"Are you disappointed that it is me?"

The moment I reached the café, he was sitting there with his smug face. 

"You better have a good reason for me to be out at this timing, Lee Seungri. It's freaking 2 am!"

Oh, and if you're wondering what kind of café was still open at 2 am, it's his cafe. Wonder how an employee from Universe can open a cafe? I have no idea as well. 

"Take a chill pill and there is no one here, you can remove your mask. You know I have bad hearings and with that voice muffling against the mask, it's worse." He took a sip of his tea after speaking. "Mocha latte for the lady, your favorite."

"Spill your words and are you trying to make me have a sleepless night with that cup of coffee?" Nonetheless, I took a sip and mumbled to myself. "I could have been snuggling in the bed..."

"I heard you loud and clear Ms. Im."

"Did you even give him the chance to explain?"

"What is there to explain? I saw it with my eyes, heard it with my ears. There's nothing else he can do to make this any easier." 

"I remember telling you this, it's never going to be easy." Seungri sighed. "Jiyong is never good at expressing himself, especially during times like this, time when he is forced to the corner to make a decision. I know you know him since young, but trust me Yoong, he has changed. He would never be the same Kwon Jiyong from the past." 

"Things change Yoong. How can you expect him to stay the same when he, himself became a dad overnight?"

Right, everything he said hit the bulls-eyes. 

"You're avoiding Yoong. You
