For quite some time, he watched both of them hold their conversation. As he was about to stop them from chatting further, the contents of their conversation made him unable to go forward.
The sincerity and melancholy in Oh Miyeon's words as she said them did not go unnoticed by them. Surprisingly, he found his chest being squeezed painfully in that instant, and something flashed through his mind.
But it was too fast for him to completely grasp what it was, and distracted by that for couple of seconds, he stared at Oh Miyeon, contemplating about something.
Maybe his relationship with her was deeper than what he had initially thought.
"CEO Min?" the man— who was dressed in black— behind him spoke out.
Brushing those thoughts off of his mind, he walked over to Min Taejoon, and placing his hand on the shoulder, he shook Taejoon.
"Min Taejoon, wake up," Soobin spoke out.
Hearing his voice, Taejoon rose his head slightly, and seeing blurry Soobin before him caused him to let out giggles before he dropped his head on the table.
Soobin let out a sigh at that and ordered, "Carry him to his car and drive to the mansion. The keys will be inside the pocket."
The man nodded, and following Min Soobin's instructions, he walked forward. Supporting the male boy, he made his way towards the door with him. Once the man left with Taejoon, Soobin turned to back Oh Miyeon.
"Miyeon-ssi, will you be able to walk outside?" Soobin questioned.
Raising her head, she stared at him and blinked her eyes multiple number of times before chortling and exclaimed, "Oh! You are Min Soobin!"
Miyeon pressed her palms on the table, and placing pressure on to it, she tried to support herself up. Managing to stand up properly caused her to feel joyful, and she expressed that by letting out couple of more giggles.
As Oh Miyeon took couple of steps forward, all of a sudden, she stumbled slightly, and from the impact, she was about to fall down when Soobin wrapped his hands around her wrist in order to support her.
Placing one of his hand on his shoulder, he questioned, "Are you alright?"
After hearing her words from earlier, he found his tone being subconsciously being softer with her, and an inexplicable rush of guilt went within him. He wasn't the one to usually feel such emotions, making him curious regarding the reasoning behind it.
"Ah! I am fine. You saved me," she voiced out.

It did not take Min Soobin long to reach her apartment. Stopping his car in front of her apartment complex, he turned his head to face the girl.
Although she was more or less under the influence of alcohol, Miyeon had considerably sobered up compared to before. While she stared at the outside through the open window, her hair flew due to the air.
"We have arrived," he stated, "Will you be fine on your own or should I help you?"
