"Secretary Cho, how much time do I need to invest on these fools?" Jiwon sighed with frustration, as she was forced to attend a so called "VIP party" with the investors of her brother's branch, because apparently Jihun was slacking off more these days.

"We can leave now ma'am, they're all drunk enough, the hotel management will take care of them." Cho Miha, her secratary who was a red-head with an emotionless facade, replied as calmly as ever, escorting her boss out of the hell she knew as the vip suite.

"I need something sweet to calm myself, drive to that café where we were last time." Jiwon instructed, settling in the passenger seat, gazing out of the window after taking off her black coat she was wearing over her black sleeveless dress.

Her lush black hair cascaded down her back in subtle waves, a few perfectly loose strands of hair framing her small, oval-shaped face with perfection.

She brushed those hair strands with her fingers back, touching up her slightly faded lipstick; adding a subtle layer of gloss over the leftover tint of the lipstick, as she leaned back on the seat, while her secratary drove them through the bustling road of the night.

(A/n: Jiwon's current appearance)

After a 10 minute drive which felt like hours to Jiwon, they reached the café where Jiwon was planning to satisfy her cravings.

"We are here ma'am." Miha announced, parking the car outside the café, to which Jiwon perked up immediately.

"Finally!" Jiwon exclaimed with a smile of relief, getting out of the car, as the cold breeze brushed against her naked shoulder, making her shiver from the cold; but right now she could care less about it, her mind solely focused on getting something sweet inside her system to calm her headache down.

"Secretary Cho, find a seat for me. I'll order myself." Jiwon ordered, as she made her way inside the café, the bells over the door tingling; indicating someone arrived.

The café was almost empty, with only a pair of sleep-deprived students sitting near the heater, trying to survive through their quarter life crisis at ass'o clock in a chilly night.

"How miserable" Jiwon thought, as she made her way towards the counter, only to notice no other staff was there, specially the sweet older lady who was always preparing her coffee for five days straight now.

"Is nobody here? What a shitty management." Jiwon thought, leaning her arm over the counter, when a mop of black hair caught her eye.

A too familiar mop of hair she'd say, but where did she see it?

"Welcome to Blue Spring café Ma'am, what can I get for you?" The man turned around, sensing the presence of a customer, making Jiwon's breath catch in her throat.

Those pair of deep brown eyes and cupid-bow lips, the deep-set dimples and fluffy black hair! She recognises it!

"That guy from yesterday Morning...the one who saved the kid, you're that handsome guy aren't you?" Jiwon gasped in surprise, letting her words slip out before she could think, making Soobin shocked as well, a tint of pink covering his cheeks from the sudden compliment.

"Excuse me ma'am? I have no idea what you're talking about.." Soobin replied, cheeks flushed from embarrassment.

"I'm sure you're that guy, what's your name Cutie?" Jiwon asked, her lips curling up into a smirk.

What a coincidence, the guy she thought she won't see again, worked in her favourite café? This must be fate.

"U-uh...Choi Soobin. Your order ma'am?" Soobin replied, weirded out by the woman's sudden flirtatious words.

Who the heck was this fine masterpiece of a woman and why was she so unhinged?

"Oh yeah, my order. Hm...can I get you as my order?" She asked teasingly, letting herself admire the man infront of her.

"What a shy cutie, I like him." She thought to herself, as she saw Soobin's ears getting red from her playful comments.

"Relax cutie, I'll take a red velvet pastry and some hot chocolate." Jiwon chuckled when she realised she made the guy tongue-tied.

"Y-yeah sure, right away ma'am." Soobin nodded, feeling a bit shy yet weirded out by the woman's antics.

"Mhm, by the way I'm Jiwon. But you can call me Yours." She winked before heading toward the seat her secretary had saved for her, meanwhile Soobin just stood there frozen and confused. What the heck?

What an interesting night, just before he was supposed to close his shop, thought Soobin and started preparing Jiwon's order.

+×+

"Here's your order ma'am." Soobin served her order on the table, ready to walk away, when Jiwon called him right back.

"I would like one more thing as my order." She replied, crossing her arms with a mischievous glint in her eyes, which Soobin swore was for no good, still he nodded; fuck customer service.

"Yes ma'am?" He arched his eyebrows, hoping it wasn't something weird.

"Your number. I want that." She flat-out presented her shameless request, which baffled Soobin.

What?

His number?

Why would he give his number to a stranger, a weird one at that.

Soobin straightened his posture, and replied with a calm voice, despite the uncomfortable feeling brewing inside him.

"I'm sorry to say, but I can't do that ma'am." He refused politely.

"Aww, what a bummer. But you can have mine, here cutie." She handed him a piece of paper with her number, along with some tip.

"Call me anytime, yeah?" She chuckled, while Soobin walked away with a frown on his face.

A strange woman hitting on him on a random night? Just what he asked for indeed. He wasn't even over Beomgyu yet, and now he got stuck in a weird situation. Life truly hates him.

"As if, who does she thinks I am? Falling for a weirdo's shameless words? Ew." Soobin made a disgusted face, putting the tip into his pocket, damn was this woman rich? Who the heck gives this much as a tip?

"Secretary Cho, I need information about him. I finally found a worthy interest to pursue and chase." Jiwon mumbled to her secretary, who was watching all the events unfold till now with an amused smile on her face.

"Sure ma'am." She replied back, grinning to herself. It was nice to see her boss take interest in something out of work after so many years. After him.

"Playing hard to get? I like that. I like having things which are challenging."
