Season 2: Chapter Eighteen

                                    

                                          
"Hyung?"
Minho hummed.
"Yesterday, night... I kinda eavesdropped your talk with the guy over the phone."
"Oh yes... obviously you would hear it since I turned the loud speaker on." Minho deadpanned and sipped his coffee.
"Are you okay?"
Minho made an eye contact with Changbin and raised his right eyebrow...
"What's wrong with you? Are you worried of me now?" Minho snickered.
"Hyung, I always care about you, you just can't see it." 
"I know." Minho drank all the way down his coffee before standing up. "We'll talk about it later, see you at lunch." 
"Lee Minho-shi!"
"Good morning, Mrs. Kim." Minho bowed. 
"You seemed in a good mood, Mrs. Kim." Minho muttered as they entered the elevator.
"Yah, everyone in the company is in the good mood.. the opening ceremony of the new business is already three days away."
"Ah, yeah. I almost forgot about that." Lee Minho nodded his head before watching the numbers going higher in the elevator's screen.
Ding.
"Come to my office at ten, Mr. Lee." Mrs. Kim added before going out first.
"Yes, Mrs. Kim." 
Minho started his work as soon as he sat down on his swiveling chair. As he work he was truly bothered at the fact of the guy who looks like Chan, who's name is also Chan.
And the lady in red who told him to make a wish.
"It could've be true and Chan isn't just remembering anything." he mumbled to himself.
He shook the bothersome off and continued his work.
He sighed when he couldn't stop thinking that's why he stood up, went to a vending machine just around the corner and bought a soda.
He didn't went to back to work but instead he went to the rooftop and sat on a bench.
"So you're here too."
He jolted and turned around when he heard Chan,
"You scared me." Minho mumbled to himself.
Chan sat beside him, "May I?"
Minho frowned when he asked for the can of soda.
"Why don't you buy your own?" Minho questioned but he gave the can of soda to Chan anyways.
He watched Chan drank the soda all the way down before he sighed and watched the sky.
"Where... where did you grow up?" Minho finally asked what he wanted to ask.
"Me? In Australia." 
Minho's heart skipped a beat and started to get nervous.
"Do you have parents?" 
Chan stretched his lips in each corner and blinked his eyes muttiple times while he stared at Minho as if he didn't want to answer.
"Sorry, I was... just curious." Minho muttered in low voice before looking down and away.
Chan laughed, "Why did you looked so down? I was just kidding. Yes, I do have parents and they are in Australia."
Minho's face burned at this man's playfulness, he felt embarassed and at the same time he was glad that he answered him.
"It's ten o'clock, I need to go." Minho immediately stood up and started to walk away.
Chan called, "Mr. Lee do you want to have lunch together?"
Minho turned around, "I'm sorry but I have someone to eat with."
"Then... dinner?"
Seriously this, guy is just-
"Okay." Minho agreed before running his way all the way down.
Chan slowly smiled before he also went down after Minho to go back to his office.
•••
"Another load of works." Minho sighed before taking a seat and watched his unfinished work. 
"I can finish it... until quarter to twelve." He muttered to himself before starting work again.
Minho did his everything with his all might to finish the work just on time before he went out to meet Changbin for lunch.
They went to a local restaurant where they used to go with the others, Jeongin and Jisung but this time it's just Minho and Changbin since the others are busy with their works.
"Are you even okay going out like this?" Minho asked.
"Hyung, I'm fine. I'm wearing a cap and a mask they won't recognize me as their number one celebrity crush." 
Minho scoffed, "Celebrity crush you face." 
"Hyung! You should be supportive to me!" Changbin whined.
Minho irritatingly covered his ears at the younger's noisy attitude.
"Here's your order~" the ajhumaa sing sang as she placed the food on the table.
"Thank you, ajhumma~" Changbin muttered in a childish tone. 
They've became close to the owner ever since they become a regular customer here that's why they acted like they're just inside a home.
"Changbin-ah~ be quiet now because there are people rushing in if you don't want to get recognized." Minho muttered in sweet sarcastic tone.
"Hyung, about last night." Changbin started.
"Oh... About last night." Minho took a table nakin before wiping his lips and stared at Changbin.
"I bet you won't believe this but it'll be a long story..."
Minho started to talk everything from the very beginning when they transferred in Australia, the fireplace, the way he met Chan and etc.
"Wow." Changbin was speechless.
"But then when I went to the place where my supervisor brought me and I saw him again."
"Huh?" Changbin furrowed his brows. He was so into the story.
"That's crazy right? But he couldn't recognize me that's why I thought everything might be a coincidence."
"But the lady in red told you to make a wish, hey, I heard that deities nowadays are everywhere." Changbin whispered.
"Pssh..." 
"But hyung you also told me that he told you he came from Australia too." Changbin shrugged the odd topic earlier.
"That's why I'm starting to believe again that he's Chan and he just can't remember me."
