It had been a week since she last saw the boy, but she wasn't nervous this time. They had been texting over the past few days, so she felt comfortable with him. Already in the classroom, she began working on the project while she waited for the Enhypen members to arrive.

Once the members arrived, they went straight to their photographer. "Hey, Hyejin," Ni-ki said, waving as he walked towards her. She looked up and felt starstruck again. He was wearing a white tank with a blue Chicago Cubs jersey and black pants, and he had on two necklaces along with his usual piercings.

"Oh hey," Hyejin replied, trying not to let her surprise show. "Have you made any progress with the concept photos?" Ni-ki asked as he sat down next to her.

"Yeah, I have. Since you mentioned the album has a romantic theme, I wanted to make some of the concept photos a bit more lighthearted. I still want to keep the vampire lore, but make it more subtle," Hyejin explained, glancing at her notes.

"Cool," Ni-ki replied, meeting her gaze. "We can look through the catalog of clothes the company provided and choose what fits my ideas best," Hyejin suggested. She wanted to involve him in picking the wardrobe to ensure he felt comfortable with the items she selected.

After about thirty minutes of browsing through clothes, Hyejin spotted a hoodie she liked. It had horns on the hood—an interesting way to represent a vampire—but it was also pink. "Oh, I like that hoodie! What do you think?" she asked with a smile.

"Nope. I don't want to wear that," Ni-ki said immediately, shaking his head and catching Hyejin off guard. "Why not?" Hyejin asked, puzzled by his reaction. "It's pink," Ni-ki replied.

"Really, Riki? That's the reason you don't want to wear it?" Hyejin exclaimed, surprising him by using his birth name. "So you're calling me Riki now?" Ni-ki asked, still taken aback.

"It just slipped out, I guess," Hyejin said shyly. He chuckled at her reaction and reassured her that it was fine.

After another thirty minutes, they had finished picking out the remaining pieces of the wardrobe. It took some effort, but she eventually persuaded Ni-ki to wear the pink hoodie. He agreed only after she promised not to make him wear pink for anything else.

With a few minutes to spare before Ni-ki had to leave, they started chatting about anything and everything. When it was time for him to go with his members, they said their goodbyes. "I'll text you later," Ni-ki said as he began to walk away. Hyejin only nodded as she noticed Jiwoo walking towards her.

They headed to another building on campus for their last class of the day. Along the way, they joked about skipping their history class, which always made them sleepy, but decided against it since they had a test coming up. Instead, they planned to grab a drink with Hayun and Yejun after class since they were all free.
