many of Mashiho's coworkers had been excited to learn about this new employee since they haven't had one in a few years.

'Eh, it's probably not anyone I know.' Mashiho thought to himself before telling everyone that he would be going on his lunch break.

He started walking outside and almost fully got to smell fresh air until he looked down for a few seconds and ended up walking into someone.

They were tall but they were wearing a mask, not uncommon but so many employees got used to not wearing them.

"Sorry sir.!" Mashiho quickly apologized before he kept walking.

'His scent reminds me of something.' Mashiho thought as he kept walking, trying to remember where that smell last remained before bumping into him.
