REPLICA (BOOK 2)

Time Flies

"So how did last night go?" Hyunjin raced into Seonghwa's office to hear him and Wooyoung already discussing.

"I blocked him immediately." The CEO sighed. "Literally the second I got home, blocked."

"Oh, come on. You gotta give these guys a chance. Is this what you really want? To be alone forever and dwell on the death of your psycho husband?"

"Yes."

"Wooyoung, help me out here."

"Maybe try dating apps? I don't know." The assistant shrugged.

"Jisung keeps telling me to go to a nightclub because apparently it's effective." Seonghwa rolled his eyes.

"I absolutely agree." Hyunjin nodded. "If me, Wooyoung, and Felix didn't go that one night, we wouldn't be here right now."

"You think he might have some good suggestions?"

"Who? Felix? He'd tell you the same thing as Jisung."

"You know, I thought he and I would be able to bond over killing Minho and Hongjoong, but he tells me that someone with this much money shouldn't be complaining." He sighed. "I don't like how honest he is, it hurts my feelings."

"We call him the lesser evil version of Minho for a reason." Wooyoung laughed.

It's been a year since the eventful heist. In that time, not too much has changed. There hasn't been any chaos or killing - the world has shockingly been quiet.

Just as promised, Seonghwa got Hyunjin a dog, along with an apartment he shares with Felix. Somehow they still haven't gotten sick of each other, but they're both happy.

Soon after, San and Wooyoung got engaged and married. That wasn't a surprise to anyone. And just as expected, the entire wedding was financially covered by the CEO.

But as for him, Park Seonghwa had gone from hiding behind a dark persona to please the people around him, to becoming one of the most caring men the best friends had ever seen. Although these changes were positive, there was one major negative in his life. He was lonely.

Hyunjin and Wooyoung banded together for a second mission: find Seonghwa a partner. It was much less dangerous and scary, but still thrilling and exciting. With all the things their boss, and friend, had done for them, they both agreed this was incredibly important.

"Where's San? I trust his judgment." Seonghwa said to the best friends.

"At home with the child." Wooyoung replied. The secretary and CEO stared at him, having absolutely no idea who he was referring to. "Felix, I'm talking about Felix."

"Oh." Hyunjin laughed. "That never would've registered in my brain."

"Now that he's healed from his trauma and out of the bullshit, he's gone soft."

"No, he hasn't. Felix is still super tough." He pouted.

"Call him right now and put him on speaker, I dare you."

"No."

"Do it."

"I'll pay for your lunch." Seonghwa interjected.

"Fine." Hyunjin whined, taking out his phone and dialing his boyfriend's number.

"Hi, baby! You okay? I miss you." Felix answered after one ring.

Seonghwa and Wooyoung both had to bit their lips to stop themselves from laughing. Hyunjin rolled his eyes, not finding it funny whatsoever.

"Hi, angel. I'm okay, I miss you too. I just wanted to see if you wanted to join me for lunch today because apparently Seonghwa is paying."
