**Leeseo's POV**

In the days after finding out mine and Gaeul's newfound connection due to Wonyoung, our interactions at the office have grown much friendlier. I hate to admit it but I think being Wonyoung's sister once again gave me nepotism even at my workplace. Although, Gaeul and I have been seeing each other almost everyday for the past 2 months so maybe I'm just imagining things and our relationship grew friendlier because we legitimately just became friends. Regardless of nepotism or not, what I do know is that I have grown into a respectable manager which even the department heads acknowledge. They've begun to trust me to oversee and handle their problems even without Gaeul involved. Because of this, Gaeul and I actually work together a lot; almost for every project that we're handed now.

"Gaeul...I am TIRED!" I rested my entire body on the back of my chair, exasperated from typing for hours on-end. We had just finished the final draft of another major assignment handed to us by Mrs. Choi directly.

"Good thing it's finally over huh?" She glanced around, "Huh...everyone's gone...have we really been in here for that long?" She scratched the back of her head in amazement.

I hadn't realized it but Gaeul and I were so focused on our work that everyone else had left the building already and it was pitch black out.

"Crud. Chaehyun took the car too. I forgot she had to go to her mom's house today after work," Gaeul remembered.

"So...it's 2 hours past our shift, it's pitch black out, the busses are done for the day, and we have no car. Great!" I sarcastically said.

"There is somewhere we could go though. We just need to walk a couple minutes."

I raised my eyebrow, "which is...?"

Gaeul winked in response, "You'll find out."

I didn't think about it at the time, but I'm going somewhere in the middle of the night with my boss, who just so happens to be someone that I may or may not have feelings for, who is also one of my sister's bestfriends. Great.

"Gaeul, where are we going?" She led us west of our building toward a sketchy-looking alleyway. We were walking for what felt like 10 minutes yet Gaeul just kept going forward without looking back. The flickering streetlights barely illuminated our path.

I scanned around to see what other buildings were nearby: a fire station was on the next block over, there was a coffee shop on the corner, a music school and church on the side. She stopped in front of a small building that seemed old and abandoned. I guess this street didn't seem horribly bad. 

"Here's hoping I still remember the password," Gaeul sighed before opening the keypad for the door. She quickly typed in a code which beeped green afterwards.

My mouth was agape, "How did- WHERE ARE WE?!?!?"

"A friend's music store."

"A friend's music store?" I questioned, still baffled by what was happening.

"Yeah. Sohyun's," she answered nonchalantly, "She used to own this place before she got married and all but she abandoned it since the marriage; didn't have the time anymore."

"And how did you know the password?"

"She told me about this place when she found out I worked at Planet Co., told me if I ever needed a safe space, this store was nearby and abandoned. I didn't want to tell anyone at the company about this place, yet here you are."
