"Secretary Shim. What time will we go to the Chairman's?"

Minhee popped out beside Jake.

"Actually... Me and Director have something to do first... Will it be alright if you guys go first?"

The lady looked at him and nodded.

"Sure! Enjoy your date!"

"It's not a date Minhee-ssi..."

Minhee just shrugged, her eyes teasing.

"Hey hey hey!!What are you guys talking about?!!?!!"

Chohwan came to them, arms full of the cloths.

"Nothing nothing."

Minhee pushed him away.

"Don't bother Secretary Shim. Let's go."

"But I still want to—"

"Cho."

Chohwan immediately stopped and headed to Nabi once he heard her voice.

"Alright!!"

Jake looked at them with a wide smile on his face.

"Happy?"

Jake turned to his side and found Jay, piling the chairs with him.

"Yes..."

"Good. You better be or else Sunghoon won't be fine with it..."

Now Jake laughed.

"Thank you too Team Leader Jay..."

Jay shook his head.

"No need to thank me..... Anyways... I saw your brother a while ago too. He's with Riki right now I think."

Jake raised an eyebrow. He noticed that Sunoo is surprisingly close to Sunghoon. But he is curious about his relationship with Ni-Ki the most.

"Really? Where did you saw them?"

"At the corner. You better hurry..."

"Alright."

Jake finished his pile and ran towards the corner. There he really did spotted Sunoo and Ni-Ki together.

"Sun!!!"

Sunoo immediately turned to where the voice it and smiled wide before waving a hand.

"Hyung!!!!"

Jake walked towards them with a smile.

"You came!"

"Of course hyung? I won't miss it..."

Jake pulled him for a hug before he turned to Ni-Ki.

"By the way. You know my brother well huh?"

Ni-Ki just smiled shyly.

"Hyung I met him once when I was looking for you way back! It was a very unforgettable meeting..."

Jake raised an eyebrow at that.

"Really?? Care to elaborate?"

Now before Sunoo could even open his mouth, Ni-Ki cut him.

"We just bumped into each other.... He gave me his number then we started to get closer."

Sunoo looked at Ni-Ki, pouting.

"That's not—"

"Yes it is.... Hyung... I think I'm seeing Sunghoon hyung over there."

Jake followed the direction that Ni-Ki is looking at.

"Oh right. I'll be going now then... I take that you guys will be at the dinner too? Sun?"

"Yep! Riki invited me to it."

Jake just gave Ni-Ki a glance once more.

'They're close huh...'

"Okay... See you there."

"See you hyung!!!"

The two watched Jake walk away. Once out of the scene, Sunoo turned to Ni-Ki.

"Why did you cut me a while ago? That was technically how we met but you missed the most important detail that made it unforgettable."

Ni-Ki sighed.

"Your hyung is giving me calculated glances.... If you'll tell him that we met when I literally crashed on your car, causing me to have a few scratches, you think he'll be okay with it?"

Sunoo stopped and pondered the question. He sighed and just stared at Ni-Ki.

"Fine. You have a point there. I was just excited okay?"

Ni-Ki gave him a smile.

"Yeah yeah...."

Sunoo just rolled his eyes to him.

"I'll wait for you in the car."

But the fondness on his voice is still evident.

"Yes future Chairman Kim."

"Stop teasing me Team Leader Ni-Ki."

That caused Ni-Ki to laugh.

Sunghoon let Jake drive his car.

"Where are we going?"

Jake just smiled.

"Somewhere close to my heart."

Sunghoon stared at Jake.

"Really? I can't wait then..."

Jake focused on the road, organizing his thoughts.

"Oh."

Sunghoon stopped for a second when he saw the place.

"Dar—"

Jake hushed him. Immediately grabbing Sunghoon's hand, Jake walked to the familiar corner.

"It's me again... And like what I promised you in my dream, I bought him.."

Jake tightened his hold on Sunghoon's hand. He smiled and raised it proudly.

"We're here now mom."
