"What the hell Jinyoung? I thought the whole idea of meeting up with Mark was to put him behind you? Not bring him back into your life!" Jaebum says staring at Jinyoung intently. Jinyoung was at Jaebum's apartment after leaving Mark's Café. He needed someone to talk after his conversation with Mark and that person was no other than his best friend.

"I know," Jinyoung squirms in his seat under the intense stare his best friend was giving him. "I really did put all my anger behind me. But maybe this is a sign. He came back into my life four years later. Maybe the universe is telling me we are meant to be friends instead of lovers. Besides being friends isn't that bad."

"It's bad when I know you still have feelings for him." Jaebum jabs back pointing a finger at him accusingly. "Don't think I don't know why you haven't dated anyone in the last four years. I'm your best friend. I know you better than you know yourself."

As much as Jinyoung hates Jaebum for knowing him so well (and he can say the same for Jaebum) the guy was right. His stupid heart with feelings was telling him to love Mark.

"I know, but I'm going to get rid of all my feelings. I really just want to be his friend. Nothing else I swear."

Sighing Jaebum knew there was no stopping Jinyoung. But he also knew that getting rid of one's feelings isn't that simple and easy like Jinyoung made it sound. He just hopes the younger would follow his own words. He doesn't think Jinyoung's heart could take another heartbreak and this time to the point of no repair. Jinyoung's heart was already so wounded and fragile. It took four years for his heart to heal into a decent state.

"Fine," Jaebum grunts, "but if you're going to be friends with Mark again count me in too. I want to see how's he has been."

Hearing his friend giving in and wanting to reconnect with Mark once more puts a smile on Jinyoung's face. Leaning forward in his seat, "Did you know Mark opened his own cafe here in Seoul?"

Two weeks had passed since Jinyoung last stepped inside Mark's cafe. This was their first meet up with a whole new purpose of being friends. Tugging on the sleeve of his cardigan Jinyoung was nervous and excited at the same time.

"For crying out loud Jinyoung there's nothing to be nervous about. Just be your boring self." Jaebum advises standing beside him dressed in a pair of black jeans and designer t-shirt with a moto jacket over it. Rolling at Jaebum's failed attempt at being funny Jinyoung was actually glad his best friend came along with him. Mark was more than happy to hear Jaebum was coming to see him when Jinyoung told him through text messages. Yes, they exchanged phone numbers the last time they saw each other.

"For your information, I'm not boring ." Jinyoung barks back earning himself a grin from Jaebum.

"Glad to know your highness. Now let's go, I want to check out this place." Without waiting for him Jaebum heads towards the door leaving Jinyoung to follow behind him. Glancing at his wristwatch they were a few minutes before the actual time. They agreed to meet up with Mark around seven in the evening. Mark's cafe closes at that time which would allow Mark to meet up with Jaebum and him for dinner. Following Jaebum inside the cafe, he sees the worker cleaning up for the day.

"Sorry, the cafe is closed for the day." The tall man Jinyoung recognized from the first time he came to the cafe says. If he remembers correctly the tall male name was Yugyeom.

It seems like he recognized Jinyoung as he lets out an, "Ah, it's you. Let me fetch my boss." Placing down the dry cloth he was using to wipe the glass cups he once again walks through the double door. "Boss!" Jinyoung and Jaebum both hear the male shouts. Since business was closed and the heavy coffee machine has stopped whirring for the day the cafe was quiet. So it wasn't hard to hear Yugyeom behind the double door especially since he was yelling. "The guy you're seeing is back!" Jinyoung can feel himself going crimson as a few of Mark's employees glances his way. He was not seeing Mark Tuan in that way.
