"You have Ari's number right?", Chan asked Jeongin as they left the boys campus and headed over to the girls.

Seungmin thought that was a dumb question. Jeongin had the biggest crush on her, it was impossible to not have her number. He even does.

"I do", Jeongin replied.

"Call her then", Chan ordered. He just really hoped the girl wasn't the one with Seungmin's phone.

"Call her and let me talk to her", Seungmin said to the maknae and he nodded, ringing the girl's number. Seungmin waited patiently even though he was walking, for the call to connect and when Jeongin offered him the phone, he felt every fibre in his body about to snap. "Lee Ari", he called, voice dangerously low.

"Seungmin?"

"Right", he confirmed, "Look, I give you just 10 seconds to be out of that gate when I get there and young lady, you better have my phone with you"

Chan closed his eyes briefly. "Yah, Seungmin. You didn't even ask if she is with it"

Seungmin glanced at his hyung with the phone to his ear. "She is with it. She is silent"

Chan had never been so disappointed. Why will Ari take his phone?. Even if they had some kind of unknown childish beef, that was some rough play.

"10 seconds Ari. 10 seconds". He ended the call and gave Jeongin his phone. How he had a phone but was using someone else's for calls, was also pissing him off. She better be with his phone. Either way, all hell will break loose.

Everyone was worrying for Ari. Even her brothers and their friends at school. Sadly, they couldn't leave school grounds until lectures ended officially.

Seungmin saw the tall fences of the girls dormitory and realised that never in his world did he imagine coming over here in a mid evening like this for Lee Ari. That girl was really testing his patience with her and that patience was nothing more than a flicking flame of a candle right now.

Jeongin and Chan waited in front of the gates with Seungmin at a respected distance. "What if she doesn't come out?", Jeongin asked, getting rid of his hair pins and glasses. He put them into his pants pockets, looking at Seungmin for an answer.

"I am going in", he deadpanned. He was leaving with his phone even if it meant breaching past the security.

Chan muttered a silent prayer that the girl would come out. He sounded like he meant what he said.

Seungmin let his hands drop at his sides when the girl stepped out of the gates. Her blonde hair was growing out, way below her shoulders. She looked so innocent especially being dressed in a white gown. Seungmin quickly glanced at her hands before looking back at her. "Where is my phone?". He wasn't seeing no gadget in her hands.

"Seungmin, calm down", Chan said in a quiet tone. He looked at Ari, "What did you come to the boys hostel to do?"

"I was permitted to take the new gardeners to the boys dorm masters", Ari replied, standing few feet away from them. For some reason.

"Were you permitted to go into our room though?", Jeongin asked.

"Yeah. By Chan"

"What?", said permitter asked, "I did not permit you, Ari. You asked for their room number and code and I gave it to you"

"You in a way permitted me"
