[ - joshua - ]

Maybe I should buy her some sweets before going straight back. I don't want to upset her more after all. I don't really know what sweets she love and I don't think I should disturb Jihoon again. I'm sure he's continuing his works again. He's a workaholic after all.

Let's just buy whatever I could for now. She seemed to like coffee a lot tho, so I should probably get one for her.

I stopped by a café that I'd usually go. The waiters welcomed me and asked if I wanted to dine in or take away. Before I even say anything, I suddenly heard someone called me from the back

"Shua hyung ???" somebody called me which caused me to turn around

That's when I see Wonwoo and Mingyu together

"See I was right ! It was Shua hyung !" Mingyu scoffed

"Okay okay whatevs" said Wonwoo as he chuckled

"Are you two going to eat here ??" I asked them

"Yup. We've just arrived home earlier and there's nothing in the fridge. We decided to stop by this café since it's nearby our house" Wonwoo shrugged

"Ah, I see" I nodded

I then remembered about Jihoon saying these two are related with Sophia. I should probably take this chance to ask them about her and catch up with them since it's been a while.

"Can I join you two ??" I asked

They seemed delighted by that idea of course. It has been a long time

"Of course !" Mingyu said excitedly

"My treat this time" I smiled as I turned to the waiter

"Dine in, table for three please" I said to the waiter

"Ah, right this way sir" he cleared the path as he led us to a table for three

The three of us followed the waiter and settled down at the seats provided.

"How have you two been ??" I asked

"Oh, we've been great. In fact, we've just gotten back from a trip earlier" said Wonwoo as he looked through the menu

"We planned to go with our cousin, but she said she was really busy and she couldn't come along" said Mingyu as he was pouting

Wait. They wanted to go on a trip with Sophia but she said she was busy ????? I mean she could've just told me and I'd just let her go with them.

"Ah, really. What's her name ??" I asked

"Sooyoung ! Kim Sooyoung !" said Mingyu with a smile

"I wonder how she's doing right now. I hope she's still not upset about her breakup like 3 months ago" said Wonwoo followed by a sigh

"Oh gosh I hope so too !" said Mingyu

They really are close huh

The waiter approached us to ask us if we wanted to order anything and of course we gave out what we wanted to have.

"I wonder if she's actually dating someone right now. I mean... Wouldn't she give up after years having to go through the same thing ??" said Wonwoo as he stared outside of the window

"That Ella girl again ??? Sheesh why does she hates Sooyoung so much" Mingyu frowned

"Jealousy maybe" Wonwoo shrugged

I guess she really wasn't making it up. Now I feel more guilty than I already am.

"This Sooyoung girl... Could she be a Canadian-Korean ??" I asked

"Yeah, she is Canadian-Korean" said Mingyu

"Do you know her hyung ?" Wonwoo turned to me

"Um... Did she not tell you anything ???" I asked

"No, she didn't" Wonwoo replied

I then lifted my left hand which have our wedding ring on my ring finger and pointed right at it.

"What's with your ring ?--- WAIT--- DON'T TELL ME---" he covered his mouth, as his eyes widened

"You two are married ??" Wonwoo asked as he was really surprised by that sudden news

I just nodded

"Oh lord-- Since when ???" Wonwoo asked while Mingyu was still trying to process that piece of information

"Like a month ago" I scratched the back of my neck

"Neither of our family talked about it though ??? Was the reception private ??" asked Wonwoo and I nodded

"I think it was the day when both of us couldn't make it ?? I mean they did told us about a wedding but didn't specifically state WHO" said Mingyu

"Oh- Okay that makes sense why we didn't know" Wonwoo nodded

"I know I am in no place to know this but, may I know more about this issue with Ella ?" I asked them

"Of course. I mean you're her husband anyways, you should at least know" said Wonwoo

He explained to me about everything happened back in highschool until their adulthood and I really couldn't believe my ears. I REALLY wasn't expecting that.

"So basically, Ella just hated her for no reason and would always find a way to make her upset and angry ???" I asked, still in disbelief

"Yuppppp. Maybe she's just jealous that Sooyoung was kinda popular back in the days" said Mingyu

"Sheesh... That's bad..." I said as I am rethinking my decisions right now

"That aside ! Hyung, can we see her pretty pleaseeeee ??? I missed her so so badly !" Mingyu begged and of course I wouldn't say no. Why would I keep them away from her. They're related and are really close anyways.

Mingyu and Wonwoo were really happy about that of course. She really is their favourite cousin. Or I should just say, "younger sister"

"I have another question tho" I fiddled with my fingers

"Hm ? What is it ??" Wonwoo turned to me

"Do you know what sweets or things she is into ??? I kinda messed things up earlier and... I wanna make it up to her" I said as I was still fiddling with my fingers

"Oh ! Sooyoung really loves soufflé pancakes ! She also likes macaroons and even cakes. But that girl is really a coffee addict, ESPECIALLY latte" said Mingyu

"Ah,,,, Thank you so much" I thanked them

"You're welcome hyung ! If you want to know more about her, you can ask us whenever you want to. You can also ask Soonyoung hyung, Jihoon hyung or Hansol ! They're really close with her !" said Mingyu with a smile

"By the way hyung, does Jun and Chan know about you two getting married ???" asked Wonwoo

"They haven't yet. I don't really know how to bring it up to them" I replied

"Do they know her tho ??" I asked them

"Oh Jun hyung and Chan ?? Yep yep ! They know her very well. They were quiet close during highschool years ~" said Mingyu

"Heck, she was Chan's favourite" Mingyu chuckled

"So basically she have known the others but not me, Seungcheol and Jeonghan ???" I asked and both of them nodded

"Oh wow" I uttered
