"Hey."
"Lei?" His eyes sparkled when he saw her leaning at the hood of his car.
Leira held out her hand to him.
Without hesitation, he kissed her hand softly. She felt heat rush to her cheeks as Seunwo just gave her his usual warm smile.
"I was asking for your car key, but this is fine too." She chuckled wholeheartedly.
He guided her to the car and close the door for her before sliding into the driver seat.
"You could just wait for me at home, Lei." He said when they sped away from the hospital. Leira shrugged.
"Well, I figured you would skip your dinner since you had to take the job last minute. Thought we could grab some late night snacks. Dakkochi?"
"Skewers sounds nice. Sorry I couldn't eat dinner with you." Seunwo hummed patting her head briefly.
"Kai finished the food that I made by the way. He even go out of his way, bringing the plate to his room so that I couldn't save some for you." Leira said apologetically. He just shake his head amused.
"That guy is something really."
Seunwo's amused smile stayed on his face and focused on the road. She took this opportunity to look at his side profile. He had his top button undone and his sleeves were rolled up to his elbows as he drove the car with one hand guiding the steering wheel.
A work of art if you ask her.
"Is everything all right?" His voice made her look away from his face.
Leira scrunched her nose knowing he had seen through her again.
"It's fine. Nothing to worry about. Yet."
"The 'yet' is very convincing. You can talk to me about it, Lei. Don't worry."
Leira shook her head slightly and leaned back to the seat.
"I just kind of miss you."
"Kind of?" He grew amused. Leira smiled playfully at him when he used his free hand to hold her's, lacing them together.
"Kind of."

"Face the wall, bones."
"Yes, sir o mighty." Kai said casually while eating his breakfast. Leira could only chuckle.
Ever since they got paired, Seunwo always find ways to annoy Kai when they're together. It made it seems like he's jealous if they were in the same room. She's actually enjoying this sight.
"Poor Kai but serves you right." Chae snorted.
"Thanks, Lee Chaerin."
"Your welcome, Kim Kai." She mocked him playfully making Hwiyun pulled her away from the doctor before they start barking at each other again.
Literally.
"How long are you guys going to stay in Japan?" Seunwo asked leaning back at the counter, casually.
"Maybe a day or so. Chae wanted to hang out with the girls but refuse to fly back alone so we're just going to enjoy Japan while we're there." Leira said putting on her large comfy cardigan.
"Tell Jenny I said Hi."
"You wish."
"Oh you better wish."
"Ok settle down, children." Seunwo said, putting his hand on Kai's head as Dohyon literally pulled Chae's head to face his chest to stop their bickering,
Chae playfully head butted his chin, earning a chuckle from him.
Being the sister of a very well known popstar, Chae got closed to a lot of celebrities and made some close friends out of it.
"In case non of you noticed, the flight is in 30 minutes." Hwiyun spoke up. Leira put a toast in his mouth before taking the last sip of her coffee.
She turned to the doctors and peace out.
"Aight, bye love you!" Leira kissed Seunwo cheek and jogged to the car.
"Love you too, yeobo!" Kai said jokingly making the boyfriend sighed and just watch the car drove away.
Leira shook her head, entertained by the male bluntness.
"That dude has a death wish, seriously."
"He might have to perform surgery on his own body if he keep this up." Hwiyun chuckled.

"Where is she?"
"You don't know where she is? Was that suppose to be a trick question, mom?"
"Wushin-"
"She's going to Japan for a concert." He sighed and continue reviewing the paperworks. The woman that was once his mother drained his energy by just being there.
"So do you know the guy?"
"Who?"
"The person Leira is seeing right now."
"Yes."
"Does he fit to our family background? Don't tell me Leira rejected a very respected man for a-"
"Our? Are you hearing yourself? Leave her alone, mom. You gave her enough stress by showing up." Wushin stopped her from finishing her sentence. Her face twitched at that.
"So he is not. Break them off. Pay him, I don't care, I would not let my daughter to be with a regular guy."
"You want me to bribe him to leave my sister? He's a surgeon, not a mere low class person." He looked at his mother dubiously.
"People get blinded by money, Wushin."
"Like you?"
His mother looked away when he said that right to her face.
"Stop barging to my office, asking me to do things. You left us and expect that we would welcome you after what you have done? Just be grateful that we still call you mom." Wushin grumble and pushed his hair back. He clicked on the intercom.
"Secretary Min, tell CJ Holdings that the meeting is pushed forward. I want this project to be done as soon as possible." He said and stood up from his seat.
"Wushin."
"Go home mom."
He looked at the photo of him and his sister on the desk briefly before leaving the office.

"Kai said Hi."
"Yah, Kim Leira. Why did you tell her~" Chae whined. Leira laughed while hugging the girls warmly.
'Hi back, I guess."
"Who's Kai?" Rossane asked. Jenny shrugged and looked at their friends. Leira was about to answer when Chae beat her to it.
"A very annoying, good looking doctor."
"Do you have a crush on him or something?" Jisu asked while fist bumping with Dohyon.
"Long time no see."
Dohyon gave her his usual teeth smile.
"A crush on him? No. I do want to crush him though." Chae rolled her eyes. Dohyon smiled subtly.
"Why?"
"No reason, sis. They have this weird friendship, I don't even get it." Leira said amusingly.
"What I don't get is you getting engaged and then not." A cheerful voice joined them.
"Life glitch Lily. " Leira hugged the girl.
"Oh right, I saw the article. Quite shocking." Jenny said taking a seat beside Rossane.
They were hanging out at a hidden cafe so that they wont be spotted by the celebrities' fans.
"Rich family indeed."
"Like you guys aren't." She snickered and look at the time.
"Its almost 5. Wanna go now?"
"Should we just wait until BIG7 turn?" Chae said evilly. Hwiyun sniggered.
"Talk about being biased."
"Come on, don't be rude." Leira laughed.
"You know what's even more rude?" Lily asked leaning to the table. Her face playful.
"What?"
"You guys ditching our concert for BIG7."
Dohyon laughed while Chae apologised to her friends sheepishly.
"Did you guys release a new song?"
"No."
"Exactly."
"You did not just say that!" Roseanne gasped while the others laughed.
