She has been chasing after him for almost a year.

When they were paired up on We Got Married, he knew for a fact that she was attractive as hell and through the course of the show, he realized she had a big heart too.

But he had dreams, and despite the attraction and attachment he feels— maybe a little infatuation too. He doesn't think it's worth the risk.

He had rejected her attempts too many times to count, reminded her to not give in to feelings that can just a fabrication of their show— at least that's what he tells himself daily.

He almost cried happily when they were advised that they are leaving the show. It was time to go and even if it killed him to see her cry prettily for him, he knew she'll eventually forget.

Or so he thought.

She was everywhere after their show ended.

She would go visit him on his filming sites, bringing bags of donuts and his favorite coffee. She would introduce herself as his ex-wife to his co-stars, most especially to the female ones to make sure they stay away from him.

She would hang out with his hyungs at their dorm, drinking can of beers and playing computer games with them as if she belongs there, and when he asks why she showed up— she'll claim she wasn't there for him but managed to cook his favorite kimchi rice before he can make her leave.

He once attempted to ask another idol on a date, just to see if this will finally make her give up. But he earned a slap from the girl even before he could finish his sentence because she already told the girl that they're in this on and off relationship. She shrugged it off when he confronted her— claiming the girl must have misunderstood.

She was his waking nightmare and he has told her enough times he's not interested. She would tear up and tell him how mean and selfish he is before walking away. But the next day she'll be there again, making his favorite food with his favorite coffee in tow.

He doesn't understand why she won't give up. He's too busy for love. Too busy to dwell on feelings that she probably got from a stupid show they were both in.

"Sungjaeya, when are you finally gonna give in huh?" His Changsub hyung teased, as they watch the girl flounce around their kitchen to make them dinner. It's the third time this week and considering she's in her comeback week, he's surprised she still found time to annoy the hell out of him.

He glared at Changsub before getting up from his computer chair, he walked to the kitchen to find her still dressed up in a rainbow coloured backless dress that ends just above her thigh. He frowned before tapping her shoulder.

"What are you even doing here Joyiah? You're all dressed up! You should've just went straight home!" He scolded earning a roll of eyes from her.

"I didn't come for you, pabo! I promised Changsub oppa we'll eat samgyeopsal once the black pork from my aunt in Jeju arrived and it did! Today! So leave me alone to prepare this so we can eat!" She snapped back before continuing to cut the meat from where she's standing.

He heard guffaws from his back and found his hyungs— Hyunsik, Changsub and Eunkwang giggling at their exchange.

"Well I'm not eating, I already ordered chicken and beer." He sniped.
