      Yoona winced as she hit her elbow on her desk. She held back tears from the pain for she hasn't healed fully but had insisted on getting back to work. She breathed short breaths to calm down and to let the pain pass. When she could breathe again, she slowly opened her eyes and saw Jisung quietly judging her. Her assistant didn't say anything but the look on her face said it all.

      "The contract for the lease of the building in Jagok-dong is ready, all you need is to sign. Madam Yun also called and asked about her project. She set an appointment over coffee tomorrow and I accepted it for 2 in the afternoon. There are a few minor projects that I can do for you, is there anything else you'd like to add in for today?" Jisung asked, all business-like.

      Yoona sighed, relief evident on her tired face, "No, that's all. Thanks Jisung, I feel a headache coming on. I'll just call you when I need you. Thanks again..." she said and turned back to her work. Jisung bowed and went to get back to her office but she stopped just before turning the door knob, "You know you can just go home, right?" she said quietly. Yoona was startled because it was so unlike Jisung to be unprofessional. Her assistant also seemed taken aback at her own behaviour but she composed herself and stood up straighter as if to challenge her boss to comment.

      In the past, Yoona would have severely reprimanded her for speaking out of turn but since meeting Ji-yong and enjoying his easy-going nature, despite his being known for a perfectionist, Yoona has actually learned to be less severe and be more forgiving of other people, because of Ji-yong. She laughed as she realized this which caused Jisung to frown worriedly.

      Yoona was thankful for being loved by Ji-yong which in turn helped her to be more understanding and loving. So she smiled and said, "You're right. I was just being stubborn. Can you help me get my things? I hit my elbow and now my whole shoulder hurts..." she told Jisung.

      Jisung smile while holding back tears. She turned away from her boss and cleared her throat before saying, "Of course Ms. Jung. I'll wait for you outside..." she then gathered Yoona's stuff and promptly waited outside. Yoona - ever the workaholic – wrote some minor stuff on sticky notes that she wanted for Jisung and the team to do. She then cleaned her desk and went out. Jisung wanted to see her down to the parking lot but Yoona declined. "It's alright, I have somewhere to go first..." she told her assistant and said goodbye.

      Ji-yong was catching a power nap in the van. They were being driven to another schedule from Inkigayo, where they were pre-recording their comeback stage because they couldn't perform live due to a conflict in schedules. He was supposed to nap for a little bit but he didn't notice that he slept fully until Daesung woke him to give him his phone. 

      "Hello?" he said sleepily. "Hey sleepy head...I must have woken you..." Ji-yong heard the smile in Yoona's voice and he came awake fully. He laughed, "Uh yeah...you did but I don't mind waking up to your voice. I miss you..." he said in one breath. 

      It was Yoona's turn to laugh and his tiredness miraculously faded away. "What are you doing now?" he glanced at his watch and asked, "You're working, aren't you?" he continued. He was a bit mad because knowing how hard she worked; she probably is at the office rather than just following the doctor's orders and resting at home.

      Yoona laughed uneasily and replied, "Well, I did and then hurt myself. Can you come and get me?" she said in a small voice. Ji-yong knew how difficult it must have been for Yoona to rely on him because she was so used to being strong and to doing things alone. But when he heard her plea his heart swelled with love and pride and he immediately asked to be let off.

      "Yah, hyung! Where are you going?" asked Seungri in surprise. Ji-yong smiled his lopsided smile and saluted his goodbyes, "Au revoir!" he dashed onto the pavement and hailed a cab. "Wait for me, I'm on my way..." Ji-yong told Yoona, as he urged the cab driver to driver faster.
