Next were the individual scenes. Not everyone was included so the staff who were not required at that time took a short break. While they filmed Jeonghan's scene and the lift scene with only a few members, I was given a break then.

I used the break to use the toilet. I had to use the toilet designated for staff that was a little further. The toilet was down a few corridors that were really quiet. It was eerie and I had to admit the silence sent shivers down my spine when I made my way back. As I walked down the second last corridor, I saw a door in one of the rooms by the corridor open. It was accompanied by a slow creaking. There was no light coming out from it. The blood drained from my face. Was this place haunted? Why weren't there any people here? I slowly continued down the corridor. In order to get back, I had to pass the open door. I prayed in my heart endlessly. I stepped slowly.

Then soon, the door was just two steps away from me. I held my breath and made quick steps past the door without looking. Just as I did, I felt an arm or two reach out and pull me into the pitch black room. I shrieked. My shriek was cut short by a hand that covered my mouth. GHOSTS CAN DO THAT NOW?

"Hee-young," a voice behind me whispered.

It tickled my ear and I shuddered. The door shut and there was barely any light anymore. I struggled to get out of its grasp. The ghost knew my name. It kept calling out my name. The pitch black I was in did not help my nerves at all. I was pushed and my back was now on the cold, closed door.

Then the lights came on and I identified the "ghost" that stood in front of me. My cheeks went red. Well, that was kind of embarrassing.

"Yah, chill. It's me, Minghao. Sorry for scaring you," he apologised.

"No. I was scared for my life," I said to him, crossing my arms.

He hugged me and kept apologising over and over again, squeezing me tighter and tighter. He apologised in such a cute voice, I just had to give in.

"Ya ya ya, I forgive you, ok? Anyway, why did you drag me here? Did Jun tell you anything? Not that he had anything to tell you anything. I- I mean just- just ignore what I asked if nothing was said," I rambled on.

Jun could not be serious about what he said. He was just joking anyways. No worries.

"Yeah, something about kissing your ass and the insults? I overheard you. Jun didn't even need to tell me. I never knew you had it in you. I gotta say... I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!" he exclaimed, pinching my cheeks.

I swatted him away. Apparently, he was proud I followed in his footsteps and could now insult Jun.

"It was an accident and insulting is bad," I told him.

"Insults that are meant as a joke are ok. Jun can take a joke. But if he starts picking you up as a response, I think you can just call me to beat him up. Boy can't control his hormones," he mumbled the last sentence and I could barely hear it.

"You need to be more open to people. Don't be too afraid to put your thoughts out there. If someone's being mean, just say it," he added.

"You're mean," I told him right after.

His eyes widened and he was caught off-guard. Hahaha. Then, I saw a glint of guilt in his eyes. Perhaps it was just my imagination. Perhaps he just felt bad for abandoning me the last 3 months.

We talked a little more, catching up on the past 3 months.

"I heard you went back to China on Chuseok. How'd it go?" I asked him.

His body stiffened and he hesitated in answering. He scratched the back of his neck. He had trouble making eye contact with me.

"It went ok, I guess. They were normal. I got to spend some time with them," he replied.
