A few days passed since I saw JB on the terrace that night. I was focused on my work in JYP. I've been editing some 2PM and 2AM videos this week and I finally got to see Taecyeon after such a long time.

"Hazel-ah!" He exclaimed when he saw me on their studio.

"Oppa!" I said and he chuckled. I have walked towards me and pulled myself into a quick hug.

"How have you been? I believe we have not seen each other in a long time. "He said while crossing his arms on his chest.

"I know, since New years eve party. I worked a lot with GOT7 the last month but now I am back with 2PM. "He smiled widely and clapped a couple of times.

"Great. I must admit we've missed you and could not help but wonder where you have been lately. "He said inviting me to get a seat next to him on the couch.

"Although we traveled to Japan and stayed there for a couple of weeks, maybe that's why we did not bumped into each other lately." He said and we both laughed.

"How is Japan?"

"Ahh ... One of my favorite places. Have you ever been there? "I shook my head in response. I've never been there but I'd love to go someday.

"No?" He asked shocked. "Well you should ... It's amazing." He took his phone from his pocket and started showing me some pictures of him and the rest of 2PM members during their vacation in Japan.

"We shoot a lot with the self cam, I guess you have plenty work." He said and I laughed.

"It's fine. I don't mind." I said. Suddenly the door flew open and Yugyeom entered the room.

"Hyung! Now I remember the song, it was-" He stopped talking when he realized I was there. I felt my heart sinking since I haven't seen him in a while now. I've been avoiding his presence just to avoid some pain.

"Yes?" Taecyeon asked a bit confused. Yugyeom was looking in my direction, he just stood there without saying anything. Taecyeon looked at me, maybe asking for answers. I just stood and bowed to him.

"I have to go now Oppa, have a good afternoon." I said and walked outside of the studio. My heart was breaking for what I just did, but I didn't want to give any explanations about anything and I didn't want to embarrass Yugyeom with my presence there.

I returned to my apartment and checked the clock. It was 9:12 p.m. I 've bought a pizza on my way home, I thought about going to the terrace to eat while I read my new book. I found a magical place where they sell books in English at low costs and I bought like ten. I did my way upstairs and sat on one of the chairs. I opened my pizza box and my book and turned on the flashlight.

The air was fresh and slightly cold but it was totally bearable. I thanked myself for wearing comfy but thick pajamas before I came here. I heard the door open and turned around to find JB with a book and a big plastic cup. He stared at me for a couple of seconds but shrugged and closed the door behind him.

"I am reading, I hope you don't mind." He said shaking his book on the air. I shook my head.

"Go ahead." I said. He sat a few meters away from me on the floor. He wasn't that far actually and I am pretty sure he choose that spot because is one of the few in the terrace where you can get a nice amount of light to read at night.
