It is fifteen minutes before ten, Isaac had to wait for Ivelyn finish her morning routine. Regret cross his mind. Not the one he brought her here, but the one where he decided to clean up first before he prepared Ivy's change of clothes and everything. He would never imagine that girls would take at least half an hour to get ready to go out.
And here, he had been waiting just as that much time while he should be on his way to his office to fetch a few files before heading for a meeting. He never late for a meeting and now, he about to ruin his clean record for the girl he doted on.
Unbelievable.
Not to mention that he had yet to feed the girl. He might face another wrath from the grumpy girl if she come out and there still no food for her to fill their empty stomach.
The problems at that moment, the house does not have any food ingredients, so he can't whip something for his sister. He rarely stay there for the housekeeper to store any food for him and now he is in a big problem.
He can't remember where or when, but there was an article about how to reduce the anger of a hungry girls are by taking them to the right place where she can choose every kinds of food. That is where he get the idea. So, to conclude, his only way and choice for him is take Ivy to the restaurant and let her choose anything she want.
Finger cross it will work like magic on Ivelyn too.

In a dance studio, a group of male idols are sweating profusely, it was almost ten in the morning but they only had practice for only five times of the whole song after three and half an hour of practice. It was nerve wracking for all of them, causing one after another mistake by almost every members.
They keep on checking their new routine moves that will be shown to their fans for comeback. They keep on stop here and there between the music to fix their moves. Too much pressure from the people who watch them to make sure they did perfectly are one of the other reasons for them all to sweat buckets.
Even by then, none of them seems refused to back down. They keep on practice and make sure their move synchronize all the time. Since they were all do it for their dreams, all of them want to make sure they achieve what they all want. From their face and effort, people can see how much determination they want to make sure their comeback will success.
After the ninth times, all the boys sprawl on the floor of the dance studio. They reach their limit for none stop fixing and improving the routine. Heavy breath can be heard everywhere coming out of their mouth.
While listening to the dance teacher and taking ragged breath at the same time, all the boys attention did not waver. They all focus on the comments coming out of the dance teacher mouth and final speech before their official comeback in which in two days.
After a long speech and a few words of advices, except the members of the group head out of the dance studio. The boys were still wiping sweat on their body and catch their breath, too exhausted to move from their sitting. They all can still felt the stiff muscles after the long workout through dancing.
"Hey guys, I starving right now. You know what, I hadn't any food since last evening and now its already almost lunchtime. Do you guys want to grab something before we head back to the dorm? Please..." plead the youngest boy in the group with pouting mouth.
"Fine by me. I want to eat hot rice and chicken with some soup to help my digestion. What about you guys?" the leader, Xuan suggest the menu he want to order.
"I'm okay with that too. But I need some coffee before that. A cup of ice coffee even better." Noah chip in as he had been dancing with empty stomach due to wake up later that he usual time. He usually start his day with at least a cup of coffee and a slice of bread to make sure that everything works the way he want for that day.
"Deal. I'm in." said the rest two who answer simultaneously when they heard about the food.
"Get ready in five. We will head out together after." Instruct Xuan. He gather everyone together to make sure the members will stay away from trouble before every comeback. That way their performance will not receive backlash just like the previous idols who make a scene.
The rest of the members of the group nodded their head and make a move quickly. They felt famished after every food they were being feed for the past weeks they need to have in order to pass their manager strict diet to get ideal weight.
Before leaving the dance studio, Xuan and Noah take a last glance at inside of the studio. They double check to switch off every air conditioner and lamp before run for food. It is everyone responsibilities to save as much as electricity and water as they could for the future.
While walking on the sidewalk and chatting about everything for their performance, Noah told his friends that he will get himself some coffee and desserts. He offer them whether any of them want some too and it is his treats since there is still sometime before lunchtime anyway, so he craving for some donuts or croissants.
After walking after twenty minutes of walk, the boys come across one café on their way to the restaurant they frequents. Upon seeing one, they all accept Noah's offer for coffee. At the same time, they want to sit in a cold place to cool down their body after all the dance and walk they had.
Once entering the door of the café, three of the members stalk towards a table near the wall with enough chairs to occupied five of them while Noah and Xuan walk to the counter to place their orders.
While waiting for the order to be done, Noah's eyes scrutinize his surroundings. From his point of view, the café have a suitable vibe for youngsters' nowadays. It suits his taste.
Suddenly, his eyes glue to one silhouette that he seems to recognise and his eyes widen once his mind recalled where he saw that person.
