With their little vacation over, Min-Jun and Suk-Chin had no time to relax, as they were tasked with the responsibility of being sole heirs to their parents' companies. The boys had to work for the entire summer, having no time for leisure. They constantly went on business trips as representatives for the companies. They were rarely in Seoul; many of their business trips required them to travel overseas.

One day after their busy work schedule, Min-Jun and Suk-Chin decided to meet up to have lunch.

"Ahh, Min Min, I'm tired." Suk-Chin plopped himself onto a chair.

"How do you plan on taking over the company if you get so easily tired whenever we do this?" Min-Jun pressed.

"You're just a masochistic workaholic; that's why you aren't phased," Suk-Chin snapped back.

He was met with Min-Jun's 'do you want to die?' look, but Suk-Chin was too tired to even flinch at his threatening glare.

"Let's finish eating so that we can get back to work,"Min-Jun relented in annoyance.

Suk-Chin sighed, slid down on the chair, and leaned his head back. He looked through the glass window and saw two familiar faces.

"Hey Min, look. Aren't those.....?"

He sat up, raising his head for a better look.
Min-Jun followed Suk-Chin's gaze and saw that it was Shanice and Alexis. Before he could say anything, Suk-Chin was already outside greeting the girls.
Min-Jun looked at the seat where Suk-Chin was, then looked outside. He did that about three times.

"That punk moves so fast - he's almost supernatural when it comes to avoiding work." He thought to himself before getting up and going outside.

"Shanice! Alexis!"

The girls turned around to see Suk-Chin.

"So a weh the other one deh?" said Shanice. "You've never seen one without the other."

Alexis agreed by nodding her head wholeheartedly.

"So, what are you lovely ladies doing here? Are you out shopping?" he asked, out of curiosity.

Shanice cheupsed. "Yuh too dyam fa- "

"It's my birthday today, so we're just perusing the city a little," interrupted Alexis, covering Shanice's mouth.

"Oh! It's your birthday?!" Happy Birthday, Alexis!"

Suk-Chin opened his arms wide to give Alexis a hug. He was halted in his tracks as Shanice pushed him away forcefully. At this point, Min-Jun walked up behind Suk-Chin, almost colliding into him.

"You just came out here, and already you're causing trouble," said Min-Jun with a look of disdain.

Suk-Chin smiled wryly, rubbing his stomach.

"The dynamic duo, 'Quaco' and 'Shut," mocked Shanice, laughing at her wit in paraphrasing the Jamaican proverb.

"Why are you in suits?" Suddenly, the girls were realizing how they were dressed.

"We're working at our parents' companies nearby," responded Min-Jun.

"Yeah, that's why you haven't seen us much during the summer. It's rather time-consuming," Suk-Chin added.

"Oh." Shanice and Alexis gave each other a sideways glance.

"Well, y'all look kind of decent for the first." Said Shanice.

"Was that a compliment??" asked the shocked Suk-Chin. Even Min-Jun wore a surprised expression. Shanice, seeing their reactions, immediately kissed her teeth. Alexis laughed and shook her head. Min-Jun smiled at her.
