Henry got off the cab grabbing his duffle from the backseat and running in the airport. His passport was in the side pocket of his duffle and he went straight to the counter. He was very determined to get to Korea the fastest way he can. Henry was panting a bit when he got to the counter. He smilingly greeted the attendant at the counter.
“Hi” He nicely greets.
“Good Evening” The lady greeted the handsome customer in front of her. “Ticket to where Sir?” she asked acting cutely.
“Destination is Seoul” Henry answers the girls question.
“Business trip?” she asked.
Henry paused and smiled. “Have you ever been in a situation where what you wanted was already in front of you but you let it go?”
The lady smiles “Let me guess… This is a loved one we are talking about?”
Henry did not answer the girl and just smiled. With that silent gesture the girl knew the answer. Sometimes a smile can express love and there is no need to say it. “You go get her Sir!” she encouraged the lad. “Just one ticket Sir?” The lady asked
“Make that two…” Both the lady and Henry heard before Henry can answer the attendant’s question. Henry looked behind him
“Hyung! What are you doing here? Henry asked
“Should I make it two now?” the lady asked before she confirms the tickets. Henry again was puzzled of why Donghae is standing before him. “Yes” He blankly replied to the girl, He leaves the desk and approaches the older just meters away.
“Hyung, What-why-huh?” Henry was really cannot think of reasons why the older is in th airport the same time as him.
“I was supposed to get back to New York today, But then I saw you…”
“You are going to Seoul with me?” Henry asked
“What again did I say the last time? And besides you might need a hard beating again” Donghae laughed “why are YOU flying to Seoul?”
“I’m flying back to see my dad” He reasoned. Henry can’t look straight at Donghae when he replied to him
“Liar!” Donghae uttered, He knows that the younger was just reasoning…
“Say whatever you want, you can think whatever too” Henry defensively replied.
“You really are a good kid Henry, the reason why I like you for my Only sister. But sometimes you are just so dumb! Really dumb!”

Sungkyu got off his car and walked in their finally taking shape dance studio. The contractors are doing the last finishing touches with the paint job and mounting the mirrors on the wall. He stood in the middle with the proud and fulfilled look on him.
Myungsoo arrived giving him a light nudge, “Hyung the place is getting in shape.” He said with a satisfied smile
“Yeah once this place is done we can start promotions” Sungkyu said. Then a rowdy bunch of boys came running in the studio and admiring the place.
“OOOOHhhhh so this is it huh?” SungYeol says as he jumps around excitedly like a kid in a candy store.
“yup… This is it.” Myungsoo just smiled.
“So this is the new hang out place then?” Woohyun says as he checks himself out at one of the mirrors that was being mounted.
“Sort off. Lets say you’ll be staying here most of your time.” Sungkyu states and smiles.
The two boys looked at Sungkyu with confused faces
“How’s the job hunting? Any luck?” Myungsoo asked
“Still the same.” Woohyun replies dismayed.
“Should I say if we don’t get a job by next week we are screwed?” SungYeol exclaims.
“Really?” Sungkyu just uttered monotonously. “You’re not screwed. Trust me”
“Hyung, do you know the trouble we have been through just to get jobs?” Woohyun reasons “They say that we are too skinny, or to white or
too I dunno. We have heard the weirdest reasons why they won’t hire us. “
“… And there was this one guy said He won’t hire us because he likes us too much!” Sungyeol butted in “What kind of reasoning is that. If he liked us why didn’t he hire us instead of that duffus he got! PFFT!”
Sungkyu laughed.
“Hyung! Don’t be like that.. you should be comforting the unfortunate animal being like us. The Pig and the Tarsier are unemployed. Nothing to eat. Poor creatures~ Those are the kinds of things that you should be saying right now.” Woohyun saying
Myungsoo also started to chuckle with the crazy remarks that the two just said.
“I said your not screwed right?” Sungkyu paused as he looked at the two kids that does not have a single clue whats in for them “you’re not
screwed because you both are hired. And so is Hoya, Dongwoo and Sungjong too”
The two kids eyes widened. Both are really pleased with what they heard. Finally they would be able to cope with their expenses and school.
Sungyeol and Woohyun both hugged the older at the same time. Myungsoo was looking at them at first and also walked to them and joined the group hug.

Donghae and Henry’s Plane landed Seoul. The passengers of the plane started unfastening their seatbelts when the airplane went on full stop. Donghae stood up immediately and got off the plane ahead of everyone after the door opened. They both headed for the arrival area to get their luggage.
At the Arrival area conveyor Henry was looking for his duffle. Donghae has already found his and turns away from henry. Henry was pre occupied with getting his luggage Donghae dials a number while Henry watched him from a distance. “Hello” Donghae says on the Phone.
“Im in town, I think its time to have a little fun before we get into business.” He says to the person on the other line.
Minutes later….
Donghae walks back to Henry “Hyung, Who was that?” Henry asked from a distance as he pulled his duffle which he just saw coming his way from the pile of bags on the conveyor.
“Why do you want to know?” Donghae hissed “Are you curious if I called Amber?” He teased “Mind your own business kid. I don’t remember you being this nosey before. And I have other reasons why Im here.” He then walks away and leaves Henry with the responsibility of taking
his luggage.
“Okay.. Okay… Sheesh!” Henry reacts “Hyung!” he called out the older “Can I stay wherever you are staying?
“What if I say that Im staying at Amber’s place…”
“You wouldn’t” Henry says “You would not stay there that is for sure.”
Donghae looks at Henry blankly. Henry gets uneasy with Donghae not saying anything or giving him an answer. “Hyung don’t joke around like that. Im not ready to meet her yet.” He thought. Well He’s not ready to see how she would be once he shows himself to her. After all she was the one who pushed him away. He called her after he left countless times. But she did not answer. She ignored him. Even his
Facebook messages and emails was also ignored. The only way he knew about how amber is doing is through Kim Heechul
“Okay okay…” Donghae then burst out laughing at Henry “You should have seen your face kid” he continued laughing as he walked ahead of the younger.
--------
When they both reached the Exit there was a lad leaning back on the post. Wearing casual jeans, shirt and a baseball cap the guy walked towards their direction “Hey long time no see!” Sungmin greeted the boys who arrived.
Donghae immediately introduced the two boys to each other.
“Henry this is Sungmin” Donghae introduces as Sungmin extends his hand for a friendly handshake
“Nice Meeting you Im Henry” He smiles.
Sungmin looks at Donghae puzzled. “Is he?”
“Yep! That’s him” Donghae nods and Sungmin had this bright and slightly evil idea,
“Huh? What about me?” Henry wondered what Sungmin knew about him
Suddenly Sungmin just spoke to Henry “If you let her go can i---“ he paused.
Donghae observed the younger’s reaction. Henry was attacked off guard, He faced a very unexpected and unwanted question.
“can you what?” The younger asked
“Date her! Duhhhh!” Sungmin laughs
Amber’s older brother was entertained of how tortured Henry was. Henry’s face shifted from friendly to stone cold. He was already clenching his fist and acting unaffected.
But sungmin continues laughing “Only if she is not my cousin!” he said as he put his arms around the younger laughing even harder.
Henry looked like a lost kid. The young lad found a little enlightenment “She’s your cousin?” he asks in relief
Sungmin nods “Im just playing with yah kid.” He smiles. “Donghae was right. You can be fooled easily”
Donghae looks back to them “Lets continue the chitchat at home…” he said as he walked towards his cousin’s car. He opened the car door and slid in the passenger seat leaving all his belongings to the younger to bring.
“Hyung” Henry shouts to Donghae as he struggles to bring all the baggage. “your luggage!” he screams louder but Donghae cannot hear him from inside the car. Donghae looks at him smiles and gives him two thumbs up sign from inside the car to ask if he is okay.
Henry was glaring at Donghae from afar as he dragged the bags to the car. “Bully” He grumpily huffed.
----------------------
The aroma of freshly brewed coffee invited the young lad to come in. The young boy walks in the shop and friendly smiles greeted him. He walks the path towards the counter and a young lady smilingly asked him what he needs. Sungkyu is in Amber’s favourite Doughnut shop which is actually just across her office. and He went there for a purpose.
He smiled at the pretty young lady. She shook his hand and she stood up. She flips her hair back and fixed some of the dangling ones behind her ears neatly. She then pulls the lad to the direction of the door which lead to the back office.
After a few minutes, he walks out of the back office and went straight to the farthest table of the shop. He waited patiently and anticipated for the girl to come back.
----------------
Amber looks at her watch and starts fixing her stuff. She shoved her I pad and her trusty blackberry insider the stylish brown leather bag. Krystal walks in and stood by the door without amber noticing.
“leaving the office early?” Krystal asks “I wonder…”
Amber looked at her bestfriend with a clueless expression “You wonder what?”
Krystal walked towards ambers desk. Each sound of her heels on the wooden floor rose the nervousness for amber in waiting for the
answer to the question. Krystal sat on the edge of the table smiles and fiddles with some of Amber’s stuff on the desk “Im wondering… “
She paused again. “Are you dating him already?” She abruptly asks
Krystal sees amber swallowing her saliva before she answered her unexpected question. Amber looks at Krystal and answered her calmly
“Sungkyu and I are just friends Krystal” She responed
“Oh really? But let me ask you this….” Krystal paused as she watched amber getting more uneasy “Do you like him?”
Amber goes defensive this time “What do you mean? I like him.. I like him as a friend.”
Krystal gets up from her seat “Whatever you say amber” She said as she walks toward the door, and before she walks out Krystal paused from her pace and looked back at her friend “You’ll tell me right?” she said in a serious tone. “You know amber, it’s you who chooses to miserable or happy. You make the decision.”
----------------------------
She opened the door and the chimes sounded. The smell of the freshly raised doughnuts and brewed coffee greeted her senses and enticed her appetite. She sees sungkyu on the far end of the shop. He sees him smiling from afar. He was excited to see her. She walks towards his direction. He stands up and pulls the chair across his seat.
“Hi.” She greeted as she took the seat facing the window. She lays down her office bag below the table. “so what should we get?” She asked.
Sungkyu looked really delighted that the girl arrived. “I got that taken cared of” he smiles and his eyes cutely disappeared again.
The fragrant smell of the freshly brewed coffee came closer and closer as the crew of the doughnut shop approached their table to bring in their order. The lady sets two cups of coffee. She looked up the server and smiled “Thank you”
The server then set the doughnuts which willed the whole plate last on the table. They were glazed with red strawberry glazing which smelled really deliciously. But that is not all. The succulent mini doughnuts were made as letters and spelled the words “I like you Amber”
Amber was surprised with what she read and looked at the handsome lad in front of her “But why?”
“I like you Amber and I think I am falling in love with you” Sungkyu reached for the girl’s hand “If you will ask me of all the reasons why I like you. One day would not be enough. Would you give me the chance to tell you and show you why I like you?” he sincerely uttered.
Amber was lost for words. She did not expect this from Sungkyu. Even though the lad reminds her a lot about Henry. She took a deep breath. She cannot give him an answer that fast. Inside her heart she knows she still holds on the one who is away. Although she is uncertain if
Henry is the same with her. If he still remembers her or worst , if he has moved on and has another in place of her. She cant say yes to Sungkyu. She does not want to love him just because he greatly reminds her of Henry.
She looks out the window and for a slight moment and saw someone she thought who looked really familiar. The guy who passed by looked like her brother. And with that guy was this guy wearing a shirt with a cute print and a cap. “am I seeing things again?” She thought and uttered to herself.
“Huh?” Sungkyu was puzzled.
“Oh I thought I saw someone familiar.” Amber smiled to Sungkyu.
