Renjun took up driving Hyunsoo to work every morning, he suggested that they go for different timings everyday so that even if Wontaek tried tracking her he wouldn't know, there were yet five days till Wontaek's deal and so they moved cautiously. Renjun dropped and picked Hyunsoo as his workplace was usually his room and he didn't have to go elsewhere as much.

He went to the agency to submit the recent portrait and heard the notification from his phone on the way home knowing his payment was credited to his account.

It was a different feeling, having to live with another individual in your house, a new experience for Renjun. He roamed around the house, searching for things to do that could kill time up until Hyunsoo was to be brought back home.

Hyunsoo was looking through the files of different diets she had to undertake during the run, at last she found one that wasn't all to restricting and at most, durable.

"Sure, Ma'am?" Christopher asked and Hyunsoo smiled, nodding her head small as she got ready for her next shoot. This went on everyday, Hyunsoo hadn't heard from Wontaek at all, not the first day, not the second, not the third, everyday was something she wasn't expecting.

Some days she would cook their meals, keeping in mind the diet control, some days it would be Renjun. What she primarily noticed was the fact that though they lived together now, they barely got any time to spend together. Renjun was always busy with some portrait, and Hyunsoo was always out for shooting. The only time the two really got to spend together during the working days were when they had lunch and dinner on the same table, or when Renjun dropped her back and forth to the agency.

On the sixth day of Hyunsoo moving to his apartment, he noticed a navy blue car outside Hyunsoo's agency, one that he hadn't noticed before. It was another morning when Renjun was to drop her off at the building but he stopped her that day.

"Wait," Renjun said, mindlessly tugging on the girl's sleeve and she turned to look at him.

"Do you recognize that car?" Renjun asked her and Hyunsoo looked towards it, her world stopped moving for a second when she could see his eyes, carefully looking towards the building to know if she was even there or not.

"That's Wontaek isn't he?" Renjun asked looking straight apath the much larger and slightly bulked up man.

"There's a way to the back of the building," Hyunsoo told Renjun making his assumption just right, he reversed the car just enough so that Wontaek couldn't notice and succeeded to turn the the other side of the building.

"Call me a good 30 minutes before you leave okay?" Renjun said, his voice deep yet gentle and the girl only agreed before bidding him goodbye. Renjun moved to the front of the building to leave for his house but took his time to look at the man, he revised the car's number plate in his head and quickly took a pic of the man's face without getting caught. Soon enough Renjun was out of there.

Hyunsoo kept herself aware of her surroundings at all times, not wanting to run into Wontaek at all as she posed for multiple photographs and had to change into a series of clothing.

The day went by once again, Renjun came as promised and they escaped without getting caught. Hyunsoo let out a sigh of relief and Renjun turned to look at her as he drove.

"Don't think too much of him okay, he wouldn't be coming tomorrow," Renjun said, he sounded too sure of his words making Hyunsoo look at him surprised.

"How can you tell?" Hyunsoo asked and Renjun smiled.

"He just won't."

It was once again quiet when they reached home, Renjun was back at working hard for his portraits while Hyunsoo was simply walking around the house, there were one too many things to look at and Hyunsoo took her time with it. She sipped on a full glass of wine as she walked around his souvenirs, each of them lacking colors and vibrancy yet they looked marvellous to her.

It all went by till Hyunsoo noticed his wallet placed on the high table. Hyunsoo looked towards his bedroom door making sure he wasn't out yet before looking at the clock, it was 8:55, Renjun normally came out to have dinner with Hyunsoo at 9 so she knew she had a few minutes to spare. She quietly opened the wallet with her fingers and looked through it for his ID card, anything that had his information in it.

She finally found one that had a picture of him on the right hand corner and looked through the details only for one specific detail- his birthday.

The little mischevious smile Hyunsoo had on her face wore off instantly when she noticed that his birthday was over already, she heard the door unlocking behind her and quickly closed the wallet keeping it the way it was before and moved away from the souvenirs while acting natural.

"Ah, I'm hungry," Renjun cried with his eyebrows frowning and Hyunsoo tried hiding the fluster and red around her cheeks from the fright of being caught.

"The meal needs to be heated so give it a few minutes," Hyunsoo said and took it as an excuse to rush to the kitchen. She quietly brought out all the side dishes and placed them in the dining table for two, smiling as she sat in front of him. The two ate quietly and for the first time Hyunsoo was happy that it was quiet, she was afraid she would blurt out anything out of the ordinary.

"Hyunsoo?" Renjun called and she looked up at him.

"Are you okay? You haven't eaten," Renjun points out and Hyunsoo only gets more flustered.

"And umm," Renjun starts, making the girl look at him once again.

"You could've just asked me if you wanted to know my birthday, you don't need to hunt it down like you did, this house has a few little cameras in here," Renjun said with a small chuckle as he drank some soup and Hyunsoo felt all the blood rush to her cheek.

"Well since you know when my birthday is anyway, when is yours?"
