Your team winning against the defending champions became a hot topic on South Korean social media. But the thing is, your team winning against SK Knights isn't really the topic, but on how good-looking you and Jun are.
Multiple photos of you and Jun playing basketball circulated like crazy making those netizens who don't even watch basketball look at your team with curiosity. it also didn't help that IVE posted some selcas congratulating the team which added more fuel to the fire.
Meanwhile.
You are resting in your home after the rigorous training your coach made you and the others do. Your agent in the meantime was on phone the entire time.
"Man... he sure is dedicated to his job," You thought to yourself while watching your agent, who finally brought his phone down.
"Y/n, a lot of Korean variety shows from different networks want both you and Jun to be their guests." Your agent said, to which you immediately said no.
Your agent chuckled while saying "Ok then, I will let them know".

IVE on the other hand are now back in Korea after their successful mini-concert in Japan. but as sad as it may seem, the girls after coming back from Japan, immediately went to their respective schedules to fulfill the obligations of being the brand ambassador for some of South Korea's biggest brands.
Luckily or Unlucky. Liz is the only one who doesn't have any schedule at the moment.
"I wish I have something to do today"
Feeling down because of her current predicament, Liz just elected to just scroll through social media and she was surprised that you are trending at the moment.
She tap at your name to see the reason why you are trending and she saw multiple posts about you being a handsome man. She is happy that you are receiving positive reactions from the netizens but at the same time, she is not happy that no one even bothers to praise your performance.
"Y/n-Oppa is not just good-looking, he's also a very good basketball player," Liz thought to herself.
While she was scrolling to some content she then realized something. she tried rejecting what she is thinking right now but at the same time, she wants to do this since Rei and Wonyoung have shared their time with you alone.
"Will Y/n-Oppa say yes if I ask him to go out with me?" Liz thought to herself while sending you a message.

You who are still laying on your couch suddenly receive a message from the IVE main social media account. Knowing that it's the IVE main social media account you guessed that it could either be Gaeul, Liz, Rei, or Leeseo who sent you a message because Yujin and Wonyoung have their own social media accounts.
"Starship should really allow the other girls to have their own accounts"
You went to the message tab to check the message and saw that Liz is inviting you to go to a shopping mall nearby.
Since your training is done for today, you immediately replied yes to her and you two set the place and time to meet up.
----
You were first to arrive at the meeting place, surveying the people walking around while you were waiting for Liz. Fortunately, you didn't wait for long because Liz finally arrives.
While the two of you are walking around the mall, you can't help but feel mesmerized by Liz's beauty. Even if she's only wearing a very casual dress for the day, she made it look like a very expensive one.
You two checked multiple stores for some window shopping with Liz occasionally buying some stuff from those stores. Being the gentleman that you are, you insisted on carrying the shopping bags.

While you and Liz are happily chatting with each other. a certain 6'7 foreigner who's currently in South Korea to promote his shoe line.
"Is that Y/n? I did hear the news that he is going to be playing here professionally" He asked himself.
While he is deep in his thoughts, his agent called him, informing him that the event for his new shoes will start.
"Well, I'll probably go meet him before I get back to US"
---
After going to the mall, you invited Liz to the park to rest a bit, luckily the park wasn't crowded so you two got the best spot to watch the sunset.
While watching the sunset Liz rested her head on your shoulder, catching you off guard. Liz thanked you for accepting her invitation and that it really made her happy that you chose to spend the rest of the day with her with you just replying that it ain't much.
Afterward, Liz asked you if you want to go home since it is getting late but you replied by asking her if it is okay that you two should stay a bit longer and she says yes.
While her head is on your shoulder, Liz was gathering up the courage she can muster to ask you a simple favor.
"Oppa, can you call me Jiwon when we are alone?" she asked you shyly.
"Jiwon? is that your real name?" you asked her.
"Yes"
"I must say I think I kinda like your real name more than your stage name, so if you would allow me then I will call you Jiwon from now on." You said, making Liz happy that you complied with her request.
While you two are now currently enjoying the view, Liz can't help but look at you occasionally because she thinks that she is falling deeper in love with you.
"Y/n-Oppa you don't how much happy you made me feel today, and I hope I made you happy too. And I'm also glad that I finally manage to spend some time with you alone, I hope that this won't be the last time that we will be able to meet like this."
