After waking up this morning, I posted the photos that Joshua took yesterday. Honestly, even if I received hate comments, I just try my best to ignore them, though sometimes it still gets to me. As long as I know I haven't done anything wrong, I don't really care about what they say.

Joshua's POV:

Today, we had practice for our new comeback "World", and it's also Arisa's first day. I wonder how she is doing; I guess I'll find out during lunch later. "Ya Joshuji, you went on a date with Areum and didn't tell us?" Jeonghan questioned me the moment I stepped into the studio. "How did you guys find out?" I asked in surprise. "You guys literally posted the same picture just at different times. We ain't stupid, hyung," Dino replied, crossing his arms like a sassy little girl.

As the members bombarded me with questions, I noticed Hoshi looking a bit mad. I immediately went up to speak to him. "Hoshi-ya, can I talk to you for a second?"

"Sure, what's up?"

"Are you angry?"

"Angry? That you and Areum went out without telling me?"

"Yeah, don't be mad at her, Hoshi. I was the one who asked her out."

"Tell me honestly, hyung, are you serious about her?"

"I am, Hoshi. 100% serious about her. There's something about her that's different."

"Okay, fine. I trust you. You better not break my bestie's heart. If not..." Hoshi said, trying to threaten me with a serious face.

"Yes, sir," I chuckled, and we hugged before starting practice for our comeback.

After two hours of dancing and sweating, I decided to drop Arisa a text to see if she wanted to eat lunch with us.

Arisa's POV:

I was in a meeting with the Gose directors, discussing the upcoming episodes and what we should do for the boys. Then, I received a text from Shua asking me to meet them for lunch downstairs.

Bambi🦌:
"Hey, are you free right now? Can you meet me and the guys downstairs for lunch?"

Me:
"Sure, I don't mind. I'll be down in a sec!"

"Alright, guys, I'm gonna grab some lunch downstairs. See you later!" I grabbed my phone and wallet and left the office. Luckily, having my own office made it more convenient for me to work.

"Heyyyy, there's our favorite girl!" Hoshi waved at me when I arrived.

"Alright, what's good here? I'm literally starving."

"Hmm, the pasta here is not bad. You should try that," Minghao suggested.

"Sure, why not?" I went to queue up for the pasta when I felt a tall presence behind me. "Oh my gosh, Mingyu, are you getting this too?"

"Yeah, I love the pasta here," he smiled widely. For some reason, he reminded me of a huge puppy?

We sat down at the longest table available, with all 14 of us eating together. "How's your first day of work?" Scoups asked.

"Not bad, actually. I have my own office, and the people are quite nice."

"Of course, they better be. Anyone who dares to bully my Areum will be dead in 2 seconds," Hoshi said, sounding like my father. "Yah, pabo, I'm not yours," I scolded playfully.

"In my heart, you are forever my little sister," Hoshi said, putting his hand over his heart, pretending to be hurt by what I said. He was such a goofball.

**Ring... Ring... Ringgg**

- Tae is calling -

"Yeoboseyo? Oh, Taeyong oppa, hi! How are you?"

Taeyong:
"Uh, Areum-ah, we saw your IG post. You're back in Korea. Why didn't you text me and Mark? You know how much we miss you!"

"Sorry, oppa. I've been so busy these days, I forgot. I can come visit you next week?"

Taeyong:
"You better. Yoo Arisa, it's Mark!"

I giggled as I heard Mark screaming in the background. It was quite loud I think even the guys heard it.

"Yes, yes, hi Mark! I've missed you too. Can we arrange it over text?"

Taeyong:
"Okay, annyeonggg, Areum!"

"Bye!"

**- The call has ended -**

"You know Mark and Taeyong from NCT?" DK asked, looking a bit shocked.

"Yeah, we once had a photoshoot together for a magazine, and we became super good friends after that. I'm surprised you guys didn't know a bit about it. After the photoshoot was released, it went viral in Korea, which made us quite popular."

"Woah, that's cool. Our Arisa is quite popular, aren't you?" Han joked.

"Well, you guys aren't too bad yourselves," I teased, and they all laughed.

After an hour of chatting, we decided it was time to head back to work. "Annyeong, Arisa. We've got to get back to practice. See you tomorrow!" Hoshi said as the guys waved goodbye.

I returned to the office and continued discussing work with the directors. At the end of the day, we decided to plan a family outing for the guys, and Mr. Boo would be the main character. It would be called "Boomily Outing." It sounded fun, and we were even going to rent out a whole town for them; crazy stuff.

Joshua's POV:

After lunch, I couldn't stop thinking about Arisa knowing Mark and Taeyong from NCT. I mean, they are really good-looking guys. What if she has a crush on one of them? Am I overthinking this?

"Joshua, can you focus a bit?" Hoshi noticed that I wasn't really concentrating.

"Oh, sorry," I tried to refocus on practice, but my mind kept wandering. Maybe I should just ask her? Nah, that would seem too desperate. Stop overthinking, Josh. They're probably just friends.
