It's 3:30 in morning when her phone went ringing. Shit, she cursed under her breath. She's pretty sure that she already resigned from her job yesterday. Dara accepted the call without even knowing who the caller was.

"Hello?" She answered lazily.

"Hey.... It's me.... uhmmm...How should I say this...." The caller's voice somehow eerily familiar to Dara's ear. She didn't hung up and she wait till the caller to say something. "It's Donghae, you know as in Lee Donghae", She almost leaped out from her bed in surprise. It's Donghae! Lee Freaking Donghae! Her mind went screaming. It's been 5 years since they broke up. She already moved on and he already moved on.

"Hello? Uhh Dara?", she snapped back into reality when she heard him calling her name. "Uhh yeah... Sorry about that. It's just--"

"Yeah, I know you didn't expect that I'll call you again, after 5 years I think. If you're thinking about where did I got your number, I called Bom and asked her your new number". He said and he laughed awkwardly. "Yeah. Sure, why did you call?", she broke the awkward tension between them. "Yeah. It's about Haru, you still remember her, right?" He said and he cleared his throat. "Yeah, it's the puppy we bought on our 2nd anniversary. Why?"

"She died yesterday. I want to meet up with you, uhmm at least, attend the funeral..." He paused and took a deep breath which barely audible to Dara's ears. "If you can't attend the funeral, it's fine. I know you're busy and--" she didn't let him continue on what he about to say.

"I'm going. Are you still in there right? Meet me at the train station today. Be there at 6AM." She said and she stood up. "Yes, still the same place. Okay, gonna be there." He said. "Okay, bye" she said and hunged up her phone. She sprinted to her closet, what should I wear? She asked herself while scanning her clothes. She decided to wear white v-neck shirt and skinny jeans. When she's about to leave, a picture of her together with Donghae and Haru caught her attention, she picked it up and went outside. Maybe I'll bury this picture together with Haru.

After an hour and a half, she arrived at the train station and texted Donghae

|To: Donghae
         Where are you? I'm at the train station.

After a few minutes, he replied.

|From: Donghae
              I'm at the coffee shop near the station, you know where is it, right?

Dara didn't reply. She already knew where the coffee shop at, that's the place where they met 10 years ago. She gripped her shoulder bag's strap as she scan the place. She saw a man drinking coffee while he's staring at the window, she already recognized him. Of course, they were living together under the same roof for 4 years, in the past. She went to the table, Donghae shifted his gaze to Dara. He stopped drinking his coffee and stood up, he offered his hand for a handshake and she accepted it. They didn't utter a single word as they sat down. Dara is sitting opposite of Donghae's.

"So... How are you?" He asked Dara, he shifted his gaze again at the window. She rolled her eyes and she chuckled softly making Donghae to smile. "Fine and beautiful, as always. How about you, Mr. Lee?" She said as she wiggles her brow at Donghae, he laughed softly at her. They realized it's not that awkward anymore, time did fix everything. They thought that time really did heal their pain. "Still the same nerd you met here." He said and he smiled brightly. "So you're still writing a book? Or you already focused on painting?" She asked him as she sipped her hot chocolate drink. "Both, I'm currently working on my novel, and I paint on my free time", he said. She smiled, "Maybe I could read it after you finish the novel."
