Leo's P.O.V 

~3 week time skip~

"Make sure to be here on time." My father warned through the phone.

"Araso." I answered reassuringly.

"And this time, you better not leave. Otherwise, I'll consider sending you to America." He said jokingly but in a serious tone.

"Don't worry, this time I won't leave even if my life depends on it." I responded.

"See you at 6. I have to go now, I have a meeting." He said and hung up before I could say anything.

L: You're coming at 6 right?  I texted Mina
M: Hmmmmmm... I don't know, are you running to another girl this time too?
L: Yah! I already explained that!
M: I kid, I kid. See you in a bit, I have to get ready.

Mina's P.O.V 

I changed into a pretty purple dress with silver heels and curried my hair. By the time I finished my whole beauty process, it was already 5:15 and I decided to arrive early this time to practice with the cutlery.

When I arrived Leo was already there pacing impatiently.

"I knew you would come early. I couldn't wait to see you." He said as he hugged me and buried his face in my neck.

"Of course, I don't want to look like a fool in front of your mother again." I said as I cupped his face and hugged him back.

I practiced over and over, and Leo used every excuse possible to touch me. I would hold the fork one way and he would back hug me just to correct my posture. But I didn't mind at all.

It was now 6 and all members invited were sitting in their respective seats.

"So Mina, tell me about yourself." Leo's mother asked.

"I'm starting my senior year at Seoul University. I'm a music major and I'm going to go into the entertainment industry." I responded nervously.

"Interesting." She said and looked displeased.

Thankfully my parents were there and they kept the conversation going to Mrs.Jung's standards.

"So I was thinking..."  Mr.Jung said abruptly. "Why don't we speed up the process. How about this autumn after Mina graduates?"

I began choking on my food and Leo immediately got up to pat my back. My parents in the other hand seemed much more calm than I.

"That would be splendid." My mother responded but I could see her fist clenched under the table.

"What is your opinion Mina?" His father asked me.

"Uh... umm, well.... the thing is... isn't it still too soon?" I responded as calmly as I could.

"You two seem to get along well, and there's still a year to go until your graduation, I'm sure you two will grow fond of each other." His father justified.

"What do you think Leo?" His father asked him next.

"I think that's perfect, as long as you can keep it hidden from the media. I am in an idol boy group after all." Leo said calmly warning great disapproval from his mother.

"This coming fall it is." His father announced earning mixed reactions.
