Ace on the other hand, was at his company, dealing with paperworks as usual. But, he still hasn't made any progress at all. Something or someone's definitely bothering him.

Ace slammed the proposal he was currently reading as he sighed, it has been the fifth time he has read the proposal, yet nothing's going into his mind, except for that boy, Keith.

While Ace is completely preoccupied, his assistant was very puzzled. 'His boss was never like this! Is there something wrong with the proposal? Or was it too difficult for their boss to sign?' though he knew that this inner question of his will never get any answer from his boss.

He then mustered up the courage to clear his throat and ask his boss a question. "Is the contract unsatisfactory boss? Shall I send it back to the HR for revision?"

Ace glanced at his assistant coldly, which made his assistant slightly shiver. "There's no need for revision." he paused. "However, I need you to investigate Keith. The bartender who works at the nearest café. I need his information by the end of the day."

'Did he somehow offended the boss?' he questioned himself. "Yes sir!" he replied. Though he had many questions about the matter, he couldn't ask it out loud for the fear of losing such a good job by being nosy. So even if his curiosity is killing him, he'll just endure it since he's confident that he will find the answers to his questions soon.

He then quickly proceeded to start working for the job given to him by his boss, burdened by the lack of time. While Ace leaned against the expensive office swivel chair, closing his eyes.

He frowned, he wants to have a smoke but he promised someone that he'll stop smoking. Though he's unsure if that someone still remembered him.

Then Keith's face flashed in his mind, their resemblance seems uncanny. It's like they're the same person, but they're not. Though he noticed some differences between them, like their eye color, the slight difference of their face shape and the energy they gave.

He knows very well that they're completely different person, but he still have the desire to make him his—to fulfill his failed romance with his first love.

He's aware that this thought should be discarded, but his regret and loneliness for his first love blocked his rational thoughts.

Ace frowned and massaged his temples. He couldn't take it anymore, he needs to clear his head. One smoke wouldn't hurt, besides its just this once, he couldn't possibly know. He stood up from his chair then calmly walked outside his office to buy cigarettes.

He immediately went inside the private elevator that's exclusive for him. He then stepped out when the elevator finally stopped at the lobby. Employees greeted him as he strode out of the company.

Fortunately, there's a close convenience store just a few minutes away, so he didn't have to walk far.

He suddenly halted from entering the convenience store out of shock when their eyes met.
