"Can I kiss you?"

Yerin was certain her heart stopped in her chest stuttering into oblivion. When she looked up to face him Jeongguk was still very much near to her face not moving at all as to respect her decision. She gulped nervous eyes staring at him as she spoke, "You want to?"

Jeongguk indicated a subtle nod to behind him as Yerin glanced to where he pointed and her eyes landed on Sara who stood just outside the studio room talking to a man, Niko, Yerin knew him from the finance department since being an intern she almost had to do everything that included even working on easier tasks from the said department. Upon the sight her shoulders slumped as she cursed at herself for thinking otherwise.

Of course he was going as the plan.

With a last subtle look Yerin noticed how Sara kept glancing towards the two, she sighed facing Jeongguk again. (For the sake of the contract!) "Fine go ahead."

As careless as it sounded it was nothing like that at all to Yerin. Her palms felt clammy as she was somewhat amiable when Jeongguk smiled soft. She didn't notice her hands in tight fists until Jeongguk held them and almost immediately she let her palm open welcoming his.

"Close your eyes."

Yerin held his eyes for a moment clearly hesistating. "It'll just be a peck, calm down I don't bite." He teased cheekily and Yerin had a huge urge to roll her eyes at that. However, she breathed out a small chuckle watching as Jeongguk leaned in slowly. Taking comfort in that Yerin let her eyes fall shut.

And then, he kissed her.

The kiss barely lasted longer than a few seconds and as he had said, it was only a peck. A single touch of his soft lips on hers was enough to leave an eliciting fire surge through her body. Yerin breathed out lips tingling in remembrance as she opened her eyes to look into his.

"Is she still their?" Jeongguk asked lowly eyes somewhat hooded but Yerin paid no heed to that as she glanced over his shoulder to find the hallway empty behind him.
Yerin shook her head, "Do you think she saw that?"
"Probably." Jeongguk guessed clearing his throat as he moved back after clearly having invade her space.

Yerin nodded and Jeongguk wasn't really sure to why he felt so.... jumpy? His heart was beating fast in his chest as the two walked alongside towards the exit. Not understanding the sudden overwhelming feeling in his guts he let the lack of intimacy be the ultimate reason for him getting hyped up over a peck.

Having a pleasant wake up from the changed and much calm tone of her alarm Hyeri was pretty much pleased with the morning. Being in a happy mood is all she asks for when coming to this hell hole, aka her work place. Although Hyeri isn't an intern and isn't constantly being rushed around the building for various tasks, the thought itself makes her feel bad for Yerin as she momentarily takes her time with cursing at Yoongi in her mind, she still isn't most cheery to come to work.

Hyeri put her car keys in her purse as she pulled out her card to scan it through the small machine at the entry gate. Once finally being inside, warm and content she approached her cabin.

"Ouch." A silent yelp left her lips when she bumped into a tall hard figure. Eyebrows scrunched in irritation Hyeri let her eyes narrow into a glare as she turned her head up to face two men standing in front of her. Upon the sight of the man she was left surprised.

"Hoseok?"

Said man was equally surprised as he gaped at the girl, "H-hey." Hoseok rubbed the back of his neck in slight timidness giving her a small smile, "We tend to bump into each other a lot, literally."

"Yeah." Hyeri chuckled out enjoying the way Hoseok remained shy. Fleetingly her eyes landed on the boy next to him and was quick in widening.

"Holy shit! Jeongguk!" Hyeri screeched causing the boy who was talking on the phone flinch in surprise as he turned to face her. "Fuck you are the fake boyfriend! Right?"

Hoseok and Jeongguk visibly tensed at the exclaimation of the girl as Jeongguk hurriedly ended the call turning to face her with wide surprised eyes, "Keep it down will you?" He hissed.

"Sorry, jeez." She apologized dryly, raising a brow as she mimicked his motions, "Not completely my fault anyways, how would you react if you see an attractive man who is also your best friend's boyfriend."

Hoseok shifted uncomfortably on his spot not really liking the sound of the conversation as Jeongguk grew flustered at the compliment. Hyeri chuckled at the nervous men as she carelessly shrugged.
"You must be Hyeri." Jeongguk stated nodding his head as a brief greeting.

"Call me noona maybe." She winked at the already rattled boy as he gulped nodding. "And yeah nice to meet you, finally." She chuckled when Jeongguk finally smiled shaking his hands with her. A piercing ring ripped through the air and Jeongguk hastily pulled out his phone, he glanced at the other two as she urged him to go take the call.

When the younger boy gladly scurried out of the situation Hoseok grinned towards the girl when she smiled. "Who knew we'd be working at the same place." She piped out and Hoseok let out a short laugh.

"Anyways my offer for the coffee still stands." Hoseok shyly muttered keeping his eyes solely on the girl. He was determined to get to know the girl more, and even though he never imagined himself to be interested in someone at the moment and she was completely different from how he imagined his girlfriend to be like, he still knew she has managed to spark the interest.

The single thought of Hyeri being his potential partner in the future caused the man to blush. He might even call it love at first sight.

"Who am I to deny."
