"What have you concluded again?" Haechan asked while hands pocketed as he watched Sunwoo lean against the sturdy wall of the staff room.

A sigh escaped as the boy looked up to the dusty ceiling. Too many subjects were clouded over him but never did he could clarify what they were.

Concerns? Or worries? Otherwise curiosities?

"I know I don't have any right to question what kind of situation they were in. But, the looks on each face were different." He explained which had piqued Haechan's interest.

"What kind of look?"

"It's understandable if Soobin and Juyeon would have hatred all over their faces but.. nope, they have none. Instead, the hatred was on Changmin's." Sunwoo pondered, recalling the event unveiled. "Kevin looked concerned. I mean, why Kevin must look like that?"

"Valid!" Haechan nodded, crossing his arms in the process. "Eric didn't tell you anything? I mean he's close with Juyeon. Probably the older did say something?"

"Eric would never." He chuckled. "The only thing he said was 'Think about how Juyeon will feel if you date his ex.'"

"That's also valid." Haechan clicked his fingers. "But, it's over anyway. Juyeon already has a new girlfriend, that wouldn't be a problem."

For a brief moment, Sunwoo felt thankful for having Haechan on his side. Eric would never think like this although he would support Sunwoo wholly for the relationship.

"What is your next plan then?" Haechan questioned but then yelled in a warning tone just as Sunwoo was about to open his mouth. "Don't say anything cringe."

"No..." Sunwoo scooted closer and draped his arm around his friend's shoulders which Haechan subtly shrunk, worried for any possibility. Who knows if Sunwoo would hit him? "I need your help."

"W-What kind of help?" for an unknown reason, the latter also was questioning, why must he stutter.

Poking his tongue through his cheek, Sunwoo raised a brow as he replayed the idea in his head. This one idea was contributed by Eric when he asked for an opinion on how to attract Soobin's attention. And Sunwoo must admit that Eric was quite a genius when it came to an anti-romantic girl.

No wonder he never succeeded in getting a girl in any party.

"You have been working here longer than I did, you know everyone who has a connection with her, no?" He studied Haechan's face, the furious blinking almost made him laugh. It was nothing but Haechan was thinking about it too deeply. "Yes or no?"

"Y-Yes."

"Define Jacob-and-Soobin."

At that, Haechan whipped his head towards the questioner, brows knitted together. A big question mark was so obvious on his face, embodied that he didn't quite understand the plan.

"What is this about?" He asked, pushing the boy away. "What have I missed Sunwoo? You are mean! You should tell me if anything did happen behind my back!"

Sunwoo gritted his teeth, pretending to throw a hand, "I'm about to tell you now. Why are you so worked up!"

Hearing it, Haechan softened, "Oh, you did?"

"Tell me anything you know about them."

Haechan breathed out as he looked up. His lips protruded and a finger was tapping his chin. All the neurons inside his head were working faster than usual, he wanted to be helpful as well.
