Jihae picked up a large box and took it to the back storeroom of the cafe.

The manager was walking past and looked inside the box.

"Heyyyy! Where'd you get these decorations? They're so pretty."

Jihae looked back and smiled.

"Oh, just found it in my cupboard. It was a waste to throw them out."

"In your cupboard? But they look so new!"

Jihae laughed and went back to the car waiting outside.

Jihae grabbed another box and was about to turn around when Junhyung came out of nowhere and took the box from her.

"Is this the last one?"

Jihae smiled and wiped her hands.

"Hey, didn't know you were coming."

"Yeah well, couldn't leave you to do all work. Say, where's Taemin?"

Jihae looked around and realised Taemin wasn't around.

"Um.. no idea."

Junhyung went inside the cafe and placed the box with the others.

Jihae took out her phone and texted Taemin.

To: Taemin
From: Jihae

Hey, where are you? Are you coming to help out with the store?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

To: Jihae
From: Taemin

I'm on my way. Have you started yet? Sorry if i'm late :\

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

To: Taemin
From: Jihae

Nah, we just started :) Hurry!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Jihae shut her phone and went inside the shop.

Junhyung was already on the small ladder, decorating the walls with streamers.

Jihae walked over and nodded in approval.

"I think we should add some ornaments as well."

Junhyung stopped taping the streamers and looked down at Jihae.

"I think so too. Can you pass me some?"

Jihae walked over to the box and grabbed a bundle of ornaments and walked back to Junhyung.

Everytime she passed an ornament to Junhyung, their hands would touch.

Jihae didn't think much of it but as the hours went on, they would always bump into each other or accidently touch each other.

They soon found themselves facing each other in the cramp storeroom.

Junhyung was reaching for some christmas lights that were above Jihae and had to edge closer to Jihae to reach them.

Jihae, feeling awkward, looked somewhere and pretended to fiddle with other things.

When Junhyung finally reached it, he just casually smiled and walked out.

Jihae shook her head and told herself that she was just thinking things by herself and followed after.

When she came out with a few more christmas lights, Jihae saw Taemin helping out.

"Taemin! You're here." Jihae walked over and patted him on the back.

"Yeah, it looks great! What else do we have to do?"

Junhyung pointed to the big christmas tree close to the enterance.

Both Jihae and Taemin looked at each other and sighed.

Junhyung chuckled and grabbed a large box and walked over to the tree.

He turned and looked at Jihae and Taemin.

"You guys decorating or what?"

Taemin and Jihae pouted and slowly walked over to Junhyung, who couldn't help laugh at them.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the rest of the day, Yena and Minho were busy planning the party, with the help from Kibum.

Taemin, Jihae and Junhyung were busy decorating the store and preparing for Christmas.

Jonghyun was busy looking for the best present to give to Yena and Jinki was just sitting on his sofa, thinking if he should go to America.

Suddenly Jinki got a call and he quickly picked up.

"Hello?"

"Oppa, guess who's missing you?!"

Jinki slowly smiled and sighed.

"Sojung?"

The girl on the other end giggled.

"I knew you would recognise my voice! How are you oppa?"

"I'm fine. How about you? Having fun at uni?"

"I'm good good! Uni? It's great but .. would be better if you were here."

Jinki sighed.

"I thought we talked about this."

"Yeah but! Why did you have to go back to Korea? You were just fine here!"

"Well .. i just had to come back."

"It's because of her isn't it? Just like 2 years ago."

"Sojung-ah. Can we not talk about this?"

"Answer me first. Do you still love her? Do you still love her like you did 2 years ago?"

Jinki looked down at the floor.

"No."

Jinki would hear Sojung breathing heavily.

"I have visitors. I'll talk to you later."

Jinki slowly closed his phone and placed his hands on his face.

What am i doing.. ?

Suddenly the front door opened and Jihae walked in.

Jinki stood up and walked to the kitchen to pour himself a glass of water.

"You're late."

Jihae rolled her eyes and walked upstairs.

Jinki stopped pouring and sighed.
