Still on the same day. Eight o'clock at night, precisely at the venue for the welcoming of the new executive chef. Namely chef Jung Jaehyun; handsome chef graduate of the best University in France majoring in tourism.

Yes, La Bosseade is not just a name for restaurants in the Gangnam area. However, it is also for the Bar that is located right inside the building.

The atmosphere looks so crowded. Many came, not only employees and chefs who worked at La Bosseade restaurant. Outside people are also allowed to attend.

Many employees bring their friends or partners at the event. In fact, not only the welcoming of new executive chefs but also the annual routine so that the cohesiveness of the employees is maintained.

"Congratulations on your achievement chef" said one La Bosseade employee.

Jaehyun just nodded while plucking his finger on the table. Really, something like this was very much avoided. However, where can he refuse after being invited by the restaurant employees who have prepared all this.

From the side, Johnny the restaurant manager approached the young man. "Hi Jae, you came too, right?" sapana.

"Hm" said Jaehyun.

Johnny sat on a chair at the mini bar —just next to Jaehyun.

"Come on Jae, just enjoy the show. You are also better able to know all your work partners. They will all work with you for a long time" Johnny said, patting Jaehyun's shoulder gently.

The young man nodded lazily. He just did not want to respond to Johnny's words, because if the man had commented it would not have stopped.

"One hard cider" Johnny told the bartender.

Jaehyun glanced at his best friend. "You sure you drink that? Tumben once, usually also white wine or whisky," he protested.

"I have to stay awake, because tomorrow there's a lot of work waiting for me at the restaurant" Johnny said, sighing.

Jaehyun smiled at his smile. "Is that busy?" the murmur that Johnny didn't hear.

I mean, on the other side. Jeno just parked her car in Aya's yard. He asked the girl to come with him tonight.

How Aya could refuse, Jeno forced her and would complain to her mother if she did not want to. About skipping college today because of a fake appointment with Mingyu this morning.

The handsome young man confirmed the location of the watch on his wrist, then combed his black mane with his fingers.

Jeno wears a dark blue short-sleeved shirt, with jeans and white sneakers. When viewed from head to toe, the young man looked extremely handsome tonight.

Just now he was about to press the bell, suddenly Aya opened the main door and smiled towards Jeno who was sculpted due to being fascinated with the girl before him at this time.

How not? Currently Aya wears a short-handed dress and knee-length in line with the shirt Jeno wears. The black hair that was allowed to be severed up to the back, added a sweet impression to the girl.

"Doneus, are you okay?" aya asked as she waved both her hands in front of the young man's face.

Jeno gagged and cleared his throat. "Ah, I'm okay. Come on, come on, tonight" he said.

"Where are abeoji and eommonie?" jeno asked.

I closed the door and locked it. "They're not home, they're out of town on a job. Come," he said.

The girl walked ahead of Jeno. "Why is he so handsome tonight" he murmured, unheard by the young man.

While Jeno, he looked at the back of the girl who had already moved away from him. "Did I just realize it? If Aya is so sweet tonight," she murmured softly.

He also immediately approached Aya who will enter the Ferrari California —black parked in the yard of the house.

After making sure the girl sat down, he stepped around and got into the car. Then forward it to the —ya venue they will attend the welcoming event of the new head chef at the restaurant where Jeno works.

"Thank you for being with me tonight" Jeno said, glancing at Aya.

The girl nodded. "I'm also home alone. Chanyeol oppa is out with his friend" he said.

"Jae! You insane? Why even make a scene?" snapped Johnny at his best friend.

Jaehyun just looked flatly at the man in front of him, who was complaining of pain from the blow given by him.

"He deserves it!" sahut Jaehyun, then leave the men who are still on the ground.

Johnny sighed violently and shook his head while looking at the men who used to be his best friend and Jaehyun.

That man was Kim Mingyu.

"Let's get up!" johnny said as he extended his hand.

Mingyu also grabbed the helping hand and moved while grimacing. "Aigoo, sshhh..."

"Other times don't discuss the past like that in front of Jaehyun! You're this! Aish!" grumble Johnny.

The young man felt completely wrong, as both of them were his best friends. He knew Jaehyun first. However, when the young man was studying abroad, the best friend who was always by Johnny's side was Mingyu.

Mingyu ignored Johnny's rant, focusing on watching Jaehyun's back move away. Inwardly, he regretted the words he had just said to the young man.

Sorry, I shouldn't have talked about it. Inner Mingyu.

"Come, treat your wound first," Johnny said, patting Mingyu on the shoulder and stepping first.

The tan-skinned youth nodded and followed Johnny's steps into the health room in the La Bosseade building.

Minutes before the incident.

"Jae, I invited Mingyu. It's okay, isn't it?" johnny asked after gulping down the little hard cider that was in front of him.

Jaehyun turned to his best friend. "Mwo? You insane? I'll just go then!" he said and immediately moved.

However, the arrival of Johnny's next remark made Jaehyun stop his intention to leave, even the young man to silence did not budge.

"You still love that girl?" asked Johnny without taking his eyes off the glass filled with alcohol.

Jaehyun kept silent not making any gesture.

"If you're avoiding Mingyu, it's the same that you're still harboring feelings for the girl who made you fight" Johnny continued.

Jaehyun took a long breath. Right too, why would he avoid Mingyu? They should be able to make peace regardless of the past that had made their friendship tenuous just because a girl who had obviously played them both.

"You're not a coward, are you?" again, Johnny continued his words.

The young owner of the dimple patted Johnny on the head. "Yes!" his screeches.

"Augh! You're gonna have to take responsibility if I get a concussion, eoh!" johnny Protest.

Jaehyun sneered and he sat back down. "Where is it like that" he said lazily.

Five minutes later, the man they were talking about came. He approached Jaehyun and Johnny.

"Hi John's... Jae.." greeted Mingyu awkwardly.

Johnny stood up and welcomed his best friend. "Hi Gyu's. You coming? Come sit down," he said.

He glanced at Jaehyun and gave the code to reply to Mingyu's greeting.

With a heavy heart, the young man stood up and said, "sit down Gyu."

"Ah, Jae congratulations on your achievement. Good luck always" said Mingyu.

Jaehyun nodded. "Thank you" he said.

"Alright, then I'll take the red wine to celebrate the gathering of the three of us. Wait a minute," said Johnny and then moved to the liquor store.

In Jaehyun's heart, he cursed Johnny for leaving him with Mingyu. What's there to talk about? What discussion should begin? That was what Jaehyun had in mind.

After all, the two of them had not met for a very long time, even to exchange news through short messages alone had never.

An awkward atmosphere dominated between the two. Mingyu was just silent, he was also confused where to start.

Apparently, nervousness is not just when expressing love. Meeting old friends can be awkward, let alone previous breakups leaving unresolved issues.

"How are you Jae?" In the end, it was Mingyu who started the chat.

Jaehyun sighed softly. "I'm good. You how?" he said and asked back.

"I'm good too. What about your life in France? I heard from Johnny, you went to school there" Mingyu said.

Mercifully.

The atmosphere changed slightly to melt.

Eventually the two of them started chatting and telling each other's lives while not exchanging news.

Johnny, deliberately let the two of them chat. Actually he had come back and brought a bottle of red wine, but he paused to approach them and chose to sit in a chair far enough from the mini bar.

Until a few minutes later, Johnny saw Jaehyun standing up from his seat and directly beat Mingyu. I don't know what they're talking about.

But one thing Johnny knew. An Jaehyun would become emotional when someone discussed his past.

On one side, Jeno and Aya were still in the parking lot of the event venue. They should have been inside the venue but since the girl's phone was left behind, she inevitably returned to the car.

"I can do it myself. It's gone in there" Aya assured Jeno.

The young man took a long breath. Free talking to that stubborn girl —he said "Alright, hurry back," he said.

Aya nodded and gave her a smile. "Yes doneeus."

"Yes! I told you not to me—"

"Yes. yeah. It's there," said Aya cut off Jeno's speech.

The young man entered the Bar La Bosseade. Aya is back in Jeno's car.

However, Aya accidentally hit someone because he stepped his feet in a hurry and slightly lowered his head to see the car keys in his hands.

"Of!" pekik Aya's.

Luckily he did not fall because his wrist was grabbed by someone he accidentally hit.

"Ah, I'm sorry I didn't accidentally," Aya said and raised her head to see who it was.

"YOU?!"

Say both at the same time.
