Chapter 21

                          
"Renjun? What brings you here?" Haejin looked st the guy whose clothes were soaking wet; nonetheless, he had a huge smile on his face.


                          
It was as if Renjun was thrown back to reality when Haejin spoke, "Your beloved boyfriend asked me a favor, and it's to give this to you." He handed the paper bag that he protected with all his might.


                          
"That's strange," Haejin peeped inside the paper bag. "You always whine or asked for something in return when someone asks you a favor." 


                          
The guy snickered, "Yah, Haejin-ah, don't play that card on me." He sighed. "You have no idea what that got me into." He said as if he was daydreaming.


                          
"Are you alright? You don't look, nor sound okay to me." Haejin raised a brow.


                          
"Just take it." He sighed. "I'm dumb anyways. Like, how the hell did I forgot to ask?" 


                          
"Hey, Haejin!" Someone greeted Haejin and walked past them.


                          
Haejin only smiled and waved at her.


                          
"I have to go now. Jaemin said that you should call him once you're done setting that up."


                          
"Setting what up?"


                          
"That," Renjun pointed at the paper bag Haejin was holding using his lips. "That's a new phone. Thank me later, bye!" He walked away.


                          
Haejin, on the other hand, went back to their department and opened the paper nag. She smiled and sighed, Jaemin being Jaemin, of course.


                          
"Just how rich are you?" Donghyuck kicked the floor so that his chair would move closer to Haejin. "Dearest Jinjinnie, please take care of this one," he read the text that was on the note. "Wow, is that fresh from London?"


                          
Haejin shook her head, "No, probably not." She chuckled. "He's a dork, I'm telling you."


                          
"Yeah, no shit." Donghyuck only snickered and went back to his table. 


                          
"Haejinnie~" A girl placed a folder on Haejin's table. "Irene-unnie told me to bring this to you." She smiled.


                          
"Thank you, Ningning!" Haejin smiled but then she noticed the coffee stains om the girl's shirt. "What happened to you?"


                          
"I bumped someone earlier, that's why." She sighed. "But it's okay. I'll get going now, Haejinnie!"

"Just what are you sighing at?" 


                          
Hendery placed a tray of food in front of Jaemin, who was picking his own food.


                          
"Oh hey, hyung..." behind Hendery was Xiaojun, Shotaro and Sungchan. "It's just that, Haejin hasn't called me yet and Renjun told me that he already gave the phone to Haejin this morning—I mean, yeah, it's morning now, but I meant Korean time."


                          
"You're overthinking, hyung." Sungchan said. "Maybe she already received it but she's still busy?"


                          
"Sungchan's right," Xiaojun said. "You told us that she's working on a novel, right?"


                          
Jaemin nodded and continued eating, "Yeah, you guys are right... maybe I'm just overthinking." 


                          
"Maybe she'll call you later. Don't worry too much, Jaemin-ah." Shotaro said and patted the guy's shoulder.
