Woohyun came back with your order. You sipped from the mug. You winced when the hot liquid burned your tongue. “Are you okay?” Woohyun shot up and stood by your side holding your hand. His voice was filled with worry and it felt like a déjà vu. It was all so familiar, every bit of it, you sipping on a hot liquor and him worrying over you hurting yourself and holding your hand then laughing at how clumsy you were. You pulled your hand away from his “I’m fine” you said. He sat back and smiled “Some things never change” you chuckled and said “I guess” “So, how have you been?” he asked resting his chin on his hands. You shrugged “Same old same old, work and studying mostly.” He knew you weren’t a big fan of small talk but it has been a while and you needed to catch up.

“How did the scholarship go?” His heart ached when he uttered the word that made everything between you fall apart. He recalled how he behaved like an immature bastard. But it was bittersweet to you. Aside from things falling down between you and Woohyun and how depressed it made you, the scholarship was your dream. Even though it didn’t turn out as great as you thought it would be, it didn’t disappoint you. You learned a lot, grew a lot and made new friends. The downside was that it was exhausting, stressful and you didn’t have him cheering and supporting you. You realized then that you had got used to having him by your side and him not being there made you feel lonely. You smiled at him “It was pretty good. Made a few new friends there, learned a lot and had a chance to stay at such a beautiful city. It wasn’t easy though. It was tiring and I barely had time to sleep.

It made you smile even when you know that you shouldn’t. “Ah, they chose two so he was my partner. We work at the same hospital now.” “Mmm” He hummed and you could sense a hint of jealousy. You chuckled.

“Enough about me, congratulations on your solo debut. We’ve all been waiting for years.” You said sincerely. You knew how long he’s been waiting and how hard he worked for it to happen. “It’s a dream come true.” He said dreamingly “The songs were a sad but you know that I love your voice in ballades.” “At that time they seemed to suit my state of mind.” He gave you a sad smile. You felt tears welling up in your eyes. The air between you became thick. “Do you still listen to Tom Odell?” He asked breaking the awkward silence “Of course, you know how much I love him.” He smiled at the familiarity of your excitement “Good” he said opening his back bag and taking out an album and handing it over to you “I got you this. I was going to give it to Myungsoo to hand it over but I’m really glad I had the chance to give it to you myself. I've been keeping it for a while now.” He said with a genuine smile that reached his eyes and made them twinkle. You held the album and smiled at it then at Woohyun “Th
