The next day as the afternoon rush clears out, Yoomi and Jin quickly prepare for Woohyun's 'Special Event'.

Carrying a box of supplies from the storage room to the kitchen, Yoomi stopped midway when something caught her attention.

"Yah, Sungyeol.." Yoomi quietly called Sungyeol over while he came back with the customers' orders. "Over there, who's Wo-- Mr. Nam talking to?" Yoomi asked, spotting a strange woman walking out the restaurant with Woohyun
"Aye? Stalking on your crush?" He teased
"Yah!" She faked a scowl and pouted her bottom lip
He giggled. "I'm kidding.. Maybe a new employee.?" He said
"Maybe.." Yoomi muttered to herself
"Noona.. Just a thought but.. are you sure he's not going out of his way to make you do things for him?" Sungyeol asked
"What? A-ani.. He wouldn't do that.." She said
"Yah, Sungyeol! You brat!" Mi Cha shouted sternly, a bit angrily, from a far
Sungyeol gasped and hid behind Yoomi, using her as shield. "Noona, don't move" He said
"Aye.. What did you do now?" Yoomi said, referring back to all the pranks he had done
"It wasn't me, she started it" He said, peeking over her shoulders
"T-that was like years ago" She said
"Yeah, but I stopped. And now she followed me here so.. she started it!" Sungyeol complained
"Uhm.. Sungyeol-ah, you only been working here for 2 months.." Yoomi said
"So? I only work here because.. I.. I knocked over Woohyun's motorcycle" Sungyeol said hesitantly
"Yah, Sungyeol!" Mi Cha came around the corner and pointed her finger at him
"Omo! Sorry, noona.. Talk to you next time" Sungyeol said and quickly dash away
"Come back here!" Mi Cha angrily chased after him
Yoomi quickly dodge out of the way so she wouldn't get run over.
She let out a heave of breath and went back into the kitchen.

As evening came Yoomi and Jin have finish preparing the dishes.
The dining room was well decorated in an elegantly way: the dimmed lights, the soothing music, and tables tables filled with food and drinks.

Yoomi took a moment in the restroom to fix her hair and straighten out her clothes as she thought the 'surprise dinner' was for her.
Just then, a thought came to mind. ".. How can it be me when I'm all dressed like this..?" She asked herself in the mirror as she sees herself in a pastry chef uniform. She sighed and shrugged it off before exiting.

As she walks out of the restroom and out the hall, she froze.
The mysterious woman that Woohyun had escorted her out the door earlier was now standing in front of her.

Yoomi curiously walk forward to the rest of the workers as she kept full attention on her.

"Everyone, this is Jiwon, my girlfriend" Woohyun announced
"Annyeonghaseyo, I'm Kim Jiwon, it's nice to meet you" She introduced herself and bowed politely
Yoomi couldn't believe her ears. For a moment she stared blankly, speechlessly, at them as she felt a pang in her chest, then turn around and quickly walked away.
Jin caught sight of her at the corner of his eyes and budged.

Woohyun caught a glimpse sight of her before she disappears out the door and up the stairs.
"Jiwon-ah, I'll be right back" He said
"Alright" Jiwon smiled as she was surrounded by the workers

-At the Rooftop-

*creak* The door squealed as it opens.
"Ahem.." Woohyun let out a little cough. "Hey"
"Hey" Yoomi said shortly, under her breath, as she faced the front gazing out into the city lights.

Standing in complete silence the two stood side by side.
"Your.." Yoomi began, but got interrupted.
"Did I surprised you?" Woohyun asked out of the blue
"What?" Yoomi turned her head to take a look at him.
Woohyun quietly turn and face her. "Was it too sudden?" He asked staring straight at her with his stern eyes.
Her heart stopped; then, shivers runs down through her body. "He knows" She thought and a pang strikes her.
"I.." She began
"Aniyo.. I already know everything" He said
"Y..you've .. known..?" She hesitated
Woohyun looked down at his feet while he rocked back and forth on his heels and toes as his hands were dug inside his pocket. "If I didn't, I would've figured out from your actions anyway" He simply said glancing up at her
"A-ah~.. Is that so?" Yoomi muttered sheepishly
"I have no interest.. in dating my own employees" Woohyun said
Yoomi gawked, speechlessly.
Just then, sound of footsteps echoed in a distance. "Woohyun?" Jiwon called. "Oh?" She stopped at the door and stared at them
"Gomawo. For the cakes, they're delicious" He whispered to her and pulled a kind smile to lighten up the mood before he walks over to Jiwon
"Hm? Who is she? Is there something you're not telling me?" Jiwon asked on the way out the door
"Aniya, she's one of my employee" Woohyun said. As though they were out of sight, the conversation could be heard before it was muted into silence. Yoomi heard.

In complete speechless, her hand shook as she touches the rail and squatted down slowly.
"How could I be so stupid..?" She asked herself with a weak voice
『 "Noona.. Just a thought but.. are you sure he's not going out of his way to make you do things for him?"』
Yoomi stared blankly in deep thoughts as she remembered, earlier in the day, Sungyeol had asked her which turns out to be true.
She slowly raise her hand and placed it over her heart. Even though her heart felt as if it were being stabbed a hundred times, not a tear escaped from her eyes.
Strange and confused, she thought.

Is he not the one?
