The train car began beeping, letting onboarding passengers know it was last call.

“It will be my treat.” Elise grinned as she backed towards the car then. “My name is Elise, by the way. Elise Fitz.”

"Jae-Sung Kim. Or Oliver. Good luck with y- wha-wait- Fitz? Like -Fitz Fitz?" Oliver asked in a surprised sputter then.

Elise laughed at Oliver’s surprise. Even if she didn’t recognize him, he certainly knew who she, or at least her brothers, were.

“It isn’t the most common surname in Korea.” She scrunched her nose with her smile.

Oliver's words and breath caught in his throat then. Of course it'd be the cute smile and nose scrunch to really do him in, in nothing flat. "You.. wow." he said out loud, not even talking about her being a Fitz but just her. "I-uh- c-cool! Cool!" he tried to play it off quickly, nose and cheeks flushing pink.

“If you’re as popular as you and everyone else says, maybe I’ll see you around and get you that coffee.” Elise said, her smile deepening when she saw Oliver’s blush. “Thanks again, oppa.” She said, getting onto the train just before the doors closed.

It had been a few weeks since Elise started school and while she was busy, she was contentedly so.

The program she was in was rigorous, and even then that felt like a nice way of putting things. She felt like she was on campus in the theater and dance studio more than she was anywhere else and when she wasn't there, she was making good use of the gym facilities and track, partly because it was a good way to train her stamina and partly because she just liked running. She had a few classes that were standard for all undergrads and even though her Korean needed some work, she was confident that she was at least not floundering as much as she worried she would be.

Things at home were good, having settled right in with her brother's family. Most of the kids were middle school and high school aged now, though there was one of Soo Mi's younger siblings still in elementary and of course little Seung Wook just barely going into preschool. They were all good kids, cheerful too if Coda's influence was anything. She had posted up in her own private room and while the kids were respectful of her space, some of them often came to do their own homework with her or watch movies on the projector she used instead of a TV (a novelty she imagined wouldn't wear off anytime soon).

It had been quite some time since she had seen little Seung Wook, so getting to spend time with him every day was an absolute treat. She adored her little nephew (Tanner and Mi Na's kids as well), so when she came home early from campus and came home to Soo Mi asking her to take a fussy little Seung Wook to set to visit her brothers because he missed his appa, she was more than happy to oblige.

Tanner and Coda were filming on a new drama that had set up not too far from the Fitz family home. She was able to take a taxi a short distance and take a leisurely stroll to the set with the toddler without incident. She texted her brother to let her know they were coming and he had an assistant come meet her and her nephew just outside the premises.

The assistant handed over a pass to Elise and greeted Seung Wook with familiarity before taking them over to a coffee truck that appeared to have been sponsored by Coda himself.

"Your Kang Dae oppa likes to spoil everyone on every project he's ever worked on. Please get yourself a coffee and a treat and I'll bring over Kang Dae and Haneul over when they're done with their scene." The woman nodded before giving a curt little bow and a wave to little Seung Wook.

"Appa is coming?" He chirped, looking up to Elise as he held her hand.

"Yes, so you won't cry anymore, right? Your eomma said you cried so much she could have filled up a whole jar with your tears. You must have missed him a lot." Elise said as she gently coaxed the toddler along.

He nodded firmly. He did miss his appa a lot.

"I bet they have hot chocolate. Let's get some while we wait."

Things had certainly been going for Oliver.

New tabloids about his new tattoo, new rumors about this girl or that girl that he might be or certainly was in their eyes, seeing. And of course, his manager and agent had decided that it'd be good publicity to run with that despite his best arguments.

"You wanted this bad boy persona, this is what comes along with it!"

So of course, his weeks had been full with interviews and auditions. With photoshoots, rehearsals and recordings, dance practice and fittings to go with those, Oliver had to admit he felt pretty tapped out. While he always ate up the attention, good or bad, he never felt like he had the chance to just spend some down time with his band mates or even on his own.

And he knew they had it just as rough and things were just as busy but at least they didn't have the same issues with their manager as he did, really. He had been debating for the past hour about texting the man to tell him that he was leaving and he would not be doing another damn guest star role. He wanted a big role, something meaningful.

But there he was, too hesitant and cowardly to actually do it. Instead, he was sat at one of the tables by the coffee truck, cradling a coffee cup in his hand and lip pouted with his brows furrowed angrily as he glared at his cellphone which rested on the table.

He hardly noticed the small boy and the woman but there was something about her voice that was scratching at the back of his head. He pursed his lips then and glanced up, hoping it wasn't some fan that had stalked her way into figuring out he was on set today.[/i]

Elise had ordered herself and Seung Wook hot chocolates, just like she had suggested, and even got a croissant to boot.

"Seung Wook, can you say thank you?" She coaxed the little boy who was cradling his cup and already sipping cautiously at the warm (kiddy warm) chocolatey drink.

"Thank you, ahjussi." He said, looking so much like Elise's brother when he smiled up at the man who had served them.

"Aigoo, you're too cute. You better behave for your noona while you're here. Come get another treat before you leave." The man laughed.

Elise let out a little laugh and turned herself and Seung Wook towards a little seating area. She was about to start over when she paused in her steps upon recognizing one of the people perched at a table

The knot that had knit Oliver's brows together smoothed out on his forehead the moment he saw Elise and he almost looked like a perked up puppy who had seen something of interest. He stopped pouting and leaned back in his seat quickly, trying to look cool and casual as he gave a little 'salute' of a wave to Elise when she spotted him. "Finally gonna get me that coffee?" he asked, tone teasing.

“I would have, but it looks like you already helped yourself.” Elise teased back, a scrunched up grin on her face as she did so. “What are you doing here? Are you a super fan of my brothers or something?” She asked, pausing when she felt a little tug on her hand. She looked down at Seung Wook.

“Gomo, is that ahjussi your friend?” Seung Wook asked.

"A super fan o-" Oliver started but paused when he heard Seung Wook and gave a grimace, glancing down. "Nononono, I'm not an ahjussi." Oliver corrected with an embarrassed little laugh.

“No? I think he’s too little for you to be his hyung though.” Elise laughed at how flustered Oliver looked.

"Ah.." Oliver sighed with a little laugh, grimacing. "Anyhow... visiting your brothers?"

“Yeah, I mean, I could take or leave them, but Seung Wook hasn’t been able to spend much time with Coda since he started filming.“ Elise said, absently using her brother’s English name. When they were growing up, while her brothers still lived with her and her parents, she mostly called them both by their English names, but as they got older and settled into the Korean spotlight, she usually called them by their Korean names. “But what about you, oppa? What are you doing here? Do you know someone here or are you rwally a super fan?” She asked

Oliver looked confused, brows furrowing. Was she still acting like she had no idea who he was? "Uh, no no. I'm working. I have a role in today and the next couple of episodes."
