Even when Mikha's lips left hers, Aiah was still not out of it.

Mikha smiled. "You okay?"

Aiah blinked, and said, "I wasn't prepared for that, can we try it again?"

Just as she finished speaking, something was placed in her hand. Her center of gravity shifted forward, and she looked down to see a little watermelon.

....they were hugging this thing while they kissed?

Aiah felt that it was a pretty bad kissing experience!

She asked, "You were holding this the whole time?"

"Yeah," Mikha said. "Why did you run so fast?"

Aiah could feel her cheeks heating up again and stammered. "Ho... how did you know my room number?"

"I told her." Maloi's voice sounded to her left. She walked out of her room, wearing a smile that was so forced it looked so funny to Mikha. "How could you be so cold- hearted to leave Director Lim alone in the parking lot?" Maloi asked.

This sentence, when translated, would mean: What can't you finish saying in the parking lot that you had to run huh?!

Aiah knows Maloi too much it's starting to scare her.

But Aiah did not respond for a long while. When Maloi looked, her celebrity, who had no makeup on, was sporting a noticeable blush.

Aiah asked, "Are you coming in?"

Maloi was silenced.

"No," Mikha answered, looking at her watch. "I have to meet a friend."

Why does this person have friends everywhere?

"Alright," Aiah leant against the door. She wanted to say something, but even after opening and closing her mouth a few times, could only manage a, "Drive carefully."

Mikha said, "Keep that to remind yourself."

"....oh"

Mikha had turned around, but had barely taken a few steps when inspiration struck Aiah and she called out loudly. "You... you will take responsibility, won't you?!"

Her voice was not confident.

Mikha paused, and couldn't help laughing.

"Yeah!"

Maloi was confused.

It was only when the elevator door closed slowly did Maloi , her expression complicated, reach out and wave her hand a few times in front of Aiah's eyes. "Get back in your head."

Aiah stopped looking at the elevator door, smiling brightly. "Maloi, what do I do, I think I'm falling in love."

Maloi tugged at the corners of her lips "....let's talk about this inside."

After running into the room, Aiah immediately snatched up the phone she had shoved into the bottom of her bag.

[Mikha: Why did you run?]

[Mikha: What's your room number?]

And a missed call.

Maloi sat down, and said, "Get rid of that silly expression right now."

Thus, Aiah tugged down the corners of her mouth, making herself appear serious while she sent Mikha a sticker.

"As this time the cast is a rather impressive one, at tomorrow's opening ceremony there'll be plenty of media. When they're taking photos they will not bother helping you photoshop yours." Maloi placed the facial mask on the table, saying, "Get your head in the game for me tonight, put aside for later all this talk of love and such."
