"Aren't you guys gonna leave?" irene groaned, trying to push the girls out of the practice room. "We're ordering chicken, we'll leave after eating." Wendy answered, eyeing Irene out of suspicion.

Irene groaned loudly before looking at the clock to check the time. "Why do you want us out so badly?" Seulgi asked, wriggling her eyebrows. "No reason." Irene answered, hesitantly.

All the girls then stared at Irene in shock as they realized what was going on. "Is someone coming over?" Yeri asked, her smirk growing as she walked over to examine Irene's face.

"N-no, I just wanna practice and I can't focus with you all in here." Irene straight up lied, making Seulgi, who knew everything, choke on the water she was drinking. "Hm I smell something fishy." Joy joked, finally catching on to what was happening.

"There's nothing going on, I-" Irene tried to clarify but was interrupted by a knock on the door. "Chickenn!!!" the girls squealed, heading for the door, completely ignoring Irene, which was a good thing for her.

But what they didn't expect was to see Suho standing outside the door, holding a bag of food in his hand. The room suddenly became quiet, all eyes staring at Suho, who was truly confused.

"I guess it's our cue to leave." Seulgi finally said, dragging the other 3 out of the room. "But what about our chicken?" Joy whined as they walked out of the practice room, leaving, Suho and Irene.

"Sorry about that, they thought you were the chicken delivery guy." Irene explained, walking over to Suho, who was still overwhelmed.

While Suho was sitting down, unpacking the food he had bought, Irene rushed to her bag and took out the action figure she bought for suho. "Is that mine?" Suho's eyes gleamed as he saw what irene was holding in her arms.

"Here you go." She said, handing it to him. He admired the gift she bought him for a few seconds before looking at Irene. "Thankyou so much." He simply said but she could sense the sincerity in his soft voice.

Hours had passed and the food were all long gone. It was already late, Suho and Irene were exhausted. "Should i drive you to your dorm? It's too late to call a taxi." Suho offered but Irene shook her head.

"Being in the same car is too risky. I'll just call my manager." she replied before proceeding to call her manager but unfortunately, he didn't pick up.

"You sure you don't need a ride?" Suho offered once again but Irene firmly declined. "I'll take a taxi." She finally said. she was about to call a taxi when Suho stopped her.

"It's dangerous, I can't let you ride a taxi on your own." he said but Irene kept insisting but Suho wouldn't let her. To him, It's better to ride his car and get caught rather than risk her own safety.

"Joohyun-ah, there are probably no more reporters out there. They're probably already asleep. It should be fine if we ride my car." Suho tried to convince her but she was too stubborn.

"i can't risk something happening to you, okay?" Suho finally confessed. Irene became quiet,  not quite sure what to say at this situation.

"So let's not argue about this and just get on my car. If anything like that happens, I'll take full responsibility." Suho said and with that, Irene finally gave in.
