Hayan and Junhong were walking around town, hand in hand and smiling. Any person who didn't know them would think they were together. But the pair knew better, they were just having fun and that was what she needed.

"You said Himcahn found you. What do you mean?" Hayan asked and skimmed through a rack of dresses. "I got kicked out of my house because my grades lacking... a lot. I was never really school smart. I lived behind dumpster for a few months and stole money to keep myself fed. When I said Himchan found me, it was more like I found him, or more like his wallet, He caught me trying to steal from him. That's how it happened." He explained, expression sinking. "You're a good guy, Junhong." She said and placed a comforting arm around him.

She took a dress off of the rack and looked at it. It was a black, tailored dress that down to just above the knee. The sleeves were long and it was backless. She thought it was beautiful.

"That would look really good on you." Junhong said and she scoffed. "I highly doubt it. Besides, I don't have a reason to wear it." She said and hung it back. "You don't need a reason anymore. Now go, try it on." He said, pushing her towards the dressing rooms.

Junhong was right, she had money to spend and didn't need a reason. She was allowed to spoil herself, but it took getting used to.

She indressed and slipped the garment on. Hayan admitted the dress looked great, it complimented her every way. Opening the changing room door, she stepped out and twirled. Junhong chuckled as she spun and looked at her with a satisfied smile. She looked happy and it made him happy to see her that way.

"You look gorgeous." Junhong said and Hayan thanked him. "You know, I haven't felt pretty in such a long time." She said, looking in the mirror. As hard as she tried to not think about Himchan, the only thought in her head was: Would Himchan like it?

"Are you going to get it?" He asked and she smoothed out the fabric. "I am." She said and waltzed into the dressing room.

The bag swung happily from her hand as they entered a cafe. They grabbed their coffees and took a seat. "It's funny, you and Himchan even drink your coffee the same." Junhong stated and she laughed. "I can't help but wonder what happened that made things so awkward this morning." He added and she looked at him before sighing. "He kissed me this morning." She said and his eyes went wide.

Meanwhile, Himchan was sat in his office with his head in his hands. His head was swimming and he had the biggest headache ever. The fact that Youngjae was spitting out new information wasn't helping.

"Boss, are you listening or is everything I'm saying going in one ear and out the other?" Youngjae asked and Himchan groaned. "Just type it out. I'll read it later." Himchan said and Youngjae rolled his eyes while walking away.

"Do you have a hangover or something?" Yongguk asked and Himchan shot him a glare. "No, I just have a bad headache." He lied and Yongguk nodded his head. "Is this headache's name, Hayan?" Yongguk asked, leaning on Himchan's desk. "Yes, but this isn't her fault. It's my own damn fault. I may have taken things too far this morning." Himchan said, mentally cursing himself out. "I don't know what happened and I don't want to know. But if you feel something for her, take it slow. She shouldn't have to get hurt because of all this." Yongguk advised, gesturing

"You're right. The thought of her getting hurt, kills me. I've only known her a few weeks." Himchan said and looked at Yongguk who was laughing. "Damn you are definitely whipped." Yongguk joked and it made them both laugh. "Pathetic,huh?" He asked and Yongguk shook his head. "No, it's kind of nice seeing you happy about something." Yongguk answered, making Himchan smile.

"Get back to work and thanks, Yongguk." Himchan said and Yongguk nodded before leaving . Himchan took out his phone and sent Junhong a text.

HC: How is your guys' day?

He hoped for for a quick response and stared at his phone. He knew she and Junhong got along and it made him happy. Hayan had someone she could connect with on a friendship level.

A message popped up on Himchan's screen causing him to break out in smiles.

JH: Our day is great. hayan bought some nice things: 

Junhong sent a picture he had secretly taken of Hayan twirling in the dress she had bought. Himchan felt as if his day couldn't be messed up anymore. She looked so happy and beautiful, like she didn't have a care in the world. 

Smiling, he put his phone back and continued working. He had elarned a lot of new things regarding Jung-suk in the few hours he was at work. Jung-suk was definitely back and thristy for blood, preferably Himchan's. He knew he had to stop him before he could do serious damage. He just didn't know how.

Hayan and Junhong made it back to the house around five p.m, both physically tired. "I haven't shopped in so long. I am so tired." Hayan said, dropping the shopping bags on the dining room table. "I'm really glad nothing bad happened today and that you had fun." Junhong said, said wrapping his arms around her. "You and me both, but I have to ask you something. That girl in the cafe was really into you. Why didn't you go talk to her?" Hayan asked and Junhong started laughing.

"Yeah, she was pretty." Junhong said and took a seat on the couch. "So why didn't you go talk to her or something?" Hayan questioned further, sitting next to him. "I don't want someone to get hurt just because I find them pretty. It's just not worth the risk." He said and Hayan nodded. "Oh.' She whispered and felt a slight tension fill the room. Silently, she thought of a way to change the subject. 

They sat in silence until Junhong yawned. "Do you know what time Himchan usually gets home?" She questioned and Junhong to himself. "You really like him don't you?" He asked her and he watched a blush creep up up to her cheeks. "I might. But I'm not sure, this all happened so fast." Hayan said, laughing slightly. 

Hearing a door shut loudly, the pair turned their heads. Himchan entered the room, looking extremely exhausted. Without saying a word, Himchan stripped himself of his tie and suit jacket. Hayan and Junhong exchanged looks before speaking up. 

"You alright boss?" Junhong asked and the other male finally looked at them. "It was a stressful day today." Himcahn said and they both nodded in understanding. Himchan walked into the kitchen and came back with a few beers in hand. He passed Junhong and Hayan one, before sitting down. 

Watching Hayan take the beer, he smiled to himself. At least one of them had a good day. "I'm going to have to pass up the beer. I'm going home." Junhong said, placing the bottle on the coffee table. The younger male placed a kiss on Hayan's forehead and placed a comforting hand on the Himchan's shoulder. With a short goodbye, he left his in an awkward silence.
