“Yes I know Lisa. I’ll be there in five minutes okay?” 

 

“Chaeyoung I know this is not your first time being late but this meeting is important. It’s JYP we’re talking about! He wants you as his idols’ photographer but maybe he might be having second thoughts coz the boss ain’t here yet” 

 

“I’m on my way to my house now to grab the photo files I left on my table earlier, as fast as I could. Listen, just tell him that I’m stuck in a traffic okay? And have a little chat with him as a time distraction” 

 

“Fine! But be fast!” 

 

“Arasso” 

 

The phone conversation ended before Chaeyoung chuckled at Lisa’s babbles. Sometimes, Lisa can just replace his position as the boss because of her excellent working attitude and leadership. 

 

Chaeyoung arrived at his house a couple minutes later and hopped off the car after parking it. He entered and searched for the files. After successfully finding it, which it was in the kitchen because he left it there after having breakfast, he was about to exit to the living room but his feet stopped. 

 

He turned his head upwards to the left, looking straight to the upper level cabinet, where he had been observing it since last night.  

 

‘Should I check? ‘

 

He knew this would be the great opportunity for him since there was no one else in the house. Slowly making his way towards the kitchen cabinet, his trembling fingers reached for the handle. Carefully gripped tight onto it, he pulled it revealing its content. Empty. 

‘There’s nothing inside ‘

 

Totally confused but totally relieved. Now, he can feel a little distressed and feel less anxious about it but yet another certain thing still bugging his mind.  

 

The phone in his pocket suddenly buzzed. 

 

Fr : Lisa 

To : Chaeyoung 

 

YAH QUICK! 

 

“Shoot, I’m late”  

************** 

 

*knock knock* 

 

“Come in” he said with his eyes stick to the documents 

 

“Sir” the secretary popped her head in 

 

Tzuyu moved his eyes from the papers to the doors, “Oh Seolhyun ah. Come in” 

 

“Sir, the meeting is ready” 

 

“Okay” he stood up and wore his coat. Then he grabbed his documents and handed them to Seolhyun. “Seolhyun, I need you to get these to Red Company and get them signed by their CEO. And submit this to my uncle by tomorrow. Got it?” 

 

“Yes sir” she replied with her head hung low and hands held tight 

 

Tzuyu stood in front of his mirror to straighten his coat, “You look kinda stiff, Seolhyun. Try to relax. Are you afraid of me?” 

 

“N-no sir. It’s just that.. this is my first time working with someone well known” 

 

“Then you should be considered a lucky worker” he smiled 

 

He noticed that he got his tie a little incorrect so he tried to fix it but failed. Usually Sana would tie it for him. 

 

“Aish. I wish Sana was here” he tried to make it tidy 

 

Seolhyun asked, “Would you like me to help you with that sir?” 

 

Tzuyu turned and shot his glares at her. It could be helpful but something tells him that it would be wrong. 

 

“No thanks” 

 

“S-sorry..” she bowed 

 

“Oppa! Meeting meeting!” Jeongyeon suddenly barged in and saw the new worker. 

 

“Good afternoon, Jeongyeon shi” Seolhyun bowed 90 degree 

“Hi! You must be oppa’s new secretary right? Nice to meet you!” 

 

“Nice to meet you too, Jeongyeon shi” 

 

Feeling glad seeing his sister, he shrugged off the glares earlier on his face. 

 

“Jeongie help me with my tie please” Tzuyu stretched his neck out 

 

“Sure” Jeongyeon fixed it in just seconds. “Done! Let’s go!” 

 

Seolhyun bowed again, “Have a good meeting sir. I’ll go settle the documents right now” 

 

Tzuyu threw one last glance at Seolhyun before exiting the room together with Jeongyeon. 

 

After seeing them walking away and disappearing from her sight, Seolhyun mentally knocked her head. 

 

“Why did I offer to help with his tie? Babo Seolhyun babo” 

**************** 

Sana and Mina had just attended the fashion show where they were invited as special guests. They then headed their way to the clothing factory to check on the apparels for their upcoming boutique.    Mina skipped her way finding Sana while holding tight to a dress she liked.    “Sana-chan!”    “Yes?” Sana turned around after observing some clothes    “Look at this dress! Isn’t it pretty?”    “You like it coz it’s pink right?”     “Heck yeah!    Suddenly, Mina can already sense Sana’s weird poker face. It’s really noticeable for a best friend like Mina. She dropped the dress and held both of the latter’s shoulders.    “Is something bothering you?”    Sana sighed, “Can I talk to you about something?”    “Anything, girl. Shoot it”    They pulled a chair and sat comfortably.    “What is it about, Sana-chan?” Mina crossed her legs looking at her friend with full of concern    “Yesterday, I overhead Tzuyu and aunt Jihyo’s conversation”    Flashback    They laughed at the scene where Tzuyu got his hair pulled back into the kitchen after teasing Jihyo an old lady. Mr.Minwoo and the youngest couple resumed to their conversation while Sana suddenly felt that she need to hit the loo.    “Excuse me, I need to use the toilet” she stood up  Mr.Minwoo asked, “You know where the toilet is right, Sana?”    “Of course, uncle. Been here for half a decade now” she smiled    Sana excused herself and made her way to the bathroom. She passed by the kitchen but stopped when she heard something. She leaned against the wall and like a peeping Tom, she looked furtively at Tzuyu and Jihyo.    “When will we get to see Youngjae Jr. and Jihyo Jr. , aunt Jihyo?”    “Tzuyu” Sana heard Jihyo’s soft chuckle. “I am reaching my 50s. I had an early menopause”    “Oh.. sorry..I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings”    She covered to withstand her giggles. Seeing the innocent yet guilty Tzuyu made her to fall more for him.    “I’m not hurt Tzuyu. I’m happy. At least I have that dorky tall shikshin by my side”    “We’re still waiting for yours”    “We’re.. still trying”    She saw the elder caressing his cheeks, “Sometimes, it takes longer than expected. You have to be patient and don’t lose any hope”    “Roger that”    With no doubt, he would always give a warm smile.    End Of Flashback    “It has been four years for us now, Mina ya. But still, no single sign” sighed Sana    “What do you want me to say, Sana-chan? Chaeyoung and I have been trying too”    “Mina, do you know what I see in Tzuyu’s eyes everyday? He’s big anticipation for the word ‘I’m pregnant’”    “How would you know that?”    “He’s my husband! Of course I know!”    “Okay can you please chill?”    Sana suspired, “Tzuyu and I, we really want to have kids, Mina ya. Seriously. I just.. sometimes I think that the problem is me”    “No, please don’t think like that”    “I see Tzuyu is a healthy man! He is really feeling fit and very salubrious. And I pity him Mina ya. You know how he is the patience type of guy and it has been four years for him to wait for a child to appear, but nothing. I don’t know, maybe it’s just me”    “Please don’t say the word, Sana-chan. It’s just mind bugging you. You’re paranoid over this!”    “Paranoid or not, … I think I’m infertile”  “Shut! Up! Sana! No you’re not!”    The surrounding suddenly turned silence when the factory workers looked directly at them.    Mina pulled Sana and entered an empty room with no occupants in it.    “You did not just say that word Minatozaki Sana!”    “So what if I said it? I’ve been thinking about it and I think it’s time for me to let it out”    “Think about it again! Don’t you still have your periods? It’s going normal right? Then you can get pregnant!”    “Infertile or sterile
