It was business as usual the week after the blackout. Kyuhyun was having Conference call with Seoul office. 

"Kyuhyun I think your proposal is workable. Mr Lee of LCH Construction and Design Ltd would be more agreeable since he was against SM Sapphire taking over his business entirely. By offering his company to be a subsidiary of our company, he can still carry on his business but with our backup and financial support. But we need to emphasise that he must use our SM Sapphire company logo for all his business dealings after his company sign the deal" Siwon was talking over the conference phone speaker. 

"How about you come to Seoul earlier when you attend my wedding, then we can arrange to meet up with Mr Lee to finalise the contract?" Changmin said to Kyuhyun. 

"Why can't you two handle it?" Kyuhyun was grumbling. They always dragged him into all these business mergers and acquisition. 

"Mr Lee prefers face to face meeting. And his business is going downhill. We need to convince him that SM Sapphire can help him. And you are a good negotiator, obviously you are our 1st choice ...." Siwon was trying to convince Kyuhyun while laughing quietly to Changmin. 

"Bull, I can hear you laughing. You two can handle it. I want to be around for somebody's birthday on 1st Jan. I don't want to go to Seoul on 1st Jan". 

"Whose birthday? " Changmin was asking Kyuhyun coz he cannot recalled any of their close friends have birthdays on 1st Jan.

"Someone" Kyuhyun tried not to answer the question. 

"Wow that someone must be pretty special for Kyuhyun to celebrate it together!! Who is it Kyu?" Siwon kept on pressing. 

"Nobody you know "

"Girlfriend? Boyfriend?" Siwon candidly asked. 

"Shut up. I'm going to hang up "

"Wait, ok ok, why not you bring along that person to Seoul? Then you two can celebrate here together"  Siwon suggested. 

"Kyu, don't tell me it's your new housemate? I met Ahra noona recently in Shinsegae, she did hinted that you have somebody special now" Changmin was saying while Siwon raised his eyebrows. 

"OMG she just cannot keep shut "

"Kyu, we are closed friends, how could you keep it from us??" Siwon was feeling sad and left out. 

"Not the time to tell you two yet. I will introduce the person to you during Changmin's wedding. Now don't ask me anymore. Very well, I will go to Seoul for the meeting. I probably drive up from my parents home in Daejeon after Christmas."

"Great!!! I will set up an appointment with Mr Lee" Changmin was saying. 

Kyuhyun was thinking fast. He didn't really mind going to Seoul earlier, but he has to think of Sungmin. Can he be on leave for a week? What if he can't go? Aishhhhh why did I say I will go? I should check with Sungmin first. He made a mental note to bring up the subject to Sungmin later. He would be picking Sungmin up, together with his teammate, Ryeowook, to have dinner at Hard Rock Cafe, at Haeundae. Ryeowook said his cousin, Hyunshik, who is working there, have a staff discount, so their dinner would be cheaper, and they got to watch Hyunshik's singing. Hyukjae apparently has a date with
