          for the hundredth time the restaurant's door burst open and finally hyerin shin walk in. her once short pink cotton candy hair now dyed in silver, still wearing the deadpan expression she always had.

donghyuck just watch as she scan the whole room, eyes flickering to met his, making him let out a small grin in recognition in to where hyerin just nodded to.

"hey." she simply greeted, taking the seat across him as he simply nodded as a response, hand extending to retrieve the menu as hyerin did the same.

silence surround the two, they only spoke when they gave out their order then another wave of silence. donghyuck can't take the quietness, in the same time he doesn't even know how to strike a conversation. something unlikely for the donghyuck lee.

"how are you guys?" hyerin decided to break the ice. she hated it, how silent donghyuck is where in fact it is something outside his nature. donghyuck is a natural talker, a noisy yet fun one to be with. he's easy to get along with, yet with a single mistake, that donghyuck wouldn't show up infront of her ever again.

"just fine." the tan male simply responded then followed by another silence.

donghyuck sighed, there's no point wasting time just sitting there, might as well make use of the time.

"ikaw, musta na?" hyerin let out a small sigh with a satisfied smile plastered on her face, "just fine, never been better."

"that's nice." donghyuck humm, "you sound pretty contented."

"I'am." the silver head smiled,

"I'll take it na kayo pa din?" donghyuck commented, a small hint of bitterness hiding beneath his voice, "must be nice huh." he added.

hyerin let out a small smile. her eyes glistening as she do so, the hint of guilt, pain and sadness swarming in her orbs.

"we actually broke up." she chuckle, "but everything's gucci, I'm happier now."

"must be nice if that applies to everyone no?" donghyuck was obviously hinting about something and hyerin perfectly know what it's all about. it's all about a certain football player, who's also a model with a charming crescent eyes.

"I'll take that jeno isn't in a good position at the moment..." she mumble but donghyuck heard it clearly. then Izumi's message echoed inside his head, as if his friend actually said it.

'once you'll meet don't let it affect you, labas na tayo don' kahit papaano.'
