Next morning, to go to work, they took his car.

"So, like, are there some rules we have to follow?" he asked her after a while.
It was nice from him to ask; she knew plenty of people that wouldn't have respected their privacy like that.

"I think it's better if there are." she answered. "Like, we know Koreans and they judge easily things they never did."

"True. So, like, do we talk about the other night with somebody?" he asked her, keeping his eyes on the road.

"Only if they ask, and we don't say our names." she answered. "Plus, nothing have to change between us. We can always greet each other with a little kiss and hug whenever we want."

"Totally agree." he nodded. "Listen," he looked at her seriously. "How do you feel?"

"Uh- Tired, we woke up very early." she answered, sighing.

"No, I mean- Do you feel like something is changed between us?" he asked her.
Nad had to think about it, looking at him with interest and wonder. She couldn't help but staring at the dark hickyes she left on him the past night.
She couldn't feel anything watching them and she couldn't feel anything thinking about yesterday...

"I- I don't... I can't feel anything in particular..." she said, slowly and realizing just then how empty, again, as always, she was feeling. "I mean- now I know that you have super tongue skills?" she said, trying to laugh away the awkwardness and sadness of the moment. "Do you feel any different?"

He looked for a while at the traffic before them; some blocks and they would've been at work.

"Yes." he said carefully. "But I already knew I would've. Not that now I love you or something!" he quickly saved his ass. "But for sure I'm gonna miss yesterday and I'll hope to do that again, and more, sooner or later." he honestly sighed, making Nad blush. "Truth is, I was mostly hoping that you felt something new yesterday..." he added, underlining 'something'.

Nad's heart skipped a beat; that was so caring and lovely from him...

"Don't mind my numbness, Sammy." she told him, caressing him again on the cheek, straining his brown hair. He tried not to look at her. "It can't be like that forever."
They were entering the parking spot of JYPE building.

They parked on the lowest section of the underground garage, and they ran to take the elevator, holding their hands to run faster.
They talked about their breakfasts and Nad remembered the shakes for Got7 and Kimpi, so she started collecting her meals coupons.

"Do you have any spare time to help me with the shakes?" she asked him; they were already in the cafeteria and she already ordered for everybody.

"Ne, I'm around fifteen minutes earlier."

Chim, the cafeteria guy, handed them two iced choco, for Yugyeom and Youngjae.
An iced coffee, for Mark.
A strawberry milk, for Jaebum.
A mint latte, for Jinyoung.
Two vanilla-iced-coco-latte, one for Bambam and one for Kimpi.
Then they went upstairs to buy the avocado shake from the organic restaurant, for Jackson.

It took them some time.
When they went back at the seventh floor, everybody was already in it.
Kimpi was the first seeing them, and she held the door open for them.

"Annyeong!" they greeted, bowing and slightly smiling.
They greeted back, all smiled and walked towards the new entries who were holding their shakes on two plates.

"What are those?!" Jaebum immediately asked, with horror on his face. Did Nad just treated them shakes?

"Yes! What are those?" Jackson repeated, playfully.
