Florencia got her new apartment a bit over a week later, which was a pleasant surprise for her because she thought it would take much longer. There was an opening in the building where Nari and Narda lived, coincidentally right next door to them. She was more than happy with her new apartment, and SM Entertainment had the members of EXO help her move her things over, more for publicity than to help her. The apartment was several times bigger than the little room in the EXO dorms she had been temporarily given, and it was awkward sleeping in a place full of boys. Getting in the shower was the worst. Since she refused to use the communal bathrooms on EXO M's side, she'd always use the private bath in Sehun's room, which he shared with Junmyeon. Florencia would kick them out of the room for an hour when she needed to take a bath. Junmyeon didn't mind, but Sehun always found himself complaining and pounding on the door to hurry her up. Her new apartment had two bedrooms, one of which her sister would use while visiting her from Mexico.

On the first week that she was living there, Sehun visited her, as was forced onto him by his agency. They would take turns visiting each other, which had been agreed by their managers. Though whenever she went over to the dorms, they were all smiles and adoring looks. There wasn't a lot of touching, since both of them weren't keen on showing PDA in front of the other members. When he visited her, they were serious and quiet whenever Acacia was sleeping. They didn't have to put on a show for anyone.

Sehun showed up with a little white dog in his arms on a morning of her second week in Korea, and a small luggage trailing behind him. "I need to ask you for a big favor." He started as he entered his girlfriend's apartment so they could have breakfast together. 

Florencia had been woken up that morning by a phone call from Sehun, trying to reach her. She missed the first one, and he called her two more times before she picked up. It was a day in which both of them had their own schedules. Sehun had heavy dance practices that day, while Florencia had photo shoots--more photo shoots, to integrate her to the SM website as well as billboards and pamphlets in the building's lobby. Her manager at SM wanted to have her put everywhere because she was Sehun's girlfriend, and because she was very visual. There was also the fact that she was SM's first non-Asian idol, and that brought them more media attention and more fans. Florencia never knew how hard idols in Korea worked until she had to become one. Even through that, Sehun had pointed out to her that her schedules weren't even that bad. 

But she wasn't used to working that hard, and for her it was draining.

She was still in her pajamas, a pink satin night dress and a robe made of the same material which she used to cover herself. He hadn't given her much time to change into something else. Her long black hair fell past her shoulders messily. On the table, breakfast was already prepared. The SM managers had paid someone to make breakfast for her every morning, and for it to be ready by the time she and her sister got up in the morning.

"You're cold around me and you won't forgive me for what I did, yet you're so comfortable coming here asking me for a favor." She pointed out, crossing her arms over her chest. She let him into the apartment and closed the door behind him. He walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. Florencia followed behind him.

"This is important." He insisted, immediately taking a dramatic tone. "A life is at stake."

Florencia heaved a sigh and gave a roll of her eyes. Her expression only softened when Vivi jumped off Sehun's lap and went over to her. Florencia's demeanor changed entirely and she became cheerful and nice. She picked him up in her arms and looked to Sehun as she said, "Let me guess. The life of this cutie is at stake." She then turned her attention to Vivi, holding her high above her head. "What's your baby's name, Sehun?"
