2. Too Late

Born To Beat: One Shot Collection

“Are you sure that this was all that came in?”

Jade was literally about to pull out her hair out from the stress of this photo shoot. Working for MCM and Joyrich had it’s benefits, yes but

it was hell trying to get everything over to the location.



“Yes, this is everything.” The stylist was also frustrated, how was she going to dress the boys with a limited amount of stuff?

“Now I have to call them!”, she let out a sigh and pulled out her phone.

“I don’t like yelling at people unnie.” she frowned, dialing the numbers.



The stylist chuckled, “It’s okay, they’ll have to understand that you’re under a lot of pressure here.”

Jade nodded, “I’ll be back in a minute.” She walked out of the room.



“I only got one rack of clothes, and that’s just the shirts and some sweaters. I really hope they don’t want these boys bare from the waist

down.” Jade, spoke into her cell phone.

“We had a slight problem with the delivery, they’ll be there shortly Miss Jade.” answered her assistant.

“I hope so, for both our sakes.” she blew her bangs out of her face.



“Jade?”

Her head turned abruptly, he stood there a puzzled look on his face. hung slightly open, shocked that she would see him

here.

“I’ll call you later.” she said and hung up.

“Peniel?” she raised her brows.

“I knew it was you.” he smiled, quickly hugging her.



Still in shock, she slowly hugged him back.

“What are you doing here?”, he asked as he let her go.

She blinked, “Uhm-Sorry.” she chuckled, “I’m in charge of making sure that the clothes idols use for their shoots gets here and

apparently my boss wants to see this group…B to B, without pants.” she joked.

He laughed, “I’m part of that group.”



“What?” she smiled, “You’re an idol?”

He nodded proudly, “Congratulations!” she patted his shoulder.

“Yeah, well I couldn’t have done it without you.” he admitted shyly.

“You’re the one who encouraged me the most.”

Jade felt a blush creep up on her face, “But you’re the one who did all the work. You’re parents must be so proud.”



“They are.” he chuckled, “So, how have you been?”

Suddenly the weight of the ring on her finger increased. She wasn’t allowed to have these feelings for Peniel anymore. They broke up

years ago when he left to train.

“Uhm.” she hesitated. “I’m engaged.” She held up her hand, showing the three princess cut diamonds sitting on a silver band.



It was like a blow to the stomach. “What?!” he tried putting on a smile, “That’s…that’s great. When’s the big day?”

“May 3rd.” she answered.

He raised his brows, “That’s….wow, that’s really close.”

She nodded, pressing her lips together, “It is.” she looked down.



“Looks like someone beat me to it.” he joked bitterly.

Jade sighed, “Peniel-”

“I’m just kidding Jadey.” he ruffled her hair, “But really, he’s a lucky guy.”

“Thank you.” she said softly.



“Miss Jade!” The stylist called out, “The clothes have arrived~”

“Hyung! They need us in make-up!” A boy ran to Peniel’s side.

Jade motioned that she would be there in a minute.

“Oh are you a new stylist noona?” Ilhoon’s eyes sparkled.



“Aniyo.” Jade chuckled, “I’m not.”

“Oh.” he frowned.

“Ilhoonie, this is an old friend of mine.” Peniel’s eyes never left her. “Back when I lived in Chicago.”

“Annyeonghaseyo, Jung Ilhoon inmida. It’s nice to meet you noona~” he smiled.

“Annyeonghaesyo.” she introduced herself.



“I should get back to work.” she met eyes with Peniel.

As Ilhoon looked at Peniel his smiled slowly faded.

“It was nice meeting you Ilhoon.” she smiled.

“Huh?” he turned his attention back to her, “Oh, it was nice meeting you too.”

Peniel broke out of his trance, “It was good seeing you again.” he gulped, taking a step towards her.

 

Jade put her hand on his shoulder, “Likewise.”

He hugged her tightly, “I hope your wedding day is nothing less than perfect.”

She held back her tears, “Thank you Peniel.”

They pulled apart and she gave him one last smile before turning away.



Peniel sighed as she entered the room.

“Was she special to you hyung?” Ilhoon asked quietly.

“She was.” he put his hands in his pockets.

“Well maybe you can win her back!”, the younger boy said with a smile.

He shook his head, “No. I’m too late.” he his heel, “Come on, they need us.”
