Joy POV

Pull yourself together Sooyoung, you're not a girl anymore. If he's moved on then so can you. I wipe the tear away from my eyes and sit up straighter in the car. We pull into a space behind a very familiar restaurant and suddenly the memories come flooding back. This was the place we used to come to get away from it all during our stint on 'We Got Married'. Sungjae's parents were close friends with the owners and so they were more than happy to keep our visits a secret.

Sungjae turns the car off and undoes his seat belt. He goes to grab the door handle but I quickly catch his arm. "Remember, there may be photographers about so when we get out of this car, we're a couple." I pause before looking him dead in the eye. "No matter how much you may hate it." My boldness shocks Sungjae and I get out of the car leaving him flustered in his seat.

I enter the restaurant with him trailing behind and see that the place is relatively empty. An older couple sits in one corner and a group of middle aged men have the table along the wall. I don't think any of them will recognise us as they aren't exactly our target audience. I hear Sungjae enter the door swiftly behind me and he grabs my hand to interlock our fingers. Can this guy make up his mind please, one minute he's giving me the cold shoulder and the next he's showing me affection. However, I'm not going to deny the fact that it felt right after all this time.

He walks forward dragging me behind him still in shock. I feel both of us are taking it in turns to take control of the situation. "Sungjae! What do I owe this pleasure of seeing you two times in a week." He must obviously still come here. "And who have you brought with you this time?" Sungjae pulls my arm and I emerge from behind his back to stand in front of the woman. Her face lights up instantly as she takes me into her arms for a sincere hug. She then turns to Sungjae. "I know you promised to bring her back but I didn't think the day would ever come." Sungjae clears his throat and I can tell he's embarrassed. So this means he still talks about me?

"We'd like a table near the window this time." Sungjae speaking snaps me back to reality.

"Don't you want your usual table?"

"Sooyoung and I want to watch the world go by for just a bit" Hearing him say my name again makes shivers run down my spine.

"Ooh, how romantic!" Mrs Kim grabs two menus and takes us to a table that looks out onto the street.

"We won't need the menu, we'll have two green teas and a slice of your chocolate cake please." He still remembers what our order used to be? But it's been nearly three years? We never used to have time for a full meal and so tea and cake it was. Maybe he cares more than he's letting on?

We sit down at the window seat and now the awkwardness sets in. I begin to play with the button on my shirt as Sungjae gets his phone out. Without looking up he says "I chose the window seat so it's easier for them to get a picture of us."

"Oh yeah, good thinking." To be honest, I'd totally forgotten that we had to play up to the cameras, I was too busy trying to work out what was going on in Sungjae's mind.

He puts his phone down on the table and looks at me, to avoid eye contact I quickly get my phone out instead.

Sungjae POV

Why'd she have to look so good just sitting there? I hadn't taken the time to look at her properly in a while and now I have, I'm in shock. She really is a beauty, a beauty that got away. I shouldn't have brought her here, I thought I could control my emotions but I don't think I can.

Thankfully the tea and cake arrive so I shift my focus onto something else. I look down at the plate where a single fork lies next to the cake. My mind instantly goes to the contract and without thinking I grab the fork, stab a piece of cake and offer it to Sooyoung. Almost immediately, she places the piece of cake in her mouth but before chewing she opens her eyes wide in shock at what she has just done. I start to laugh and surprisingly she begins to laugh with me. It's the sound I've missed more than anything and it's like music to my ears.

After the laughter stops, we become awkward again. We'd have a sip of our tea, then we'd each take it in turns to eat a piece of cake. After a while, I see Joy cautiously reach across the table and wipe something off the corner of my mouth. The moment her finger touches my skin, heat travels through my body and I'm sure she notices. "Sorry, it's just been there for ages and it was starting to annoy me."

"No problem, I'm sure it made a good picture." To stop my mind from drifting to places I don't want it to, I focus on the task in hand. The problem is, with Joy sitting in front of me it's becoming increasingly harder. Could I possibly forgive her after everything she's done?

"We should be getting back, don't you think?" I hadn't realised but time had flown by and now it was completely dark outside.

"Uh yeah, let me just go an pay." I fumble around in my coat jacket for my wallet.

"You don't have to do that, we can go halves if you want." She goes to grab her purse.

"What kind of boyfriend would I be if I let you pay." Real smooth Sungjae.

Joy POV

The drive to my dorm is silent. I think both of us are confused by the fact that it wasn't as bad as we thought it would be. However, what I'm not happy with is how Sungjae seems to be the one taking control of the situation all the time. Instead, I want to be the one in control.

We arrive home and Sungjae practically runs to open my door which annoys me even more. Why does he have to keep doing this? We walk to the entrance and turn to each other. I'm taking control this time. I put my arms around his neck and feel Sungjae stiffen in my grip. I turn my head towards his ear and whisper "If there is a camera around, this is the picture they'll want." Without listening for a reply, I turn to go through the door.

"Sooyoung-ah, wait."

"What?" I've got to him, I know I have.

"I've missed you." I'm not letting him do it this time.

Without thinking, I walk up to him and press my lips to his. For a moment all thoughts leave my body and I'm transported back three years ago to our first and only kiss. His lips haven't changed one bit.

I get a hold of my thoughts and pull myself away from him. I turn to go into my building leaving Sungjae stood with his eyes still firmly shut.

One point to me.
