Slowly opening his eyes, Yuri slowly moved his eyes to his left and finds Jessica sleeping on the sofa with a blue blanket. His lips curved into a tiny smile automatically. He's relieved and happy that the first person he saw is someone so dear to him. But when he turned to his right, he finds Yoona sleeping on the sofa as well. He scoffs in disbelief. 

'I thought he doesn't want to stay in a hospital ever again? Tsk this choding.' He thought as he remembers the doe-eyed hate to go to the hospital since his mother had an accident before. 'Looks like I'm an exemption.' But he's flattered to see him by his side despite how busy he is saving his own company.

Suddenly the door opens and a nurse walked inside. His attention immediately shifted to her.

"Omo, you're awake, Mr. Kwon."

"Shshshshs..." He hushed her instantly as his eyes averted to Jessica. He sighs relieved to see her still asleep. 

"It's okay, I don't think she's going to wake up anytime soon. Anyway, let me check on your IV." The nurse proceeds with her job.

"Should I see my doctor?" He asked softly as the nurse also checks on his chest where his surgery was done. 

"Yeah, I'm going to tell him after this." The nurse smiled at him. "It's good to see so far. Don't move a lot, however, your surgery is still so fresh. Good morning by the way." she said before she left quietly. 

Yuri sighs softly as he tilted his head to his right again and smiles at her sleeping beauty. 'Were you that concerned to me? You looked like you've been up all night.' He could feel by the look of her face, she was in her deep slumber. 

Suddenly Jessica started moving, he quickly close his eyes and waited for a couple of minutes when he didn't hear any noise. He opened his eyes slowly and realized she didn't wake up at all. But as his eyes turned to his right—"Omo!" He gasped in surprise to see the doe-eyed standing on the left side, staring down at him emotionless. "You ing scared me!" he tried to hit him but he couldn't reach him.

Yoona snickers. "So you already woke up." 

"Yeah, you too, brother." 

"Did the nurse already check on you?" 

Yuri slowly nodded. "The doctor will be here later. By the way, why did you sleep here? Don't you have work today?"

"I really do have. But that would be in the afternoon. I want to company your girlfriend you know." Yoona replied as he grabs a chair nearby and take a seat near the hospital bed. "And I'm returning back the favor for what you have done to me back then."

"Tsk, you don't have to mention it."

"And we're friends... no we're brothers for life." 

Yuri rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Stop flattering me."

"I mean it." Yoona seriously said. "You know how I owe you whenever I am in my down times... you and Taeyeon hyung are the only people I really can depend on. I don't think I will be still here without you guys. I'm forever, grateful." he smiled genuinely afterward.

"I'm grateful also to be your big brother, Yoong. Remember I will always be here whenever you need help." Yuri softly replied as he smiled back at the doe-eyed. He's proud of the latter much to himself.

Yoona nodded gently before he shifted his eyes to Jessica. "Oh, Good morning Noona." He greeted the moment their eyes met. 

Jessica instantly shot up and rushed to Yuri's bed. "You're awake!" she exclaimed and dive to hug him.

"Ah!" Yuri however yelped in pain.

"Omo, omo, did I hurt you?"

"I'm still fresh from surgery, what do you think?" 

"Otoke, I'm sorry." Jessica was about to touch his chest when he grabs her wrist.

"Don't ever think about it." He warned seriously. Yoona chuckled from his seat. 

"I'm... I'm..." She can't help and shed some tears. "I'm just really so happy to see that... you're awake." She sniffles and wipes her tears.

"Noona, Hyung is such a strong person, it's not a surprise. He is built differently." said Yoona as he smiled amusingly.

"Yeah, I can see it." Jessica chuckled as she wiped the rest of her tears and gently grabs her boyfriend's hand. "You did a good job, baby." he softly and sweetly said.

Yuri smiled sweetly. "Thanks for not leaving my side." he softly replied, gently rubbing her hand.

Just then, the doctor came in with a nurse. 

"Oh, Noona, why don't we look for food?" Yoona immediately got up and suggested it.

"Like right now?" Jessica is hesitant.

"You guys go look for it while I talk with the doctor." Yuri agrees without a doubt.

"Oh yeah." Jessica awkwardly smiles and bowed to the doctor as she step aside. But she stayed and watch the doctor check on Yuri but the doe-eyed grab her shoulders immediately and drag her outside. "Aish, why do-"

"I feel like the doctor wants to talk to Hyung in private too. Don't worry, I'm sure it's just about the surgery and stuff." Yoona said and flashed an assuring smile.

Scoffing, Jessica decided to go with the younger. "Fine." Her stomach is grumbling either way and Yuri needs to be fed as well.

Just as Yoona placed his tray on the table, he heard his phone chimes which made him take it out from the pocket of his jacket before he take his seat. 

"I'll go ahead, Yoong." Said Jessica after she grabs her tray of food too.

"Yes, thanks Noona." He smiled at her before his attention returned to his phone. 

Seohyun♥: Good morning

He instantly snorted and blushed as he smile giddily. "She really keeps her promise, eh? Cutie." He wanted to squeal so bad but he ends up kissing his phone. And he hurriedly types his reply. 

Did you wake up thinking of me?

Seohyun♥: Is it obvious?

I think you just downloaded stickers thinking of me. 

Seohyun♥: Oh, how'd you know? I seriously have to ask Yihyun on how to add stickers and she immediately told me to buy it.

Is it cute?

He can't help and giggle. "Does she even know?"

Yes, you're the cutest.

Seohyun♥: So where's my good morning?

I already greeted you.

Seohyun♥: Where? I didn't read any. Or it didn't show here?

The last time I texted you in the morning and you didn't answer.

Seohyun♥: What? Are you kidding me, Im Yoona? >.<

He laughs at her response but eventually takes it back.

I was just kidding. Here's my sweetest gooood morning~♥

Seohyun♥: AAAAAAAACK~ ♥ Have you grabbed some breakfast?

I was just about to but you sent me a message.

Seohyun♥: Okay, let's talk later. Eat first. Love you~

Love you too my seohyunnie~♥

Smiling non-stop, Yoona started having his breakfast, doesn't know his cheeks are as red as a tomato. He's alone but he doesn't even feel that. His mind is pretty much occupied by the younger that it feels like she's with him.

Walking into his office after a short meeting with the financing department, Taeyeon was greeted by a blue small box on his executive table. He looked around his office but he didn't see anyone inside. He decided to open the box and found a bead bracelet and a small note.

"Wait, isn't this the same as Fany's?" He remembers the bracelet of his girlfriend and chuckles as he opens the note.

It's my token for your help during our festival.

Would love to see you wear it ^^

- Your cutie cousin Donghwi 

"This rascal." He gently picks up the bracelet and found the letters of his name on it. "Aigoo, it's cute." he didn't hesitate and wear the bracelet on his left since he has a wristwatch on his right. He grabs his phone on the side and takes a picture of it before sending it to his cousin.

Are you happy now?

Dongwhi: That's more like it. keke. Have a good day, hyung! 

He smiled and put aside his phone. However, he was greeted by folders before him. They're reports from each department of the bank and he has to check and sign them one by one. "Okay, this will be a long day." He said before grabbing his pen and starting his day in the office with some stress already.

Tiffany let out an exhausted exhaled after she talked to a customer on the telephone. It was a long conversation of her complaints and it just seriously dried . She grabs her tumbler and headed to their pantry where some employees are having their break. She didn't understand until she heard 'acting president' and 'cousin'.

"Who are... you guys talking about?" she got curious and asked them without warning.

"You're new, aren't you?" The one wearing a blue top asked her.

"Yeah, you could tell." She shrugged her shoulders and smiled. 

"He's basically the chairman's cousin and had been working at a different branch."

"Where was it again?"

"In Jeju. Since the current president is on leave, he had been assigned to take the empty position."

She nodded in understanding. "I see."

"What was his name again?"

"Lee Jong Suk." 

"Why does that sound familiar?" Tiffany asked when she heard it.

"He's a model, you probably have heard his name back then. I mean, he had a scandal with a singer, of course, he will be famous." 

The ladies giggle while Tiffany just smiles awkwardly. 'Now that explains.' She bowed a little and casually left them to return to her desk. She exhaled so loud again as she pouts cutely. She wanted to text Taeyeon but the latter told her earlier that he will be busy for the entire day. "At least I get to see him later." She shrugged it off and smile once again as she opens her computer. While everyone was on a break, she decided to open a movie site and was about to play it when their managing director suddenly barged in.

"Where's everyone?"

She hastily close the movie and got up. "On the pantry and some are in... the cafeteria, Sir." She said with a nervous smile afterward.

"Well, I guess I'll just take you with me, Ms. Young."

"Where?" She got confused.

"Follow me."

Hastily, she grabs her jacket and her sling bag before she follows to the lift. 

"I'm sure you've heard about the new appointee, right?"

"Mr. Lee?" 

"Yes." 

"What about him?" Her heart suddenly beats faster. She's not ready to meet someone that's above her yet. Not to mention, someone who's related to Yuri.

"We're greeting him." The managing director said and smiled at her.

"Chincha?" She doesn't know if she's going to believe it.

"Don't worry, we are joining the others. It's not like you're going to talk to him."

She let out a sigh the moment she heard it. "That's.. good to know." she smiled back briefly. 'And who am I to think I'm going to talk to him? Tsk, silly, Tiffany.' she said and chuckled lightly with herself. 

After a while, they reached the lobby, joining the other employees of the hotel. She was the last in the line, across from the managing director when another director arrived and handed her the bouquet of flowers.

"Yes?" She was surprised.

"You give the flowers to Mr. Lee, Ms. Young."

"Why me?"

"Because you're standing there."

She scoffed but doesn't have a choice and received. Her heart once again beats nervously and faster. 'Calm down, Tiffany. Calm the ing down.' She can't help and cursed in her head while waiting. And when the door finally opens, she holds her breath as she ready herself.

When the new president has finally reached the end of the line, she hastily bowed and handed the flowers. "Welcome to Seoul, Mr. Lee." she said and hastily regretted it because she didn't use his position title.

"Unbelievable." 

She was surprised when she heard it and she straightened herself right away.

"I don't like flowers." Jongsuk said coldly before he turns and leaves.

Tiffany loudly scoffed. "What the ? It's just flowers."

Everyone stares at her in surprise as Jongsuk has stopped from walking as well. She widened her eyes and wanted to apologize when the new president returned to her. 

"What did you just say?" Jongsuk raised his brows arrogantly. 

"Um... I-it's... n-nothing." She stammers as she can feel a cold sweat running down her head. 

Jongsuk chuckled sarcastically and he checks her name on her nametag before leaning into her ear. "Watch your mouth next time, Ms. Young. You might regret it." he muttered before he pulled back and smirk at her. 

Tiffany's too stunned to speak. Jongsuk just decided to leave together with the other directors. 

"What... kind... of person is that?" She literally exhaled so loud and started catching her breath while the other employees are returning to their jobs. She looked at the flowers and was about to throw them when she realized their managing director is watching. She smiled awkwardly as she hastily runs to the lift before it closes. "Aish, I better not see that face again." she punched the flowers in frustration.

However, when a message from Ji-Eun flashed on her screen, she got quiet.

Ji-Eun: Would you mind grabbing some lunch with me?

"Why... would she invite me for lunch?" She's confused and curious.

Seohyun had been waiting for Yoona in a park since she left early for her part-time job when she heard her stomach grumble. She check her time and it just strikes 1 pm, causing her to pout. The doe-eyed hasn't even answered her last message too. 

"It's either he's on the way or he's busy." mumbles her as she deeply sighs, looking at the river before her while kids are playing with dogs nearby. It brought a smile to her face instantly when the kids squealed. She grabs her phone and records the adorable kids but Yoona suddenly jumped in, startling her. "Yah!" she literally hit him on his stomach. 

"Did I make you wait that long?" chuckled Yoona as he took a seat next to her on the bench, smiling sweetly while handing her a bouquet of flowers and a box of pizza.

She scoffed in disbelief. "You can't buy me with that. What took you so long?" she sent him a death glare.

"I got stuck in traffic. You know the road on the way here is not easy. Come on, forgive me." Yoona moves closer and pecks her lips.

Grabbing the box of pizza instead, Seohyun peck on his lips back. "I'm hungry." She said as she got up and walk ahead of him.

"Wait for me." Yoona hastily caught up with her and held her free hand. He smiled sweetly at her while her eyes are looking for their place to have lunch. "You're so pretty, my Seohyunnie." he said earning a brief glare. He giggles and pinches her cheek.

After a while, they found the perfect place in front of a fountain. They bought a picnic mat, kimbap, and salad enough for both of them. 

"Is this your return after ditching me a whole day yesterday?" Yoona couldn't help and mention although he loves the idea of having a date in broad daylight.

"Nope, it's our first official date as a couple." Seohyun explained herself, flashing a sweet smile before she casually feeds him with a kimbap.

A big smile plastered the doe-eyed's face while he was munching the food. "I love this." He said feeling giddy inside. He picks up a kimbap too and feeds her. 

"Now we looked like a couple." She said as she giggle. Her cheeks blush in the process. 

"I never think you would think of this but... it's good to see that you're learning." 

"I search on the internet."

Yoona chuckled softly. "Are you serious?"

"I mean, it's my first time to date someone, I have to search on my own. Glad there's an internet." Seohyun proudly smiles.

'She's too innocent for this. Cutie.' Yoona's heart is melting as he smiled back at her. 

"So how's Yuri Oppa?" She asked when it crossed her mind.
