It was sunrise and someone already knocked the door of her 15 square meter dorm. Banging for about five minutes already, Mei awakened from her dreamland.

The brunette female prefers small spaces ironically fit for her tall proportioned body. She went up and yawned ignoring her messy bed hair and pajamas.

Before checking out, she cleared her vision to peek on the tiny peephole only to see Lee Hyun on his gray sweaters, his arms crossed and his left foot tapping impatiently.

She opened the door and was instantly met with a glare from the other. "You're the one who told me to get up at 6. What the hell?"

"It is 6, Sunbae."

"It's 7:10, Mei."

"Oh." The latter froze realizing that she overslept all along. "Sorry. I was busy with my playlist last night I forgot to fall asleep. Wait for me, imma change my clothes quick." She locked the door and did as she said while Lee Hyun had nothing else to do but sigh.

Soon, she got out of the dorm with her usual casual clothes and her slightly wavy hair combed perfectly touching her shoulders. "Let's go?"

They went down from the second floor being met by old men and women sweeping the floor. "Is it just me or this place is filled with senior citizens?"

Mei chuckled earning a grin. "All of them are considered a caretaker of this place. They're trained in martial arts. Bang PD nim hired them for me and asked for a favour incase I got massacered."

"Woah." Lee Hyun's mouth opened looking at an old woman in her mid 70s, her back bent, and was met with a smile which made the taller gulp.

He bowed down to everyone making them stop from sweeping the floor. "S-sorry for the intrusion. Please don't kick me."

The elder ones simply looked at each other chuckling with Mei who seems to be enjoying her sunbae's behavior.

"Appa, Eomma, we'll be out for an hour. If I didn't return at 10, I'm just around the agency."

"Be safe, kid." The younger two bowed down before they opened the gate and walked through a certain destination.

Stop lights, pedestrian lanes and sidewalk stores everywhere. It was 8 am when they decided to head in an avenue of people. A perfect time for a coffee under the sunny day just somewhere around Seoul.

Lee Hyun was still with Mei in-company. He was wearing a black face mask and a cap that matches his sweaters, although it's no longer necessary for him to be in disguise.

While both were taking the walk slowly, the older decided to put down his mask, eager to tell a story which Mei isn't clearly fond of. Her sunbae was suddenly busy talking sweet things about his lovelife while Mei simply nodded and nodded getting bored by mid 30s stories from Lee Hyun who seemed to be very experienced.

"So, where are we going?"

"Let's grab some coffee shall we?"

They went straight to a signatured coffee shop and witnessed women dressed fashionably as if they were on a date with someone. Lee Hyun wouldn't probably dare to speak to his hoobae about fashion sense. She's not really fond of dresses nor short skirts atleast for now. Mei loves flannels, black boots and skinny jeans. It makes her feel like... Herself.
