Seungwan walks casually to the bookstore at KS Hypermarket to buy the new comic series that he collects. He doesn't want the stock sold out before he get a copy so as soon as he finds out that the comic is available at the bookstore, he quickly makes a move.

He slowly gets over his issue with Eunbi. Irene already confronts Eunbi about the issue but the younger woman is not answering her. Before it was too late, Seungwan decided to stay away.

“Good day, Mr. Son” the sales assistant greeted him with a friendly smile since he is one of their regular customers lately. Besides, they know Seungwan as CEO Kang assistant

“Good day. I came to buy the latest comic series that I usually buy. Is it still available?”

“Yes sir, we still have plenty of copies. Thankfully you come early so it not sold out yet”

“That’s good then. I go grab mine now” Seungwan skipped to the comic section to grab his target

He smiled with excitement as he finally found the one that he wanted. He quickly took one from the shelf

“I got you!” he squeal

Before going to the cashier counter, Seungwan decided to take a walk around the bookstore just in case he found an interesting book to read. As he walked to the novel section, Seungwan saw a petite woman who looked immersed in the book that she currently holds. She ignore everyone who walk behind her due to her focus on the book

“Beautiful” Seungwan mumbled. He takes baby steps approaching the woman. As he come closer, he try to take a peek to see what kind of book that stole her whole attention

‘Oh, that book’ Seungwan said mentally when he recognized the book. The book that she currently reads is written by one of Seungwan sister's favorite authors. According to his sister, it is the new novel that released by that author

Slowly Seungwan move closer to her side and pick one of the book “Hello there” he brave himself to talk to her

The woman tilted her head to look at the stranger beside her “Are you talking to me?”

Seungwan look to the woman’s back then smile mischievously “Yes, I talk to you”

She stares at Seungwan intensely and makes him back off a bit “By any chance, do I know you?”

Seungwan suddenly has cold sweat due to panic. It’s not fun if he scolded by a woman just because randomly throwing a joke

“I…I think…we don’t know each other” Seungwan waving his trembling hand

She corners Seungwan until he bumps into the bookshelf. Luckily no one else around them so Seungwan still can save himself from embarrassment

“But I think I know you” she said

“Err…really?”

“Son Seungwan, isn’t it?”

“How do you know me?”

“Your face all around the news”

“Really?” Seungwan eyebrow knitted

“You’re executive at KS Group so no one don’t know you” she say casually

Seungwan grin after that “I’m not that popular though” he scratch his back head

“You don’t remember me?”

“We used to meet before?” Seungwan stare at the woman curiously

“Yes but it was during high school. I’m your junior that time while you and your current boss are final year student”

“Aigoo, please enlighten me. I seriously don’t remember” Seungwan rubbing his forehead

“Rosanne Park also known as Rose. We’re members of a music club. Both of us used to duet during our school annual festival” she introduce herself to Seungwan

Seungwan cackles “Oh my God, Rosanne. I’m sorry I don’t remember you” he bow politely make Rose laughing seeing his antics

“It’s okay, oppa. It has been a few years since we met so it is understandable if you don’t remember me. I saw you and CEO Kang on TV and I feel familiar. Then I check our yearbook, I find out that you’re my high school senior. By the way, can I still call you oppa?”

“Of course, you still can call me oppa. We’re old friends after all. I’m so happy to see you again”

“Me too, oppa”

“Em, are you free now? Can we catch up?”

“Sure thing, I’m free. I come here to buy something to read since I read all books that I bought last time” say Rose

“Is it okay…I mean your boyfriend? What if he sees us?” Seungwan rub his nape

Rose giggled “I’m single so no worry. No one will scold you if you go out with me”

“Alright, let’s pay for our books then go to coffee shop” both of them walk to the counter to pay for their books then Seungwan bring Rose to one of the coffee shop at the mall

Somewhere is Seoul, the visual couple hanging out at tteokbokki shop. Irene is craving for her favorite food so Seulgi takes her to hunt for the food. Irene finished almost half bowl of tteokbokki while Seulgi eating his favorite jjajangmyeon

“Aigoo, craving satisfied” Irene said after drink a glass of water

“If we’re married, I will think that you’re pregnant judging from how big is your appetite” Seulgi commented

“I always like that if I not eating my favorite food for too long”

“We just eating tteokbokki before we go to Daegu, honey”

“I know but it feel like forever”

Seulgi gave in to the argument “Next week is KS anniversary which means appa will announce our engagement party. Are you ready for it?”

“I’m preparing myself mentally and physically. I hope everyone accept it well”

“I hope so. Besides, no reason for them to not accept the truth. Nothing wrong if we’re together. It not like I’m stealing you from someone else”

“You’re right but gossip can come out from any direction. Sometimes the things that never happen can become the topic. You know, people tend to make their own conclusion without knowing the truth”

“Don’t mind them. As long as you and I are not doing wrong things, it will be okay. I will make sure no one verbally abuses you after the news comes out. The rumormonger will get into the hot soup if they dare to do something bad to you” Seulgi say calmly

“You’re so scary” Irene rolled her eyes

“I can’t help it” Seulgi laughing

“By the way, I didn't hear from Seungwan today. Usually he is noisy in our group chat”

“Seungwan is busy running after his favorite comic series before it sold out”

“I’m glad that he went back to the old Seungwan. I feel sorry for him. We really can’t get the reason from Eunbi. Yongsun tries to ask her but still fails. Eunbi suddenly become secretive”

“Is she still talking with both of you like usual?”

“Yes, we talk like usual. Eunbi looked fine too. Yongsun said just let them settle their own problem”

Seulgi nods his head “Solar noona is right. Let's just let them be. We can’t involve too much in their personal matters. Seungwan emotion is in good state now is enough for me”

“Okay”

“We should go now to meet Baek hyung and Kyungsoo hyung to discuss about catering for our engagement”

“Alright, let’s go”
