“It’s been so long.” Luhan slapped the younger male’s shoulder.

“Yes, I thought you were still in China.” Kai nodded.

“I had to go home, but, you? Arent you supposed to be at Hong Kong?”

Kai smiled ruefully.

“I came back about a year ago and…..stayed somewhere.”

“Somewhere? Hiding from your parents?” Luhan grinned. Minah smiled at the two.

“Ah, right, Kai this is Lee Minah, Minah this is Kim Jongin, we met when we studied at China for a while, his family owns RK International Holdings.”

Kai shook her hand politely.

“Nice to meet you.” Minah greeted.

“Then, you studied with Kris and Lay too?” She asked.

“Yes, I did.”

“But, why are you appearing just now? Finally working?” Luhan teased, Kai smiled.

“Abeoji contacted me, well…” He shrugged.

Woori stepped out of the salon; her hair was now two inches shorter and a few shades darker. She was clad in a loose sweater and a pair of black leggings, she looked around the mall.

Her brows furrowed.

“I think I’ve been here.” She murmured, her frown deepening as she started to walk around.

She noticed a crowd gathering by the center.

“Shopping? Today?”

“You said you wanted roam around, so here I am.” He nodded.

“But, aren’t you busy?”

“Even if I told you I was, you’d still barge in my office.”

Woori flinched, everything was just a blur.

“….Noona?”

She looked up.

Taemin was taken aback, he had seen the familiar figure meters away from him, he sidestepped his manager and stepped closer to the figure.

She closed her eyes, as if feeling some pain. Then she started to look around.

“….Noona?” He called.

The girl turned to her, Taemin almost staggered back.

“Noona….no…It can’t be.” He blurted, the lady just looked at her curiously.

“Do….you know me?” She asked.

“Noona.” Taemin was about to approach her.

“Taemin-ah, come back here!”

The lady shrugged before turning away from him.

Kris and Lay watched as the filming started.

“Is he okay?” Lay murmured as Taemin was asked to redo his scene again.

“He seems to be out of it, let’s join Luhan and Minah.” Lay said, Kris nodded and walked with his cousin.

“Ma called me earlier, she’s asking if we had any plans on going home this year.” Lay said.

“Maybe it will do us good.” Kris replied, then he looked up.

“Ya, isn’t that Kai?” Lay blurted. Kai was talking on the phone, his side profile was still the same even from three years ago.

“It’s him,” Kris said, then a girl walked to him, her hair in a slouchy ponytail, Kai grinned before pulling her with him.

“Something weird happened today.” Woori said as they walked, Kai nodded.

“There was this person, he walked to me and called me noona.”

Kai chuckled.

“Ya!”

“Then did you talk to him?”

“Aniya…I didn’t get that chance to…he….seems…to be popular.”

“Right, I saw them doing some sort of commercial.” Kai nodded, Woori shrugged and just looped her arm around his.

Woori noticed a boutique that had huge stuffed toys on display.

“We should get that for Min~” Woori said as she started to let go of Kai.

“Ya, Kim Jongin!”

Kai turned and saw the two males walking to him.

“Zhang Yixing and Kris sunbaenim.”
