"Yerin!" Jeongguk's voice called, halting her mid stride. 

She let out a sigh, forcing a smile on her face as she turned around. Jeongguk jogged up to her his hair bouncing cutely along with him.

"Hey," He breathed out as he reached her, "I'm sorry were you in a rush since you left too fast?"

And she thought she had gotten away from the awkwardness.

Being in the studio throughout the shoot and clicking pictures along with instructing for the lighting was all she did, since Jeongguk was exceptionally amazing with his moves and their wasn't a single picture that didn't make him look involved with the theme. He was just that impressive. As time passed Yerin noticed how much kiddish and stubborn he was, she realised everytime they talked it was only and only fiddled and awkward.

Although she didn't talk much to him she still happened to tell him a few poses she wanted him to try and he would only huff and groan like a child, nevertheless doing as he was told. It irritated her, just the slightest and right now all she wanted was to go home and take a shower. Having a successful shoot she was ready to celebrate with her friends and not have to deal with the boy she recently met.

"Oh, right" She realised tugging at end of her skirt not really knowing what to do with her hands.

Jeongguk merely smiled, it was tight and almost forced as he figured on how to speak. It felt as if he couldn't form coherent words. But when Hoseok's words ringed in his ears he took courage to look at the girl.

.

Hoseok had his eyes narrowed towards the new photographer and Jeongguk conversing on the stage. His confusion simply grew when Sara entered the studio quietly, in attempt to pick her coat from the hanger near the door and leave. 

He noticed how Sara fisted her hands upon the sight of Yerin adjusting Jeongguk's collar, and soon dashed out after taking her coat.

"Why don't you just try it out?"

"Because hyung I barely know her and proposing something like this-" Jeongguk nervously ran his fingers through his hair not caring about messing it up since the shoot was over "Gosh are you crazy?"

"You know I would never suggest something to make someone uncomfortable but," Hoseok allowed his hands to rest on Jeongguk's shoulder as he nodded encouragingly, "I saw how Sara reacted to you talking to her and if you really want her back you should consider giving it a shot."

.

Fuck he really hopes this will go as expected.

Yerin had her eyes narrowed when Jeongguk barely spoke a word. She couldn't sense the tornado going on inside his head but damn was it weird standing their and avoiding eye contact when all the other did was stare at her nervously. "Well then... I'll see you around." She nodded stiffly ready to take a step out of the situation. But the warm hand around her wrist stopped her from doing so.

"No no wait!"

He rubbed the back of his neck while quickly letting go of her wrist when realising he held it from trying to stop her. "I, uh, I know you don't really know me and all but their's something I want to talk to you about." Jeongguk started, causing Yerin's stomach to drop at the nervous tone. Not knowing why that happened she let her attention be at the boy as she nodded urging him to continue.

"Will you be my fake girlfriend to make my ex jealous?"

Yerin blinked slowly, taking a moment to replay the question in her head. She almost didn't notice the way her heart did a jump, too involved in being surprised at the sudden request.
