Hei was exhausted when she held the notebook again, her head felt like it could explode any moment. She threw her laptop aside and sat on the couch with her head in her hands.

This was the last time they would meet for the project but she couldn't deny that this whole project thing had made him a lot more tolerable.

What else could be the reason she asked Jb to come back to her place when Mark wasn't around. They could've met at the cafe but Hei wasn't feeling the need to meet there when they could comfortably work at her place.

"Tired?" Jb's voice startled her but she smiled when she saw him sitting next to her.

Her smile caught him off guard. He never saw her smile this sweetly at him before.

"Yeah." She said while rubbing her forehead

Jb moved a little closer and held her hand.
"Its not going to get better like that." Hei looked at him and he waited for a moment, then shifted to the corner of the couch.

"Lie down." he gestured for her to keep her head in his lap. She rolled her eyes but did as he said and somehow it felt oddly comfortable. She sighed and closed her eyes when Jb started massaging her head with his fingers.

"It feels good." she said in a tired voice. Jb smiled and almost kissed her forehead.

He stilled and mentally cursed himself for trying to do something so inappropriate. If her eyes weren't closed he would've definitely got his ass whooped but he decided to watch her nonetheless.

His face was still close to her as if he froze to that spot, he noticed every little detail about her. From her long eyelashes to her plump lips that looked irresistible.
"What are you guys doing?" a voice shouted. Jb immediately moved back and Hei opened her eyes in surprise while Yugyeom was standing with his arms crossed.

As soon as his voice registered in both of their head they looked at their current situation jumped away from each other as soon as possible and Jb's face went pale.

'Umm.. Nothing. he was just giving me a massage." Hei clarified quickly, though there wasn't a need to clarify.

She never felt the need to justify her actions before but today she became extremely defensive

"Oh yeah? and i'm blind." sarcasm dripped from his voice while his eyes travelled for any sexual interaction.

He was ready to kill if his eyes noticed something inappropriate
"Come on Yug... stop shouting. I'm already having a headache." Hei said in an irritated voice

Yugyeom calmed down a bit when he realised how exhausted Hei actually was but he was still glaring at Jb.

"um... I'll  get going" Jb said in a meek voice and gathered his belongings. She appreciated his actions, rather than his usual insulting dialogues he was acting pretty decent.

Hei nodded at him when he finally looked at her
"I'll see you tomorrow" she said and Jb muttered a small Yeah.

Yugyeom raised his eyes in surprise. Both siblings had their eyes trained on him until he was out of the door

"I'll see you tomorrow" the humour evident in his voice as he mocked her

"Okay... Just answer me honestly. Is something going on between Jb and You?" her face burned at the question and Yugyeom was enjoying his sister's juvenile demeanor.

She shook her head furiously and Yugyeom tried hard not to laugh at her misery so he decided to change the topic

"Where is Mark?" Yugyeom asked looking out at the scorching Heat. Hei composed herself and shrugged her shoulders.

Mark found himself knocking at the front door of the familiar apartment.

What are you doing here?" In-ha looked around for any sign of Hei or Yugyeom but he was alone again.

"Bam and Youngjae aren't here today as well" it felt like they were recreating the same scene from last week and she was had a fair idea of how this was going to end.

"Okay then you're coming with me" he pushed past her sitting on her couch waiting patiently

"Coming where?" she asked tentatively too scared to know the reason.

"Bowling" he said so casually that for a second she thought she misheard him

She was calmly sitting with her coffee mug, finally finding time for herself when he disrupted her 'me day'

"Bowling?" she looked at him and he nodded, her hands were already shaking

"Go with Hei she loves bowling" In-ha said annoyed looking at her coffee mug that was still hot.

She sat next to him grabbing her mug, glaring at him in process
"She's busy so is Yugyeom"

"Go with Bam or Youngjae. I'll call them if you want" she said again trying to grab her phone

"I don't want to go with them. I want to go with you" she was flabbergasted and her emotions were all over the place when Mark held her hand, trying to stop her, startled she dropped the mug making the hot coffee spill all over her T-shirt making her yelp in pain

"Ouch" she snatched her hand from his grip and immediately removed her t-shirt

Startled by the scene in front of him Mark froze his eyes gaping at her as if seeing the performance of the year.

In-ha sighed in relief as she could no longer feel the hot coffee bothering her skin. She monetarily closed her eyes looking at Mark who had his eyes wide open.

It took a moment to register her partial nudity and at the sudden realisation she shrieked in surprise
"Turn around fucker" her eyes sending daggers towards him that was his cue to turn around.

With a red face he immediately unbuttoned his shirt without turning around he stretched his arm to give it to her.

In-ha saw him and with equally wide eyes she immediately it and covered herself.

Her eyes trained on his toned back making her weak to her knees

"Thanks" her voice was small due to embarrassment making Mark turn around with a smirk

"You put on quite a show" In-ha smacked his arm and was about to say something when the front door unlocked.

Youngjae and Bam entered the house with several packets. Bam turned around to see two frozen figures looking at them

"Hey" Mark decided to say, awkwardly he waved at them

Youngjae turned around next nearly fainting at the sight
"Choi In-ha" he said in a low threatening voice making In-ha blabber

"This isn't what it looks like. I swear, you've to trust me" Mark placed his hand on her shoulder, she instantly shut up and Youngjae looked sharply at Mark.

With a fearful look on his face he removed his hand.

Out of four of them Bam was having the time of his life
"Why are you shirtless Mark?" he said so innocently that if they didn't know Bam they would've taken him for a naive young man

"Kunpimook Bhuwakul" Mark took a step towards him

"Young blood i tell you" he said making Mark run after him leaving the two siblings speechless
