"Are you sure you want to quit?"

"Yes. I am sure. I have made up my mind." You cross your finger and put them on your laps.

"But it is not too long before the show comes to an end."

"I know. I am very sorry. It is hurtful to stay there even just for one day." You tears start to fill up your eyes.

"I can understand. Sorry for all the things that happened."

"Thanks for the understanding. I know I am selfish for making such a request."

"No, you are not. Don't worry too much. I will get back to you soon. Have some rest, xxx. You look so sick."

"I will. Thanks a lot." You smile bitterly.

You leave the room after meeting with the PD of 'NCT full house'.

You head to the nearby coffee shop. Gongmyung waves at you when he saw you enter the shop.

You pull the chair in front of him and sit down.

"You look thinner than last time," Gongmyung says.

"Am I?"

"Yes, you are. Any drinks? On my treat."

"Ice Americano, without any sugar."

"Okay." He gets up from the seat and heads to the counter.

He comes back with ice Americano in his hand. He hands it to you.

"I am sorry about what had happened. Jaehyun has told me about that. "

"It is okay. I am fine."

"I never expected this to happen so soon."

You shrug your shoulder. Gongmyung continues, "But, Doyoung is too over this time. He should not just blame you all the way. You are not on purpose, don't you?"

"Yea. I don't blame Doyoung. It is my fault. Jae In told me before that she can't drink milk. But I didn't pay much attention to it."

"It is not your fault. Don't blame yourself too much." Both of you do not say anything for a while.

"Gongmyung, I am going to leave soon."

"Does Doyoung know that?"

"No. Only Jaehyun knows about this."

"Thanks for telling me. Can we meet again before you leave? Maybe at the airport?"

"Sure." You smile.

"Nuna!" Jaehyun takes a seat beside you. "Hi, Gongmyung."

"Hi, Jaehyun. It is rare to see you showing up."

"Haha. I am here to pick nuna up."

"You drive?"

"No, I just walk here."

"Tsk. Any drinks? On my treat today?"

"No, thank you. We need to rush to another place after this."

You take your bag and get up from the seat. "Okay, I am leaving. Gongmyung, I will text you later."

"Okay." He smiles brightly and makes an 'okay' sign.

"See you next time." Jaehyun waves at Gongmyung.
