"JIHOON. This isn't good.

"Promise me you tell him about it. He needs to know this."

"That's a wrap!"

Through the next few weeks (maybe about a month or so), Soonyoung and Jihoon had just left that awkward situation aside to focus more.

And as Jihoon's comeback date was getting closer and closer, everyone started becoming busy. Soonyoung had been there, supervising in every practice they had. He had to be a bit strict. Even to his friends.

Tons of meetings were held and Jihoon would probably be one of the busiest people there; since he did have to prepare a whole new album for this. He trained hard (and dieted hard). If you could listen closely, when he would be alone, you'd be hearing him practice his vocals too.

The studio became seemingly colder as they had just finished dancing. Everyone wrapped up and left, Soonyoung's friends waving a goodbye and leaving him with the idol.

"The news said today was going to be sunny." Soonyoung frowned as he looked out the window, drying his hair with a towel.

Jihoon followed in suit, a hoodie on top and his hands tucked into the pockets. He sat on the floor, resting from the tough practice.

"I swear, these days they're getting the weather wrong." Jihoon complained as well, lying down on the floor.

"I wasn't able to bring an umbrella." Soonyoung scrunched up his face, thinking of how he would be able to go home.

This gives Jihoon an idea.

"Well, Seokmin and Joshua invited me to hang out. Maybe I could ask them if you could come then we'll drop you off." the younger proposed an idea.

Just for a while.

Soonyoung raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Aww he cares." he said earning a smack back.

"Does Jihoonie want me to accompany him? What's this now, a double-date?" he smirked as he saw the slightest pink dust on Jihoon's cheeks.

"Hey, don't think about it that way. It's not a date, and plus, we wouldn't want you to get sick now do we?" Jihoon grunted. "And Joshua was also looking for an extra person to hang out with so since you're free, and he knows you, it's a win-win situation."

"Can't argue with that then."

The two went down, meeting Joshua and Seokmin who were waiting just outside the elevator.

"Oh, hey guys!" Joshua smiled as they stepped out, greeting back to the older.

"Hi Jihoon!" Seokmin greeted Jihoon with the same energy. "This is also my first time meeting Soonyoung." he waved at the other who greeted back.

"Just a question, can Soon come with us? He forgot his umbrella so I thought he could just waste the time with us 'till it stops raining."

Soon? Jihoonie?

In just a day they already had nicknames for each other. Uttering them out loud like the other wouldn't notice. It was quite hard to brush off the fact that they've become that close.

"Well of course! Right Minnie?" Seokmin nodded at Joshua. "The more the merrier."

The manager and idol were smiling so much that they were starting to look like each other.

As they walked to the parking lot, Jihoon moved to talk with Joshua and Seokmin moved over to Soonyoung.

"Hello!" he greeted cheerfully. "You know, you are really cool. And by now, you're pretty well known in the company. Which is, actually super cool. A lot of the Idols look up to you there when they dance and how you handle your fans. It's insane, but It's so nice to finally meet you!" Seokmin rambled on, throwing in some animated moves.
