Hoshi instruct the boy band while showing them the correct techniques making them follow his steps until they get it right after falling few times finally being able to complete the entire choreography after three days of regular practicing.

"Good, now take a break of 15 minutes after than we will do the final rehearsal to see if there is something lacking in your performance or you guys can remember all the steps now"

Hoshi said in a serious manner before all the members shattered around here and there some checking their phones, some busy rehearsing the steps and some just sitting on a corner taking time to catch their breaths.

Hoshi excusing himself out to grab something to drink move to the cafeteria which was on the floor beneath fanning his hands in the air to cool himself down while busy checking his phone seeing many messages from his friends on the group chat and they were all about winwin.

Rolling his eyes at how his friends are being so happy and exicted to meet winwin who has arrived three or four hours ago, hoshi shook his head in dissapontment putting his phone back on the pocket while steping out of the elevator heading to the cafeteria.

"Usual?"

Mrs. Kang the incharge asked to which hoshi smiled cutely feeling a bit shy about how she knew what hoshi might order even before him saying, leaning on the edge of the counter hoshi roam his eyes around to see the cafeteria was quiet peaceful right now as there were only fewer people here right now comparing to the morning time.

"You should try having something different sometimes" Hoshi turned back to look at Mrs. Kang who was preparing his order to which hoshi smiled like a baby.

"I don't know what other drink might suit me, that's why"

Hoshi said having a small pout to which Mrs. Kang huffed, she is one of the oldest staff member of pledis and is a beautiful kind hearted women in her late 40's.

"Then try, the more you'll try the more you'll explore the more you'll know about yourself" Mrs. Kang advised hoshi who listened to her words carefully before nodding.

"Here try this"

placing the order in front of hoshi Mrs. Kang said with a smile as she have made a different drink than to what hoshi prefers, raising the coffee cup in his hand checking the drink very carefully hoshi's eyes twitched in curious and questionable manner looking at Mrs. Kang for answers to which the lady smiled brightly over how adorable hoshi looks being totally confused.

"It's coconut flavour with a bit of whipped cream, taste it" Hoshi looked between the drink and Mrs. Kang before slowly taking a sip feeling unsure until he get a taste of it, humming in satisfaction hoshi looked at Mrs. Kang with wide eyes.

"It's tasty! From now on add it to my order list please." Mrs. Kang smiled while nodding in a proud manner.

"That's why I told you try different things, you might not like the taste of few drinks but that will help you in knowing what suits you best" said the lady to hoshi who was nodding while sipping on his drink.

"Why don't you made me try this drink earlier?" Hoshi inquired as it's been years since he is drinking the same coffee but Mrs. Kang never tired to change it even though she has advised hoshi a lot of time to change his orders from time to time.

"I wanted to but you have always been so stubborn especially for the first few year when you joined the company that's why i was waiting for the right time when you'll not put down my offer" Mrs Kang told making hoshi give her a grin.

"Smart of you"

"Thankyou" laughing at each other hoshi and Mrs.kang keep on talking about here and there until hoshi wasn't interrupted by his phone buzzing in his pocket, taking it out to see what was it.

And He saw it was a message from yuta and as always hoshi stood straight with eyes shining bright quickly opened the message to saw yuta has sended him some gift suggestions for taeyong.

Checking all the options carefully hoshi decided to go with the one yuta liked the most and thanked the Japanese for help who replied back immediately with a welcome making hoshi smiled before putting the phone back to see Mrs. Kang was giving him a teasing smirk.

"So you finally got someone huh?" Hoshi blushed before taking a long sigh he really can't stop being obvious.

"Hopefully" replied hoshi earning a questioning look from Mrs.Kang.

"Thanks for the drink" Hoshi deciding not to reveal further took his leave and Mrs. Kang nodded with a smile.

"Whoever that person is. He/she is lucky to caught soonyoung'sbheart" Mrs. Kang thought smiling to herself feeling happy for hoshi.

The more we'll know about the mistakes the more able we will be to avoid them in the near future

Presentation in front of the press and media will be on September till then I want us to be updated with all the things" said yuta to his colleague on call while moving out of the car heading inside the building, being extremely busy with preparation for fall collection yuta have zero idea about what's happening around him in his personal life.

Walking on a normal pace yuta was occupied with his phone to notice someone coming at his way from behind with low steps before suddenly taping his shoulder making yuta to stop midway.

Tilting his head to see who it was yuta's lips automatically formed a small smile seeing it was hoshi who smiled back brightly before walking side by side to the Japanese male showing him the present he bought for taeyong and complained about the traffic on the way making yuta smile while nodding.

"How's your work going?" Hoshi asked stepping inside the reception area followed by yuta who showed a thumbs up in response making hoshi chuckle.

"Learn to get some break from work don't force yourself too much" Hoshi advised looking at yuta earning a scoff from the Japanese.

"The one who himself became sick and got unconscious in the elevator once because of too much workload is advising me that. Nice" yuta teased causing hoshi to look away in embrassment.

"You don't need to rub it on my face like this"

Hoshi said making a not so impressed face earning a smiling nod from yuta to which hoshi smiled too, while waiting for the elevator hoshi and yuta were talking about random stuffs with yuta completely turned to face hoshi until haechan didn't called out hoshi's name in a loud voice causing the mentioned male to get startled for a moment.

Looking up from yuta to see what it was for his smile dropped for a moment feeling himself being out of energy hoshi put on a force smile while cursing internally as winwin was tagging along with haechan to his way.

"Not again" Hoshi said in a low manner while keeping a small smile on, yuta who was standing besides hoshi looked up from his hands to see hoshi's reaction and the forceful smile hoshi was having made yuta turn around to see what make the Korean male having such expression.

Winwin who was approaching hoshi halted midway when yuta turned around. Yuta on the other hand stood on his place completely blank the moment he saw winwin in front of him.

After seven long years and just by looking at each other all the good and bad memories came rushing down in front of their vision leading yuta to open his mouth to say something but stopped when hoshi's voice bring him back to reality.

"Hii" Hoshi not being able to notice the shift of mood between yuta and winwin greeted the Chinese male trying to sound cheerful to which winwin blinked a few seconds and looked away from yuta to hoshi giving him a small smile and yuta looked away towards hoshi's side trying to regain his composure.

"Umm yuta ssi?" yuta looked up hearing hoshi's voice before hoshi naturally put his hand on yuta's arm to make him a turn around a bit to face winwin clearly as the Japanese was looking away to the another direction.

Haechan noticing hoshi's action smirked teasingly but winwin felt uncomfortable seeing yuta following hoshi's instructions without looking a bit uncomfortable with his touch.

"This is winwin, Renjun's cousin and winwin This is yuta my friend." Hoshi introduced yuta proudly with a real smile as he himself realised at this moment about how far he and yuta have came just in few months from being strangers to friends.

Haechan wanted to say boyfriend to tease hoshi but knowing that yuta is present here too haechan decided not to as he is scared of the Japanese male aura and still can't believe how hoshi is not scared of yuta but of course why would he be.

"Hii" Winwin said first to greet yuta as he didn't want hoshi or haechan to notice the uneasiness between him and yuta.

Yuta also realising the situation played along with winwin and nodded back as a greeting earning smile from the two Korean males standing there looking at their interactions.
