epilogue [5/5]

"MBXTS Company just recently brought over Min Technologies. Min Technologies had just publicly declared that they were bankrupt after being exposed for using fraud parts of mobile phones, causing harm to people around the world," the news anchor reports, attracting the man's attention. "So far, no one knows who is the real boss behind MBXTS. Who is the mysterious boss that refuses to let him or her known to public?"

The man looks out of the new building that he recently purchased, his office was at a higher floor that allowed more of the central business district to be seen. His company only went up and with every obstacle overcame they worked even harder. Innovation, creative and hard work was the only way he made the company continue.

His phone rings and he picks it up, without glancing at the screen. "Hyung, am I making the right decision? My hands are sweating and my throat is dry. I am never like this! This has to be a bad sign!" the person immediately rants.

"It's something called nerves, stupid," Donghyuk immediately replies, a smile appearing on his face. "Junhoe, calm down. You're proposing to her, obviously your nerves will be essentially all over the place."

"Am I ready for this commitment? Can I bear it? Does she want this? Oh my, what if she doesn't want this? I should canc-"

"Utter that word and I'm serving all ties between the both of you," he threatens. " You've helped her through her break up with that forsaken guy. Dani has been expecting this for months. That's all she'll talk about when I meet up with her at least. She loves you... and you love her. Bloody propose to her."

Junhoe continues to blabber nonsensical endings that had zero possibility of happening and the older wishes to punch him at that very moment. "Oh my gosh, Koo Junhoe. Man up, go in there and ask her to marry you," he states before hanging up, not wishing to hear about the other's nerves.

"Mr Kim," his assistant of five years, Minji calls out from the door and he turns around. "You have a meeting to attend."

He thanks her and gathers the material needed for the meeting. He turns off the television and sets down the remote down at the coffee table. He glances to the couch next to it. Where are you? He walks out of the office and heads for the elevator.

Whilst waiting for the elevator to reach the correct floor, he catches a glimpse of himself in the reflective surface. His jawline was more defined but cheeks were sunken in, his hair was dyed a brown shade and his body was even more muscular. On the contrary, his eyes reflected mischievous and youthfulness. His mind wanders back to the girl as a soft smile takes over his features.

Before his thoughts could continue, the elevator 'dings' and he exit with Minji right behind him. He enters the meeting room and Minji closes the door, not even entering but he doesn't notice that. He looks around to the empty room and quirks an eyebrow. At the end of the room, a lone person stood with their back against him.

"Sorry, I think I'm in the wrong meeting room," he says, clearing his throat and was about to turn to leave when his mind registers who it was just from the back profile. "Youjung?"

At the mention of her name, she turns and an eye smile evident, paired with a grin. "It's been a long time, Donghyuk," she says. "How have you been?"

She was slightly taller, skinner and facial features more matured. What used to be sneakers, graphic shirts and blouses were exchanged for ripped jeans, white shirt, blazers and heels. Her bag packs turned to handbag and laptop switched for tablet. Her hair was longer and had more volume than before.

A grin breaks out on his face as tears gather at the edges of his eyes. His hand rises to push his hair back, looking around the room before landing back to her to confirm that it was reality. His eyes squeeze to stop any liquid from leaking. "You're back," he utters out.
