Is she his woman ? So there is already another woman replace her place? Was he totally forget her all this years? All of those though fill her head. Victoria let her body fell to the couch cause she lost all her strength for stand up. Her tears fall continuously on her porcelain cheek with eyes still lock at the screen.

“Congratulation darling .. “ He receive another hug and peck but this time from his girl friend , Hyuna.

“ Thanks darling , anyway thanks for save your time to come here. “ 2 days ago , hyuna told him that she probably couldn’t come cause she had some photo shoot out of the town for couple days. He really thankful this time she manage to come and pick their relationship after her work. Previously it was really hard to persuaded her left her work for something else include him. Not he dislike she fight for her career as a top model but al least she should save more time for him such as come to see him in his office, dinner or lunch together, or send him message to ask his condition. For now he could understand her, understanding it was the foundation of a relationship so if he didnt how could he keep their relation for this two years. 

“No , how could I don’t come to your important day..”

“You really lucky hyung , you have a understanding woman like her.” Junho said in envy.

“But I am so sorry darling , I cant accompany you for dinner I have flight to Busan in next 3 hours” Hyuna glance at her watch.

“It’s ok , no need to sorry. Take care of yourself..” Nichkhun gives a kiss on her forehead before send her to the van. He do disappointed because she suddenly cancel their first dinner together after 2 weeks separated. Once again, he must be an understanding fiancee.

Nichkhun lean her tired body on the passenger seat , after whole day busy preparing the event finally he has time to breath in peace. Actually he decided to spend their dinner time in one of Japanese restaurant in Gangnam which is Hyuna favorite one. Because she cant join him , he refer to come with Junho than only by himself. “Hyung , I miss ajumma food. Should we go there ?” Junho recommended to Nichkhun who loosen his tie “Sure , it’s been very very long time since the last time we come there” then Junho drive the car toward Hondae.

Stand in front of Noryangjin Restaurant , Nichkhun examine the view of this old restaurant from his place. It’s been a year since his last visit , busy schedule made him couldn’t lunch nor dinner outside instead in office. He really miss this place , one of memorable and important place for him the place where he found his happiness and give him a heart wrenching at the same time. Junho pat Nichkhun’s shoulder cause he just stiff in front of the door , “Hyung , kaja !” He said wake him up from his trance.

The two man already on their table waiting for ordering the food , Nichkhun’s eyes landed on some aprons hung near their table. This last 6 years he didnt see those aprons hung there but why today they appear again?

“Huh , Ajumma provide new apron for customers now.. “ Junho said as it’s first time for him ever look at those aprons.

“No , it’s old one.. “

Nichkhun clarify as he really recognize them. The K and V initial on the it enough to tell him that aprons used to wore by him and her every time they came here. Ajjuma would never let anyone else use those aprons beside them, 6 years ago when she left so did one of the apron. She is gone.. doesnt she? How come the other appear again..  hung next to each other as it suppose to be 6 years ago.

“Which one ?” Junho ask him

“Oh really ? I think my old customers one by one pay me a visit.. Its really makes me happy then.. “

“Really?”

“Yeah , 2 days ago Krystal-ssi came. For my surprise she also came with Victoria –ssi .. “

Junho choke , surprised by her words but the one who most surprise here is Nichkhun , obvious from his expression. Her words almost makes him get a heart attack, she just mention her name VICTORIA. It’s been 6 years he didn’t hear those name in his life ,all of sudden heard her name also bring her face into that painful memories again after 6 years he try to erase from his mind but just in blink of eyes her name , her face and all about them drowning his mind.
