A little girl in a blue dress sat in-between two men. She dug her plastic spoon into her vanilla ice-cream and munched on it slowly.

"Just disappear." the man on the left started. He wore a black suit with a grey tie and grey shoes.

"We haven't even introduced ourselves yet." the man next to him said.

"Disappear from my wife's memories and never come back."

"May I ask who your wife is?"

"I am Choi Minho and you are Mr Hoya, right?"

"Yes."

"I've been wanting to meet you for a long tome now, Mr Hoya... the boy who never smiled."

"Sorry?"

"This is Ellen Choi, my daughter. I want her to have a future with both her parents. I know clearly how much my wife still loves you so I want you to leave her."

"There's only ever been one girl in my life who I've truly loved and I don't—"

"Jenny..." Minho took a long pause then a deep breath. "My wife's name is Jenny...Choi."

"Jenny as in... my first love?"

"Yes. You're first, but never last, love."

"Choi Minho, Jenny Choi and Ellen Choi..."

"I beg of you, I never want you to come back into our lives. I sincerely hope this is the first and last time we ever meet Mr Hoya."

Hoya laughed in a way that he was laughing at himself. "I guess I've been caught up in my first love for too long. Even she moved on and has a child..."

"I don't think so."

"What?"

"She's still searching for you, that's why I came to meet you."

"That's why you told me to disappear. I guess you must know how much we loved."

"I couldn't forget."

"I'll go... forever."

"Going is better for all of us."

"Kiddo," Hoya bent down and placed his hands on the girl's face, cupping it sweetly. "Be nice to your mother. Don't make her sad, okay?"

The little girl nodded, not smiling but instead showing both fear and confusion on her pale face.

Hoya got up and sighed. "I have one thing I'd like you to do..."

"What is it?"

"Tell Jenny to end her search... Tell her I'm living happily with my family. Very very very happily." he smiled.
