A couple of days later, Joy was sitting in an empty cafe waiting for someone with two cups of coffee in her hand. It was a Wednesday morning. She glanced at the door and checked her phone nervously. Just then, her phone buzzed with a message from Sungjae.

Sungjae: Hey Sooyoungie, how's practice going?

Joy: Good, our comeback is in a few months so we have a lot to prepare now

Sungjae: Hwaiting!! What's the title track gonna be?

Joy: It's quite different from our normal songs, it's called Zimzalabim!

Sungjae: Huh? Zimzalabim? What is that? It sounds like some kind of foreign language

Joy: No!!! It's a word you use to cast a magical spell, kinda like abracadabra

Sungjae: Oh wow, that's interesting, can I hear it yet?

Joy: I'll let you hear it when it's been finalized, so what about you oppa? What are you doing?

Sungjae: I'm preparing for my 326 project~ 

Joy: Ooooh you're gonna become a solo artist soon

Sungjae: That's right!! Your man is gonna be a solo artist, urghh and I also have a bunch of drama scripts to read, I still have to choose which drama I wanna do...

Joy: Aigoo my boyfriend is gonna become a very busy man soon

Sungjae: You got that right, I need to work harder, I've been too inactive lately

Joy: Good thing we're living together now, so at least I'll get to see you at home everyday

Sungjae: Yup, by the way, are you coming home for dinner tonight? 

Joy: Yup, I'll be home at around 8pm I think

Sungjae: Cool, what do you wanna eat? I'll pick it up on my way home

Joy: Umm... Sushi?

Sungjae: Alright, I'll get manager hyung to go buy some later then

Joy: Okay thanks oppa~ See you tonight!

Sungjae: See you tonight~

Joy smiled and put down her phone. When Joy looked up from her phone, she quickly waved at the door as someone walked in. 

Joy: Peniel oppa!

Peniel sat down across from Joy and thanked her as she handed him a cup of iced coffee. 

Joy: Thank you for agreeing to come out and meet me, I'm sure you had better things to do

Peniel: Oh no, I'd do anything for you and Sungjae, speaking of which, how are you two doing? 

Joy: We're doing okay

Peniel: So what was it that you wanted to talk to me about?

Joy: Well, it's about what happened a few days ago... I heard you were with Sungjae oppa that day, and I really want to know what happened

Peniel: Right... Couldn't you just ask him yourself? I don't think I'm in the position to disclose any information...

Joy: I tried asking him, but he wouldn't tell me anything...

Peniel: Well if he doesn't want you to know, then... I don't think I should be telling you about it

Joy: Please... I know something happened to him, how did you two lose your phones, how did he get injured, how did the producer suddenly get arrested... There are so many unanwered questions from that night, but he refuses to tell me whenever I ask him about it... I know you have the answers, could you please tell me? I'm so confused and I can't just accept that it all happened without a proper explanation...

Peniel: Look, all I can tell you is that there's nothing you need to be worried about, the only reason Sungjae is keeping this from you is because he cares about you and wants to protect you, he doesn't want anything to hurt you and just wants
