SEJEONG POV
Things were picking up again, like winter never stopped the spring and summer. After the award show ended. I was offered to guest star on Knowing Brothers, with other girls from groups. It was different without Gugudan. I needed to branch out my manager said. After one episode of Knowing Brothers my manager got a call for me to audition for a mystery comedy drama. Sejeong promised herself this year to give herself a chance at trying new things again. "Maybe even dating?" Sehun's face fame to mind. Sejeong read the script, the part was for a girl with amnesia. "You can do this Sejeong." The audition went great. I went back to the set to finish another take with Knowing Brothers. I shared about the dismemberment of I.O.I. Kim Heechul said, "They say that the standard for being a senior is the measurement of one's popularity," Kim Sejeong replied, "An upsetting thing once happened. When I was promoting as I.O.I, a junior who greeted me by saying, 'Oh hello, senior,' then ignored me when I promoted again as Gugudan. People shouldn't be like that and I can't say who it is, but popularity isn't everything." It should always be about the music and giving love to fellow music lovers. The show ended after I a rendition of Girls' Generation's U, R. Both Kim Heechul and Lee Sang-min said I had really improved since I.O.I and was glad to hear what I had to say. I thanked them both and left for home. I was tired when I arrived home, but promised I would update Sehun. Sejeong mentioned the audition and asked prayers that this drama takes off. I asked him how everyone is doing especially him. Sejeong hoped they were having fun with D.O birthday. The email also asked when Sehun was working with Yeon Seok again on his new show. I was too tired to eat anything and went to bed after watching D.O animated movie Underdogs.
SEHUN POV
Sehun was skeptical joining Coffee and Friends as a guest, but thought I should be supportive of Yeon Seok. The first day I didn't do much help, Yeon Seok showed me around the shop. It was a brilliant set up they had going. I liked the idea customers could pick their own tangerines from the orchard. The food was delicious and easy to make. The first episode was fun. Yeon Seok said I needed to come in early he said he had something to show me. I nodded and came the next morning, the sun had barely broke through the mist in the air as I walked up the dirt path to the shop. It was cold and yet peaceful. I forgot mornings could be like this. Sehun started peeling the tangerines and places them in a container to be used for a dessert. Yeon Seok came in and was surprised to see me already getting ahead on the days chores. He took out his phone and said to play this video he selected. Curious, I played the video, He had taped Sejeong and I on the bus from season 1. "What?!" In the video I was asleep and Sejeong was drawing on a pad of paper. The video zoomed in and showed what she was drawing. I smiled big when I saw what it was. It was a caricature of me sleeping. "Does she still have that drawing?" There was even a part in the video where she was sweeping my bangs off to the side of my face. I replayed the video several times, before the phone was taken away from me. "Alright lover boy let's go pick some more tangerines and get some fresh herbs for todays menu in the garden." Yeon Seok said teasingly. "Hyung, can you send me the video?" Sehun asks. "Hmm... maybe." Replied Yeon Seok. I pouted. "Don't make that face Sehun, we got a lot of work to do but some of my friends will be making an appearance later to help us out." Said Yeon Seok "Yes hyung." I reply. I began doing dishes and then was asked to help grab coffee bags. Nam Joo Hyuk came in a was sent to do dishes. I stopped and got a iced coffee Yeon Seok employee handed me. "This is legit." I said. Others laughed and I went back to work outside trying to sell the tangerines I had picked that afternoon. Yeon Seok clapped me on the back and said I did a good job for an idol he teased. Sehun nugged him back. Cell service wasn't that great, but Sehun tried to open his email account. There was a message from Omma, she had sent him pictures of Vivi in their house playing and annoying the cat his parents had. The next message was from D.O. saying thanks for the great birthday he uploaded some pictures EXO members had taken. I sent them to my instagram account for fans to see. The last message was from Sejeong. She asked how I was doing. I sent her a picture of me in my apron next to some dishes I was cleaning and another of my iced coffee. I told her I would send a prayer for her that night. "I wonder what the drama was about?" I also asked her if she had a drawing of me she would like to share.
SEJEONG POV
The director of the film, I Wanna Hear Your Song asked to do a table read with the actors. The lead characters were selected Yeon Woo Jin, Kim Sejeong, Song Jae Rim and Jiyeon. I was getting a good vibe by the script it was going to be funny and yet a mystery to solve for both characters myself and Yeon Woo Jin. My first thought was I would need to take lessons for a timpanist. Sejeong shook hands with everyone after the reading was over. Yeon Woo Jin was already someone I didn't see myself becoming friends with. He was a serious actor and found me to be amature. Song Jae Rim reminded me of an eager puppy wanting to fit in anywhere. Jiyeon was shy of her male costars and found it difficult to be mean to me. I went home to study the script. When I finished reading Sejeong did some stretches to practice on Gugudan dances, several of the girls showed up at the studio to go over the routine again. The girls invited me out to eat, but asked for a rain check as I had to watch my weight. Sejeong made herself a salad and got on the computer. 4 emails caught her attention. One was for Crocs a shoe company asking to partake in the new fashion season, Sejeong already owned 6 pairs of Croc shoes. She forward the email to her manager saying yes to their contract. The 2 were from her manager to agree on the shows Amazing Saturday and The King of Masked Singer. She agreed this would be good for her upcoming drama and also the solo album she wanted to do. The last email was from Sehun. He sent pictures of himself working in Jeju at Coffee and Friends, woah those dishes look yummy. She thought and then looked down at her salad. Sejeong pouted. She read more about his work and laughed when he mentioned the picture she drew. "I bet Yeon Seok told him about it." Sejeong wrote back, saying stay warm and asked what's the best dish they had there to eat. She mentioned her costars she would be working with. Sejeong suggested they try and make a dish her mom made. It was always heavily requested by Gugudaun members. Sejeong sent the recipe

Sejeong thought about how to reply to the drawing, "He's mine, no-no-no that's too forward Sejeong." I thought. What about if I deny it, nah he wont believe me. Just tell him the truth, ok "It helps me smile." There and send.
SEHUN POV
The next morning Kang Daniel phoned me while I was picking tangerines. He said he was in Jeju island and wanted to visit. I went to the shop and mentoned it to Yeon Seok, he told me to put him to work and help pick the tangerines in the orchard. "Poor guy won't know what hit him." I said ok. Kang Daniel looked confused when he arrived and Sehun handed him workmans gloves and a box. I said let's catch up and showed him the orchard. We talked and got caught up on each other band members. He mentioned watching the show Busted and asked about the cast. I told him I could ask Yoo Jae Suk to put in a good word for him. He nodded, but then asked something out of the blue. "How is it working with Sejeong my role model?" "She's very positive and a hard worker, but she can have fun when the moment calls for it." Sehun replies. Kang Daniel mentioned, He was hanging out with I.O.I girls, he said the group changed since Sejeong and Mina left. I told him about when our group started and some of EXO was being split up, it was hard for some of the guys to let go of their friends, we didn't connect right away because we still held ties to those in our past. If we wanted a future and to go forward we needed to learn to bond better and be one. Everyone had their own agenda for themselves after EXO became big, we remembered to stay connected some way while doing our own things. Kang Daniel said he doesn't want to disband, he just misses his his friends. Kang Daniel said he wanted to give a chance at dating one day. When he said that, Sehun stopped picking the tangerine tree. "Is there someone on your mind?" Sehun ask nervously. "I'll give you a hint, it starts with J." Said Kang Daniel. I felt a weight lift from my shoulders when he said this. "Oh thank God, It's not Sejeong." "Uh Joy?" Sehun guesses "No, she's in Twice and tiny." Said Kang Daniel "I think I know who and I'm happy for you." Said Sehun and smiles. "What about you Hyung?" Asked Kang Daniel "What about me?" Sehun says. Kang Daniel rolls his eyes "When will you date? Anyone in mind" Kang Daniel replies. A face came to mind, but I shook my head. I shrug my shoulders. "When I do find someone I wanna take it slow." Nothing needs to be forced Sehun says. Kang Daniel nods, but then asks "What if she's the one?" "Well if she's the one. I'm going to hold on tight." Sehun says confidently.
