"Here's your order, enjoy!" I joyfully served a customer and flashed a genuine smile before going back to the station. Some girls were bashfully whispering towards each other as I walked by but I couldn't care less.

"What's up with you today?" Hyungwon lowly asked without sparing me a glance as he cleaned the espresso cups,

"Why? I feel fine", I hummed and pressed the hot water button whilst making the next order.

"This", he pointed his long index finger up and down on me, "This overly excited expression you're having after a while. Is it Sohee?"

"Am I that transparent?" I giggled freely before nodding, "Thankyou for yesterday."

"S-sure", Hyungwon chuckled, "I reckoned it went smooth?"

"Yeah", I licked my lips at the thought of yesterday but quickly dismissed my own thoughts, "But she changed. I didn't recognize her at first."

Hyungwon briefly stopped what he was doing before continuing, "Mhm, her hair is all silvery and purple-ish now, brings out her pale skin even more."

"It's okay, Hyungwon-ah", I patted his shoulders, "I know how beautiful she looks now and it's okay if you want to compliment her in front of me. This is a free country."

"Odd", he admitted, "You're usually overprotective to anyone who admire Sohee."

"Karma serves me right, dude", I shook my head but remained faithful, "I won't mess up this time."

Hyungwon only laughed at my sudden seriousness. We shared the silence for a couple of minutes until we both called each other out,

"Hyungwon-"

"Hyung-", Hyungwon cleared his throat, "Um you go first."

"Nevermind me, you should go first", I informed as he rubbed the back of his neck,

"I've been having this thought lately", he began speaking, "At first, I thought I was too paranoid for my own good, but seeing how you act, I think I can talk to you about it."

I looked up to him, pondering whether we were about to talk about the same thing, or person.

"What is it?" I softly asked,

"It's about Sohee's bestfriend-", he bit his lower lip, "Supposedly close friend, Kihyun."

A satisfied smirk appeared on my lips, "I was about to talk about him, too."

"Really? Thank god", Hyungwon breathed out in relief, "Every time he's around, I keep getting weird vibes from him. I thought my head was messing with me because truthfully, I couldn't remember him clearly."

"Because you- all of us never knew him until now." I concluded, "I don't know what he did, but somehow he managed to put this idea in everyone's head."

"Yeah, just like another day, Minhyuk scolded me for being an ignorant brat who forgot that friendly trip we did with Kihyun," Hyungwon sighed deeply, "That trip doesn't exist."

"Wait, so let me clear this up," I began talking, "You and I clearly realized the oddness of this Kihyun, but who didn't?"

"Basically everyone. Shownu, Minhyuk, Jooheon and even Sohee's parents!" He let out in frustration as I shook my head,

"How did he do it?"

We both leaned against the counter and did some deep brainstorming, looking into each other as we said the same thing in unison,
