She’s warm enough despite the chilly morning.

She hears someone plunk his or her person down on the seat across her and she straightens up; the words at the tip of her tongue remaining where they are when she sees who it is.

“Hey.”

He still has the same twinkle in his eyes that she hasn’t seen for three years now.

“Hey.” The brunette greets back hesitantly, smiling once she’s finally recovered from her shock. “What are you doing here?”

“What does one do in a café?” Lee Donghae shoots back in amusement.

She rolls her eyes despite it all – despite the fact that a man she hasn’t seen in three years has suddenly plopped down on the bench in front of her, despite the fact that the said man has once been the Prince Philip to her Princess Aurora once up a time.

“Long time no see, oppa.”

“Too long.” He quips casually yet the meaning is still there.
