“What the heck is wrong with everyone?” I threw the stacked of paper on the table, I was clearly fuming. “You guys better clear this up by tomorrow morning by hook or by crook!”

“Y-Yes sir.”

“Get out now!”

This felt like an everyday thing when we reached our peak period, when the company started to get really busy due to the fashion season.

As said so, if I’m busy, Yoona would be even busier. I haven’t seen her for almost a month already.

It was all I wanted for the longest time - to open my eyes and see her there. To open my eyes and see her there. To stretch out my hands and touch the soft, yielding warmth of her skin. But now I have learned the secret of distance. Now I know being close to her was never about proximity.

“Wow wow, what’s happening?”

Seungri that brat just have to come in at this timing.

“What do you have for me again? There’s a problem at HR side too?”

I held onto my head, I could feel it throbbing hard.

“Oh no, everything is fine. Don’t you worry,” he laughed.

I think one day, I’d be surrendering to him. Such situation and he still had the heart to laugh.

“You know what is happening here right? If there’s no other thing, can you leave me alone and let me settle some first?”

“You didn’t even let me say what I want to say,” he made an exaggerated sigh. “Since you want to be alone, then forget it.”

Even before I could reply, he turned towards the door and called out.

“Yoona ah, Jiyong said that he wanted to be alone!” He shouted. “I think you can go home and catch some sleep then!”

I looked towards his direction and saw her head peeked out from the door, smiling cheekily.

I couldn’t help but to let out a small smile, giving a hit on Seungri’s head.

“Kwon Jiyong!”

“Yes, what. I’m your boss, don’t forget about that.” I pushed him towards the door. “Now, get out.”

I reached my hand out and pulled Yoona in, shutting the door tight.

“Since when you’re back?”

“Since now. Can’t you see the luggages behind me?”

“Sorry, except for your pretty face, I can’t see anything else right now.”

“Glib! Wait till your little princess hears it.” She sniggered. “How is she doing? She caught a flu few days back right?”

“She’s fine now, nothing serious.” I pulled her towards the couch. “Why didn’t you tell me you’re coming back today? I could’ve went to fetch you.”

“Surprise?” She laughed. “And judging from this, you think you’d have the time to fetch me?”

She was pointing to all the papers that were scattered on the floor.

Taking an advantage of her not paying much attention, I pulled her closer and gave a kiss on her lips.

“Yah!”

“What?” I shrugged my shoulders. 

“We’re in the office!”

“So what?” I pulled her into my arms. “I missed you.”

“Aww, since when Kwon Jiyong is like this? I’m still not getting used to it.”

“Don’t you miss me?”

“Nope! I was too busy, I don’t have the time to think about anyone.”

She had those words in , but her action was showing otherwise. She returned the hug, with her forehead placed against my neck.

Something would never change even though so many years had passed. She had a habit of doing this action whenever she’s really tired but couldn't fall asleep.

“You little liar,” I her head. “Come on, let’s get you home. You’re looking like a dead zombie now.”

“Mhmm.” She replied but the next moment, she pulled away. “Wait, it’s only 4pm and you’re knocking off?”

I walked over to grab my stuff, motioning her to get out.

“Well, I’m the boss, no one would say any
