[w a r n i n g : long chapter ahead
to make up for my absence lol
but the end is worth it (I guess?)]

Several hours had already passed since Taeyong left my room and I was just looking for the right amount of motivation to go to the meeting in question. I didn't have to do much for it; didn't have to go out in the heavy rain, didn't have to drive to the gas station to use the car; all I had to do was walk to the other side of the building, which wouldn't take me ten minutes.

The positive arguments that could possibly change my mind were outweighed by the negative ones:

1. Taeyong would be there
2. Team-Meetings always bored me to death
3. There'd be dozens of strangers around me

On the other hand, I was looking forward to my chill night with Ten and Mark, which would take place immediately afterward. So I might as well grit my teeth and go to the stupid meeting. How bad could it be?

I sighed. I had long changed from my casual outfit from before, which I would wear tomorrow to my office date with Yuta. What's left was black-ripped-jeans-and-silver-pumps-wearing Cami — don't even ask, my good outfit combinations were saved for Yuta so I had few options for my free-time.

Inside the meeting room (to which I finally got up to go) I was really more than astonished to see only two people waiting.

"Is this a joke?" I wanted to know while pointing with outstretched arms at the empty room around me.

"What do you mean you won't come?" Mark asked into his phone on his left ear and held a finger up for me to signal that he was having a phone conversation right now.

I gave Ten who was sitting next to Mark and obviously the only other person in the room, a questioning look before I fully entered the room. Ten just winked at me and greeted me with a nod.

"What do you mean you have better things to do!?" Mark's voice raised and he seemed stressed and angered.

"No, no, no! Absolutely NO!"
