Lee Jihoon's Point of view

"You've got to be kidding me," I whispered underneath my breath when I saw Seungcheol talking to Asia and she's laughing. A sick feeling from my stomach surfaced and I wondered if it's the coffee from earlier. 

"Ah just the man I need to talk to," Hearing Jisoo's voice, I almost ran away. After Jisoo revealed that Asia is related to him and they're second cousins almost made everyone jump away from her. Except for those who were valiant enough to approach her. And instead of acting all high and mighty just because Jisoo is her cousin, she's actually reluctant about sharing the information at the plane. "Woozi-ah, I know you heard me. Stop walking fast because, we both know that I can catch up to you just in time," Groaning internally, I let Jisoo sling an arm around my shoulders while, I'm anticipating to reach our hotel room so I can sleep peacefully, without any disturbances like this idiot beside me. 

"Just so you know, Asia's my distant relative. Cousin to be exact, so keep your dirty paws off her," Smirking, I raised my hand, pointing my index finger at Seungcheol and Asia who's huddled together. Probably talking about something or how to dominate the world. I rolled my eyes, showing my distaste for the both of them. Both of them aren't compatible especially with her height that's shorter than mine. She looks like a kid next to her father.

"How about that moron? He looks like he's got a motive with that cousin of yours," Jisoo suddenly halted in his steps making me look at him and I regret turning back. He stood there with a shit eating grin on his lips and a ridiculous spark in his eyes. "Jihoonie, are you jealous?" Eyes widening, I quickly walked away from him. Not turning back as he chuckled and continue to cajole me. Me? Jealous? No way. She's my assistant and I'm her boss. "Think twice, Jihoon-ah."

"Jihoon-oppa, Manager told me to look after you since you don't want to explore the streets of Kuala Lumpur," Hearing her sweet, gentle voice irritates me right at this moment and I want to snap at her. Instead of answering her, I just pulled my handphone along with my earphones and played some songs. Jealousy from Monsta X and I groaned loudly. Of all songs from my playlist?! Right in front of her?! She probably sensed my foul mood so she just walked beside me, looking at nowhere. Jisoo, the idiot who doesn't know how to sense the atmosphere, linked his arm with hers and they started chatting. Lowering the volume of my music, I heard her talking to Jisoo in English.

"Does Auntie knows that you accepted this job? You know very well that she'll be freaking out once she discovers that one of her princess-knight is missing and went to a new palace," My eyebrows shot up when Jisoo laughed cockily as Asia went full-on rage on him. "Mom knows, she even told me to take this opportunity to change myself and be independent," Her voice went sultry as she spoke. Making me want to record their conversation. "By being this shortie's bodyguard that's imposing as an assistant? Aren't you guilty that you're fooling him into believing that you're just a harmless fangirl?" I heard a slamming sound that made me stop on my tracks as well as the other members. 

The designated bodyguards moved to their fighting stance as Jisoo is now laying on the floor with Asia on top of him. "Don't move," She hissed and removed a small device from Jisoo's collar. After that she composed herself and walked with confidence towards Manager-hyung. "Tracking device, what should I do? If I quickly dispose of this, the fan will be shocked or probably enraged," Me and Minghao helped Jisoo to stand up while, he dusted his pants. Carats normally gave us space and this is the very first time, we've encountered this kind of situation. Asia looked serious and cold at the moment, making me approach the other members with no choice.
