She’s so small. That’s the first thing that Myungsoo thought when saw her. Even standing beside Myungsoo, she only reach his shoulder, he wonder it would look like when saw her standing beside Sungyeol, because Sungyeol taller than Myungsoo. She is really small.

Even though she is small or petite, guess that the much better word, but her eyes showed differently. Her eyes gave the vibe about how big her ambition about her life and how determined she is to make it real.

Myungsoo didn’t like her.

When Sungyeol asked Myungsoo to meet up for lunch, somehow Sungyeol forgot to inform there’s others will tagged along. Its not Myungsoo didn’t like to meet up with Sungyeol’s friends but he already got enough the night before when Woohyun insisted they doing another night out because Dongwoo in town, back from the land of people that somehow smiles better.

Myungsoo never got a hard feeling for Woohyun or any Sungyeol’s friends, but this transit only a couple days before he must go back on the travelling for another weeks, so if he able to choose, off course he want to be Sungyeol and Sungyeol alone. But off course he can’t do that, won’t do that even though Sungyeol keeps saying it’s alright to say no, even to Woohyun.

So, back at the present, when now the situation that Myungsoo sat silently in front of her, hasn’t say anything since Sungyeol excused himself to the bathroom. And Myungsoo wonders if Sungyeol got swallowed in one of those expensive toilet because its feels like hours.

And if Myungsoo got to be honest, he really didn’t feel any comfortable, left alone with her which is a little bit funny, because Myungsoo is so sure he can handled her specially she is that small.

But the thing that made Myungsoo not at ease, its another foreign feeling that somehow keeps on appearing since he met Sungyeol, and more to come when he decided to do justice for Woohyun’s goodwill.

The first call was a failed, because Sungyeol’s phone somehow out of reach or he run of battery or just refused to answer call from unknown number.

The second call also another failed, even though Sungyeol picked up the call, suddenly the line was death because Myungsoo failed to find another quarter to fill. Lesson from that time, since that Myungsoo always makes sure to got more than 20 coins of quarters in his pocket.

If they said three times is a charm, that’s really misleading, a big one. Not only Myungsoo cannot get through but also in the end he lost his phone, it was a good thing he already memorized Sungyeol’s number.

But when finally Myungsoo able to talk to Sungyeol, all those misfortunate just gone forgotten because when people will said that’s must be awkward or a lot of silent. Yes, there was a silent, a brief one, because Sungyeol’s somehow in his way to the meeting room and that day the elevator fatedly being repaired, so he need did the stairs for 15 levels up. The silent was for Sungyeol to catch a breath.

And before they ended, they made a promise to meet up that night, for dinner.

Sungyeol still missing, not back at the table, and somehow she didn’t mind at all, still rummaging the menu, sometimes she checked her phone and smiled after read whatever she read.

Myungsoo never once fidgeting but he is now, and really not good for his back, and with it Myungsoo made a mental note to make sure Sungyeol massaging him tonight, if there’s no more invitation from Woohyun.

Her name is Kim Taeyeon, that’s all that Myungsoo knew. He didn’t know what she did, how she knew Sungyeol because Myungsoo absolutely sure that this Kim Taeyeon not related with Sungyeol. Myungsoo knew Sungyeol’s family, and everyone is tall.

Another unease feeling robbed in.

Myungsoo tried not to think anything, but somehow by staring at her and she’s being not care at all, acted as if nothing, for the good last 5 minutes gave him an idea or more.

If she was the one that Myungsoo had thought, honestly Myungsoo more confused, not understand about this lunch invitation.

“Kim Myungsoo, right?” she titled her head, while putting her phone to her bag.

“Yes,”

“Not much a talker, I guess?”

“Yes,”

She laugh, and the weird part is Myungsoo like the sound of its.

“So, do you know who I am?” she resting her chin on her hands.

“Not sure, really,” Myungsoo just being honest.

“Sungyeol never tell you about his past?”

“Never asked,”

Taeyeon looked intensely at Myungsoo, even though there’s a smile but the smile not reaching her eyes, “Why?”

“Its not important,”

“Are you sure? Really didn’t want to know,”

“Yes,”

“You can ask me, I will tell you all,” said Taeyeon, there’s playfulness in her voice.

“No, thank you,” Myungsoo declined.

As the timing seems too perfect, after Myungsoo said it, Sungyeol walked toward the table. Before he took the seat Sungyeol give a peck on Myungsoo’s cheek and left Myungsoo amused.

“So, what I miss?” Sungyeol asked, he looked at Taeyeon but his hand reach Myungsoo’s hand, stopped the shaking that even Myungsoo not realized.

“Nothing much, beside I must said you are lucky,” Taeyeon answered and smiled, and this time the smile really reaches her eyes.

“I know,” Sungyeol took a small glance to Myungsoo, and winked.

In the end Myungsoo never knew who was Kim Taeyeon, what her part in Sungyeol’s past. In the end for Myungsoo it didn’t matter, because the one that holding Sungyeol closed is him.

Everyone got past, Myungsoo also got one and many more and he willing to share it with Sungyeol when Sungyeol asked. And it goes with Sungyeol’s past, when Myungsoo feels like to know, he will give the question away.

As for now, Myungsoo just feel content and calm, hugging sleeping Sungyeol closed to his heart, even though Sungyeol not do the massaging.

It’s alright, Myungsoo still got a day to make Sungyeol doing it before he go.
