"Elly-yah, I'm gonna take a few days off. Help me to take care of the boys, okay? They don't have much schedules so far, just some dance practices and all. You'll be just fine!" Mr. Kim taps on Elly's shoulder before leaving the office.

"But.. Aigoo, this guy. I don't give my answer yet. Nevermind, I can't give any other answer anyway," Elly laughs at herself.

The door suddenly opens, making Elly startled at her spot.

"Kamjjak-iya! Im Changkyun!" Elly's hand on her chest.

"Ahaa, mian mian. Mr. Kim eodiseo?" I.M looks around for Mr. Kim and stares at Elly back. He suddenly widens his eyes.

"I told you to call me oppa, right?"

"Mr. Kim took a few days off. So I'm in charge now. What is it that you need?" Elly is trying to avoid I.M's question just now.

"Ah, geurae? Uhm, nevermind. Nothing's urgent. Oppa kandaaaa," I.M leaves, shutting the door behind him. Before that, he waves to Elly with a wink.

"Aigoo aigoo, what's with that wink.." Elly shakes her head, smiling. She's feeling comfortable around I.M, maybe because they are at the same age.

8.00PM

Elly is back to her dorm. Her dorm is located just above Monsta X's dorm. Mr. Kim said it would be easier to monitor the boys, or in case something urgent comes up.

She turns on the music player, and plays the song "Done For Me" by Punch. (Author's note: I can't move on with Hotel Del Luna yet ok bye)

... Deoneun dagagal su eobseo naege ...

Her phone beeps telling she got a message. She opens it and it's a text from Mr. Sam!

"How's life there, kid? I'm missing you here. No, not just me. All of us ㅠㅠ"

Elly chuckles before typing her reply.

"I miss you guys too. Serve you right, you're the one sending me here HAHAHA. I'm doing just fine, don't worry. Mr. Kim and the boys are being good to me,"

After she replied, she continues listening to the song. Not too long after that, she falls asleep.

8.00PM, Monsta X's Dorm

"Hyung.. Don't you think Elly is quite attractive?" I.M sits next to Shownu on the sofa at their living room. Shownu looks at I.M, confused.

"What makes you think of her like that? For me, yea she's a bit attractive. But, she's nae style aniyaaa," Shownu then looks down to his phone. He suddenly remembers what Kihyun said to him during the festival.

"You,.. Don't like her, right?" Shownu put down his phone on the table.

"Pfftt. Museun sori ya!" I.M denies.

"That's good, though.."

"But why? Why you asked?"

"Geunyang..." Shownu doesn't want to tell the truth to I.M.

It's better to keep that as a secret for now..

"Mwohae?" Kihyun joins in. He sits in front of I.M.

"Oh.. Nothing. Just talking about how attractive E-"
"Changkyun-ah! Please make me a coffee," Shownu cuts him off. I.M looks at him with a confused face but then he goes to the kitchen to make Shownu's coffee.

"What he's about to talk about?" Kihyun's eyes following I.M's steps to the kitchen, then he looks at Shownu.

Shownu shakes his head, "Nothing..."

Kihyun raises his eyebrows. He then takes out his phone. Suddenly, Elly pops out in his mind. He's daydreaming for quite a long time until I.M snaps finger in front of him.

"What you're thinking about?"

"Ani.. I wonder if Elly is-"
"She's attractive right, hyung?" I.M interrupts before Kihyun finishes his sentences. Kihyun looks at him, surprised. I.M grins, showing his teeth.

Does I.M has a feeling towards Elly?

"Aa.. Yes, yes. I do think that she is attrac.. tive.." Kihyun nods his head and his smile seems uncomfortable.

I.M stands up and goes to his room. Shownu's been staring at the two boys since then.

"I.M said he doesn't have any feelings towards Elly. Geokjonghajima~"

Kihyun lets out a small laugh.

"Who said I like her? I just said, I'm interested in her. That's all,"

"Just interested, my ass. Isn't it the same? Pabo ya.." Shownu throws the small pillow to Kihyun.

Kihyun frowns. Shownu then gets up, taking the coffee I.M made into his room. Kihyun's left there, alone.

Shownu's right. I'm not JUST interested. I REALLY like her! But I.M? What if I.M likes her too? Hmm..
