"Are you sure that you're okay if Taehee works for me?", Shihyun asks Sooji for a hundreth time again.

"Why? Is there any reason why I cant believe you?"

"Of course not..."

"Kwon Shihyun...listen to me...this time I believe you.. I really do...that there's nothing going on between you and Taehee....except work...so...dont let me down okay?"

"Yes mam!"

"So go now...", she pushes him out of her apartment. It's been two days. Eventough she's secretly happy he's here. She cant let him neglected his job and abandon his own apartment. So tonight, she forces him to go home.

"Are you really okay? You still looks unhealthy...", Shihyun still worried to leave her alone in her apartment.

"I am fine....I havent fully recovered yet...but I am fine..."

"Really? I can cancel the meeting tomorrow..."

"Yaaa! Dont you dare make me as an excuse to skip work again!", Sooji glares at him.

"Ok fine...", Shihyun leaves begrudgingly.

"Wait..."

"What?"

"You forget something...", Sooji suddenly gives him a peck on the lips. Shihyun just staring at her. Being the receiving end of Sooji's affection still feels unreal. "Now go...dont come back before you make a lot of money Mister!", Sooji smiles teased him. "Bye..."

Sooji's back to her bed and cant help but start thinking about Taehee. Is she really okay with Shihyun and Taehee's situation right now? No, she's not. Everything that related to Taehee is always make her nervous. How could she not? Years ago, Taehee came out of nowhere and ruin the friendship that she build with Sejoo and Shihyun long before, she break them apart.

============

Shihyun cant sleep. He kept thinking about Sooji, is she alright? If he called her again for the fifth times, he's pretty sure she wont pick up. Does he need to ask her to move in here? She'll definitely refuse. Or what if he just rent a place beside her apartment room. It'll be so much easier right? But he just moved here. Shihyun sighs. He knows sleep wont come even if he tried to. So instead of going back to bed, Shihyun takes a canvas and starts to paint.

========

"Morning pretty...."

"Good morning to you too...", Sooji answered.

Shihyun smiles, because he can feel her smiling through her answer. "Do you already have a breakfast?"

"Ani...I just woke up"

"Yaa..should I come to make you a breakfast?"

"It's too early too eat breakfast...beside you're getting ready to the office right?"

"Yeah..but I can stop by.."

"Shihyun ah...I am 26 years old...I am pretty sure I can find a food to eat without you cooking me...", she cant say she'll make her own breakfast, because God help her, she really cant.

"But not cereal...find a real food...", how could he read her mind?

"Cereals is a real food...", Sooji argues.

"I will really stop by.."

"Okaay...I'll find a real food...there's a restaurant across the street that serves REAL breakfast..."

"Good..."

"Good luck for your meeting..."

"Love you...", Shihyun says. But the other lines geting silent. "Dont you want to say it back??"

"Hmm...should I?"

Shihyun sigh. "Okay..."

"I love you too..."

"Wow..."

"Why?"

"It's still unreal hearing you said that..."

"Okay...I wont say it again...", Sooji grumbles.

"Yaa...the right respond should be...I'll say it more often...", Shihyun can hear her chuckles.

"Bye..."

"See you tonight.."

Shihyun hangs up the phone and grinning happily. Sometimes he hoped that he knew that everything going to feel this good. And everything was going to be this easy, just then he and Sooji wouldnt need to lose their time. Six years apart. With so much broken heart.

When the elevator door almost closing he heard someone yell. "Wait!!", so he automaticly pushed the hold button.

"Thank you...", that woman enter the elevator out of breath. And Shihyun is just gapping at her. "Shihyun ah!", the woman yelled happily.

"Tae hee?? What are you doing here?"

"I live at my old apartment room...when I am back, I come here first and luckily the room was empty...so I move here right away...", she explains excitedly.

"Oh...", he really needs to move out now.

"I never thought you're going back here too....", she smiles full of hope. "We have a lot of memory here...", she's reminiscing.

"Yeah..."

"You're going to the office, arent you?", she asks.

"Yeah..", did she expect him to offer her a ride?

Thank God, the elevetor door opens at the lobby. "I should go...see you at the office...", she excuses herself, looking little bit disappointed.

"Yeah...", Shihyun smiles awkwardly.

At the basement parking lot, Shihyun deliberately stays longer at the car. He doesnt want to see Taehee at the street waiting for a cab. Because if he did, he really should offer her a ride. Because it'll be really rude.

After 15 minutes, he finally drive out and. Shit! Taehee still there waiting for a cab. He pulled over relluctantly. "Come on in..."

"It's okay...I'll just wait a taxi..."

"We have the same destination...come on..."

"Thank you...", she smiles brightly.

==================

"We need to talk!", Shihyun barged in Sejoo's office.

"I am really busy now...", Sejoo shows him piles of invoice in front of him.

"It's emergency!"

"What? Sooji is alright, isnt she?"

"For now..."

"Then what is more important than that??"

"If I cant find a solution for this...Sooji might not be ok.."

"Ok boy...what is it this time?"

"Taehee..."

"Again???!"

"Yaa...listen to me...I just found out this morning that she lives in her old room..."

"Her old room?"

"In my apartment building...in front my apartment room..."

"What??!"

"I should really move out, shouldnt I?"

"Wait a minute...why is she back there?? Does she still love you??"

"No way! After everything I did to her...no way she still loves me..", Shihyun shrughs.

"Sooji does..."

"Yeah..she does...", Shihyun is grinning happily. Momentarily forget about his probpem.

Sejoo rolls his eyes. Lovestruck Shihyun is really annoying to watch. "Calling Kwon Shihyun back to earth!!"

"What?"

"Taehee..."

"Oh yeah about that..."

"Just tell Sooji...."

"You're really not helping...", Shihyun grumbles.

Sejoo sighs. "If it was me...I'll move out...but before I did that...I'll tell Sooji first...who know if she offered youย  to move in to her apartment..."

"Oh God!!! You're really genius!!!!", Shihyun says excitedly and run out of his office.

"He didnt even thank me...maybe next time I'll just give him a bill for every consultations..."

===============

Shihyun enters her apartment without knocking because Sooji already gave him the passcode. "Honeeyyy I am homee...", he greets her happily. The prospect of being asked to move in here make him giddy.

"Huh?", Sooji is chiling in the living room watching netflix. Shihyun handed her a boquet of red roses andย  gave her quick peck on the cheek. "What is this all about?", she looks at him confuse. They're just dating, but why did she feel like her husband just coming home.

"Arent you happy to see me?", Shihyun takes off his suits.

"Yes..but the honey creeps me out...and this roses? Did you make a mistake??"

Shihyun sighs. "Why did you assume that I made a mistake?"

"Because you used to gave me flowers everytime you felt guilty..."

"No...I was not...", Sooji raised her eyes. "Yeah...sometimes...", he admit it.

"So?"

"So?"

"What do you want to tell me??"

Shihyun sits beside her. "I need to move out..."

"Why??"

"This morning I just found out that Taehee lives in her old room...", Shihyun said carefully.

"What?!!"

"Yeah...that's why I need to move out...". For a moment Sooji was silent. She didnt say a word. It made Shihyun nervous. "Are you mad at me?"

"Mad? Why would I?", she smiles sweetly. "I am glad both of you were reunited..", she said sarcastically.

"Yeah...she's mad...", Shihyun said to himself. "So what should I do? It'll takes time to find a new place to move...", Shihyun was pretend to think.

"So just stay there...it's your place, you dont need to move out..."

"Yaaa!!! Why did you always give the wrong response?!", Shihyun is frustrated with his girlfriend.

"Is there a right response?"

"You should say...you dont need to worry honey...you can move in here.."

"What?!! Are you crazy?!", Sooji is looking at him bewildered.

Oh God, he wants to kills Sejoo right now for giving him that idea.

===============

Ps : Sorry if that's little bit meh..๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ I really run out of idea...hope it's still enjoyable...next, should Shihyun move in??
