(' ∀ ' *)💭💭---- You, Min ho and I.N were elementary childhood friends. A sudden accident steers you away from your friends, and guilt pulls you away from any relationships you have. With nothing left to rely on, you develop a hard shelled and rut...

It's D-Day.
I push back the sheets and shove my brown rimmed glasses on. I sit on the bed for a while, wondering on what I should start doing. Today, I want to avoid Minho at all costs.
When I interviewed at t4U, I knew Minho was one of the higher ups. But I didn't imagine that I would actually have to meet him! And even if I had to, he lost his memory after... that incident, so he probably won't remember me...
I still blame myself for his memory loss, the shock of Jeongin's death was too hard on him and he must have lost himself. He moved to Canada, and I don't blame him. If I were him, I would want to stay as far away from me as possible. I still don't know how and when he lost his memory because he left Korea before I could even ask.
It plagues my mind with thousands of thoughts. I rub my temples, contemplating my next decisions.
I get up, and throw on a long light washed denim skirt with a beige knit sweater. I put on some white converses, and head outside.

Deep in her mind, y/n knew the real reason she wanted to avoid Minho. She did fear recognition, but the thought of seeing her childhood friend overwhelmed her already. Y/N didn't know if she would break-down, lose her mind, or stay calm if she saw him. She was afraid.

I cringe and shoot a sarcastic smile as a girl who introduced herself as 'Soo-jin' bats her eyes at me. I was informed that a professional group of people from the marketing team would come pick me up from the airport, not... this girl who looked like she had a handful of dust in her eyes.

(Minho in this chapter is wearing a black denim jacket, and white straight legged cargo jeans.)
I deeply sigh and roll my eyes internally. Entering the car waiting next to the side walk, I notice a young man in the drivers seat, clearing his throat and glancing at his phone occasionally.
"Hey." I say to him. He turns around at the speed of light and shoves his phone in his pocket.
"y-yes? Is there anything uncomfortable or anything you need? W-Water perhaps? or-?" I tap the floor and nod my head towards the road.
"When are we actually going?" I look outside to see the other two girls arguing outside.
"Oh- sorry about that, they were anxious like this ever since they heard you were coming." I raise an eyebrow, in a questioning expression.
"NOT THAT WE DOn't like you!..?" I lightly laugh.
"Relax, I won't fire you with a small mistake, even if I wanted to, I probably don't even have the power to do that to any of you." His shoulders relax, and his breathing becomes more stable. It wasn't true, I could do even more than that to them.
"What's your name?" I ask over the commotion outside.
"O-oh it's Kim Seungmin. But you can just call me Seungmin." I nod my head in understanding, and open the window of the car. Their noisy brawl just got louder.
"STOP ACTING LIKE A SLY FOX AROUND EVERY DUDE YOU SEE!"
"YOU NEED A LOT OF HELP IF YOU THINK IM SLY! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU'RE TALKING TO?!"
"DO YOU NOT SEE YOURSELF BATTING YOUR EYES LIKE A MANIAC? WHAT A STUCK-UP LITTLE-"
I wave at the girls, and tap at my watch.
"Are we not going?"
Both of the girls roll their eyes and request 2 more minutes to finish their 'debate'. I pretend to be fine, but my impatience is starting to see the light of the world. I continue to scratch at a scar on my elbow in boredom. After a while, Seung-min starts the engine, and the girls get in. Their argument apparently was in need of continuation in the car as well. Putting in some earbuds, I close my eyes and lean back. This was going to be a long car ride.

I get up from my desk after being informed of Minho's pick-up. I organize some papers from the pile of things to address in the meeting.
"Y/N! Can you go and buy some drinks for the meeting today?" Jisung yells at me while playing a game on his phone. I look straight at Jisung with a cold stare.
"Why don't you?" I speak monotonously as Jisung laughs nervously.
"Sure! Totally! I'll be right there and back! Quickly! Bye!" I watch as Jisung scrambles out the door. I jump when the phone rings during the silence, and I stop to look at it. That's unusual, we never receive calls from this phone at this time. I look at the other offices, noticing their busy behavior as well. I pick up the phone.
"Hello, this the marketing office of t4U. How can I help you?"
"Hello, i'm calling to make confirmation that Lee Minho is coming to the headquarters today and arrived at Korea?"
"Yes, but who are you-?"
"Oh, a news reporter from TBC."
"What-" I stop in my tracks. If they found out Minho's arrival already, then theres a huge chance that even more people know of this. And since Minho hasn't been seen on camera since, 4th grade, (?) there would be tons of reporters trying to get the first shot.
I can already imagine the mob of cameras at the lobby. I quickly dial the security team, and inform them of a possible mob. I retreat from the phone, about to run downstairs, when I run into Jisung with a handful of drinks. He sets down the bags on the nearest counter and leans on the wall to take a quick breather.
Panting, he points back outside.
"He's here."
This chapter is pretty short, but I wanted to end it dramatically hehe. Thanks for reading, again! Spoiler, Minho and y/n will FINALLY meet each other ;)
