OMNISCIENT.

Apart from the fact that Yeoreum was unusually decent- looking today, she disposed herself onto making sure her outfit would make her look ten times more human than her usual 'confused homo sapiens' sort of look. Why, you ask? Well, it was because their contract signing was today, and although the only people who were there were her coworkers and the members of X1, she managed to pull off something out of the ordinary.

Seemingly, the boy directly behind her, appreciated all the details. His eyes were laced with both amusement and adoration for her. From the top of her head to the pumps of her shoes, Yeoreum had Yohan all over her. He cheekily grins, keeping his admiration to himself.

Yes, you could say that Yohan found her pretty, but all the while, he found her straightforwardness, cheesy puns and cunning intellect, far more attractive than just the face value.

"Is there something on my face?" Yeoreum's baffled expression swindled Yohan's consciousness back into reality. "No, there's none. I just uhm, thought of something." He dismissed hurriedly. "If you say so."

She shrugs, surrendering her thought. Yohan clears his throat a second time, his mind asking whether she could tell that he had been staring at her. Junho catches up on the both of them, both his dawning limbs on the shoulders of each of them. "Mr. Jun's our next period. We need to walk faster, or we'll have to do solutions on the board." He blatantly informs the two, interrupting the moment.

"Maybe if you'd stop eating so much snacks, this blouse would fit you better." Yeoreum blabbers to herself in the mirror, fixing some stray hairs. Her gaze follows down her figure, nodding in satisfaction once she sees that it wasn't all that bad.

Distinct individuals from every department of the building gathered inside the meeting room, as X1's contract's signing was about to commence in a few minutes. Yeoreum, along with her constant nervousness that never seemed to leave her system, had returned to the room just in time for the juncture. The quick and repetitive clicks of the flashing cameras reverberated across the hall, and she could feel herself trembling.

The host had started the short event spontaneously, already introducing the members and the staff who were dealing with the memorable endeavour. He called on the members of X1, including Yeoreum and the rest of their assigned staff for this special project. Papers were whipped out, pens in hand, the individuals then proceeded to take their oath willingly. It wasn't really the most prestigious contract, nor was she getting any privileges that came with the job, but Yeoreum was beyond elated to be given the part. I mean, who wouldn't want to work with their idol and follow them everywhere they go?

The timid smiles and silent banter amongst the close classmates escaped the flashing cameras. After the event, the members made sure to greet their staff a loud "You worked hard, thank you!" in unison.

An endearing smile emerged from her face, now thinking about the fact that she'll probably be with these dorks more than her own family. It was unfortunate, but I guess, she'd just have to make them her second home. "I guess you need to call me Ms. Lee from now on." Yeoreum's pout and fake disappointment was as evident as the amused smiles on the boys' faces. "If I don't want to call you that, I won't." Seungyoun teased, inching his body closer to pat her head. "Stop that, hyung. Yeoreum doesn't like it." A whine came from Eunsang's mouth. Seungyoun scoffed kiddingly, "I think she likes it though."

"I do not." The now crimson- faced girl retorted, arms crossed infront of her. "I suggest that you stay composed, you look really hot when you're feisty." Yohan blurts out of the blue, not registering into his mind that he just thought out loud.
