*THIRD PERSON POV*

"Long time no see Jinnie oppa" Minju said

"Mingguri?" Hyunjin asked

"Yep, I'm glad you still kept our last photo together before you moved" She said

"Yea..I couldn't forget about it, what a small world" He replied

"Indeed." She said

"Sit down, I got our drinks, I also have our pictures together kept in a box, would you like to see it?" He asked

"Sure, I would love to see them" She replied

While Hyunjin was getting the box, Minju said something.

"Anyways, where is your drink oppa? This is only one can." Minju asked

"Ah, I still have a diet going on and I am not really recommended to drink any soft drinks so yea" Hyunjin replied

"What a shame, but there are moments wherein you really want to drink them right?" She asked

"Of course, soft drinks are always yummy" He replied

"Here they are, I kept all of the pictures in this box, I clean it daily since I didn't want them to be destroyed" Hyunjin said

"Awhh that's so nice of you" She complimented him

They opened the box full of pictures. While looking at each one of them, it brings back their memories from the past wherein they would always hangout everyday like literally everyday.

  *YEARS AGO*

Minju's and Hyunjin's parents were very close with each other as the four of them were classmates. When either Minju or Hyunjin had a birthday, they would always celebrate it together. It was Minju's 4th birthday and that's where her and Hyunjin's friendship started. Hyunjin approached Minju first as he was older and didn't want make Minju awkward. They talked with each other and hung out with each other. Their parents were happy for them as they could be their mini selves. Everytime they would hangout, their parents would come with them for supervision as well as to take pictures for them. Each picture would have different poses. They even had nicknames for each other. Minju's nickname was "Mingguri" while Hyunjin's nickname was "Jinnie oppa" It was all going great not until Hyunjin and his family had to move to another place. Hyunjin was already 10 at that time and Minju was 9. They hung out with each other for the last time and took their last picture where the current Hyunjin placed on his bedside. It was sad for them both to not be able to see each other again and communicate with each other as they weren't allowed to have gadgets yet. However, even if they did they don't have each other's number. Their parents are still close with each other but time wasn't on their side.

*BACK TO THIRD PERSON POV*

"Waaa, I still remember seeing your tears when we were getting on the car." Hyunjin said

"I missed that neighborhood where we would always hang out with each other." She said

"What if we'll go back there one day?" He asked

"That would be wonderful! We just need to find the right timing." She replied

"Let's go out now, I'm pretty sure they'll be wondering why the door is closed." He said

"Sure" She agreed

*WITH THE MEMBERS*

"Ya, what took you guys so long to come out there" Bang Chan complained

"So? It's not like we are not allowed to do that bleh" Hyunjin replied while teasing Bang Chan

"What's more important, all of us are here." Eunbi said

"Ah Minju ya, didn't you say that you have a schedule at 3:00 pm? Shouldn't you go now?" Hyunjin asked while looking at his watch

"Ah right, I do have a schedule. Thank you for reminding me oppa, I should get going." Minju said

"Should I give you a ride there? My car is in the parking lot." Hyunjin offered

"No it's okay, my manager is probably waiting for me already. Thank you though." Minju said

"Ah alright, be safe and goodluck!" Hyunjin said

"Thank you oppa, I better get going everyone. Bye!" Minju said while waving at them and putting on her shoes.

"Bye Minju!" Everyone said in uniform

Minju had to leave early because of her schedule. Hyunjin was quite sad as they couldn't hang out more. However, he would just message her if he wants to. While everyone was talking with one another, Hyunjin just sat down and stayed quiet. He was waiting for Minju's reply as he messaged her. Stray Kids members noticed him and teased him. IZ*ONE was aware so they teased him too. Who knew that these two were childhood friends and got back thanks to Show Music Core and their companies. Moments after, IZ*ONE had to go back to their dorm as it was getting night time. Stray Kids then cleaned their dorm. Being the responsible leader he is, Bang Chan assigned members to do this and that. They were able to do it quickly as each members was cooperative. They decided not to eat dinner since they already filled their stomachs earlier and couldn't handle more. They washed up and went to sleep. But, not for this one member. That member is Hyunjin.

He was still awake since he still waited for Minju's reply. He understood that she was busy but he wanted to make sure that she is safe. It was already midnight yet she did not reply yet. He has no choice but to sleep as they have a busy schedule ahead. The only hope for him is to wake up with a reply from her.

It was morning time and he woke up praying that Minju replied to him. He has never waited for a reply like this before. He really wanted to know that Minju is still there. He was not fully concerned, he also missed her. It was like 30% concerned and 70% missed her. He does not know his true feelings towards her especially that he just knew she was the girl he kept on looking for. They have work together so he still has many chances to talk with her. When he woke up, he immediately checked his phone if there were any replies from her and her name popped up.
