"Have you heard of Kim Taehyung?"

☆

The new employee makes his way towards Isaac with an outstretched hand, ready to shake. "Isaac Rhodes? I'm Adam, Adam White." 

Without thought, as if on auto pilot, Isaac reaches out and shakes the hand of the other male. "Nice to meet you." He replies, trying his best to convey that he knew all along that he would be getting support for his workload and it wasn't true of Jojo's comment, that he, in fact, did not read his emails. He now, for the first time, takes in the face of the other male. It caused him to question. "Do I know you?" Isaac cannot seem to take his eyes from the other male. He looked so familiar to him that it seemed like a puzzle he just couldn't fathom. 

The other male pulls away from the hand shake, a smile gracing his lips. "Well, people do say I look like Kim Taehyung." He subconsciously flicks his head back, causing the flopped bangs to shift to the side to reveal those eyes....

Isaac finds his own eyes growing wider; he locks eyes with the new employee. It seems to have an unexpected flutter to his being. So much so that he could hear his own heart beating inside his chest as if all the white noise surrounding them had paled into significance. It causes Isaac to place a hand on his chest and pat it a few times with the palm of his hand. "Kim Tae, who? I don't know who she is." He says, forcing his eyes away from Adam in order to go get a drink of water from the dispenser. He hated water, but it was all he could grab in that moment.

Adam watches the action, as he takes in the comment. "Kim Taehyung is a he." He frowns at the realisation that Isaac didn't know the man. "He's a singer?" 

Isaac crushes the now empty paper cup in one hand as he drops it in the wastebasket. "I must know you from somewhere else then." 

Adam lightly shrugs his shoulders. "I can't help you there." He ends the sentence with a nervous laugh as he sits down at his new desk, choosing to pull at one of the drawers in order to distract himself from the awkward moment. 

Isaac looks to his left to see the man fumbling about, his mind still in thought. Maybe he hadn't met him before. Perhaps it was because he looked like this famous singer. 

Adam looks back up to see Isaac looking at him, with Isaac quickly averting his gaze when he is seen. Isaac makes his way to his own desk and settles in front of his computer, daring to look up at the new addition, who was rapping his knuckles on the wooden desk. It causes Isaac to frown. "What are you doing?" 

"Waiting for you." Comes the reply..

"Waiting for me?" Isaac repeats, pointing to himself. 

"You need to send over some of your files to me to work on." Adam half laughed as if it were obvious. 

Isaac's mouth goes taut at the comment as he taps on his keyboard. "There." He says, making a forceful press to the last key. 

"You've been in here on your own for too long, huh?" Adam smiles. "That's not healthy."

"That's how I like it." Isaac is quick to reply, but almost straight away realises the fallout of his words. "I mean, I'm not used to it. It's a sudden change. That's what I mean." He smiles at Adam, who doesn't see, as he focuses on his own screen. 

"Well, you may just like it," Adam utters as he glances up at Isaac. Isaac wonders if he will like it. That would teach him not to read his emails.

"Have you heard of Kim Taehyung?" Isaac takes another draw from his fruit infused vape in between sentences as he looks across the grass of the city park, Zander is sat to his left on the bench, biting into a takeaway wrap. 

"I have. He's a singer in a group. They sang that song, you know, da nanana hey, dynamite. Something like that. They play it all the time on the radio." He replies. 

"I don't listen to the radio." Isaac looks at Zander, who was searching up the name. He offers his phone for Isaac to take a look. Isaac takes hold of the phone, pulling it closer to his face. Adam did look a little like him. "Kim's an unusual name for a guy."

"I believe that's his last name." Zander chuckles. "It's last name first in Korea.''

"Ohh." Isaac nods slowly. "How do you know that?" 

"We have clients from there so…." Zander shrugs, taking another bite of his food. "Anyway, why are you so interested in a famous guy from Korea?"

Isaac leans his heavy weight back against the bench, taking another puff from his vape. "My company has employed a new guy. We now share an office. I thought I knew him from somewhere so I asked. He said he looks like this Kim guy…. Anyways, it's clear I didn't or don't know him or that singer. But I just…" 

Zander looks to his right to see Isaac looking in the opposite direction. "Don't tell me, you feel like you have met him before. Another life, maybe?" 

Isaac turns to look back at Zander. "I don't know what's going on with me anymore. Nothing makes sense at the moment." He takes a hand to his chest, where he felt that strange sensation when he gazed into the man's eyes. "Maybe I should go see a doctor." 

"Just talk to Ian." Zander insists. "This may be something and nothing." 

"Perhaps." Isaac looks down at the ground. "That's if he'll talk to me. He still blames me for a lot of stuff." 

"Then just say sorry." 

"It would help if I knew what I was apologising for." Isaac points out. 

"Then you definitely need to see him and ask him." Zander reiterates. "I don't mind being here for you, but I can't give you the answers you want. I can only guide you." 

"Ok, ok. I'll go see my brother." Isaac promises. All he needed to do was make the first step if he dared….
