"Totally bet he saw her already."

"Yeah, he was away yesterday. Probably to see her."

Jake and Jay exchanged pleasantries by gossiping about Sunghoon who was working on his desk, casually looking at the papers piled up in there and signing.

"I heard she's supposed to come home yesterday..."

"Yes and coincidentally, our vice chairman here actually had an appointment on the same airport where she landed."
Jake put solid emphasis on the word coincidentally, glancing at Sunghoon with a side eye.

"Coincidences.. lovely, ain't it?"
Jay can't help it but to chuckle and shake his head.

"Are you two talking about me?"
Sunghoon's gaze went towards them from his computer, a cold yet blank stare was given towards the two.

"No, vice chairman-nim."
Jake faked a formal tone, totally telling him they are indeed talking about him. Sunghoon sighed and shook his head, gazing back to his work on his computer screen.

"You've been slumping yourself on your desk since you came back from the airport, Sunghoon-ah."
Jay told him, taking the can of cola on the desk and taking a sip on it before continuing, "I can see you're working your ass off just to forget a certain someone, yet again."
He smirked, Sunghoon stopped signing the paper on his desk and just stared at it for a brief moment.

"Forget who?"
He asked, looking at Jay. Jake let out a small chuckle.

"Oh he suddenly forgot her, seems like overworking works indeed."
Jake laughed, getting a high five from Jay who also cackled from his joke.

"I'm serious, who do I need to forget?"
Sunghoon looked at the two, his thick eyebrows crossing because of confusion.

"If i would say her name I know you'll throw me out of your office."
Jake chortled.

"Say it. Who?"

"Don't you know someone named Lee Sh-"

"Who we are talking about here, boys?"
Jake was cut after the door opened and a blonde girl on tight skirt and cropped suit suddenly barged inside.

Jake zipped his mouth shut as Hera look at him with her eyebrows raised, walking towards Sunghoon while looking at the two.

"Hi, Love."
She greeted Sunghoon, holding his cheeks for a soft kiss on the lips. Sunghoon did not reacted and kissed her, earning a smile from Hera.

Two years had past... 24 months is a huge time for everything to change.

"Will you have another meeting tonight? We can have dinner outside or you know... We can just stay at your house."
She meddled with his tie playfully, Sunghoon stopped continued working while Hera is next to him.

"I'll make a reservation later."
He said without even looking at her. Hera gave him a bright smile before nodding her head.

"Then that's that. Do you still need my help? I'll go to my photoshoot now."
Sunghoon shook his head as the only answer he could give Hera. The other two were silent, cringing with their relationship.

"I'll see you later then, Love..."
Hera was about to walk towards the door when Sunghoon's assistant suddenly barged inside the room.

"Vice Chairman? There's someone on the lobby asking for you."
