“And why would I go for a hug?” Abigail was not the kind to display her affection physically towards the people she knows ( Seungjin being the only exception ), let it alone to people she had barely talked to. Although she had heard him on the radio before and enjoyed the sound of his voice, that was it. This meeting was a mere coincidence, and nothing else. Hence her confusion when she stepped forward and held out her hand for him to shake. The dhampir arched a brow. “Are you going to shake it?”

"Uh, because– it's not everyday you meet a Lee Donghae?" The producer muses, although he wasn't so motivated to bring out his cocky side now. She seemed to be uninviting with his playful advances and he knew better than to press further on a Thursday morning. 'Right,' he says with a snap of a finger. 'Never ruin anyone's mood at mornings. Fucking forgot!'

"Yeah, yeah. Shaking it already. You're so formal, you know that? Sheesh, uptight as fuck."

44. “Why do you run away from your problems all the time?”

 His hands were busy typing away the last few changes in the arrangement of the latest song he was fixing, adding and subtracting some minor details for the tracks that were assigned to Jung Jinyoung meticulously. And by meticulously, he does it with care and with patience because unlike the intern that hastily did this job last week, he was someone who knew the difference between Park Jinyoung and Jung Jinyoung. Two very different vocalists from two different companies, equally talented and equally deserving to have separate folders in the files of this laptop that was handed over by the third-party management. Seemingly, over the hours of rehearsing a song together to perfect it, Donghae had gotten into a deep conversation with the younger, which was something compeletely uncharacteristic of him to do so. “Well, when you’re as old as I am, man… When you can’t really tell if what you’re doing is actually making sense, you run. You run as hard as you can until you’ve got it all figured out. It lessens the casualties of people getting hurt, you know.”

“ but you promised.. ”

“I know I did, and I’m trying really hard to understand why I did…” Donghae feigned annoyance, crinkles appearing over his nose as he scrunched it, giving off a short gruff. Then, with a sigh, he draped his arm around the woman’s shoulder and poked her nose. They had agreed to go on a friendly date about a month ago, not too serious at all when discussed while picking out microphones that suited her best from the ones arranged in the supply closet. Since then, they had been seeing each other by mere coincidence, brushing shoulders along the halls and in some of the recording rooms. “I still have work for like, an hour…? Two or three, tops. That rookie from your company’s really rough around the edges. If you could wait until then, I promise I’ll make it worth the wait. What do you say, babe?”

“Were you ever going to tell me?”

For the longest time, Donghae had embossed in his head that nobody would care for him. Nobody would be searching for him, nobody would come crawling at his doorstep nor did he think he’d even be significantly a person to call for at times of distress outside the confines of a studio or within the boundaries of his work and his work’s network. So when he hears Hyeon ask this, he was stunned. Rarely did anyone confront him about his sudden disappearance from work. “It didn’t seem trivial back then,” he began as he sipped on the cup of coffee he fixed himself with, remaining in that casual tone though he knew he was in for a scolding. “Nor did it matter now that I’m back. It’s as if I wasn’t gone for a while at all, actually. Were you looking for me?”
