-Nara's POV-

The morning passed by quicker than yesterday, the day was cloudy and it looks like the rain might come anytime soon; you are inside your office with Ashley, both of you are finishing up the last paperwork that needs to be delivered today.

Within the time kept passing by, you started to think about your days in China and everything you gave for stupid opportunities. You still studying your last year of High school, well, you are barely going to get back in a few more days.


You are surprised that Seokmin trusted in you the way he did, after all, you aren't professional as everyone thinks you are. And even though you appear on TV as one of the best food critics, you know this is going to be a temporal job.

-World calling Nara! – Ashley shouted, which immediately made you focus in reality once again.

-Oh, hmm, sorry – You said while blinking your eyes a couple of times. –I was just thinking – You sighed.

-I can see that, but in what? – She questioned.

-Well, about work, this work – You spoke.

-Why? – Ashley asked confused.

-Because everything we built is temporal, we need to return to High School – You explained.

-Oh, right – Ashley said. -We need to find a new High School then, after all, we aren't in China anymore – She added.

-True, I forgot about that – You chuckled as you kept on working.

-Yeah, but you shouldn't worry – Ashley said.

-Why? – You questioned.

-I talked with our boss about this a couple of days ago, and he told me that the agency is going to make a recommendation for us in the best schools – Ashley explained. -So, that's going to help us to get a scholarship, isn't that the best? – She asked excitedly.

-It is, but now I'm confused – You admitted.

-Why, Nara? Everything is crystal clear – Ashley spoke.

-No, it isn't for me – You claimed while putting the pen down on the table. -If the President knows that I'm not going to be here forever, why is he making me work in important things that I'm not going to be able to take care of later on? – You questioned.

-Oh, maybe he wants to take advantage of your great work – Ashley said insecurely. -I don't know, but we should hurry up and finish here – She said while looking at the pile of papers next to her.

-True, we'll discuss this later – You sighed.


-Xion's POV-

Everyone else is not tired at all, they seem so fresh and energetic even though we've been practicing for hours; I'm done since I came two hours earlier than the rest of my hyungs, and everything because I got out early yesterday night.

I already told the members what happened with Nara, they were surprised too by the way her boss behaved, and they don't like him now. Just like me.

-Ah! Done! – I shouted tiredly as soon as the song stopped. I got down on my knees and laid down on the floor while breathing fast.

-Come on! Get up Dongju! – Hwanwoong-hyung said while clapping his hands a couple of times.

-Just give me some minutes, hyung – I spoke while placing my arm on my head.

-Hey, breathe in, breathe out – Seoho-hyung said while kneeling next to me.

I settled down to sit on the floor, I looked at Seoho-hyung and did what he's telling me to; I'm breathing in and out trying to control my pace.

-Are you okay? – Ravn-hyung asked while patting my back from behind.

-Yes, I just needed air, hyung – I spoke before taking a last deep breath.

-Guys, the manager called, he wants us to get ready for a meeting – Hwanwoong said while coming towards our spot.

-Okay, to the dorms then – Leedo said while patting my shoulder.

-Get going, I have to talk with Xion – Hwanwoong-hyung said while looking at Keonhee who was about to come with me.

-Right, we'll see you later guys – Keonhee said as he looked at me a bit worriedly, then he got out of the practice room with the rest of the members.

-How are you? – Hwanwoong asked as he sat next to me.

-Good, thanks for asking, hyung – I said.

-There's something that has been bothering you lately, I want to know what is it – He said while looking at me.

-Just foolish things, don't worry about it hyung – I said while playing nervously with my hands.

-You can trust in me, so, when you make up your mind tell me – He smiled before cluttering my hair. -Let's go – Hwanwoong-hyung said as he helped me to stand up.

-Yes – I nodded.


*5:00 p.m.*

-Nara's POV-

You could finally go out in your break time without Seokmin giving you extra work to do, and you think that maybe he didn't know your schedule for today since he hasn't been in the agency all day long.

Right now, you are out with Xion since he had time to see you too. So, for taking a nice time together, you two decided to go somewhere you may have a chill time together.

-You have something, there! – Xion said while putting some ice-cream on your cheek.

-Yah! Don't waste it – You complained cutely before smearing some of yours on his nose.

-Oh! Offensive – Xion said dramatically.

You two started to chuckle while cleaning up your faces with a napkin; he was passing it through your cheek gently, you looked at him happily and then both of you got lost in each other's eyes.

Within seconds, both of you got closer to each other and began to kiss slowly and softly. He was being gentle until you two got apart to look at each other again.

-You are cute – You giggled.

-Hmm, no, you are – Xion claimed happily. -You are the one with blue hair – He chuckled.

-It's an ocean blue; not too dark, not too light – You specified.

-Aha, tell me more, I can stay here and listen to your hair's story – Xion teased.

-Yah! – You complained cutely before eating some of your ice-cream.

-Nara, I want to talk with you about something – Xion spoke.

-Hmm, go ahead – You said while looking at your cup of ice-cream.

-High School is coming soon, and I want to know what's going to happen with you – Xion told.

-I'll stay here, I won't go back to China – You assured. -We still have a couple of months before we get back – You claimed.

-I know, but I just want you here with me – Xion said shyly.

-*Chuckle* and I'm here with you, as before, remember? – You questioned while taking his hand.

-I mean we weren't anything when you went to China – Xion claimed.

-We were best friends, and we started to become close – You remembered. -But now is different – You said.

-And I'm glad about it – Xion smiled before kissing your cheek. -I love you, Nara – He said while blushing out a bit.

-I love you more, Xion – You said while looking at him happily.
