Sandara pushed herself harder at work in order to forget about what Mario did to her. She kept Jiyong at bay for the moment opting to excuse herself from all his invitations blaming it all to her work. This is despite the fact that TOP is just busy rehearsing with Minzy for their upcoming TV series. Oh maybe we forgot to inform you that Minzy was chosen as the lead actress opposite TOP for the TV Series entitled "Love at Twenty One" focusing more on the age of Minzy and how she fell for a debonair like TOP. TOP seems to be interested in acting opposite Minzy. He keeps on asking for Sandara's advice on how he should portray scenes from the TV series. He is seriously contemplating on how he can make a name for himself using this TV Series as his vehicle and he feels that the Minzy-TOP tandem can work. The sad part is Bom is hurt Sandara can see it in her eyes. She is always bowed down and quiet whenever she passes by TOP and Minzy during the reading rehearsals. Sandaras' heart reaches out to her but just like Bom she is hurting and needs a closure. 

After weeks of contemplating her next move she has decided to meet him in person. They agreed to meet at the Coffee Ko owned by Jiyong. Of course Mario doesn't know that she knows the owner. She feels safer in places where she knows Jiyong might be present. On the appointed day she went to the coffee shop ahead of time. Jiyong called her earlier asking if they can have lunch together and she declined telling him the truth that she is meeting up with Mario. He did ask where and she said that they are meeting at Coffee Ko. He seemed satisfied with her answer and left her alone. 

She was unaware that after learning what's gonna happen Jiyong planned to have lunch at his coffee shop. He did his paper works in the tiny office near the klitchen and instructed his team to watch out for Dara and inform him as soon as she arrives. The people in his coffee shop knows her because being a creature of habit she would drop by every morning to buy her daily dose of coffee there. 

"Oh Riri why did you call?" Jiyong recieved a call from his old buddy who is a known Korean artist. He likes to come to Manila and pester Jiyong to be part of his band but Jiyong refuses. Seungri doesn't take no for an answer so every now and then he would come to Manila to pester Jiyong about the offer. 

"Why do you still ask, you know very well why I come to visit you right?"

"Yah right and the answer remains the same its a big no. You know how I hate the limelight."

"But bro you're a good singer and dancer- you already auditioned to be the youngest member of Super Junior remember?"

"Yah yah please don't remind me of that embarrassing audition okey - ewww!" The scene came to mind where he slipped while auditioning for a slot in Super Junior. Everybody laughed at him - torn and embarrassed he promised never to audition again.

"Okey so where are you now? Let's have lunch together."

"I'm at the coffee shop why don't you come over and let's have lunch here I have someone I need to see here. "

"Wow who could that be I have never heard you wait for someone before...you always have people wait for you. It's a girl right?"

"Just come here stop blabbering. "

"Sure bro see you. "

One of his waitstaff came in and informed him that Sandara is already in the coffee shop. Jiyong thanked his staff and peered through the kitchen to see where Sandara was seated. Jiyong likes looking at Sandara from afar. Eversince that day  when they first met during the audition he would always find ways to look at her from afar. Today she must be in fighting mood - she's wearing white t-shirt tucked in her dark blue denim pants and her favorite red Adidas shoes. Knowing that she will be meeting up with her unfaithful boyfriend she must be prepared to kick him in the gut. He smiled - knowing her - she will. Despite the simplicty of her style she exudes beauty that is angelic in nature - cute, happy, bubbly yet sensitive and brave nature. When she cries his heart feels like breaking apart. He knows that he is developing feelings for her yet he is afraid that if he pushes hard he might lose her. 

He sat on the bar stool opposite the barista. Sandara cannot see him because she was busy pondering what to say to her unfaithful boyfriend. And she was seated in the opposite direction from him. Seungri came first and the moment he stepped into the coffee shop he was about to shout Jiyng's name when he motioned him to keep quiet. Seungri sat beside him whispering. "Why are we supposed to be quiet? Is she around?" Jiyong pouted in the direction of Sandara. 

"Wow bro she is pretty, can you introduce me to her?"

"Shhh later - she doesn't know I'm here I want to protect her from her stupid boyfriend. I just want to make sure he won't hurt her."

"Why?"

"I met her in the elevator crying over that stupid bastard of a boyfriend. He asked to meet up with her and then proposed to another girl right in front of her, can you imagine that."

"Ohhh so that's why. Want me to punch him bro you know I am a blackbelt Wuju fighter right?"

"Shhh this battle is mine only if Sandara allows me to be part of it. Otherwise I am just here to support her. "

"Bro you like her. The last time you did this was for a girl who left you too for another ."

Jiyong looked down on his cup of coffee..."she still doesn't know..." almost in a whisper. 

"Bro you have to tell her."

"Not now she's
