(UNEDITED)
The next day, was just another meeting to finally close off the deal. Yeonjun was feeling extremely better and excited that once they arrive back in Korea they will be able to visit his mother. He hasn't had time to go visit her since he was extremely busy with his work.

"Are you feeling better?" the assistant that Yeonjun finally found out his name was Chan said. Yeonjun nodded, "I'm sorry for all the mess I caused, I hope I didn't leave you with a lot of burdens yesterday," Yeonjun says.

Chan shakes his head, "no burdens at all".

Soobin walks up to the two boys, "Chan can you please hand out the flyers before we get started with the meeting?" Soobin asks. Chan nods his head and walks away to collect the flyers, "Did you take the pills this morning?" Soobin asks raising an eyebrow.

"Of course I did, you literally shoved it down my throat"

"Yes sir," Yeonjun says smiling.

"I need you to do me a favor, can you please get me a dark black coffee?" Soobin says handing Yeonjun some cash. Yeonjun takes the money, "Yes sir, I will be right back in a moment" Yeonjun says walking away.

Yeonjun was lucky enough to find a coffee store nearby, he ordered Soobin's coffee and ordered himself an iced coffee. He paid and left the cafe heading back to the company, he didn't understand why Soobin liked such strong and bitter coffee. It tasted horrible.

He finally came back and headed towards the meeting room, he noticed that the meeting still hasn't started which was perfectly fine with him even though it would be better if it already started for him to skip some part of it. "Here is your coffee," Yeonjun says giving Soobin his bitter coffee. Soobin thanks him and takes a sip.

Yeonjun cringes just by seeing how someone can drink such a tasteless coffee. He sits down in his chair and takes a sip of his coffee that he asked for a lot of sugar and cream. Much more better.

After a few long minutes, the meeting finally started with Soobin giving a presentation about some upgraded things and benefits. Chan was translating what Soobin was saying to the CEOs that didn't understand Korean.

Yeonjun found it pleasing and interesting how Chan was capable of learning both languages. He can't even say "how are you?" in English. He never even seem to have time to practice for stuff that seems will be useful in the future. It would be beneficial to study at least some English.

After some more conversations that Yeonjun didn't understand at all, the meeting was finally over. Yeonjun assumes that they closed a deal with Thailand and some Australian CEOs because they were handing each other documents and shaking hands.

Yeonjun was greeted by some other assistants and CEOs and congratulating him for the hard work. Even though the only thing he did was review and hand out some stuff. He just smiles and shook their hands, just to be respectful since they were in a much higher position than him.

"Come on let's go," Soobin says walking out of the room, Yeonjun follows behind him as they walk into the elevator heading to the bottom floor. "Can you throw this on your way out?" Soobin asks passing Yeonjun the empty cup of coffee. Yeonjun nods his head, responding with a yes.

They head outside and Yeonjun quickly walks to a trash bin next to the entrance, he throws away the cup but stops in his tracks when he sees an old man sitting down next to the brick wall. He was wearing dirty and ripped up clothes, while his face had marks of sunburns and dirt. Yeonjun felt sympathy for the man.

This could have been Yeonjun if Changbin never offered him a job, this could have been him at any moment. He walks up to the man and took out his wallet handing the man a 50 dollar bill. "Please get something to eat with this" Yeonjun says holding the man's hand.

"Thank you," the man says with his raspy and dry voice.

Soobin turns around when he feels like something is missing, and notices that Yeonjun was not behind him. He looks towards the trash can and sees Yeonjun talking and holding an old man's hands. He decides to walk over towards the pair, and see what's wrong.

"Yeonjun! What are you doing?" Soobin says placing a hand on Yeonjun's shoulder. Soobin looks at the man, when he was younger his mom would always tell him to stay away from people like this but his father was always considerate and would always give them some money, and his mother would always say that dad was out of his mind.

Soobin takes out his own wallet and hands the man a one hundred dollar bill.

"Take care of it," Soobin says.

"Thank you, young man, you guys are such a kind couple," the old man says, Yeonjun eyes widen as he stutters. "Ah...n-no we aren't a couple, he is just my f-friend" Yeonjun stutters.

A small smile forms on Soobin face, as he places his hand on Yeonjun's shoulder. "Come on Yeonjun, we have to go before we miss the plane," Soobin says. "Have a great day sir" Soobin says smiling towards the old man who returns the smile.

The old man watches as the two young boys leave, "Be forever in love, Sang Lee and Yi Chisoo" the old man whispers.
