(Time skip) - Friday 01:30 PM

The sun shines brightly from above, reflecting against the glass windows from outside the gallery, creating small silhouettes on the inside. Many are working on the final touch ups before the beginning of Jisungs second book promotion. Jisung was wearing a grey turtle neck, a long black coat over and black pants. He had plans on wearing a more eye-catching outifit but decided against it since it would give him even more attention from others.

The sun shined against Jisungs honey skin and brown eyes, as he had a troubled look on his face. Entering and leaving the bathroom every five to ten minutes, either fixing his turtle neck, hair, makeup or taking his anxiety pills. It seemed like he was even more nervous this time than he was on the first. His hands getting colder and colder as his thoughts continue to trace over his speech. 'What to say, what to do, what if I mess up?' - are the kind of thoughts that kept raising in his head

With only him and the staff inside the gallery so far, he grew even more anxious over the thought that he was in the center of attention. He walked up and down inside the bathroom, biting onto his thumb before he finally snapped out of it. 'This is a big day for me, why am I acting like this?' Jisung thought to himself

He then slightly slapped himself, and then looked into the mirror noticing a small strand of his hair sticking out where it shouldn't be. He sighed, before immediately fixing it and leaving the bathroom. 'It's a big day for me, yet why... Why do I feel like something is off?'

Jisung walked over to his manager with a soft smile presented on his face as he shook hands with the lovely woman who was dressed in all pink as her long hair rested over her shoulders. "It's good to see you Jisung! How are we feeling today?" She asked with a smile

Jisung nervously chuckled, "I'm not sure... Excited, nervous, maybe?"

She then reached out to pat his shoulder, "Don't stress over it, just do what you usually do. Be you."

Jisung smiled at her with a gentle expression, almost as if he was thanking her without saying a word. 'Perhaps gestures are more important than words...' Jisung thought to himself

Suddenly the entrance door to the gallery opened wide, the wind gushing through the locks of Jisungs hair as he slowly turned his head around spotting Minho. Jisung smiled and walked over to Minho who looked like he hadn't slept all night, yet somehow still, very attractive.

"Hello there handsome." Jisung teased

Minho smiled from ear to ear before placing a bouquet of tulips into Jisungs hands, then leaned close to Jisungs right ear whispering: "I didn't forget to bring my special gift for my special someone."

Jisung giggled, "I think you forgot something."

Minho backed away a bit, his eyes still on Jisung. "Oh? What's that I could have possibly forgotten my love?"

Jisung leaned close, giving Minho a small peck on the lips saying: "My gift to you." He winked leaving Minho stunned

"How do you still manage to keep me on my toes?" Minho chuckled out

"Because I'm just me~"

"I like that answer." Minho smiled "So, how are the preparations going? We have only thirty minutes left until you my love becomes the star of the show."

Jisungs body tensed up once again at the mention of him being in the center, which lead to his expression changing drastically.

"I shouldn't have said that, right?" Minho looked over at Jisungs manager who just chuckled
