Things were falling back again in to place... I do see Brix often when he comes with Younhui for check-ups it still hurts to see them together but I've got to learn to let go...

Just like today his eyes and mine met again when he entered the entrance and as I took a walk to the ER...

"Sunbae your cup of coffee..." Donghyun handed me a cup of coffee...

"Gomawo" (thank you)

"Ahhh... Sunbae you didn't forget right? Mrs. Rodirguez will be released today"

"I do remember..."

"Speaking of... Ah sunbae I'll go ahead..."

"Okay..."

"Xia!!"

"Josh!! You came to see your mother?"

"Yeah... Well I was going to pay for the bills and take her home today..."

"So, you got a home here?"

"Well sort of, it's actually just a unit like yours, just temporarily until I finish constructing the villa..."

"I see..."

"Well, umm can you come with us for dinner later, we'll be with my mom anyway..."

"Oh, sure! If nothing came up here in the hospital, why not??"

"Great! Umm... pick you up later??"

"Pick me up? We're just gonna walk anyway, you don't have a license..."

"Ah no! wait..." he scribbled something from his wallet

"Got my International Driver's license just today!!" he waved at me...

"Ooooh!!! Hahaha!! So, you got yourself a car too??"

"Yes!"

"Fine... hahaha!!"

"Well, Xia I've got to deal with the bills first... see you later?"

"Yeah sure"

Well we're not dating, but we became close as friends again... I'm really not ready for a relationship after Brix...

Afternoon came and I cleared out my schedule, I decided to go home with Snow... Yes! I'm going to go sleep, take a bath, and eat here regularly again...

I remembered I have somewhere to go to today...

My phone rang...

"Josh!"

"Xia I'm on the lobby of your building..."

"Really? Okay I'm coming out..."

"Okay..."

I hurriedly went down

"Xia...here!" I found him sitting on the lounge

"You look pretty"

"Ummm this is how I usually dress Josh"

"Well, is it because I always saw you with a doctor's coat? Hahaha!!"

"Errrrr!!"

"Hahaha!! Don't make that face... Let's go now Xia?"

"Sure..."

"Okay I'll go pick up the car, wait for me in front..."

"Okay..."

After a moment...

"Xia!"

As soon as I went out, I saw Brix entering the building... Our eyes met... I entered the car but I still looked at him and so did he... Even when our car was leaving I saw him from the rearview still looking towards us...
