Stella and Arin made their way together to meet up with Seungkwan and Vernon for lunch, and Stella instantly spotted the two leading the way.

"this is Seungkwan and Vernon, guys this is my friend Arin" Stella introduces the three

"hi nice to meet you both" Arin says to them and bows to them out of respect and they do the same

Arin, are you our age? you look our age"

"Yeah, i'm born in born in January 1998" Arin answers him

and Seungkwan exclaims

"Oh really? Seungkwan is also born in January" Stella tells her

Seungkwan side eyes Stella making Vernon laugh "isn't she your friend aren't you suppose to know"

"we've only small talked until today okay" Stella replies back

"when in January where you born?" Seungkwan then asks Arin reverting back to the topic

"18" Arin replies

"Ohhh really, i'm born on the 16" Seungkwan says excitedly finding someone who had almost the same birthday as hime

"Ohh really that's so crazy that means you're 2 days older than me" Arin says laughing as they took a seat in the booth of the restaurant. Stella and Arin sat next each other with Stella opposite of Vernon and Arin being opposite of Seungkwan

"How long have you been with the company? i don't think i've seen you before" Seungkwan then asks Arin making conversation, which he was always very good at

Arin looked at Stella for confirmation "i think it's been almost 3 months now, so not long"

Stella nods her head "yeah it hasn't felt too long"

"i'm glad you asked me to come with you today, i've been wanting to get to know you more but didn't know how to without it coming out the wrong way" Arin expresses to Stella

"I felt the same way, i wanted to become your friend from the first week you came but didn't want to seem too weird" Stella says clicking instantly with Arin

Seungkwan and Vernon shared a knowing glance with each other

"they look like they get along" Vernon says to him

"Yeah it's nice to see, she needs more friends" Seungkwan says making Vernon laugh and shake his head at his last comment "i didn't mean it like that, i just meant that she deserves to have more friends that are girls who dont treat her badly you know"

"We're glad Stella asked you to come too it's not everyday we're she would ask someone to come out with her, so she likes you" Vernon then says to Arin

Stella laughs and looks at Arin "im so sorry that they're being weird they're acting like they're my parents who are sending their child off to school"

Seungkwan rolls his eyes "well can you blame us, it's nice to see considering the past you've had with your stylists"

"why? because of the bad styling they did on her?" Arin asks

"not just that but they treated her really badly, talking behind her back and stuff" Seungkwan says feeling himself getting angry "every time i think about them my blood boils, i want to fight them, if you told me at the time i would have"

Stella laughs "it's in the past it doesn't bother me anymore as much as it once did"

"still i wish you told me or one of the members earlier, it would have saved you from so much more pain" Vernon says to her with an expression Stella couldn't quite place. She remembered how mad he was after finding out and blaming himself for not noticing it earlier
