Hello Stranger (ChanChang)

Chan

*Chans POV
The weekend. Two days of not having to work. For some people.

In my case. I still got to work. I just hope I can get off early today.

But what was the point? I wouldn't see Changbin. He didn't have school nor any business around town.

I sigh and lean back in my chair. I wanted to get through this day.

"Chan?" I look up to see the receptionist along with another person I haven't seen before.

I smile at them. "Yes?"

They enter the studio and the receptionist starts to speak.

"This is Lee Minho. He says he had an appointment with you?" She says.

Lee Minho? Why did that name sound familiar?

I look behind her and see the male.

He was probably the same height as me. Maybe like an inch shorter. Brown hair that parted. Eyes that were cat like and lips that were pretty.

He really does seem familiar. But where have I seen him?

"Thank you Linda. I'll take it from here." I say and she nods and makes her leave.

I motion to the couch so he could sit. He thanks me and carefully sits down.

"So remind me about this appointment." I say as I look through my papers.

I couldn't remember why I set this up.

"Ah, I saw a help wanted ad. It was to be your assistant." He spoke. His voice was very pretty.

I gave up searching for the paper. I turn back to him and roll my chair towards him.

"Ah right! Yeah, as you can see, I'm very unorganized. So an assistant will be very helpful to me." I say with a chuckle.

He smiles and nods.

"I'm sorry. But what high school did you go to? You seem very familiar." I ask. I couldn't shake off the feeling that I knew him.

He seemed surprised by my sudden question.

"Um, Greenfield High." He answers.

Lee Minho! That's why his name sounded familiar. He was the popular pretty boy back in high school. He was practically known for his looks and dancing.

He happened to be my first friend when I transferred from Australia. He was always kind to me. We were inseparable.

But after graduation, we lost contact. I thought I would never see him again.

"So, popular pretty boy wants to work along side me?" I say.

His eyes widen by my words.

"Chan hyung?" He asks unsure. I smile and laugh at him.

"Yaaa! That's why you're name sounded so familiar!" He exclaims pointing at me, mouth a gap.

I laugh and stand up, him following as well. We gave each other a quick hug.

"So how have you been! What's up with you?" I ask as we sit back down.

He rubs his face.

"After high school, I went to university, but I dropped out after my second year. So I have been living between jobs. I have a stable one at the moment but it's getting too hectic." He answers.

I nod. "Well, I'm glad you applied. Mostly because you're the only who applied."

He laughs and shakes his head. "I guess because no one wants to work at JYPE."

I nod and laugh as well. I extend my hand out.

He grabs it and we shake.

"Congratulations Lee Minho. You got the job."

He thanks me and bows.

"I can finally quit the cafe." He says as he pulls out his phone.

"You can start tomorrow. Be here at 9 am." I say.

He nods and then his phone rings.

"Hello?" He answers. I can hear slight shouting through the phone.

"Jisung! It's only 1:30, you have an hour left to get ready!" Minho exclaims.

Jisung? That boy from yesterday knew Minho?

"Well tell Changbin to pick you up. I'm already in town." Minho spoke.

Changbin?! Minho knew him?!

"I'm not going back for you. Just tell Changbin and I'll meet you guys at the ice cream shop. Goodbye Jisung." He hangs up and looks at me.

"I'm sorry about that." He apologizes. I shake my head.

"It's okay. You have plans?" I ask.

He nods. "I'm meeting with two of my friends."

I nod.

"They happen to know you." He spoke.

Of course they told Minho. They are friends after all.

"Aha yes. Jisung called me handsome and Changbin apologized for his behavior."

"Hmm Jisung didn't mention that. I'll deal with that later." I hear him mumble.

"So you're meeting with them?" I ask.

He nods and leans back in the couch. It felt like we haven't lost connection. As if we hadn't seen each other the past 2 years.

"Yeah. Jisung says that Changbin made the plan in hopes to see you." I can hear a smirk.

Changbin made plans just to see me?!

"You should join us." He says and stands up about to take his leave.

I shake my head. "Wish I could. But I have a client coming in and won't get off till 6."

He hums. "Well before I leave. Here."

He hands me his phone. I put in my number and hand it back.

He smiles and takes a quick photo of me.

"Hyunjin will never believe it." He says.

"Well! If you get off early, we'll be at the ice cream shop on third."

I nod and he bids farewell.

What a small world.
