ISHITA

As I walked out of the Hybe, I was lost in my thoughts when suddenly, there they were—Mingyu and Khushboo, walking towards me hand in hand. The sight caught me off guard, but before I could react, they noticed me. Instantly, their hands slipped apart almost as if caught in the act. 

"Hey there," I greeted cheerfully, unable to suppress a knowing grin as I caught Mingyu and Khushboo in their moment of surprise. They exchanged a quick glance, their cheeks faintly flushing with embarrassment. Mingyu scratched the back of his head nervously while Khushboo tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, trying to regain composure.

"Hey," Mingyu finally managed, his voice slightly strained. Khushboo simply smiled, her eyes betraying a hint of amusement despite her attempt to appear nonchalant.

"Caught you guys at a bad time?" I teased playfully, enjoying their flustered reactions.

Mingyu chuckled awkwardly. "Uh, no, not at all. Just, uh, heading to grab a coffee," he replied, his words coming out in a slightly rushed manner.

"Right, yeah, coffee," Khushboo chimed in, her smile widening as she nudged Mingyu gently with her elbow.

"Well, enjoy your coffee," I said with a grin, deciding not to tease them further. As they nodded and bid me farewell, I couldn't help but chuckle to myself at the unexpected twist in my day. It was moments like these that added a touch of humor to the routine, making every encounter with friends a memorable one.

I paused just as I was about to get into the car, my hand on the door handle, when I heard Jin oppa's voice calling my name from behind.

Turning around, I saw oppa approaching with a warm smile on his face. "Ishita!" he called out again, his voice filled with familiarity and friendliness.

"Hey Jin oppa!" I exclaimed, returning his smile as I walked over to greet him. It was always a pleasure to see him; his cheerful presence never failed to brighten my day.

"What are you up to?" he asked, curiosity twinkling in his eyes. "Just heading out," I replied, gesturing towards the car. "What about you?"

"I was just on my way to grab some lunch. Care to join me?" he suggested, his inviting demeanor making it hard to refuse. "That sounds great!" I replied eagerly, knowing that catching up with him over a meal would be a delightful break in my day

"So how's your shoot going on?" Oppa asked casually, his attention briefly shifting to the menu card in his hand as we settled into our seats at the restaurant. I smiled, appreciating his interest in my work. "It's been hectic but really exciting," I replied, glancing at the menu myself. "We've been filming some intense scenes lately, but it's all coming together nicely."

"That's great to hear," He nodded, placing the menu back on the table. "I always admire how dedicated you are to your work." "Thanks, oppa. It means a lot coming from you," I said sincerely, touched by his supportive words.

"So, umm, how is Miss Sneha?" Oppa asked, his voice betraying a hint of playfulness as he glanced up from the menu. I couldn't help but suppress a smile at his question. It was clear to me—and probably to everyone else—that Jin had a soft spot for our producer, Miss Sneha. She was not just talented but also had a charm that was hard to miss.

"Oh, you know Sneha," I replied lightly, deciding to play along a little. "She's her usual busy self, keeping everything running smoothly on set." He chuckled softly, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "She's something, isn't she? Always on top of things."

"Yeah, definitely," I agreed with a grin, enjoying the lighthearted conversation. It was amusing to see Oppa's fondness for Miss Sneha shining through in his words and expressions.
