Her eyes widened when he was an inch close, able her to feel his soft breathing on her face, setting her heart to jump out of in any moment if he was to move any closer. She dared herself to look up and she did with her gazing deeply into his eyes at such close distance. It was like spell casted on her, made her yearned for the desirable lips and curious to know how it tasted like. It was driving her crazy.

Never once did he waver even when she locked gaze with him. He longed to kiss the sweet lips of hers and just by moving a bit closer he would be able to do it. The mission was an excuse he made to achieve what he desired. This moment was extraordinary to both as if it was a dream world which allowed them to express freely and opened up their inner feelings.

A sharp ringtone woke them up and reality hit them hard which torn them apart.

“It’s Hara,” Hyunseung spoke as he held up Junhyung’s phone that was placed on the table.

Upon hearing the name, it brought Jihyun back and made her realized the situation. She blinked and slowly shifted her head away from Junhyung as he too, leaned back and got back to his seat. Everyone couldn’t get hold of what happened between the two as only both of them knew what they went through, their inner conflict.

“Of course.” Jihyun opened a bottle and gulped it down . Staying sober wasn’t what she wanted.

Though Yeonhee was surprised, she knew what Jihyun was going through as she witnessed the scene earlier. Following her footstep, she drank from the bottle instead of using the small cup.

“I heard that Jaejoong came and visited the studio?” Yeonhee began.

Jihyun merely nodded as she continued with the drinks in her hand.

Yeonhee scoffed and drank another mouthful of soju. “He’s such an insecure person. To think he flew all the way to Korea just to check on you. Doesn’t he should have confidence in you??”

Jihyun stopped and stared at Yeonhee to make sure what she heard was right. “Unnie, you know about…”

“Yes. I knew about your story.”

“Then why didn‘t you…”

“So what if I tell you or you get back your memories on your own. Does it make a different?” Her tone was harsh as if accusing her of something. “What are you trying to do?”

“I don’t understand.” Jihyun raised her voice a little louder. “It’s you. What are you trying to get across?”

“Are you going to leave Jaejoong and go back to him? You
