|| 10 days before the event ||

*at the company*

enha's managers take a deep sighs before they asked the members to come to the room for an emergency meeting.

the members : what happened?
manager1 : for your big event performance's outfits. we have the rookie stylist to style your outfits for you all. but she completely messed up the concept. and now no one else is available to do that so we have a problem
heeseung : what? then what are we going to do? what about the other stylists-nim?
manager2 : since it's a big event, everyone is very busy preparing outfits for artists, so no one's available.

the members were all shocked and nervous. they have been preparing for this performance for so long and even look forward to go fitting in the outfits. but then jake spoke up

jake : well, i have a friend. she's majored in designing and has experienced styling for people. i think she can styled our concept's outfits.
sunghoon : you means, ashley?
jungwon : ashley? who's that?
jake : she's my best friend in sustralia. she's really talented. i can ask her if the company agree.

everyone is looking at each other and one of the manager went to the staff's office to ask. a few minutes later, she came back and told jake the staff agreed. so jake gives out a smile and grab his phone to text ash.

^ash's pov^

*ding* ( one message from jake )
why is jake texting me at this hour. she then grabbed her phone to check
jake : ashley, im sorry to text you at this hour but something urgent came up and we need your help.
ash : huh? what happened? and how can i help?
jake : my stylist that supposed to styled the group's stage outfits put on the wrong concept and no one else is available.
ash : what? oh my gosh~ that's bad. but why?
jake : well, i talked to the managers about you and showed them some of your works and they agreed. so can you...come here and help us? please ash?

ash paused a little before she response back to jake

ash : but jake? it's a big event, i don't know if i can do it. and my dad, i don't know what he will say.
jake : oh...im sorry for bothering you. i'll tell them that you're not available.
ash : no jake wait, *sighs* i will try. i'll book a flight for tomorrow afternoon flight.
jake : are you really? ash..thank you. the company will do everything. just pack everything you need, rest early.

ash quickly pack everything she needs for the outfits and some clothes. she hesitated to tell her parents about the urgent travel so she went to sleep, woke up early and left. then text her mom
ash : mom, something came up and i need to go to korea. sorry i didn't tell you earlier. please tell dad i'll be back in a week.
ash's mom : what? young lady i don't know why you think it's okay to do this.

jake : oh my god ash, i miss you so muchhh
ash : i know, it's been so long
jake : right, let's go my manager is waiting for us.

|| at the company ||

ash go straight to the office to talk with the staffs. and the members are all sitting in quiet hesitated to say anything since ash looks cold and serious. until jay broke the ice.

jay : so you're ash? hi, my name is jay.
ash : hello jay *smile*
heeseung : hey ash, im the eldest heeseung.
ash : hello~
sunoo, niki, sunghoon : hello, we're sunoo, niki and sunghoon.
ash : hello everyone, sunghoon? i heard quite a little about you from jake.
jungwon : im jungwon...the leader.

ash froze for a second as jungwon's face is very familiar. after a little ash smile and say hi back.

ash quickly got to work, went to the market to buy materials and go back straight to the company to start working on the clothes.

|| 2 days before the event ||

^ash's pov^
it's been almost a week, i finished the outfits early. im so happy. i hope the outfits fit them well. the boys are surprisingly nice. i clicked well with jungwon and heeseung. but now, I need to pack and go back or dad will kill me.

*ding* ( one message from jake )

jake : hey ash, i heard you finished the outfits?
ash : yeah i just finished it~ i'll prepare everything first before i send it to the company
jake : wow, as expected from my talented girl.
ash : stop being so cringe..*laugh*
jake : *smiles* by the way, the members want us to have a dinner together. lets meet up in our dorm and go together
ash : okay, give me 30mn~

|| at the restaurant ||

sunoo : wow, foods! 
heeseung : ahh, this is so nice.
jay : i heard you finished it? wow ash, you're so talented.
ash : *smile* thank you~ i hope you all fit them well and comfortably dancing in it.
jungwon : ahh really, you are so talented ash~

ash smiles at jungwon then everyone enjoyed their dinner. then enha invited ash to their dorm to eat more.

niki : this is our dorm, it's not so messy thanks to jay hyung~
ash : wow, jay is so good at cleaning
sunghoon : most of the time, it's him that make a mess so it makes sense.

everyone laughed and talked for a little while until ash's phone rang. ( dad..)
ash froze and take a deep breath before she pick it up
ash : dad?
ash's dad : why are you there for so long? i thought you're serious about designing? and now you're just gone for something stupid for what a week?
ash : dad, im going back in a few days, why are you making this so serious
ash's dad : you have to comeback, tomorrow.
( the call cut off)

ash try to hide the tears then walk out heading to the park downstairs. jake was about to run after her until sunghoon said "let give her some space"

ash is sitting on a bench looking at the sky. then heard footsteps approaching her.

jungwon : are you okay..?
ash : guess it..
jungwon : *pats ash* it's okay...he's just worried about you.
ash : you don't know. he never agree to what i like. even if i tried. he called my work 'stupid' when i tried to prove him. *sob*
jungwon looked at ash then pats her head.

jake got worried so he came downstairs to see ash. his heart dropped when he sees ash laughing with jungwon while sitting on the bench together. jake slowly walked back to the dorm.
