Drumming my fingers lazily against the desk, the teacher standing at the front of the classroom begins to speak as I look up from my table, slightly disinterested. After all, the whole class was forced to stay back in school.
"I hope all of you are present. I have a very important announcement to make," The teacher says, continuing. "A few of you here might have heard of it. All of you students here now will me assigned to a few F&B businesses here in Seoul to learn. Now pay attention as I read the names of who is assigned to where, as well as the students in charge,"
"Firstly, the team that will be heading to Zhong Enterprise's new restaurant," My ears perk at the sound of Renjun's family company as I glanced at him sitting diagonally in front of me.
He stirred in his seat rather uncomfortably as he hears the Teacher's words.
"The team leader will, of course, be Renjun. His team will consist of Jaehyun, Haru and Jung Hye." Upon hearing my name being called, I bit my lower lip as I glance at Renjun once more, this time his gaze meeting mine.
I sighed. "Looks like I'll inevitably meet her, then."

As I was sorting out some documents regarding the learning trip in the study room's table, the door abruptly opens, and Chenle enters while humming a happy tune.
"You came at the right time...but,"
"What're you so happy about?" I asked.
"Nothing, I just suddenly remembered that night at the convenience store. Still can't believe she thinks of me as a boss." Chenle chuckled as he pulls out his phone and sits on a couch.
After listening to his words, I purse my lips in thought.
"You know, that night I asked her that, now I'm going to ask you," I placed the last of the documents into a file. "What do you think of Ha Eun?"
Chenle stops fiddling with his phone to look at me with a confused expression. "Huh?"
"For example...Do you like her?"
"Do I like her?" He repeats, eyes wide.
"Yeah, like, more than friends."
"Why are you asking..." Furrowing his brows, he looks away.
"Nothing. I was just curious." I shrugged.
"Then, I don't know."
"You don't know?"
Chenle stays silent.
"Well, you should think it through," I pick up the file and place it on the desk in front of the couch. "And when you're sure of it, do what's necessary." I smiled slightly, gesturing to the file.
"Anyways, those over there are profiles of the students and staff of the restaurant. If you look, you'll see that the two siblings will definitely meet. How do you think Jaehyun will respond if you ever realise your feelings towards her?" Still grinning, I close the door behind me with a soft click.
Back in his room, Chenle lay in his bed thinking about Renjun's words.
"You don't know? Well, you should think it through. And when you're sure of it, do what's necessary."
"The two siblings will definitely meet. How do you think Jaehyun will respond if you ever realise your feelings towards her?"
"Do what's necessary..." He mumbles under his breath as he stares at his phone screen that shone brightly. It lit up from receiving a message from Ha Eun herself.
He didn't have to think it through. He already knows, and he's got only one answer to Renjun's question.
And for all he knows, Jaehyun won't very much like the answer he has.

third person p.o.v
The day students from Jeonghal School of Business and Finance has finally arrived.
Renjun, being the team leader as well as a representative for the Zhongs, is responsible for this learning trip.
"Ha Eun." He calls out to the girl who is preparing for her work as a waitress. She's been quite used to it, since it's been nearly a week.
"Yeah?" She faces Renjun.
"I have to introduce you to the students. Come to the staff room when you're done." He tries to act normal, but Ha Eun felt his reluctance. She nods in reply and Renjun leaves.
After putting on her attire, she enters the staff room, greeted by students and staff.
"Since everyone is here now, I'll start the introductions," Renjun's eyes trail onto Jaehyun. "As I was saying,"
"This is Jung Jaehyun, he is a scholarship student at school."
She look up at the boy in surprise.
Jung Jaehyun?
"Hello. My name is Jung Jaehyun." He bows, a wide smile on his face as he introduces himself, his prominent dimples showing.
"Jaehyun...?" A gasp escaped between her lips.
Ha Eun always remembered my Brother as one who loves to smile with his dimples.
As the introductions came to an end and everyone disperses to do their work, She stops Jaehyun from leaving the staff room.
"Excuse me, er, Jaehyun-sshi." She awkwardly begins.
"Yes, do you need anything?" He pauses in his footsteps, flashing me a kind smile, but his gaze was elsewhere.
"Um...this may sound a little odd if I'm wrong, but," I look up and stare into his eyes. "Are you my Brother?"
He shows no change of expression. "Your brother?"
"Yeah, um...you know what, I'm sorry, I think I got it wrong." She managed a smile.
As I turn to leave, he stops me. "Hey,"
"You're not wrong."
